The Government Learns of the Con-
spiraoy and Gives the Leader the OPP
tion of Leaving the Island or Being
Thrown Into Prison for Treason-He
Chooses the Former Alternative.
San Francisco, Nov. 22.-The steamer
Marposa, which arrived from Honolulu
to-day brought news of an attempt to
overthrow the government by Claud IL.
Wetmore, a newspaper man who formerly
represented New York and Chicago news
papers there Wetmore had several hun
dred royalists connected with him in the
plot, which was to have been sprung the
day after the last steamer from Honolulu,
the Australia, had sailed. on the morn
ing of the steamers departure, Wetmore
was summoned to Attorney General
Smiths office and told that the govern
ment was in possession of full details of
his scheme and he was given the alter
native of departing on the Australia or
being thrown into prison for treason. He
took the former course.
The Mariposa also brings news from
Samoa, Nov. 7, as follows: Peace still
reigns in Samoa, although it is a peace
which would be better described as an
armed neutrality. No native taxes are
forthcoming and the governments current
expenses are met by the proportion of Gus
toms revenue which the great powers have
decided the government is entitled to. Nat
urally the white residents, who solely con-
| tribute towards this branch of revenue
are much disgruntled and the wonder is
that they continue to be law-abiding when
no steps are taken TO enforce native taxa
tion.

HUNaARY's LOVE FOR KossUTH.
The Son of the Patriot Abandons His
Proposed Tour of the Country.


Buda Pesth. Nov 2.-Franz Kossuth, son
Of the late Hungarian patriot Louis Kos
suth, has abandoned his tour Of Hungary
on account Of the excitement it has Gre

Kossuth by Deputy Busbach, who de-
clared that Kossuth had attacked the

WITH THE ELECTRICIANS.

TIE electrical papers talk hopefully
of better times in electrical as well as
other industrial lines of business.
THE manufacture OF mica plates for
insulating purposes is now carried on
in France. These artificial plates are
composed of small pieces Of mica, ce-
mented together with gum lac dis
solved in alcohol.
IF advanced electricians are not al.
together too sanguine we may soon be
able to carry on telegraphic communi-
cation without wires. Mr.. Preece, the
eminent English electrician, in re-
cent paper, gave it as his opinion that
it would be quite easy to speak be-
tween France and England across the
straits of Dover without any metallic
connection.
The first link in the chain Of cleo
trio railways which will eventually
connect New York and Philadelphia is
now we'll under way. The Philadelphia
division. between Bristol and Trenton,
thirty-four miles in length, has been
surveyed, and that section alone will
include amile of bridge work. The
contracts for construction, it is said.
will soon be let, and the work viii Ia
pushed 10 IN early completion.

HAWAII DETERMINED
To Resist Any Attempt to Restore the
Monarchy.


Monarchy.
New YORK, March ga special Ia
the Tribune from Colfax, Wash, says:
A letter received by the last Honolulu
mail by James Good. of this city, from
his brother, Capt. Goodee, commanding
the national guard of Hawaii confirms
the report that Secretary Gresham
has received advices of the British in
trigues in Honolulu. Capt. Goode
says.
"The populists may conclRbe to at
tempt something on their own account.
If they do we will easily take care OF
them; but they may make splurge
for few hours and declare Mrs, Dom,
inis again queen with the hope that
Great Britain may sustain her. The
British minister isan intriguer, and all
his family as well as national interests
are bound up in the restoration OF
the monarchy, and should an uprising
take place, he might declare an
alleged monarchy under the British
protection and land men from the En-.
glish man-of-war to sustain it. lfthey
come ashore, we will stamp them into
the earth, no matter what the after
consequences may be. Should such a
collision occur, we believe that the peo.
pie of the United States would compel
the government to sustain us. We are
determined to maintain our position
until annexation is accomplished, and
will fight any foe, either internal
or external, that stands in our way.
We are in fine position from a military
standpoint. My company garrisons
the palace, the vital point. They are
in splendid condition and anything can
be done with them. Perhaps | ought
nos 10 say it, but they are in much
finer state of drill and discipline than
are any of the crews OF the war yes.

MONKEY LANGUAGE.

