To all Y hom ii May Concern.

The Rev. w. III. wild Bid
Evans closed a meeting of fourteen
days duration last Sunday night.
As the result of this meeting we re-
ceived seventy~five members into
the church, and twenty-five or thir-
ty infants were baptised. L expect
to receive twenty or twenty-five
more members into my church in a
short while from the influence of
this meeting. Brother Evans
drew the largest crowds ever assem-
bled in New Madrid for religious
worship. He did not only draw
the people, but held them as by
magic power. Some laughed, some
cried, some fell out with Brother
Evans, some with themselves, and
glory to God, great many fell out
with sin and the devil and came
over on the Lords side. Brother
Evans work in New Madrid will
abide. / endorse him through and
through. May the good Lord con-
tlnue to bless his labors.

Synopsis of Sherman's Speech On
The Silver Question.
The Postoffice Appropriation Bill Considered
By the lfouse-Absent Members Must
Put in an Appearance.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-In the Senate
the calendar was laid aside at o'clock and
the bill to provide for the free coinage of
gold and silver taken up. There were then
about dozen senators on each side of the
chamber Sherman had been in his seat
for half an hour waiting Cor the bill to be
brought up. Teller and Stewart we're also
present and in frequent consultation.
SHERMAN ON THE SILVER QUESTION.
Sherman prefaced his speech on the sill
yer bill by saying that ne did not regard it
as partisan measure or political measure
in which the parties were likely to divide
1t was largely a local measure. There
was no question to be compared with
it in the Importance of its effects
on the business interests of the country
He went on to defend the financial action
of the Republican party and his own part
in it. In passing an allusjon to the ma
tional banking system, Sherman said those
banks would soon pass away, not because
they were the Eest banks in the world, but
because the United States bonds upon
which they rested would be paid Off He
insisted that the system fully justified
itself. He said the discontiuuance of the
coinage of the silver dollar in 1873 and the
substitution of the trade dollar was made
upon the representations of California and
other silver states, who wanted to trans
port silver to China. The only trouble
about the law was that the senators could
not see ahead. IT it had been known that
silver was going TO fall as rapidly as it did.
he would have kept the silver dollar and
put it on the same footing as fractional sill
yer. The suspension of silver coinage by
the Latin Union and the increase Of the
production had given the greatest blow to
silver. 1t was not true that he was IN
friendly to silver.
Sherman then went on to denounce the
bill under consideration as wrong in princi-
pie. in detail, and in every aspect fraud
on the creditor, q deception to the debtor
and characterization of gold. The very
threat of the free coinage of silver. he said,
was doing more than anything else to dis
turb the business interests of the country
At this point the chairman yielded to q
motion to adjourn.

NIPPED IN THE BUD
Twenty Persons Arrested for
Conspiracy.
Well Known Agitators Trying to Depose
Queen Liluiokalanl and Establish Re-
public-lncendiary Speeches.

Honolulu. May 31.-Much excitement
was caused here on the 2lst inst. by the ar
rest of twenty persons for conspiracy to
depose Queen Liliuokalani and establish a
republic.
The leaders in the movement are under
stood to be Volney V. Y. Ashford and
Robert Wilcox, well known agitators.
Besides Wilcox and Ashford, both of
whom were concerned in the revolutionary
incidents of 1887 and 1889, about twenty
other persons, mostly Hawaiians. were
arrested, including J. Z. Bush, editor of a
native paper and who served the cabinet
several times and in many other public
Offices
The night before the arrest largely at
tended meeting was held, at which Bush,
wilcox and others, including Mr. Hunts
man. prominent Liberal. made addresses,
strongly condemning the present govern
ment and censuring the li.eep for keeping
an '1nsigniiicant Tahitian as crown favor
lte." This Is understood to refer to Mar
snail Wilson. The president of the cabinet
is condemned as inefficient and its acts de-
trlmental to the interests Of the country.
RESOLUTIONS declare the dissatisfaction of
the natives by reason of their disfran-
chlsement in 1887 ana the apparent deter
minatlon OF those now in authority to per
petuate this; denounces the financial in
competency of the administration, parti-
sanshlp OF courts, etc.; sets forth that the
nrSt necessity Is new constitution re-
storing to the natives full rights and de-
handing the coming legislature take up all
these questions at once, as we'll as the
question OF corruption of public officials.
Huntsman made quite an incendiarv
speech, saying that few men have sucked
the wealth of Hawaiia and made the ma
tives like the beasts of the fields. He
blames the missionaries in large meas
ure; he told the natives that what would
happen them would depend on what tbey
would stand, and told them to buy rifles.
The arrests were made next day. Great
excitement was created, hut no demonstra-
tions The case has been continued
Marshal Wilson asserts that his actions
at the meeting were not the cause of ar
rest, but that he learned that the
Hawaiian protective association" in
which many of those arrested were active
is prepared for vigorous action and has for
its object the overthrow of the existing
government.
Wilcox, in an interview, denounces Will
son. He asserts that the association was
not disloyal. Bush made statement in
keeping with his speech. The only hope
OF his countrymen, said he, lies in the bal
lot. He said Admiral Brown had suggested
to him some time ago that he was informed
the people of the United States understood
their position and was their good friend
The admiral hoped Bush would counsel
against any overt act. Bush thought if
trouble did come it would como from the
apnexationists. There is considerable I'M
easiness in the islands owing to the matter.

