will bring in such an unsatisfactory report
that the Christian nations will appoint a
commission, and make an investigation
whether the Turks like it or not,
The Sultan's promise of reform will not
be binding upon the Armenian revolu-
tlonary agents, no matter what may come,
and until the revolutionary agitation is
provided for one way or another by the
Christian powers of the world, there will
be no end to the disturbances in Armenia.
This is the revolutionary party's oppor-
tunlty, and it will make the most of it. If
Christianity does not step in now and put
an end to the question once for all, crimes,
massacres and the numberless atrocities
will continue
The financial methods of these men are
almost as ingenious as their plans of polit-
lcal agitation. Certain Armenians of
lower grade of mentality are required to
furnish so many thousand piasters to the
committee and the means of obtaining the
money are plainly mapped out.
A wealthy Turk in the service of the
Government at Constantinople received
letter that unless he deposited $4,000 in a
certain place within twenty-four hours he
would be killed. The letter was written by
an Armenian who had been in his employ
as trusted servant for several years.
The servant confessed his guilt but he
asserted in self-defense that the revolu-
tionary agitators had compelled him to
write the letter under penalty of death. 1t
was case of choice of evils, and the poor
wretch saved his life at the expense of a
long term of imprisonment.
Not only should the Sassoun massacre be
probed to the bottom, but all the attending
circumstances should be carefully consid-
cred For one thing the state of morals in
Armenia, and especially along the Kurdish
frontier, should receive the closest scrutiny.
The facts that are now and then told as
merest matters of course, are most ap
palling in the depth of deprayity.
As the situation now stands one is forced
to believe both Turk and Armenian are in
the wrong. So far as the Turk declares
that he is trying to suppress a revolu-
tionary movement, he is unquestionably in
the right. Most of the acts of this move
ment are no less shocking than those of
the Turks opposing it.
No one can blame the Turk for trying to
suppress revolutionary movements or for
taking prompt measures to maintain the
integrity of his empire; yet what must be
said OF him when he obtains the destruc-
ton of two dozen villages upon the mere
rumor that an uprising is in progress?
The missionaries are doing a grand work
in the interest of civilization and human
ity, and for the Turks to say they are di-
rectly or indirectly melting the Armenians
to revolution is quite as ridiculous as the
Porte's assertion that the outrages in the
Sassoun villages were committed by the
villagers themselves.

except that part narrating the arrest OF the
deposed Queen, which excited some COM
ment. The opinion was generally expressed
that the Queens strength must be-very
small and her following must have fallen
off greatly if she could be arrested without
any resistance being made.
Chairman McCreary of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs remarked that the dis
patch confirmed the latest advices to the
State Department, which he quoted in his
speech yesterday and showed that the
trouble had been greatly oyerrated in i'm
portance.
Discussion was stirred over the penalties
which might be visited upon the leaders of
the instruction, and several Republicans
expressed the opinion that it would be well
for the Government to execute two or three
for treason, according to the laws of the
most civilized nations and as warning to
Others.
To visit capital punishment on the
Queen, it was said, was probably a more
severe retribution than would be favored,
Notwithstanding her demand for the heads
of the men who had brought about the
establishment of the republic.
If any American citizens are among the
persons arrested and tried for completely
in the rebellion, undoubtedly Willis, our
Minister, will see they secure full oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence. Not
withstanding the ominous significance
conveyed by the fact that the trials were
TO be by court-martial, it is not believed
here that any very severe punishment will
be meted out to the persons convicted
except perhaps in the cases of the actual
Hawaiians.
1t is thought the United States steam
ship Philadelphia is now at Honolulu, as
she was due last Monday.

FOR THE REP UBLIC.
Consul- General Wilder Erpects to Hear
Important Ne1cS.

Consul General Wilder Expects to Hear
Important Ne1cS.
Charles T. Wilder, Hawaiian Consul
General, said last night that he had but
little to say about the situation on the
island for said he, 81 have not received
any advices. All that / know is what 1
have seen in the newspapers. The ex-
Queen being in prison is an evidence that
the Government on the islands intends to
make short work of these spasmodic re-
volts. If the authorities have arrested
other Revolutionary spirits and placed them
in jail there will soon be an end to all the
trouble.
81 noticed a dispatch in an evening
paper that the royal people of England are
very much exercised over this arrest. l do
not understand how it affects them, except
that possibly they do not like to see
royalty in jail" Then after moment
he added, "Quite a comedown from a
throne to jail. Don't you think so ?"
''And not very good jail at that was
suggested.
"Well, for a Jail, it is quite good"
When his attention was drawn to state
ment as TO the feeling of the natives as to
the new government MI. w lluer SdlQ !:
'If it were not for a few hot heads down
there the natives would have registered
long ago. These individuals frightened
them with the idea that if they registered
the United States would restore the Queen
TO the throne and then they would all be
beheaded. 1t is this threat that holds them
back. So far as to which Government is
in power seems to be immaterial to them,
for in that respect they are as Indifferent
as Cinnamon"
Mr.. Wilson expressed the opinion that
the feeling in favor of annexation grows
stronger every day, but that those who
cherish the hope of seeing the islands
under the protection of the United States
are not likely to make any move during
the next two years, at least as long as the
present administration is in power II
think, said he, that they will wait until
a Government Republican in politics is in
power.
81 also think that when the next steamer
arrives from the islands there will be some
very important news, and that it will be
learned that the royalists have been taught
a salutary lesson"

COLORED LIGHT By NIGHT.
How the S-0'CIock Forecast May Be
Made Known.
Advantages That Would Follow if the
People Could Read Signals
After Dark.

