DURING the past fourteen days
there have been two isolated or
stray cases of cholera here. The
epidemic, such as it was, ended
fully three weeks ago. Why, then,
is it deemed necessary to continue
the tabu on trade and travel? Re-
assuring and encouraging as advices
sent abroad may be, the one fact
that Honolulu still marks herself as
in the throes of the plague vista
ton, remains as an official position
to offset all other utterances.

the presentation of his name; that if he
had been called upon to select a candi-
date he could have made no better choice
1t will be remembered that when the name
of w. H. Hornblower was sent in, Mr.
Hill remarked that Rufus Peckham should
have been nominated. The nominee S

way. Senator Hill being able to enlighten

cHARLEsTON's NOT CONTEST.
The Fight Mt the Polls TO he ExcitIn,
and Bitter.

Charleston, S. c.. Dec. 9-The municipal
campaign closed tonight, and the election
for mayor and a full board of aldermen
will be held tomorrow. The contest is be
tween J. Adger Smyth at the head Of the
mary, and W. T.. Huger, at the head of
what is called citizens ticket. Mr.. Huger
received his nomination from the A.. l..
A. and his strength lies mainly in that or
ganization, though he also has the support
OF the remnant of the old city reform
party OF Charleston.
Each side is tonight confident of VIC
tory, and the chances are that The contest
will be close and exciting.
Some people fear that there will be Sc
rious trouble at the polls between the fac
tions. Mayor Ficken has appointed one
hundred special policemen selected equally
from the better classes of both parties.
With the A. Il. A. active in the campaign
the struggle has been a religious one and
consequently Venomously bitter one The
feeling has run so high that II will be hard
TO avoid some trouble. The Huger people
government gave them all three of the
commissioners of elections and notwith-
standing the fact that they are clearly in
revolt against and outside of the demo-
cratic party Gov. Evans refused TO ask
them to resign or to give the regular dem
ocracy representation. The commissioners
nave given their side majority of the
managers in II out of the "a precincts The
supervisor of registration is a Huger man
and il has been charged that he has COM
mitted gross irregularities i'm the manage
ment of his office. 1t is said that hundreds
of tickets have been issued to the negroes
and the democratic party is openly charg-
ing all kinds of registration frauds. II
seems to be certain that the negro will
hold the balance of power in the election.

RICHMOND SHAFT TO DAVIS.
The Directors of the Monument As
ISOLATION in Session,

Richmond, Va, Dec ga meeting Of
the board of directors of the jefferson
Davis Monumental Association, and a
number of other gentlemen called into
consultation with them, was held tonight
to discuss ways and means of raising the
monument fund
President J. Taylor EiIyson explained
the object of the meeting, and, after L
full comparison of views. it was recon-
mended that as a means of securing sub
scriptions to the monument fund, a Sketch
of the proposed monument should lie
printed, and that the association should
select an artist to make design fer
this purpose.
The sentiment of the conference was
against having an equestrian statue and
asking competitive designs, the general
opinion being that IT would be better
to select an artist, and let him work out
his design in consultation with the board
of directors.
1t was further recommended that a
committee be appointed by the chair to
work out several suggestions that were
made toward raising a large subscription
from the people of this city. The pfesi-
dent appointed ]. b. Purcell, p. H. Mayo,

TWO SPEECHES HELD BACK.
Livingston and Barrctt Called on by
Their CpIIeREuer.

Washington. Dec. 9.-When the House
convened to-day the galleries were crowd
Ell with spectators in anticipation OF a
lively debate on the Venezuela question
II was expected that Representative Liv-
ins;on of Georgia would bring forward
his resolution calling for all the CORE
spondencc in the case. Notwithstanding
the absence Of the President from the
capital Ii was also stated on the repub-
hcan side that Representative Barrett one

