San Francisco, May 3.-The Chronicle
prints the following Honolulu CORES
pondence under date of April Is, re-
ceived via Port Townsend by the
United States steamer Adams:
Honolulu, April 15.-News of the ap-
pointment of Admiral Walker to sue
coed Admiral Irwin and the announce
ment of the intention of the United
States to take possession of Pearl
harbor and the establishment of a coal
ing and naval station there received
here on the 10th by a sailing vessel
followed by the arrival of Admiral
Walker two days later, has set the
populace to talking and many conjec-
lures are being made as to the result
of the admiral's appointment and in
StructionS. The royalist paper declares
that the admiral comes for the purpose
of taking possession of Pearl harbor
and that as soon as that is accom-
plished he will proceed to organize
new government. They even go so far
as to say that Admiral Walker will
restore eX-Queen Liliuokalani to the
throne.
The provisional government and an
nexation press construe Admiral
Walkers appointment and presence to
mean that the United States has had
change of heart and that that govern
ment assuming control of Pearl harbor
sets at rest all doubt as to the course
of the United States toward Hawaii
and ultimate annexation. This view is
based on reports and advices received
from the Hawaiian minister at Wash
ington.
Thus far Admiral Walker has not
given out what he intends to do in
this country. There is a, serious split
in the ranks of the royalist party
through the efforts of a number desir-
ing to pose as leaders. They expect to
receive information from their agent
in the United States by the next
steamer as to the hope of restoring the
queen. If the reply is in the negative
it is anticipated that the party will
rush into politics and endeavor to have
all members of the constitutional con-
vention elected with a material change
in the oath of allegiance.
Delegates from nearly all of the dis
tricts in the islands have been nomi-
mated and matters in connection with
the constitutional convention are run
ming smoothly. There is not the least
excitement prevalent in the island.

CLOCK OUT FOR MAY 40
Wise Hens Lay Eggs with n Terrible
Warming.


Marshal, Mich, May 9.-Farmers
north and northeast of this city are
greatly excited over an apparently
supernatural warning they have re-
ceived of some calamity that is sched-
uled for May 4, and they will not be
surprised at any upheaval of the earth
or other disturbances that might hap
pen on that day. On several farms in
this vicinity were found one day last
week, eggs bearing the following in
scription: Look out for May 4,
1894"
Beneath this mysterious warming
were a skull and cross bones. The in
scription was plainly printed and the
letters were light brown in color One
of the mysterious eggs was found in
nest with other eggs in a barn owned
by William Hart, near Olivet, Baton
county. The same day, April q, one
was discovered in the hen house owned
by Scott Keathing, justice of the peace
at Particle, Calhoun county, with
similar warning and one was found
in Charles Seffer's barn in the same
township. In all cases the warning
was the same. The mysterious writer
whether it be the hen or some practi-
cal joker, failed to indicate what the
doom of the people would be. At any
rate there is great excitement in this
vicinity. The family of Robert Will
Hams, in this county, have given such
credence to the warnings that they
have prepared for the end of the
world, which they expect will come

Tacoma, Wash, May 9.-An work at
the extensive mines of the Northern
Pacific Coal company at Roslyn was
suspended, indefinitely, tonight by Or
der of General Manager langley, and
instructions have been given the pay
master to make out the April pay
rolls. This is supposed to mean an
absolute suspension Of the mines until
a settlement with the men is effected
or new men brought in. The men de-
clined to consider the proposition of a
20 per cent. reduction in wages. but
offered to accept a 10 per cent. reduc-
ton. The colored miners now in the
camp are standing by the white
miners.
The mine-owners state that they
will fill the positions held by the
miners with other men, as the orders
they have must be filled.

IN A VERY BAD BOAT.
Starvation Grim stares Kelly in the
Face.


Des Moines, Iowa, May S.-Kelly's
army is in desperate straights. Starva-
ton stares the men in the face and the
demonstration of the laboring people
as last resort was not q, success. Only
one hundred men marched to the state
house
General Weaver led them. He
told Governor Jackson that his dele
cation wanted to know if there was
any power in the executive to secure q
train. He said not a laboring man in
Des Moines would countenance the vio-
lation Of law, but all were anxious to
prevent the disarmament in Des Moines
of the suffering industrial army.
vice-President Van Horn, Of the
Trades and Labor assembly, said the
labor organizations feared the disband-
3pent Of the army here and asked that
the men be hurried out of the state.
Z The governor said: ''The trunk lines
have refused to carry the men for less
than full fare. I will lay this matter
before the executive council. The only
hope is to secure sufficient funds 10
carry these men to the Mississippi
river. If Kelly will take a boat, 1 have
hopes that we will be able to get them
out Of the state"
Governor Jackson will try to secure
fun6s TO pay for transportation over
Des Noines and Kansas City and Keo-
kuk and Eastern railroads to the river
and thence by boat to Ohio.
The committee requested Kelly to
consent to such a plan, and he will
probably accept.
Kelly agreed to accept transporta-
ton to the Mississippi with a view of
going down that stream and up the
Ohio. Henry Browne, of the army,
s$Ipposed to be insane, cut his throat

Governor Jackson spent the day in
endeavoring to secure a train to the
Mississippi river with view to follow
5ng his scheme, but tonight had little
hope of success.

