Both the revamped liquor bill and the
newly Matched bill for Board of Public
Works here In this city are nothing but
political games. The fact that Wheaton

its chief aim and that there is "somethi ling

mere nothings and the fact that majori-

them was not considered, unless It was
to urge the Republicans to greater mad

The Thomas Investigation.

The special committee Of the national
commission reported yesterday the results
Of its charges against Professor Thomas.
The report recommended that the COM
mission request the famous director Of mu-
sic to resign. The report said that the evj-
dence shows that Thomas ordered the cast
ing out OF the Lyon 81 Healey harp, aud
substituted an instrument manufactured
by foreign firm. The committee is salts
fled that Thomas Disseminated against
certain manufacturers of musical instru-
ments, and that some measures are neces-
sary TO put stop to his arbitrary prac-
tice.
The committee thought IL necessary
to consult the council Of administra-
tion before taking any action, and the
council of administration, which has
been very friendly to Thomas through
out the controversy over the music
hall, promptly sat down upon tho
efforts Of the committee to apply remedy.
The council of administration asserts that
the national commission has no jurisdio-
tion over music hall affairs and plainly
told the committee that It was wasting
time.
The result of the committees finding
will probably be made known to Mr..
Thomas at once, but the chances are that
he will remain as musical director The
local directory has practically decided to
stick to him through thick and thin, and
while the local and national boards arc
fussing with each other, the concerts will

APIA, Samoa, July 29.-War broke

Next day the first blood was shed.
Malietoa carefully planned the attack,
and but for the accidental discharge
OF a gun which precipitated the con-

Professor w. D. Alexander, special
Hawaiian commissioner, leaves today
for the United States. Yesterday, in
special session the councils went over
his instructions, which are very gen
eral in their nature, and are virtually
as before stated carte blanche to
make the best terms circumstances will
permit with the United States for the
benefit of Hawaii and good govern
ment. Alexander has general instruc-
tions to insist on annexation first and
last, but to accept a protectorate If no
other alternative offers. The pro-
visional government has introduced a
bill in council to vest the title of crown
lands in the government and provide
for their distribution and utilization
among the people.
The bill will likely pass. The bill on
military has been amended so as to do
away with a. regular army and make
the National guard volunteer force.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES.
Speaker Crisp Will Give No Indication Of
Their Composition.

NEW YORK, Aug. "A World
Washington special says: speaker
Crisp authorizes the statement that
there is no basis whatever for any one
OF the many reports which have been
circulated regarding the appointment
OF the chairmen of committees. He
has not yet decided upon a single ap-
pointment and will not do so for sew
eral days, certainly not before the
arrival OF the president and Secretary
Carlisle and probably not until the
caucus shall have officially desig-
mated him as its candidate
for speaker. He does not
expect to announce the committees
until : or 10 days after organization en-
Monday. He may make an exception
OF the committee on coinage, but has
reached no such determination as yet.
The speakers sole aim is to do only
that which will be of the greatest SER
vice to the party. To accomplish that
purpose he feels the necessity of ear
nest cooperation with the administra.
ton, and he has not seen either the
president or secretary of the treasury
for several weeks. He will not at
tempt to reach a conclusion until he
shall have an opportunity to consult
with them as we'll as with leading
members OF the house upon whom be
must depend for support on the floor.
The truth is that all depends
upon the tone of the message
If Mr.. Cleveland shall confine his re-
Communications strictly to repeal with
no hint of subsequent legislation in
the direction of his be-metalism, it
might be considered wise to put Cock
ran against the redoubtable Bland, in
which event Cochran would leave the
ways and means to become chairman
of the coinage committee. If on the
other hand the president should deem
more pacific policy advisable it
might be considered wise to permit
Mr.. Bland to retain his osition, if he
should care to do so, despite an oppos-
ing majority in his committee, as the
composition of the ways and means
committee will be affected by that of
the coinage committee. All depends,
however, upon the presidents policy
as outlined in his message.

GALVESTON, Aug. 4.-The Missouri,

horns today over the control of the
Galveston, Houston and Henderson
railway. When district Judge Stew
art opened court this morning and
asked the attorneys if they were ready
to go into hearing o. the case. At
torney Hagerman of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas said he was ready.
bvt that he had not had an oppor-
tunity to see the answer of the defend
ants to the petition of plaintiff, and
would suggest that the case be gone
into tomorrow morning, as that would
allow the plaintiff today to look over
the answer and prepare reply.
Mr. Duncan, attorney for the Inter
national and Great Northern, said
they had only completed their answer
this morning He then brought up
the question of the approval OF the
contract of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas with the Galveston, Houston
and Henderson by the railroad COM
mission, and said as the commission
had refused to approve it the case OF
the plaintiff was disposed OF and 1t
was useless to go into full hearing OF
the case. !
Mr. Hagerman said he was prepared
to show conclusively that the approval
of the commissioners was not neces-
srry and cut no figure in the case.
Judge Stewart decided to go into the
case tomorrow morning and an adj
journment was taken until that time.

United States free entrance of raw
material.

Special to The Statesman.
Houston, Aug. 4.-Walter E. Shaw
was hanged today at 80. The drop
broke his neck and he was dead in
seven minutes. His nonchalance was
preserved throughout. He assembled
the gallows with firm step, and when
ON the scaffold asked for cigarette,
which was furnished. He then spoke
for about a minute. He said that
he was going to a court where
the Judge would not kangaroo
him. He forgave Sheriff Ellis, but in
bitter language he invoked curses on
all his relatives, and particularly one
of the witnesses. His short speech
ended, he stepped on the trap with
the remark: II am at your service"
When the black CAP was adjusted he
spat out his cigarette and in 30 seconds
more he was hurled into eternity. The
petition asking for further clemency
only received one signature-that OF
its author, F. N. Gray.
Shaw's crime was the murder OF his
mother and aunt by cutting their
tbroats with a razor. He had been on
a protracted spree and committed the
crime to procure money with which to
buy whisky.
