He explained that the roads reported
very much smaller gross earnings per
mile in Wisconsin than in Illinois, for
the obvious reason that in Illinois they
paid taxes on property and In WIiscon-

DEATH OF J. MOTT SMITH.
Close of the Career of the
Noted Statesman of
Hawaii.
Distinguished as a Minister of FL
nance and Member of Three
Royal Cabinets.

HONOLULU, HAWAII Aug. 10.-J. Mott
Smith, whose last public service was with
the annexation commission to Washing
ton, died suddenly to-day.
J. Mott Smith had been identified with
the Government of the islands since 1867.
Three times he was in the Cabinet. Liliuo-
kalani made him Minister OF Finance and
then the successor of III. A. P. Carter as
Minister Resident at Washington. He
was described as a wise counselor and a
shrewd diplomat. Admired for strength
of character, sound Judgment and keen
discernment. In private life he was very
generally esteemed for his social qualities.
He was born in New York, and after his
education was completed became dentist.
He went to California, in 1S49 and came to
Honolulu in 1851. He was successful in
his profession here, and on account of his
ability soon drifted into political life. He
was first director of Government publish
ing This was in 1867. During the follow
ing years he was sent to Washington as
charge d'affaires to advocate the reciproc-
itY treaty, and his success in the American
capital, as a representative of the Hawaiian
Kingdom, is matter of history.
The year following his return from
shlngton-1869-he was appointed to
his first cabinet position by King
Kamehameha V, and as Minister of
Finance he controlled the pecuniary
affairs of the Government until the Kings
decease. In1S73 he was appointed Presi-
dent OF the Board of Education by
Lunalilo l. In 1874 he was also appointed
a member of the Board of Education by
Kalakaua l. In addition to that position
he was also created a member of the
House of Mobiles by the late King, and
capacities, besides being meanwhile a
member of the Privy Council of State.
In 1876 DR.. Mott Smith was appointed to
the Cabinet for the second time by King
Kalakaua, and officiated as Minister of the
Interior for three years. In 1882, being Sc
lected by the Cabinet as an eligible man to
represent the Government, he was again
sent to Washington as resident commits
sioner to advocate the continuance of the re-
ciprocity treaty then and yet in force, and to
assist in promoting Hawaiian interests gen
orally in the American capital. He resided
in Washington as Hawaiian Commissioner
for the ensuing four years, during which
time he also had charge of the Hawaiian
exhibit at the New Orleans Exposition
in 1885, and subsequently at the exposi-
ton at Louisville.
In 1859 DR.. Mott Smith married Miss
Ellen Dominis Patty, lady of American
BIRTH and daughter of Collector-General
Patty. Their union has been blessed with
seven children, three sons and four
daughters, all of whom were born in Hon.
olua. One daughter was but lately mar
ried. Two sons are now here, one having
arrived yesterday.

ROBBERS RA|DED A TOWN,
Two Bold Bandits Proceeded
to Hold Up the Entire
Population.
While Plundering a Store They
We're Shot At by a Detective,
Whom They Killed.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Aug. 1.-Two
robbers rode into the little town of Val
entine, in Preside County, last night and
proceeded to hold up the entire commu-
nifty. They cleared the streets by firing
at every one they could see. Then when
they thought that they had sufficiently
terrorized the population they proceeded
to the store of Kelsey g. Co., which they
proceeded deliberately to plumber.
1t was at this point that they met with
their first setback. Captain j. R. Ellsbury,
Southern Pacific Railroad detective, ap-
peared on the scene and began firing at
them. The robbers stopped their work IN
the store and at once returned the fire. A
desperate fight occurred and bullets flew
thick. Finally bullet struck Captain
Ellsbury, passing through his body and
killing him instantly.
The bravery displayed by Ellsbury had
aroused the other men OF the town, and
the robbers, seeing danger ahead, mounted
their horses and struck out for the Next

could go.
AS soon as possible word was sent te
Captain Hughes company OF rangers
They arrived at the scene OF the shooting
early this morning and at once started
after the robbers. 1t is thought that there
is little chance of the men belng caught
as they were mounted on good horses and
were apparently familiar with the country,

clded that after this year there will be no
civic official celebration of Sedan day.
After sixty German engine-drivers, who
were on duty in the conquered province
during the war; gathered st Wurzburg, Ba-
yaria, and celebrated the anniversaries OF
the battles, they sent telegram of congrat-
ulations and good wishes to Bismarck.
Emperor William will arrive at his castle
in the Metz district on October 10. On the
18th he will personally unveil the Woerth
monument. Empress Frederick, his
mother. and the South German veterans
will attend the ceremony.
A sugar bank will be founded in this city
for the purpose of assisting distressed re-
fners and beet-root growers.
Chapman Coleman, ex-secretary of the
American Embassy, has arrived here. He
will remain for some time. Mrs. Brown,
widow of Senator Brown of Georgia, wlGs:
ten young American ladies who have all
been visiting Russia, are now in Berlin on
the way back to the United States. Miss
Lita Herbert, daughter of the Hon. Hilary
Herbert, after a visit to the Hon. Clifton
R. Breckenridge, the American Minister to
Russia, has arrived here, where she will
make short stay.
Among the other Americans here are
Colonel Abbott of Georgia, Mrs. Richard
son of New York and G. G. Baldwin Of
Chicago. Mr.. Ingersoll, manager of the
New York Life Insurance Company, and
Mr. McClintock of the Mutual Insurance
Company, accompanied by their lawyer,
Charleton Lewis, are here in connection
with the action OF the Prussian Govern
ment forbidding their companies to do
business in Prussia. S. w. Glider of New
York and his son and Mr.. Dekay, the
American Consul-General, will shortly
proceed to Herinsdorf to join their falni-
lies.

where he has just spent SIX weeks In
special inquiries into the contract labor
question. He went on his own account,
and was not commissioned by this Govern
ment. Armstrong states that the Govern
ment of Japan is quite willing to have
regulations made by Hawaii requiring
japanese laborers to return home on the
expiration of their contracts, provided that
such regulations apply equally to all ma
tionalities. They will submit to no dis
elimination against Japanese laborers IN
particular.
Armstrong reports that Japan contem-
plates an early establishment of steamer
lines via Honolulu, perhaps to San Diego,
to carry American cotton to Japan, and
Japan Goals in return. Large numbers OF
steamers employed in war transit are now
lying idle awaiting the full settlement of
peace arrangements, and will probably
soon be employed in various Japanese
commercial lines.
Armstrong was in close communication
with various diplomatic persons and with
some Japanese officials. He believes that
Japan will have no more war. She will
probably yield to an occupation OF Korea
by Russia, glad to have that power as a
buffer between herself and China, and
being quite unable to control and regulate
Korea. Skilled manufactures ere making
rapid progress in Japan, to the disad-
vantage of other manufacturing countries.
AS an example. small steel safes with al
phabetic combination locks, u ''iy sold
for $40, are turned out in ia an for $25.
There is every reason to expect 81. feat de-
velopment of Russian power on the coast
of China, which Japan will not seek to
prevent.

and ability and his friends think the court
too severe on him for losing his temper
when no court was in session.
