LII DIDN'T WANT LIVES.
SOME INSIDE HISTORY IN THE
HAWAIIAN TROUBLE.
Strong Feeling Said to Exist Again I
Annexation of the
Islnnds.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.-A special to
the Examiner from Victoria, B. c., says:
''It va. learned in an interview with
o we'll informed authority recently in
Honolulu, that an important cause Of
the dissatisfaction in Honolulu 10 the
niggardliness of President Dole and the
cabinet. Dole, though receiving SIC, 900
q year, does not spend more than $1,000.
while under the royalists' regime the
queen and her supporters were most
lavish.
"A misinterprstation had been placed
on Liliuokalani's position toward those
who stirred up the revolution. She did
not demand their heads. United States
Minister Willis. who was friendly to the
provisional government, waited on the
queen and the conversation turning ON
amnesty for the revolutionists in the
event OF her restoration. the queen
said that she must have time to consult
her advisers aud be governed BY the
man and the law. To this the inter>
probation WAS given that she must have
their lives.
"After this Willis went to Dole and
demanded that the government be re-
turned over to the queen. 1t was
understood that in no event would
American vessels resort to arms. Some
of the mon now in power were in the
queens service and the moment they
see prospect of q change will deeert
to her. Others who see that they can
make nothing will stand by the present
system. A majority of the natives ia
vor the queen and are jealous Of foreign
interference. eas.as 6gs yeiHloa
"A very strong feeling still exists
against annexation to the United States
and even members of the American
League are not all favorable. However,
much may be said OF the election. 1t was
one-sided, as . majority of the people
would not take the oath Of allegiance
to the new rulers. Money is scarce, as
the operation of the Mckinley bill has
almost destroyed the sugar industry.
and the Wilson bill only benefits the
United States sngar trusts to the disad.
vantage Of Hawaiian sugar growers,
whom annexation would not benefit be-
cause it would make II impossible to
employ cheap oriental labor.
"Should there be any difficulty It will
be before long, and this the government

New York, Dec. N.-Edward r..
Carter, transfer and coupon clerk at the
National Bank Of Commerce. 30 Nassau
street, was arrested here as defaulter.
Carter is charged with appropriating
$50 900 Of the banks money, and it is
said confessed his guilt. He 10 A years
old. He lived with his wife and two
children. a daughter 20 years old. and
son in Brooklyn. For % years Carter
has been in the employ OF the bank.
According to the story told to the police
he began his peculations two years ago,
ut first taking only small sums. He
would say very little to the police, and
maintained silence as to what induced
him to take the money and what he did
with 1t. To the bank officials he was
not SO reticent. as q statement OF W. W..
Sherman, president Of the bank, shows.
The statement is as follows:
'Tne National Bank of Commerce
Las sustained a defalcation by its trans.
fer and coupon clerk. Edward r. Garter,
amounting to $4,000. Carter began as
q messenger boy, being promoted from
time TO time till he reached his presen /
position. Among his other duties he
was required to receive all psy coupons
and all maturing or cullsd bonds. On
comparing a balance yesterday morn.
ing the officers discovered discrepan cy
OF some $2S, 900, which he accounted for
by claiming to have paid in error that
amount OF bonds before their maturity.
When asked to produce the bonds he
was unable to do 30 and admitted his
guilt. 1t is not learned that he specu-
lated or INDUCED in any vices. He
claimed to have used the money in his
living expenses.
''The loss. OF course. is not a serious
one for the bank, which has a capital OF
$5.000.0 600 and surplus and undivided
profits of $3.500.000. but the defslca.
tion is none the less distressing, as Car
ter had the confidence Of all vino came
in contact with him."
Beyond this official statement no
officer of the bank would say snythin q
about the matter.

Charges Against the management Of tho
Deaf and Dumb Asylum.
SAN Francisco. Dec. 27.-Investiga-
tion of recent charges made by Coogsn,
Nelson and Gillen against the adult
blind home in Oakland has been made.
The two men said to have been neg
lected and refused food when ill, deny it
and say they never said so.
The priest who attended Donovan be-
fore his death, says that the patient was
we'll cared for. and never complained of
neglect. The testimony shows that
Ivelli, who died December 10, and was
alleged to have been neglected in his
last honrs. was attended at midnight
and by the wstchman every few min
utes until he died.
The foregoing facts are testified to by
twelve witnesses. The charges are al
legged to have originated with few in
subordinate inmates who are opposed
to the discipline of the institution
which forbids drunkenness and vulgar
language on the grounds and compels
good order.

HAvERHILL, Mass, Dec. 27.-With 80
per cont OF the shoe workers OF this city
earning less than 81 a week. the Inter
national Labor union made demand
on the manufacturers that they should
restore the prices that existed before the
panic of 1893, the shoe industry at the
present time being at its height. The
machine lasters were called out. but no
compromise could be effected.
The affair eliminated when W. W.
Spaulding, the largest manufacturer in
the city, locked out all his turner men
because they attended the labor rally.
Labor strikers and locked-out men
formed q parade last night and marched

only grievances against few manufao-
turers, all the shoe manufacturers will
be concerned. While $4,000 confa-
grafton was raging the fourth parade of
the day was formed and headed for the

A SPECULATOR'S SCHEME
ADVANCE CROP REPORTS FROM

A Leak in WashinEton Enables ChIcag O

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent is of the
opinion that there is leak in the sgri-
cultural department. and that certain
officials and spectators have been
working the markets successfully by
getting in advance government crop
reports. In special to the Herald he
says:
Probably Robert Lindblom ID not
the only Chicago speculator who be-
lieves that the monthly crop report.

cultural department, is stolen and made
use OF by operators in the market in ad-
vance OF it's official publicatio For

acreage aad condition of the crops, and
1t often happens that this information
is . convenient thing to have day or
two ahead of the other fellows on the
board.
GROW RICH.
"Here in Washington it has been inn
possible to overlook the fact that certain
officials, under former administrations, 9,
having these crop figures in their pos.
session have grown rich faster than the
amount of their salaries woald appear
to justify. One official is reported to

in an investigation Of specific charges,
some years ago. nothing was proved
against him. The obvious facts were
dreadfully suspicious, but no proof oi
guilt could be found,
''Are the crop reports peddled out to
speculators under this administration ?
This is question which not only Secre-
tsry Morton and Statistician Robinson
but q great many Chicago spectators
are interested in. Robert Lind blom
says they are. and that he could prove it
if considerations of honor did not forbid.
sTRAws.
There are some facts which indicate
that Mr.. Lindblom may be right. One
month. recently, on the evening befor Q
the statistician's report came out. Sec
retary Morton received q telegram from
this same Robert Lindblom, saying:
"'Your tomorrow's report will show
70 as the condition of corn.'
"Sure enough, next days report
showed that very percentage.
This was rather startling, but not
more 80 than the incidents OF another
occasion. Statisticisn Robinson went
into Secretary Morton's office with his
monthly report
"'What is the condition OF wheat? p
inquired the secretary.
OnerhvRdrsd and two.' replied the
statisticiaR, plaScing his table on the sec.
retary's desk. To the0statstician's great
surprise, Mr.. Morton pulled another pa
per from his pocket.
Read that telegram, exclaimed the
secretary, and Ststistician Robinson
read message from New York as fol-
lows: Your wheat report today will
show the condition 102. ae
''Ihese incidents naturally aroused
the suspicions of the secretary and his
statistician, and they have set on foot
an investigation. but they claim they
have not as yet found the sak."
