The Provisional Government Makes Out
Strong Case Against the ConspIra-
tors.
HoSoLULU, June 20. via San Fran

the now famous conspiracy case were
quite sensational. The preliminary eK.
animation Of Crlck, Walker and Sinclair
went on, and IS each successive witness
was examined the stronger the Govern
ment case appeared 10 be.
The fact thAs Hist Of the conspira-
tors Is in the possession OF the PrOyls-
ional Government has leaked ont and
there are many uneasy royslIsts 10 town.
Ii is the nope Of the Government that
they have such strong case against
Crick, Walker and Sinclair, that these
three men, who are believed 70 be only
tools of more prominent men, seeing
that conviction is certain. will turn
states evidence in the nope OF getting
of themselves.
II IL not believed that Spreckels Gu

Walker used his name 10 order 10 In
f,uence the soldiers 70 turn traitors.
While the sugar king openly fought
against annexation, he Is believed TO be
too shreud q man 70 join with those on
trial. All three OF them are men OF

CLEMRNCY FOR THE CHOCTAWS.
The Laws Must be Upheld, but They VIII
he Administered Eeniently.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 6.-The In
dications are that only one or Two II
any members OF the Jones faction, re-
Gently convicted of murder In connec-
ton with the Choctaw troubles, Will
ever be executed. Some months ago,
when the Jones and the Locke factions
were on the point Of meeting in battle,
careful investigation was made
TO determine who was the
duly constituted authorities OF
the tribe. The conclusion reached was
that Gov. Wilson Jones was undouot-
eddy entitled to recognition, and lnspec-
tor Faison was sent TO the scene OF the
threatened trouble with instructions TO
support Gov. Jones as the representa-
tive Of the national government, but at
the same time to do all In his power to
induce liberal and conservative treat
ment toward the insurrectionists, pro-
vlded the latter returned to their homes
quietly and respected the laws.
At the recent trials number or men
were convicted Of murder, some OF
manslaughter, others were found not
guilty. and still others were held Tor
trial. Desiring to carry out the orlgi-
nal intention OF the department. that
the law should be recognized, but that
the guilty should be treated with all
reasonable leuiency on June Goth, Sec
rotary Hoke Smith sent the following
letter to INSPECTOR Faison:
"You viii! call upon Governor Wilson
Jones and advise him that the proposed ex-
eeution Of so large number recently con-
victed in the Choctaw courts does not meet
with approval by the authorities here.
Executive clemency should be extended 10
the majority, II not TO all OF those sentenced
10 death. A suspension OF sentence Tor tue
present, or reduction Of the sentence 10
Imprisonment should be appied TO all, WIN
the exception possibly OF one or two OF tue
leaders.
This letter is written with the kuowl-
edge and approval Of the President OF the
United States
On July 4, the Secretary received the
following telegram from Inspector
Faison:
"rhe Governor and his cabiaet have
suspended execution OF nine Choctaws
sentenced to be shot until August Attn.
1t is the purpose of the Interior De-
partment, said Secretary Smith to-day,
to sustain among the Choctaws, who
ever may occupy the position OF author
ity as result OF their owe decisions as
to their own elections; but at the time
the department will use influence TO in
duce the constituted authorities to
treat with leniency those who have
heretofore been charged with crime
provided their future conduct indicates
that tbaU vnarit leniencV
4 stiff further Communication Of the
sentence 10 September 4 will be re-
quested by the department and during
interim care will be taken TO see how
the Locke faction conduct themselves
pending this clemency.

TIE SIBERIAN ACT.

