He viii Support Good Government If
1t Should be Republic.
HONOLULU, April 26.-The following
correspondence to the Associated Press
has been received:
A factor not known. but more than
ever important, has made it's appear
ance in Hawaiian politics, by the ar
rival Of Claus Spreckles. "the Sugar
King"
To an Associated Press correspondent
he said.
"The labor question is an important
cne, and constitutes my only objection
to annexation. Planters must save ex-
pense in labor, and in the necessities of
the case. this must be by Asiatic Ia
hor."
Spreckles called on Queen Liliouka-
lani since the magnate's arrival, and
informed the deposed ex-queen that the
monarchy is dead beyond restoration.
whatever the result may be-" she is
quoted as saying, 81 will not utter a
murmur I have advised my people to
remain quiet"
To President Dole, upon whom
Spreckles also called, the latter is said
to have given the assurance that he
would support good government If he
should persist in his idea of republic,
and he would find many influential men
ready to assist him.

A VERY MOMENTOUS QUESTION
Will the Worlds Fair Be Open or
Closed On Sunday?
THE MATTER UNDETERMINED
Prolongued Discussion In Chicago Yes
teiday The Piano Muddie Not Yet
Settled.
Associated Press.

tASSOcldIeQ freSS.
Chicago, May 3.--Director OF Works
Burnham, today issued a general order
that all installation and construction
work must be finished by May 18th,
and anything done after that date
must be done during the hours when
the exposition is not open.
The piano muddle is at standstill.
The council of the administration still
maintain that it has Jurisdiction and
the national commission has not with
drawn it's order commanding Director
General Davis to exclude pianos made
by non-exhbiting firms. The judiciary
committee of the commission wrestled
with the problem until late this after
noon, and brought in a majority and
minority report. The former was
signed by Massey, Sticllar, Garvln, and
Allen, recommending the rejection of
Burton's resolution that the council has
no Jurisdiction. The minority report
was signed by Burton and Hundley
and held that the council had no legal
jurisdiction, as the matter was not prop
erly referred to it, and recommended
tht the whole subject be referred to
jofnt committee. The commission and
directory reports were made the special
order for tomorrow. Then the Sunday
closing question came up in the shape
of report from the Judiciary COM
mittee on the resolution offered by
Eiboeck of Iowa, asking that the Sun
day closing question be referred to the
local directory. The judiciary commit
tee reviewed all previous action on the
subject and found that the question 10
settled unless the commission hereafter
lawfully takes an order modifying the
former rules. The committee was,
therefore, against the adoption OF the
Iowa mans resolution. The report will
be discussed tomorrow.
A large number Of national commits
sioners favor the opening of the gates
on Sunday, and 1t Is hardly probable
that an effort will be made to amend
the former rule by striking out the
Sunday closing clause. There is some
talk to the effect that the local direct
ory may take the matter out of the
hands of the national commission and
open tho gates. 1t is said the tickets
will be ready for use on Sunday next
and all preparations have been made
to open the gates without the couten-
lncing of the national commission until
/ is too late for interference.

KITTENS HATcHED FROM EGGS.
A Phenomenon Which May Have a
Bad Effect on the Egg Market.

A Phenomenon Which May Have a
Bad Effect on the Egg Market.
Chicago, May A Special from
Pittsburg, to the Herald says: "A re-
markable phenomenon occurred in the
artificial egg factory today For
some time Count Liedercranz,
foreman of the yoke depart
ment, has been experimenting
with a new incubator with a view to
creating supply of spring chickens for
the Chicago market. He succeeded in
producing embryotic chicks, but they
did not have sufficient vitality to peck
their way out of the papier mache
shell. Today he was surprised to hear
the faint meow of cat in the hatch
cry. Upon investigation he found a
complete litter of kittens cropping
around as IL in search of their mater
nal guardian. There does not seem to
be the slightest doubt that the kittens
came from the artificial eggs, and the
question which is puzzling local scient-
lists is: Was a mistake made in the
composition of the eggs, and have we
been eating embryotic cats when we
fondly believed we were breakfasting
on chickens in the initial stage Of ex-
istence? Until this problem is solved
there is likely to be prejudice against
the artificial eggs, the manufacture of
which completely broke up the monop-
oily of the barnyard fowls nearly a
century ago."

