THEY SHOT FIRST.
Then They Asked for Money and Got
Nearly One Thousand Dollars.

Walla Walla, WASH. November IA
daring bank robbery, with an attempt to
murder the president of the Bank of
Milton, occurred at Milton, Oregon, ten
miles south of this city yesterday. At 8
O'Clock, when few persons were on the
street, three men we'll mounted, without
attracting any special attention, rode lei
surely into town and dismounted at the
door of the Bank ef Milton. Two en-
tered the bank, while, the third stood
guard outside and held tho horses. Pres
ident A. Hopson, Cashier N. A. Davis
and Assistant Cashier William Hopson
were in the bank at the time. The first
lntimation of the coming of the robbers
they had was when two shots were fired
by the intruders before making any ver-
bal demand. Both shots took effect in
President Hopson's body, inficting pain
full flesh wounds and telling him to the
floor. The revolver was held SO close to
the head of Cashier Davis that the con-
cussion knocked him down. The rob-
bers then demanded money from William
Hopson. He handed them tray of
counter change containing $944.25. TAX
ing this, they left Immediately without
an attempt to get the cash in the vault.
The noise of the shots spread the alarm,
and within five minutes an armed and
mounted posse was in pursuit but all
traces were lost after short distance.
The weather was very foggy. and it was
impossible to see more than 200 wards.
One of the robbers was identified as A.
Mccarthy.

the proportion of bad debts among the

IF Congress had acted promptly in re-
pealing the silver bill, we might have
recovered the ground previously lost;
but the long delay at Washington killed
the fall trade upon which we had based
our hopes of recovery.
Although the company has assets
much moro than sufficient to pay its
creditors in full. it found itself with in
sufficient capital to run the business on
scale sufficient to make dividends for its
stockholders; and with some of its cred
ltors pressing for payment of their de-
mands more rapidly than the assets
could be realized upon so as to NEE
them.
Owing to the slowness of collections it
was impossible to continue to meet obi
cations as they fell due. Under these
circumstance a suspension and receiver
ship were the only course open for the
protection of all interests, creditors and
stockholders alike.',.

A Honolulu Merchant Says the whites

Tacoma, WASH, November AS. W.
Harvey, a Honolulu banana dealer, who
arrived by the Canadian Australian
steamer Warrimore, says: "a company
of 800 whites have been drilling with
Winchester rifles for long time in an

doubt but that there will be plenty of
bloodshed. The friends of the Provision

that the Royalists, ii reinstated, will be
more offensive than ever. This offensive
ness is exactly what would cause the
trouble. IT the Americans and other
warships do not turn in and hold the
town of Honolulu down there will surely
be bloodshed when the Royalists come
into power. There is no telling what
would become of business under such a
change. The prospect is not hopeful

The War in the Harbor of Rio Going Mer

The War in the Harbor of Rio Going Mer-
rily On.
New York, November IA special
cable to the World from Rio Janeiro
says:
''The situation of affairs in and around
this city is extremely complicated. The
insurgents certainly have some land
forces near Iguassa, a town situated on
" a few miles, west of Rio, under the
command of Generals Portella and Pero-
gibe. The Argentine vessel Pedro has
delivered already a part of her cattle to
the rebels. The Aquidaban has been
rejuvenated, and her speed has been
greatly increased. Villegagnon emptied
her batteries today on ST. John woods
and heights. Shells burst around the
drawbridge at quarters, and several
shots fell into the fortress of Villegag-
non, destroying trenches and barricades.
There was heavy cannonading from
Mucangue, Santa Anna, Mahuray and
Sac Lourenco. There was heavy firing
all last night. By the glare of the search
lights on the hills the warships were
able to train their guns on the marine
and war arsenals. Topordo gunboats
attacked Nictheroy unsuccessfully.
There was furious fusilade for several
hours today, and it is claimed that 1000
men were landed by the rebels above
Mahuray. Forces fromlVillegagnon also
attacked the land forces at Santa Luzia.
The war aresnai and Miseri Cordia hos
pital district was the scene of a regular
battle for an hour Or so. The attacks on
the marine and war arsenals were re-
pelled.'

