Fraudulent Registration.

SAN Francisco, December l7.-George
Peterson, porter at the Baldwin Hotel,
who resides on Minna street, testified
to-day in the suffers" cases in Judge
Wallaces court that State Senator Jer-
ry Mahoney asked him to register as
from the Baldwin Hotel, stating that
" he would fix it all right" and told Pc
terson to 90 out in company with Stern
berg to the new city hall and register.
Peterson replied that he had already
registered from his own residence. Ma
honey swore at him, and walked away
grumbling. This is the first direct testl-
mony tending to show that Mahontey
was the man back of Sternberg IN the
fraudulent registration from the Bald
win Hotel.

Pasturing yvater-soaked Land.

During the fail and spring, when
evaporation is slow, after heavy rains
the pasture land is often SO water-soaked
that stock will sink several inches in
the soil at nearly every step. This is
not only injurious to the land, but the
grass roots are torn and mangled, many
Of the grass plants being forced several
inches into a mortar-like bed. When
dry the surface is very uneven, being dii-
fcult to travel over, yielding scarcely
half the amount of heritage that it should
or would had this feet-puncturing pro-
cess been dispensed with. Pasturing
wet lands in autumn is not as injurious
as in spring, for during the winter the
action of frost aids materially in level
ing the surface. If it is not possible to
keep the stock yarded during this period,
they should at least be turned into the
field containing the Oldest and stillest
sod

Ohio Convicts Must Have Work or They
viii 60 Crazy.
CoLUMBUs, Ohio, December l5.-Ayery
startling story is told by an officer about
the unavoidable condition OF things at
the Ohio penitentiary. There are now
2l00 convicts confined there, only about
1000 of them being employed at work,
the balance remaining III the idle house
This condition was brought about 10y the
warfare waged against convlct-made
goods by the labor organizations. The
Legislature last winter passed a law re-
curing all prison-made goods to be
labeled as such, thus completely shutting
them out of the market. This made 1t
necessary for the big contractors to give
up convict labor, and one result Is that
more than half the prisoners are idle.
Now it is claimed the idleness into which
the prisoners have been forced has bad
effect upon their minds, and that three

Berlin. December lin the Reichs-

the only remedy was silver currency.
Germany, he said, would earn the graft

graduating the new Chancellor on the
proof he had given that he was able to
hold the helm OF the Empire amid
storms. Herr RiCkett cOmbatted har-
dOrH's statement that silver currency
would remedy the existing distress. Herr
Singer, Socialist, in speech declared
that he had no doubt the RelChstag
would reject the proposal to prosecute
the Socialists who refused to cheer the
Emperor on the occasion of the opening
OF the new Reichstag. He warned the
Chancellor that the government must

SWENBURNE TALKS,
The Lieutenant Commander Be-
fore the Hawaiian Committee.

Inc Lieutenant Commander Be-
fore the Hawaiian Committee.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 17.-Lieutenant
Commander Swinburne, of the Boston,
was the only witness before the senate
subcommittee investigating the Hawaii
an question today. He is the officer who
had active command of the American
troops on shore in Honolulu at the time
of the revolution, and his testimony is
considered important, as it bears upon
some points which have been in dispute
and to which much Importance is at
tached. He was questioned concerning
the time of landing, the location of the
troops in Arion hall, and the time of the
surrender OF the station house. He was
asked to explain how the troops CHANGED
to be located at Arion hall, and was re-
minded of the charge made by Mr..
Blount and the friends of the queen that
Of all places this was the one best
calculated to serve the purposes of the
provisional government, being located
just across a narrow street from the
government building. where they would
prove menace to the queens forces
1t is understood that Mr.. Swinburne
admitted that a more fortunate selection
could not have been made, and that he
said he had previous to the landing ad-
vised that some other place be chosen.
In the main, however, his testimony
corroborated the statements of Minister
Stevens and the officers of the provis-
ional government. He commended that
there had not been conspiracy involving
the naval force.
Mr.. Swinburne was also reminded of
the surrender of the station house. He
said this occurred two or three hours
after the landing Of the Boston's troops,
or about 7 80 o. m.

