ROMANCE AND DITORCE.
Mrs. Parker and Her English Lord Haze
Considerable Trouble.

Considerable Trouble.
PERRY, 0. T., Aug. 22-Mrs. Maude
Parker, once well-known society woman
of Chicago, filed suit for divorce from
Everett E. Parker in the District Court at
Newkirk, this State. Mrs. Parker says she
and Everett Parker were married in Chi
cago in November, 1892, and she thought
before the marriage that he was rich. The
next morning after the marriage Mrs.
Parker alleges that her husband requested
loan of some money of her, and to her
great astonishment she learned that he
was penniless, and she left him.
Mrs. Parker came to Oklahoma and pro-
cured some valuable property. After three
months stay in Perry she brought suit for
divorce against Parker in the Probate
Court. While this suit was pending Mrs.
Parker met Il. T. Brook, an English lord
fresh from London, who is rich and whose
income from an estate left him in the East
is from $4,000 to $4,000 yearly.
1t was case of love at first sight. Mrs.
Parker obtained divorce in the Probate
Court, but very soon the Supreme Court of
Oklahoma decided that divorces granted
by probate judges were null and void.
Everett e. Parker, the husband, appeared
on the scene, having been, he said, looking
for his pretty wife for more than year.
He swore out warrants for the arrest of
Lord Brook and Mrs. Parker, and after a
weeks trial the case was dismissed, and it
was said money settled it. New trouble
arose. A difference in Mrs. Parkers testi-
mony led to her indictment for perjury
Lord Brook was indicted for selling whisky
by wholesale without license. Besides
the court and people were getting after the
unhappy pair for living together as man
and wife, so Lord Brook and the woman
went to another city and were secretly
married. Then warrants were sworn out
charging them with bigamy. So Lord
Brook and the woman fed to British Co.
lumbia. Two weeks ago Mrs. Parker Sc
cretly came back for divorce from Parker
again.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Aug. 22-The Re-
publican convention for the nomination of
the five State Senators and fifteen legisia-
tive representatives for Salt Lake County
and for the election of delegates to the
State convention and the judicial conven-
ton has been in session since 10 o'clock
this morning. Mrs. Emeline B. Wells was
chosen for temporary chairman and the
permanent Craftsmanship fell to c. S.
Varian.
Resolutions in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, protection and
reciprocity and woman's suffrage were
adopted. The entire day was consumed in
receiving reports of the committees and in
cancusing, there being many discordant
factions in the convention. BalIoting for
legislative representatives was commenced
at 10 o'clock tonight, and it looks as
though it will be daylight tomorrow
morning before the nominations are made.

FOUGHT FIERCELY ON Il TRAIN.
During the Battle TtCo of the Excursion
lists Were Killed.

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 22.-While an
excursion train on the way from Knoxville,
Tenn, to Cumberland Gap was going at
full speed number of intoxicated persons
commenced fight; the trainmen, as
sisted by Captain Wynne, superintendent
of the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and
Louisville Railroad, attempted to restore
order. When they interfered the bel
ligerents drew knives and pistols and shot
in the car heedlessly. When quiet was re-
stored two of the excursionists were found
dead from pistol wounds and Captain
Wynne was dangerously cut.

BALTIMORE, MD, Aug. PIN re-
sponse to a call issued by Editor n. A.
Dunning of the Watchman, Washington.
D. c., about fifty Populists met in this city
to-day and held the Maryland State con-
vention of the Peoples party.
They nominated: For Governor, Henry
7. Newton of Caroline County; Attorney
General, William B. Morrell of Calvert
County; Comptroller, S. H. Gibson of
Somerset County. When the resolutions
committee made its report, indorsing the
Omaha platform and authorizing the free
coinage of silver, there was trouble. The
Dunning faction wanted a free-coinage
plank in order to secure the Socialistic
vote. The convention adopted the report
of the committee, and the Dunning faction
left the hall in disgust.
Last year the Peoples party polled about
1000 votes in the State. They will hardly
be factor in the political campaign.

