Frenchmen are genuine Demo
Gratis and being impulsive rush
into any fray that touches
their emotions. Lafayette's
assistance to the colonies of
the United States was a per-
sonal enterprise, but it forged
an everlasting bond of friend
ship between the two coun-
tries. The first Frenchmen
who endeavored to establish
themselves on these islands
met with rebuff which is in
strange contrast to their set
tied and influential position of
today. Paris and France have
furnished more material to
historians than any other city
or country. One cemetery in
Paris contains the remains of
1900 victims of the reign of
terror. In Honolulu recently

The Australia brings us an
other invoice of the famous
Monarch bicycles, and those
who have ordered them will be
made happy. The wheel is
making great strides in popu-
larity in the States, and judg-
ing from the number sold here
it is taking a high rank in
favor among lovors of bicycles
on the islands. For a new
wheel to be placed in a market
alongside so many wheels of
popular make and of establish
ed merit, and become in so
short a time so well liked, it
surely must be a first class
machine. What other bicycle
has ever jumped into favor
like the Monarch ? We are
proud of the record and say
that we feel sure that before
January l, 1896, there will be
100 Monarch bicycles in use
on the Hawaiian Islands.
Many riders want a wheel
that will stand hard wear and
not break down by knocking
about the streets and rough
roads. We think the Mon
arch can stand as much of this
as any wheel built.
The long distance rider, Mr..
A. B. Barnes, now here on the
Rithet, rode from Toledo,
Ohio, to San Francisco, going,
through the toughest of ex-
riding through the
dry and desert region of the
Southern Pacific route, en-
countering sand storms and
the hot dry air that are most
trying on such a machine as a
bicycle. The wheel stood the
test. IT WAS A MONARCH. If
such a wheel can do that much
it is good enough for the rough
riding on these islands. We
expect Mr.. 7. j King, Jr., on
the Australia, who will take
charge of the bicycle depart
ment III our store and he will
be pleased to explain to you
all about the Monarch.

Long and Bitter Struggle for the Posses
sion of II RaiJrOad.
GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 2.-The long
and bitter war between the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas Railroad system and the III
ternational and, Great Northern Railroad
Company for the possession of the Calves
ton, Houston and Henderson Railroad be-
tween Houston and Galveston, furnishing
an outlet at tldewater on the gulf, has ter
minated in compromise after being be-
fore the State and Federal courts for about
three years.
The terms of the compromise, as agreed
upon between the owners of the respective
properties, provide that the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Company shall
transfer to the International and
Great Northern Company 1899 shares
of the capital stock of the Gal
weston, Houston and Henderson Railroad,
OF the par value of 500 per share, being
one-half of the total amount of the Gal
weston, Houston and Henderson Com
pany, less one share, the "Katy" retain
ing 1899 shares, and the two remaining
shares being placed with some party
agreed upon by both the contending roads
in order to secure the strict and impartial
carrying out of the terms of the agree
ment. In consideration for this transfer
OF stock the International and Great
Northern surrenders the 99-year lease
made in 1888, by which it secured exclu-
sive possession and control of the g. H.
and ii. property and franchise to be can
celed and abrogated.