Over Twelve Hundred People
Killed at Mauritins.
HORRIBLE WORK OF AHURRICANE
Collapse of a Factory, Killing Two Hundred
Indians-Fearful Sights Witnessed in
the Streets-Dsmage Incalculable.

MARsEILLEs, May 31.-The mails which
have just arrived from Mauritus confirm
the staement that 1000 persons were
killed and 1000 injured in the recent hur-
ricane. The hurricane was preceded by
violent magnetic disturbance. The sea
rose nine feet, the highest level since the
cyclone of 1915 Scarcely a house in the
colony escaped damage. Many churches
and public buildings were destroyed. The
church of the Immaculate Conception is
IN ruins. The cathedral, by strange
chance escaped. The dead include large
number of leading inhabitants. Fearful
sights we've witnessed in the streets. A
factory on the Martin estate collapsed,
killing 200 Indians. Half the sugar crop is
destroyed. Planters losses are incalcul-
able. The country districts suffered heav-
lily but as nothing compared with Port
Louis. Here the residents who survived
the disaster were almost too dazed and I'M
nerved TO be of much assistance in the
work of restoring something like order out
Of the state Of chaos existing.
About noon the storm broke with furi-
Gus kissing and for ninety minutes the
pltlless tornado ragged, accompanied by q
deluge of rain. Buildings collapsed, roofs
were blown off and trees were blown
down. The barometer suddenly began to
rise, the wind lulled and many people went
out. believing all danger passed At 8
O'Clock the wind burst again in ten fold
violence from directly opposite quarter.
It's Jury was maintained for two hours At
8 O'Clock the weather was again calm.
Fires then broke out in the eastern SUP
urbs and destroyed what the wind had
spared

OUR NATURALIZATION LAWS

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The cabinet meet
ing TO-DAY was attended by all the members
except Secretary Blaine, Elkins and Fcs-
ter. The two last named are out of the
city.
AT the state department it is said that
Blaine's failure to attend was probably due
to the fact that he was very busy at the de-
partment with matters which have accu-
INFLATED during his visit to New York. At
the White House no significance whatever
was attached to his absence, for the stated
reason that it was not generally known
that the president had returned to the city.
and also because no notice was given that
there would be a meeting 1t is said
further there was no formal meeting; it is
also said that the reason no cabinet meet
ing was called was that the president was
fatigued after his "trip to Rochester and
had no important matters at present for
consideration. The foregoing statements
are not volunteered, but made in answer to
inquiries as to the probable cause of Blaine's
failure to attend what was erroneously
supposed to have been a regularly called
meeting of the cabiner.

NATURALIZATION LAWS.
Committee Ashed for to Inquire Into the
Practices in New York.

A Committee Asked for to Inquire Into the
Practices in New York.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Hiscock
today presented a memorial signed by
Elihu Root, Horace Porter, Joseph NJ.
Drexel, Cornelius Bliss and others, with
out regard to political utilization, asking
that committee be appointed to inquire
into the system of naturalization in New
York city to the end that remedial legisla-
tion be devised and enacted with reference
thereto. They set forth that the immigra-
tion records show in 1891 that over 200, 600
foreigners came to this country from
Europe, but small portion of whom can
either read, write or speak the English
language and were wholly ignorant of our
laws and the principles OF our government.
That there seems reason TO believe that
Immediately prior to the last electiod in
New York state, NATURALIZATION was &C
companied b. great irregularities ard ex-
tenslve frauds. In single court in New
York during the first twenty days of
October there were nearly seven thousand
natnralizations. of which about six thou
sand were by one judge. 1t is obvious
that the system of naturalization which
can produce results with such startling
rapidity must be defective. aid there is
reason 10 believe the results were made
possible by wholesale perjury That these
evil practices are constantly adding a most
undesirable element to our community by
the surrender of the material part of our
power OF government to men who
really ere aliens and ignorant and wholly
unit to govern themselves or US.

in charge the appropriation, have reported
to the full committee The sub committee
consisted Of Messrs. Holman, Forney and
Sayers, Democrats, ana Dingley and Cogs-
well, Republicans Forney voted with the
Republicans, casting the majority vote.
They made their report to the full com
mittee on Saturday last, which brought up
the question of the commission again. 1t
was then that Judge Holman took strong
ground against continuing the commission.
The judge had been turning over in his
mind the arguments against the COM
mission. and ne had also been read
ing the editorials in THE SALT
LAKE HERALD regarding this aggregation
Of high salaried sinecures. After some
discussion vote was taken upon the
clause, which carried the appropriation for
the next fiscal year. 1t was decided to
throw il out. This result was reached on
q strict party vote the Democrats opposing

preparation.
