from the flying half at o'clock. He
was paced by Lumsden and Citizens

While pacing Bliss, Lumsden and

Philadelp hia.
POSSIBILITY OF A REVOLT
And Attempt to Overthrow
the Newly Established
Republic.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. %. - The
United States Philadelphia ar
rived this afternoon from Honolulu,
bringing the following advices:
Honolulu, Aug. 12.-Six days ago it
was announced that the cruiser Phila
delphia was to leaye here. and about
the same time the captain of the British
ship Champion stated that his vessel
was about to leave on two weeks
cruise, ostensibly to look over the route
of the proposed Pacific cable. On the
day following these announcements a
petition was circulated by the British
residents asking that the Champion re-
main. The petitioners pro1essed to be
In fear of trouble if they were left with
out armed protection. The Champions
commander agreed to remain in port,
whereupon Admiral Walker announced
that he had changed his mind about
sailing with the Philadelphia. aud that
he, too. should remain in port. This
unexpected change in the plans of the
naval commanders created unusual
comment. The royalists professed to
believe that had the Philadelphia left
there would have been all uprising
against the government.
Men high in the governme nt's coun-
ellis, however, declared they were anx-
ious to have the Philadelphia leave. as
it would give them a chance to show
the royalists that the government
needed no outside protection. The
wishes of these confident supporters of
the government we're gratified when the
mail from San Francisco brought posi-
tive orders to Admiral Walker for the
Philadelphia to proceed to Mare island
at once.

CASH IS POURING IN.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 90. - Receipts
from internal revenue sources continue
to be abnormally large, with every
prospect of continuing so until the new
tariff bill goes into effect. During the
last seven working days from Aug. Is,
the receipts have reached the
unprecedented sum of 81, ,OO0, 122, and
it is confidently expected that
by next Saturday at midnight, when the
new act will become operative, the ag-
gregate receipts for the preceding ten
days will have reached SIS, 900, 900. These
large receipts under the circumstances
are deprecated by the treasury officials.
who liken the situation to that of the
poor man, paying 10 per cent per month
for money upon which to live. The
reason for this is that the aid that comes
to the treasury in this way IS only tenn
porary at best, and will only add to the
embarrassment later on, for on oyery
gallon of whiskey now being drawn the
government, sooner or later, is bound to
lose 20 cents. AS soon as the tariff bill
goes into operation the receipts from
this source are expected to drop down to
merely nominal amount aud so con-
tinue for months, until the great supply
now being laid In is exhausted.
These abnormally large receipts have
swelled the cash balances in the treas
ury to nearly S121, 100000. AT the same
time the gold reserve is slowly increas-
ing until 1t is now about S54. 600, 900.
This increase is due almost entirely to
the Western demand for small notes
with which to harvest the crops. Under
the terms of the special circ ular issued
by the United States treasury in June
last small notes are exchanged only for
gold, and very substantial sums are now
being received daily from this source,
The demand for small notes has not vet
set in from the South, but the move
ment of cotton, now beginning, is ex.
pected to bring in considerable sums of
gold, SO that for the present at least,
the embarrasstnsnts Which have threat
ened the treasury have passed by.

The convention was called to order at 10

tees on platform and resolutions and

voted to refer all resolutions to the CON-

YANKTON, S. D., Aug. 22.-The Re-
publican state convention was called to
order by Chairman Green, of the state
central committee, at 4:30 p. m. Will
lam B. Sterling, of Beadle county, was
made temporary chairman. The tenn
porary organization was made in the in
terest of R. J. Gamble. congressional
aspirant, and he seems to be certain OF
one of the congressional places. Lucas
and Pickler will have to fight it out be.
tween themselves for the other place.
A break has occurred against the re-
nomination of Gov. Sheldon for gov
ernor. A caucus of lis of his opponents
has selected W. NJ. Sheldon, of Hand
county, as the man TO contest the nomi-
nation with Gov. Sheldon. who halls
from Day county. The selection of the
caucus does not infuse much enthusiasm.
The balloting will be reached tomor-
row.
Committees Named.
The convention held brief evening
session to receive committees from the
temporary chairman. The following
Resolutions, Caldwell, of Minnehaha:
permanent organization, Nash. of Lin
coin; credentials, Powers. of Custer;
rules of order and business, Elliott, of
Bon Homme. The platform will in
clude a strong silver resolution ana will
give special attention to irrigation.
Prohibition will not be in it. Judge G.
]. Palmer, of Sioux Falls, will be
named as permanent chairman.
1t has been agreed that the
two congressman shall be voted
for together, and this is stated as vic
tory for the Gamble element, and assur-
Ing his nomination. There is tonight a
combination against Kirk Phillips, the
Black Hills candidate for treasurer,
which includes all the candidates for
treasurer east of the Missouri. They
have pooled their strength to down
Phillips. If they succeed it will help
the chances of Lucas, of the Black
Hills. for congress, whose chief weak
ness has been i'll the determination of
the Phillips Black HiAers to push Lucas
aside to give room for the Phillips boom
to grow. The convention will convene

Opposition Runs Away.

ton to Gov. Sheldon's denomination ap-

now claimed by his adherents that he

was also the additional statement that

qualiiedly lncorre ct the assertion that

WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-There were
just twenty-one senators present today

been signed by the speaker, the vice

absence of quorum was Immediately
pointed ont by MIR. Aldrich, Rep, and
only thirty-three senators answered to
the roll-call, eleven less than quorum.
A consultation was Immediately held
among the Democratic senators, Mr..
Blackburn Dem., Ky.) urging that the
absenteSS might as we'll be sent for to-
day as tomorrow. The decision of this
lmpromptu caucus seemed to be in the
same line, as Mr.. Harris (Dem. Tenn }
moved that the sergeant-at- arms be di-
rected to request the presence of absent
senators. which was agreed to. There
was lcng delay while the list of alb

opponents are throwing stones at him
made of lies, yet he does not tell what

with the
Most HideOus Offenses
In public, but he has not denied them.
How absurd for Col. Breckinridge to
charge that his opponents are lying
about him. Review the long list of
crimes, admitted and proved, which
uniting in his life make up his charac-
ter. Think, for moment, Of Col
Breckinrldge infamed with virtuous
indignation at the utterance of lie.
Review the life that he himself discloses,
picture this chosen orator enveloped fn
a cloak of sanetity as he appeared
through the long years before
august religious orders; see him
again in the role of morality
and virtue as he points the true curse to
the little inmates of the female semin-
ary and then follow him through nine
long years of secret infamy and vice.
Meet him as husband and father and
let him conduct you as he does in his
testimony from the home he should
have guarded to the brothel he SHOULD
have summed. See him land in the city
of his home and go with him through
the disgusting story of his testimony in
his first visit with his cyprian to the
brothel in this town. With what brazen
forehead did he leave this place and
seek the society of his home, and Of
what materialist fiber of his heart that,
fastening through his meal, he hied
himself again to his degrading meeting.
Hypocrisy herself must have turned
pale as she viewed the daring man at
her shrine. See him again as he intro
duces his mistress into the school at
which your little daughters are taught.
and to which he occupied at that time
the relation of trustee.