Prof. Gamers Return After Four Years
Residence Among the Gorillas Of Africa.
Devoted to the Careful Study Of the
Language Of tho Various Tribes of the
Monkey Kingdom Another Trip Pro-
jected.
New YORK, March 26.-Prof. p L.
Garner, who has been in Africa two
years studying the language of the
gorillas, arrived in New York on the
Etruria. lie expressed himself as well
pleased with the results of his investi-
cations, and will make another trip
to continue the study. He proposes
to visit the same part of the Dark
Continent again, and to get there at
the beginning of the dry season of
1895. He will plant his cages in two
places near the scene of his former Ia
bors, spending almost six weeks in
each place. Then he will take .
month to explore the Apinji country
and investigate the race Of dwarfs
that are said to live there.
The region from which Prof. Garner
returns is in the west central part OF
Africa, just below the equator. He
said that he was confirmed in the
theories that he had previously ad-
vanced concerning the language OF
monkeys. His efforts were directed
almost entirely toward an understand.
ing of the language of gorillas and he
learned many things about their habits
hnt nkv-1, % ho al Mt ~
naturalists Among these he mentions
the fact that the gorilla is carnivo-
rous beast and is especially fond Of
chickens, rats and small animals as an
article of diet.
Prof. Garner says he is obliged to re-
fute many statements about gorillas
that naturalists are in the hab bit of MAX
ing. He says he has about completed his
studies of monkeys, and will hereafter
direct his attention to the anthropoid
ape with view to showing the philo-
logical relation between their language
and the language of men.
Prof. Garner did not find his cage
complete protection against the attacks
of gorillas, but it was strong enough to
keep them at bay until he could shoot
them.
While in the interior he made de-
tour to visit the enchanted lake called
M'Buiri MPolo by the natives, which
had never before been seen by white
man. The lake is about four days
journey from the west coast, in ~
degrees south latitude, and is re.
markable for the mirages seen upon it..

KNOWS NOTHING OF IT,
The Alleged Intervention In Behalf Of
the brazilian Rebels.

The Alleged intervention In BehAf OF
the brazilian Rebels.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-Secrctary
Gresham says he knows nothing OF a
concerted action on the part of the
governments of the United States,
Great Britain and Italy, requesting
President Peixoto to grant clemency
to Brazilian rebels now on board the
Portuguese war ship. 1t is regarded
as uncomfortable that Minister Thomp-
son could have joined with other pow
ers in such action without instruc-
tions from Washington, and no such
instructions have been asked for or
given.
These are matters in which the
United States has always declined to
interfere. When the emperor of Aus
tria asked the good offices of the
United States on behalf of his brother,
the unfortunate Maximilian, in Mex
leo, Mr.. Seward simply transmitted
the request to the Mexican govern
ment, explicitly disclaiming any right
of recommendation or interference.
The situation of Da Cana and his
officers on a Portuguese ship of war
is concededly delicate one, involving
possible difficulties between Brazil and
Portugal, and Minister Thompson's re-
cent record hardly permits belief
that he would take any steps in the
premises without specific directions
from Secretary Gresham.

KILLED HER FATHER
To save the Life Of Her Mother, and was
Acquitted.


ATLANTA, Ga, March GA special
to the Constitution from Homer,
Banks county, says that J. +, Willis
was killed last week by his daughter,
Lillian, and his wife. A son testified
at the preliminary trial that his father
came home from work, and setting a
bottle of whisky upon the cupboard,
called for his supper. A difficulty arose
between the father and mother, but
the former sat down before the fire,
when Lillian struck him with an ak,
cutting cash in his skull. Rising up,
Willis threw back his head, and the
mother took the AK from the girl and
cut him across the throat with it.
The girl says she struck the blow af.
ter having cut her fathers throat with
razor, while Willis was choking her
mother to death. After drawing the
razor across the throat of her father,
and seeing that he was not dead, she
picked up the ak and finished him.
Her plea was that she did the deed to
save her mothers life.
A crowd remained anxiously await.
ing the verdict of the jury until Sat
nrday afternoon, when the jury rem.
dcred verdict releasing the girl.
The verdict was met with demonstra-
tions of approval in the court room.
