ARRIVED SAFE.

A letter has been received by a friend
in this city from Hugh J. Lee, one Of the
three local newspaper men who are on a
trip to Riverside, Cal. They arrived safely
on Sunday. The trip from this city was
much enjoyed, stops being made at Mon
treai, Toronto, Detroit, Kansas City and
Chicago, 10 hours being spent in the lat.
ter city visiting the various places of In
terest. After leaving Chicago the next
stopping place was Flagstaff, Arizona,
where three days were spent. They visi.
ted the Grand Canon, which 10 distance
of SO miles from Flagstaff, the trip being
made by stage coach and taking IA hours.
A whole day was spent exploring the
mysteries Of the Canon, which Is miles
deep and beautiful sight. Upon leaving
Flagstaff their journey was uninterrupted
until the arrival at their destination.
IL In expected that Hugh will proudly
wear gold medal on his return as a dis
tinction for bravery, no having saved a
man from being crushed to death by
train Of cars on the trip.

Modern steamship Repairing.

The repairing Of the steamship La
Flandre's broken shaft Mt sea Is IN impor-
tant operation. Following on the similar
repair effected on board ono of the British
passenger liners some time ago, it's real
significance is obscurcd by its lack In nov
city. The two incidents, taken In conncc-
tion with the repair effected on the French
La Gascognc, show that tho latest type Of
steamship and tho latest type Of marine
engineer depart widely from those on
which tho world had learned to form It's
stock of notions rs to ocean steaming.-

Franks With Tender Hearts.

The recent meeting OF both branches OF
the city government, among other things,
has q tendency to substantiate certain
theories which have beer formulated and
expressed In previous issue OF the rRIB"
UNE.
Various matters bearing more or less
upon the future welfare OF the munici-
pality were considered and acted upon by
the city fathers. But what seems to us TO
be rather peculiar feature of the case is
that II IL high time that some action was
taken relative to a settlement OF the sala-
ries. No reference was made to the subject
and the matter is apparently no nearer an
amicaple adjustment, or In fact any Other
kind of an adjustment, than 1t was two
weeks ago when the TRIBUNE ventured
the opinion that the appointmenr OF a
conference committee would not be apt
TO change the moral aspect OF che situa-
tion In any manner.
IL has been rumored to considerable
extent that the joint conference commit
tee had succeeded in compromising the
matter by agreeing to making the salary
of the tax assessor s175 per annum, or
splitting the difference between the
amounts contended for by the respective
branches of tho City Council. There is
but little probability of this, however, as
the Joint committee would, or at least
should, have reported at the last meeting
had any thing definite been acco mplished
toward settlement OF the matter.
Financiers Met.
The Joint finance committee OF the City
Council met at the City Hall last evening
for the purpose OF considering the neces-
sary appropriat ions for the operation
and maintenance Of the several city de-

ton shall be uniform throughout
the state, and that the gross earn
ings tax on railroads shall not be
repealed unless by vote of the peo-
pie. To these this amendment will
be superior and controlling if the bill
is passed and the amendment rati-
fed.
AS, in their order, the amendment
to tax lands of railroads will be
Hrst submitted, this one, following
tt, will be the latest expression of
The will of the people, and if there
is any conflict between them, the
latest declaration controls. This is
the uniform Interpretation to stat
utes, and would undoubtedly apply
here. If there can be found in this
provision any conflict with the prin-
ciple of taxing the gross earnings of
railroads, the ratification of it
by the people must be taken as the
assent provided to the repeal Of the
gross earnings law. We are not
saying that this would be the case
in either of these matters, but the
confusion of statement, the lack of
lucidity, in a measure drawn by
the best lawyers in the state" casts
just suspicion on the purpose that
may be behind it, and the POSSIBLE
tiles Of claims and interpretations
lurking in it.
If the purpose is to provide con-
stitutional ratification of a tax on
sleeping car and the other COM
panies named, if the present powers
of the legislature are insufficient, it
can be attained by striking out from
this bill the provisions as to "au
other companies" down to the word
tax" in line 16. inserting before it
the words ga gross earnings tax of
not less than per cent" and strik-
ing out all of the section following.

there should be demanded a very ex-
plicit explanation of it.

full and will take full charge of the
business in June next. The govern
ment is now preparing a, comprehens-

order to facilitate the immigration of
desirable settlers, and especially Amer

of land. These were made at time
when land was without value Now.

