Baptist church. corner Fourteenth and
Broad streets. Tonight and tomorrow
night he will also deliver sermons at that
house Of worship. Or. Needham was as
sisted last evening by Mr.. Sankey. and
their efforts were productive Of much
good. At the conclusion OF the discourse
thirty persons prOfessed religion and went
up and shook hands with the preacher.
There were in attendance upon the SER
vice about 500 persons, a number OF whom
were white. In the pulpit were Rev.
Drs. Needham and Landrum, Mr.. Sankey.

There was then a short prayer by DR..
Needham for the presence of the Spirit
of God and for the awakening of the
hearts OF those present. The preacher
read few verses from the 18th chapter
Of the Book Judges. telling the story OF
Samsons locks being shaved while he
was asleep.
Mr.. Sankey sang with splendid effect
that beautiful hymn. "My Mothers
Prayer" He preceded 1t with an appro-
pirate little story. so that when he con-
cluded there was hardly dry eye in the
house. and many chocolate-tInted faces
showed plainly where tears had coursed.
Dr. Needham preached a very short
sermon He talked in a more converse
tional way than he usually does from the
pulpit, and his words seemed to go deep
into the hearts OF his audience. He said
Samson slept when Ire ought to have
been awake. The apostle in his writing
warned the people against falling into
that easy. Supplied, sleepy condition of
the soul during which the Phillistines
and others came and did so much harm.
The evangelist pointed out In a clear
way the evils OF this sleep and the dan
gers resulting from IL.
There were many signs of relief and
"amens" when the preacher concluded
an incident involving the reformation OF
a young woman in another city. He had
noticed the brightness OF her face. and.

Keeping the Counsel.

WASHINGTON, aug. There is some
uncertainty manifested in congressional
circles to know the exact purpose of the
visit of Messrs. Parker, Cummings and
Wideman, the royalist ENJOYS from Ha
wall. While they talked with various
members of congress, they have not con-
flied to anyone q definite impression of
the ends which they hope to accomplish
by their mission In general way they
have reviewed the various wrongs attend
Ing the overthrow of the monarchy from
their standpoint, and have complained of
the Interference of Mr. Stevens, who, they
say, brought about the downfall They
represent that the present government
cannot be considered q repub bile, and are
not satisfied with the attitude OF Willis,
who IA SAID TO be as friendly to the Amer
ican element as was his predecessor
But they do not ask the Americans to do
anything IN behalf of the deposed queen,
nor do they stste de6nately why they are
here. The two objects suggested by
members of congsess to have brought the
delegation are to urge the administration
TO carry out its abandoned attempt to re-
store the queen, or make arrangements
for pecuniary redress for her. The COM
missieners have expressly disclslmed
either of these purposes, and their objects
are veiled in mystery.

The Repub ic OF Hawaii.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-The republic of
Hawaii has been formally recognized
by the United States through the secre-
tsry of state. The Republican goveren-
ment in Hawaii, 1t will be remembered,
was set up July 4. The following dav
Willis extended recognition. SO far as was
within bis power, to the new republic. :.
Mr.. Willis action has been discussed, but
no decision was reached until yesterday,
when Secretary Gresham. under direction
of the president, sent formal note TO the
minister approving his course. Although
the te1t of Gresham's letter has not been
made public, it is understood the presi
dent extended to the new republic the
hearty good wishes of the United States.
Representatives of the dethroned queen
started for Washington as soon as the
new republic was proclaimed, and they
have been here several days endeavoriog
to induce the state department to with
hold recognition, and to insist that Liluo
kalanl be extended the assistance of the
government In her efforts to regain power.
Yesterdays action disposes of the whole
question and closes the unfortunate diplo
matte "1ncident"
Secretary Gresham visited the capitol
and informed Senator GRAY. of the sen
ate foreign relations committee, and
Chairman McCreary. of the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs, that the presi-
dent had formerally recognized the Ha-
waiian republic. No official announce
meat was given out for publication, and
for this reason neither Senator Gray nor
would discuss the subject.

