New YORK, Jan. 30, 1s93.--The New

81, 900 for a cure for consumption. In
today's issue it announces it's conf
dence that such cure has been dis
covered. DIR. w. r. Amicl, the author
of the cure, has been conducting l2
tests of his treatment under the au-
spices of the Recorder. The reported
results thus far have been remarkable.
The Recorder today announces that
the complete treatment with medicines
sufficient for 10 days preliminary
trial will be furnished free TO each ply
stefan and sufferer from lung troubles
throughout the United States who
writes to the Amick Chemical Co., 166
West Seventh street, Cincinnati. This
offer is made, the Recorder says, in or
der TO obtain evidence corroborating
its own test cases and the announce
ment is creating greater furore than

The PANAMA Canal,s ruturo.

The latest and most authentic infor-
nation as to the probable future of the
Panama canal is that some corporation
other than any French company will
obtain a concession from the United
States of Colombia. Certain it is that
the expiring concession of the present
French company will not be renewed
and the Colombian government will
take possession of the canal and the
visible assets of the company.
A new concession may be granted TO
an American and British syndicate If it
is anxious to secure it. If not, the
Colombian government may undertake
to complete the work as a natural en-
terprise. In that case they would let
the cor 'ract for its completion to the
loves: sesponsible bidder. If the gov
eminent should undertake the work
the payment for 1T would be arranged
by issuing special canal bonds.
Should the United States desire
special privileges on the 18th mus not
already assured by the treaty of 1s46,
that government might secure them by
joining Colombia and guaranteeing
the interest on the bonds to be issued.

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS OVER
THROW THEIR QUEEN.
"A BIoodless Revoiution--t Other
General News Matters.

The steamer Claudine from the Sand
witch Islands brought news of a com
plete overthrown of the Hawaiian gov
eminent. The story of the trouble is
as follow:
On January Is Queen Liliuokalani
attempted TO place in force a new con-
stitution depriving foreigners the right
of franchise and Diminishing the house
of mobiles for the purpose of appoint
ing a new house. The foreign element
resisted this action by hastily forming
a committee of public safety and con-
demping the action of the queen. This
committee of safety consisting of 10
prominent citizens Immediately issued
proclamation setting forth that the
queen had defeated the popular opinion
by antagonizing the cabinet which had
been approved by large majority of
the legislature; that she had appointed
a cabinet subservient to her own will;
that her recent action has shown a de-
termination to abridge popular rights
and extend the royal prerogatives; that
the dissatisfied people had formed at
least five consplracies for uprisings
against the unjust ruler within five
years; that the credit of the govern
ment had been impaired and that final
ruin was sure to follow the increasing
overstrained condition of things; that
the action of the committee was with
the firm belief that it was for the best
personal, political and property inter
ests of the citizens.
The committee then issued n mani
festo abrogating the Hawaiian mon
archial system of government and de-
claring provisional government for
the control and management of public
affairs and the protection of public
peace is hereby established, to exisC un.
til terms of union with the United
States Of America have been negotiated
and agreed upon"
The provisional government was
fully organized as soon as possible and
the queen, seeing her troops and follow
ers rapidly joining the volunteers called
for by the new government, decided to
abdicate and then retired to her pri-
vate home, leaving the provisional
government in full control.
The representatives of the foreign
powers were notified of the change in
affairs and all recognized the new reg
ime with the exception of Great
Britain. Martial law was declared.
The commissioners who were sent to
arrange a treaty with the United
States claim that there is nothing
to prevent the annexation of
the islands by the United
States, but this is matter
for serious discussion as it is doubtful
If England would agree to such action.
Nevertheless preparations were at cnce
made by the navy department for
gathering of fleet in Hawaiian waters.
Dispatches from San Francisco say
that the u. S. flagship Mohican was
at once ordered from the Mare island
navy yards and cleared for Honolulu.
The Ranger and the Adams also fol-
lowed and the new coast defense vessel
Monterey is being hastily put in COM
plete order for trip TO the same place.
The Boston is already at Honolulu.

Two Men Blown to Atoms.

AtMcAdory, five miles below Besse-
mer, Ala, ESQ pounds of dynamite ex-
ploded in the mixing house of the
Sterling Dynamite Company's works.
The building was blown to atoms and
two men who were in it-George Will
liams and James Parsons-were in
stantly killed and the quiverlng flesh
of their bodies scattered for hundreds
of yards around. Manager Hobbs says
carelessness in mixing the ingredients
which make up the dynamite caused
the explosion. No one was near ex-
cept the two men who were killed.
After the explosion, men with baskets
gathered up the flesh and bones of the
dead men. The largest pieces found
were part of an arm and section of a
mans spinal column. In the top of a
tall tree was found pair of pants.
Fragments of flesh were found across a
creek 300 yards away, and the shock of
the explosion caused an immense
boulder to roll down on the Birming-
ham Mineral raiload track, half a mile
away, delaying trains an hour.

Bank Commissioner Sherwood.

