FOR the past week two young
fellows Ilailing from Little Rock to
this city have been taking orders for
photographs Their scheme was TO
issue club tickets for % cents each
and the holder would report to Ed
miston, the photographer, and on
presentation OF membership ticket
would get work done at reduced
rates They would almost Invariably
be admitted into the parIor or the
sitting room OF every house they
would call at in the city and while
the ladies' and children were looking
at the samples OF pictures they {; I
lied With them, the sharpeis would

small articles of value that they
could secret on their person. There
is no telling to what extent they
carried ON their plans Of robbery AT
last they were detected. Yesterday
morning they called at Deputy Sheriff
Clay's residence and while Mrs Clay
was examining the pictures they
stole her gold ring and bracelet. Mr..
Ciays brother, who is here on Il visit,
was informed by Mrs. Clay OF the
robbery and heat once went to work
to capture the rogues.

Attempt to Put Himself on the Foot
Ing OF an Official Diplomat at
the Reception Monday.

NtsHNGroN, Dee 30-The White
House diplomatic reception on Mon
day will lack nothing OF its usual
brilliancy and all the legations at
the capital viii be represented. The
President will, as usual. receive in
the Blue room and light refreshments
will be served.
\ good deal OF speculation is being
INDUCED in among members OF the
diplomatic corps concerning the
probability Of Archbishop Satolli,
the papal legate, participating in the
diplomatic function, and although
no hint has come from the legate
precedents have been discussed and
old arehioyes oyerhauled in order to
determine the status OF the question.
Among those who know it is not re-
garded as probable that the Arch
bishop viii participate in the function
on Monday. He has called at the
White House but once since his ar
rival in this country, and Secretary
Ghesham took pains to subsequently,
explain that the call was a personal
rather than an official one While a
papal legate, or, III plain English, the
diplomatic representative of the
Vatican. the Archbishop has not the
standing OF a member OF the dipl0-
matte corps, from the fact that there
is no provision for an exchange of
diplomatic eourtesies between the
Vatican and the United States
Nevertheless the Archbishop, among
the foreign legations that profess bis
own faith, is regarded as a semi
I diplomat, and ii more than one in
stance calls have been made aud re-
turned. There is no doubt but that
his reception at the White House on
Monday. should he pay Il formal
visit will be as cordial as that of
any member Of the diplomatic corps.
but ut the same time the general
opinion among the embassies is that
the astate representative ri tire
Holy See will not attempt to put
himself on the footing OF an official
| diplCmatist in q national function.

A TENNESSEE TRAGEDY.

Triple Tragedy Following an Attempted
Arrest of q Woman In Greene County,
Tenn.
New YORK, Feb. 10.-A special to the
World from Knoxville, Tenn, says:
Two factions in Greene county, Tenn.
and Madison county, N. c., led on the
one hand by E. X. Johnson, and on the
other by the notorious mountaineer,
Jim Cole, have for months been
fighting each other through the courts
Wednesday jim Cole and a friend
Tom Hixon, visited Johnson's house,
claiming to have a warrant for Mrs
Johnson's arrest. She called her hus-
band to come to her assistance. His
feet were frozen, but he managed to
crawl out and open fire on Hixon and
Cole. They returned the fire and John
son was killed.
Mrs. johnson ran into the house and
returned with a shotgun, the contents
of which she emptied into Hixon's
breast, killing him. She was about to
open fire on Cole, but he got ahead of
her, and with a load of buckshot, at
close range, almost decapitated the
woman.

THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
MT. Gladstone Determined to Bring the
Home-Rule Bill Forward.

