According to private accounts from

come indescribable. The authorities are
clearly incompetent to grapple with tho
epidemic there, and the assistance from
private sources ID totally inadequate.
We have now reached death rate Of

A Crisis Approaching in Hawaii.

WASHINGTON CRY, Oct. 4.-According
to late advices received st the state de-
partment from Minister Stevens, affairs in
the Hawaiian islands are growing from
bad to worse. Serious political troubles,
which may develop into a revolution, are
feared. That the state department views
the situation with some concern is shown
by a request from Secretary Foster that
orders for the cruiser Boston to leave Hon
olulu for Acapulco, where she was to Join
Rear Admiral Gherardi's special fleet, be
countermanded, and that the Alliance be
kept at Honolulu until after things are
more tranquil. The state department
promptly acquiesced and telegraphac
instructions to this effect were
sent to San Francisco Saturday last and
are in the mail which left by the steamer
for Honolulu Saturday. Orders Tor the
Boston to sail were sent by the Alliance,
which left San Francisco early last week,
and it may happen that the Boston Will
get off before the mail steamer arrives
with the countermanded orders. In that
event another vessel will be sent from San
Francisco to join the Alliance in looking
after American interests in Hawaii. The
chief concern felt by the state and naval
officers over the situation In Honolulu
grows out Of the possibility of something
happening to destroy our chances in secur-
ing control of Pearl harbor as a coaling
station,

A Good Meeting ut Tolt.

At Tolt last Saturday night the three
Republican speakers who were appointed
to speak there found the Peoples party
had gained possession of the hall and that
they would have to beard the lion in his
den. A large crowd mad been secured
through the efforts of w. II. Lord, and
they found the meeting was made up of
representatives of all three parties. X. c.
Washburn was the first speaker He de-
voted twenty minutes to showing the
falacies of the Peoples party platform,
and brought out some telling arguments.
Then w. H. Heaton and A. Baker, Peo-
pies party candidates for the legislature,
asked and were accorded permission to
reply. They talked in rambling
manner and lodged the issue in
such a way that even their own supporters
afterward took them to task. A. b. Ball
followed them in an address of about an
hour, and after demolishins the men of
straw set up by the L opulists, waded into
the real issues of the campaign. Hon. ].
s. Sallee. Republican candidate for the
legislature was the next speaker, and he
received a hearty response To short but
vigorous speech, the audience cheering
repeatedly when telling points we're made
by either one of the speakers. There can
be no doubt that the meeting did much
ynnt
