RAIDED BY PIRATES.

Rice Junks Attacked Near the Chinese
COast and Crews Killed.
The steamship China arrived yesterday
at San Francisco from China and Japan.
By the China 1t is learned that notwith-
standing the recent additions to war junks
cruising after the pirates along the coast,
the pirates of Fukien and Taichow are still
as numerous and as savage as ever. Some
junks laden with rice were recently board
ed by the pirates near Wenchow, and,
after a desperate fight, twenty-five Of the
crew were killed or seriously wounded.
Anonymous and infammatory placards
have recently been posted in the town of
Yilin, China, which state that China has
everything she needs. and that the mission
aries are teaching no new doctrines to the
people. The missionaries are therefore not
wanted, and an appeal is made calling upon
patriots to collect on a designated day to
kill and destroy"

The G Street Transfer.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

/ have noticed with great satisfaction
the several articles in The Star in refer
ence to the transfer system of the Wash
ington and Georgetown cable road, as an
unjust discrimination against the patrons
of the road who use the 18th street line
These have two fares to pay If they wish
to use the lexington road to the Catholic
University, or intermediate points while
our Georgetown friends and those using
the Pennsylvania avenue line west of 18th
street have only one fare to pay. Why is
this? Is 1t not simply unjust to a very
great number who daily use the 14th street
lire. and are compelled to pay two fares or
walk! N. l.. b.

THE NATTER SETTLED.
Minister Thsrston Declares That Ress
toratfon fs Impossible.

Hawaiian Minister Thurston was inter-
viewed at Omaha yesterday on his way 10
Washington. MIR. Thurston expressed him.
self well satisfied with the way things
are being handled at Hawaii. He was &C
companied by American tourists who III a
been sojourning at Honolulu.
Mr. Thurston said that the provisional
government was gaining friends every day,
and that many Of the natives who had 70
mained neutral up to the present time IN
affairs had taken the oath Of allegiance -
the Dole government. One OF the Oldest
princes on the island had been won over.
and the Bulletin. which had been q strong
royalist paper, had ''hopped," and come
out strong editoriaily for the republic.
There is no possibility OF the queen BE-
tied for good"
He secuted the idea Of Canadians taking
UP the cause of Liliuokalani.
Members of Thurston's party said that
Minister Willis and his wife were avoided
by the better element at the island. Their
acquaintance were but few, and the lead
ing families had ostracised them entirely.
Had the United States government at-
tempted to land troops and restore the
queen" said one of the party. there GER
tainly would have been bloodshed- LII.
uokalani would have been shot"
Mr.. Thurston was asked: rs the queen
revengeful?''
Sne Is an Oiu savage Win a VEN OF CIV
ilization," he exclaimed Mr.. Willis. be-
lieve, has stated that she refused to grant
amnesty"
rs the provisional government . stable
oneg" was asked.
''Yes, sir. the government IL there to stay
until a stronger power drives II out. and
there Is none at present on the island that
can do It. There are about ]. 500 men In the
army"
Mr.. Thurston laughed at the idea OF the
Japanese and Chinese residents Of the ISL
ands being a bar to annexation, and says
they could be treated the same those al
ready in this country. The native Ha-
waiian, he thinks. should be considered
eligible TO citizenship.
MrThurston thinks that the United States
will be the only power that can take pos
session of the islands without meeting with
armed resistance. The desire for annexs~
ton. he says, is growing stronger every day.
while Mr.. and Mrs. Willis were not well
received on the island" continued Mr..
Thurston, ''it Is not because he is . repre-
sentative of the American government. bur
because his mission to Hawaii 10 an un-
fortunate one"

In the Colorado Legislature.

The deadlock in the special session of
the Colorado legislature was clearly de-
fined yesterday when the senate refused
to consider the first bill submitted from
the house and adjourned until this after
noon. The house did some work passing
bills and advancing others. Yesterday
morning the secretary of state sent a
communication to the house announcing
that the legislative expense fund was ex-
hausted and contractors refuse to furnish
payment.
A bill appropriating $4,000 for the ex-
penses of the session was referred to the
appropriation committee. The senate ma
jority declare that no appropriation bill can
be passed in tine upper house.
The rumor that the senate was going to
discharge its employees, adjourn until to-
day and then go home, caused a good deal
Of comment in the house yesterday after
noon. Several of the members declared that
Ii this program was carried out the COVER
nor could send after the absent and bring
them back even If il was necessary to have
the governor call out the militia to do so.
Republican Committee Headquarters.
Chairman Thomas H. Carter of the re-
publican national committee was in New
York yesterday. He said he thought the
permanent headquarters of the committee
would be established in New York, rather
than in Westinghouse had been practically
decided upon at the meeting of the commit
tee. Joseph III. Manley, the new chairman
of the executive committee, would be in
New York city In a few days, Mr.. Carter
said, and would give his attention TO the Sc
lection of the permanent headquarters.

MURDER THE POLLS.