would arraign the "un-American policy
or Ambassador Bayard, and indirectly at
tack the President for absenting himself
from Washington at this period.
MT. Barretts desk was piled up with
books and papers and he was prepa 81 to
make his congressional debut an epoch
IA the history of the present session. The
~ RIIouSe met ana ADJOURNED and neither
MI. Livingston nor Mr.. Barrett made an
EFFORT to carry out their respective pro-
grammes as announced.
Inquiry was made of Mr.. Livingston as
10 why he abandoned his original inter-
uon ana he frankly stated that several
OF MS democratic friends advised him that
IL would be discourteOus and also injudi-
clous Tor MIN to lead the assault upon the
administrations foreign policy in the alb
sence of the President He added that
ne mas not abandoned the idea OF calling
Ior tne correspondence between the Uni
ted states and Great Britain in the
Venezuela case, but he has simply sus-
pended action for few days in defer
enee 10 the wishes of his party.
On the other side of the House similar
influences were cxerted to call Mr.. Bar
rett on, for IL was observed that one by
one the books of reference disappeared
from his desk. His apparent anxiety sub
sided and the spectators saw the House
ADJOURN without the sensation and dis
cnssion SO freely advertised by Mr.. Bar
fett and his friends. II was said by a
prominent republican that IL was not
deemed advisable to permit Mr.. Barrett
10 enter upon such an important mis-
sion stngle-handed and alone; besides. IL
was not thought TO be an appropriate time

ROSY AND PLUMP.
st. Vitus' Dance Checked-A Loving
Daughter Saved.


(F'rora the Kansas city, No., JourndL)
The following possesses an interest to the
Journal and its readers, because the case
is of great value from a medical point OF
view, and further because it is sworn to and
its truth absolutely proven. The case de-
Ecribed is that of the daughter of L. L.
Barbor of Edgerton, Kan, who being duly
sworn on oath deposos and says:
During the spring of the current year,
1898, my daughter Berthe, aged Is years, be-
came afflicted with nervous disease which
grew upon her to such an extent that it Sc
riously interfered with her studies, and
aroused the gravest fears that it would de-
velop into St. Vitus' dance. My daughter
became so nervous that she would drop her
knife and fork while eating, and would at
times be seized with nervous twitchings
which excited the alarm of myself and wife.
About this time my wife read in news
paper of wonderful cure of the same disease
effected by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. So strongly was impressed with
the facts set forth in the testimonial that
wrote to ascertain the authenticity of the
case. Receiving reply which completely
satisfied me, sent for 9 box of the pills.
From the very first dose marked im-
provement in nv daualplGrs condition was
noticed. She had become thin and Excess
siyely pale. as is comIA0n TO sufferers from
nervous diseases, and her weight had de-
creased to an alarming extent. After a
careful and thorough trial of the pills, she
not only began to grow less nervous butalso
began to gain flesh.
1t is needless to say that was both sur
prised and delighted with the wonderful
change brought about by the first box of the
pills. She is new girl, and all the symp-
toms of her disease have disappeared. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have certainly wrought
a wonderful and complete cure, and can
say nothing too good in their favor. But
now she is away on a visit, something she
would not have thought of being able to do
three months ago. From being shrinking,
morbid and timid she has become strong,
healthy girl with 20 appearance of ever
having been afflicted with any nervous trou-
bles The pills have done wonders, aud
take great pleasure in recommending them
10 al who are afflicted with a similar
disease. (Siened) l.. l.. BARBoR.

COMMITTEES OF THE SENATE.
The Two Parties sIatIng Men for the
Nncnneics.

Washington. Dec. 9.-Both the republ-
can and democratic committees appoint
ed for the purpose of filing the vacancies
in the Senate committees met this after
noon at the capitol.
The republicans conducted their con
ference with the utmost secrecy No con
clusion of any kind was reached, and
meetings Will be held from day to day
until the committee arrangements are
ready to be submitted to the caucus. The
large addition to the republican mem
bership of the Senate makes the task
of suitably and satisfactorily adjusting
the assignments one not easily performed.
Those senator's like Messrs. Sherman,
Morrill,, Allison. Mitchell and Aldrich, who
have been chairmen Of particular COM
mittees for years, will retain their places.
and where a senator is the ranking mem
Der of two or more committees he will
be permitted, In accordance with the
usage of the Senate to select the chair
manship from his list that he prefers.
The difficulty arises in locating the new
men and rearranging those committees,
the membership of which has been almost
entirely obliterated.
Every republican senator will receive
Craftsmanship. There are 60 standing
and select committees. OF these fifteen
are given TO the minority, leaving forty
five for the republicans. AS there are
but forty-two republicans in the senate
they can thus be easily accommodated,
to say nothing of per cent. Of three
cnalrmanshlpS 10 the popuistS II need be.
The silver men will, doubtless, domi-
nate the finance committee and will fill
the vacancy caused by the retirement
of Mr.. MCPHERSON There is also a prop
osition to increase the number of that
committee by adding Mr. Plat OF Con-
necticut and II this were done Mr. Plat,
who is the ranking man in three impor-
tant committees. would probably give
way on the most important of these and
give some of the new men a place.
