More About Haw all.

OMAHA, February 4.-Lorin A. Thurston,
chairman of the Hawaiian commissioners.
while here on their way to Washington, gave
some additional particulars in regard to the
revolution. Before leaving he said: ct
has gone abroad that the cry for annexaA
ton is IN the interest of the sugar in
terests is all wrong. The sugar men
know nothing about it and they are not
in favor of annexation, except As it will
be the only means to save the islands from
anarchy. The great fault of the queen was
that she did not wish to reign as a constitu-
tional monarch. We would have been fully
satisfied to pattern our governme after
that of Great Britain, and We tried to do
50, but the queen would not have 1t. She
was interested in the cry, Hawaii for the
Hawaiians.' Now the Europeans and the
Americans pay nearly all the taxes, and
they do not propose that the natives shall
have the spending of the money they con-
tribute. That is what the natives want to
do"
ION what terms do you wish to be an
nexeo to the United States?"
sit is probable we shall ask to come in az
territory"

Ontfons and Futures.

WASHINGTON. d. c., February 1.-The
''anti-option bill" 90 called Is designed to
suppress ''short selling" of farm products.
1t does not place any restrictions on the
sale for future delivery of product which
is actually in possession of the seller or which
the seller has contracted for to be delivered
to him at some future time. It provides
for licensing all dealers in ''options" and
fixtures" an annual fee of 81 900 to be paid
by each dealer and for collecting tax of
twenty cents q bushel on all grain and Eve
cents a pound on all cotton, hops, grass seed,
fax seed, pork, lard, bacon and other edible
products of swine, which are sold for future
delivery by parties who do not possess the
articles thus sold. These taxes are of course
prohibitory, the object being to tax ''short
selling" out of existence.
The friends of this bill in congress with
a numerous lobby have been working hard
for years to secure legislation on the sub
ject. The strongest supporters of the bill
are Hatch in the house, Washburn in the
senate and c. Wood Davis in the lobby.
The bill passed the house June by a vote
of 16S to As. Some amendments have been
attached to it, which will necessitate its re-
turn to the house for final action.

The Sioux Racket.

OMAHA, Mr., February "A number Of
cowboys belonging at the beef camp of Isaac
Humphreys, government contractor, located
on White river about twenty five miles north
west Of Pine Ridge, returned from town in
a drunken condition. During the evening
they became Quarrelsone and mistreated
and injured an Indian named Two Sticks,
driving him from the camp and firing re-
volvers at him. Two Sticks returned later
reinforced by a number of relatives and
friends and commenced deadly fire on the
cowboy camp, killing three and MORALLY
wounding the fourth man, who has since
died.
Captain Brown, the acting agent at Pine
Ridge, instructed the police to bring in the
murderers. The latter were camped down
near No-Water's camp, close to the hill.
When the police first came upon them the
Indians fired once on the police. when the
latter commenced to fire. The police each
picked out a man and fired, with the result
Of five killed. No-Water then came up to
the police, telling them they had had all
they wanted, and the best way now was to
drop it. Three of the Indians got away. and
a squad of policemen were sent after them.

PANS. Tex, February 3.-Henry Smith,
tlack, was some time ago dubbed by Police
man Vance and he swore vengeance.
he took Vance's babe, 81 years old, to Q
pasture, assaulted her and then tore her
limb from limb. He escaped to his old
homo in Arkansas, was pursued and cap
tured.
When passing Texarcana a mass of people
assembled and speeches were made.
At Paris, the news of his capture having
reached here, there was assembled . vast
crowd; coming in on crowded trains, With
demands for specisls; while the whole sur
rounding country was assembled.
The negro was placed on . carnival float,
which was paraded through the city. The
procession stopped at q platform ten feet
high, upon which the victim ives placed.

Is it Veal or Woe?

LONDON. February a-The home rule bill
drawn by Mr.. Gladstone proposes an Irish
legislature consisting of members elected
by counties and members elected by gen.
eral suffrage. The two orders will SIT
and vote together. The measure provides
for genuine autonomy, while at the same time
the ascendancy OF the imperial parliament
is fully maintained. Parliament will have
the right to vote upon the powers of the IRISH
body. but not in such a way as TO nullify the
actions of the latter. The Irish parliament
will be given control over the police an
Judiciary, and ultimately over the questions
relating to land.
The suffrage system is TO be overhauled
through the entire United Kingdom, and
this will have the effect in Ireland of nearly
doubling the roll of those entitled to vote.
The bill proposes that the imperial parlia-
ment shall have control of the land question
for ten years, while Messrs. Sexton, Dillon
and Mccarthy think that three Is about long
enough. On the whole the measure is likely
to give general satisfaction to the home rule
element.

