childhood,
AS our recOllectt0ns present them 10 view;
The use OF the switch that was brought from

And various punishmeLts most or us knew.
But saddest OF all is the thought OF the pill-boN,
That mother brought out when she thought

torment
Wrapped up in the horrible od-fashioned

WINS la the Hawaiian Question.
NEW York, Aug. "a World dis
patch from Washington says:
THE republic OF Hawaii has been formally
recognized by the United States through the
president and tho secretary OF state The pro-
yisional government proclaimed January 1903
when the queen was dethroned, was succeeded
on July 4 little more than month ago
by "a republican form OF government On the
day following Minister Willis extended recog-
milton. so far as Il was within HIS power. 20 the
new republic The action taken by the minis
ter was reported TO the state department Ia
dispatches received on July 80 which were Inn
mediately transmitted 10 congress.
Mr.. Willis action has been discussed
at several cabinet meetings, but no
decision was reached until Wednes-
day, when Secretary Gresham, under
the direction of the president, sent a
formal note TO the minister approving
his course. Although the text ~ Mr..
Gresham's letter has not been made
public, II is understood that the presi-
dent extends TO the new republic
the hearty good wishes OF the United
States. ENJOYS OF the dethroned
queen started for Washington as soon
as the new republic was proclaimed,
and they have been here for several
days endeavorlng 10 induce the state
department 20 withhold recogui-
tion and TO insist that LiliuolSa-

poses OF the whole question, and
closes the unfortunate diplomatic in
cident. Secretary Gresham visited
the capitol Wednesday and informed
Senator Gray, OF the senator foreign
relations committee, and Chairman
McCreary. OF the house committee on
foreign affairs, that the president had
formally recognized the Hawaiian re-
public. No official announcement OF
the action taken was given out for

for the prominent part he played in
the riots at the Union shaft six weeks
ago when the company men at work
were brutality beaten as they came
from the shaft.
At 4 o'clock Wednesday morning the
deputies visited his home and sur
rounded the house. Schurman at once
knew their intention, and. nrousing
the household, his son. wife and
daughter-in-law, they collected their
weapons, two large and well-sharpened
sabers. two daggers and a carving
knife, and awaited the officers. Deputy
Colley was the first To enter, and fight
followed at once. A cry for help
brought Deputies Brennan and Han
ley, who entered the door just as
Anton Schurman was rushing toward
them with a saber drawn and held in
a position to strike down on them.
Three shots rang out in an instant and
Anton Schurman fell mortally wound
ed, one of the bullets entering his
right side, passing through the right
kidney and lodging in the abdomen.
While this tragedy was being en-
acted Deputy Colley had forced Joseph
Schurman into bedroom and while
there the latter's wife rushed madly
toward the deputy and with one lunge
cut deep, ugly and dangerous wound
in his right side, cutting through the
tissues aud probably severing the intes-
tines. Deputy Hanley ran To his res
cue and was met at the door by
the woman, who aimed a blow at his
heart, but the knife hit his watch and
passed off, cutting his clothes for
space Of four inches. The wounded
deputy soon had taken the weapon
from the woman and put her nndcr ar
rest, but the loss OF blood so weakened
Deputy Colley that he had TO release
his prisoner, Joseph Schurman, and he
escaped and is yet at large.
. A telephone message was sent 10 the
militia barracks and the prompt re-
sponse OF the soldiers probably saved
the lives OF the officers. who were by
this time surrounded by an angry and
determined crowd OF desperate for
eigners, many OF whom were armed.
The militiamen used their bayonets
ana dispersed the mob, rescuing the
deputies from their perilous position.

THrir conferrces Reach Basis Of settle
menf-The Terms


WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-Another tariff
announcement made by the conferrees
Wednesday afternoon. II seems that
an agreement Is approached about
twice a week, and just as regularly
4. disappears. This time the con-
ferrees declare that IL is "a
sure go" and that within twenty-four
hours a report will be ready 20 submit
20 both houses Whether IL win be
adopted is quite another question. As
outlined, the agreement provides for
free iron ore, duty on coal and pro-
lection To sugar
The provision relating 10 coal is that
the duty shall be retained at 40 cents
ton. This Is the original senate pro-
vision. An effort was made by the
house conferrees 10 force an agreement
regarding this item which would in
clude sliding scale SO as TO remove
the duty after five or eight years.
The senate conferrees declined TO
entertain the proposition, and the
agreement Is now said TO stand for 40
cents duty without any qualiflca-
tions. The house wanted free coal
and free iron and the senate wanted
40 cents duty on each article. The
agreement splits the difference. the
senate retaining the duty on coal and
the house taking free iron ore.
The sugar schedule, which was the
third important item OF difference, re-
mains as IL was proposed last weel-4O
per cent duty is 10 be levied on raw
sugar, and the same duty Is TO be inn
posed on refined sugar, the basis OF
calculation being the value of
raw sugar of which IL is made.
An additional specific duty of one-fifth
OF cent n pound is to be imposed on
refined sugar as differential 10 cover
the cost OF refining An additional
duty OF one-tenth OF cent a pound is
TO be imposed on sugars imported from
bounty-paying countries.
1t is stated that the conferrees have
agreed upon these three important
items, and this morning they will
take up the remaining schedules and
endeavor TO adjust the differences re-
garding them. No great difficulty Is
expected In regard 10 these schedules.
nor will any radical changes be made
IL the agreement stands this morning
the republican members of the con-
ference committee will be called in at
IL o'clock and Immediately thereafter
a report will be made.