TIE WATERS REsIsTLEss FoRoE

Associated Press.
Urban, O., May 3.-The greatest ca
lamity that ever came to the people Of
Logan and Hardin counties, occurred
last night, when the Lewiston reservoir
broke and turned the immense flood of
water upon the residences along its
course. A break two hundred feet wide
occurred, and the water came rushing
down in flood ten feet deep and three
miles wide. completely submerging the
country around and everything in its
way. In the flood stood the houses Of
Jack Smith and William Devault, and a
large number of tenement houses and
squatters' and batchellors' homes. All
of these were submerged, though fort,
unately, everybody managed to escape
from danger. The people fled in terror
from their homes, while the swiftly
rushing flood came on down on the val
ley sweeping everything before it, A
portion of the town of Port Jefferson
was badly flooded. Quincy, Logansville,
Degraffeville, Troy, and Dayton were
also in the course of the flood, and suf
fered considerably. Hundreds of fami-
lies left their homes and fled out Of
reach of the coming torrent.
So far no loss of life has been report
ed, but when the flood subsidies it will
likely be revealed that more than one
unfortunate has perished. 1t is impossi-
BILE to give an estimate of the loss. The
farmers are financially ruined. The
latest reports tonight from the scene of
the flood are reassuring, and it is be-
lieved that such progress has been
made as will prevent further breaking
of the reservoir, but the entire lower
banks are isolated and in a very dam
gerous condition. Should further rains
fall, no human power can stay an aw-
full catastrophe.
kilograms have been sent to the au-
thorities at all the threatened points to
prepare for the worst, and hope for
the best.

"A Card to the Public,

My attention was this evening called
to the following item in the Budget:
1t will be a good thing for the town
when the old bankrupt stock of Dns-
more is gotten rid of, and the whole out
tit leaves town. 1t has been no go, d
from the start. 1t is about time the
people shut down on these outside pen
ny-catch concerns.
In reply to the above wish to state
that object most emphatically, to any
blackmailing scheme. Regarding ad-
vertising as business proposition, 1
shall advertise only where 1 know 1t
will bring good results. Mr.. Dunbar
kept quiet from February 22d until
March 22d, during which period ad-
vertised in his paper. On the latter
date 1 discontinued my advertisement,
having found that the Budget was de-
ficient in circulation, and consequently
useless as an advertising medium.
Since then have repeatedly refused
the solicitations of his agents for

SECRETARY GRESHAM TALKS.

Washington, d. c., May 3.-In regard
to thu statement that the Chinesa
minister was much alarmed by the re-
ports he had received from the West,
indicating danger of attacks upon his
countrymen, owing to their general re-
fusal to register under the Geary law,
the Post tomorrow will print the fol-
lowing:
Secretary Gresham in an interview
tonight, said: 1t is but natural that
Chinese and their chief representative
in the United States should feel some
anxiety Upon more than one occasion
in the past, deplorable outrages against
their race have occurred We have re-
ceived no reports whatever indicating
that there will likely be trouble, and
/ do not believe there will be. Mr.. Adee
had left the department when /
reached it this afternoon, but 1t is
not likely he would have communicated
with the governors of states upon so
serious a matter without informing me
of 1t. AS a matter of course, during my
absence he acts as he would do were l
present. In case Of an outbreak the de-
partment of state would not act, al
though there would be nthing out of
order in its making a request of the
governors Of states that they pursue a
certain line of action. When disorder
occurs, it is the duty OF states to sup
press it. If they prove inadequate, the
general government may assist.
when told of the statement that
the Chinese minister communicated
with Secretary Adee in order to
strengthen the case Of his government
in proceedings for indemnity, Gresham
said he was sure 1t was needless pre-
caution and expressed a strong dlsbe-
lief In the prbability Of any trouble"