EVENTFUL WEDDING TOUR
An American Citizen Separated
From His Bride on a Visit
to Hungary.
Compelled to Serve in the Army Be.
cause He Was a Native of
That Country.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 2. - Elmer
Keller, a naturaized citizen living at 719
East Sixth street, is about to bring to the
attention of the State Department an out
rage he was subjected to by the Hungarian
Government. He is well known IN the
Hungarian colony and demands $4,000
indemnity. Deep interest is taken in his
case.
Keller was married on September 2,
1894, and went on his wedding tour to
Hungary, his native land, which he had
left seven years ago. At Bnda-Pesth, on
March 16 of this year, he received sum-
mons from the Associate County Judge
to appear before the Military Commits
sioners for examination regarding his
fitness for the army. Being an American
citizen, he ignored the order. Receiving
second summons, he went before the
Judge and showed his naturalization
papers. The Judge said, "1f you are an
American citizen why did not you stay
there?''
Despite his protests and the lamenta-
tions of his wife, he was forced into the
army and assigned to the regular K. K.
U. Infantry, Sixty-ninth Regiment. He
is not robust, and the trials of soldiers
life told severely on him. His bride, from
whom he had been mercilessly torn, had
to live with relatives and seek menial en-
ployment, as the pay of a Hungarian
soldier is only 6 kreutzers day-about 2
cents.
The bride, after several months of cease
less endeavor, finally obtained an audi
ence with the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
She fell ON her knees and amid tears
begged for her husbands release. The
Minister did not act promptly and it was
six months after Keller was deprived of
his freedom before he was discharged. He
determined to lose no time getting out of
his native land, to which he had taken a
strong dislike. The American Minister,
however, it is claimed, delayed returning
his naturalization papers, which put him
to further delay.
Failing in health and ruined financially
he was in a sorry plight. He borrowed
money TO come back to the United States,
but his wife still remains behind. He says
that any of his countrymen who have
made the United States their adopted
home are liable to be similarly treated.

BY A CONFESSION
Instead of Sentencing LANCER
man the Recorder Made
a Revelation.
Barbara Aub, Who Preferred the
Charge, Admitted That She
Committed Perjury.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-There was a great
sensation in Part of the Court of General
Sessions this morning when Recorder
Golf called Walter S. Langerman to the
bar for sentence. Langerman was con-
victed last Tuesday on charge of GRIM
inally assaulting Barbara Aub.
When Langerman was called to the bar
the Recorder. instead of sentencing him
to fifteen years as almost every one ex-
pected, startled the throng of spectators
by saying: Barbara Aub has admitted
to me in an affidavit that Langerman is
innocent of the charge upon which he was
convicted. She also admits that her testi-
mony at the trial against this man was
entirely false. Langerman is therefore
discharged upon the charge upon his own
recognizance. He stands committed, how.
ever, to the House of Detention as a wit
ness in probable proceedings against Bar
bara Aub for perjury"
Langerman sobbed aloud as the Recorder
spoke. Barbara Aub was brought into
court little later. The Recorder COM
mitted her to the city prison to await the
action of the Grand Jury. He said to her:
"You have done more harm to the law
than you did to Langerman.''

An Accident Caused a Failure
to Establish a New
Worlds Record.
WILL YET BEAT THE ENGLISH.
During Portions of the Rapid Journey
the Train Encountered Snow
storms.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Dec. 2.-The Empire
State express made a phenomenal run
from New York to this city to-day, and
but for a trifing accident near the end of
the Journey would have established new
worlds record for regular train. The
iron scoop which takes water from the
track tanks struck an obstacle at Churchill
fifty miles from here, and became dis
placed, so that stop had to be made and
the SCOOP removed. Twenty-Five minutes
were lost in this way. The train arrived
here at sos P. NJ, twenty-three minutes
behind schedule time.
The New York Central Railroad Com
pany decided to lop off twenty-five min
utes from the running time OF the Empire
State express between New York and
Buffalo in order to maintain their claim
fof operating the fastest regular train in
the world.
Recent reductions in the schedule times
of trains between London and Edinburgh
have given England the claim of having
the fastest train In the world. On the east
coast route from Kingscross to Edinburgh
the run of 1927 miles is made in 450 min
utes, an average speed of 52.46 miles an
hour. The New Y York Central people there
fore decided to cut down their running
time and make the 444 miles between New
York and Buffalo at the rate of 5314 miles
an hour and place America ahead for rapid
trains.
The new schedule was made by taking
five minutes off the time from New York
to Albany, ten minutes off from Albany to
to Buffalo.
The first train to run on the new sched-
ule left the Grand Central depot at 8 80 A.
NJ. to-day. 1t consisted of the regular EN-
pire State express train, made up of a buf-
fet-car, drawing-room, two day coaches
and engine $40. The special car Mariquita,
an additional weight of 106 600 pounds,
was attached to the rear of the train. In
the special car were General Passenger
Agent George III. Daniels, J. c. Yaeger,
general superintendent of the Wagner
Palace Car Company, and other railway
officials and newspaper men. Conductor
B. H. Dayton was in charge of the train.
Engineer Archie Buchanan was at the
throttle and A. Elliot was fireman.
MThe weather was unpropitious, the rain
making the rails wet ana slippery, and the
trip was finished in the teeth of snow
storm.
A couple of minutes was lost getting out
of New York. After passing Spuyten
Duyvil the first speeding was done. The
first hundred miles were made in 11015
minutes, an average of 54.29 miles per
hour. The train rolled into Albany, where
the first stop was made, at IL :06 A. NJ, four
minutes ahead of time.
The 14S miles from New York were made
in 156 minutes. There was five-m1nute
stop at Albany and engine 999 took the
place of engine $40.
The train arrived in Syracuse 2:40 min
utes ahead of schedule time. A stop of
five minutes was made, engine 904 taking
the place of 999, and the train left the Salt
City on time. Rochester was reached at
3 :25 P. NJ. and the train left there three
minutes late in snowstorm. Buffalo was
reached at sos, just twenty-three minutes
behind schedule time,

