DEATH OF THE MAORI KING.
Auckland. Aug u.

Auckland, Aug 81.
Tawhiao, the second Maori King, has died
Of influenza. He was the son Of Potatau tie
Where Whero), the FIST native king, and was
chosen to succeed his father in June, 1850.
During the first fifteen years of his reign
Tawhiao's attitude towards the New Zealand
Government was one of Incorporating hos
tility, but in 1876 he had an interview with
the Minister of Native Affairs in regard to the
confscated Waikato territory, Of which the
Maoris demanded the rest GRAFTON. This re-
quest was refused. and the conference led to
no result, the consequence being that the
King resumed his former attitude of passive
hostility until 1879, when he had an inter-
view with Sir George Grey at Kopua, at
which he repudiated all compromise with
Europeans, notwithstanding that several Of
his chiefs were in favour of coming to terms
with the Government. Two years later, how
ever. Tawhiao quite unexpectedly gave in his
voluntary submission to the district military
officer of Waikato. and in } January, 1882, visit
ed Auckland, where he was received
with great cordially by the Colonial authori.
ties. In 1884 the King undertook a journey
to England, having previously taken the
pledge by Sir George Grey's desire. The
Maori ruler when III England had al inter
view with Lord Derby, then Colonial Secreta-
ry, who promised 40 forward q memorial to
the Queen regarding the alleged aggressions
of the New reimbursement on the Maori
lands. The Colonial Office, however, ulti'
mately declined to interfere in a matter Of
the internal policy of a seIfEgoverning colony,
and the King returned to New Zealand after
expressing much annoyance at not being re-
ceiyed by the Queen. From that time onward
he continued to preserve an attitude of pas
sive prot,s to the hand policy of the Colonial
Government, but in 1892 surrendered all fur
ther pretensions and accepted a pension Of
E225 per annum.-Ibid.

THE CHOLERA.
Precautions in the United Kingdom.
Times, 81 Aug.)

Times, "a Aug.)
Information obtained within the last few
DAYS at the Local Government Board shows
that the cholera survey of coast towns and
districts, and 0 finland places having, in some
respects. an unsatisfactory record, has been
in continuous operation ever since February,
1898. and is still gsing on, with the result
that. in many districts, much has been done
70 remove conditions which would assist IN
the spread Of imported cholera. The present
season is regarded with somo anxiety. In
the first place, cholera has shown : power OF
rporudescence, especially in Russia, Galicia,
North East Germany, and Belgium, which IS
not only greater than might have been anti
cinated in the third year of a European pre-
valence. but is actually in excess of that
which obtained last year. This. to some ex'
tent discounts anticipations based on the
snnnosition that we were dealing with a
waning epidemic. In the second place, 1t has
70 he remembered that the commencement
Of cholera last year in the " on the
Humber were obscured by the mildness OF a
large number of attacks, which were at first
1aemed to be liarrh@a only, but which grad
nallv increased in S verify until 1t was EVIL
dent after the disease had obtained a foot
hold. that true cholera was in question Inns
may we'll happen again.

In Sweden cases of cholera occurred in
July at the quarantine station at Fejan
amongst persons on board a ship from St.
Petersburg.
In summarizing the results Of our inquiry,
it may be stated that the arrangements very
much resemble those Of a sanitary Intelligence
department, with az emergency staff always
ready for instant action; and whilst the
country is looked upon as better prepared t.
meet cases Of imported cholera than it ever
has been, yet the virulence Of some Of the
"reminiscences abroad causes more anxiety
than had beon anticipated earlier in the
year and it is also known within the Local
Government Board Medical Department that
there are sanitary districts in England which
would run considerable risk if cholera hap
pened to find its way into them.

Destruction Of a Swiss Hotel by Fire
Dalziel's Berne correspondent says: Inc
Grand Hotel Victoria, situated on the heights
of Bsatenh0hle. overlooking the Lake OF
Thun, was burnt to the ground on Saturday
morning. This hotel, which occupies a COM
handing position, was a f%avourite resort Of
English tourists, and for some time past 1t
has been quite filled wiah visitors by the
fire two or three hundred of its temporary
occupants have suddenly found themselves
without rooms, while many Of them had the
whole Of their belongings destroyed. For
tunately no person was ina red. The origin
Of the fire has not yet been discovered, but it
is supposed to be due to a spark carried by
the wind to the highly irfammable roof Of
the hotel, which, as is usual in these upland
resorts, was largely constructed of wood,
The flames spread SO rapidly that many OF
the visitors were unable 10 reach their rooms
to rcmove their valuabIes before tue whole
OF the hotel and its contents were des-
troyed-Ibsd.

