WILL NOT BE CALLED
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND CAN'T BE
SUBPOENAED
To Testify in the Strike Conspiracy
Cases-He Resides Outside the
Judicial District

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-Neither
President Cleveland nor any of the
eastern railroad men comprising the
general managers association will be
called to California to testify in the
strike conspiracy cases now on trial
here before United States District
Judge Morrow. The deaence sought
to prove that the mails were not
stopped by the A. R. U. but through
conspiracy in which President Cleve-
land and the general managers asso-
citation figured and that the calling
out Of troops was an outcome of the
alleged conspiracy. Judge Morrow
ruled that he had no authority to sub
poena any witnesses from any point
outside of the judicial district In

NEWS FROM HAWAII.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-The steam
er Oceanic arrived this morning from
Yokohama via Honolulu. The Oceanic
brings no later Asiatic news than was
received on the Empress Of China,
which arrived in Victoria, November
Goth. At Honolulu there was still
considerable excitement over the re-
cent revolutionary plot Leaders OF
the royalist faction were still declaring
trouble was sure to occur soon after
the sailing Of the Oceanic. Govern
ment officials, however, declared no
trouble need be feared. The conspir-
acy, they said, though it did not at
any time threaten serious trouble for
the government, had been completely
frustrated. AS exposed in the Homo
lulu newspapers, the proposed upris-
ing was planned by a man named
Katzer, formerly an officer in the Aus
trian army, and later a sergeant in
the Fifth United States infantry. 1t
was plan to secretly arm several
hundred royalisr sympathizers, and by
concerted action to capture the gov
ernment execr tive building and the
three Or four small steamers plying
among the islands, then to establish
temporary government at HilO. One
Of the steamers was to be quickly dis
patched to Victoria, B. c., for arms,
ammunition and men who were to
have been previously enlisted by an
agent now in the United States. Sew
eral thousand dollars had been pledged
by wealthy royalists who were impli
Gated. The plot was exposed to the
government, however, long before any
actual revolutionary preparations had
been made. KatZer fed to San Fran
cisco, and Wetmore, a newspaper
man who had been admitted to the
revolutionary circle, and who exposed
the plot to the government, was 6

tensibly he was baIlished, but it Ii

SOME SOUND VIEWS.
New York. Nov. 27.-In an article
entitled "An Essential Condition of
Prosperity" contributed to the De-
cember number CT the North American
Review, which will be published to-
morrow, Hon. J. II. Eckels, comptrol-
Ter of the United States currency, says
thero can be no hope Of an undis-
turbed and substantial prosperity to
all classes until the whole currency
and banking system of the country is
formulated into one harmonious plan
in the principle and emolument Of the
money science. There is scarcely a
single act upon the statute books at
fecting our currency system which has
not placed there to meet some emer-
gency that confronted the country at
tn time, in the belief that the difficulty
might be bridged over. The currency
system of the country resulting from
a constant pascing of experimental
laws has become so confused and un-
sound that Eckels wonders not that
we have suffered much financial dis
aster during the years of its construc-
tion, but that we have suffered SO
little.

Delegate Cahill, of Missouri, intro

tee on permanent organization pre-
sented it's report, naming George Q.
Cannon, of Utah, for permanent pre-
siding officer, with enc vice president
from each state, to be named by it's
delegation. The present secretary, NJ.
G. Butterfeld(, of Oregon, was re-
quested to continue through ahis con-
gress, the executive committee being
instructed to name his successor when
the next place shall be chosen, he to
reside therein. The report was adopt
ed, and President Cannon was escort
ed to the chair. After brief speeches
of congratulation and thanks to the
retiring officer, Mr.. Whitemore, the
congress adjourned for dinner.
The developments of the second
days session of the trans-Mississippi
congress have not been without inter-
est to the advocates of free coinage of
silver, who have been anxious to Sc
cure definite expressions from the con-
gress in favor Of the white metal. The
organization of the committee on reso-
lutions, with Congressman w. J. Bry-
an Of Nebraska as chairman, and E.
A. Marshall CT Texas as secretary, has
been highly delighting. Nevertheless,
there is as yet no certainty that the
matter will go beyond this. In the con-
vertion there is a strong element in
favor Of international free coinage
only, and opposed to any expression
whatever upon the subject by congress.
Whether the bi-metallists will be strong
enough to overcome both these ele.
ments cannot be told. Yet there is a
certainty that the main struggle will
be on this portion of the resolutions
committee report and the battle will
not be q brief one.

GOOD ROADS COMING.

The era of reformation In roads II
upon us, says the Hon. John Heming-
way, Of Iowa The agitation has
reached every state in the Union and
nearly every county in the state. Let
me predict that the next generation
will see all important points In this
county, yes, in this state, connected
by a system Of smooth, hard roads
that will afford perfect footing
throughout the entire year.. The ac-
tive, intelligent, aggressive energy Of
this people will not for another full
generation tolerate q system Of roads
which in spring and fail with unfail-
ing regularity become beds Of bottom
less filth, which bespatters your vehi-
Gle, your horse, your clothes, robs you
of your time and happiness and dis
graces the very face of Gods foot
stool. No, my faith Is too great in
the industry, enterprise and intelli-
gence Of the people to believe that
another twenty years will pass by
without seeing very large proportion
of our main highways so made that
they will present to sunshine and
storm, to frost and heat, a clean and
unruft1ed face throughout the year.
KEEP TT AT HOME.-There is an
immensity of Oregon money sent out
over the mountains and even across
the oceans that might and ought to be
kept at home, where it will get bdck
into and circulate through the varfsus
channels Of trade. One item alone
is a little surprising in its magnitude.
Very few would think that over $780,
600 went out to foreign companies
last year in the shape Of insurance
premiums, yet such is the fact, and
the prort sition at once suggests itself.
how much better it would be If this
money were kept at home. And to a
large extent it might be. There is ne
necessity for sending out dollar for
ordinary insurance so long as the peo-
pie have an Oregon company Of
strength and reliability to carry their
risks. This they have in the Stats
Insurance company, of Salem, COM
posed of many of the strongest men
in the state, a company whose poll
cies are as good as goldbearfng bond
and whose every interest is to do a
clean, honest business with the neigh
bors and friends who are its patrons.
The proper thing to do for an Oregon
ian who is seeking new Insurance or
renewing old policies is to find an
agent Of the State and leave his pre-.
miums at home,

ports from all the Collectors charged with
the registration of Chinese under the Ex-
clusion Act, but it is expected that final
statement can be made soon. One matter
that has given the Collectors vast
amount of trouble has been the efforts of
Chinese to register more than once, and
il is not certain that these efforts have
not in many instances been successful.
In thickly populated portions, where
collection districts cover comparatively
small areas, the scheme has undoubtedly
been worked to considerable extent. A
Chinaman living in New York City
would have no particular difficulty in
registering under another name in any
one or more of the neighboring districts.
and as photograph of one Chlnaman
might readily pass for another, the fraud
is not easily detected. The duplicate cer-
tificates are said to bring good price
among Cinnamon who are not entitled to
register, and so the demand for them is
said to be more or less lively. Under the
law, those who register more than once
can be prosecuted for perjury, as can
their witnesses, and it is the intention of
the officers TO keep a sharp lookout for
such violations, and if caught the Offend
ers will be vigorously prosecuted. 1t IS
believed these Implications will aggregate
anywhere from $50 to 500, or more.
