NOT CREDITED.
No Fears of Serious Revolution in
Hawaii.

No official support can be obtained OF the
runners coming here by way OF San Fran
cisco OF a royalst revolution In Hawaii.
The latest advices to the State Department
and to the Hawaiian legation indicate that
peace and contentment prevail on the ISL
ands, and that the so-called royalst con-
spiracy was smothered before It had time
to grow to dangerous proportions. State
Department officials give no credence to
the alleged monarchical uprising, and scout
the idea of British interference in the in
terests of the late Queen Liliuokalani.
Secretary Gresham said last night that he
had not even heard the story. I'VE have
no advices OF a Hawaiian conspiracy" he
said, land nothing that would even tend
to show the possibility of such a thing. 1
should be much surprised to hear of any
successful conspiracy there
The officials at the Hawaiian legation do
not appear to be at all disturbed over the
reports of fresh plottings by royalists at
Honolulu against the provisional govern
ment. Mr.. Hastings, charge d'affaires. re-
ceived telegrapnic reports from his gov
ernment after the arrival of the Australia
at San Francisco, ten days ago, and Of the
Arawa, a week later. The substance Of
these reports was that everything was
quiet.
Mr.. Hastings says that the natives are
peaceable and willing to accept the new
government as 1t is, and have never been
infiamed nor stirred UP since its formation.
lie fears no danger from the band of men
who are now reported as having designs
against the government. There Is but one
full native-born in the list and they have
no lighting spirit The result Of any
trouble they might preciptate. Mr.. Hast
ings says, would be needless bloodshed
and their total defeat.
As an additional reason for doubling the
reports of an uprising, 1t Is pointed out
that the arrests Of the conspirators were
made six days before the steamer sailed
that brought the news. A week or two
weeks after conspiracy has been dis
coVeDed and the leading eonspirators ar
rested Is thought to be a poor time to be-
gin a revolution because the authorities
would be on the alert, and ready to nip
anything OF the kind in the bud 1t is
further said that the leaders Of the re-
public are resolute men, and that they
would never give up without a fight, which
the natives would be very unwilling TO
meet.

MANY ISMS FAVORED
Coming Conference of Peoples Party
Leaders.
THOSE WHO WILL Be PRESENT

THE SOCIALISTS DEMANDS

CHICAGO, December 26.-Much interest
is felt here in the conference of leaders of
the peoples party, to be held In ST. Louis
on the 2Sth and 10Th instants. Among
the leaders who have signified their inten-
ton of being present are Senator PETER
and Jerry Simpson Of Kansas. Chairman
Maxwell of the Illinois state central COM
mittee, Congressman Lafe Pence OF Colo
rado, Senator Kyle of South Dakota, Geo,
Schilling of Milwaukee. Gov. Lewelling of
Kansas and Tom Watson of Georgia. The
conference may result in some radical
changes in the party program.
Three diverse elem ents will, II Is said,
be found In the conference, and each will
party creed in the next national campaign,
The conference being unofficial, cannot
formulate platform or declaration OF
principles, but it's deliberations and con-
clusions will doubtless have great weight
and will have much to do with shaping
the future course of the party.
There is first a large and powerful ele-
ment In the party, headed by Chairman
Taubeneck himself which favors the con-
centration of the party strength upon q
single plank-silver. 1t is argued that the
it advocated too many reforms at once to
be effective, and that more enectual
contest should be waged upon a single is
sue. The advocates OF solitary silver
western mountain and Pacific states under
the populist banner and also capture many
of the southern states. This idea will be
advocated by western delegates and many
OF those from the south. F--a
There is another element which, while
strongly in favor of free silver. is inclined
to urge other measures Of relief we'll.
This element desires the adoption OF a na-
tonal platform containing four essential
planks-moneyr land, transportation and
taxation.
The first plank embodies the free silver
declaration and also demands the creation
of a greenback currency as well. Its de-
nands as to land and transportation are
those at present made by existing plat
forms, while the income tax will be de-
Tended and the single-taXers find room for
their favorite theory. s.-
The socialistic group will form the third
element r.
1t will, in fact be a Chicago product,
cago socialism. This element has but one
demand and that ii will insist upon That
is plank 10. In other words, If the popu-
list party expects to receive the aid and
support of the socialists IL must declare
that all means of production and distri-
button of commodities must belong to the
people. The champions of plank 10 will be
willing to support free silver or will ac-
cept the views Of the second element, pro-
vided plank 10 is also recognized. 1t will
thus be seen that the socialistic group
stands in a position to aid either of the
other factions in consideration of the recog-
milton of its own people. The outcome 10
one which will be awaited with interest.
If plank 10 is repudated 1t is hinted that
the socialists will, in all probability, sever
their connection with the party.