The murder of one Republican and
the seriously If not fatally wounding
of another at Troy yesterday in the
endeavor to prevent ballot-box stuff
ing should awaken the State of
New York to sense of its duty
to provide suitable safeguards for the
ballot box. The Legislature, knowing that
ballot crimes were being planned for
the election in Troy, passed bill
authorizing the Mayor of Troy to give
suitable protection and representation
to the Republicans and anti-machine
Democrats at the voting precincts.
Governor Flower. however, interposed
with his veto, although he was
urged to allow the bill to become
law. The planned.for crimes were
carried out and hundreds of ballots
were illegally cast. Republicans and
snany honorable Democrats stationed
themselves at the polls TO prevent dis
honesty, and as n result the ballot box
in one precinct is covered with
the life blood Of two men
who died in defense of an honest
ballot The Empire State with Nc
Kaneism at one end and murder at an
other is a disgraceful spectacle.

less debate. which will finally result in
quiet killing OF the bill.
The Republican policy now is for de-
lay. This is seen in Senator Aldrich's
announcement of yesterday that the
Republicans would insist upon
deliberate discussion OF the
tariff bill in committee as well as in
the Senate.
The finance committee itself is still at
sea over the bill and 1t is now
reasonably certain that the measure
will not be ready for some
time, even to be discussed in the full
committee, for OF course the Republican
members Of the committee remain in
the dark in regard to the contemplated
changes until the majority has perfected
its bill. Then. and not till then, are
they consulted.
The division among the Democrats
over the bill have given so much en-
couragement to the Republican leaders
that the hope of finally knocking out
the bill is growing into reasonable
possibility.
The Importance of killing the tariff bill
i'll the Senate at the present time is
apparent. If the Senate passes it Cleve-
land will sign it, and it becomes law.
so even if the Republicans should gain
control of the House next fall and the
Democrats retain control of the Senate
there could be no possibility of over
turning the tariff, but if the Senate re-
fuses 10 accept it now, with the House
next fall i'll Republican control, the Will
son bill will become only disagreeable
memory.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

The charge which is being openly made
that certain United States Senator's and
Representatives in Washington taking
advantage of knowledge Of events trans
piring in the finance committee room,
have been using their information
and have been gambling in sugar
stocks in Wall street should
be made the subject OF most search
ing inquiry. Any information obtained
10y Senators or Representatives
in regard to legislation should
be held rs sacred, aud the man
who violates this rule should be dis
graced with the widest publicity. IL
is a disgraceful fact that Wall street
frequently is better informed upon pro-
posed legislation than the majority in
Congress itself.

A RAY OF HOPE.

The Republicans in the Senate at last
see a good fighting chance to knock ont
the Wilson bill, and are using
the best weapons that come to
hand for the purpose. The utter
prostration of the manufacture
ing and commercial industries of the
nation due TO the threatened destruction
of the protective tariff makes IL abso-
mtely incumbent upon them to defeat
the Wilson bill, or its substitute, if pos
sible.
The Democrats themselves have fur.
nished them with weapon and as the
proceedings in the Senate yester-
day demonstrate they have already
begun using il. The Bland seigniorage
bill, which was not referred 90 the
finance Committee, but left on the
vice presidents table, is the club that is
being welded very effectively.
The Democrats postponed until today
the vote on the question of yester-
day whether the seigniorage bill
now before the SENATE small De kept
there instead of being referred to the
finance committee because they dared
not put IL TO the test then. IL is well
known that the tariff bill is not ready TO
be reported and that the commit
tee can give mo- definite idea of
the date when 10 will he. 10 SO is ex-
tremcly doubtful il the Democratic
leaders can sidetrack the Bland bill to
make way for a bill that is not yet pre-
pared even i'm committee.
The Republicans are endeavoring to
get the Bland bill before the Senate,
knowing that before that body consents
60 its passage the silver men will insist
upon tacking on free silver rider that
will open the a9odgatcs ot almost end

IL is five weeks since the Wilson bill was
sent 10 the Senate. and IL has not yet been re-
ported TO the finance committee by the sub
committee. When IL will be reported. or what
shape il will be in when this is done, will be
known positively only when the bill is actually
reported, since experience has shown that
promises are not To be depended upon.
Even il the bill should be laid before the
finance committee today or tomorrow the
subsequent outlook, as reported from Wash
iDgton, is neither promising nor satisfactory.
II is said that the bill VIII remain in the
hands OF that committee for several
days, and that at least two weeks will pass
before.debate on il will begin In the Senate.
How long that debate will be allowed To drag
on no one can tell, but unless the Democratic
Senator'S turn over a new leaf IL may be pro-
longed indefinitely.
For this delay the Democratic leaders are
TO blame and will be held responsible by the
people. They have shown neither patriots
ism nor statesmanship. They promised the
country revision by March |. Their present
course gives no assurance Of revision even by
June |.

Object Lesson No. 4.

The Southern Brigadier and New England.
There was good price on cotton up
to this season and Fig. represents the
prosperity of cotton while Fig. A rep
resents the equally large and elegant
condition Of New England's industries.
The Southern brigadiers have for years
been bowling for free trade-and to h
with New England's industries. Now
they have succeeded in shutting up the
New England industrial world and re-
ducing its prosperity as shown in Fig. 2.
But the Southern brigadiers are appalled,
to discover that they can't get decent
price for their cotton, as indicated by
Fig. 2 A.
In other words the closing of New
England's industries has cut off the
home market and the competition with
Great Britain at the same time. Ac-
cordingly in face of the fact that their
cotton crop is short and the foreign de-
mand is in glorious excess of the normal
demand the Englishman is able to tell the
Southern brigadiers that he proposes to
buy his cotton at his own price-and
that is lower than the price has been for
years.
Which instructive lesson may not
make the Southern brigadier love New
England any better but it will teach
them that the cotton market and New
England's industries have mutual
business interest.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
Democracy at Sea.


The special Washington dispatches of The
Press this morning show that an advantage.
which promises TO be important, has been
gained In the fight against the Wilson bill.
BY skillful flank movement the
Bland bill for coming the seigniorage
has received the right Of way In the
Senate, and until this measure Is disposed of
the tariff question cannot DO considered, The
motion TO shelve the Bland bill by referring
1t to the finance committee can be de-
bated 10 tho fullest extent under the
rules of the Senate; and tho country has
had experience OF the courage, persstency and
endurance OF the especial champions OF silver
In the Senate when the currency forms the
theme of discussion. In these Senator'S choose
70 do so, they can prolong the debate on the
Bland bill for a period of weeks or even
months.
