New YORK, Aug. S.-A Worlds
special from Washington says: The Re-
public of Hawaii has been formally
recognized by the United States through
the Secretary of State. The republic Gov
ernment in Hawaii, it will be remem-
bered, was set up July 4th. On the fol-
lowing day Minister Willis extended
recognition, so far as it was within his
power, to the new republic. Mr.. Willis
action has been discussed, but no decis-
ion was reached until to-day, when Sec
retary Gresham, under the direction of
the President, sent formal note to the
Minister approving his course.
Although the text OF Greshamis letter
has not been made public, it is under
stood that the President extended to the
new republic the hearty good wishes of
the United States. Tho representatives
of the Queen started for Washington as
soon as the new republic was formed
and they have been here for several days
endeavoring to induce the State Depart
ment to withhold recognition and to in
sist that Liliuokanali be extended the
assistance of the Government in her
efforts to regain power. The action to-
day disposes of the whole question and
closes the unfortunate diplomatic Incl
dent.
Secretary Gresham visited the Capitol
to-day and informed Senator Gray of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
and Chairman McCreary of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs that the
President had formally recognized the
Hawaiian Republic. No official an
nouncement was given out for publica-
tion to-day. and for this reason neither
Senator Gray nor McCreary would dis
cuss the subject.

ins baggageman for the Burlington at
the depot at Charlton, Ia. to-day shot his
sweetheart, Julia Murphy, her sister
Josie, their mother and himself. Jenk-
ms and Josie are now dead, while the
mother and sister are fatally injured.
Jenkins had been devoted to Julia for
five years, and she had received his at
tentions. Mrs. Murphy kept a boarding
house. and becoming more enamored
each day with Miss Murphy, he became
more bold in speaking out against the at
tentions of the other man until quarrel
occurred over the matter.
Mrs. Murphy requested him to find
another boarding house. This he did,
and did not seem to feel at all hurt, but
kept calling at the Murphy house. No
one knows why he became particular y
excited and jealous to-day, but he went
over to the house in a bad mood, and had
some words with Julia about the atten-
tions of man. He then drew pistol
and shot her. Turning to the mother,
who had rushed into the room, he shot
her twice without word, after which
he stepped into the hall. where
the sister stood, and shot her, killing
her instantly. He then blew out his own
brains. Jenkins has always borne an
excellent reputation, and the general be-
lief is that he was insane.
