WAR IN HAWAII.
TWELVE RoYALIsTs KILLED IN
A BATTLE.
Annexation Comnii sloner Carter Killed
Two Hundred Rebels Under Arrest
The Government Quickly ruts Down
an Uprising Led by the ex-Queen's
Adhereuts.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. i9.-The
steamer Alameda arrived from Auck-
land and Sydney, via Honolulu jan
uary IL, yesterday afternoon, and
brings news of revolution and
bloodshed in Honolulu. Charles L.
Carter, one of the annexation COM
missioners, was killed and other gov
ernment supporters were wounded.
There has been much fighting and at
least twelve natives have been killed.
Nearly 200 royalists are under arrest
Robert Wilcox is the leader of the
rebels. TieN fighting was still in
progress when the Alameda left Hon.
olulu on January IL, but the govern
ment forces had practically overcome
the revolut :onists.
The immediate cause of the out
break was the searching of the house
of native for firearms by govern
ment officials They were fired upon
by band of royalists in the vicinity
of the house, resulting in the death
of Annexation Commissioner Carter
and the wounding of several others.
After comforting with Captain MUIR
ray Captain Ziegler and company of
regulars was dispatched to the scene,
taking with them an Austrian field
piece. The ten-pound shells from
this gun scattered the natives in
every direction, but did not come to
hurt any of them.
The rebels were followed and at
tackled twice. Twelve were killed
and all the rest were captured, from
whom it was learned that the leaders
of the rebels were Sam Nowlin, for
merly colonel of the queens house
hold guards, and Robert Wilcox, who
was the leader of the revolution in
1887, the other prominent ones being
half whites, formerly in the service
of the queen. After the surrender
the natives came dropping into the
government camps in lunches, until
there was soon more prisoners than
troops. The prisoners claimed they
had 600 rifles, but only 200 men were
arrested.
From statements of the natives, it
was ascertained that the captain of
the little steamer Waimanalo was
responsible for the landing of the
arms with which the natives were
supplied. The entire crew was ar
rested. The mate confessed, and
when confronted with his testimony
the captain also acknowledged his
guilt. The government claims to
have evidence of the whole transac-
ton, from the original purchaser
until their final disposition
Up to p. m. Tuesday thirty-four
OF HonOlulu's prominent royalists,
not including natives, were under
arrest

Clover Farming.

The clover question is of vast
Importance now, for virgin fer
tility has gone from most of our
lands, and we must depend upon
artificial manure and rotation of crops
to keep things going on the farm, says
an exchange. There are thousands of
acres that formerly produced large
crops, but are now crying aloud for a
good baptism of clover 1t would be
well if the land could be turned over
to clover entirely for year or two.
and then this crop be kept growing in
rotation right along. But further than
this, we have lands that can not be
built up to clover alone. They have
been ''clovered" foryears past, and this
very clover farming has been killing
them. Not that the clover is bad for
the soil, but the exclusive use of clover
is gradually extracting from the
soil all the potash and phosphoric
acid. Consequently each success
slve crop takes from the soil these two
mineral elements until the land gets
so poor that no crops will grow on 1t,
and yet it is being literally sup
piled with clover. The old lands in
this condition need clover, and they
need applications of potash and phos-
phoric acid. Even clover will decline
to grow on soil that is entirely robbed
of these two elements. In the east es-
pecially do we find land all but robber
of all the potash and phosphoric acid,
and yet the owners continue to grow
clover and wonder at their poor sue
cess. But there are still countless
farms in the west where clover can get
all the mineral elements that thev
need, and clover farming there in it's
primitive stages is attended with good
results. But where the crop refuses
to grow look out for mineral elements.
They are lacking generally in the soil.

Felix Faure 40, NJ Henri Brisson

amidst intense excitement The

by their violent denunciations of the
republic and the government leaders,
but NJ Challemel Lacour, president
of the senate and presiding officer of
the joint assembly, kept them we'll in
hand, and the balloting was rapidly
rushed through
In politics NJ. Faure is a moderate
Republican and holds very near
ly the same views as NJ. Perier.
No doubt he will form cabinet
containing number of the same
men who were ifxthe last one. This
is not unusual in France. He is a
man of middle age, tall and hand
some. He is very amiable man, and
is much liked personally.

striking resemblance between the
prisoner supposed to be Bill Cook, the
Oklahoma outlaw, and Frank James,

A beverage for whselmen.

