The British flagship Victoria,
while maneuvering in the Mediter-
ranean sea, OF Tripoli, was run into
ny the battleship Camperdown and
sunk In . few minutes. Some 400
lives were lost, including Admiral
Tryon and . number OF officers.
The disaster occurred on Thursday,
June p.
The scene rs the doomed ship
went down is beyond description.
She plunged forward and down,
and the twin screws were elevated
high out Of the water. As the ship
sank those who were drawn into
the vortex were struck by the re-
screws, and then those
whose bodies had not been torn
and mangled by the blades found
themselves struggling for life in
boiling water-the boilers Of the
ressel exploded. Men turned faint
md sick with horror. This TRACE
" has not been equaled in fatal
'esults since the sinking Of the
Royal George in 1882, when 600
ives were lost.

Roger A. Pryor-the Pryor of the
Conference.-The jury at some re-
marks made by the court burst into
applause, which soon spread over
the entire room. The plaintiff in
suit, Mrs. Ellen Poll ock, is suing
her wealthy father-in-law for $50. 600
damages for alternating her hus-
bands affections The remarks by
the court were called forth by an at
tempt on the part of the attorney for
the defense to show that intimate
relations had existed between Mrs.
Pollock and her husband. Judge
Pryor said: "Whether the plaintiff
had relations with this man or not
previous to her marriage with him
IS immaterial, except, possibly, as
upon him q more holy OBJ
legation to adhere to her. II she
surrendered herself to him before
marriage, as . chivalric and an hon
st man, he is under more obligations

light excursions, musicals, ETC., by the
upper "four hundred" with an occa-

given by Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus Spalding

honor Of the formers birthday.
The Colonel said: "a year ago to-
day l celebrated my 5oth anniversary

IT is to be regretted that the snub
administered by President Cleveland to
Claus Spreckels should have caused
the ex-Sugar King to leave Washington
in hurry. We had counted upon a
longer stay of the aged coolie-drver in
the precincts Of the capital where, by
his assaults upon the Provisional Gov
eminent and its adherents, he was
doing the cause of annexation a vast
amount of good. 1t may be, however,
that we shall have some compensation
in the fact that Mr.. Spreckels will not
be able to keep still and that his mouth
and pen will continue to aid the popu-
lar movement here by keeping the
public mind alert as to the monopollstlc
greed and personal ignorance Of some
of those who are foremost champions
of the restorationist cause

TO IMPEACH CLEVELAND.
That Is What Senator Stewart Has Sci
Out to Do.

WASHINGTON, September 20. - A
resolution providing for the preparAti, n
of articles of impeachment OF Presi-
dent Cleveland WAS introduced in the
Senate to-day. 1t demands that the
President Of the United States be
arraigned in the Senate on Monday
next for violating the spirit Of the
constitution in endeavoring to destroy
the independence of the law-maklng
branch of the Government by seeking
to coerce Congress into the passage OF
the repeal bill. Notice to this effect
was cleary indicated in a resolution
presented this morning by Senator
Stewart of Nevada, upon which he
announced he would address the Sen
ate next Monday. The resolution de
clares the independence of the CO.
ordinate department of the Govern
ment; that their independence must
be maintained, and that use of power
and influence by one department to
control the action of another is a
violation of the constitution and the
destruction of our form Of government,
The introduction Of the resolution
created a great sensation, and the dis
cussion of the matter next Monday
will attract great attention, as 1t lndl'
Gates the intention of the silver Sen :
tors 10 divert discussion in the Senate
to other issues and prolong it and pre-
oipitate a discussion of the alleged
assumption of the President to control
Congress.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
johannesburg South Africa) Sentinel,
announces that the labor and profess
sional market in that booming land is
overstocked, and that no room remains
for any immigrants except female white
cooks. 1t is to be suspected that the
demand for the latter is as much
matrimonial as culinary, as there are
ten men to one woman in the home OF
beers and goldreefs. This, however.
will not be regarded as disadvantage
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-10-09

SENATOR STEWART has been driven
to dubious extreme when he brings
articles of impeachment against Presi.
dent Cleveland Even he cannot ex
pect them to prevail nor to drive the
President out of the straight path which
he has announced his purpose to pur
sue. The whole thing looks like BIZ
of theatrical by-play, intended for the
Nevada galleries, and quite unworth,
of the graybeard statesman who ha
taken the center of the silver stage.
