JACKSONVILLE, Jan. li.-Anothcr rumor
is current as TO the method the Duval club
will pursue in preventing the governor
from interfering with the torbett-Mitchell
contest. Ii is conceded the means To be
employed by Governor Mitchell. should ho
decide 10 stop the contest, will be To order
the sheriff to inform the executive county
authorities that he will be unable TO cone
with the threatened disturbance and the
aid OF tho militia will be necessary. II Is
runorcd, however, that day or so before
the contest the Duval club will apply To
Judge Call of the circuit court for an in-
junction restraining the sheriff from in
terfcring in any way with the contest. II
the injunction is granted II will be in-
possible for the governor TO act, rs
by the laws Of Florida ho is not empow-
cred 10 order out the militia without
a call from the sheriff OF the county. The
Duval clubs argument will be that rs tho
county solicitor refused 10 introduce evil
dcncc against Corbett and Mitchell when
they were arrested for arranging the glove
contest. such contest i therefore not ille-
gal, and the Duyal club has large amount
of money invested which will be lost
should tho contest be prevented. IL Is be-
lieved the injunction will be granted on
these grounds, but there are other reasons
why the club is confident OF attaining such
an end. Several years ago when Judge
Call was county solicitor. a case similar to
the Corbett-Altchcll case was before the
court and he nolle pressed il on the ground
that there was no law against such an af.
fair. II is not known that his opinion has
since changed. The general opinion is
that there will be little trouble in securing
the injunction. The club is still confident
the contest will take place, and all the
work of the preparation Of the arena Ii
being pushed with all possible speed.

Kick to Governor Waite.
DENVER. Jan. H.-A committee of Santa
Ferailroad employees from La Junta. Colo,
have informed Governor Waite that the
engineers, conductors. brakemen, switch
men and trackmen of all grades on tho
western division Of the road have received
no salaries since last October, and many
Of the men and their families are on the
verge of starvation. The wages for
November and December. they say. have
been promised ut different times, but in
every instance the pay failed TO come.
The last date fixed by the management at
Topeka was Jan. 10. The day passed and
no pay came. The men have exhausted
their credit with local merchants and as
the railway company has stopped supply
ing coal TO its employees, many families
are suffering from cold as well as hunger.
Governor Waite laid the matter before
Judge Hallett to-day, and the judge de-
cided to present the matter by letter to
the receivers and to request them to take
immediate action. A communication
from Governor Waite will accompany the
letter of Judge Hallett.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 1i.-From state
ments made by the Examiners Honolulu
correspondent il would appear that repre-
sentatives of the United States govern
ment either in Honolulu or America. may
have to answer the charge of having
broken faith with President Dole. Re-
ferrlng TO Dole's reply TO Willis, the corre-
spondent says: dole occupied nearly
five days in formulating his document.
In the meantime the Corwin was in har-
Dor under instructions to return as soon
as possible and Willis was growing ex.
ceedingly anxious to have the answer.
The rumor reached him that IL was ready.
and am informed by one close to the adj
ministration that Willis sent SEMI
Official intimation that an early reply
would greatly favor him, whcreupon Dole
called upon the minister December IS
and frankly stated that his answer
would not be delivered until the arrival
of the vessel which the provisional
government could dispatch to the United
states simultaneously with the departure
of tho Corwin. After considering the
question in every light the minister agreed
that the Corwin might also carry the dis
patches Of the provisional government,
whereupon a special session of the cabinet
was summoned and the presidents reply
approved without changes and sent 10
Willis. who dispatched the Corwin at an
early hour Sunday morning, Dec. q. II
is clear no dispatches were delivered by
the Corwin TO the provisional govern.
ment's representatives in America.
The Examiner correspondent also has
this to say Of Liliuokalani's physical con-
| dition: 1.-THE sudden death of Queen
| Liliuokalani has hitherto been counted as
one of the possibilities in the Hawaiian
problem, but il is likely to occur at any
moment, as those close TO her have ad.
mitted. It is no secret that the
| queen has valyular trouble of the
heart. but il is not widely known
that severe and prolonged smo,hering
spells have lately como upon her with in
creasinH frequency. greatly 10 the discour-
agemen, of those in attendance upon her.
| The details of her illness are not an
nounced, and every precaution has been
taken TO avoid the publication of any facts
| concerning her health. But there was so
much alarm and fastening to and fro last
night that l was able to ascertain the
cause from one very close to her attend
ants. She had serious attack from which
she slowly recovered by the use Of digiialis
followed by brandy. Visitors arc prohib-
tied. and in her present predicament tho
utmost caution is used TO prevent any ex-
citemeni. Threats against her life have
probably given her more unrest than any
one cause, and these have greatly con-
duced TO her present trouble"