A RefoIndor Mad0.


Upon assembling of the Kansas house Of
representatives next morning after Speaker
Dunsmore's letter was given to Speaker
Douglass. the latter read Dunsmore's letter.
It concludes with desire to consider propo-
sitions of compromise, conditioned that the
integrity of the legislature as now organized
and the acts of the executive in relation
thereto shall not be brought into question.
The reading of Dunsmore letter by Doug
lass, and his reply thereto was intently lls-
tened to by both sides.
Mr.. Douglass reply reasserts the legal Or
ganizatiOn of the majority of the house, tho
alleged illegal organization of the minority
under Speaker DunsmOre: criticised certain
expressions of the latter in his letter and
argued for the jurisdiction of the courts
in the case; which Dunsmore had denied.
Douglass letter concludes thus:
l have always boon ready and still am to
confer with yourself or any member with
view to securing an honorable adjustment
islation may proceed. But any adjustment
which involves assent to the extraordinary
and revolutionary methods whereby the
body over which yon preside was organized,
Is and will remain an lmpossibilIry.
The members of the lawful house of rep.
resentstives propose to maintain to the end
the laws and constitution of Kansas. They
are willing to negotiate upon matters of less
moment. but they will never sacrifice their
obligations to the state and people they rep
resent. Worlds fair bills and other le9isla.
ton are as much desired by them a. by your
self; but above and beyond all else their
duty is to preserve, to the full limit of their
power, the principle of constitutional liberty
which is now at stake.
Let there be no misunderstanding, there
fore, as to their position. With the best of
personal feeling. beg leave to assure you
that the constitutional house of representa-
tives is here to perform the high duties en-
trusted to it oy the people and here it will
remain. Very respectfully yours,
GEO. L. DOUGLASS, Speaker.

with tho Agricultural college and the State
university. The legislature is to appropriate
sufficient money each year to meet tho ex-

HEAVY BUSINESS.
Actual Trade is Great While
Fears Are Large.
Congressional Uncertainties Cause
Cautious and Conservative Trans-
actions Railroad Traffic Very
Great-Cash Receipts Large From
Interior.

New YORK, February 6.-R. G. Dun d Co. 3
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The actual business is surprisingly large
for the season, and yet the fears about the fu-
ture are also large. Congressional uncertain
ties cause the fears, but prosperity and the
needs of the people make business what it is,
and never before has the distribution Of
products to consumers been larger than it
has been thus far this year. Yet it is prob
ably safe to say that rarely. if ever, except
in a time of panic, has business been moro
cautiously and conservatively regulated.
Monetary uncertainties are excused by the
continued outgo of gold, but the passage of
tho anti-optlons bill oy the senate has had
no effect upon the market as yet. While
there is much cutting of rates by the rail-
roads and the movement has been greatly
interrupted in the west by severe storms, the
volume of traffic astonjshe. the Icanagers.
The wonderful demand for textile fabrics
is undated: for brown and unbleached cot
tons the market Is said to be the best for
twenty years and some makes of sheetings
have advanced. The trade is low and me-
dunn grades of mems woolens about closing
at the time when it is usually op ming, and
while the demand for fine goods is less

mated value by invoice shows fully 5000
worth of goods recovered from houses and
other hiding places IN La Junta that were
stolen by the Santa Fe trainmen on the
south division.
Each day develops stronger evidence of
the extensivness of the conspiracy, showing
that it was known to hundreds of people,
who have shared in the spoils, and took im-
mediate steps to remove the property from
the houses of arrested men and secrete it
elsewhere before the officers could make
searches
Such acts have le1 20 the implication of
parties who might have otherwise escaped
detection. Goods have now been recovered
from every arrested man in Jail in this city.

of q cold morning made havoc of much
property.

papers, the Christian Advocate, the Waif,
the Weekly Call, the Epworthian and tho
Daily Populist.
The fire started in tall row of shelves in
the workshop of the Smith concern. As the

Office only by frame partition, a fire was
soon raging over the whole first floor, and
was making swift progress upwards.

These men were going to Homestead on a

rioters had no business there. Even if the
Pinkerton men were going there without
com missions, they were justified in doing so,
and no one has a right TO question it in this