"The idea of searchlight as night Sig
nal for the Weather Bureau is good one"
said w. H. Harmon, the local forecast
official, when seen in his office in the Mills
building yesterday. This remark was
made after reading dispatch from Chicago
announcing that the forecast officer at that
place had secured the searchlight to be
used on the battleship Maine, with view
of experimenting with it.
"But, added Mr.. Harmon, sit will be
very expensive. and should the department
wish to continue it, not only there, but at
the different stations, Congress would have
to make very liberal allowance.
Chow would they use it? Well, / sup
pose the Light would be flashed through
glasses of different colors-white for fair,
green for rain and red for an approaching
storm. OF course the idea OF search
light for the purpose is a new one, but 1
am confident that it is the outcome of a
discussion had some time since by forecast
officials on the subject of getting the latest
information before the people.
"You ask where such signals would be of
the greatest advantage. Why, anywhere
Take it here, in this city, the signals would
be OF very great advantage to many per-
sons. A boss painter, for instance, gives
an order to a number of men, as they
knock off work for the day, to return the
next morning. AT that time the fair
flag is flying. Then when the 8.o'clock
forecast is made it may become necessary
to haul down the fair signal and substi-
tute the one for rain This office knows
the coming change, but the boss painter
does not, and cannot until he sees either
the rain coming down, the rain signal or
the announcement in the papers.
"If there was some tall tower in which
we could have beacon with celored
glasses, we could announce the forecast
Then the boss painter would have time be-
fore retiring to countermand his order,
thereby saving much loss of time and pre-
venting men from making useless trips to
place where they would not be able to
work.
Mr.. Harmon said that what such sig
nails would do for the boss painter they
would do for others in other lines of bust
ness, and that the signals would also be of
value to the shipping interest, for if a
storm unexpectedly approached, and that
fact was made known by colored light,
masters of vessels could take the proper
precautions TO avoid disaster.
The cost of maintaining such a night
signal would be very little, as on fair
nights it need not be maintained, and' he
thought that during a year such signal
would not have to be used on more than
seyenty-fiv nights.

Convict Ice.

1t is probable that bill will come before the
present Legislature for an appropria-
ton of 100000 to be used in the
establishment OF plant for the manu-
facture OF artificial ice by penitentiary
ccnvicts. The extravaganza of the Legislature
in creating positions at good salaries for their
friends and sueh other matters can be over
looked to an extent, as that falls on all alike
and some receive a benefit thereby; but, when
it comes to the proposing OF bills, the passage
of which would take the bread and butter out
OF the mouths OF hundreds OF people, the line
should be drawn.
There is no industry in the State that has
more claims to recognition than that OF putting
up natural ice. In the first place 1t gives en-
ployment to hundreds of men; it gives them en-
ployment at time Of the year when 1t is
most difficult to get work. Large numbers OF
men work on the iceronds during the winter,
who would otherwise probably have to tramp all
over the State in search OF something to do, and
if perchance they should find something it
would be at wages upon which no man could
live and support family. The wages paid the
men who work upon the ice are good living
wages.
There are other reasons. too, why the ice
industry should live. Our climatic condi-
tons and location are such that ice can
be put up and placed upon the market
at price that is reasonable to purchasers
and gives them no cause for complaint.
The e Convict LEGISLATURE abor e wishes be to ussd
upon something in which there is not a
living Tor the people outside. Let them
produce something that will not come
in competition with home labor and
home prices. Their labor could be utilized in
the production of those things necessary for
their own sustenanee, and then there could be
no complaint for any one or any place.
1t is difficult for US to conceive what
would prompt the proposing of that
kind of legislation. 1t is hard for us to
think that we have legislators who are
so lily informed concerning public affairs as to
make such proposition, and it would seem
would be introduced for the purpose of getting
Doodle from icemen to fight it.-Truckee Re

En- Minister of Finance Corntceu Reads
of the Er- Queen's Arrest.

c-MiIiister of Finance Corntceu Reads
of the Er- Queens Arrest.
One of the most astonished men yester-
cay was w. H. Cornwell when he heard
that ex-Queen Liliuokalani had been placed
in a common jail.
Mr. Cornwell, it will be remembered,
was Minister of Finance at the Hawaiian
Islands at the time the Queen was de-
throned, and he was an ex-member of the
House of Mobiles.
He is a royalist in the full sense of the
word, was the faithful friend and adviser
of the dusky Queen, and since her de-
thronement has remained ever true to her
interests, and has always been of the
opinion that she would be restored to
power.
The fact of her arrest and incarceration
came to him so unexpectedly that he could
scarcely realize what he read, but upon
reflection gave it as his opinion that it
might not be so bad as reported, and that
until he obtained confirmatory news he
would prefer not to discuss the subject.

said the latest information he had seen
concerning the ex-Queen was that she had
gone out to the residence of Nowlein Tor

In Laramie, Wy, lived a stationcr
and feed store keeper who We're deadly

when he was hailed by the feed man,
who was on the sidewalk in front of his

ing eyes of the latter indicated that he
was mad-redhot-all through

Didn't always tell you that fellow was

The mutual friend looked, but failed
to see the object of the feed mans

Don't you see it," queried the feed
dealer. Don't you see that sign out in
front? See what that measly whelps
gone and done"
This time the mutual friend saw o
large placard in front of the stationer's
window like this: "Baled hay for sale
here. "

snorted the feed man. "Feller told me
he heard him swear he'd bust me up
