Death of Turfman Morris.

HOUSTON. TEX, May pa Post spe-
cial from Kerrville, Tex, says:
John A. Morris, the celebrated turfman
of New York. died at his ranch, eighteen
miles from here, at 6 o'clock this evening.
Mr.. Morris arrived here on Thursday on
special train. With him were A. Natalie,
DR.. Belden Jr., Mr.. Mcdonald and w. w.
Williams of New Orleans. On Thursday
he went out to see fine animal that had
been bitten by rattlesnake, and which DR..
Belden treated with aconite.
On Friday at noon Mr.. Morris was seized
with a fit OF apoplexy and never recovered
consciousness, though physicians from San
Antonio were summoned. His wife and
friends in New York were telegraphed, and
are now en- route on a special train.
John A. Morris was one of the best known
horsemen in the world, and for years has
kept up a magnificent breeding ranch in
this country, which was famous for its pure
atmosphere. He was in the best of health
and spirits up to the moment he was
stricken.

ENGLAND STANDS ALOOF,
Will Not Interfere In Behalf of
Political Prisoners in
Hawaii.
Precautions Taken at Honolulu to
Guard Against FilibusterIng
Excursions.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, May 20-The
correspondence between the British Com
missioner, Halves, and the Foreign Office
will soon close, with the laurels in the
hands of the Foreign Office. The claim
made by the political prisoners, Richard
and Walker has been completely refuted
by the evidence submitted by the Foreign
Office. The written application of these
men for naturalization, the payment of the
fees, the taking of the oath of allegiance
and the service of year in the Legislature
OF one of them, has been carefully proved,
and the British Commissioner finds that
he was deceived by the statements of these
men, and he will SO report to the British
Foreign Office. 1t wassthe expectation OF
these men that the British Government
would interfere and act in summary
manner, and the Royalists are bitterly dis
appointed that the case goes against them.
There are many rumors of tilibustering
expeditions from the coast. The Govern
ment received information of such posi-
tive nature regarding the filling out of one
expedition from Puget Sound that it at
once armed the steamer Lehua and COM
missioned it as a revenue cutter. It has
made several cruises around the islands.
but has not discovered any hostile vessel.
On the 18th inst. Paul Neumann was re-
tanned by Jonah Kalanianaole to COM
mence habeas corpus proceedings in behalf
of the latter. Kalanianaole was a Prince
under the monarchy. he was convicted on
a charge of misprision of treason and was
sentenced for three years and to pay a fine
of $1,000. He will test the constitutionality
of the Military Court proceedings. The
matter will be brought before the court
within few days.
The trial of John E. Bush and Joseph
Nawahi has ended in a defeat for the
Government. These men were arrested
previous to the January uprising on a
charge of conspiracy. They were COM
mitted for trial on the testimony of two
disreputable individuals who were spies in
the service of the Government. The cap
ture of few rifles on Bushs premises was
the only damaging evidence against the
men. Nawahi was acquitted and in Bush's
case the jury disagreed.
President Dole has named Juue II as
the day for the Legislature to meet in ex-
ira session. 1t is expected that the law
makers will finish their work in about
thirty days.
The Government has made no move
toward appointing Minister in the place
of Mr.. Thurston. There is no immediate
necessity for doing SO as the republic is
well represented by Mr.. Hastings. Many
here prefer that he would be Mr.. Thurs.
tons successor. The Government has not
considered the matter as the situation does
not demand immediate action

FOR MUNICIPAL REFORM,
The Conference of National
Leagues to Be Held in
Cleveland, Ohio.
List Of the Notable Speakers Who
Are to Take Part in the Com
ing Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 26.-Judg-
ing from the very general attention given
by the newspapers to the forthcoming
meeting of the National Municipal League
to be held the last three days of this month
in Cleveland the concern for the future
welfare of the larger cities is growing
At the first conference held in Philadel-
phia the general features OF the problem
were given consideration and the munich
pal conditions of the leading Eastern
cities were described.
The third conference, in conjunction
with which the first annual meeting of the
National League will be held, meets in
Cleveland upon the invitation of the
Cleveland Chamber of Commerce and the
Civic Federation, and the programme as
arranged provides for the consideration of
the municipal condition of about eighteen
cities, mostly of the second class.
The three Pacific Coast cities, San Fran
cisco, Seattle and Portland, viii be con-
sidered. Ex-Mayor Platte Rogers will
give an account of the political conditions
of Denver. Mayor George w. Ochs, who
will read paper on Chattanooga, Tenn, is
credited with reducing the city's running
expenses during his administration from
1902, 144 per annum to $1S9, 200.
John Willis Bear Secretary of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor, has
prepared report of what Endeavorers
have done in year or two of lettering
government. The question of good
city government will be considered from
the physicians standpoint by John S.
Billings, Md. deputy surgeon-general U.
s. A., and professor of hygiene in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, and from the
womans stardpoint by Mrs. G. A. Runkle
of New York City. Rev. Washington

presided over by James c. Carter, presi-
dent of the National Municipal League
and of the New York City Club. Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt, until recently United
States Civil Service Commissioner and
now Police Commissioner in New York,
will be present.
Clinton Rogers Woodruff of this city,
who has devoted much of his time to the
preliminary arrangements for the coming
meeting, said to-day in an interview:
eff widespread newspaper discussion
is an indication of popular interest in a
question, then there must be general and
widespread interest in what pertains to
municipal government. Not only do we
find papers especially devoted to it's con-
sideration coming into the field and maya
zine articles, books ana pamphlets in in
creasing quantities, but the daily and
weekly papers of every city devote valua-
BILE editorials TO the discussion of the
various phases of the municipal problems
and the general movement. This is a
good sign, for in the latter days we do not
find the press devoting any considerable
space to subjects in which their readers
are but little concerned !"

