Boise, Ida, Jan. .-[Special.lE There
bearing upon the death of William
McKim, who was superintendent of the
Bonaparte Hill gold mine at Rocky
Bar.
He disappeared in 1887. Two years
ago a skeleton was found in the Boise
river which seemed to be satisfactorily
identified as his. A witness was brought
forward who testified that he saw him
drown. The property belongs to I'hil-
adelphia and Cincinnati men. 1t is a
gold mine, and is furnished with a
fine 20-stamp mill, but it has never
been worked since McKim disappeared.
The owners thought McKim absconded,
and it seems they still think so, as enc
of them has recently made su;h a
statement.
This implies that they doubt the
identified ton. 1t is now claimed, how
ever, that ever since the disappearance
of Mckim, the mine has been sur
reptitiousIy worked by parties who
have made a connection with it under
ground.
The assertion is male that large
sums of money have been taken fro n
it. The knowledge of his getting out
has led to active competition among
the local operators to secure control
of the mine. All are anxious TO keep
the facts suppressed, while the scram-
bic to bond or lease the property Soes
on.
The question is what connection was
there between McKim's disappearance
and the underground clnncction With
the mine. Was a faithful protector of
the property made away with, in or
der that the property might De robbed?

AS THE TIMES SEES 1T.
An English View of the Situation in
Havynii.

London, Jan. s.-The Times, com
menting on the Hawaiian advices via
Victoria, last night, says: That the
provisional government is well advised
in assuming an attitude of defiance
toward the president of the United
States may, indeed, be doubted AL
though it has been rumored he will
accept compromise, Cleveland has
shown his stiff back and thinks his
countrymen admire it, and it is quite
possible that in the long run he may
show himself as determined in the
Hawaiian policy as he was upon the
silver question. Indeed, it is difficult
to lend credit to the statement that
the United States means to recognize
the provisional government, yet it must
be owned the conduct of the ex-queen
has been SO inprovident as to afford
the American executive an opportunity
of Withdrawing the offers he had made
to her. American politicians may ar
que that, in the face of her dilatoriness.
the presidents offer no longer holds
good. Technically, this is true, but
will such pettifogging commend itself
to the judgment of Americans? The
moral grounds on which the offer was
made cannot have vanished altogether,
even in the stress of American politics,

HER DIFFICULTIES OVER.
The Troubles Among the Crew of the
Nictheroy Settled.

Pernambuco, Dec. 23-After more
than weeks delay. the Nictheroy's
difficulties seem to be over
and she will probably leave for the
south tomorrow She has about 100
of the original crew on board, and also
200 Brazilians. The Nictheroy and
America left st. Thomas on December
g. On December 10, the Ceara was
sighted. The steamer started from the
port headed from the Nictheroy. The
pipe of the boatswain rang through
the ship, calling all hands to quarters,
and soon they began to cast loose and
was manned, ready to turn upon the
vessel if she should prove to be an
enemy. A small boat soon came
and proved to be the pilot
sent out by the Brazilian authorities
to bring the Nictheroy in. On Tues
day morning, the Nictheroy steamed
away once more, and reached Pernam-
buco in forty-eight hours. The officials
of the government, are on board and
had discussion with Captain Baker
and Lieutenant Hill, asking that both
the officers and men should prepare a
scale and pay such as they would
require to induce them to reship in
the Brazilian navy, they also to state
for how long they were willing to en-
list Immediately afterwards the crew
were told they would receive $500
bounty and 800 a month if they chose
to reship. Fifty men left the ship and
as no communication is now allowed
with the ship it is supposed all on
board signed.
The situation at Pernambuco is hard
to define. There are so many conflict
ing stories that no one can reach the
truth. One paper has been suppressed
and the other three do not dare to say
much.
On Thursday last a party of fifty
soldiers was sent to arrest Constantine
Rogiberto, prominent man living in
the interior Of this state, known to be
disaffected. He fortified his house,
which was located on an almost in
accessible hill, and defended himself
furiously, with the result that all the
soldiers was killed or captured. Rein
forcements have been sent, and an
other fight is expected.
The great question here is the where
abouts of the Acquidaban. 1t is firmly
believed here that Mello, hearing of
the reshipment difficulties, is hurrying
north for fight, while his secret
friends here, many of whom are in
high positions, delay the Nictheroy all
they can for his sake.

THE CABINET DISCUSSES.
Hawaiian Matters Was an Interest
ing Theme Yesterday.

Washington, Jan S.-The cabinet
meeting today was longer than usual
and, undoubtedly, was largely devoted
to the Hawaiian question. A surprise
was furnished in the Hawaiian matter
by the action of the House committee
on naval affairs this morning, which
voted unanimously to favorably report
the Boutelle resolution to the House
This resolution is an ironclad one,
calling upon the secretary of the navy
to inform the House by what authority
instructions We're issued placing the
naval forces under the orders of Min
lister Blount and to furnish copies of
all orders or suggestions issued by
himself or any officer of the navy since
March 4, 1893, concerning the naval
forces at the Hawaiian Islands. An
amendment was made changing the
date to March 4, 1892 so the opera
tons of the navy in Hawaii under
the Harrison administration would be
Included. The secretary of the navy
was instructed to furnish the informa-
ton and was given no option to with
hold documents which he might con-
slider secret or public which at this
time might be regarded as contrary to
public policy.
Chairman Cummings, of the naval
committee, will report the Boutelle res
olution to the House Immediately, but
says it cannot be considered until the
debate on the Wilson bill is finished.

