A Little Mink, by Ada Cambridge
(New York: d. Appleton & Company;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony, is
slight. vivacious story with melancholy
conclusion. The little mink, Mrs. John
Primrose, comes to Australia as the
wife of the new curate, and while there
buries two husbands. She leaves that
land to marry a third, whose fate might
be similar, were it not for her loss at sea.
She and her admirers, married and sin
gle, are very amusing, and their haps
and mishaps entertaining reading for an
idle day. One scene, that of bush fige,
is painted with distinction. The book
would be more entertaining were it not
that on nearly every page somebody or
something is described as nasty and
it is positive relief to reach page 1856,
where the Archdeaeon says "damn it!'
"a much nicer expression.

The latest in the Great Commanders
Series (New York: D. Appleton d Com
pany; Portland: Loring, Short q Har-
mon) is Andrew Jackson, by the late
James Parton, the last book to come
from that virile and picturesque pen. IL
has all the clearness in statement and
exquisite order in marshaling facts that
characterize this authors work; and the
faults. intense partisanship and dlsre-
gard of authorities that make against his
view, which endear him to so many
readers. That it is an entertaining vol
ume scarcely need be said. He wrote
no others. According to the scheme OF
the series, and as in the case with lay
lor, more attention is paid to Jackson's
military career than to his civic-though
there is little to say about the regular
army officer as a civilian, while there is
much to say about Jackson, who was
only soldier occasionally and by acct

CAMDEN, y. j., March S-The hus-

the result of poison-pictures the state
of affairs at 207 Francis street Henry
T. Horner, with his wife, Henrietta,
aged As years; Rudolph, aged years;
Harry, aged 3; Harry Harris, a grand
child, and Thomas Horner, a young
man, comprise the family. How they
were poisoned is a mystery that the
county physician and the coroner are
investigating. When the house was
visited yesterday afternoon the ifeless
body Of the father lay on a couch in
the sitting room, and the means of the
sick wife and children upstairs could
easily be heard.
1t is said that the family purchased a
quantity of beef on Saturday from
Fretler 81 Co, and ate it on Sunday.
Shortly afterward Mr.. Horner and then
Mrs Horner and her children became
ILL Dr. Haines, who was sent for,
pronounced the cases poisoning. All
grew worse, and Mr.. Horner died
in the morning. Harry Harris and
Rudolph were somewhat improved yes
terday afternoon, but the condition OF
Mrs. Horner and Harry was critical
The butcher said that if the meat was
purchased Saturday it was a portion OF
1900 pounds of veal he had sold on that
day, about which there had not been
any other complaints.

THE HEATAEN CHINEE.
a Deadly Feud Between the CeIestiaIs in
san francisco.

a Deadly EeUG between the CeieStiaIS In
san francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-A bloody
feud of large proportions is now on
among the highbinders of Chinatown,
and yesterday morning the third vic
tim selected within three days narrowly
escaped slaughter. The two others lie
on slabs in the morgue. This deadly
vengeance was called out by the re-
fusal of certain Chinese to aid the high
binders socie ties in circumventing the
law, especially in regard to landing
Chinese women as the wives OF mer-
chants
Ten days ago a secret meeting of
representatives of high binder societies
was held, and four men were
doomed. Two were selected for i'm
mediate vengeance. One OF these
was Yicll Kee, a merchant of Dupont
street Yiclz KEGS crime was refusing
to indorse the statements made in
false report and certificate upon it was
recently attempted to land zee Cue, a
Chinese woman. The other mans crime
was in notifying the police on DeceIn-
Der IL last that Il woman representing
herself to be the wife OF Guam Shun
had been landed from the Belgic on Il
false certificate, and for other similar
information to the police. Five men
weee selected to carry out the work OF
assassination, four of them belonging
to the Suey On Thong and the fifth
to the Bing on Thong.
Eight days after the meeting All Kee,
who resembles YiclS Kee in appearance
and dress, was followed by five high
binders, the number selected at the
meeting, and was shot down in broad
daylight on Stockton street, where
Yick Kee had intimated his intention
of being that afternoon. Yesterday.
thirty-six hours later, Chung Qui was
fatally shot in a gambling den on Sulli-
van alley, and there are strong groun DIS
for suspecting that he was one of the
same four men.

DUN'S REPORT.

The Uncertainty I'm the Money Market
Affecting Trade Heavy Receipts of
Wheat
NEW YORK, March 1L-R g. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Business during the past week has
been affected by the severe weather,
but even more by stringency and I'M
certainty in the money markets The
quantity of wheat coming into sight
continues at the rate of SOC, 900 bushels
per day, which is extremely large for
the season when crops are supposed to
be short and prices are very low. The
exports are quite small and the prices
declined a cent for the week. Corn
was firmly held and advanced over
\ cent, and oats nearly as much,
while pork was raised Is cents, though
lard and hogs were lower. In cotton
en- advance of sixteenth occurred, in
spite of the assurance that the British
strike would not cease. The pressure
of great stocks on hand caused much
selling when money was light and
loans were called. But the exports of
domestic produce from New York last
week We're only $1,000, 900, against 81
$50, 600 last year, and monetary strin-
gency is not improbable while exports
are artificially reduced

RATHER CHILLY.
The Prospect of the Appointment of a
Commission to Visit the Island Causes a
chill te Creep Over the Hawaiian Com
mics

The Prospect of the appointment of a
Commission to Visit the Island Causes a
chill to Creep Over the Hawaiian Com
missioDers.
NEW YORK, March San intimation
that President Cleveland may appoin
commission to visit Hawaii before
acting on the annexation question has
caused a chill to run up the backs OF
the Hawaiian commissioners.
They had hoped for something better
than this If the annexation scheme
failed to receive the approval of the
new administration they hoped, at
least, to be able to return to the pro-
visional government and say that the
United States would be willing to ne
gotiate for the assumption of a protec-
torate over the islands
The appointment of a commission,
they realize, would not only occasion a
delay in the important question, but
would deprive them of the honors or
profits connected with the negotiations
They are, therefore, loath to believe the
rumor which is current that the new
administration is talking of appointing
commission to visit the islands with
1thority to treat with the provisional
government upon a plan giving Amer
lean supremacy over the islands without
mourning all the responsibilities accom-
panying annexation.

