AsHEvILIE. n. c., March AT n recent
meeting Of the Board of School Commits
sioncrs it was decided that it will become
necessary to close the graded schools on
Marcn 25th, as the board is already in
debt to tho extent of several thousand
dollars. The estimated monthly expenses
are aDout $4,000. and to continue Thorn
open three months longer would too
largely increase the already floating debt.
There are about 500 pupils, of which l,150
are white and $50 co.ored, aud are taught
By 81 teachers. Unless some satisfactory
arrangement for continuing them can
shortly be formulated 1t is feared il Will
absolutely be necessary TO close. which Is
considered great calamity by the towns
people.

TIE NEW UNION STATION METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.


and better building at the corner OF
Twenty fourth and n streets.
The edilice was constructed in accord
ance with the specifications and has been
known ever since as Union or Union-Sta-
ton Methodist Episcopal church.
At the time Of its completion Union
Station was helargest and most attractive
Methodist house of worship in the city.
Even now it compares very favorably with
the other new and modern churches.
1T was dedicated In 1854 by Rev. ID. >.
Doggett, who afterward became bishop.
No Methodist congregation In Virginia has
shown more enterprise or grown moro
rapidly and substantially than this. The
church is not only large and influential in
itself, but 1t is doing an effective mission
work in the East End.
UNIoN-srATIoN's MANY PASTORS.
Probably nothing has done more to
bring about tire gratifying condition OF
affairs than have the consecrated efforts OF
those who have been the pastors of Union
Station. II is. therefore, appropriate that

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
England Trying to Create a Revulsion
of Feeling Against America.

England Trying to Create Revulsion
of Feeling Against America.
WASHIN GTON, Jan. 1.-The Washing
ton Post has commenced 70 agitate the
question of supremacy in the Hawaiian
Islands, alleging that England is deter
mined that the United States shall gain
no foothold there, not even to the extent
of acquiring a station for coaling pur-
poses. England is as mercenary and
grasping as ever, it is said, and is at
tempting to create a feeling OF revulsion
against the United States for the benefit
of her own tradesnen.
The Post quotes from a confidential re-
port made during the Cleveland admins
tration by Major-General Schofeld and
Colonel b. S. Alexander concerning their
special mission to and inspection of the
Hawaiian Islands. These distinguished
United States officers, acting upon con-
tidential instructions from the President
of the United States visited the Hawaiian
Islands and ascertained the defensive
capabilities of their different ports, ex-
anlined into their commercial facilities
and collectel all the information in their
power on other subjects in reference to
which the United States Government
ought to be informed in the event of a
war with powerful maritime nation.
InC SSIlGNs anu SlEI WHICH sur
rounded proceedings in the United States
Senate last year as to the proposition 10
appropriate SZ50,00O to lie expended I'M
der the direction of the President of the
United States toward the establishment
of a foreign naval station for the United
States IN Hawaii were due in part to the
fact that the Senate had before it the vari-
GUS secret and confidential matters relat-
ing to affairs in Hawaii which it was
deemed impolitic at the moment to dis
cuss in public session.
One of the documents was a confiden-
tial report made by General Schotieid and
Colonel Alexander, and there were SINH
lar reports of later date made to the Navy
Department by United States officers
relative to theinvestigations looking 70 the
selection OF suitable sites to be acquired
in Pearl River Harbor for the United
States naval station, aud the practicable
lty and cost of removing the coral reef at
the entrance of the harbor.
In compliance with their confidential
instructions General Schohed and COL
onel Alexander made lengthy report to
the Government at Washington. They
ascertained that Honolulu is the only
good commercial harbor on the whole
group of the Sandwich Islands. There
are many other so-called harbors or

Special to the REcoRD-UN1oN.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-The old year
was closed last night by unique and
terrible tragedy by which Sidney Mccoy,
young lawyer. aged 81, lost his life, and
Miss Grace King, aged 49, is in a pre-
carious condition. A party of friends
numbering about fifty assembled last
night at McCoy's house on Guerrero
street to watch the old year out and the
New Year in. The feature of the even
ing's entertainment was the production
OF short play written by Mccoy and
performed by amateurs. The plot was
the betrayal of band of Russian nihilists.
One Of their number the nihilists discover
to be traitor, and condemn her to death.
They decide by lot who shall perform the
execution, and the number fell to the
character portrayed by Mccoy.
Miss King played the part of the traitor.
She is given the choice of being killed or
stabbing herself, and chooses the latter
alternative. McCoy handed her a stout
dagger which had been in the family for
many years. In the play the girl, instead
OF killing herself, was to stab her exc
cutioner, and as she received the knife
Miss King leaned forward to touch Nc
Coy on the breast with the knife. At the
same instant Mccoy started toward the
girl, when she stumbled, and, falling
forward with the dagger in her hand,
drove it through McCoy's heart. Mccoy
showed wonderful vitality and presence
of mind. He walked into the next room
and asked for doctor and then fell dead
The girl knew there had been an acct
dent OF some kind, but did not know Nc
Coy was killed. She was taken home,
and afterwards. on the advice of friends,
gave herself up to the police. She was
taken to the city prison at o'clock in the
morning, and when she entered the
prison tainted, and has since remained
unconscious. This morning McCoy's two
brothers secured her release by giving a
$4,000 bond for her appearance The
girl was then taken home, and is in a
critical condition.
The accident is explained by the fact
that recently Miss King suffered from a
sprained ankle. She had been using
crutches to walk with, but had laid them
aside TO participate in the play. AS she
made motion to stab Mccoy she rested
her weight on her weak foot. 1t gave way,
and she fell forward