and in the majority of cases secured the
election of mem ers of their party as cleo
torals of the polling places, which is re-
garded as an indication of success at the
polls.
In the Fourth District Premier Crispi
was elected with 920 votes as against 72O
for the Socialist candidate, Felicia, who
was sentenced to eight years in prison in
connection with socialistic disturbances in
Sicily. Signor Bacelli, Minister of Educa-
ton, was elected in the Third District by
1867 votes as against 137 for the Socialist
candidate Signor Crispi has already been
elected from three other places, namely:
Modica, Tricarica and Naples. Votes were
cast for him in many districts where he
was not a candidate. The Minister of Ma
rine, Rear Admiral Morine of Finance,
Signor Bozelli; of War, General Mocenni
and of Posts and Telegraphs, Signor Fer
rari and ex-Minister Brinbiancheri, ex-
President of the Chamber of Deputies, and
several under secretaries are all returned.
The ret urns from sixty-six districts show
the following result: Sixty-one Ministeri-
alists elected, fourteen of constitutional
organization, sixteen Radicals and five
Socialists.

FROM THE WIRE TO TYPE,
The Substitution of the Limo
type Machine for the
Typewriter.
A New Practice That Will Do Away
With Many Operators and
CompoSitors.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 26.-An inter
esting and successful experiment was
made here this morning when the Asso-
ciated Press news was taken direct from
the wire by a type-setting operator.
The introduction of typewriters into the
telegraph business has been a means OF
greatly facilitating the transmission OF the
press service of the Associated Press, and
several newspaper men of this city, con-
nected with the evening Post and the AS
soclated Press, have been experimenting
OF late with view to doing away with
the typewriter and substituting therefor
the linotype machine. thus setting the
news for the paper directly from the wire
This morning loop from one of the As
ISOLATED Press wires was run into the
evening Posts composing-room, and B. G.
Boyle, managing editor of the Post, and
Richard Cogan, chief operator of the As
ISOLATED Press, who are both telegraph and
linotype operators, succeeded in receiv-
ing dispatches OF the Associated Press,
and put them in type directly from the
wire.
The experiment proves that the tele-
graph can be worked successfully with the

FOUGHT WITH FREEBoorERs.
A Battle That May Lead to French
Brastlian ConpLicatiOns.

Brazilian Complications.
PARIS, FRANCE, May 26.-The Governor
OF French Guiana cables to his Govern
ment that as a consequence of Brazilian
free5ooters capturing a French settler
named Trajano, and robbing other French
men on the frontier territory between
French Guiana and Brazil, the Governor
sent dispatch-boat with marines to re-
store order.
M. Lunier, captain of marines, with only
two men, took a flag of truce to demand
the surrender OF Trajano. Cabral. the
leader of the freebooters, treacherously
fired upon NJ. Lunier. A fierce conflict en-
sued, the marines coming to the assistance
of the Frenchmen.
In the two hours fighting Cabral lost
over sixty men killed, including himself
and the French five killed, including
Lunier, and twenty wounded
1t is feared this encounter will lead to
trouble with Brazil, as the scene of the
conflict is in debatable territory between
the two countries.

BASEBALL ON ANGEL ISLAND,
An Exciting Game Between Soldier Bows
and Local Nine.

An Exciting Game Between Soldier Boys
and a Local Nine.
A rather lively game of baseball was
played on Angel Island, which was par
ticipated in by the nine of the United
States barracks at that place and a nine
from Moroscos Opera-house in this CITY.
The local men went over early, and pre-
liminary to the game held an informal
picnic with their opponents George
Roach, the stage carpenter of the theater,
was manager of the affair, and everything
passed off very pleasantly. The soldier
boys, however captured the game with a
score of to 6. The participants were as
follows:
Angel Island nine-Brock, catcher; Cornell.
pitcher; Farmer, first base; Corbott, second

moral courage OF President Cleveland in
the Navy Department in risking defeat at

ROME, May 26.-The elections through
out the country to-day were regarded with
certain amount of apathy by the Repub-
icans. From such reports as have come
to hand, however, the polling has been
fairly active and heavy, the dominant
question, finance, was not one to arouse
any kind of enthusiasm in the public
mind. The attempts to discredit Premier
Crlspi, by connecting him with the Banco
Romano scandals, are not expected to
have had much real influence on the cleo
lions. The Government hopes to secure
800 seats out of 500, of which the Chamber
is composed. The polling ceased at 4
o'clock and the counting began forthwith.

TOPEKA, KANs., May 26.-The rayages
OF chinch bugs in the wheat fields of East