Washington, May 3.-General Coxey
was conspicuous by his absence from
the camp of the army of the common
veal during the greater portion of the
day. He remained at his quarters at
the National hotel for the purpose,
mainly, OF attending to matters in

THEY WANT THE
BILL PASSED AT ONCE
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD IN
NEW YORK LAST NIGHT.
Discussion of the Income Tax Causes
DissensiOn, and COudert Says He
is Willing to Swallow it For the
Sake of the Much-Needed Reduce
ton in the Tariff-A Dramatic
Scene.

New York May "a mass meeting was
held tonight in Cooper Union to protest
against the dilatoriness of the Senate in
passing upon the Wilson bill.
All was not harmony at the meeting,
and the income tax was what marked the
dividing of the ways.
The storm broke when Frederick R.
Coudert took issue with James Carter
and roundly denounced the income tax
measure as had, dishonest and un-Demo-
cratic. One half of the large crowd Kissed
and interrupted this expression of opinion
the others cheered and applauded, and
hurled back the epithetic applied to Mr..
Coudert by his opponent from the body of
the hall.
An old man jumped up, shook his fist
at Mr.; Coudert on the platform and
1--WE were paying the taxes while you
people were robbing u.s."
At this point there was a tumnlt. a
chorus of put him outn burst forth, and
everyone jumped UP. Half a dozen police
men rushed up and seized the old man,
carrying him TO the rear of the hall. Con
fusion reigned for some minutes.
Finally Mr.. Coudert put every one in
good humor by saying that bad as the
it for the sake of the tariff reduction
The meeting had been called by repre-
sentatives of forty-two business houses of
CITY.
Charles s. Fairchild called the meeting
to order and denounced the senators re-
sponsible for the delay. He thought the
income tax unwise, but. there We're many
things worse than it, one of which was
to have no income at all, which was what
the present delay would lead to.
James Carter delivered the principal
speech of the evening. He defended the
income tax as the most just and equitable
form of taxation. There were manifesto
tons of approval and disapproval when he
said this a foreboding of the tumult that
broke forth later when Mr.. Coudert took
the opposite stand to Mr.. Carter
Mr.. Carter also denounced Senators Hill
and Murphy for their attitude toward the
large audience hugely. Resolutions in
substance as follows were passed:
That we should prefer a more con-
sistent and courag eouS measure of tariff
reform than now pending, but we urge
that it be passed to final vote SO W.
expressions of the Mckinley tariff
That while we are opposed to the in
come tax provisions, we are more opposed
to the existing system of the tariff taxa
ton, which casts on the working classes
n1ne-tenthS of the burden of taxation and
an enormous tribute for the benefit of the
few.
THAT while we desire the income tax
clause to be stricken out, we deem the in
come tax no excuse for the vote of any
Democrat against the bill as a whole and
demand that every Democratic senator
and representative vote for the repeal of
the Mckinley law.
That the defeat of the bill by Demo-
cratic votes would be a disaster to the
nation and an act of treason to the Demo-
cratic party
The meeting then adjourned

Trouble Seems to Be but Fairly

Cleveland, May 3.-Nine hundred men
slept in the armories last night with
bayoneted sentries watching, ready to
arouse them. There was no renewal of
the rioting. The authorities fear an out
break today. Three of the largest motor
cars have been placed under the orders
of the director of police. AT II 80 a. M,
squad of police under Captain Gates was
sent to Newberg, where large iron mills
are located and where disorder was
threatened. The Poles of that district
met last night and determined to raid

Long before the earliest risers started
down town today, the police had taken
possession of the public square No one

1NrER-OcEAN CHANGES HANDS.
KohIsaat Sells Out to William Penn
Nixon.


Chicago, May 3-The runors that
have been floating about for some days
of changes in the ownership of the In
ter-Ocean, were today verified.
Mr.. H. H. Kohlsaat, for three years
past publisher of the paper, and pro-
prietor of the majority of the stock,
disposes of his entire interest to Will
liam Penn Nixon, who has been editor
of the paper Off more than eighteen
years. The gentlemen are warm friends,
but in some points have not been agreed
as to the mana cement. Mr.. Kohlsaat
was young and ambitious and desired
to control all departments, but not wish
ing to create friction, he proposed to
Mr.. Nixon terms on which he would
buy or sell, and the latter accepted his
offer to sell and purchased Mr.. Kohl
saat's entire holdings and Mr.. Kohlsaat
was also repaid for all advances made
to the company. 1t is understood he
received about 100000.
Mr. Nixon says: There will be no
change in the character of the paper.
There is no political scheme under the
transfer, and the paper will continue
the advocation of Republicanism, but
will be the organ of no man or set of
men"
During his administration, Mr.. Kohl
saat spent money freely, largely in in
creasing the business and circulation of
the paper. He had added greatly to
the newspaper plant and leaves it bet
tered by more than 500, 900. He sails
for Europe with his family next week.
1t is understood that it was through
the aid of personal friends that Mr.
Nixon was able to make the purchase.
The names are not known to the pub

Lord LiverpooPs legislation in 1916 was
