Deputy Sheriff Burke yesterday
afternoon visited Silver City and
searched the cabin Of George Walton,
the bullion bar frand. 1t would seem
rs if Walton had made very elaborate
preparations for Disgusting himself,
rs the Deputy Sheriff found an assort-
ment of false mustaches, imperials and
curls in the cabin. Tho rurls were OF
women's hair and were four or Ave
inches long. 1t is probable that Wal
ton intended to construct n disguise
for himself at first and procured
stock OF false hair, but finally got the
wig and false beard which he wore
ready made. Besides the false hair,
three or four bottles OF chemicals and
some paper containing formulas for
chemical compounds were found. 1t
is possible the latter things played a
part in the work OF making the bogus
bar OF bullion. These things were all
taken possession OF and are in the
Sheriff's charge at present. They
may be used in evidence at Walton's
trial.
Walton's preliminary examination
will be held early next week.

Probably the most startling dis.
covery Of this decade has been that OF
producing acctylene gas so chcaply
that every indication points to it

discovery WAS made that lime md

nary Stag. This when thrown into
water was dccomposcd, the oxygen OF
the water uniting with the lime, the
hydrogen with the carbon, thus pro.
ducing tho hydrocarbon known as
acctylcnc. That this is the finality
in illuminants sounds reasonable,
when the composition OF sunlight. as

similar qualities Of acetylenc gas

OMAHA. Jan. 6.-James Griflen, Will
lam O'Brien and William Beck, Eastern
crooks, who succeeded in getting away
with $1,000 belonging to the guests of the
Paxton and Millard Hotels, were arrested
to-day. The robbery occurred on Friday
night, but the valuables were not missed
until yesterday. The goods stolen from
the Paxton amounted to S400 or $500, the
loss being divided between a halt-doZen
different guests. At the MiIlard, Eugene
SandoW was the only victim reported to
have lost anything, but his loss was
heavier than the others combined. His
heaviest loss was gold watch set with
diamonds, which was present to him
before he came to this country. and
which he valued at 81, 800. He also lost
Sl00 in cash.
The only clew obtained to the robbers
was at the Millard, where two strangers
had come IN late and registered, paying
for their room in advance. These men
made their disappearance early in the
morning. SandOw, who lett for St. Paul
last evening, claimed that he had locked
his door before going to bed, but he had
found 1t unlocked when he got up yester-
day morning. At 3 o'clock this morning
the police rounded the crooks up. They
were all armed, but the officers got the
drop. They submitted quietly, but at
the station made a desperate effort to es-
cape, and the entire Office force was in
volved in a fight with them before they
could be locked up.

AFFAIRS IN HAWAII.
THE PLOT TO OVERTHROW THE
NEW GOVERNMENT.
Three Of the Main Conspirators Held
for Trial Without
Bail.
Special to the RECoRD-uN1nN

HONOLULU, Dec. 81. per steamer China,
via San Francisco, Jan. 6.-The prelimi-
nary examination of the alleged con-
splrators took place last week, and three
OF them have been held for trial without
bail. The main witnesses for the prosecu-
tlon were spies in the employ OF the Gov
ernment, who wormed themselves into
the confidence of the conspirators, and
when the proper time came gave the
whole thing away.
According to the testimony of the wit
nesses for the Government there was a
deliberate plot to obtain possession of the
Government buildings, and all the promi-
nent supporters OF the republic were to
be surprised and arrested at their homes
by details of the conspirators. The Gov
ernment detectives even obtained COM
piete lists of all those who were to be ar
rested. Among them were President
Dole, his Cabinet officers, members Of the
Executive and Advisory Councils, newly
elected members OF the Legislature, Gus
tom House, army and police officials.
The conSpirators claimed TO have some
1000 stand OF arms and the support OF the
natives, but the trial developed that the
natives took no stock in the affair, and
that the conspiracy was simply gotten up
by gang of soreheaded whites and half
whites. Two Of three who are held for
trial are English, and even the British
Commissioner refuses to have anything
to do with them, and tells them they
must take the consequence of their acts.
The only defense made by the accused
was an endeavor to dIscredit the testi-
mony of the witnesses for the prosecu-
ton, which failed.
President Dole has received an auto
graph letter from President Mont of
Chile recognizing the new republic.
