response from the Hawaiian govern
ment in the mail just received. Secre-
tary Gresham S note reached San Fran
cisco in time to catch boat which
would arrive at Honolulu about the
last of February Since then several
ships have left Honolulu, the last one
reaching San Francisco and Vancou-
yer, respectively, about a week ago.
They brought the official mail, which
has now arrived at the legation. 1t is
known that it contains d long COM
munication from Mr.. Hatch, the
Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs,
as Mr.. Hastings received brief mes
sage saying that such a communica-
ton was on its way. If the Hawaiian
government has replied, Mr. Thurston
would be the natural and only channel
OF communicating it to the state de-
partment, as he remains the official
representative Of Hawaii until his re-
call is actually accomplished That
Secretary Gresham asked for Mr.
Thurston's recall there is no longer
any doubt, though the manner in
which 1T was put is not yet known.
Before answering Secretary Gresham.
1t is presumed the Hawaiian govern
ment will communicate with its min
lister and seek his version of the cir
cumstances before acceding to Secre-
tary Gresham's request. which, in
measure, implies a personal affront TO
the individual under these circum-
stances The communication from
Hawaii, If it refers to the recall. as is
thought extremely likely, may be a
sort of reply to Mr.. Gresham's request.
Further developments therefore will
be watched with great interest, and
especially the answer of Hawaii, as a
declination to accede to Secretary
Gresham's request doubtless would be
followed by Minister Thurston being
given his passports, an act equal to
severance of diplomatic relations.

BISMARCK, n. D., March 90
William w. Pancoast, bank robber,
swindler and wife murderer-the
Harry Hayward Of North Dakota
will not hang according to the pro-
gramme arranged by the district
court of Morton county. 1t will be
remembered that Pancoast robbed
a Medina, o., bank Of 900 fifteen
years ago, ran away to Canada,
started a barrel factory, swindled
it's stockholders, moved on to Min
neapolis, changed his name to My
ron r. Kent, married a pretty girl
of good connections Of that city and
emigrated to Morton county, North
Dakota, where, on March %, 1893,
his young wife was murdered in
cold blood. Kent was not at home.
His hired man was arrested, and at
first said the killing was accidental;
that he was chasing burglar round
the house and the gun went off at
window accidentally, killing Mrs.
Kent This man afterward confessed
that he had deliberately killed Mrs.
Kent for $1,S00, which Kent had
promised him. Kent was captured
in Colorado, brought back here, tried,
convicted and sentenced to hang. At
the trial Kents attorney protested
against the trial judge on the
ground of prejudice. 1t is on this
point that the supreme court of
North Dakota has granted a new
trial.
The court holds under the statute,
which states that when the defend
ant presents an affidavit stating that
he cannot have a fair trial by reason
of bias and prejudice of the judge,
it is the absolute duty of such judge
to call in another judge to help try
the case. The word may" in the
statute must be construed as man
datory. 1t was not an error for the
trial judge to permit Frank M. Nye,
of Minneapolis, to appear and assist
the states attorney, the latter MAX
ing the request that he should be
SO allowed. 1t is proper to charge
as principal in a homicide one who
counselS and directs a murder. In
formation may aver that he him
self fired the fatal shot, when, in
fact, it was fired by some one he in
stigated to commit the crime. 1t is
an error for the court to refuse to
allow counsel for the accused to
ask an accomplice, who had by his
own testimony made out case Of
murder against himself, whether he
expected to be hung. 1t is an error
to refuse to permit counsel to prove,
as bearing upon the credibility of
that accomplice, that no proceedings
had been instigated against him for
murder confessed by him, although
several months had elapsed since
the crime was perpetrated. In North
Dakota no person can be convicted
on the uncorroborated testimony of
an accomplice; but it is not neces-
sary that the corroborating evil
dence should be sufficient in itself
to support conviction; it is enough if
it tends to connect the accused with
the crime.

brought home to him and shown
that he had revised the manuscript
before it was printed. There were
other grievances against the min
lister growing out Of allegations of
immortality and improper conduct
toward the Perkins claim, then
pending, although these matters
were not made ground for official
complaint. On June Is Secretary
tfsh,by direction of President Grant,
directed our minister to Russia, Mr..
Fuftln, to inform the Russian gov
ernment that the conduct of Mr.
Catacazy, both officially and per-
sonally, has been for some time
such as to impair his usefulness to
his own government, and render in
tercourse either for business or social
purposes disagreeable. Under these
circumstances the interests of both
countries would be promoted and re-
lauons displayed on a sure footing
If the Russian legation here was to
be changed"
Ihe significant point in the Rus
sian case is that the United States
insisted that it was under no obIi-
cation to make out a case against
the OFFENDING minister, but that it
was sufficient to cause his recall to
say that he was Objectionable. And
SO IN THURSTON'S CASE
there probably will be no attempt
made to connect him with the obiec-
nc
held to be sufficient that he rests IN
der suspicion, which may or NAV NOT
be well founded.
AS to the outcome, there is much
doubt, for it all rests with the Ha-
Waiian government, and depends
"hether that government takes the
ground that its minister has been at
tacKed because of personal reasons,
or whether it may regard the demand
Ior MS recall as the result of the faith
1ul execution of official charges con-
hned to his care. Of course the minis
ter will go in either case. But if the
hawaiian government takes the lat
ter view, 1t will simply omit to ac-
credit another person to succeed him
and In this case Mr.. Willis, our minis
ter to Hawaii, will be obliged to take
leave OF absence, just as Mr.. Porter
our minister to Italy, did when Baron
Fava was recalled as the result of the
killing of his fellow-countrymen in
New Orleans four years ago. 1t is
gathered this afternoon that the in
dictment preferred against Minister
Thurston by the administration is
founded upon section 1,751 of the Re-
Nsed Statutes, which reads as fol-
lows:
No diplomatic or consular officer
shall correspond in regard TO the pub
lie affairs Of any foreign government
with any private person, newspaper,
or other periodical, or otherwise than
with the proper officers of the United
States. nor recommend any person, at