PROHIBITION A cHlMERA.
The Opinion of Episcopal C1ergymen Who
Discussed the Saloon Question.

New York, November 14.-The 18th
annual congress of the Episcopal church
opened with Holy Communion at St.
Bartholomew church. Bishop Dudley of
Kentucky occupied the chair at the
opening proceedings. An address of
welcome was delivered by lRt. Rev. Will
liam Lawrence, D. D., Bishop of Massa-
chusetts. There was large attendance
of prominent ministers. The congress
took up the question, "What Shall Be
Done with the Saloon?" The clergy
men who spoke did not hesitate to say
boldly that prohibition was chimera,
and the only true solution of the prob
lem lay in saloons which combined
amusement features and an air of home.
saloons not run for profit by private indi-
viduals but by the state, to strengthen
the moral tone of the lower classes.

UNDER SEARCH LIGHTS GLARE,
Terrified Moors Beaten Down by a Shower
of Shot and Shell.


London, November 14.-A Melilla cor
respondent telegraphs as follows under
date of Monday night: At II O'Clock
last evening, electric search lights of the
Spanish cruisers Alfonso XII. and Conde
de Venadito suddenly illuminated the
whole country around, taking the Moors
by surprise. A terrible cannonade was
opened by the warships and forts at the
same moment. The terrified Moors
could be seen running about like mad
men, seeking shelter in caves. Many
were killed. Today a company of Span
ish cavalry made an excursion into the
country,s going farther than any other
Spanish troops have gone since the war
opened, meeting with no opposition. 1t
is believed serious operations will begin
this week.

The Dusky Queen and the Sugar King
Both Hoping for CIeveIand's Aid.
New York, November IA San
Francisco despatch to the New York
Press says:
Passengers by the steamship China
from Honolulu, which arrived today, re-
port that the white people of Hawaii are
unanimously in favor of the new provis-
ional government The Queens abdica-
tion was the result of scandalous immo-
ralities and her own violation of the con-
stitution. 1t is impossible to find any
one FROM Hawaii who supports the Queen
orsblames her late ministers for establish
ing the provisional government. That ex-
Minister Stevens and the Boston's
marines took any part in the revolution
or even indirectly aided it is denied by
every one who has been in Honolulu, ex-
cept Cleveland's commissioner, Mr.
BlOunt.
The deposed Queen has some secret
means of ascertaining the intentions Of
the Cleveland administration. The day
before the China sailed there was meet
ing of her supporters, including her
paramour, and word was passed round
that she was to be restored to the throne
by American intervention on Wednesday,
November 8, the day after the China
sailed.
Her supporters were jubilant. The
whites were correspondingly depressed.
Every newspaper printed in Honolulu is
opposed to the restoration of the mon
archy. If annexation to the United
States is not possible the people ask that
political affairs be left in statu quo.
The Hawaiians are ready for the expert
ment Of self-government. They would
welcome annexation to the United States,i
but they do not ask for assistance, sup
port OF American arms.
/ Claus Spreckels, the sugar king, has
many agents who have been zealously
working to restore the Queen. 1t is open
ly asserted in Honolulu that President
Cleveland has yielded to Spreckels's in
fuence. He has a monopoly of the sugar
business on the Pacific coast and under
an arrangement with the Sugar Trust
Of New York makes 81, 200, 900 a year out
of his monopoly. IF Hawaii were an
nexed the immense stlgar crop OF the
islands would be admitted free at San
Francisco and the Spreckels MONOPOLY
would be ended. The whole Pacific coast
would have cheaper sugar thereby.
The next steamer from Hawaii, the
Australia, is due next Thurs day and
should bring news of Minister Willis's
action under the secret Cleveland in
structions. -

RAISED THE REBEL FLAG.
Signs that Pernambueo Has Gone
Over to MellO's Side.
BRAZILIAN ROYALISTS ABROAD
OPENING THEIR MONEY BAGS.