MT. Gladstone Determined to Bring the
Home-Rule Bill Forward.
LONDON, Feb 10.-In the house of
commons yesterday before the debate
on the address was resumed, Mr.. Glad
stone stated that although he was un-
willing to do anything to check the
liberty of discussion, the time had
come when the government must in
tervene in order to expedite the intro
duction of the home rule bill. The bill
ought to be introduced on Monday 1t
had already, in anticipation, been de-
nounced in the most violent terms,
and if the debate was not closed to-
morrow he would appeal to the house
to sit upon Saturday until the debate
on address would be finished. Hearty
Cheers.
In accordance with the notice pre-
viously given, Mr.. Gladstone moved
that the rule providing for the ad-
journment of the house at midnight be
suspended in order that the debate on
the address in reply to the queens
speech might be brought to an end as
speedily as possible.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. John Il. E. Redmond, member
for Waterford City, then resumed the
debate on address.

force TO abrogate the existing consti,
tuition and proclaim a new one. The
uprising of citizens which finally re.
suited in the establishment of the
provisional government took place at
the express request of the cabinet of
which Mr.. Colburn was member in
response to a call from the cabinet to
the citizens to support them with arms
against the demands of the queen.
WHEN THE TROUBLE BEGAN.
when the trouble began on the 14th
the United States minister and the
United States steamer Boston were
both absent from Honolulu, and had
been for about ten days previous, on a
cruise to the Windward islands. If the
American minister and the commander
of the Boston had been in conspiracy
with the queen or any one else to cause
disturbance they would most GER
tainly have remained at the capital
during the closing days of the legisla-
ture, when there was more likelihood
than at any other time to be disturb
ance.
In the second place, if they had been
seeking or scheming for any such OBJ

have embraced the first opportunity
for landing United States forces.
There was ample justification for such
a course to have been followed by the
American minister on Saturday, the
14th, Sunday, the 18th. or at any time
Monday, the 18th. No troops, in fact,
were landed until o'clock in the
afternoon of Monday, the 10th of Janu-
ary.
THE ONLY QUESTIONS REMAINING.
''The sole questions remaining to be
considered are:
''First-Did the circumstances war
rant the American minister in landing
troops? and,
Second-After they were landed did
they take any action against the queens
government or in any way Interfere
in local affairs?
'"The reply to the first inquiry is that
the circumstances most emphatically
justified Mr.. Stevens landing the troops
for the protection of American citizens
and their property.
Second, the queen having threat
ened the lives of her ministers, includ-
ing Mr.. Colburn, the cabinet appealed
to the citizens for armed support of
which they were Immediately assured,
on the same afternoon that IL was re-
quested. The city was therefore in a
state of revolution that Saturday after
noon with the queen and 700 armed
men on one side, and the cabinet and
practically the entire business COM
munity, led by determined men who
had announced their intention to re-
sist encroachment upon their rights
upon the other.
There was no public acknowledge
ment of the provisional government by
the American minister until after the
abdication of the queen and surrender
of the barracks and police station, to-
gether with all the forces and muni-
tions of war located therein. The pro-
tectorate does not in any manner inter-
fere with the regular progress of the
public business under the provision al
government nor with the negotiations
with the United States government"

Triple Murder.

KNOXVILLE, Feb. GA land lawsuit
resulted in triple tragedy in Green
County yesterday, one of the victims be-
ing a woman. Ed Johnson and jim
Cole were the principal litigants. The
matter has been going on in the courts
for some time, and bad feeling between
the opposing factions grew hotter every
day. Yesterday Jim Cole, accompanied
by his attorney, Tom Hixon, went to
Johnson's house, claiming to have q
warrant for Mrs. Johnson's arrest. They
called her out and told their business.
She refused to go with them, and called
to her husband, who was in the house,
unable to come out on account of badly
frozen feet. But hearing his wife's cry
of distress, he hobbled to the door with
his ever-ready Winchester in hand.
When he appeared, and before he had
time to raise his gun, Cole and Hixon
fred, and he fell dead in his door. His
wife ran to his side, and the men, ex-
pecting no further trouble, lowered their
guns. Quick as flash Mrs. Johnson
seized her dead husbands Winchester

Hixon's heart. Then she turned the
deadly weapon on Cole, but he was too
quick, and in another instant she gave
one fearful scream, reeled and fell dead
across the body of her husband.
The Johnsons leave five sons, all of
them quite old enough to carry Win
chesters, and to do fearful work with
them, too. They swear to avenge the
death OF their parents, and there is no
telling how many lives will be lost be-
fore the feud is settled.