THE SITUATION CRITICAL.

Chinese Massacre.

English Papers Talk Poi,atedIy of the
Chinese Massacre.
LONDON, Eng, Aug. 22.-The Standard
will tomorrow say: "1t is becoming more
certain than ever that the unchecked if
not stimulated fury of the populace of
China against foreigners will, unless means
are found for meeting the danger, spread
throughout the empire until the lives of
the whites will be nowhere worth an hours
purchase. The situation is critical and is
one of extreme necessity. Resolutions of
some kind are imperative, whether in CO.
operation with other powers or not. Eng
land clearly must find a way of compelling
res spect for the lives and properties of for
eigners."
The paper deprecates the assumption
that the same evasions and deceits will be
practiced as before unless the British Con-
sui reports. 1t discusses the possibility of
making the nation, and especially the
mandarins, feel it worth while not to mo-
lest foreigners.
China, it says, must be asked to make
concessions to the country wronged.
Great Britain wants more Consuls in the
interior and more markets for English
goods. This would doubtless benefit other
European nations, the United States and
Japan so much that Great Britain would
not be accused of wanting privileges that
only herself would be able to enjoy.
The Chronicle, treating on the same SUBJ
ject, wonders how much longer the out
RACES will be allowed to go on and whether
more lives must be sacrificed before Prime
Minister Salisbury loses faith in Chinese

privileges from the State, and especially the
regulations OF rates for transportation by the
railroads of the State.
The convention proper adjourned at the
close OF the afternoon meeting. The even
ing was occupied by two addresses. one by
". D. Oldham of Kearny, and the other
by ex-Congressman w. J. Bryan of Lin
coin. Both speeches were well received,
and that of Mr.. Bryan was triumph of
oratory, the audience cheering and ap-
plauding him throughout and giving him
a great ovation at the close.

ALLEGED SCHEME TO RESEAT
QUEEN LILIOUKAIiANI ON
THE THRONE.
THE SNAP GIVEN AWAY TO A
CHRONICLE REPORTER.
The Alleged Agent Talks Freely of the
Plans of the Fihbusterers-Cl
Spreckles' Son Said to Be
Backing the Scheme.

San Francisco, Aug. 4-The Chronicle
prints a story exposing AN alleged plot to
restore Queen Liloukalani to the throne.
Rudolph Spreckels, youngest son of Claus
Spreckles, is said to be backing the
scheme The Chronicle says:
One of the best concocted and most dam
gerous filibustering expeditions ever
fitted out ON American soil was uncovered
in San Francisco yesterday. Its object
is, or was, to take THE Hawaiian repub-
lie by force of arms, restore the throne
to ex-Queen Liloukalani, and divide
lands, money and goods worth approx
mately $27, 100000, among some zoo free
hooters picked up by ones and twos in
western America. The active agent of the
conspirators is w. b. Morrow, . native
of Connecticut, aged 81, and, he says, a
resident of Grass Valley, California. He
is still in San francisco, under surveil-
lance, SO that the Federal authorities can
get him if they acre ITO do so.
The headquarters of the tilibusterers'
expedition has been at I'll Bush street,
dingy fiat, fronting boarding houses.
nhe chief conspirators have been re-
ceiving day and night motley crowd of
men, who call i'm response to his cautiously
Worded advertisements published in this
city and elsewhere.
Morrow admitted last night when
forced into q corner and told that the
game was up, that he had been engaging
men to go to Hawaii and overturn the
republic. He had told before to a re-
porter how the timing was TO lie done
and stated plainly who the men were
enumerated one of the eXiled Ashfords
and he declared THAT Rudolph Spreckles
was the man with the money who was
backing the project. Spreclels, he said
had already concealed large number OF
rifles in the island of Maui, so that they
would be ready when the ijlibusterers
reached there.
The first local intimatiOn of the eXDedi.
ton appeared in an advertisement few
days ago. The advertisement. which led
to the discovery of the fiHbustering
scheme, appeared in a morning paper OF
Tuesday, July 30. Tt reads:
"Timbermen and hunters 70 escort pros
pecting party good pay to good men; state
age. Address box 1859, Examiner Office.
A Chronicle reporter answered the ad
vertisement and i'm few hours received
the following typewriter response:
I'VE want men for an expedition, and
there will probably be some fighting i'm
the interest of 10000 people, with less
| than 5000 to oppose them. Only a small
| organized body to go, not exceeding 100
| Pay will be $50 and upwards per month,

