The kinau steamed down the
harbor yesterday morning, looking
very gay with al her bunting out
in honor OF the presence of Preei-
dent Dole, who returned by her
from his trip to Hawaii.
The president was looking and
feeling well, much more so than
when he left here some time ago in
search of health.
Mr.. Dole was met on the wharf
by Major Potter, who had a large
open carriage, drawn by white
horses, to escort the president home,
also by the attorney general, the
minister of the interior, and other
officials, besides detachments of the
police and military.
AS soon as the steamer tied up,
the party boarded her and extend
ed a warm welcome to their re-
turned chief. After talking for a
few minutes, the president went to
the carriage and was driven to his
home.
Thursday afternoon a party of
thirteen including most of the
presidents party, went up Mauna
Kea to an elevation of 900 feet,
where they camped over night
Early Saturday morning they re-
sumed the ascent and reached the
top of the mountain about noon.
They visited Waiau, and the stone
axe and adze quarries of the
ancient Hawaiians. The weather
was clear and cold but no snow
and but little ice was found.
When the campers returned to
Umikoa the president and his
party went down to Waimea and
were entertained by Mr.. Paul
Jarrett. On Saturday they all
went to Puuhue and passed a
quiet Sunday.
After leaving the Hitchcock s
camp, where he was at the time
our last letter was received from
Hawaii, the president went to Mr.
J. M. Horner's mountain ranch
Umikoa, with his party, and was
elegantly entertained over night
The next day he went down to the
plantation house Of the Horner's
returning the next morning tc
Umikoa.
Monday morning the president
was much interested in the eclipse
and watched it to the end, after
which, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs
E. P. Low, he went to Kohala and
returned several calls. The people
of the district were most consider
ate Of the president, aud, knowing
that he had come to Hawaii for bis
health alone, they did not try t.
embarrass him with social duties
only few making personal calls
But almost every one sent messages
of good will and greeting to him.
Tuesday morning the party went
down to Mahukona, where they
found the town and shipping deco.
rated with flags and bunting. The
steamer left at II O'Clock sharp
and as she passed out the three
steam whistles in Mahukona
shrieked out an aloha and the ships
dipped their flags. The trip tc
Honolulu was uneventful, but q
very pleasant one to all on board

The Ten Per Cent. Tax on Circulation

The Ten Per Cent. Tax on Circulation
May Not be Repealed.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. s.
The subcommittee on banking and
currency upon the repeal Of the ten
per cent. tax of state bank circula-
ton will report this morning to the
full committee bill which will
repeal the tax. The full committee
will not act on the measure imme-
diately, but in time will report the
bill to the house. Representative
Sperry, who is opposed to the repeal,
told member of the
committee who favors the
repeal, if the repealers vote
for the resolution calling for in
formation regarding former state
banks and get this information be-
fore the house, he, although
against the repeal bill, would vote
to bring it before the house. The
men who are opposing the repeal
claim if they secure information
regarding the state banks collected
by the treasury department before
the house they can easily defeat the
measure.

DEALING IN FUTURES.
The Condition of the Cotton Market Being
Investigated by a Senate SUBJ
Committee.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Dec. s.
Senator Bate, Of Tennessee, arrived
in the city from New Orleans,
where he and Senator George have
been acting as a subcommittee of
the senate committee on agriculture,
in the investigation of the present
condition Of the market for cotton.
Speaking of their work to-day Mr..
Bate said the committee had sue.
ceeded to great extent in getting
at the history and modus opeyaqdi of
the dealers in cotton futures, and
that the investigations developed
some remarkable facts, ex-
tending back to 1872, at
which time the dealing in cotton
futures was inaugurated in New
York and New Orleans, which will
be brought to light when the com
mittee's report is presented or in
discussions in the senate. They
ascertained, for instance, that 52,-
600, 600 bales of cotton were dealt in
during the cotton season last
year on the New York ExchaL ge
and 16, 100000 bales on the New
Orleans Exchange under contract
when there were only seven and
three-quarters million bales of
cotton grown in the entire
country and only 419, 900 bales
shipped to New York. 1t is the
general opinion of the Witnesses
examined that dealings in futures
have caused the greater fuctuation
in the prices of cotton, but as to the
ultimate effects Of this method opin.
ions are varied according to the in
formation and prediction of the
witness.

TWO OYS HANGED.
WITH TWO OTHER COMPANIONS THEY
COMMITTED A MURDER.
FLAsHY LITERATURE
Had Caused Them TO Follow the Foot
steps of Sam Bass and Other
Outlaws.

