city on foot yesterday afternoon, having
failed in two attempts to force freight
trains to take them to Barstow, pro-
ceeded to Cajon station. about eighteen
miles from this city. where they again
took possession of the first passing
freight train. The trainmen refused to
carry them and the train was compelled
to stand on the side track all night.
This morning Railroad Detective Burns,
Sheriff Booth and deputies and con-
stables proceeded to Cajon and arrested
thirty of the men and brought th9m
into the city. Warrants were served
on them charging them with misde-
meanor by riding on the railroad and
attempting to fraudulently evade the
payment of fare uuder section of the
statutes of 1870.
These men left Los Angeles three
days ago in an organized body upon re-
presentation that work could be had on

agent OF the contractors of that road
wrote letter to D. R. Mcdonald, of

SPLIT WIDE OPEN.
A New PopuIist Party to be Formed
in Kansas.

A New PopuIist Party to be Formed
in Kansas.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. PA secret
meeting of Kansas Populists was held
tonight in this city. 1t is learned from
authentic sources that an action which
will probably result in a split of the
party in Kansas, was decided upon. 1t
is said that among those present today
were Jerry Simpson and sixty others,
all high in Populist circles.
From authentic sources it is learned
the meeting denounced In most unqual-
ified terms the Kansas administration
of Populists as rotten, entirely incom-
petent and silly. They then renounced
all principles as put forth by Populists
up to date and declared for a new party,
and from now on they will put forth
every effort to obtain the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, leaving other
planks of the former party to be taken
care OF as they may be.

A THEATER FIRE.
One Man Known to Have Burned to
Death.

Death.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 24.-About s
O'Clock this evening as the orchestra
was playing the opening overture at
the Henrietta theater for an opening
play by the Felix Morris company, the
manager announced fire in the rear
and requested the audience to quietly
retire. All passed out in order. The
fire originated in the auditorium and
communicated to the theater proper.
Within two hours whole quarter of
block was burned entailing loss esti-
mated from 100000 to 100000. The
building is total loss, estimated at
100000. 1t was owned by II. T. Crit
tenden, who did not carry more than
$50, 900 insurance. The Hotel Critten.
den company lose 100000 in furniture
alone. Dickson & Talbot of Indianapo-
lis, are lessees of the Henrietta. They
are also lessees of the. Park theater in
the same block, which was also con-
sumed. The loss of Dickson & Talbot
at both theaters is between $50, 900 and
$50, 200, The loss of the Felix Morris
company is $4,000 on wardrobes. Col
umbus loses it's best theater, the best
hotel and a number of fourishing busi-
ness enterprises.
There were 100 guests of the hotel and
they were in wild confusion, but a
majority of them succeeded in saving
much of their goods. Adjutant- Gen
eral Howe and other members of the
governors staff eaved all of Mckinley g
effects, he having apartments at the
hotel. Notwithstanding the great ex-
citement nobody was injured. Harvey
Thompson, the janitor, lost his life.
This is the only fatality. He was try
ing to lay hose to fight the fire inside
the building when he was cut off by the
flames. 4A

THE TARIFF BILL
Democrats Beset by
Difficulties.
The Income Tax a Seri-
Gus Obstacle.
The Disruption of the Party
May Grow Out of 1t.
Mr.. Cleveland Still Refuses to Take
the Public Into Confidence
as to Hawaii.


By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The Demo-
cratic mem bers OF the ways and means
committee are experiencing much dif-
fculty in their endeavors to complete
the new tariff bill and have it ready for
submission to their Republican col
leagues at meeting of the full COM
mittee on Monday next. The details of
the internal revenue schedule and the
income tax provisions are yet incom-
plete and somewhat indefinite.
Indeed strong influence has been
brought to bear within the last forty
eight hours to induce the committee to
abandon altogether the income tax
provision; but the position OF McMilli n
Bryan, Whiting and others has been so
resolute in favor of this policy that it
appears impossible for the COM
mittee to abandon the income
tax fully without hopeiessly dividing
ing the Democratic party. 1t seems
probable, however, that the income tax
provision will not be of the sweeping
character that was at first contemplated
Present plans are to impose tax on
legacies, on the incomes OF large corpor-
ations, on incomes on real estate and
other property in the country owned or
controlled by aliens as well as to require
the stamping of certain documents and
special license certain classes of busi-
ness.
The subcommittee on internal
revenue is still at work and will prob
able conclude its labors some time to-
morrow night. No changes OF import
ance are contemplated -in-the internal
revenue tax on tobacco or beer, though
it is proba BILE there will be slight in
crease Of the whisky tax.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 24.-Following
the ten trains of merchandise sent east

were dispatched.
1t is pretty we'll understood as re-
suit of the action of non union engineers
and fremen in the Nickle Plate and
Lake Shore yards in handling west
bound freight delivered to those roads
by the Lehigh Valley today, that the
men on those roads will be asked to go
out. If they should decide to join their
brethren on the Lehigh, the spread Of

The Future Government
of Hawaii.
Private AdViceS From
Honolulu.
Desperate Organization
Against the ex-Queen.
Cleveland Held to be the Enemy of
the Islands and Willis Regard
ed With Suspicion.


By the Associated Press.
New YORK, Nov. 24.-The World to-
morrow will publish letter from Hon
olulu brought by the Steamer Australia
which arrived at San Francisco on the
18th instant. 1t was written by Rev
erdy Thomas, who has been resident
of Hawaii for number of years, to a
friend living in New York.
The letter, after reviewing the situa-
ton, says: "All sorts of rumors are
afoat. One is that Willis Is going to
assist Liliuokalani regain the throne.
What lent color to the rumor was the
landing of number of marines from
the man of war Philadelphia and a
number of boats of that warship filled
with men all of whom were heavily
armed, was kept in the water all one
night. At daybreak the boats were
taken back on board the Philadelphia
and no one can tell what is the mean
ing of this new movement.
'ItI said the queens friends intended
to make an attemp to get control of the

assist them. It was discovered that
the plan had been made known, that
the conspirators were under surveillance
and it was decided at the. last moment
to give up the attempt.
"Let me tell you, if any attempt is
made to replace the queen on the
throne there will be bloodshed. We
have now a citizens guard numbering
500 and this guard will fight to the last
to uphold the new government. We
are now enjoying freedom and COM
parative safety if the United States
will only annex us, and if it wont do
that, keep its hands off. then we will
become prosperous"
Before the provisional government
was formed we were like lot of slaves,
afraid to open our mouths. Minister
Stevens understood the situation. He
is an honest man and his report is a
truthful one. If Harrison had re-
mained president few months longer
we would have been annexed. The
feeling here against President Cleve-
land is very bitter and Willis is looked
upon with suspicion. l think per
manent republic will be established in
a few weeks and the queen will then be
forced to leave the island.
Ihave Just time to add few lines.
The marshal called meeting of the
citizens guard, what's up l don't
know. I will let you know by the next
mail. Every man has a Remington
rifle and is well supplied with ammuni-
tion."

disperse the tribes who haye made COM
mon cause with the Riffs. He asked in
the meantime that the Kabyls be al
lowed to trade freely with Melilla.
General Marcais declined to accede to
Muley Araaf's requests, declaring that
it was impossible to suspend the work
on forts, or the advance of the troops
for single moment. Neither would he
permit the rebels to trade while they
remain unpunished.

doned. A maximum speed of 22.86
knots WAS attained before the accident

% knots, earning premium of $400, 900.

Cleveland was disturbed over the Ha-

that the dispatch received by the Ala

result in determination not to en-