The Duke of Montpensier Said to Have
of the Empire Helping Pay for Fight
ing Vessels for Mello-Reports from
Rio of Damage by the Bombardnient
Evidently Exaggerated.
London, November 14.-The Times
says it has received private information
that the governor Of the state of Pernam-
buco, Brazil, has ordered all telegraphic
communication between Pernambuco
and Rio Janeiro stopped. This is regarded
as proof that Pernambuco has de-
clared against Peixoto. The Times says
it has also received information that ssthe
artillery fire on Rio Janeiro ceased
Tuesday.
The European hackers of the Brazilian
insurgents are pouring out gold by the
millions, in the hope that Admiral Mello
may overthrow the republic. Recent re-
ports that the Brazilian government has
been strengthening It's feet by the pur-
chase of vessels in Germany.have aroused
the monarchists to greater e1ertions than
ever.
Two days ago a report came from Ber-
lin that an agent of President Peiyoto
had purchased five fast seagoing vessels
from the Schichan shipbuilding yards,
at Elbing, and would fit them out as
war ships as the representatives of the
republic are fitting out the vessels pur-
chased in the United States. They were
it is said. to be fitted as torpedo boats.
The monarchists at once went down in
to their money bags. Antonio and
Eduardo Prado,s who were among the old
leaders in Sac Paulo, and who represent
the imperial family in Paris, have been
among the most.liberal contributors, and
they are reported to have offered 10000
pounds more for one vessel, which the re-
publlc's agents were after, than the gov
ernment had felt authorized to bid.
The Prados have been prominent among
the European hackers of the insurgents
ever since the move against Peixoto be-
gan to take shape. They have immense
financial backing, and, while they have
been able for long time to keep the in
surrectionists supplied with cash, they
have, since the reported purchase of
shlpsln Germany, been supplied with
still greater resources. The Duke of
Montpensier is said to have placed an
enormous amount of money in their
hands, one report fixing the amount at
1,000,0 900 pounds. The Duke according
to general belief, has a more or less per-
sonal interest in the fortunes of Admiral
Mello He is descendant of Louis
Philippe, and hence is bound by family
ties to the Count d'Eu.
The Prados, it is said, have been
authorized to expend the 1,000 600 pounds
which the Duke contributed in the pur-
chase of powerful iron-clads for the in
sugents
It is believed here that the firing by
Admiral Mello's feet upon Rio sde
Janeiro has done little damage. Some of
the reports of the affair have carried the
report said that powder magazine in
Nlctheroy had been blown up, with
serious consequences. This part of the
story, at any rate, is not true, as there
are no powder magazines there.

DIEDAT HER POST.
School Teacher Burned to Death With
Two of Her Pupils.

Buffalo, N. Y, November 14.-The
school at Coopersville caught fire this
afternoon shortly after recess, and was
entirely burned. Miss Porter, the teach
er, and two little boys were burned up.
There were 80 children in the building.
The others escaped with burns and
bruises. An overheated stove set the
place on fire. Miss Porter could have
saved herself, but remained to get the
children out, and fell into the flames
while trying to save the two children
who were burned with her.

Cabinet Rumors.

Washington, November IA story,
WAS spread broadcast last night, which
seems to have had it's origin in gossip at
the Metropolitan club in this city, that
there were strong dissensions in the
Cabinet on the Hawaiian situation. The
rumor was definite as to the Cabinet
officers who were not in accord with the
administration and named Secretaries
Hoke Smith and Morton. It was stated
that they had rendered their designations
at past. cabinet meeting or would do
SO at the next one Secretary Morton
was seen late last night at the Portland
and he gave an absolute denial to the
rumor, stating that he had not resigned,
and that he had never thought of doing
so. 1t can be further said that Secretary
Morton is in accord with the President
on his Hawaiian policy and that Secre
tary Hoke Smith has not in any manner
given public expression to a disagree
ment, or given reason to suppose that the
entertains opinions differing from those
of the President on the matter.