teams and polo ponies and rigs of all sorts,
carts, drags, coaches, carriages, tandem
carts, all ''quite fit" and things that would
delight an Englishman's eye.
The first social affair i'll connection with
the show was the stag dinner given last
evening by President Henry J. Crocker at
his residence at the corner of Washington
and Laguna. 1t was in the nature OF an
official dinner in honor OF the opening OF
the show, and those present were the
judges from New York, the editor OF Rider
and Driver and directors of the Horse
Show Association. The guests were as
follows:
John Parrott, w. S. Hobart, W. OBJ.

Urgent Necessity for Concen'
trated Effort on the Part of
Patriots in America.
GENERAL CAMPOs Is DICTATOR.
Practically Given Absolute Control,
He Is Offering Protection
to Planters.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 2.-The Cubans'
Patriotic League to-day received letter
from G. +. Maceo in regard to the progress
of the war In the eastern part of Cuba. The
insurgent leader states that, in spite of all
reports from Spanish authorities, the in
surgents have not received the severe set
back which has been given out. The
whole of the eastern portion of the island,
with the exception OF Santiago de Cuba,
still remains in their hands and they have
lost no ground in the west, as the territory
vacated by the advance of the regulars
was that which had been but merely occu-
pied by advance detachments of the army,
and that the mountainous country as yet
proved too hard a nut for even General
Campos' skill to overcome.
General Maceo, however, gives the most
urgent necessity for concerted effort on
the part of the patriots in the United
States in collecting money and ammuni-
tons of war, as he realizes fully that the
strict attention being paid to the coast by
the Spanish cruisers will eventually stop
all re-enforcements being landed. The in
surgent supply of both arms and ammuni-
ton is sufficient for present needs, but will
not be adequate for the struggle yet to
come. He also states that the war is by
no means ended. While his conviction of
the ultimate success OF the patriots re-
mains unchanged he foresees that the
severest fighting of the war is yet to come.
The Transcript tonight publishes a
special from Havana stating that General
Campos is now personally dictator of af-
fairs at the capital. His recent dispatches
to the home Government have constantly
brought attention to the manner in which
his hands were being tied by the civil au-
thorities, and the result has been that he
has been given practically absolute con-
troll, governing everything which in any
way will solve the quick ending of the
struggle.
As a means of encouraging the planters
to continue their sugar-raising he has
offered to give military guard to any plan
tation making application and has also
offered other strong inducements. In this
manner he has already gained consider
able support from the plantation owners,
but mostly from those of Spaniards, the
Americans holding aloof and secretly ii
not openly favoring the insurgents.