NO DOUBT OF THE RECALL.
Question Is Will Hawaii Break
With Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON, March 2O-An inti-
mate friend of Minister Thurston, now
in Washington, says that Mr.. Thurs
ton has no official information as to
the request for his recall, while at the
same time no doubt exists on the part
of the minister that such a sugges-
ton has been made to the Hawaiian
government. 1t is not likely, however
that Mr.. Thurston will leave this coun-
try. He will continue, it is stated, to
look after Hawaiian interests in an
unofficial manner. Mr. ThurSton'S
friends say that as a matter of fact he
has never been treated at the state de-
partment as other ministers have been
treated, and has not been accorded the
courtesy usually extended to men hold
ing similar positions. The latest Off
cial mail from Hawaii has arrived
here. Minister Thurston declined to
state whether 1t contained anything
bearing on the request of Secretary
Gresham for Mr.. Thurston's recall.
The minister maintains absolute sill
ence on the subject, and has since the
report first appeared The legation
office is open to callers, however, and
the usual business proceeds briskly
between Minister Thurston and Mr..
Hastings, the secretary of legation.

GENOA, Neb., March pa notice

examiner, says:
1.-The bank closed; is in my hands as
temporary receiver Less than two
weeks ago the bank was reorganizeQ
and a new set of officers was chosen,
with a woman as president. It was
announced at the time that the re-
organizat ton made the bank one of the
strongest financial institutions of it's
size in the state. 1t had a capital
stock of $4,000. The conditions of
the bank as stated by the receiver
are as follows: Assets and liabilities.
$66 1000; deposits, $2S,OOO. The assets
consist largely of notes, many OF
which will be hard to realize upon.
The receiver expresses the opinion
that the bank will pay out without
loss to depositors, but 1t will require
time. When the bank was reorganized

matter today, "but the published
reports say that Mr.. Thurston's re-
call has been asked because he made
public diplomatic correspondence be-
fore submitting it to the secretary.
Ii this is correct he was clearly in
the wrong and could not expect that
the secretary would do otherwise
than ask for his recall. 1t was clear
ly a breach Of official etiquette, and
not afford to encourage. There
might be times when such a course
would lead to serious consequences.
and if matters of international inn
portance are to be so treated by the
representative of foreign govern
ments we might as well have no
state department. / have heard it
suggested" continued the senator,
that there was some prejudice on
the part Of the department toward
Mr.. Thurston because it is believed
there that the minister has supplied
senators antagonistic to the policy
of the government in Hawaiian af-
fairs with some of the facts used in
the debates in the senate, but that
fact, if it be a fact, should cut no
figure. The state department could
ask nothing of Mr.. Thurston except
courteous treatment at his hands
in official dealings with the depart
ment. 1t could have no supervision
over his intercourse with senator's

nothing more would happen to strain
the relations with the Dole govern
ment, for believe it is a good gov
ernment, and that the
HAWAIIANS HAVE A REPUBLIC
which is such in fact as we'll as in
.name-not like these Central Ameri-
can republics, incluring Mexico,
which are nothing but military des-
potisms."
A member of the diplomatic corps,
long in the service and we'll versed
in the procedure, said: 1.-The books
do not contain a precedent warrant
ing a demand for minister's recall
because he has failed to make pub

within his country. In the case of
Mr.. Thurston, he was under no OBJ
legation to give to the state depart
ment information of the sentences
imposed on those convicted Of
rebellion. 1t was information as to
facts which had actually occurred,
and not of subjects involved in dip
lomatic negotiations. The prece-
dents are agreed that a minister
should not communicate with the
press or give opinions on purely dip
lomatic questions, but he is always
at liberty to state conditions Of af-
fairs"

SAN FRANCISCO March 20.-The
legal contest over the $400000O0 left by
the late James c.. Fair has been topic
of general discussion here since the
production of the latest will in the

that ten days before his death, Fair
executed another autographic will
and entrusted it to the keeping of
Mrs. Hessie Paxton, sister of the wife
of Col. Warfeld, proprietor of the Cal
ifornia hotel. The late millionaire
and the Warfields were friends. Mrs.
Paxton has left the city for Los An,
geles, and the rumor cannot be veri-
fed. Rumors of other alleged willis
were also heard, and it is hinted that
it may be shown that the late millions
aire had a mania for executing last
wills and testaments and entrusting
them to the keeping of his lady friends.
