ARRIVAL OF THE MONOWAl.
She Brings Some Advices from Samoa and
Honolulu.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-The steamship
Monowai has arrived with Samoan adj
vices dated June 60 and Honolulu news up
to June %. The Samoan correspondent
OF the Associated press reports that while
there has been little actual fighting the
situation is as critical as ever, with little
prospect OF a speedy settlement.
In Honolulu all is quiet. 1t had been
definitely decided when the Monowai
sailed to declare the new constitution on
the 4th OF July. There We're rumors that
the royalists were arming and getting
ready to attempt to overcome the govern
ment on that date but the authorities had
taken extra PRECAUTIONS against SURPRISE.

Indebtedness Of the Pacific Railways.

WASHINGTON, July 9,-The house COM
mittee on Pacific railways voted unani-
mously to report bill for settling the
Indebtedness of the Central and Union
Pacific to the government. The bill agreed
upon probably will not grant the fifty
years extension of time which is Il feature
Of the funding bill before the committee.
The plan is more likely to provide that the
sinking fund shall be used to lift the first

the incumbrance, so that the government

sundays Story.
Late Saturday evening Eugene V.
Dcbs sent word to Rock Island for
the men to hold out as in his mind
it was only n question of a few DAYS
until the strike was settled. Now
Ii must be understood that Debs was
addressing himself to the railroad
men and not the ball PLAYERS. but
through sympathy the boys struck
(ouD yesterday, nearly to man.
In the first Danny Sweeney went up
TO the plate with his war club
thrown over his shoulder, like n
Spring Valley striker. and all the
time he was whistling when Danny
Comes Marching Home" Emmerke
tied base up. instead of n railroad.
and handed it to Danny. and Just
like stock yards striker he stole, YES.
he stole second. Snyder. in his
anxiety to head him off. threw to
Crotty, and that young prince made
bum error and he came home, as
did Cantillon, who had been gifted
with first on Con Strouther's error.
Crotty was not himself yesterday.
for when Joe Katz slammed the next
one ut him be made 4 fungo play.
and Joe was as safe rs Pullman is at
his summer home in Massachusetts.
William Ieis waltzed up to the plate
singing, lone OF the Finest" but Of
course you couldn't hear it very
plain on account of that - well.
it something Putty's letting grow
on his upper lip. AS stated before.
Putty pivoted up to the rubber, and
once again did Emmerke tie first up
with red ribbons and gave it. this
time. to Putty. Bill Kreig walked
to the plate with tread like Il fed
eral soldier, and with an eve ike =
Rock Island road official. He bidcd
his time and when Emmerke sent
one Of his musk melons" over the
oyster. he came again with a crash
like Chicago policeman hitting
striker in the sky-piece. and the next
moment Joe Katz and William .Zice"
came running in home like raw re-
cruit in company of militia. Hill
otbJl u + tll I-IniupTke Ifleu 10 pierce
his Stats with one of those same
watermelons, but he might just a
well have tried to pierce 4 German
hullct-proof suit as Bclldune's roasts.
for he went down the line to first,
stole second and was left when Sare
flew out to first and Andrews struck
out. Letcher, for the visitors. went
out at first on :, hit to Kreig. Smith
got q base hit. Strouss dittoed and
Strouthers cabbage headed and the
numerous name and .'Jakey." The
fiddler, came home. That settled it,
Crotty and Devinev both you
kuowed." and the score was d, to >.
Well, Rock Island wasn't in ii after
that any mere than George Pullman
is with an honest Eock Island switch
man. They couldn't make one with
4 piece of chalk. Jacksonville made
one in the fourth and two in the sew
enth and it was all over then. The
score:
