The accommodation train left this city
a few minutes ahead of the limited, and
stopped at Seventy first street. The linn

of twenty miles an hour. A heavy fog
had settled over the city, and it was al
most impossible to discern the signal
lights. The engine of the limited plowed
its way into the rear coach of the accom-

CHICO, Nov. S.-An enthusiastic meet
ing of citizens was held last night 10 dis

The meeting indorsed General j. w. B.

The Talk of Restoring the Queen to
the Throne Ridiculed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The sensational
dispatch published yesterday afternoon
and this morning. to the effect that Lili-
uokalani was TO be restored to the throne
of Hawaii by the United States Govern
ment, brought flood of inquiries to the
State Department. Officials of this de-
partment ridiculed the proposition, which
is regarded by them as absurd. This is
the nearest TO any statement that has been
obtained from any one in official capacity
connected with the State Department in
regard to the Hawaiian matter.
An interesting fact has been developed
bearing on the Hawaiian annexation
question in the records of the Navy De-
partment. Brooks or Midway Islands,
which arc considered part of the
Hawaiian group, were on August IS,
1867, formally taken possession OF by Cap
tain William Reynolds, commanding the
United States steamship Lackawanna, on
behalf of the United States. The islands
had previously been discovered July
3, 1859, by Captain \. G. Brooks
of the Hawaiian bark Cambria, who
formally took possession of them in the
name of the Hawaiian Government.

dealer (Dem.) says: By majority GER
talnly large enough for all practical
purposes, Mckinley succeeds himself as
Governor of Ohio. To those closely in
touch with the events in the Ohio cam
palgn this is not a surprise. While the
vote given Mckinley by no means indi-
Gates either personal or party strength in
more stirring political times TO come, it
is patent that Ohio has just been the field
OF a preliminary presidential skirmish
plan TO that effect long mapped out and
circumstances conspired to render it ap-
parently successful.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The EUening iSltg
(Dem.) says: The defeat Of the Demo-
cratic party throughout the country must
be assumed to be due to Democratic
defections rather than TO Republican
gains. While the elections turned upon
national issues, yet the people voted
heretofore to reform unconstitutional
tariff in the interests of those who wished
to reform it in the direction OF tariff for
revenue only.
DENVER Coll, Nov. 8.-The Repu6-
licdB (Republican) says: The sweeping
victories achieved by the Republican
party yesterday can only be construed as
an overwhelming popular condemnation
of the administration OF President Cleye-
land and its policies regarding the tariff,
finance and other mOmentous public
questions. 1t is difficult TO say what
figure the silver question cut in the cleo
tlOns.
The NelcS (Populist) says: The people
rebelled against Cleveland's despotsm,
his submission to British domination in
American finances, his disregard OF the
people and their interests and his COM
plete surrender TO the mOneyed classes.
The tendency should be to make the
Southern Democrats more determined
for free coinage and bring about the al
lance between that section and the West,
which mutual interests wOdld seem to
make inevitable. The work of the
Peoples party has just commenced.
NEW YORK, Nov. Sin regard to yes
terday's election, the EUeniag Wor{d
says: In Brooklyn, as in the State, the
result has not been a Democratic defeat
and Republican victory. New York is
still Democratic and brooklyn is still
Democratic. In the State and sister city
the victory was won by honest and sim
cere Democrats over those who injured
the party by Objectionable methods and
bad nominations. The Democracy will
be all the stronger in the future from the
publication it received.

Measure to Put q Duty of One Dollar
Per Box on Oranges and Lemons.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Importers and
dealers in foreign fruits are exercised
over the report that bill will be intro
duced by Geary to put duty on lemons
and oranges of 81 per box. The Chamber
of Commerce of Italy sent a petition pro-
testing against the increase of the duty
on oranges and lemons, and advocating
d ecrease of the duties. President Con-
tensin of the Fruit Importers Union and
a leading importer said to-day; 'tThe bill
will do us lot of harm, and will not
benefit the growers of fruit in California,
because foreign fruit does not begin to
come into this market until California
stocks are cleared up. 1t is preposterous
to put duty on oranges because the do
mestic stock is more than sufficient to
supply the consumption in the country.
The bill, as it stands, will deprive the
importing classes oforanges and lemons"
A meeting of importers and dealers of
foreign fruits will be held soon to protest
against the Geary bill.

NEBRASKA,


OMAHA, Nov. 8.-Indications tonight
are that Harrison (Rep.), for Supreme
Judge will carry the State by from 1000
to 5000 plurality over Holcomb (Pop.).
Only about half the State has been heard
from. Returns show heavy falling. off
in the vote, probably 10 per cent. Repub-
ican, 10 per cent. Democratic and per
cent. Populist. Five per cent. of the Re-
publicans went to the Populist candi-
date for Supreme Judge and probably 10
per cent. of the Democrats. In spite of
this the Populist vote shows a decrease,
and it is taken as a good evidence that
the party in Nebraska is on the decline.
Twenty-four counties out of ninety in
the State show Harrison (Rep.), 1S,650

SEATTLE, Nov. S.-The heavy warm
rains of the past few days has swollen all
the rivers and the warm wind has melted
the snow and brought it down to add to
the deluge, so that considerable damage
has already been done to railroads and
traffic has been delayed on seve raj lines.
Cedar River is within two feet OF high
water mark of last years great flood.
The lowlands along the Snohomlsh River
are inundated, and the raging Stillagua-
mish has risen in its narrow gorge and
done considerable damage to the Everett

Northern train, which should have ar
rived last night, came in this morning,
nineteen hours late. Great precautions
were taken, as the track had been weak

steadily and serious damage is feared
throughout the Puget Sound basin.
PORTLAND, Nov. S.-A heavy wind and

Los ANGELES, Nov. S.-Maior II. II.
Hassack, resident of Wheeling, w. Va,
committed suicide to-day, by shooting
himself in the temple with small re-
volver borrowed from boy. The deed
was committed in room over Sharp's
undertaking rooms. He has been in Los
Angeles but q short time, and was en-
deavoring to work UP a stock company
for the sale of the "World's Fair Photo
graphed." He left several letters to his
wife in Wheeling. In one of the letters
he said dependency was the cause. He
also prayed that the Republicans would
be successful all over the country The
letter winds up by stating that he had
changed his mind about committing the
deed upon church's steps. He says it
would be shameful, and so he concluded
to get room over an undertaking estab-
lishment. He said he would be willing
to leave this life if he could only demol-
ish one enemy before he called "taps."
Hassack was evidently a soldier, and
was very courtly in his bearing.

Hay Il Co. of Toronto, and was
bound for Franks Bay, with supplies for
lumbermen. She caught fire about three
miles from Goose Island, and a panic
must have ensued, as only seven lives
were saved out of twenty y-eight. The fire

EVIL SPEAKING.

1t is not the province of news
paper to be public scavenger Of un-
savory records. Whatever is popular
deserves attention. The public, the
intelligent reading public-as a mass are
not of the pessimistic sort, and vastly
prefer the goodly reports of the world
than the chapters of horrors. Iti best
to speak we'll of fellow traveller when
we can and if we have no good thing to
say silence is better than calumny.
Only when the public safety demands
it, or when worthy purpose can be
served by giving publicity to rumor
affecting the private character of
fellow citizen, or when mistakes or mis-
steps become habitual and silence gives
a certain upholding of the wrong, is it
a newspapers province to give publicity
to our neighbors misdeeds. Crimes
that rouse the public mind to a keen
sense of the needs of justice look to the
press for agitation. All that pertains to
the public veal belongs without question
to the newspapers work, and he is wise
who goes not beyond the limitations of
personal right.