sylvania Village.
DANvnLE, Pa, Jan. II. - Five
masked outlaws made a raid on the
postoffice at an early hour this morn
ing. A policeman saw masked man
crouching i'll the doorway and drew a
revolver, but before he could fire the
stranger slipped around the corner. The
policeman rushed to the homes of Off
GERS Dave Bissell and John Van Gilger
and gave the alarm. In a few minutes
the three men ran to the postoffice
in time to meet the mysterious
stranger emerging from the door fol-
lowed by a companion. They blew a
loud, piercing whistle, and commenced
firing revolvers at the police, who
lodged behind the lamppostS and re-
turned the fire. Ten shots were ex-
changed, when the robbers were rein
forced by three more men. Every one
was we'll armed and continuous round
of firing commenced. The bandits
formed square and Rugged the stone
steps leading to the massive building,
where they were able TO escape the
policemen's bullets. Numerous citizens
appeared armed with weapons of every
description. The firing became SO
warm that the robbers concluded TO re-
treat to the river bank. They dis
charged three yolleys at the excited
townsmen and ran eastward. each side
exchanging shots. Van Gilger, who
led the pursuerS, suddenly threw up
his hands and fell, shot through the
lungs. About the same time two of the
robbers fell. Their comrades grabbed
them, and during momentary halt of
the pursuerS managed to reach
the SuSquehanna river. A row
boat was secured and the
three outlaws, after laying their
wounded companions at the bot
tom of the boat, commenced sculing in
the direction of the Northumberland
side. The pursuers, now force of 100
Infatuated men. secured as many boats
as possible, and all exciting chase COM
menced, reyOlyerS and rifles cracking at
every turn, but no one was hit. Owing
to their good start the outlaws succeed
ed in reaching the opposite side before
the foremost boat containing the police
was half way across, and when the
pursuerS touched the land the men
were in the mountains, which are being
secured on all sides by the sheriff's
posse. 1t thought the bandits will
seek cave in order to hide their
wounded companions and to throw the
police off the scent. In the event of
their being surprised, another desperate
battle will occur. The sheriff declares
he will bring back the slayers of Van
Gilger dead or alive.

ILLS CLAIM.
She VIII Not Present One Against
This Government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE rumor
that the Hawaiian eX-queen will pre-
sent claim for damages to the United
States government continues to be dis
cussed, although it is pretty generally
discredIted. No such claim has been
presented, and there is little reason to
doubt that the report has been officially
denied by the queens advisers.
The leaders of the house say that a
claim of this kind could never be sus-
tanned. Judge Holman says congress
would not listen to such proposition
for moment. The claim could not be
based on the idea that President CleYe-
land and Secretary Gresham had ad-
mitted that the queens overthrow was
due to the course of Minister Stevens
and the landing of United States
marines, for such admissions cover
questions of fact, and would not be con-
sldered as binding on congress when it
came to setting up claim for damages.
Representative Raynor, of the foreign
affairs committee, says that the talk of
a claim by the queen is prepOsterous.
There would be no legal warrant for
setting up claim against this country
for such action as it saw fit to take
regarding a revolution in an
other country. He cites the ac-
ton of the United States in the
Grecian revolution and the various
South American revolutions as showing
that the governments action i'll an in
ternational complication cannot be
made the basis of a claim. Repre-
sentative Hit, the Republican leader
of the foreign affairs committee, says
that the talk of claim by the queen is
more of joke than reality. He
thinks, however, that her claim for
damages is capable of exact calcutta
tons from the propositions submitted
some months ago by the queens repre-
sentative, Paul Neuman. The latter
desired a pension of $4,000 and the
rentals of certain crown lands. All of
which was to he in consideration of the
queens peaceful abdication of her
rights. Representative Boutelle. who
has led the Republican assault in the
house on the Hawaiian policy, says that
if congress sustainS President CIeve-
land i'll the policy thus far pursued, the
necessary sequel will be the authoriz-
ing of substantial payment to recon-
penSe the queen for the failure to re-
store her.
