LKxow INQUIRY.

The Police Wore Brlbed Not to Inter-
fero With Corbetps Sparring ExhibI-
tion-The Naughtiness of the French
Ball.
New YORK, Dec. 6.-To-day was red
letter in the history Of the Lexow com.
mlttee. A new source OF revenue to the
police was developed. Frank W. San.
ger, the theatrical manager, testified
that during the sparring exhibition
given Corbstt at the Madison Square
Garden, Brady. corbetfs manager,
drew $3.50 from the box office to pay for
police protection. Brady, who was
placed upon the stand, after much hesi-
tatiou, admitted that Sanger's testimony
was correct. Later, however, Mr.. Brady
denied that no had ever personally
paid the money for police protection:
He said that wrestler Muldoon had
agreed to see that the police would not
interfere with the match for twenty-five
per oent OF the gate receipts.
The subject of the French ball was
next taken up. The ofticera denied hav-
ing paid money Tor police protection.
Some OF the former officers OF the ball
and some OF the attaches md employees
told different stories, however. The
Lexow committee dipped into all the
naushtiness OF the French ball, and
some of the country members OF the
committee seemed very much shocked
at the accounts given, but these state
ments were emphatically denied by the
officials Of Cercle de Harmonic, the
society which has the French balls in
charge. According to their statements
there was no high kicking, and the ball
would compare tayorably with any OF
the social events given by any one oil
the fraternal, benevolent or charitable
organizations OF New York City.
During the inquiry into the Corbett
sparrinc affair Frederick Gallagher tes-
tilted that Mitchell refused to box with
Corbett because he objected to allowing
the police one.third the receipts Of the
performance.
When the French ball matter came
up the president and secretary OF the
French society both testified that no
money had been paid to the police.
Rene Dupre, the Frenchman who has
held the bar privileges at the French ball
for several years, was then called to the
stand.
"Did you ever pay any money TO the
police at these balls" he was asked.
81 always paid 81 80 after o'clock.
"And who did you pay this money
to?"
"a police sergeant"
"For what purpose
40 allow the sale OF wine to go on
after o'clock" =.
No one had asked him not to testify.
The next witness was James Weber, a
former president OF the French cooks
society. He testified that under his
presidency it was habit to pay the
police $50 alter midnight to buy their
silence. Y. Broquerios, also d former
president, testified to the same effect.

The position becoming untenable.
Ggrogos left the defense to the women,
himself leading his troops on forage
for food aud ammunition on August %
The women defended the position for
twenty.four hours, but finally yielded
10 numbers. They issued from the
town with their children and carrying
babies on their backs. Ggrogos' wife,
finding escape impossible, stepped on q
rock and cried:
"Sisters, you must choose between
falling into the hands Of the Turks and
forgetting your husbands, homes, re.

These words. holding her baby in her
arms she dashed herself from the rock
into the abyss yawning at its base. The
other women and children silently fol-
lowed her example until the ravins was
filled with corpses. :.
The last woman who threw herself
down fell unhurt upon the bodies
Of her companions. The scene
struck the enemy with horror. About
fifty women and ono hundred children
were taken prisoners and endured tor.
ture rather than to betray Ggrogos and
his brave followers. Ggrogos heroic
wife was called Schakhe, and it is de.
clarod that the name deserves to be
known throughout Europe.

The Time OF the House Devoted to the
Railroad Pooling Bill.
WAsHISoroX. Dec. 6-The entire time
Of the house to-day was occupied in the
discussion OF the railroad pooling bill,
to which there appears to be a great
deal OF opposition. No action, how.
ever. was taken on the bill to-day.
Messrs. Cooper, Florida; Gresham.
Texas; Morse. Massachusetts,, and Dam
iels, New York, took part in the debate.
The former directed his opposition to
the section giving the railroads the
power to carry questions relating TO the
revocation OF pooling orders into the
courts, and offered substitute giving
the interstate commerce commission
absolute control over all pooling con-
tracts Messrs. Gresham and Morse
favored the bill, while MIR. Daniels at.
tackled it on the ground that it would
subvert the objects Of the interstate
commerce law.

SPORTS AT EVA.
An Enjoyable Holiday Given the
Plantation Men.