EX-GOVERNOR AT THE HEAD

o. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April 90
The Indiana department, G. A R., to-
day received from Atlanta, Ca, a
copy of the statement adopted at the
recent meeting Of the department en-
campment G. A. r., of Georgia, in
reference to the immigration of ex-
soldiers to that state from the North.
The statement is in part as follows:
Whereas, it has come to our knowl-
edge that a large number of old SOL
diers contemplate coming with their
families to Georgia for the purpose
of establishing permanent homes;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That while we emphasize
in the most hearty and conscientious
manner the facts as stated in this
first proposition we feel it our duty to
give equal emphasis to the fact that
great care should be exercised as to
the locality selected for such settle
ment. Old soldiers cannot afford to
make a mistake. We therefore call
attention to the following facts:
There are large tracts of lands To-
Gated in various counties, to which
FRAUDULENT GRANTS;
so great has been the traffic in these
fraudulent titles and so widespread
have been the efforts to unload them
upon innocent and unadvised pur-
chasers that the Hon. Philip Cook,
secretary of state, as recently as
March, 1895, felt it his duty to issue
a circular calling special attention to
these frauds in order, as he says, to
protect innocent people from being
deceived thereby. This circular we
urge our friends to read carefullyAto
study-and in order that opportunity
may be given to all who desire to
know the facts we incorporate here
in, and make part of these resolu-
tons, a copy of this circular fur
;nished by the state authorities.
/. The resolution emphasizes atten-
ton to the possible dangers COM
trades may incur in becoming free
holders of the state of Georgia. and
Iassures the veterans that there is de-
1sirable land in Georgia, sufficient in
quantity to furnish great army of
old soldiers with good farms, the
titles Of which are perfect. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald said that this circular was the
work of an agent through whom the
+ sale was not made. He said the pur-
chase was subject to good and suffi-
/ cient title which is yet subject to the

arrived recently for the purpose of

is serving a sentence of So years. His
plan was to have the government

After comforting with Attorney Gen

Slagle was the direct cause of Sec
rotary Gresham's edict which was to
the effect that the Hawaiian govern
ment must not execute any Ameri-
can citizen without first notifying
and laying all facts before the state
department. Slagle accomplished
this in this way: He called TO his
aid the services of Quay, Cameron
and MCGEE, who sought the senate
committee of foreign relations, who
in return saw Gresham, with the re-
suit set forth.

the natives have anything to do with
the business. 1t may be a part of the
flibuster scheme to land arms in adj
vance and then surely bring in men to
start the racket, others to come in on |

WAR TALK IN HAWAII.
RUMORS OF ANOTHER OUTBREAK
THREATENED.
THURSTOWsACTS ENDORSED
Minister Hatch UpI,olds His SRI
observation-disclosures on the
Island

