ION NO. Last Night.
Division No. 2. Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans. gave an entertainment last evening
at Drew's Hall which proved 10 be most
enjoyable one. There was a large attend
ance, and the well-rendered programme
was received with much enthusiasm.
President Nj. F. Donleavy acted as mas
ter of ceremonies and delivered a short
address after which long list of perform
ers entertained the audience in pleasing
manner. Vocal and instrumental music
interspersed with recitations and addresses
comprised the programme. and each num-
Der was received with tremendous applause.
One of the principal features of the
evening was the rendition of a number of
selections by a boy orchestra. The oldest
performer was not more than 16 years of
age. while little Willie Dewey, who played
the cornet, was only s. His instrument
when held In his mouth, almost hid from
view the possessor of the pair of lungs
which blew the Shrieking notes through
the winding tubes in an astonishing man
ner. The youngsters won for them selves
much well -deserved applause.
Another boy prodigy, LeDnie Tully,
played a clariOnet solo which brought
down the house.
Harry Fowler sang comic song in
character, aud so captivated his listeners
that an encore was imperative. He
responded and kept the audience in a con-
SAINT roar while he rendered "At the Fair"

JOINED BY A THIRD MAN.
EX-ConVict FrederiCkS Said to Be
With the Bandit.
THEY ARE GOING SOUTHWARK.
While Well Armed the FugitiVeS
Took a Sunday Dinner at
Stokes Valley.

FRESNO. Jan. 3.-Chris Evans is still
at large. 1t is almost week since he left
town, and Sheriff Scott and the faithful
portion of his posse are still securing Pine
Flat and adjacent territory in hopes of
securing some clew to the bandits where
abouts. Whether the Sheriff has been
informed that Evans is on the road to
Mexico or not, he still hunts in Evans
favOrite hills, hoping that he may come
up with his man and make his capture.
The rumor which comes from Bakers
field to effect that Evans and Morrel
were seen near there yesterday evening
finds little favor with the citizens here who
are we'll informed as to Evans character.
Few think him silly enough to travel in
that open country in broad daylight as
reported. The situation may be summed
up in few words, and that is this: No
one except Evans closest friends know
anything about where he is. However.
there seems to be good grounds for assum-
ing that Evans and Morrell are not alone,
but have third companion. who is none
other than the ex-cOnvict Fredericks. who
is supposed to have Struggled arms into
Folsom prison and attempted to liberate
E1OuthR,
Fredericks is known to have been in the
county some time and as friend Of Evans
probably figured in the escape. Mark
Walser, Assistant District Attorney, who
has been with the posse. returned this
evening at o'clock satisfied that it is
pleasanter and safer to remain right here.
PAso RoBLEs, Jan. at is rumored
here that Evans is making for this section.
At one time Evans lived at Adelaide, ff-
teen miles from here, where he now has
friends. Suufower Valley, near here, is
also point that he will no doubt visit if
coming this way, for be has friends and
relatives there. Many people in this sec
ton knew Chris before he was known
as train-robber. one person in particular.

He holds 1t at good price, now looking
for raiSei when Chris makes a better
record Of murder and robbery. Evans will
have an exceptionally mountainous coun-
try, every foot known by him, to travel
over when he arrives in the Adelaide sec
ton.
VIsALIA. Jan. ga report was con-
irmed to-day that Chris Evans was at
Stokes Valley, twenty miles northeast CT
this city, on Sunday, where he took dinner.
He was well armed and carried heavy
valise, which he said had valuable con-
tents. Ii was not stated in what direction
he went. 1t is believed that he was pre-
pared to leave the country and on the way.

HAWAII AND THE TARIFF.
Senator Frye Puts a Check Upon
the President.
REPUBLICANS GET FIRST BLOOD.
The Majority in the House Could Not
Muster a Quorum to Do
Business.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-When the Sem
ate was called to order at noon hardly
score of members were in their seats, and
there was considerable delay before
quorum was secured. After the reading
of the journal Black burn of Kentucky pre-
scented the credentials of Senator Epps
Hunton of Virginia. who took the oath of
Office.
Frye presented a resolution declaring
that in the opinion OF the Senate, during
the investigation Of the Committee on
Foreign Relations of our relations with
Hawaii. there should be no interference
on the part of the United States by moral
influence or physical force for the restora-
ton of Queen Liliuokalani or the main
tenance of the Provisional Government of
the Hawaiian Islands, and that the naval
forces should be used in the Islands only
for the protection of the lives and property
of American citizens. FRYE asked that the
resolution lie upon the table for the pres
emf, and stated he would later ask It's ref
erence to the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons. The resolution occasioned manifes-
tations of interest. and doubtless will soon
become the subject of discussion.
Hill presented a bin limiting the effect
OF the regulations Of commerce between
the several States and with foreign coun-
tries.
A bill called up by Pugh of Alabama for
the relief of certain aliens who bad &C.
quired property in the district occasioned
much discussion, as it developed the fact
that aliens were incompetent to hold prop
erty in the District of Columbia.
- Harris of Tennessee thought the present
law obnoxious and that general bill should
be introduced permitting aliens to hold
property In the district
Issue Oh this point was promptly taken
by COckrell of Missouri. who approved the
present law and said be hoped the time
would never come when aliens could hold
property in the District of Columbia.
After some further discussion Harris
withdrew his objections and the bill
passed. it being for the relief of David 3.
GodWell, and legalizng his owners ship of
real estate in the district.
At II 40 o'clock, on motion of Senator
German, the Senate went into executive
session. and at its conclusion adjourned.
The executive session was held for the
purpose Of taking up nominations which
had been reported from committees and TO
which no objection had been made in the
Senate. AS there was not quorum pres
ent a single objection was sufficient
to send a nomin over, and sew
eral went over under the operation of this
rule. The nomination of r. E. Preston,
Director of the Mint. was among those
called up and disposed of for the time in
this way. 1t has become evident that he
cannot be confirmed in the absence of a
quorum, but his friends do not anticipate
failure when the real test shall come.

FAVOR REORGANIZATION.
Bondholders Show a Disposition to
Crowd the Gulf Road.

DENVER, Colo. Jan. 3.-Comment has
been caused by the fact That the interest
on the Colorado Central bonds and on the
Consolidated bonds of the Gulf system dur
ing December and January has not been
paid. The receiver has not applied to the
court for authority TO pay the same it is
understood, and the possibility Of fore
closure has been raised again. 1t is quite
evident that the bondholders are in SYM
pathy with the reorganization of the
Union Pacific in its original entirety and
are watching the situation very closely.
Unless the receiver can get the system in
shape to meet the interest due in June and
pay the overdue interest the opinion of
some of the interested parties is that fore
closure proceedings will follow.
1t is stated that e. S. Stebbins has been
selected as general passenger agent of the
Denver, Texas and Gulf road. Stebbins
is an old-time Union Pacific passenger
agent,

SerVatiVe Lines.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3-The first month of

and this is notably so with certain finan-
cial institutions. The State banking
department is doing all in its power, by
insisting that all financial institutions un-
der its supervision shall put their affairs In
good shape with all their assets marked
down TO rock bottom" valuations. The
case of the Holland Trust Company,
which is going into liquidation, is an illus

And the State Institutions are not the

recommend to the stockholders at their