Milwaukee Reaching Out After Her
Fugitive Criminals.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, December 26.-A.
X. Linderfet, Mlwaukee's defaulting
librarian, who embezzled $4,000 of the
library funds, has been located in Paris,
where he is about to become physician.
He may never receive his degree, how
ever, as the district attorney last night
said he would extradite Linderfelt, bring
ing him back here, and prosecute him If
the county board will appropriate money
for that purpose. Linderfelt was con-
victed of embezzling l,4OO, and sentence
was suspended by Judge Sloan at the time
of the defalcation. Before he could be ar
rested on another charge he got out of
town, and no attempt was ever made to
bring him back. There was a demand that
he be tried and sentenced, but he got out
of the country and no trace of him discov-
cred urtil a few weeks ago.

PITTSBURG, December 2G-The coming
auction sale of the Western New York and
Pennsylvania at the suit of the Fidelity
Insurance, Trust and Safe Deposit Co.,
trustee, in this city, on February ), is
creating considerable discussion in railroad
circles throughout this section and the
east. The purchasers will In all probability
be the bondholders and a reorganization
will follow. There is an impression that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
pure hase the road. This is not true.
1t was figured out that 1t would cost the
Pennsylvania no less than S50OO0,C00 to ac-
quire it's ownership. The Pennsylvania
once owned a part of the system, and 1t
was not more than a dozen years ago that
II sold out it's interests.
The Western New York and Pennsyl-
vania is owned principally by residents Of
Belgium. The road has been made a sys-
tenn of 739 miles of track by the amalgama-
ton of half dozen or more smaller lines.

evening. Two passenger trains collided.
The Katy" south bound, and the west
bound II. and T. c. collided at crossing
one mile north of this city. The trains
were both heavily loaded with passengers.
1t seems quite miraculous that more were
not injured. Seventeen are reported to
have been hurt in the wreck. 1t is thought
two of the passengers will die.
The engine of the Katy ran into the rear
coach of the H and T. c., striking it about
midway, tearing the seats up and scat
tering the coach fixtures about promiscu-
ously.
The following is a list Of the injured:
j. T. Edling, Omaha, side, arm and head
bruised: T. j. Hester, ,Corsican,a broken rib,
hip hurt; Mrs. Enos, Waxahachie, thought
to be fatally injured; Lee Vance and wife

Decatur and from Nashville and today at
. o'clock the debris had been cleared away
and the track replaced. The morning

LIFE SAVING MEDALS.
A Circular Setting Forth the Condi-
tiOns of Their Award.

The Secretary of the Treasury today is
sued a circular prescribing regulations to
govern the award OF gold and silver life
saving medals within the jurisdiction of the
Treasury Department. According to this
circular the saving of life or giving of sue
cor does not, in itself, entitle person to a
medal The medals are given in only those
exceptional Instances in which peculiar
bravery has been displayed, or in which
unusual effort or some great personal
sacrifice has been made 1t also appears
that under a recent opinion of the Attor-
ney General, the saving of persons from
drowning in waters wholly within a state
and not forming part Of the navigable
waters of the United States or in small in
land streams. ponds. pools. ETC., does not
entitle the rescuers to medals.

HOW TO USE WATER.

Except for grass and grain crops
water should not be used by flooding,
and it certainly should not be used i'll
the preparation of the ground for the
planting of either of them. There are
certain crops upon which the water
may be used with impunity, SO far as
touching the plant isconcerned. Some
of the stronger of the garden vege
tables will not be injured by any use
of water, while others will certainly
be, if the water is allowed to touch
the stem of the plant. Under the best
circumstances it does no good, and is
certainly liable to do injury.
1t should be remembered, too, that
running water upon the surface of
hard baked land or rain washed land,
under a hot sun, will be attended with
almost as rapid evaporation as it would
be if poured upon the top of a hot
stove, nor is it's effect advantageous to
the surface of the soil when SO applied
If, on the other hand, the surface be
broken, SO as to apply the water to the
cool under soil, the ABSORPTION is much
more rapid and more thorough. and
then, with the pulverized surface soil,
no matter how dry, thrown back upon
it, will serve to retain it there many
times longer than it will if applied

POINTS ON SELLING DUCKS.

