Where grew the sweet grasses SO loved by us

New York Court Orders an Overhauling
of the Dutcl,ess County Steal.

Albany, N. Y, December 6.-Some
months ago, Judge Edwards refused to
grant the application in the case of the
people ex-rel Platt against Secretary of
State Rice. The application asked that
an order be issued for the members of
the state board of canvassers to show
cause why they should not be punished
for contempt in disobeying the order of
the supreme court which prohibited the
board from canvassing the Mylod, Dutch
ess county, election return in 1891. This
was the time the Democrats secured con-
troll of the state senate by awarding the
Dutchess senatorial seat to the Demo-
cratic candidate on the face of the Mylod
returns. The general term here today
reversed the order of Judge Edwards,
and granted a motion for an order to
show cause.

TALE OF THE SOUTHERN SEAS.
Mutiny and Murder Its Subject-It Is Be
ing Told in Court

Paris, December THE naval tribunal
at Brest began yesterday the trial of AL
exander and Joseph Rorique, brothers,
and another man named Mirey, on the
charge of mutiny and murder. The de-
PENDANTS were members of the crow of
the Minorahitt, vessel belonging to a
Tahitian prince.
In January, 1892, it is said, they mutt
MED, shot the native captain and the En-
glish supercargo, Gibson, and poisoned
six Kanaka seamen. Then thew seized
the vessel, loaded her with various na-
tive products valued at 4O,OOOf. and
changed the ships name. Thev landed
at little-frequented islands. Immersed
Polynesian natives into the crew and
disposed Of the cargo at various nlaces
finally arriving at Penape. The Rorioues
fearing that Mirey could not be trustcd
threatened him with murder Mirev'
who is half-caste, was the cook of tbe
Minorahitt, and it was he who at tbe
suggestion of the other mutineers no;.
soned the food of the Kanakas lrho
threats of murder 80 alarmed Mirev +hat
he made a confession to the goyernment ,t
officials.
The case has caused sensation in
Brest. The precincts of the conrts wara
crowded throughout the day. The acte

EVERYBODY PLEASED.
Lehigh Strikers and Railroad onicials
Claim victory.

Philadelphia, December 5.--At 2.30
o'clock this morning, the Lehigh Valley
strike was declared off. Both sides
claim the victory.
The correspondence which led to- the
termination of the Lehigh Valley strike
was made public this morning, after
Chairman Mcdonald, and Judge Robin
son, of the arbitration boards of New
York and New Jersey had returned from
their last conference with the Lehigh Of
ficials. In letter to President Wilbur,
the arbitrators asked the following:
IF the existing strike is declared off,
will the Lehigh Valley Railroad Compa-
ny agree to take back as many of their
old employees as they have places for,
without any prejudice on account of the
fact that they struck or that they are
members of any labor organization? that
in re-employing men formerly in the SER
vice the available time shall be so divid-
ed among the men so re-employed that
they may feel they are again in the SER
vice of the company and dsef-supporting?
that in making promotions hereafter the
company will make no distinction as be-
tween men now in its employ and those
SO re-employed, on account of the Sc
niority in service or otherwise? that
committees from the various classes of
employees from the branch of service in
which an aggrieved party is employed
will be received and their grievance con-
sidered and justly treated? and that in
employing men in the future the compa=
ny will give the preference to former em-
ployes when the strike is declared off?s'
President Wilbur, in reply, said: "The
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company agree
to the suggestions made, and in event of
the strike being declared off, will abide
by them. We recognize and willingly
respond to your notifications of our
former understanding that the available
time may be divided SO that the men re-
employed may have some certain source
of support"
The company also agreed to conform
to the rules posted by Mr.. VOORHEES,
August I last, as vice president of the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Com
pany,

THE LOSS OF THE JASON.
Story of the Only Survivor of the Crew
of Twenty-Seven.