The sports at Eva Saturday were
a great success. A large number
of Honolulu people went down on
the early train. Part of the Ma
tional band was present, and fur
nished music that was greatly en-
joysd by all.
The sports began about 10
o'clock. The first events were horse
races. The first two races were for
a $40 prize, with $40 to the second
Both races were won by H. S. Pad
gett's horse. The third and last
race was free for all plantation
horses, and was won by Alfred Rs-
phael. The prize was $40.
The creased pig contest was the
source of much amusement. The
porker was chased all over the
ground, and finally caught by Pc
ter Davidson, who received his cap
ture as the prize.
In the rife shoot, at a distance
of 200 yards, NJ. Daley made the
highest score, twenty out of pos
sible twenty-five. He was closely
pushed, however, by T. Jones, who
made 10 and took the second prize.
Other sports INDUCED in were
foot races, sack races, three-legged
races, and boys races. A tug-of-
war, between natives and Portu-
guese, seven on a side, resulted in
a victory for the former.
There were also a number of
japanese wrestling matches, for
which prizes amounting to over
$40 were given the victors.
In the evening a dance was
given at the house of Mr.. Fergu-
son, the head luna. 1t was a most
enjoyable affair. Music was fur
nished by the band.
The day was a success in every
particular. There was no disturb
ance Of any kind and all the laborers
of so many nationalities agreed
perfectly. Manager Denison, of
the Oahu Railway Company, gave
free transportation to the bandboys
and also furnished canopy car for
the accommodation of passengers.

GUARD FOR CLEVELAND.
Precautions Taken to Protect the
President From Cranks.

WASHINGTON, June ga mus
cular man in top boots and with
anything but a pleasure-seeking
air about him, stood on the curb
stone under the shade of Lafayette
Park elm this afternoon. He held
By the bride a horse that had but
few points Of the thoroughbred
about him, but looked serviceable
under a heavy cavalry saddle. The
man seemed to have nothing to do
but to wait. When the White
House carriage drove around this
mysterious form suddenly devel-
oped alertness. He frightened his
saddle strap and looked up and
down the avenue. In few min
utes President Cleveland came out
of the White House and got into
the carriage. The man under the
elm Immediately mounted. He
walked his horse along the avenue
until the Presidents carriage had
passed out of the White House
grounds and turned into Jackson
Place. Then the stranger started
into a trot and followed, keeping,
however, a distance of $40 yards
between the Presidents carriage
and himself.
This is a precaution which has
been adopted since the assassina-
ton of Carnot. The man who rides
behind the President at distance
to avoid attracting attention is
heavily armed detective, quick with
his weapons and a fine horseman.
he follows at distance
he can place himself beside the
carriage in a very few seconds, and
is expected to do so if any one
leaves the Sidewalk to approach the
President, or if anything that can
be construed as a hostile demon

GIANT CRABS THAT CLIMB
TREES.
Four Feet in Diameter and Can
Crack COcOanuts With Their
Claws.

When the naturalists of Cali
fornia have completed their collec-
ton of sharks and sea serpents,
British Columbia has a curiosity
to present for inspection which they
will find fully as worthy of their
scientific attention. The specimen,
or specimens, for there are two of
them. is still alive, and, although
not yet Injured to the chill of north
ern ATTITUDES, enjoying a fair meas
ure of good health. at" is a giant
member of the crab family, dark
green in color, and measuring up
ward of four feet in diameter, the
largest crab that ever crossed a
torrid sand or climbed cocoanut
tree, and rejoicing in variety of
names, of which the 'robber crab"
is the most familiar, and "Lirgos
latro" the scientific. Strange to
say, neither the specimens secured
nor any of their kind have ever
been known to enter the water.
They belong to the purely land or
tree-climbing family, no worthy
representative of which has yet
found its way into the British
Museum, and which are so rare
that that institution has entered a
heavy bid for one or both of those
captured. The museum authori-
ties will send a man all the way
from London to take possession if
the present owners decide to sell.
The crabs were brought to Vic
toria by the schooner Norma, CO.
coanut laden from Tanning and
Washington islands, which is now
discharging her cargo. They were
secured at Palmyra islands, in the
South Pacific, and as yet have de-
veloped no dangerous propensities,
though quite willing to give exhi-
billions of their strength, breaking
broom handles and such toys as if |
they were pipestems. 1t would be
the simplest thing in the world for
them to crush a mans leg or arm
in similar way, but, fortunately, |
they are slow to anger or to action,
and take life SO lazily that any one
can get out of harms way on see
ing danger ahead. One cocoanut
a day serves as a meal, the nut
being cracked as if it were an egg,
and the kernel slowly devoured.
In appearance the crabs remind
one of nothing so much as over
grown and exaggerated spiders with
abnormally developed bodies and
4 wonderful wealth Of legs. Capt.
f. D. Walker and his SONS are very
proud Of their captives, which, they
assert, are as rare as birds of para
