Proposition.

Proposition.
San Francisco, Oct 22.-Adviccs by
the steamer Australia from Honolulu
say on the last steamer from Victoria n
man named Sanford b. Fleming ar-
rived In Honolulu. and since that time
he has been In close communication
with the government. 1t has recently
become known that he Is here In the
Interest Of the English government for
the purpose OF seeing whit concessions
can be obtained from Hawaii In the
event Of a cable touching here. Flem-
Ing made a proposition to the govera-
ment to ccde Neckar island to Great
Britain. but this the government does
not wish TO do. Fleming has also asked
for the exclusive right to land u cable
in Hawaii and this also the govern
ment objects TO.
The matter came up In secret session
OF the councils ut their last meeting
and although what was decided has
not been divulgcd, enough has been
learned TO show that Fleming will not
get all he asks for. Minister OF FL
nance Damon Ii said TO have wanted
TO grant everything Fleming asked for,
but In this he was opposed by Minister
OF Foreign Affairs Hatch, who claims
the cable would have TO come here
sooner or later anyway and 1t made no
difference whether the government
gave any money or privilege TO the
English company or not. He proposed
submitting the whole matter TO tn"
Uniscu States. aud II ID supposed this
was the decision arrived at. This az,

Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa. Oct. 20.-The discre-
tonary pool system Is on the rocks In
Pittsburg. These concerns have been
springing up almost daily In this city
and 1t Is estimated that they now hold
between S3,0OO,000 and $4,000,0O0, rep
resenting 10000 Investors. Their clients
are workingmen, domestlcs, Washer
women and some farmers who were
dazzletl by the prospects Of securing
anywhere from 20 TO 100 per cent u
month on their Investments. Many men
have mortgagcd their homes and
placed the money In the pools. 1t Is
common talk that the trustees OF one
or two estates have also risked the
money In their charge In these con-
Germs.
For several days past the local news
papers have been showing the impos-
sibillty of these pools lasting any
length Of time, and alleging irrespon-
sibillty Of the managers. This morn
Ing these publications had their effect
and there was n panlc-stricken rush OF
Its Investors upon discretionary pool
known as 1.-THE Pittsburg Stock Elk
change" As soon as the rush began
the managers announced they were
the victims Of conspiracy Of the
banks and fell bnck upon a clause in
their agreement by which they can
require several days notice Of with
lrawal.
A short time later a run began on
''The Pittsburg Syndicate" Investors
were paid until noon. when the mana.
gers announced the corccrn would only
pay during banking hours and would
resume ut o n. m. Monday.
The panic Is spreading and It Ii an
ticlpated that within the next three
days almost every discretionary pool In
the city will be wiped out.