VEGA CABRAL' IS BRUTALITY
After Being Tortured at the Stake
Evariste Was Sent to
Prison.
Residents of French Guiana May Soon
Avenge Themselves Upon the
Uncrowned King.
Especial Correspondence of The United Press

Especial Correspondence of The United Press.l
GEORGETOWN, DEMERARA, B. G., Nov.
19.-Latest advices from the contested ter
ritorv between Brazil and French Guiana
report that Vega Cabral, the uncrowned
king and autocratic ruler OF Counani, Car
sevenne and Mapa, continues his open hos
tility toward all French subjects and has
now a number of them in captivity. 1t is
now announced that Evariste, who piloted
the French gunboat Bengoli to Amapa,
and who, it was reported, has been burned
at the stake at the order of Cabral, did not
die. 1t appears that Cabral had given the
order for the man to be burned and he was
prepared for execution. He was tied to
stake, the wood about him was lighted and
be became unconscious from his torture,
which gave rise to the statement that lie
had perished. 1t appears, however, that
when he lost consciousness Cabral ordered
the fire quenehed and that efforts be made
to restore Evariste. Their efforts were
finally successful and Eyariste was COM
mitted to prison.
The situation is considered most critical,
and the official as well as public opinion is
now that at all points of the contested
property the lives of the French subjects
will be seriously imperiled if the Govern
ment does not take resolute military steps
to occupy the whole of these regions or to
at least break the power of Cabral.
Should the National Government at
Paris delay much longer to take the neces-
sary steps in this matter, the people of
Cayenne will themselves undertake the
task of taking vengeance upon Cabral and
an expedition-the cost of which will be
betrayed by public subscriptions and prob
ably augmented by colonial funds-will
be dispatched to Mapa to avenge the
death of those who have been sacrificed by
Cabral, to liberate, if possible, those
French subjects now held as prisoners by
Cabral, and to assert the rights of the
Guianese to inhablt on equal terms, at
tested territnrv

MORGAN MURDER TRIAL,
Criminal Court Room at Omaha
Crowded With Curious
Spectators.
Photographs Depicting the Horrible
Death of Ida GaSkell Shown
to the Jury.

OMAHA. NEBR., Dec. 2.-The Criminal
Court room to-day presented the appear
ance of the days OF the Libbie Beech!er
trial. The crowd present this morning
filled the room completely. The fact that
the details of the horrible assault and MUIR
der committed upon Ida Gaskill were ex-
pected was sufficient to cause an influx of
spectators.
Morgan, the accused murderer, was led
into the room before the crowd had assem-
bIed and again assumed the attitude which
has become characteristic OF him, that of
leaning his left arm lightly on the table AT
his side and bending his slightly scowling
eyes on the jury.
The photographs made exhibits in the
evidence show Ida Gaskill as she lay on
the slab in the Morgue, with her hair hang
ing over the edge of the slab. The damp
OF death had not Strengthened out the
curls and waves. Her face was exposed i'll
three positions, one showing the left side
of the neck, with the dark prints of four
tinger-nails plainly visible. a spot in the
center of the forehead denoted that blow
must have been struck.
The features were somewhat swollen
and darkened with the blueness of stran-
gulation, the tongue slightly protrudlng,
the mouth open, gasping. The shroud
which was used to cover the body had
been carelessly drawn back from the left
shoulder and hung in graceful drapery
over the right breast, exposing the left
arm, which was large and perfect in its
contour The arm was bent at the elbow,
the photograph delineating the graceful
curves and ndentations made by its full
ness and plumpness showing very plainly.
The forearm was extended across her
breast above the drapery, the hand partly
closed, one finger being encircled by a
small plain ring. The pictures were
handed to the jury for examination, ana
as each one glanced at the representation
OF a cruel death his face became con-
tracted with horror and the pictures were
quickly passed along.
