FALL OF A CHURCH FLOOR.
Number of Persons Injured in Panic a
Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., April 2S.-A sudden
and serious interruption terminated the
cornerstone laying services at the Clark
Avenue Baptist Church late yesterday
afternoon. About $50 people were pre-
cipitatedinto the basement, distance OF
twelve feet, by the floor giving away,
and a scene Of the widest confusion
followed. Men, women and children
were piled in a promiscuous heap and
in their struggles succeeded in
bruising a great many others who
otherwise would have escaped with a bad
fright. Only few, however, received
injuries that were really serious. Fol
lowing are the injured: Mr.. Seither,
severe injury to spine; Mrs. Gordon,
broken ankle and otherwise painfully
bruised Mrs. Frederick H. Ellenberger,
ankle broken; Mrs. Shaw, numerous
painful bruises and leg broken.

Mountain, Tenn, of typhoid fever. The
remains have been shipped to Marinette
for burial.
PILES of charred embers mixed indis-
criminately with fallen bricks and burned
beams and woodwork are all that remain
of the large dry goods stock of Edward
Schuster & Co., while the store that the
firm occupied, at 6S1, 6S3, 6S5 and 6S7 Third
Street, Milwaukee, is an almost complete
ruin, although the southern half Of the
building Is still standing. A conservative
estimate OF the loss places it at nearly
800, 900, while the insurance is probably
about 500 00 How the fire started is still
a mystery, although the present indications
are that it was not the work of an incen-
diary,

Two Negroes Hanged,

DENHAM, Tex, April 28.-Jim Burke
and Sam Massey, negroes, were hanged
here at 2 O'Clock to-day in the presence
of 10000 people of all colors,
sizes and sexes. Burke's crime
was outraging Mrs. Clements, white
women, aged 81 near Ambia. He was
arrested and barely escaped lynching
by a mob. Massey was hanged for
making a murderous assault on the
Smith family near Sherman.

English Naval Estimates.

The English naval estimates for
this year show that while Mr.. Glad
stone counts as a man of peace, he
will spend as much money as his
predecessor in preparation for war.
Between him and Lord Salisbury
there's just a difference of $500!
Besides battle-ships and cruisers,
the new programme includes four
teen torpedo-boat destroyers, which
are to be guaranteed speed of
twenty-seven knots per hour, or
over thirty-one land miles. These
are doubtless vessels of considera-
BILE size, capable of going to sea,
but how they would behave in a
seaway, with the engines working
at this speed, is a bit Of navigation
to be solved. A lesson in the art
of making armor plates has been
taken from the United States. Nick
ell steel is being used. The heaviest
battle-ships, of the tonnage of the
Royal Sovereign, are to be relieved
of such monsters as 110-ton guns,
and are not even to carry the 67-ton
guns. Breech leaders of about so
tons, with a Pinch bore, are
deemed sufficient, and they are to
be mounted in some improved man
ner by which the freezing of the
hydraulic apparatus will be avoid
ed. The new guns on emergency
can be worked by hand.-[S. F.

THE arrival by the Rush of ex-
Congressman James III. Blount,
who has been sent as special
Commissioner to inquire into the
situation, will occasion no solicit
tude to the friends of good and
progressive government in these
islands. If Mr.. Cleveland has sent
Mr.. Blount here after the full in
formation which had already been
laid before the State Department at
Washington, it can only be because
he is determined to act in an enter
prise of such pith and moment only
after the fullest survey Of the field.
The friends of annexation are not
afraid of investigation. On the con-
trary, they rely on it, and the more
of it the better. The facts show
that annexation is in the line of
moral and industrial progress in
this country, that it will advance
every legitimate interest and that
it is wanted by every legitimate
interest. It's adherents count an
overwhelming majority of the for
eign community, and they are
growing daily more numerous
among both whites and natives. A
snap investigation can hardly
make royalists, a full one is GER
tain to make annexationists. Mr..
Blount has long and honorable
record in Congress, and a man of
his character and shrewdness is
not likely to miss the meaning of
the situation.

A MISSING ISLAND.
Eneulfed in the Mighty Waters
of the Southern Pacific.