Senator JONI SHERMAN has shown an
excessive fondness Of late for declaring
that be didn't mean it and that the silver
purchase act was simply a measure to
shield the country from free coinage.
The other day at Chicago he said: The
Sherman act was a compromise and was
passed to save the country from free
coinage bill that had been passed by the
Senate" The Washington Star corners
the tricky Ohio statesman by showing
that this is incorrect for the reason
that Senate free coinage bill
could not have become law without
the concurrence Of both the House
and the President, and when the
Senate passed the Sherman act
the House had just voted down free
coinage bin and President HARRISON
was pledged to veto any free-coinage
bill that came to him.
Even il the House had voted for free
coinage, instead of against it, the Presi-
dsnt's veto would have effectually kill
ed It. So there was no danger and no
need OF a compromise, as the Senator
says, to stave off free coinage.
The Sherman act was a voluntary po-
itical bargain to get the votes of Con-
gressmen from the siver-mining
States for the tariff bill and 10 keep
those States true to 1.-The grand old
party" After the Sherman act was
passed It was for year or two ap-
plauded In Republican State conyen-
tions as a wise measure. The platform
of the Indiana Republicans praised It
as a long step toward free coinage.
About that same time Major MCKINLEY
was making speeches in Ohio taking
credit to his party for passing the Sher-
man act and denounclng President
CLEVELAND for opposing the free coin
age Of silver. In West Virginia the
Hon. STEVE ELKINs made it one Of his
battle cries.
1t is impossible for JOHN SHERMAN
and his party to wriggle out of the re-
sponsIbility for the act and for the bad
use sought to be- made Of it.

ating my Young life, that caused ne 70

The Record publishes this commune
cation without eommeat and furnishes
no clew to the Identity or motive Of the
unknown poet. Its evident, however,
that be is a Theoscphical crank who,
believing that the end iusNfes the
means, Is engaged 10 an attempt to
reach, by short cut, the end which
Theosophists aim 70 reach through
their plan Of life, the complete subjuga-
ton OF the flesh and the conse-
quent freedom and elevation Of the soul.
10 other words, the Chicago poet car
rles even TheosOphical doctrine to the
point Of lunacy. To be sure, he may
not have far TO go from the starting
point, bat he nevertheless reverses
the Theosophical process to at
tain the desired end. He would hurry
up the work Of spiritualizing himself
subjugating the appetites Of body to
mind-by stimulating those very appe-
tites at the expense of his mind, morals
and soul. The morphine eaters intel
lect is first to succumb to the drug and
MS physical powers the last.
The Chicago opium poets method Of
subjugating his flesh is calculated to
land him in padded cell.

ANNIVERSARY OF HOMESTEADS BATTLE
Flowers for the Graves OF Those who
Died on That Memorable july Day.
Short aud Impressive Services.


HOMESTEAD, PA, July 6.-Home-
stead slept very little last night. The
fact that the morning sun would usher
in the anniversary Of the battle with
the Plnkertons, coupled with rumors
that an attempt was to be made TO burn
the mill, another demonstration was TO
be made, and that regiments In Pitts
burg were under arms, drove sleep away
from many couches and all night the
streets were thronged But these were
idle stories, and where the turmoil and
bloodshed reigned a year ago all was
peace aud quiet to-day.
The mill was In full operation, the
workers being largely made up from
Homestead strikers, and this busy little
town is going ahead much as though
the past was something to very care
fully avoid mentioning. A picnic at
the Ninth street grove and a few
speeches this evening, flowers scattered
upon the graves Of those who fell In
the oattle-these simple ceremonies
were all which Homestead allowed Itself
in commemoration.
At the picnic fund was started TO
be used in the erection Of monument
in memory Of the workmen killed in the
memorable riot. Several hundred dol
lars were raised 10 short time.
At the cemetery the ceremonies were
short but impressive and the graves OF
the dead were decorated with appropri-
ate floral designs and fresh flowers.
Many friends OF the deceased came from
q distance to pay this tribute.
About the great mills there was moth
ing to indicate that the battle royal OF
labor was fought within its fence one
year ago. The force Of men In the
works came and went amid no such
scenes as witnessed the efforts to run
the great plant this time last year. The
company itself is largely the cause Of
the failure of the people TO Indulge In
noticeable demonstration. 1t had benn
talked of, but the Carnegie management
posted q notice in the mill that every
man not working to-day would be dis
charged, and this curbed the more turb-
ulent spirits, for all Homestead-save
merchants, works In the mills.
But, Notwithstanding the seeming
dDdkuys IlOultHhNAA hOfo DHi uLb
10 many the recollection is bitter one.
The mill has been working steadily for
nearly eight months, yet the effect OF
the long idleness is yet severely felt.
Merchants complain necessarily; busl-
ness men generally find little financial
encouragement, and few municipal i'm
provements are 10 be found. The pay.
ment OF debts contracted during the
struggle has swallowed most Of the sur
plus earnings, and this served to keep
alive the memory of the fights The
only thing which seems TO have out
grown the struggle is the wonderful
mill Itself Large as il was before, the
capacity has been increased fully one
fourth this year. Last year several
other mills In America could in justice
rival the plant, but now II stands pre-
eminent as the largest producer Of fn-
ished steel in this country, and possibly
the world.

