Matter of Appropriations.


Matter of appropriations.
SALEM, Feb. 17.-Shortly after noon
the general appropriation bill was taken
up in the House and passed. 1t reached
the Senate late tonight, but will proba-
bly, not be passed until an early hour on
Saturday morning.
The present Legislature has outdone
all previous ones in the matter OF appro-
priations. The general appropriation bill
makes appropriations aggregating 81
000,0G0.
Aside from the general appropriation
bill may be mentioned the following {:

tax law. Under the new law mortgages
will not be assessed, and no deduction
will be allowed for Indebtedness.

| has been decided upon for 10 A. NJ. to-
| morrow.

To-day five witnesses were examined.
The most important testimony was given
by W. B. Hill, brother of Constable Hill.
Hill stated that on the morning or night
after which Blume was struck by the
mob he took Blume from Sanger to
Fresno at the Constable's request. On
his way Blume said he had been taken
from Jail and hanged by mob twice.
Blume added that they hanged the wrong
man; that FORBADE was the man they
should have hanged, because FORBADE
had sworn vengeance against Haskin
and had planned the murder.

APIA (Samoa), Jan. 2S.-A severe hurri-
cane swept the island of Neifou of the
Samoan group on December 10th and
IIth, continuing for sixty hours. The
storm in severity equaled that which de-
stroyed the foreign warships in this har-
Dor four years ago. Thousands of trees
were leveled to the ground, the old Wes-
leyan. Church was swept away, and
European and native houses destroyed.
One effect of the hurricane is that the ma
tives are destitute of food, as the bread
fruit trees have all been DESTROYED and
there is no money with which to buy
anything.
The vicissitudes of Samoa growing out
of the political situation are as varied as
they are distressing. The municipality
of Apia was reduced to the extremity of
pledging the few chattels in its possession
in order to raise money to satisfy judg-
ment of the Supreme Court for less than
$50. Had not private individuals ad-
vanced the amount the entire assets of the
municipality would have been sold to
satisfy the court.
There was considerable excitement re-
Gently i'll Apia, especially at Mulinun.
For TWO or three days there had been ru-
mors circulated that Malie malcontents
contemplated descent on Nahum. 1t
was stated that large party of Mataafa's
followers were under arms, and that the
long-threatened invasion was to take
place. Large numbers of the adherents
ofthe Government armed themselves and
got ready to repel the threatened inva-
| sion, which, however, did not occur. The
popularity cf MataaIa is increasing, and
from facts learned it is asserted that if a
general election were called to select a
/ King he would be chosen.
The natives are anxious for the enforce
ment of Article III, of;the joint agreement
between the powers which states in most
express terms that Samoans shall select
their own King, If this privilege were
allowed there is little doubt that Malietoa
would step down and out.
On the 18th of January Mataafa wrote
public letter, in which he recited the fact
that the native element was not allowed
its rights. He criticised severely the acts
of President Pilsach and the Chief us
tice and maintained that their removal
would prove most satisfactory.
Before the publication of the letter the
representative chiefs Of the islands com
prising the Samoan group held council
meeting to settle any and all difficulties
that existed, but nothing definite re-
suited

SAN FRAN CISCO, Feb. 1.-THE steam
ship Belgic, from lHongkong and Yoko-
homa via Honolulu, arrived in port at
o'clock this morning, bringing latest ad-
vices from Honolulu.
The martial law was declared off by
the Provisional Government on Febru-
airy 9th. and everything was quiet on
the islands. Everybody was anxiously
awaiting news from the United States
and the sentiment in favor of annex
alton appeared to be steadily growing.
a detachment of sailors and marines
from the United States ship Boston was
still quartered on shore and the stars
and stripes remain over the Govern
ment building. The United States
war-ship Mohican was just entering the
harbor at Honolulu as the Belgic left.
The deposed Queen, Liliuokalani, is re-
siding in Honolulu, and is supplied with
a guard of twelve men, furnished by the
Provisional Government.
President Dole states that matters are
progressing satisfactorily with the new
element or demonstration of any kind.
| According to his view, the English bhsi-
ness interests of the islands preferred that
Kaiulani should rule. but they would
not object to an American protectorate
back of her.
In view of possible complications, the
Provisional Government published an
Act on February Sd for the establishment
of the Office of President, with the
| usual powers, vesting in him all the
powers of President, in the event of
death, resignation or disability of the
President. S. NJ. Damon was chosen
| Vice President of the Provisional Gov
ernment on February 7th.
An international incident may follow

