TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
From Honolulu.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Dec. s.
The barkentine Klickitat arrived here
yesterday from Honolulu with advices
to November 20. Minister Willis is re-
ported to have said that no change in
the present situation will take place
for several weeks: that he broug ht wit l
him certain instructions from the q. S.
government on the Hawaiian situation,
but since his arrival contingencies have
arisen, about which neither the q. S.
government nor himself were aware
when he left Washington. II have
thought he said, "best TO submit these
matters to Washington before proceed
ing further to carry out my original in
struction. No one need fear trouble
and no lawlessness will be permitted. !"
This statement gave the annexationists
much satisfaction and the royalists were
much displeased On account of the
many rumors current of the contem-
plated action of the Queens supporters
the provisional government found it
necessary to keep two companies of SOL
diers under arms for several nights
after the Alameda sailed. Continuing,
Minister Willis said: 1.-THE whole
Hawaiian question is now in allegiance
and nothing that newspapers can say
or do will alter the statement one iota."
After this statement rumors began to fly
about that the Queens supporters would
make final rally in her behalf, and
the crews of the Unite Estates men-of-
war Philadelphia and Adams were held
in readiness to be landed at moments
notice. The Queens advocate came
out next day with denial of Willis's
interview, saying he was misquoted
and by inference gave encouragement
to the idea that Willis had or would re-
ceive an imperative order to restore
the Queen. The newspapers contain
ing Blount's report had not reached the
Island when the Klickit at sail.

MOTHER OF SIXTEEN AT THIRTY
Two.-A remarkable case of maternity
was developed in Memphis few days
ago, when an application was made by
Sarah Patty to act as guardian of the
minor heirs of Maggie James, deceased.
All the parties are colored, and inter-
est attaches to the proceedings from the
fact that the deceased left ten children
living and was the mother of six who
are dead, dying herself at the age of 80,
few days ago, after giving birth to an
infant now one week old. E. R. Bell,
colored lawyer, presented the petit
ton, and, when questioned as to the
truth of the statements in it, said they
were correct. The deceased had been
married at the age of 16, and had given
birth to child every year since, never
having borne twins. Her first husband
died and she at once married again.

The Trial of Il Baron.

The trial began yesterday, in the
Assize Court at ont-Farrand, De-
partment of Puy-de-Dome, France, of
Baron Oscar de Rahden, a Russian, on
the charge of murder. The victim was
Lieut.. Castenschoild, an officer of the
Danish army.
During performance of the Pieran-
toni Circus in Clermont one evening
last August the baron met the lieuten-
ant in the lobby. The two men had an
alteration, which ended in the baron.
crazed by anger, drawing revolver
from his pocket and firing into his ad-
versary's body four, bullets, one Of
which lodged in the abdomen. Caster
schoild was hurried to the hospital,
where he died the next day.
Baron de Rahden was born in Ravel,
province of Esthoma, Russia, thirty
two years ago. He is the son of a
former governor of Courland, and was
once lieutenant of Cossacks, but was
placed on the retired list after duel
which cost his adversary's life.
Three years ago the baron fell madly
in love at Copenhagen with circus
rider-Eugenie Weiss, the daughter Of
Breslau banker-and married her.
Among her numerous admirers
was young lieutenant of the
Danish infantry-Castenschiold-wh
paid such ardent court that the Baron
took him to task for it. The men had
violent quarrel, followed by a duel,
in which the Baron received master
ly.dealt sword stroke on the head.
After recovering from his wound,
Baron de Rahden continued to live
with his wife, though cherishing fierce
hatred of his enemy. Finally the
couple left Copenhagen for France
then went to Portugal and Spain.
AT Barcelona one day the Baron en-
countered the Lieutenant, who from
that time persistently followed the
Baroness. After various journeys Cas-
tenschiold arrived at the same time she
did in Clermont, where he did not hes
itate to engage himself as rider in the
Pierantoni Circus. He was to have
made his debut the day after he was
shot.
The Baroness is twenty-eight years
old, tall, slender, very fair, has superb,
liquid eyes and stately carriage. AT
ter Castenschiold's death she refused 10
reappear in public, and it required all
the persuasion of the managers to in
duce her to reconsider her determine
ton. She was performing in Paris a
few days ago.
Many letters from the Baroness were
found in Castenschiold's room at Cler-
mont. They were written in very
tender style, but nothing in them
proves any improper relations.