The End Apnroachs,h.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-The tariff con-
ferrees remained in cession until few
miu uutes after 10, and when they ado
journed the senate conferrees proceeded
to their room, where they held private
consultation. Early reports were to the
effect that the conferrees had encoun-
tered new obstacles and an agreement
was unlikely. Later it was reported an
agreement had been absolutely arrived at
on the lines of the understanding reached
last night that iron ore would be made
free, coal dutiable at 40 cents a tor, and
the compromise sugar schedule would
stand. Indications point to a verifca"
tion of this report. Republican members
in conference at :35 received an intim-
alton foil conference would be held this
afternoon, and Immediately began con-
sultations with the leaders on that side
with view preparing themselves for the
final conflict which they believe to be ut
hand.
Representative McMillin, one of the
house conferrees stated he believed an
agreement was in sight. Coal and iron
ore had not yet been settled but the main
features of the bill would be agreed upon
SO that the Republicans could be called in
tomorrow. During the recess of the con
ferrees there were conferences between
che leading conservative senators. A pe
tItion was today circulated among uem-
bers OF the house urging the conferrees
to stand by free sugar and the permanent
income tax. Representatives Band
started the petition, and it was numer-
ously signed.
Tne senate conferrees encountered OBJ
stscies in the metal, wooden and other
schedules of such character that they
did not feel justified in proceeding fur
tber without consulting the conservative
senators. Gornsn, Brlce and Smith The
house members demanded very liberal
concessions on many articles in the metal
and woolen schedules, and also earthen-
ware and glassware.

deputy sEerIffs were wounded with saber
thrusts. Deputy Sheriffs Thomas Ham,

Thomas Brennan surrounded Schnrman's
house to prevent the escape of Schurman,

officres. He is adesperate character wanted
for the prominent part he played in the
riots In Union shaft SIX weeks ago. Eu-
trance Into the house was forced and the
sheriffs were confronted by the older and
younger Schurman and their wives, all
armed with cavalry sabers. A deter
mined effort was made by the eheriffs to
disarni their opponents and it was not
uetil A. A. Colley had been dangerously
wounded that they resorted to the use of
firearms. Three shots were fired and
young Schurman fell mortally wounded.
The miners in the neighborhood rushed
to the scene of the disturbance. The
mIlitis's prompt arrival saved the lives of
the deputy sberiffs, who were surrounded
by an angry mob, many armed. The
militiamen used their bayonets to dis
perse the mob. The snarchIstic element
are swearing vengeance against the dep-
uties.

ent. Bynum offered resolution reciting
the fact of the disagreement Cd the tariff

reached, the Democratic senators be in
vited TO meet that day in joint caucus.

ment was necessary. He was not preJu-'
diced for or against the senate bill, and
would give his support to any the con-
ferrees might agree upon, but be spoke
for the people of b 8 state, who demanded
the bill be speedily passed. His tone
was mild and concilatory. Speaker
Crisp entered while he was speaking.
Chairman Wilson replied to Bynum. He
said one of the conferrees' greatest
troubles was just such movements as
this for caucus by which the house
conferrees were subjected TO fire in the
rear. He deprecated the adoption Of the
Bynum resolution
Livingston of Georgia offered substi-
tute expressing confidence in the house
conferrees, and leaving all action to their
judgment.

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

A contemporary is somewhat sur
prised that the TIMES MoUNTAINEER,
Republican newspaper. should sym
pathize with organized labor, and in
Inmates that sympathy with laborers
is AKIN to anarchy. We pity the poor
deluded brother, and advise him to
study politics for a while from the
primer up. The Republican party
was organized on the broad principle
of equal rights to all classes and con-
ditions Of citizens, and the poor man.
from the bonded slave of the south to
the employe in the factories in the
north, never had irmer or truer
friend than Abraham Lincoln, the
first Republican president. The
TIMES MoUNTAINEER has defended
those engaged in the recent strike as
far as the constitution of the country
granted them rights, which should be
as sacred in any court as those of the
capitalists or managers of railroad
corporations When violence was
enacted in Chicago or elsewhere this
paper fully endorsed the use of the
military to restore law and order; but
considered it advisable that the state
should have exhausted its powers be-
fore the general government should be
called upon. And this was not be-
cause of any prediction of the edi-
tor towards the doctrine of states
he never endorsed; but,
for the reason that he believes self
government in frse country should
begin with the municipality, and each
political division should regulate its
own local affairs as nearly as possible
This is not anarchy or treason; but
simply the true significance of free in
,titutions.