fabricatlons. There has been absolutely

The attitude of the New York banks, rs

prominent democratic senator said to-
day that Secretary Carlisle would not al
low the gold reserve TO fall below soO,-
OOO,0D0, and should the reserve be reduced
TO nearly that point before congress
acted, Carlisle would immediately issue
bonds. When this statement was shown
TO Senator Voorhees,. chairman of the
finance committee, he declined TO either
verify or deny il, only saying: THE sec
retary Of the treasury has the author
ity and the disposition TO pro-
tect tho credit of the government,
and have no doubt he will act promptly
and effectively il the emergency should
arise" Senator Voorhees, does not deny
the report that he is preparing q bill to
meet the emergency, but this statement
would seem to indicate that he does not
expect TO be called upon TO formulate
measure. With reference TO the opinion
that the bill for bond issue cannot orig
inate in the senate, il can be stated that
the lawyers of the senate generally are of
the opinion that it can originate there as
well as in the house. Senator Gray says
the house would probably make q row
over such action on the part of the senate
but in his opinion the issuance OF bonds
is not raising the revenue as provided for
in the constitution.

Rio DE JAsEIRo, Jan. H.--News has been
received in this city from the south of a
character most encouraging TO the Bra
lillian government and disheartening to
the insurgcnt admiral II was TO the effect
that the long expected and much needed
reinforccments from Santa Catharina arc
unlikely to give anything like prompt as
sistancc to their fellow insurgents now in
Rio harbor. II now looks as II tho revolu-
tionary leaders at Santa Catharina would
be unable to lend any aid TO Cana. The
serious illness of Mello, now on board the
Republica, has had apparently disastrous
effect upon the insurgent forces in
the southern part OF the republic.
In Rio Grand Do Sui, the in.
surGents have raised the siege of Bage
and have left the city in triumphant pos
session of the government garrison.
In number of other engagements the
revolutionists have suffered defeat and
many Mello men have been wounded or
killed. Unless Mello RECEIVERS and is able
by his presence to reanimate his men the
outlook for the insurgents is very dark in
deed. Discomfort is said to prevail 10 a
large extent in the ranks and desertions
are said to be numerous. Fever is also
thinning tho insurgent army. Unless
something is quickly done Melo will lose
fully one-half of his entire force in the
south. II is very probable that tins news
will lead TO greater activity than ever on
the part of Pexoto. and battle between
the troops and the insurgcnt squadron
and the forts, Of decisive character will
be fought within very short time. The
inhabitants &C Rio are heartily tired OF the
war. and the epidemic now raging here
makes the desire for peaceall the stronger
on the part OF citizens generally.

A peculiar solution of England's
problem in India may evolve before
many years, predicts the New York
Independent. There is growing
tendency among Indian princes to
marry European wives; and the re-
suit is likely to be that many Of the
States now governed by them will in
course of time pass into the hands of
Eurasian rulers. If it should bee ONE
the rage among the Raiahs and Ma
wabs to have European wives as it now
is to have European horse trainers,
etc, then the heads Of the great native
States will before long be of mixed
race, and such state of things would
put a new phase on the political dos
tiny Of the country.

Attention was so centered upon the
labor troubles that the close of the
San Francisco Midwinter Fair on the
Fourth of July passed almost unno-
ticed. Yet the event was worthy Of
comment. The Fair, despite the hard
times and the interminable industrial
difficulties, was remarkable success.
There were more than 1000, 900 paid
admissions, which is a most crafty.
ing showing considering that the Pa
cific coast contributed practically all
the attendants. The managers OF the
Exposition and the people of San
Francisco deserve the highest credit
for their pluck and enterprise in car
rying the Fair to successful conclu-
sion. They will find their reward in
the advertising which it will give
| them.