Irresistible logic that l am constrained

There is no reason, because the Sherman sill

BY extraordinary conditions Affecting SILVER

the question.
platform declared that it neld TO the use OF
both gold and silver as tina standard money or
the country and to the coinage OF both gold and
silver without discrimination against either
metal
The Republican party At the same time in its
national platform said: The Americ0n people
from trad zion and interest favor bimetalllsm
ana the Republican party demands the use or
both gold and silver as standard money
The Peoples party demanded the 'free and
unlimited coinsge Of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio OF 10 TO l.
The Prohibition patty asserted that the
money OF the country should consist OF gold,
silver and paper"
Here are the four national American political
parties, differing on ClmoSt every other ques-
ton, but Unit on he question OF money. All
demanded the use Of gold and silver on equal
terms as money.
And that is not only the mandate of the peo-
pie OF al parties, but Is the reqUlremantof the
Constitution or the United states
You here, in succinct and vigorous
language announce two truths, Il, that
tho Democratic party is pledged TO

PARIS. July 6.-The action of the po-
lice in making the arrests at the Char
ity Hospital yesterday, which brought
forth letter OF protest from Prof. Ger
main See, has caused the most intense
antl-police agitation in professional and
other circles. The first dispatches
stating that convalescent patients had
Kissed the police from the windows OF
the hospital and had been arrested for
so doing were incorrect. II transpired
that Police Commissary Pliers.
who was in charge of a body
of gen d. armes that had been strug-
Cling with the rioters in the
vicinity of the hospital heard somebody
in the hospital Kissing the police. He
ordered the arrest Of six house sur
geons, but when his subordinates at
tempted to carry out the order the sur
ceons shut and locked the hospital
doors. They refused to open them
when ordered to do so by the police
and the latter, determined to make ar
rests and very angry because Of the re-
sistance, burst the doors in and as
saulted the surgeons who were stand
ing In the vestibuie. Two of the sur
geons were placed in custody and taken
to the prefecture, where NJ. Loze, the
project Of police, ordered tina / they be
at once released.
This further angered the police, and
-. md
turned to the hospital and seized Prof.
Villeiean, a noted physician, and struck
him violently. Several surgeons wit
Messing this assault, attempted to de-
fend the professor. The police turned
on them and handled them very roughly
in6lcting serious injuries on three or
four of them. The hospital was in az
uproar at this brutal manifestation OF
police spite, and the hospital staff de-
termlned to drive the police out OF the
building.
Some of the surgeons procured revolt
vers and at their muZzles compelled the
police to withdraw. This morning a
number of high officials, deeply indig-
nant at the police, interviewed in the
matter and demanded Of the government
that the hospital be protected against
further intrusion by the police endeav-
oring to redress personal grievances.
Quietness prevails throughout the city
to-day, but there has been no dimlnu-
ton OF the extremely bitter feeling en-
tertained against the police. The au-
thorlties, civil and military, are on the
qui vive and the districts OF the city in
which further trouble may occur are
closely patroIled.
Premier Dupuy informed the cabinet
council that the street disturbances had
been suppressed and probably would not
be repeated. All precautions had been
taken he said for the immediate repres'
sion of and further attempts to start
riots.
