Considered Serious Enough to Require tho
Presence OF q First-CIass Warship.
By request OF the State Department the Navy
the return of the warship Boston from Homo
lulu. This order was telegraphed to San Fran
cisco, and forwarded by mail by tho steamer
which sailed recently from that port. The U.
S. s. Alliance had sailed from San Francisco
only short time before for Honolulu, to re-
lievo the Boston, and if the cOuntermand does
not reach tho Boston in time, another warship
will likely be sent from San Francisco to re-
inforce the Alliance.
The cause OF this is that the State Depart
ment has received news that the political
affairs in Hawaii are unsettled, and internal
dissensions are possible, in which event our
Government desires to have sufficient force
present to protect American interests. Accord
ing to the latest advices recciv by the State
Department, the dissatisfaction which caused
the resignation Of the old ministry is said to
have greatly increased by tho appointment of
the new Ministry, which contains the names of
Samuel Parker and Paul Newman, two of the
officers who were rejected by the Legislature
when the first Ministry was formed. The reso-
luton of censure proposed against the parties
responsible for tho reappointment of the two
mon named, which failed to pass the Legisls.

says affairs are fast approaching serious
political crisis The chief concern felt by our
officials at Honolulu grows out of the possibility

HOUSE LETTER BOXES.
Postmaster General Wanamakcr's Orders
Concerning Their Use.

The order which Postmaster General Wana-
maker has just issued depntiziug the Postmas-
tiers in free delivery cities, towns. and country
communities to put up house letter boxes for the
collection rs well rs The delivery of mail. when.
ever two thirds of the househo!ders on r given
route signify their desire to have this new double
service. affects nearly 1000 600 residences. The
letter boxes tested in St. Louis and Washington
were selected after two years of examination.
The test shows that collections rs we'll as deliy-
cries are possible without any loss of time on
the average, and that where circumstances are
favorable. as on eompactly settled routes time is
actually saved which may be devoted, OF course,
to putting on extra deliveries at the proper time.
There are important Incidental advantages
in the house-to house collection system. The
chief one is, perhaps, that the safety of the
mail would be much greater. The chance OF Sc
curing booty enough to pay for the risk would be
too small for II mail rohber. with practically all
the mail dropped at house doors, aud the chance
of detection would be practically sure. Street
letter boxes would, of course. be patToIizcd Just
the same, but in degree 100 times smaller.
perhaps, and ihs same reasons would prevail
why it would not be safe for robbers TO break
them open.
Tho Posimaster- General proposes to supple
ment bis first order 10 the Postmasters in FREQ
delivery places with mora detailed directions
for placing the boxes. as soon as tho boxes are
ready to be placed, and that will BIS very soon.
An important adjunct 10 the success of the
matter will be enthusiasm of P0stmas.ers TO
make this great departure in tho free delivery
service success and also the efforts of the car
risrs. whose work will be so much facilitated.

SILVER BULLION MARKET.
1t Perplexes the Treasury Officials, who Can
not Understand Its Fluctuations.

1t Perplexes the Treasury Officials, who Can
not Understand Its Fluctuations.
Ono of the Treasury Department officials
stated recently that the course of the silver
bullion market is an enigma to the Department
officials. They can't understand it and have
given up trying to do so. He said that one
would naturally imagine that where fixed
demand was created. as was done by the act of
July, 1890. for 100000 ounces q month. the
draft upon the source of supply would tend to
stiffen up prices. And especially would this
be expected when, as was the case in the Uni
ted States, the stock was diminis hed by strikes
and other causes. But the price at which sill
yer bullion is offered to the Treasury has gone
steadily down since the purchase of 100000
ounces a month was begun, until last week.
when it reached .S345 cents an ounce. And
this decline has been concurrent with decreased
totals of the offerings to the Department. The
smaller the quantity the less tho price"
In answer to the question il foreign bullion was
bought, or if foreign coins melted and sold to
the Government. he said: mo; we buy nothing
but American silver. We can tell from the re-
ports of imports that no foreign coins are COM
ing in. / suppose" said the official in conclu-
sion. "that tho most probable explanation of
the apparent phenomenon is that, whereas
the United States has increased its demands
| for silver, some other countries have decreased
theirs, and bullion which formerly went out of
| the country must now be disposed of here"

NEW MARINE BAND,
That Is What Prof. Sousa Calls His Chicago
Aggregation.

Col Charles Haywood. Commandment Of the
United States Marine Corps, has been overhaul
ing the Revised Statutes TO if he cannot
find some law which will prohibits. Prof. Sonsa
late Leader Of tho Marine Band in Washington
from adopting the rama of Now Marine
Band for his Chicago aggregation, but it is
said that tho most diigeDt search failed to dis
cover any authority which would prohibit the
Professor from using the word Marine in
connection with his band, i9ueh to the chagrin
of Col. Hey wood. Ii IS understood. however,
that the Colonel does not propose TO give up the
fight simply because the statutes do not furnish
the necessary rolief. and he proposes to 90 10
Congress at the beginning of the next session
and bavo a law passed on the subject.
The Marine Band will go to Chicago to par
ticipate in the dsdicatory services of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, and they have
been promised the place OF honor in the pro-
eession. 1t has not yet been decided who will
succeed Prof. Sousa az the Leader Of tho band,
but it is thought the honor will be conferred
upon Prof. Smith, who has been acting as the
Leader OF the band since Sousa resigned tho
position. There have been numerous appii-
cantions filed in the Navy Department for this
vacancy, but nothing has been done regarding
the matter. 1t is thought. however, that Prof.
Smith will ultimately succeed to the position
of Leader of the band.

