HURT RATHER THAN HELPED HARRIS
Every opportunity was afforded at the hear
ing to invite evidence upon the questions at
issue. but a careful examination of the testi-
monv taken lead TO but one conclusion
tine witnesses for the defendant have en-
treiy faLeG 20 establish the alleged fact
that Helen Potts addicted to the use of
morphine. No valid evidence has been pro-
duced TO prove that she ever took NOR
pine. except few occasions for
medical purposes. Indeed. the result
of this hearing. taken in connection with
certain atidavits filed after the determination of
the case by lis courts. supported more strongly
than before the theory of the defendants guilt.
The evidence of DR.. Einmouth, Miss
Na6deli anu Mics jackson might all be
considered establishing tha. Miss Potts
was morphine eater. but the testimony of
all these together would weigh little against
the afiGavits of her scaaolmates and
one Of her teachers as to her utter

No light from a source connected with the
Hawaiian Islands can be thrown from here upon
the news received from Honolulu yesterday
and made public today. Mr.. Carter, the last
remaining member Of the annexation commits

left the city last week to return home. Mr.

provisional government to the United States
has not bee Il in Washington for several weeks.
Whatever communications nave been re-
celved at the State Department from special
Commissioner Blount are kept a profound
secret. SO that Whatever news ne may nave to
impart will probably be old by the time the
communications are made public by request OF
Congress or otherwise.
Persons with whom Paul Neumann talked
while he was IN Washington recently as attor-
ney for Queen Liliuokalani. judging from his
statements then, are not satisfied by
the statement that he mas aban-
doned the queens cause. upon her
refusal to accept "A pension from the pro-
vlslonal governmel. relying instead upon the
hope that the United States will restore her
to her throne. Mr.. Neumann's position while
here was that the queen was entitled
to the use of the crown lands during
life Or the payment of a pension common
surate in some degree with the revenue
derived therefrom by the government.
Upon the subject of the restoration of the
monarchy he was emphatic. That will
never be-" ne said. lit is idle 20 talk
OF such an event. The people do not want or
ask for 1t and the United States will not be
party such a movement ana without the as
sistance OF the United states tine queen can

A COMPARISON MADE.
The Fourth-CIass Postmaster Records of
the Two Administrations.

AAc IOuTth-SIdsS postmaster records OF
the Two Administrations.
statement prepared from the records of the
Post Office Department shows that during the
hrst two months of the present administration
the total number of fourth-class postmas .ers
appointed was 1894, as against S. 1O4 made dur
ing the first two months of Mr. Harrison's ad-
ministration. The number of appointments
made during the last two months to fill
vacancies caused by designations and deaths
was 2,6S5, as against 1,60S made during the
corresponding period of the last administration.
The number of removals made during the last
two months is shown to have been only ]. 2O9,
while the number of removals made during the
first two months of the Harrison administration
reached 1886.
The excess of appointments four years ago
was therefore ,2l0 and the excess of removals
2,2o7, while the number of appointing nts made
or designations and deaths was 1.O77 more than
four years ago.
IN view of The maly Measurements which
have been made in the press concerning the
NUMBER and causes of changes beng made in
fourth-class post Offices the foregoing figures
are regarded as interesting.

THE LAW ABOUT

After recess. Mr.. Davis took up the issues to
be tried by the jury, and explained to them
that the law favored will between husband
and wife. A man had a right to ap-
peal to his wifes affection for him in asking
that she make a will in his favor, and if the
wife did make such will in answer to the hus-
bands appeals, tine law decided il to be
a good one. but if the husband placed his wife
under his complete dominion, controlling her
inclinations. and he obtained will from the
wife in his favor through such domination, the
law declared it bad.
Mr.. Davis then infinitely discussed the Incl
dents upon which he claimed was based the
contention Of the caveator. that Mr.. Oimstead
WAS a domineering. overbearing and tyrannical
husband. He referred to the majority Of them
as too absurd for serious consideration. The
caveatee. lie said, had brought the most reputa-
BILE people to prove that the married life of Mr.
and Mrs. Olmstead had always been a most
happy and contented one.
There was one TACT. said Mr. Davis, which he
was willing to place ageins. all else on the other
side, and thai was the statement which Mrs
Oimstead made to Hrs. Brown. that she in
tended to leave everything she mad to her hus-
band.
Hr. Davis then spoke of the alleged testa-
mentary incapacity OF Mrs. Oims:ead. and said
that there was nothing to sustain that claim.

Charges Against the President.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3L.-Counsel for
the Finance Company Of Philadelphia have
completed the series of charges made oy
the company against Wharton Barker. In
the proceeding the Finance Company ap-
pears as complainant and the defendants
are Wharton Barker and Abraham Barker,
trading as Barker Bros. & Co. The bill
recites in brief that Wharton Barker,
while acting as President of the Finance
Company between June Z, 1887, and NO
vem6er 20, 1890, caused the Finance Com
pany to buy large amount Of stock, max
ing representations in some instances that
be was entirely disinterested in the whole
transaction. The bill alleges, on the other
hand, that Mr.. Barker caused this stock TO
be unloaded on the Finance Company IN
his own interest and realized excessive
brokerage fees therefrom. The court is
asked to order an account Of these broker
age fees, which plaintiff alleges aggregated
large amount, the totals adding up to S4OO,
600 and upward. The court is asked to de-
cree that all profits which shall have been
ascertained TO be due shall be paid over
with interest to the company complainant.