Expedition Island is no more.
Your map shows it lying on the
northwest coast of Australia, about
% miles from the mainland. When
it hourished in all it's glory, as it
has since time out of memory, it
was beautiful tract Of land, Is
miles long and one and a half to
two miles broad.
A vessel was sailing in those
parts quite recently when the
officers remarked the absence of
the island. The captain ordered
that soundings be made. All
around thousands of feet of water
was found.
Finally, upon observing that
there were no signs of breakers on
the former site of the island, he
ordered that they sail directly
across where the island had form,
| erly been. Soundings were again
taken, which resulted in finding
that the island had only sunk to a
depth of As feet below the surface
1t was one of the largest islands on
the Australian coast, and its sud.
den subsistence is mystery.-[St

AN OUTRAGE.

There is a scurrilous journal
published in Honolulu called the
Holomua. 1t is not newspaper
for it does not publish any news,
nor pretend to. 1t is simply
campaign sheet, continued after
the campaign is over for the pur-
pose of relieving its editors of their
supertiuous spleen. We refer to it
now, not because it is worthy of
notice or because its libellous
statements need any refutation,
but simply to draw the attention
of the Provisional Government to
its infamous attacks upon the per-
son and character of the American
Minister Plenipotentiary, His Ex-
cellency John L. Stevens.
The license of the press permits
irresponsible editors to indulge in
every species of insult and cal
jimmy, and leaves the individual
to seek the ordinary remedy at
law. There is, however, at least
one notable exception to this rule,
and that is one which protects the
representatives of foreign powers
from foul attacks. It is a violation
of every principle of courtesy, and
every rule of international law, to
allow them. They constitute an
international grievance and entitle
the nation whose representative
has been insulted to the fullest re-
dress. In this instance the of
Tense is doubly an outrage, because
it is totally unprovoked, and be-
cause the gentleman whose charac-
ter is thus sought to be besmirched
is of unblemished reputation, and
Justly entitled to the universal es-
TEEN which he enjoys.
1t is only with the greatest re-
luctance that we make any refer
ence whatever to mongrel sheet
like the Holomua, which represents
neither capital, nor character, no,
standing, and is edited by a brace
OF anonymous rascals who dare
not avow their identity in print
1t is plain duty, however, to cal
the attention of the Government
TO this matter. The nuisance i.
one which should be abated a
once by landing the offenders il

AN EX-QUEEN'S ALLOWANCE.

The continued payment by the
Government to Liliuokalani Of an
amount equal to her former salary
has been made the subject of much
comment. most Of which has been
adverse. The payment is not a
salary, for the simple reason that
there is no sovereign to be salaried.
The monarchy is dead, and moth
ing can ever revive it. Whatever
comes, this country is done with
Kings and Queens. The Provisional
Government has simply made the
ex-Queen a temporary allowance,
deeming that, under the circum-
stances, to be at once the most just
and the most polite course.
We are not of those who think
that Mrs. Dominis should at once
have been cut off with a penny.
The United States Government,
in case of annexation, will
probably think it proper to
make some provision for her !;
and if it does so, very few will be
SO disposed to grudge the appro-
priation. 1t is very significant, how
ever that the treaty lately sent to
the Senate provides for the payment
of an allowance to the late Queen,
providing she in good faith sub
mits to the authority of the Gov
eminent of the United States and
the local government of the ISL
ands." If this was good rule for
the United States Government to
adopt, why is it not good rule for
the Provisional Government to
adopt I? If the taxpayers are to be
mulcted in order to enable a former
sovereign to draw $3.50 a month,
in addition to a handsome revenue
from private property, they are at
least entitled to guarantee that
she viii use that money for legiti-
mate purposes, and not devote
any part of it to an attempt to
destroy the government from
which she derives her subsistence,
by attacking its authority, mis-
representing its acts and Witty
ing its supporters. Yet this is
exactly what paper is doing
which is nominally owned by an
individual called Heleluhi-a man
of no property and creature Of
the ex-Queen's. Who makes up
the large weekly deficit? 1t looks;
to unprejudiced persons, very much
as though the taxpayers were fur
nishing the sinews of war. Will it
not be time enough to pay the ex.
Queen $3.50 a month when she
agrees in good faith to submit to
the local government of the islands

Sons are known to have been drowned.
In several cases boats were capsized
and narrow escapes from drowning
were had. BY the capsizing of the

into the water and four of them were
drowned. Their bodies were not re-
