It Is Said That the State Department Has
4 No Doubt of 1t.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-At the state
department it was said that the newspa-
pers had been given everything in the
Hawaiian matter except instructions to
Mr.. Willis. It was stated that there
would be no information on this given
out, and that the instructions would be
made public in Honolulu and come to
this country from over the sea. The real
important part of the instruction is re-
garding the question of force, and
whether or not the minister is authorized
to use the naval force of the United
States to restorea the queen. At the
department there is the greatest reti-
cence on this point and nothing
can be said with much defniteness
It is asserted, however, that the admin
istration has not the least doubt but
what Queen Liliuokalani has been
peaceably restored to the throne.
Coupled with this statement is another
to the effect that the information re-
ceived on the Australia was highly salts
factory and showed just the progress
that was expected. Belief was expressed
that the change had already been &C
complished and that the next steamer
would bring the important information
that Minister Willis had carried out his
instructions and that the restoration of
the queen was complete. 1t is said that
no instructions from the department had
been forwarded on the China.

BISMARCK, Nov. 22.-The supreme
court has decided the case of the trus-
tees of the agricultural college at Fargo,
wherein Governor Shortridge attempted
to remove the old board and appoint
new members. He justified his removal
under the public examiner act of 1898,
which he claimed vested the power in
him. Under the decision no such au-
thority has been granted him by the leg
islature, and the only place to accomp-
lish this object is in court of competent
jurisdiction. The title to the offices held
by the board appointed by Governor
Burke is confirmed and they will con-
hnue to hold until such time as removed
by court or until their successors are
nominated by the governor and con-
frmed by the senate.

ing, even as to official dispatches from

Done Up the Brokers.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. 22.-The
supreme court has reversed the decision
of the criminal court of Jackson county,
by which J. A. Williamson, Kansas
City letter carrier, was last April SEN
fenced to two years in the penitentiary
for embezzlement. In December, 1899,
Williamson sold his months time to a
broker, signing contract agreeing to
act as agent for the broker and deliver
him his salary when it became due.
Many other employees of the postoffice
did the same, but when the salaries were
paid them they refused to turn them
over to the brokers'. Williamson was
indicted by the grand jury and the case
appealed to the supreme court. The
case was test one, and the decision will
remove the greatest protection the
money brokers enjoyed.

Tho Hawaiian Minister Defends the Pro-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-In an inter-
view Mr.. Thurston, the Hawaiian min
lister, defends the provisional government,
and intimates that many of the state
'ments made by Mr.. Blount in his report
are untrue, especially those in regard to
the landing of troops from the Boston
and the action of Minister Stevens dur
ing the revolution. He gives detailed
account of the revolution, and says it
was organized and conducted by the
leading men of the islands, with no as
sistance from Minister Stevens or United
States troops whatever; that the troops
were simply landed to protect United
States citizens and the legation building.
In closing his interview he says:
cit is unnecessary for me to here state
the details of the bitter constitutional
conflict which had been carried on be-
tween the queen and the legislature dur
ing the seven months prior to January
last or to speak of the intense indigna-
ton existing among all classes of citi-
zens by reason of the open and success
full alliance Of the queen with opium and
lottery rings. The political liberties of
the people had been trampled upon and
their moral sense shocked. It simply
needed the added provocation Of the
arbitrary attempt to abrogate that con-
stitution and disfranchise every white
man in the country to spontaneously
crystalize opposition into a force that
was irresistible.
''In reply to the sheer that the persons
taking part in the movement were
aliens, I would say that every man of
them was by the laws Of the country a
legal voter whose right to the franchise
was by the proposed constitution to be
abrogated; large proportion of them
were born in the country and almost
without exception those who were not

owned property there and had made it

The Brutal Assailant Of q Four
Year-Old Girl Hung by

MAYOR ORDERS THEM TO DISPERSE,

Villain.

OTTUMwA, Ia, Nov. 22.-Fred Gus
taveson, laborer, aged 80, who re-
Gently came to this city, was hanged by
q mob on the main street of Ottumwa at
2:30 p. m. He had enticed the Agar
old daughter of Jonas Sax into the room
of boarding house and criminally as
saulted her. The child, although horri-
bly, maltreated, was able to drag herself
home, but now lies at the point of death.
During the afternoon Gustaveson was
brought to Justice TRUTHS Office for pre-
iminary examination. In the office a
fight ensued between the father, grand
father and other relatives of the child,
and the officers. The culprit was
finally
Wrested From the Officers
and dragged out of the office Here the
mother and child stood with a rope and
gave it into the hands of the mob. It
was Immediately placed around the
wretch's neck, and he was hanged to the
bannister of the outside stairway lead
ing to the Office. A great crowd had by
this time collected. No effort was made
to cut the villain down. After hanging
IL minutes the rope broke and the body
fell to the ground with a sickening thud
It was then seized by the officers and
hurried to the Jail. The mob, fearing
life was not yet extinct, followed and
demanded the body. Mayor Laforce
assured them that the fellow was dead
and
Ordered Them to Dispense.
Still they refused to do so. Finally a
committee from the crowd was selected
to view the remains, which they did.
Upon report from the committee that
life was extinct the mob dispersed. For
time it looked as if the mob would not
be satisfied until 1t had taken another
life. The trial of Ed Walton for the
murder of a young girl by malpractice
began during the morning in Judge
Babb's court. When the mob made a
break for the Jail some one yelled "Let's
get Walton" but he had been spirited
away by the officers and no further
trouble ensued.

Terrible Holocaust in q Hotel at

1 SUSPICION OF NCENDTARISM.
No Indications of a Fire Ten Min
utes Before the Fire Broke
Out.

PrrTsBURa, Nov. ga special from
Beaver, Pa, says: A disastrous fire oc-
Cured at Merrill station, on the Cleve-
land and Pittsburg road, at 4:3O a. m,
resulting in the total destruction OF the
three-story hotel owned by the proprie-
tors, Bradley & Keener, who boarded
many of the men employed on the new
dam. The fire was discovered at slid
ing door between the hall and room
used by q Mr.. Ray as store and
postoffice. At 4:10 the structure fell.
There were IS boarders sleeping on the
second and third floors, many of whom
jumped from the windows and were
badly cut, bruised and burned. After
census of the boarders could be taken it
was found
Six Were Missing.
Henry Walker, son Of Barney Walker,
is badly burned, and James VIM OF
Beaver Falls sustained fractured
shoulder by jumping from the third
story window. He was taken to Mercy
hospital. James Sheer Of Sewickley
has badly burned about the face and
hands.
The proprietors, Frank J. Bradley and
Robert P. Kenny, were formerly dis
patchers in the Pittsburg office Of the
Pittsburg and Erie road, but built the
hotel shortly after the new dam was
started, and ha, 9 run it ever since. The
building cost 81, 900, and is insured in the
Continental of New York for 81 800.
Five bodies have been taken from the
ruins, but are SO badly charred that they
cannot be identified. Search is being
made for the missing body, supposed to
be James Hughes, formerly an engineer
on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie road.
Seven Bodies Recovered.
At 1890 the bodies of James Hughes,
the missing engineer, and James P.
Miller, laborer Of Allegheny City,
we're recovered from the ruins. Both
bodies were burned to a crisp. This
makes seven bodies recovered
A strong suspicion Of incendiarism ex-
lists, founded upon the fact that Night
Waterman McGaffic and the employe at
the dam, who awoke, had passed up and
down the stairway, where the fire
started, within ten minutes of its dis
covery, and no smoke or odor of burn
ing wood was detected at that time.