VIII Be Short and Sweet.

Denver, Jan. 9.-The extra session Of
the Legislature meets at noon tomor-
row. From the presnt indications the
session will be a very short one, and
the governors suggestions will receive
little or no consideration. Twenty-Five
senators are committed to the policy
of immediate adjournment, and a eau
Gus today appointed a committee to
prepare an address embodying resolu-
tons for taking this course.
In the House the vote on the ques-
ton of immediate adjournment will
be very close. Most Of the Populists,
it is said, will vote against an adjourn
men,.
The Republicans have a majority
of one in the House, but it is not be-
lieved that can be induced to favor
immediate adjournment.
The state central committee of both
wings of the Democratic party have
adopted resolutions urging upon the
Democratic members to vote for an adj
jOurnment.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Defnite news
from Hawaii by the Warrimoo. pub
lished this morning, brought flood
of inquiries to the state department.
James F. Blount, ex-commissioner
to Hawaii, who called at the depart
ment. declined to discuss the news
from Honolulu, or talk on the Ha-
waiian question at all. Later, Blount
went to the House of Representatives,
and mingled among his associates be-
fore appearing before the Senate COM
mittee of inquiry. He chatted on Ha-
waiian affairs with Representatives
Waite, Tarsney and others, but con-
fined his views to the interesting de-
scriptive features of his trip to Hawaii,
and had nothing to say on the merits
of the case or the situation at the pres
ent time. In response to question,
Blount told of his visits to the ex-
queen. His first visit lasted only five
minutes and the queen had little to
say, apparently desiring him to do all
the talking, and evidently not having
a clear idea of the situation Of affairs
at that time. Blount said among the
people there was a good opinion of
the queen and the sensational stories
concerning her found but little cred
ence. To one of the congressman, who
asked Blount If he attached much
significance to the rumor that the
British forces had been landed at
Honolulu for the ostensible purpose Of
projecting British interests, he said it
probably was for the sole purpose of
protection. Some members referred to
Blount's report, whereupon its author
said he had been compelled to make
it much longer than he wished. There
was a very general desire among the
people at Honolulu to say something
on the subject, and they made con-
slant applications to be heard, so that
much was necessary in avoiding prolix
statements AID cumulative evidence.
Mr.. Blount was asked for a statement
on the present situation. II have
nothing to add to my report said
he. "and in fact have no information
whatever on the condition of affairs
since I left the islands, and my report
is closed
Frank P. Hastings, Hawaiian charge
d affairs, also called at the state de-
partment this morning, but did not
see the secretary. The legation had
received no word from the Warrimoo
this morning, but confidently expected
telegram. The relations between the
legation and the state department re-
main undisturbed in any particular.
At the White House this morning,
there is evidence of special activity
in the rooms of the secretaries and
clerks. 1t is expected that another
special message will go to Congress
in very short time

the people into a nervous CONFUSION.
Every one expected, momentarily, an
attempt would be made to restore the
queen by force of arms It was thought
by the royalists and the provisional
government people alike. that the reve-
nue. cutter had brought instructions
from Cleveland to that effect. They
felt sure their long period of waiting
was now to be broken by something
decisive BuA for five days, Willis
made no sign. 1t was a fact they
were ready on the morning Of the 18th
to land. All the officers had been
called on board the ships, arms and
ammunition were ready and the great
guns trained on the palace. Willis will
say nothing about this. but the officers
on board the Philadelphia. and Adams
and the British gunboat Champion are
the World correspondents authority
for it.
Adwmiral Irwin was asked about this
message on the Hawaiian question
came, and said:
"Ah, we had the men ready, not to
attack the provisional government,
but to protect the citizens in case of
rioting."
Captain Rookie, of the Champion, the
night before, is said to have told some
ladies at party that the American.
British and JaUanese marines were
ito be landed next day and restore the
queen the same night.
A Herald correspondent met Hatch,
vice-president of the provisional gov
eminent, in Emma Square, where the
band was playing. Hatch said it
was the understanding of himself and
associates that the marines were to be
landed in the morning and the provis-
evidently changed his mind. On the
morning of the 10Th, he sent Consul
General Mills to the palace and in
formed the government he would like
Ito call upon them at that building
with a communication of Importance.
Dole and the cabinet said they would
be glad to receive Willis and the time
was set at 1:30 in the afternoon. Will
lis arrived at the appointed time. He
came alone and was received with due
gravity by Mr.. Dole. What transpired
has already been published.

to break open the doors, and the sena-
tors had to appeal to them not tc

ton that the ergeant-at-arms of the

before tomorrow's session.

cry for help, but owing to the dark
ness, was unable to locate the direc-
ton from which the sound came. He
heard a second cry, but it was too
much stihed Two sailors, who had
also heard the cries, reached the spot
about the same time as the officer.
They saw the body of man floating
in the river and, leaping in. brought
it to shore. Cheesman expired in a
few minutes.

ing committed the crime. What the
clergyman was doing on the wharf at
that time of night, and what was the
motive for the crime, is a mystery.