on that island, Kynnersly called mass

house and tore down the proclamation of
the Provisional Govesnment and defed

Failure.

His Wealth Swept Away by a Bank
Failure.
YOUNGSTOWN Ohio, Feb. ia SEN
sation was caused in business, financial
and manufacturing circles to-day by the
failure of Robert l.. Walker, a prominent
banker and capitalist, who made an as
signmeut for the benefit of his creditors.
The failure will be wide spread in its
effects, involving Governor Mckinley,
and the indications are now that every
dollar of property owned by the Gov
ernor will be swept away. AS near as
can be estimated, the liabilities reach
500, 900. The failure is due to invest
ments and enterprises requiring large
outlay of money that has not as yet been
productive. From boyhood, Governor
Mckinley and Walker have been the
closest personal friends and the Governor
indorsed Walkers paper frequently. The
amount is not known, but is supposed to
he large.

BERLIN, Feb. 17.-Chancellor Caprivi
delivered a powerful address in the
Reichstag to-day. He declared with un-
usual vehemence that the attacks of agra
rian and anti-Semitic parties directed
against the Government and himself
would never move him to resign. 1t
was impossible for the Government to
accept bimetallism, because it was neither
able to PROFOUND scheme acceptable to
England, nor to disregard the interna-
tional markets. The agrarian and anti
Semitic movement, the Chancellor de-
clared, were certain of final overthrow.
The speech is believed to mark COM

TOPEKA, Feb. 1.-THE State troops
have been sent home and the armed
posse of Deputy Sheritfs disbanded, the
Republicans and Populists have laid
down their arms and the war is over.
The developments of the day are regard
ed on all sides as a decisive victory for
the Republicans. This morning men,
orandum of an agreement was sent to the
Republican House by the Governor, and
was adopted by both parties. 1t provides
for the possession of Representative Hall
by the Republicans, the Populists to
meet elsewhere. The Republicans Sc
cure by the terms of the compromise un-
disputed possession of Representative
Hall in the Capitol, the main point for
which they have been struggling. The
Populists secure the hollow privilege of
meeting undisturbed in some other
place.
The final result of the struggle how
eyer, will have no effect on the unfortu
nate legislative muddle. The Populists
say their House will go right ahead max
ing laws, no matter what the courts may
do. The Senate will continue to recog-
nize the House, and the Governor will
sign the bills passed by it. Should they
be declared invalid by reason of having
been passed by an illegal House, then the
| Populists say the blame will rest upon
the courts. In case such a thing comes to
pass, the State institutions, colleges, asy-
lums, schools, ETC., will doubtless have to
close.
! When word was received in the Repub-
lican House that Governor Lewelling
had withdrawn the troops great cheer
went up. Speaker Douglass made an ad-
dress, stating that the Republicans had
won a great victory, and would win
another tomorrow in the Supreme Court.
Governor Lewelling said to an Associ-
ated Press representative this evening
that the Populist party has taken no
backward step. The Populist House will
now proceed without fear of molestation
to the transaction of business. Blood
shed has been averted, and this, he said.
is the crowning triumph of a Populist
victory. The Governor added that he
and the Senate would recognize but one
House. If the Supreme Court declares
the Populist House unconstitutional,
then the responsibility for the acts of the
House will rest with it. The Populists
at all times deny the right of the Supreme
Court to determine any question arising
from the organization of the House oi