Next to being lost at sea there is moth
ing that brings on the pangs Of thirst
quicker than bicycle riding. The hot sun
aud the constant inhalation of dust quick
ly parches the throat and makes the biker
long for the next stop for refreshments.
The wise rider avoids ice water, well
knowing its danger. Alcoholic beverages
are likewise tabooed because of their heat
ing propensitics, and there is little salts
faction in wishy- washy stuff sold under
the broad classification of ''soft drinks"
a well. known wheelmsn, In speaking OF
this, said:
"What to drink is no easy problem TO
man on long, hot run. The only
drink l know really fit for bicycle rider
is Hires Rootbeer, carbonated. There
are but few places now at which 1t cam
not be had, and tell you. 1t braces one

bottom of your pedal workers. II is
cooling and refreshing, quickly lowering
your temperature and fully satisfying
your thirst. tell you there's nothing like
it, and I've sworn off all other drinks
when on the road" Hires Rootbeer,
carbonated, is made from the famous
Hires Rootbeer extract by the same for.
mula. without adulteration of any kind.
Besides being delicious 1t possesses many
medicinal qualities, making 1t as popular
with wheelmen and pedestrians as the

There is a somewhat widespread impress
sion that the use OF 20 much wire for tel.
ephone and other electrical purposes in
cities and towns largely increases the
danger Of lightning strokes. The notion
is based upon the concentration within
certain limits OF great quantity of con.
attracts the electricity and thereby in,
creases the danger from IL.
While il is true that the increase OF
conducting material increases the attrac.
ton, it is not true that 1t increases the
danger. AS matter Of fact 1t decreases
the danger, for the more surface electric
ity has over which to spread the more
rapidly and quietly 1t Is carried 10 the
earth. A house with metal roof Is not
often struck by lightning, for while the
metal may attract the electricity il also
gives it room to spread out and its force
is thus disspated.
This fact was demonstrated by Frank
lin with his kite long ago, and lightning
rods are put on buildings to give storm
clouds means Of discharging their cleo.
tricty into the earth. This discharge
takes place without the report that we
call thunder, for electricity makes nc
noise unless it meets some resisting med
ium. 1t is a well. known fact that there Ii
less danger from lightning in cities thar
in the country, and this is due to the
general use of iron, steel and othel
metals 10 city buildings. The buildings
are tall and would seem, therefore, to b.
specially attractive to the lightning. In
deed they are often struck but the meta

the earth The effect of telephone wires
upon atmospheric electricity has been
under official investigation by the Ger
man department OF telegraphs, and thu
statistics from 900 cities show that the
danger from lightning strokes is fouI
times rs great in towns that do not have
the telephone as in those which have it
The conclusion OF the whole matter
therefore, is that an abundance of wires
gives protection from lightning instead OF
increasing the danger.

DoyIcstown's crack rider, who was the

minutes because he was half grown boy

The only changes In the classification
OF cities by the State census will be In the
cases of Plainfield and Bridgeton, which
are transferred from the third to tho see
ond class, and will join Passaic and At
lantic City, which were promoted by the
census of 1890. For several years there
has been a demand for Redistribution
law, which should include, say cities Of
from 10000 to 100000 In tho second
class, and make a separate class for those
OF between 10000 and 10000. This is
being reviewed now, and indicates that n
move to secure new law may be made
next Winter.
Bayonne drops nom eighth to ninth
place In the list, and by an exceedingly
narrow shave escapes going to tenth
place, below New Brunswick. Elizabeth,
which gained but little In the ten years
from 1880 TO 1890, has madc jump in
the past Ave years. Bordentown, once a
considerable town, has steadily lost since
the removal Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
shops. From 1880 to 1890 there was a
decrease of 26 in her population, and dur
ing the past five years there has been a
decrease of AZ more. Lambeitville show
ed loss of Al between 1880 and 1890,
but apparently has caught her second
wind and gained nearly 800 in the past
five years. Bayonne's gain was less than
900, from 10, 098 to 1920, and this prac-
tical standstill is ascribed by the local pa
pers TO the free trade times that have
closed the factories there.
Ia 1890 the population OF the State was
/ ,444, 983 I; in 1880, 1881, ZIG. For this
year it has been estimated that the census
will show population exceeding 1,600,
900, the gain being mostly in the cities.