WASHINGTON, Jan. Surprise is ex-

the result of trials held at Victoria, B. c.,
OF sealing vessels seIzed in Behring Sea
during last season. From Geographic
dispatches it is learned that the British
schooners seized by American naval veg
sells and turned over TO the British Al
miral for trial have both been released.
No pretense was made That they had not
violated the DtOdHS etUcHtj, but various
excuses were advanced for their dis
charge. This is a repetition Of the ex-
perience of last year, and in marked con-
trast with the conduct OF the United States
authorities, as American vessels seized
for violating the Dt0dtS UlCeedi were
vigorously prosecuted in the United
States Court at Sitka.

that if Blaine lived the old year out and

be surprise to many who have the
means of knowing just how ill he has
been, and who also know how sick he is
to-day. SICK as Blaine is, he still exhibits
much of the wonderful will power and
nerve that has carried him through more
than one crisis. In these latter days he
exhibits less dependency over his
physical condition than which has
characterized him when he was much
stronger than to-day. There were times
when he discussed plans for the future.
especially those of a literary nature. 1t is
Understood that i'll case ne should not be
able TO carry out certain Of his literary
plans, he has arranged to have the papers
relating to public matters i'll his posses
sion edited ami published at the proper
time.

A BLOW Az CANADA.
Privileges Now Enjoyed by Her Raj
roads to Be Abolished

Privileges Now Enjoyed by Her Rail-
roads to Be Abolished.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The SUMS Wash
ington special says: 1t is said on trust
worthy authority that President Harri-
son, the Secretary OF the Treasury and the
Secretary of State have practically de-
termined to make the outgoing of the
Harrison administration notable by a
blow at Canada much more vital than the
recent order imposing tolls on Canadian
vessels passing through the Sault Sainte
Marie Canal, at the entrance of Lake
Superior.
The blow will come in the shape of a
Presidential proclamation curtailing or
abolishing the privilege now enjoyed by
the Canadian railroads of Transporting
merchandise in bond through the United
States free of duty, under a system very
advantageous to foreign roads at the ex-
pense of American companies.
The attorney of the Canadian Pacific
road is here in consultation with the Con-
greSsiOnal friends of the Canadian roads.
and there is evidence of genuine alarm in
the minds Of the friends of Canadian in
terests.
Senators Frye and Cullom are said to be
advising the President to take some radi-
cal step in this direction to bring Canada
to terms. CullOm has often expressed
the opinion that the Canadian roads are
constantly evading the interstate CON-
merce law to the disadvantage of Ameri-
can lines

CARLISLE ON SILVER.
He Favors the Repeating the sherman
Law.

He Favors the Repeating tho sherman
Law.
New YORK, Jan. LIT is generally be-
lieved by the friends of the incoming
Administration that when Mr.. Cleveland
dined on Friday night he had as his
guests in Senator Carlisle and Colonel La
mont two members of his Cabinet. Sena-
tor Carlisle was sent for by Mr.. Cleveland
in order that the President-elect could
talk with him about the Secretaryship of
the Treasury. The message of the Presi-
dent-elect was conveyed to the Kentucky
Senator by eX-Mayor Grace. Senator
Carlisle came to the city quietly, and in
stead of going to his tavorite hotel went
to Clevelands house and remained as the
Presldent-eIects guest until he took his
departure for Washington at $50 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
Senator Carlisle was asked what his
impressions were of the probable policy
of the party on the silver question, the
inquiry being prompted by the known
fact that he and Mr.. Cleveland had gone
over the matter several times.
Il do not care to discuss that subject at
any length now" said Senator Carlisle.
because l shall have something to say
on it during the session, and it is a mat
ter on which the Senate will take ac-
ton"
I'm what way do you think that action
will he taken?"
81 do not wish to answer that question
as you put it. There are three measures
pending in the Senate-the bill intro
duced by Senator Sherman last session to
repeal the Sherman Act of 1890. the bill
introduced by Senator Hill of New York
to do the same thing, and the resolution
introduced by Senator Mcpherson of
New Jersey authorizing the Secretary
OF the Treasury to suspend the pur-
chase of silver bullion for as long a
period as he might consider advisable.
L think the Democratic Senators will get
together very shortly and take some ac-
ton, and endeavor to get the question out
OF the hands of the committee and on to
the floor of the Senate, where it can be
debated and voted upon. | think this
will be done very slowly, and | feel that
before the Senate adjOGrns it will either
take action abolishing the purchase OF
silver altogether or suspending purchases
for time. Certainly some relief will be
afforded.
Il am in favor of absolutely repeating
the sherman law and not bringing into
+orce again the Bland law, which re-
quired the purchase of 5000, 600 of silver
month. In other words, am in favor
of wiping it out altogether. l believe the
country has had all the silver it can stand
or consume at present"
