Smallpox in Honolulu.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 17.-Late ad.
vices from Honolulu give definite
news concerning the whaling bark
Horatio, which arrived at Honolulu
from this port with Is cases of small
pox on board. The bark left San Fran
cisco November 20 and made one stop
before arriving at Honolulu. This was
at Van Doren's Bay, Central America
The first case Of small pox appeared
February s. It is believed it was con-
tracted at the bay. Two of the crew
died on the trip. Six are still suffering
severely. The others are convalescing.
The bark was quarantined, and as the
authorities at Honolulu are exercising
every precaution, it is probable that it
will not have much chance to spread.

SCANDAL IS GROWING
Federal Grand Jury Discharged at
Birmingham.
District Attorney Says They Refuse to
Bring in True Bills Even on
Conclusive Testimony

BIRMINGHAM, March 1.-THE scan
dial growinS out of the charge Of whole
sale fraud among certain federal COM
m!ssioners and deputy marshals in
North Alabama took a highly sensa-
tional turn to-day when District At
torney O'Neal made a motion before
Judge Bruce that the grand jury be
discharged.
He represented that he had brought
cases before them in which the guilt
of the parties was not only presump-
tive, but conclusive, yet they had re-
fused to make investigation or find
true bills. They were no longer sub
serving the purposes for which they
were organized or iurthering the ends
of Justice.
Judge Bruce granted the motion
and the jury was discharged upon the
consent of the jury to the proposition
that they could no longer do any good.
Mr. O'Neal then made a motion that
a new jury be summoned for the fol-
10 wing reasons: He was in receipt of
q communication from AttorneY-Gen-
eral 0lney pursuant to report to the
department of justice made by Exam
liner Chalmers, to the effect that gross
irregularities had occurred in making
up the Jury box for the term OF court,
The deputy clerk. had acted with the
jury commissioners in place of the
clerk in putting names in the box.
This deputy had kept the box and the
key for a day and half The deputy
clerk had endeavored to get the jury
commissioners to let him select the
names from half the counties in the
district. w. H. Hunter, one of the
commissioners under Indictment, had
furnished names for the jury box, as
had also G. @. Reid, a brother OF one
of the deputy marshals. The deputy
clerk is a warm, personal and political
friend OF the accused officials.
This motion was taken under adj
visement Until Monday, 1t is said the
grand Jury stood seven for finding true
bills and eleven against such action,
the latter jurors being friends OF the
accused. However, one OF the accused
commissioners and his clerk were in
dicted in five cases each for fraud, but
the jury refused to 60 further.
Examiner Chalmers believes the
jury was tempered with after it was
formed. Further developments are
expected next week. To-day's devel-
opments have caused great sensation