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.-The
steamer Australia arrived this morn
ing, bringing the following advices
to the Associated Press, under date
OF April 13: Minister Thurston re-
turned from Washington this morn
ing. Soon after his arrival he was
close'ted with Minister Hatch. The
latter official, in an interview with
the Associated Press correspondent,
stated that Thurston had not been re-
called. AS far as he knew, the
American minister had not received
any notification of recall, or at least
he had not intimated to the govern
ment that he has, up to the time
for the departure of the steamer.
Minister Hatch defends Thurston's
course while at Washington, and is
confident that he was not guilty of
any breach of diplomatic propriety.
He stated that Minister Thurston
had not been entrusted with any
communications in regard to a trial
of the rebels, so it is quite impossible
for him to make public any news in
advance of Gresham's adv1ces from
mere. In the matter of the cable en-
terprise, in which it is alleged that
Thurston took part, this government
defends his course also, and does not
see how any improperly could exist.
In closing, Mr.. Hatch said: eff
Tnurston has stated any facts in re-
gard to local affairs he had a perfect
right to do So
Thurston may not return to Wash
ington, as it is understood he would
prefer to remain here. In govern
ment circles it IS stated that he is
here to consult with the government
ON various matters. If he decides TO
quit his post at Washington, the posi-
ton will probably be offered to N. NJ
Armstrong. The councils held
meeting on the 18th inst, when it
was announced that the government
had decided to pardon V. Ashford
The executive was unanimously in
favor of granting Mr.. Ashford's par
don, on condition that he leave the
country, never to return. The coun-
ellis sanctioned his conditional par
don. Ashford has been suffering
from an affection of the spine, which
unless me went to different CHI
mate for treatment, must sooner or
later result fatally. During his con-
finement, he has not been treated as
a prisoner, except that he was kept
under surveillance. Every attention
has been paid him 50 far as food and
medical attendance was concerned. If
the political situation justified it, the
government would gladly Danish
Major Seward and others, but native
Hawaiians are disposed to confuse
.leniency with fear, and any further
modification Of the sentences might, !
at the present time. create an uneasy
feeling.

fined in the executive building in tht

tented.

LANDS FOR OLD VETS.
Ex-Gov. Northen Successful in His
Negotiations.


Negotiations.
BALTIMORE, April 20.-EX-Gov. j.
w. Northen, who is at the head of thu
Georgia bureau of immigration, tele-
graphs the Manufacturers Record, OF
this city, that he has secured site
for settlement of 4,000 veterans of
the late war, and their families, in
South Georgia. This colony has been
organized by P. H. Fitzgerald and 9TH
ers, of Indianapolis, and will comprise
old soldiers from various sections. The
plan includes the formation of a stock
company, in which each member has
share of $40 or more. 1T is called the
Soldiers Colony club, and embraces
farmers, mechanics and men in the
various Industries. A large proportion
of the people will locate on small farms
in the territory selected while the bal
ance will found a new city. The col
onists have had a committee examining
points for a location in Georgia, Ala
bama and other Southern states. Elk
Gov. Northen has been negotiating for
the organization for several months,
but until now no decision has been
reached. The lands are purchased on
easy terms and are well adapted for
agriculture and fruit growing. About
10O, coo acres will be required at once
an area of 160 square miles.

It is not often that the music lovers
of st. Paul are afforded such a treat
as they will enjoy in the performances
of the Chicago orchestra Of siXty-two
artists in the two great muscal festi-
walls to be given at the Peoples
church, Wednesday and Thursday
nights, May 1 and May 2, under the
personal direction of that greatest of
leaders, Theodore Thomas. Among
those who will assist Mr.. Thomas and
his artists are Miss Fanchon Thonnp-
son, the young contralto, who has heen
SO warmly received by the press and
the musical critics wherever she has
appeared during the past season, and
also Bruno Steindel. the violoncelIo
virtuoso, who is said to be a master
performer. Miss Thompson and Mr..
Steindel will appear in both pro-
grammeS.
AS for the great orchestra itself.
there is little to be said, other than
what the musical critics have said
for the past decade or more, that the
orchestra under the admirable leader
ship of Theodore Thomas is the ablest
aggregation of musical artists in
America. They never fail to delight
their audiences with their magic
music, and they have never been ex-
celled in perfection of technique.
There have been many, very many
imitators of Thomas great orchestra,
but none to attain it's high standard.
Since Theodore Thomas first waved
his baton years and years ago, and so
delighted New York audiences with
his skill, he has gradually fastened
himself upon the musical heart of the
country so as never to be replaced by
another idol.
The subscribers ticket sale will be.
gin tomorrow morning at Howard,

general sale will open Thursday morn

1t pictures the conditions under which
certain classes of people live in the

this play, which is a realistic melodrac