Danse du Vcntre Given.

The usual performance of the Danse
du Ventre was given at New York
yesterday afternoon at the Grand
Central Palace. A tremendous crowd
was present to see it. Am ong them
were Captain Berghold and two detec-
tive, who paid for their seats and enter
ed the theatre. The performance be-
gan as usual. 1t was only when the
three girl dancers had each done their
turn that Capital n Berghold stool up
and declared the performance ended.
The girls smiled at each other, and the
audience taking it very quietly, left the
theatre. Captain Berghold then plac-
ed the girls under arrest, and with the
two detectives they were taken in car
riages to the Yorkville station. One Of
the girls gave her name as Fatima Mrs
jish, twenty-five, married, living on
Lexington avenue, but at what num-
Der she could not state. The other
girls names are Zelich and Zera lie
man, eighteen and seventeen years re-
spectively, both single, living at LA
east Forty second street.
They are accused of disorderly con-
duct. The girls were arraigned on
charge of giving an exhibition against
public decency, in violation of the pen
al code.
Abe Hummel, who defended the dan
GERS, said "The same exhibition was
given without interruption for three
months under the sanction of the
United States government at Chicago.
1t is late day to say the show is i'm
moral. The exhibition is a true rep
resentation of the Oriental dance, moth
ing more or less" He then waived
examination, and the girls were releas-
ed on 5000 bail for trial in special ses.
sion on Wednesday. Meantime the
show will 60 on, pending the trial.
The controversy between the police
officials and the theatre people as to
the morality and the decency of the
danse du ventre promises to end in a
decision in favor of the police. This
dance has been stopped there before,
and it is not believed that it will be
permitted elsewhere in the State than
along the gut in Coney Island. The
first attempt to introduce in New York
the dance which caused so much wrang
ling in Chicago was made in ten-cent
museum on the west side, where the
audiences are composed largely of
women and children. 1t was decided
modification of the dance seen in sew
eral theaters on the Midway in Chi
cago. but the police quickly put stop
to it.
The dance give in the Grand Central
Palace was pretty accurate represen-
tation of that given in Chicago. In the
opinion of everybody, except those con-
nected in some way with the manage
ment of the exposition, the show was
voted disgusting. There was nothing
artistic in it, and the few women who
through misrepresentation of some
sort got into the room, soon left it in
disgust. Inspector Williams said yester-
day that he had travelled all over the
world, and yet had failed to find
dance that was worse or more immoral.

NEARLY all the democrats are poor
people; therefore few of them ale
pleased with the Presidents failure to
recommend the laying of tax on in
dividual incomes. Taxing the incomes
of corporations is taxing the poor, for
nothing will be easier or more natural
for corporations than the transfer OF
such tax to the public, which is most
" composed of poor people. A tax on
individual incomes, however, is not so
easily transferred.

TUESDAY EVENING. DEC. 5, 1893.

SOME OF those who oppose tax on
individual incomes assign as their rea-
sons for doing so that such tex is IN
compatible with free institutions and
that those who would willingly submit
to it are more fit for citizenship under a
monarchcial government than one OF
free institutions, and that it is sugges-
tive of tyranny and the Inquisition."
Why certainly. But how twisted those
referred to do get things! According
to the present system of raising revenue,
the poor, who constitute at least
nine-tenths ofthe country's population,
paw nearly the whole expense OF the
government, in taxes on the necessarles
of life. A tax on individual incomes
would make the rich, for the protection
of whose property the governments ex-
penses are incurred, pay share OF
those expenses. How it would be I'M
American TO make them do so, can not
be easily explained.