because Ashford is partly to blame for
the last affair. We have an attorney who
is giving us advice and who is to accom-
pany the expedition. His name is Bash
ford.
"In regard Ito the makeup of the party,
there are about 200 men, nearly all cow
boys from New Mexico, Arizona and
Texas. and most of them are hare, scat
tered around"
Morrow said that the natives and peo-
Pile in general would welcome the revolu-
tionary party, and, as The expressed it,
would consider it like getting out of he'll
into Iheayen to have a monarchy again.
1.-The hrSt thing to be dome after land
ing will be the cutting of telephone and
telegraphic communication on the island
to prevent the calling of aid.
Next will be the police station, where
There are only 20 men, whose arms and
ammunition are on the upper floors while
the men are down below. The next will
be the palace, where the gatling guns
are stationed on "a piazza. We also de-
pend ON some of our spies to cripple the
gatllng gums. Next we shall cake the
government building, which is guarded by
only II men. After capturing these points
we WEI leave men to guard them. We
think that we ought to capture the city
wluhln MALT an hour as the points are so
weakly guarded"
Hawaiian Consul Wilder, when told of
the plot, said he had expected trouble of
some kind very soon.
Morrow was seen today by a detective
and closely questioned. He admits that
he was hiring men for a filibust aring eXpe-
dltion and paid SO per month and ex-
penses for work. He claims to have sent
nllmper of men to Ithe rendezvous at
Portland, but this is not belie7ed. It is
Thought the intention of the alventurers
was to set sail from here or some nearby
port IN vessel chartered for the occasion.
The San Francisco police at first Thought
Morr0W was running swindling employ
ment bureau, but investigation leads them
to think that g conspiracy of the nature
outlined actually exists.
In spite of the exposure today, Morrow
was very cool and said the Federal authori-
ties mad no terrors for him. He had COM
mitted no overt act and they could do
nothing except watch him.

poets suit you, answer and a meeting can
be arranged"
1t was easy to see what this meant.
The 10000 people referred to comprise
the royalists and native population of the
Hawaiian Islands. The 5000 are the
people who are loyal to the Dole repub-
lie. The reporter then arranged an in
terview with Mr.. Morrow and called
upon him at the boarding house on Bush
street. The expedition was discussed
and the reporter evinced desire to
join it.
'Have you any idea of the goal of this
eXpedition?" he was asked.
The Chronicle reporter said that he
Thought it might be Salvador.
"That is a mistake" was the reply.
"The scheme is to restore the queen of
the Sandwich Islands to her throne. We
will enlist 200 to 400 men from here and
take a sailing vessel from this port within
10 DAYS or two weeks. We have been
giving out false information as to our
starting point, saying that we we're going
to Alaska. We shall, however, go from
here i'm about 10 days. 1t will take about
S1C; to buy the necessary outfit of clothes
and ammunition, arms, etc.
"The Dole government owns three
quarters of the landed property in the
islands and the proposition is that if the
eypeditiOn is successful to distribute the
captured property to the adherents and
send Dole and his supporters out of the
islands without a cent. 400
'sThe standing army consists of 10
men and 40 officers besides militia OF
$50 men. The armament of the stand
ing army is six gatling guns, which are
stationed at the palace. In the city OF
Honolulu the Dole government claims
1000 adherents, and of these 1000 there
are 1000 friends of the ex-queen.

steamers that ply between the islands
and thpn approach Honolulu and capture
