WASHINGTON, Jan. 80, 1894.
Judge Cox this morning denied the
application of the knights of labor for
an injunction to restrain Secretary Car,
Isle from issuing bonds. The principal
ground of his decision was that the APP
plicants had no proper standing in court.
P. w. Reader, who was tourist IN
Hawaii at the time of the revolution,
testified before Senate committee now
investigating that matter this morning
He said the American party was ex,
ceeGingly active, and that that radical
disturber OF the peace Lorin A. Thurs
ton saw the time and the opportunity
had arrived when he could successfully
accomplish what he had failed to do Ill
1SS9.' 1t was freely talked on the
streets that members of the advisory
committee said Mr.. Stevens had prom
ised to help the insurgents and that
when n fair number of people would de-
clare provisional government, be
would recognize it as the government
de facto. The whole matter, he de-
clared, bore every evidence of having
been pre-arranged, for the Boston,
which was $50 miles away at target
practice, steamedlinto harbor when she
was wanted. The native side Of the
story of the revolution was, he said,
suppressed and the first authorized
statement from that side came from
Paul Neumann when he was sent to
Washington a month after the revolu-
ton. The efforts to suppress the truth,
Mr.. Reader said, reminded one of
the star chamber sessions of the tif-
teenth century. The local military
force was recruited, Mr. Reader said,
by paving eXorbitant wages. and the
army put under the command of a
''vagabond" named Soper. The gov
ernnent overthrown, he said, was
American all but in name. and in con-
Guiding this part OF his state nent. Mr..
Reader said THE American is there
the same as he was before he went
there-a grasping, INSCRIPTIONS, money
getter, and ne has plundered the
Islands,

secretary's room, armed with the sub
poena issued by the u. 5. Circuit Court
of the District of Columbia on request OF
the knights of labor, served it on the
Secretary of the Treasury. Mr.. Car
Isle accepted process. Just before he

entertained any doubt about the result.

Representative Meredith called at
the Office of the Lighthouse Board this
morning in reference to the case of B

Lower Cedar Point lighthouse. He
was informed that the board know that
Mr.. Grymes was in no wise to blame
tor the burning of the house, and that
when it shall be rebuilt he will be rein
stated, but that there is no telling when
it will be rebuilt, owing to the depleted
public treasury.
Gen. Malone is still here and is likely
TO remain here for some time as his
associations here are mora agreeable
than those at has home in Petersburg.
He says that at present there is no pros
pect of securing fair elections in his
State and that efforts toward effecting
that purpose made in the democratic
party can succeed and can only result
in the political injury of those engaged
in it. The only hope, he says, is for
the people of the State, irrespective OF
party, to rise in their might and down
those who prevent free vote and a
fair count.

per that he will endorse that gentlema 4.

ter there will expire early in March.