The prices of ducklings go up as the
watering places begin to open. They
are known as green ducks" and they
begin to come into the market about
the middle of May, the prices holding
until the 1st of July, and from then
the prices gradually decline. The
adult ducks must not be COMPOUNDED
with the green ducks. The latter are
of this seasons hatch. and should
weigh from seven to eight pounds per
pair, being about ten weeks old.
Prices range, namely, from twenty to
thirty cents per pound during the
time the demand is greatest, and after
that period the market yields to some
thing else. The green ducks are not
to be had from common puddle ducks,
but the breed generally used is the
Pekin, which is good layer and
grows speedily under heavy feeding !;
they often reach five pounds each when
ten weeks old. Some breeders, to give
vigor, begin with Pekin females and
cross them with Rouen brakes, using
an Aylesbury drake the next season
and then going back to the Pekin.
Aylesbury and Pekin ducks are white,
and are therefore more easily dressed
for market, and they are more salable.
Unless you are willing to keep the
large breeds don't try to raise ducks,
as it will not pay. Mirror and

GENERAL. NEAL. DOW.

The ninetieth birthday of General Neal
Dow was enthusiastically celebrated at his
home in Portland, Me-, and congratulations
came to the venerable temperance advocate
from all parts of the world. Early in the
day callers began to arrive and General Dow
received them in person. Several bushel-
hasketfuls of kilograms and letters were re-
ceived and clerks were occupied all day in
opening and arranging them.
The veteran temperance advocate arose at
an early hour and ate hearty breakfast. In
the forenoon he held an informal reception
in his parlor, many of his friends and neigh
bors calling to present congratulations. He
was in high spirits, evidently being greatly
olated over the congratulations and mes
sages which poured in on him by mail and
telegraph.
During the day General BOWS house was
crowded with people coming to extend con-
gratulatiOnS.
At night in City Hall there was a great
meeting. Addresses were made by General
Seiden Connor the Rev. Matt s. Hughes
and Mrs. Clara c. Hoffman, of Missouri.
General Dow made a speech in response.
Letters and kilograms were read, and a
presentation was made of portrait of Gen
cral Dow for tho State House. A poem
written for the occasion was read by Caro-
line Dana Howe.
The nineteth birthday of General Neal
Dow, the American temperance advocate,
was also celebrated in all parts of England.
At Exeter Hall, London, meeting was held
at which Lady Somerset presided. A cable
message Of congratulation by request was
forwarded to General Dow, to be read at the
celebration in Portland, Ne. More than two
hundred meetings were held in various parts
of the United Kingdom.

PRUNING HARDY SHRUBS.

It seems hardly necessary to repeat
what we have SO often stated. about
pruning shrubs with view to the
production Of namely, that
those which produce flowers on the
wood made the previous year-among
which the honeysuckles, forsythias,
early sp1raas, lilacs, viburnums, deut-
zias and Philadelphus are prominent
exampIes-shouldr receive their severest
cutting soon after the Towering season
is over This stimulates the growth
of the new wood, which Will bear
flower buds for the next spring.
OF course, if these shrubs are cut
back in the autumn or winter or IN
early spring, before they bloom, the
flower buds are removed. On the
other hand, late blooming shrubs,
like the panicled hydrangea, hibicus
and lespedeza, should be cut in hard
in early spring SO that they may make
a strong growth of wood and buds for
flowers which open in late simmer
and early autumn. Garden and

Killing Porpoises by Electricity.

Electricity has recently been util-
lied for purposes of fishing. A net of
sardinia, as it is called, which was
nearly 1900 feet long, and is used for
catching sardines, was taken, and All
electric cable with dynamite cartridges
at intervals of fifty feet, was placed
upon the edge of 1t. The cable was
connected with an electric battery up
on the torpedo boat i'll such a way
that all the cartridges might be fired
simultaneously. The net was let down
at five in the morning i'll very deep
water, and before this was done the
neighboring fishermen had been asked
not to go out, in order that there
might be nothing to disturb the por-
poises. About all hour after the net
had been let down, the pospoises came
up in large numbers, and when good
many fish had been got into tho net,
there were about eighty just around it.
The cartridges were then fired, and
the explosion was 50 effective that one
only of the eighty porpoises escaped,
while the boats in the vicinity felt no
shock, and the water was very little
disturbed.