president GEORGE B. ROBERTS, of the
Pennsylvania railroad, returned from
Europe few days ago, and has been
interviewed by the Philadelphia Star
He has decided views with respect to the
business situation, and also as to the
cause for the recent hard times. What
he says gains special interest and i'm
pOrtance for the reason that he is at the
head of one of the grandest railroad sys
TENS in the world, and also that he but
rarely talks, especially for publication
By many he is considered taciturn, al
most austere, in his intercourse with
others. That he is not in accord with
many politicians and newspapers as to
the cause of the hard times will appear
from the following quotations: "The
recent panic, which began in 1898, and
the natural result, and industrial de
largely the natural outgrowth of specu
lation in all kinds of securities repre-
senting no real value. A large mass OF
railroad securities and of "industrials'
equally worthless had been put upon the.
market, and the financial panic was the
legitimate result of the discovery of their
wOrthlessneSs. 1t was at first bankers
panic rather than a commercial or in
dustrial one. Its first fruits were par
alysis of our industries, from which the
manufacturers of the country are now
slowly recovering"
President Roberts does not look for a
speedy or radical rebound into a boom
as of old, but believes that there will be
"a gradual and general improvement
which will be evidenced by an active de
mand for paying investment on the part
of capitalists.
The capital of the country, which has
been almost valueless, will now, he
thinks, "be drawn into active uses and
will stimulate enterprises in many di-
rections, so that we may look for great
er activity in all branches of trade and
manufactures. So far as my observa-
ton goes there is already a general re
turn throughout the country to manu-
featuring activity.
Few men have had better opportuni-
ties to observe the country's economic
situation than Mr. Roberts, and the fact
that he sees in it such signs of encour-
agement will tend to strengthen the
growing conviction that prosperity is
surely, if slowly, forcing its way, and
that before a great while it will have
spread its benefcient wings over the
whole country.

Four Dead.

Nyack, N, October ga terrible
fire occurred at South Nyack shortly af-
ter O'Clock this morning, destroying
the elegant new residence of Rev. Ross
Taylor, Bishop of Africa, burning to
death four of Mr.. Taylor's children and
seriously iniurIng three workmen
Mrs. Taylor first discovered the fire and
alarmed her husband, who investigated
and found they were surrounded by fire.
The couple had been almost blinded bv
the smoke and they saw at once that
the most they could attempt would be to
get out, and even that seemed impOsSi-
BILE. BY hard effort, however, they sue
ceeded in escaping from the building
Then they saw that their property must
go, and with it their children, whose es-
cape and rescue were cut off.
a laborer named Michael Mulialey
and two decorators named Edward Sinto
and William Ruth jumped from a third
story window and were badly hurt. The
names of the children burned to death
were: Harriet, Ada, Arthur and
Schultz, ranging in age from II to )
years. Two older boys escaped by Jump
ing from an upper window. The origin
of the fire is not known, but it is thought
it was started by the carelessness of some
one who came into the house late at
night.

Deeds of Violence.

Chicago, Oct 23.-Deeds of vio>
lence, which characterized the recent
great railroad strike, were repeated last
night at Grand Crossing and South Chi
cagO by gang of hOOdlums. An Hi
nOis Central suburban train was boarded
by crowd of toughs who abused the
crew, illing them ''scabs'' They were
finally elected.
When the train reached Wildwood the
depot was burning and while the train
men devoted themselves to extinguish-
ing the flames, the misCreants fired
train of box cars on a side track, one
car being totally destroyed When the
train again started it was found that all
the semaphores had been removed and
the lamps placed under the wooden
work of the rOadbed, the structure burn
ing like tinder. The flames were
smothered with sand and cinders. but
not until the track in places was so
weakened that supports had to be placed
under it. This is the first outbreak of
the tough element since the strike and
the damage would have been much
greater but for the hard work of the
train crew.

Autumn WRAPS for Ladies'

What promises to be the favorite Au-
tumn wrap is a double cape of cloth very
broad and reaching to the waist. The
trimming is an inch band of the cloth
stitched on the edges with fanciful orna-
mentS in the corners and turned over
collar of velvet. This. together with the
golf cape, are the most general and styIish
outside garments for wearing with An
tumn dresses. Very full capes reaching to
the hips are of AstTakhan or moire, with
deep reverS oyer the Sholders. Fancy
capeS for evening wear are made with Van
Dykes of the new perfora ted cloth. cerise
or bluet. Black velvet capes have satin
revers lined with velvet or baby lamb
The Mcdowell fashion magazines contain
many points of interest on this important
subject. They are the safest guides on
all questions of fashion. The price of Il "A
Mode de Paris" and Paris Album of
Fashion is $50 each for years sub-
scription, or 35 cents per copy. The
French DreSSmaker' costs $500 per an
mum or 30 cents per copy. La Mode
with Its low price, s1.5O per year or -

THESE are tough times for the calam-
ity hOwler. He was dead certain before
the passage of the Wilson bill not only
that free wool would knock the bottom
out of prices and ruin the wool and
sheep industries, but that the reduc-
tiOn of the dnties on woolens would
close up all of our wooden mills. His
position is now most pitable. Facts
refuse to submit to his pessimistic the
ories; moreover they stand out so plain
ly that he cannot possibly deceive the
voters until November. While prices of
foreign woolens have fallen about 40 per
ceni.-just as the Democrats promised
prices of domestic woods have advanced
fully 10 per cent. over Mckinley prices
of three months ago.

