PRESIDENT MISSING.
The Cassen Publishing Company Taid To
Have Been Robbed.

New YORK, June 19.-The Cassell
Publishing Company, of 100 and 104
Fourth avenue, has gone into liquidation.
Before the Supreme Court today, on mo-
ton for the appointment of receiver, it
was charged that the president of the
company, Oscar M. Dunham. was de-
faulter to the amount of about $165, 900
ard had absconded. Judge Lawrence
appointed Henry j. Broker receiver, and
directed that he give bonds of $3.50, 900.
The legitimate business of the corpora
ton is prosperous, it having paid 10
per cent dividends for the past three
years. The corporation was organized
in 1890 to purchase the American plant
and business of Cassell & Co. Uimited)
of England. The corporation engaged
in selling and publishing books in Eng
land, the United States and other coun-
tries. 1t bought the plant and business
for about $3.50. 900, paid in cash one year
after it's organization. Dunham, for
many years, was manager in the United
States Of Cassell & Co. Limited). He
subscribed for about 1400 shares. To
pay for this stock he borrowed money on
short time, and as the loans matured he
met them by fraudulently, as it is alleg-
ed, making and signing in the name of
the defendant corporation its promissory
notes, which he discounted. He then
applied the proceeds to the payment of
his individual debts.

MONARCHY'S DEATH BLOW.
Hawaiian AnnexatiOnists Are in a
Hopeful Mood.
THE NEW GOVERNMENT HAS MOVED
INTO THE PALACE.

This Setting Up Housekeeping Where the
Queen Used To Be Mistress Is Regard
ed as Great Advance-CIaus SprecIx-
els just Now Occupies the Public
Mind-He Has Treated the Islands to
Libel Suit.
HONOLULU, via SAN Francisco, June
19.-The Hawaiian palace is no longer a
palace. 1t is now known as the execu-
tive building, aud is occupied by the
heads of the provisional government.
On June 2 the Hawaiian national flag
was hoisted over the building for the
first time in the history of the islands,
the royal standard heretofore having al
ways foated over the building.
The palace was formally dedicated to
its new uses, June 5th, the government
officials, troops and band and the for
eign representatives participating in the
ceremonies.
Although the provisional government
had decided to occupy the buildings,
matters were hastened by the dynamite
scare of May 81. Besides the provisional
guard S, which are quartered in the base
ment, President Dole and the members
of his cabinet have their offices in it.
The raising of the national emblem
over the palace is regarded by the an
nexationists generally and by many of
the natives as a final blow to monarchy.
Its occupation by the annexationists and
the change in its name were great shock
to the royalists, who looked on in help
less rage
On June the government paid to
Claus Spreckels the sos, 900 it owed him,
| and there is feeling of relief among the
officials that the government is no longer
under obligations to him.
Spreckels denies that he was actuated
| by desire to embarrass the government
| by demanding the return of the money
| loaned by him. He said it was merely a
| business transaction and he wanted his
money.
1t is reported that Spreckels intends to
punish number of sugar planters and
business men who are in debt to him for
opposition to his wishes in regard to the
form of government by pushing them to
| the wall.
| Spreckels also denies this, and says
politics will cut no figure in his business
transactions. Spreckels still insists that
he is done with island politics, and will
let the people fight out the question of
their form of government among them
selves.
tits known that many of the planters
are under financial obligations to him,
but notwithstanding that fact they are
united in their opposition to the sugar
king. 1t is stated that Spreckels will

"A Shut Down BY the Mills Probable.
Especial to the Press.J
BIDDEFoRD, June 19.-Bidd deford strik-
ers are still out and from present indica-
tions they will stay out all summer un-
less their demands are complied with.
The committee of the Loom Exers'
union has been running the strike until
today, but today found them decidedly
out of it. Saturday night they told the
strikers to 60 back to work for 80 days,
pending settlement Of the question of
wages. The strikers did not like it. To-
day they appointed committee Of their
own and instructed this committee to
keep the strike on until they got some
satisfaction from the corporations.
When Lawyer Lizotte and the loom
ixers' committee told the strikers Satur-
day night to 60 back to work it was gen.
orally supposed that the strike was
broken and that the strikers would 70 to
work. They did nothing of the kind.
There were big crowds around the mill
gates this morning at bell time, ,lbut only
few went in. The corporations
claim material increase in the number
of looms running but the strikers deny
it. There were big crowds out at noon
also, but fewer operatives went in than
did in the morning. The action of the
strikers was great surprise to the mill
people, who had expected that nearly all
the strikers would come in to work. And
Lawyer Lizotte, who last week was the
strikers unerowned king, is an uncrown-
ed king no more. He has been deposed-
fred.
The strikers held meeting this morn.
Ing in small hall to which newspaper
men were not admitted. Speeches were
made by speakers who favored continuing
the strike until Agent Macarthur made
| them some definite promise as to wages.
| A new executive committee was appoint.
| ed to take charge of the strike and an.
other meeting was called for tonight al
the same place. The strikers claim that
| the loom fixers' committee and Lawye,
| Lizotte, who together told them to go
back to work, obtained no real conces.
sion from Agent Macarthur. Only three
of the old committee were chossn to
serve on the new one. ,Lizotte is not in it.
The strikers held big meeting in city
hall tonight. 1t was presided oyer by

Bagging Grapes on the Vine.

In districts where grape rot prevails
the crop is safe where bags are used,
says Thomas Meehan. They should be
put over the punches early, before there
is any danger of the fungus germs be-
ing in the atmosphere, as they lodge for
quite while at times before commence
ing to spread. The fungus which causes
the graperot behaves at times in very Gu
rious manner. 1t has decided prefer
ence for certain kinds.
A curious case was recorded recently
in Garden and Forest. It was that of
vineyard in which were some of the Con
cord and the Ives grapes. The fungus
fastened itself upon the Concord punches
but not upon the Ives, even when at
times the punches of the two sorts were
were interlaced. More curious still is
the fact that not far away was planting
of Ives by themselves, and these were
seized on by the fungus to some extent.
There is no doubt that the fungus has
a preference for sorts, meeting with it's
requirements on one which it does not
on another. Yet this does not explain
how it was that when mixed with the
Concord the Ives entirely escaped, while
catching it by themselves. 1t is unex-
plainable, for we can not think that fun
gus spores travel from ore bunch to an
other, searching for the one which suits
them best but, as it is certainly known
that some sorts are much nearer fungus
proof than others, where but little rot
occurs, these sorts should be planted.
But no one need be afraid to plant
whichever kind suits best, if but prepared
to use PAPER bags. Besides that it pre-
vents rot, it keeps the punches clean,
with we'll preserved bloom, and saves
them from bees and other depredators.