DANvmLE, Ills, Dec. 9.-The
crime for which Pate and Stires
were executed so-day was commit
ted August 25, 1893. Four young
men, Harvey Pate, aged 81, Frank
Stires, 19, Elias McJunken, IS, and
Charles Smoot, IL, were great read
ers Of fashy literature, and
Pate had 1 served two years
among the cowboys of Texas.
The four conceived the idea of
holding up Henry Helmick, a
wealthy farmer. The boys walked
twelve miles from the city and way
laid Helmick and his wife, who were
in buggy. Helmick struck his
horses when the demand for money
was made. and Pate shot him dead.
Young Harris confessed his COM
plicity 10 the deed and, upon arraign-
ment, all four pleaded guilty.
Pate and Stires were sentenced to
hang, and McJunken and Harris
to the penitentiary for life. The
crime was committed on Friday
On Sunday following Smoot con-
fessed, and Monday indignant neigh
bors of the murdered man made an
unorganized attempt to take the pris-
oners from Jail. The mob dispersed,
but afterwards organized 400 strong
to take revenge should the sentence
be less than hanging. They were
satisfied with the result of the trial.
To-day's execution is the first in the
history of this county.

SENATOR HILLS BILL.
Senator Hoar Objects 10 the Methods by
Which the Report Upon II Was
Secured by the Judi
ciary Com
mittee.
The Democratic Members Defend Their
Report on the Bin for the Repeal
of the Federal Election
Law.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. H.
While they are not making the
charges in so many words some Of
the Republican senator's intimate
strongly that the report made by
the senate Judiciary committee upon
Senator Hills bill for the repeal of
the federal election laws, was
secured by methods not entirely
to their liking. Senator Hoar, who
is member of both commit
tees on Judiciary and on
privileges and elections, and who
under the Republican regime, was
chairman first of the elections COM
mittee and then Of the judiciary,
contends that the bill should have
been referred originally to the first
named committee, and fail
ing primarily to secure
such reference it should
have it now despite the report of the
judiciary committee He and Sem
ator Platte, who is also member of
the judiciary committee, complains
that the bill has never had due consid-
Grafton in that committee, the meet
ing which authorized favorable re-
port upon the bill being attended by
only one of the FIVE Republican
members of the committee, Senators
Hoar, VIM. Wilson, Platt and
Mitchell, of Oregon. being absent.
They claim that it these members
had been present when the bill was
taken up by the committee the sub
iect would have had fuller consider
alton, and there would have
been at least a minority
protest against it, and an effort at
that time to have the bill referred to
the committee on elections. Sena-
tor Hoar contends that all questions
relating to elections of the character
which come before the senate be-
long properly TO the committee on
privileges and elections, and when
Senator Hill asserted that the
original election laws which
it now sought to repeal passed the
bill and referred it to the Judiciary
committee Senator Hoar retorted
that it was because the elections
com mittee had not then been created.
Senator Hill, author of the present
bill, is member Of the Judiciary
committee, ard not of elections,
which may account for his desire
originall- /, have tne oil, go teAthat
commit reported II from
the The report was
made earl, the .e3iga ses-
siou nlaa' and pi' It ass~>shat tine was
supposed that one objecfsa permit
ting the report to be made thas ame
was that it might be taken up IN
the place of the silver repeal
bill if the senate should
be found in the humor
to make the substitution. The
Democratic members of the Judiciary
committee say that if the Repubs-
lican members of the committee
were not present when the bill was
under consideration it is their fault,
and they consider this an invalid ex-
cuse for criticising the action of the
committee.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
Count Rofignae is a member of
the French nobility. He has been
in active business for some time
past, and has fine business abil-
ity. He spends nearly all his time
in this country, making New York
city his actual home. Mr.. T..
j. Fielder, who is with
him, is we'll known in the
commercial circles of New York.
These gentlemen represent Austin
Corbin & Co., of New York, as well
as individual interests in the matter
Of the proposition.
The manner in which the New
York people and European capital
lists acquired possession Of the Chisot
county lands is ofinterest. In 1892
or thereabouts Col. j. G. Calhoun,
of Georgia, who, at the time, was
real or partial owner of the lands,
organized stock company
with capital stock of
$3.50, 900. The land on
which the stock was issued EN-.
braced 1000 acres, the tract included
in the proposition made the board
of penitentiary commissioners being
part Of it. The stock was sold all
over this country and in Europe.
Corbin & Co. bought big blocks of
it, so, too, did capitalists in AM
sterdam, Paris, LonGon and other
parts of Europe. a good deal Of
the stock was sold for eighty cents
on the dollar.
Col. Calhoun was made manager
and general director of the planta
tion at a salary of $500 per year.
Farming was carried on very ex-
tensively. About 400 workmen
were employed. A supply store,
carrying big stock Of goods was
established; and in fact business
was run on high scale. 1t is stated
that for time the company paid a
dividend Of s per cent. on the capi-
tai stock. Then with the decline in
prices, the company also
suffered, and its affairs almost went
to pieces.
Corbin & Go. brought suit in the
federal court here against Calhoun,
and, as result, he resigned his
position, and another manager was
elected. Owing to the low price Of
cotton the company continued to
lose money, and Corbin & Co. alb
sorbed or bought the stock, and now
own the controlling interest in the
company. 1t is through them that
the proposition to work the planta-
ton, or 1000 acres of it, with con-
vict labor, and share the proceeds
with the state, is made.