THE chairman of the state committee
of the 4. p. A. in New York announces.
says the Pittsburg Post, that the organi-
zation will oppose the election of Mr..
Hill. and support Mr.. Morton. 1t is
stated the members will do this because
Mr.. Hill has denounced the A. 2. A
idea of a religious qualification for Of
fee, and religious test in the matter of
working for ones bread and butter.
Being a Democrat, Mr.. Hill could do
nothing else than denounce political
and labor prescription on account of re-
ligious belief. Mr.. Morton is supported
by the A. 2. A. because he does not de-
nounce such prescription, and dodges
the issue, like Mr.. Hastings in Pennsyl-
in both states, should it come to them,
standing up for the bed rock principles
of the federal and state constitutions,
which forbid any religious test as quail
ification for office. As to the bread and
butter disqualification, that no Catholic
must be given work, it is in contempt of
the common principles of christianity
the world over, as well as the sermon
on the Mount and the Golden Rule
And yet general Hastings allowed his
lips to be padlocked in an effort to huns
bug either the opponents of religious
prescription or the A. p. A. who advo-
cate it. Come out in the open, general

A Prehistoric Find

Reports from Augwich valley lately
are to the effect of a unique find in
that locality. George Swayne, a well
known farmer of that section, distant
from Shilleysburg about one mile. had
a number of men employed digging out
an excavation for fish pond At a
slight depth below the surface the work
men came upon the remains of pre-
historic animal of the mammal species.
Several of the molars exhumed are said
to be OF huge proportions, from 4 to D
inches in diameter, and more than twice
that IN length. A portion of one broken
tusk over five feet in length was also ex-
humed, together with portions of the
head and frame. Many of the bones
crumbled into dust when their removal
was attempted, but from those that re-
manned in fair state of preservation
1t Is gathered that the animal must have
been of gigantic proportions.

The Business Revival.

Chicago. October 21.-COmptrolIer of
the Currency Eckels, who arrived yes
terday says the recent marked revival of
business is by no means confined to the
great financial centers of the country
The comptroller came on from Wash
ington to address the .Bankers' club at
kllsley's last evening. ''The last call
for statement from the national banks
was made on October 50 he said. 'It
showed an increase in reserve cities since
July Is of S3S, 100000 of loans and dis
counts. We estimate that in addition
to this there was an increase ofS2O, ,0OO,-
600 In outside cities. 1t was not con-
fined to the financial centres but seemed
to course from every section of the
country Indicating a very general and
healthy revival. Compared with the
statement of one year ago, however, the
increase is phenOmenal-more than
$50, 200, 600. All this indicates a res
toration of public confidence and more
liberal investments"
Comptroller Eckelstreturned to Wash
ington to stay. Next week he is COM
ing to Illinois to remain until after the
election.

IL the course of his address at the
general assembly of the Democratic So
cieties of Pennsylvania, at Altoona, last
week, Hon. Chauncey F. Black, said:
''There are many questions upon
which the good people of Pennsylvania
would ike to hear their candidates for
state ofiices-questions which vitally con-
Germ us at home. Here are a few of
them: Will General Hastings, if elect
ed, be himself in office, or will he take
the orders of the rings and bosses, who
have controlled all his recent Republi-
can predecessors? If he is not to be the
representative of these men, why does he
not repudiate them upon the stump? If
Hastings and a Republican legislature
shall be elected, are we to be plunged
back into the moral degradation of the
Riot bill period? Are we to have
Kemble pardon board? Will General
Hastings recommend the equalization of
taxes? Will he recommend a reform in
the method of keeping the public mon
eys, so that they may no longer be used
for private and public corporations?
Will he look to the enforcement of the
unenfOrced articles of the constitution?
Will he recommend to the legislature
and advance by his uncommon elo-
quence of voice and pen the redemption
of the Republican pledge solemnly made
in their platform and by their newspa-
pers and speakers to amend the consti-
tuition so that We may have secret and
honest ballot in this state, and SO that
the laboring man may cast his vote ac-
cording TO his own conscience without
fear? These are subjects which he
might better discuss, as they fall within
the scope of the great office for which he
stands, instead of the tariff, with which
he cannot possibly have anything what
ever to do"