State Banking Commissioner Sher-
wood has submitted his annual report.
He suggested that state banks be re-
quired to carry to a surplus account 90
per cent of the net profits Of the bank
for the preceding six months as COW
cred by the dividend period, until the
surplus shall amount to so per cent
of the capital stock, and that all sur
plus TO that amount be free from taxa
ton. The failure of the Bills concern
at Tecumseh, and that of nine other
private banks during the past four
years was commented upon. Mr.. Sher-
wood would like to see law that
would prevent such concerns from using
a corporate name in advertising their
business. Building and loan associa-
tions the commissioner would place un-
der state supervision, as also foreign
insurance companies and loan associa-
tions.
The department received S7,7s5.21 in
fees from banks, while the expenses
amounted TO 50, 114.95.

ATHRAsHING HE DESERVED.

a Gay Married Man Arranged to Elope
With Young Widow, but Didn't.
A year ago Mrs. Willis +. Averill, of
Grand Rapids, was left a widow with
an infant on her hands. She was only
is years old, and the Michigan Trust
company was appointed guardian of
her and the child. Her means were
limited and her surroundings unpleas-
ant, and she sought employment of
Frank u. Leclear, pho tographer.
Leclear early began paying her marked
attention, Notwithstanding he has a
wife and two children and finally
planned an elopement with the widow
TO Chicago.
The corporation guardian warned
Leclear to cease his attentions, but
without satisfactory results. Mrs.
Averill was stopped at the depot as
she was about TO start for Chicago,
where she was to be joined by Leclear.
The Trust company then hired two
deputy sheriffs TO interview Leclear in
the capacity of big brothers. The Off
GERS gave Leclear a thrashing, and af-
ter iaboring with him sufficiently he
promised to cease his attention.

$50 MINERS KILLED.
An Explosion OF Fire Damp in Bohenia
Mine Causes Fearful Slaughter,

Mine Causes Fearful Slaughter,
Dispatches from Vienna tell the story
of the terrible loss of life from an ex-
plosion of fire damp in mine at Dux
in Bohemia. One hundred and thirty
miners were killed.
The explosion occurred when the
shifts were changing. A cage full of
miners had been lowered half way
down the shaft when the ground trem-
bled, a loud rumbling report was heard
and the cable attached to the cage
gave such lurch that the lowering
machinery broke. A rush of air and
dust from the pits mouth, the sounds
of crashing timbers and the cries of the
mon in the cage gave warming to the
mch above of the extent of the disaster.
Help was summoned, the machinery
was repaired after a delay of half an
hour and the cage was raised. Ten OF
the occupants had been killed instantly
by the shock, 10 had suffered fractures
from which they cannot recover,
who had broken limbs and internal in
iuries will live. An hour later the
superintendent of the mine and five
miners from the night shift went down
in the cage. They were unable TO go
more than 100 yards from the shaft but
they found IA dead bodies. OF the 50
men, who were waiting for the cage,
10 had been killed and 40 had been par
italy crushed by falling timbers or
half suffocated by the foul air. A short
distance from the shaft the superin-
tendent found four bodies which had
been crushed by falling beam. In
gallery 800 yards from the mouth of
the shaft 40 bodies were found under
an immense pile of fallen timber and
earth.

MURDERED HIS CHILDREN.
In Ex-Priest Brains His Two, Little
Children with an Axe.

A Bohemian ex-priSst. John b. Hojda,
killed his two children at Baltimore.
Hojda had been considered somewhat
demented for some time. Breaking
loose from his attendants the ex-priest
rushed down stairs. He secured an
ak and instantly killed his 3-weeks-old
child. A murderous assault upon his
3-year-old son followed. The frenzied
Bohemian seized loaded gun, which
was standing near by and jumped from
the second story window. He was un-
hurt by the fall and was soon captured.
Hojda some years ago was in charge

He fell in love with one of the young
women of his congregation. There
was lot of trouble about the affair,
and he abandoned his church and mar
ried the girl.

Kansas populists Elect a Senator.

Judge John Martin, of Topeka, has
been made Senator Martin, of Kansas
The latter title was bestowed upon
him by the joint convention of the
Senate and the Populist House, and he
proceeded at once to Washington to
take the seat of Senator Perkins, who
was appointed by the governor year
ago to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Plumb until the legls-
lature should name senator to serve
the unexpired portion of the term.
The Populists stole a march on the
Republicans when they nominated
Judge Martin in caucus. They figured
that Mr.. Martin being a Democrat,
there would go into their convention
not only enough Democrats to elect
him without counting the Populist
members who took the seats of un-
seated Republicans, but also enough to
break the Republican quorum. Their
figuring was correct, for when the roll
was called in their convention three
Democrats voted for Martin. OF course
these three cannot now go into the
Republican joint convention and with
out them the Republicans can only
muster 81 members, two short of a
quorum. The Republicans will be
therefore unable to elect senator and
John Martin will without doubt be the
only applicant for recognition before
the federal Senate. The Republicans
claim that his election is illegal, mas
much as it was participated in by a
House whose organization they allege
to be unconstitutional. That question,
however, will have to be settled by the
United States Senate.