THE TREATY WITHDRAWN.

The President Withdraws the Hawaiian
MISREPRESENTATION tn Ills iseason
For 80 Doing.
WASHINGTON, March To- The presi-
dent yesterday sent brief message to
the senate Withdrawing the Hawaiian
treaty.
The message was received without
comment on the floor of the senate.
The republican. senators regard this ac-
ton as in line with the course pursued
by Mr.. Cleveland in withdrawing the
Nicaragua treaty sent to the senate by
Mr.. Arthur in the closin g days of his
administration. Democratic senators
look upon the act from two-fold point
of view, some taking the ground that it
shows Mr.. Cleveland to By against an
nexation or American domination Of
any sort in the Hawaiian islands, while
others hold that he will send in another
treaty more to his liking.
1t is understood that the reason for
the withdrawal of the treaty by Presi-
dent Cleveland is because he is opposed
to it in its present form. Whether or
not he will favor the making of another
and whether it will be an annexation
treaty or not, cannot be said on author
ity at this time, but a gentleman who
HOS CdihOu Will GuS pTSSiCSHG Oh JIG
subject said this afternoon that an
other treaty would be made.
1t is intimated that the president will
suggest either by message or personal
ly to senators that committee be APP
pointed to visit the Hawaiian islands
this year during the interval between
the adjournment of the special session
and the reconvening of the next con-
gress Mr.. Cleveland, heretofore, has
been quite solicitous on this point
and made inquiries as to whether
or not the resolutions providing
for such a commission had gone
through. He had been apparently
under the impression that it had been
adopted He learned that it had not
been, but that the senate had authority
alone to provide for such commission,
probably to consist of senators, and
that the contingent fund of the sem
ate could be drawn on for this pur-
pose.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

The Senators VIII Not Seek PopuIist Aid
Case of appointed Senators = Martins
Unique Position.
WASHINGTON, March S-The demo-
cratic caucus which met in the senate
chamber was well attended. Just the
course the democrats intended to pur-
sue toward the populists has been a
matter of interesting conjecture since
it was known that the democrats had a
clear majority of their own The &C
ton indicates that these populist sena-
tors are to be ignored Senators Kyle,
of North Dakota, and PETER, of Kansas,
the old populists. and Nh. Allen, the
new populist elected by Nebraska, were
not invited to attend the caucus, and
to this extent, at least, it would seem
that they have been purposely neg
lected
Mr.. Martins case was. however, diff
ferent. Mr. Martin, of Kansas, al
though elected by fusion votes, is con-
sidered democrat and as such was in
vited by Mr.. German to attend the eau
Gus, and he was present and partici-
pated in the proceedings Mr.. Allen,
it is said, will vote with the democrats
when it comes to the organization
The caucus organized by re-electing
Mr.. German chairman and Mr.. Faulk-
ner secretary. The session lasted
four hours, the only actual business
transacted being to authorize the chair
man to appoint committee to devise a
plan for reorganization and report to
the caucus upon the call of the chair
man. Much of the time was consumed
in the discussion bearing upon the
standing of the senators who have been
appointed by governors, the cases in
point being Senator Beckwith, APP
pointed by the governor of Wyoming.
and Senator Mantle, appointed by the
governor of Montana Speeches were
made by Senators Voorhees,, Villas, Dan
iel and others 4 spirit of opposition
gainst seating these appointees was
manifested and in support of this view
a number of old decisions in senate con
tested elections were cited The claim
was made that inasmuch as the legisla-
lures of these states had not exercised
the prerogative belonging to them, the
governor had no authority to fill the
places and the states should remain uu
represented A precedent for such ac-
ton was cited from an early Californj
case. 1t was finally decided, however.
that these matters, together with the
case of Mr.. Martin, should be referred
to the committee ON privileges and cleo
tiOnS.

CONSIDERING THE TREATY.
President Cleveland VIII Fully Investigate
the Hawaiian Question.

President Cleveland VIII Fully Investigate
the Hawaiian Question.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The course
of the president in withdrawing the
Hawaiian treaty is still matter of dis
cussion among senators, though stopped
from talking publicly upon the subject
by the ancient senatorial tradition that
matters executive must be regarded as
secret until such time as the senate it
self removes the injunction of secrecy
which it has failed to do in the present
instance. Arepublican senator who has
taken n prominent part in most of
the discussions in the senate in recent
years that have touched foreign rela-
tions said that he had received an inti-
nation that the president was DESTROYS
of modifying the treaty and that it
would ultimately be returned to the
senate. One of the contemplated mod
ifications was probably suggested by
the protest of Queen Liliuozalani, made
by Mr.. Paul Neumann, her representa-
tive, which stated that a majority of
the Hawaiians were bitterly opposed to
annexation
The senator thought it possible that
the president might so far frame the
treaty that annexation would depend
upon the will of the Hawaiians as ex-
pressed by plebiscitum- Should the
majority reject annexation, then a pro-
tectorate might be esta blished.
