MAUI NEWS.


The publication Of the law-defin-
ing treason has put az end in a
great measure to the circulation of
petitions expressing either directly
or indirectly unfavorabIe sentiment
toward the new government. It
seems that some Of the WaiIukn
legal fraternity here declared that
either the presentation Of the afors-
mentioned documents for signatures,
or something in their context could
be construed as REASONABLE under
the new law. Hence the sud
den quietus on the enthusiasm Of
the petition notaries. However, ex-
csption should be mentioned in re-
gard to Mr.. Cornwell who has prob
ably had better legal advice.
It is rumored during last week
that the petitions we're to some ex-
tent popular in Wailuku and Spreck-
elsville, meeting with more success
than that in the possession Of Rev. J.
Kamakele which could exhibit but
single signature when last seen.
II is noted that the face values OF
January salaries for the first time in
several months have ben paid in
gold, and that election ana other
old accounts have been promptly
and legally cancelled. sdoreover
affairs are moving on so quietly and
serenely,-a slight touch Of anxiety
here and there about the future, but
nothing more,-that it is possible
the prophesy Of a certain prominent
Maui citizen will be verified; If the
Provisional Government continues to
run on for three months as satisfac-
torily as at present, that both native
and foreigner alike viii desire no
change ofrule.
No case of refusal on the part of
Government employees to swear
allegiance has been reported; on the
con rary the books are filing up and
the oath blanks running short. No
one can blame the native for not
liking the change, still when ap-
preached on the subject, the general
an yer is perhaps this government
is better than the DID," that is, not
the slightest bitterness is exhibited
or expressed.

4 GAY GEORGIA GIRL.
Miss Denham Tried to Poison Bride and
Short at Policeman.

ToCCoA, Ga, May "a horsew"man
dashing down the main street VI town,
at about 3 o'clock this afternoon, at
tracted general attention The police
men were trying to head her off, and
finally one of them caught the flying
horse by the bride and brought him
to halt, but not until the woman had
fired shot and declared that. she
would kill the man who arrested her.
The woman was Miss Fannie Denham.
Six months ago it was understood
that Frank Hughes, contractor, was
to marry Miss Denham. He changed
his mind and eloped with sixteen
year-old girl who had attracted his
attention.
Miss Denham said that the time
would come when Frank would regret
the step, and that the girls beauty
could not last always.
This afternoon Miss Denham went
out on her horse for ride, and, paus-
ing at the Hughes residence, called the
young wife out.
Miss Denham was most gracious,
and asked her to drink from cider
flask which she had il her hand and
to tell her what she thought of the
cider. The offer was declined.
Then Miss Denham asked Mrs.
Hughes to arrange her riding habit for
her. While this was being done Miss
Denham dashed the contents Of an
other bottle into her face, and putting
spurs to her horse fled down the street.
It was vitriol which she had dashed
into the woman's face and the result is
the loss of an eye, and the disfgure-
ment of the whole face and neck.
The cider bottle was found to con-
tain enough arsenic to have killed any
one. Miss Denham is in Jail.

TRYING TO COME TOGETHER.
Kolbites and Populists in Alabama Submit
u Proposition to the Regular Demo-
Gratis for a Joint Primary OF
White Voters.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 1.-THE
State Executive Committee Of the Kolb
Democrats and the Populists were both
in session here to-day. They expressed
themselves unanimously in favor OF
again nominating Kolb next year, and
have met to make ready for the cam
paign. The meetings are secret, but
both committees are said to be discuss
ing a proposition for joint primaries
with the Democrats. All white voters
will be allowed to cast ballots, and all
the respective parties will support the
successful candidates.
The Populist committee did not join
with the Jefersonian committee in the
proposition of harmony finally adopted
for submission to the organized Demo-
cratic committee. That proposition is
for universal white primary next
April, with the negro shut out alto
getber. Each side will appoint two
managers and clerks. New State and
county committees will be elected and
State and county officers nominated by
the plurality rule. When the 7espec-
tive executive committees have can
vassed and announced the result, they
shall dissolve and the newly elected
committee take charge OF the united
party.
This is nothing to indicate whether
the organized, or regulars, will accept.
No candidate will be allowed to run
unless be pledges himself against any
law that tends to disfranchise white
men, which is aimed at the new Aus
tralian ballot law. This may prevent
a union, but there is a strong element
among the regulars who will fight for
it's acceptance. The proposition is open
for forty days.