Highland Light, December G.-When
light came on this morning it was seen
that the ship Jason had broken in two
amidships, her main and nizzenmasts
were gone and every man but one of the
26 comprising her crew were lost. The
ship is total wreck. Up to noon no
bodies had been recovered.
Samuel J. Evans, the only survivor.
tells the following story: ''We came in
through South channel last Monday
Tuesday morning the wind pulled out to
the east southeast and at 8 it began to
snow. We had no observation for two
days, but the captain thought we were
took in all upper sails and laid the ship
under the three lower topsails and fore
stay-sails.
''At $50 in the afternoon we made
breakers right under our lee and a few
moments later saw the land. We shook
out the upper topsails and tried to drive
by the Cape, but had no sea room, and at
7.15, finding we must strike the ship was
headed for the beach. The captain had
been below examining the charts. On
reaching the deck he cried, we are
lost The ship struck with fearful
force and we all sprang for the lifeboats.
Before we could cut the lashings the
spars began to fall and the vessel to 90

WHILE WILLIS WAITS
A Honolulu Paper Points Out the Pecul-
iarity of His Position.

Port Townsend, Wash, December g.
Honolulu advices say that the Honolulu
Commercial Advertiser of the 18th of
November, two days after Willis sent out
a statement to the public relative to in
structions from Washington and his
determination to await further advices
before attempting to execute orders,
came out in strong editorial and said !:
United States Minister Willis was no
doubt accurately reported the other day
when he declared that until he heard
from Washington, no change will take
place in the present situation nor will
any be allowed. He added that any at
tempt to make trouble would be prompt
ly checked and punished. Z Were the
representative of any other power near the
Hawaiian government to make such
declaration there is no doubt that not
only this government but the United
States would resent it in most ener-
getic manner as an unlawful interference
in the internal affairs of this, an inde-
pendent nation. We do not question the
propriety Of Mr.. Willis's declaration; we
simply point out that the government of
the United States holds itself charged
with the special duty of maintaining
public order and security in Hawaii To
this extent at least America already ex-'
ercises a partial protectorate over this
country. Ex-Minister Stevens was mere
ly performing and obeying a standing or
der of the State Department issued in
1887 by Secretary Bayard to the Ameri-
can Minister in Honolulu and caused it
to be given to the naval forces there
whenever necessary for the maintenance
of public order. Mr.. Stevens has been
abused by the present administration for
obeying President Cleveland's explicit
~ I0rc, D. L ~
for his interposition last January, then
much more is Mr.. Willis to be censured
for threatening to punish disturbers of
the peace which Mr.. Stevens never did.

NOT A BLAZE OF GLORY.
Boss hekane Sat in the Light Of His
Diamonds Instead.
HE is NOW ACCUSED OF BUYING
UP EVIDENCE FOR HIMSELF.

He Regards the Court Proceedings as
Wearying and Thinks the Very Air
Seems Oppressive-The Appearance of
the Clergymen and Other Gentlemen
Who McKane Says He Feared Would
Inaugurate Anarchy in Gravesend.
New York, December 6.-Chief of
Police John Y.McKane of Gravesend
again appeared yesterday before Justice
Barnard of the Supreme court in the pro-
ceedings against him for contempt of
court in refusing to accept the mandate
OF the Supreme court at the last election.
McKane's defence is that he feared that
the town wouldsbe invaded by lawless
people attempting to subvert the will of
its people and for this reason he had q
large force of police there, but he denies
any unlawful act. McKane smiled con-
tinually and appeared to be in on good
terms with himself. Throughout the
proceedings he was seif-possessed, and
apparently was not disturbed the least
by any thought of an adverse decision
from Justice Barnard that would result
IN his occupying prison cell. McKane
did not seem to be impressed with the
gravity of his position. He was relying
with absolute confidence on the ability
of his counsel to secure his discharge by
overwhelming the prosecution with the
affldavits testifying to his probity, good
conduct, and re lard for the law. In his
immaculate white shirt front sparkled a
three-carat diamond stud. Diamonds
also glistened from the center of his cuff
buttons. and on finger of his left hand
sparkled large diamond of which he
is proud. From the collar button above
his white necktie another small sparkle
was seen. From his vest dangled a
massive gold linked watch chain.
Justice Barnard was alone on the bench.
He listened to the reading of the
affidavits. with interest.
Many affidavits were submitted on
both sides. The affidavits off cred by the
prosecution in rebuttal of McKane's
aff1davits, created something like sem
sation IL. the courtroom. These affidavits
in effect. stated that some of McKane's