ABOUT PEOPLE,

Senator Leland Stanford, of California, Is ex.
pected to sail this week from Europe for the
United States. The Senator and Mrs. Stanf ford
left Washington early in Juno last. They

return to America considerably benefited by
the change. Upon his arrival at New York
Senator Stanford will go directly to his Cali

friend of President Harrison, and one of his

GEN. WEAVER AT PULASKI,

Condemned for Executing the Orders OF His
| Superiors while Commanding the Post al
that City.
The people Of Pulaski, Tenn, had to be co.
| creed by the Chairman Of the Democratic State
| ommittee to give Gen. James ID. Weaver. Presi-
| dental candidate of the Peoples Party, re
| spectfnl hearing. The General was billed for
| speech Mt Pulaski last Saturday, and conserva-
tive men of the place advised him to keep away,
as he was in bad odor in that locality because
many citizens of Pulaski hold that he was ty-
ranncal, cruel, and unjust in his treatment of
them during the time ho was commandment OF
the most in that city in the Spring OF 1864.
The Official Rebellion Records show that
Gen. Weaver then Colonel Of the Cd Iowa. WAS
in command at Pulaski in the Spring of 1864,
and that ho was ordered by Gen. 6. NJ. Dodge,
commanding left wing of the Sixteenth Corps,
to collect money TO support Union refugees
coming within the Union lines ut Pulaski In
carrying ont this order Gen. Weaver collected
$3.50 from Thos Martin. 500 from DR., Batiee
and Chas. Alternately, Robert Dickson, J. II.
Newbell J. NJ. Morriss. David Reynolds, r.
Alternately. and Thos. d. Bailey were assessed
in sums ranging from 500 to $50 for this pur'
pose. All this happened in January, 1864, and
was done by order of Gen. Dodge
Again, in February, 1864. Gen. Dodge Issued
| an order which reads as follows, which Gen.
Weaver executed:
1T having been ascertaned that the follow
ing named citizens were engaged in breaking
| up aud driving out of this country Mr.. J. w.
Waldron, a stanch Union man, aud that they
purchased portion of his goods when publicly
sold by a band of guorrillas under the lead of
one Capt. Enmerson, it is hereby ordered that
they pay to Col. J. b. Weaver, Cd Iowa Inf,
commanding post at Pulaski, the sums set op-
posite their names, and that Col Weaver turn
over to said J. w. Waldron, or his family, tho
amount so collected, and make report of the
same. in compliance with General Orders. No
4. Headquarters Military Division Of the Mis-
sssppi."
In executing this order Con. Weaver got
$1,000 from Clay Stinmtt, $500 from John
Marks and $500 from Quarles May yield, all Of
whom were assessed in said amounts by the
order of Gen. Dodge, quoted above, aud which
Gen. Weaver simply carried out, and was not
responsible for.
Because Gen. Weaver executed the orders Of
his superors he is accused by the people of
Pulaski. Tenn. of being "tyranncal, cruel and
unjust in his treatment of them during the
war;" and made it necessary for the Chairman
Of the Democratic State Committee to urge the
County Democratic Chairman to use his best
endcavors to obtain for this Yankee General
and candidate for Presidential hou0rs respect
full hearing. And yet there are people who
protest against the waving Of the bloody
Shirt" who say that the war is over. Is it,
when such things happen in the South every
day?

TRIED BY JURY.

Lieut.. Amiss, of the Police Force, up for
Assauiting Man During the G. A. r.
Parade.
On Wednesday, Oct. 5, Lieut. Amiss, of the
Metropolitan Police force, was on trial before a
jury il Judge Miler's Police Court for an as
sault upon Wm w. Fowler, q citizen of Wash
ington while the Grand Army parade was
passing Fifteenth street aud Pennsylvania
avenue. Fowler was in the crowd at that
point aud claimed that the crowd back Of
him pushed him beyond the limit allowed, and
that before he could get back Lieut.. Amiss
struck him in the mouth with his baton, cut
ting his lip and knocking out some Of his
teeth.
The case was reported to the District Com
missioners, and they advised Mr.. Fowler to
have the Lieutenant tried in the Police Court,
and if lie was found guilty of the brutal as
sault claimed by the injured man, they would
act at once and relieve the police forcs Of the
officer. Consequently Fowier swore out war
rant, and the Lieutenant was brought to trial
before jury last wednesday.
large number of witnesses testified that
Fowler who was not in the front rank of the
crowd, was simply being pushed forward by
the people back Of him, and that the officer
was ordering the crowd back. Upon their fail
ure to obey tho order Lieut.. Amiss jumped
into the crowd. grabbed a negro by the throat,
aud struck Fowler with his club. The latter
was doing nothing at the time to warrant the
attack upon him. Fowler was subsequently
arrested by another policeman, taken to the
station, and from thence to the Emergency
Hospital to have his wound dressed, after
which he was released, as there were no
charges preferred against him by either Lieut..
Amiss or the policeman who arrested him.
The was continued over, and Lieut..
Amiss had his innings on Thursday. Several
of his witnesses testified to the effect that
Fowler deliberately ran his mouth against the
Lieutenants club. The officer who arrested
Fowler by order of the Lieutenant, after the
saut was committed was severely lectured By
! Judge Miller because he placed the charge of
Suspicious against Fowler instead of disor-
orrly conduct. as he could be detained indef-
nateIy on that charge, while on the disorderly
chargs he could DO released by paying So col
lateral. The Judge told the officer that no had
no right to charge person with crime he
was not guilty of and he gave the police force
warning that if such thing was ever brought
to his notice again, he would make the police
man snuer for the crime
When the case was given to the jury after
argument by counsel and the charge by the
Judge. it did not take them but q short time to
return verdict Of not guilty.
