San FRANCIsco, Jan. 6-Per steamer China
Honolulu, Dec. 81, 1S94.-The preliminary
examination of the alleged conspirators took
place last week and three of them have been
held for trial without bail.
The main witnesses for the prosecution
were spies in the employ OF the government,
who wormed themselves into the confidence
of the conspirators, and when the proper
time came gave the whole thing away.
According to the witnesses for the govern
ment there was deliberate plot to obtain
possession of the buildings and all the promi-
nent supporters of the republic were to be
surrounded and arrested at their homes by
details of the conspirators. The government
detectives even obtained complete lists of
those who were to be arrested.
Among them were President Dole, his cab
met officers, members of the executives adj
visory councils, newly elected members oi
the legislature, police officials and army off,
GERS.
The conspirators claimed to have some
1000 stands of arms and the support OF the
natives, but the trial developed the fact that
the natives took no stock in the affair. and
that the conspiracy was simply gotten up by
a gang of discontented whites and hall

Police Working with Graphing Irons to
Recover Shoemaker HaTmon's Remains.
The crew of the police steamer Joe Black
burn were engaged for several hours yester-
day in dragging James Greek Canal for the
body OF Maurice Harmon, the shoemaker,
fifty years of age, who IS supposed TO have
walked over board at point between NJ and
streets southwest on New Years night.
There is little doubt in the minds OF the police
now but that Harmon's body lies in the deep
mud of the canal and renewed efforts will be
made to-day to recover the remains.
Harmon was last seen New Years night in
that neighborhood. He had been drinking
to excess and finally went into Reese's saloon
and took his good night drink. After stag
gering out OF the barroom AMI disappearing z
in the darkness, no more was thought OF the
matter until colored man entered Reeses
place aud exclaimed: There's man oyer
board in the canal
Several parties ran to the spot indicated by
the colored man and peering through the
darkness saw an object, which appeared to
be eat in bag struggling on the surface nf
the murky stream. This spot was carefully
dragged with grappiing-hooks yesterday but
without result.
1t is supposed that he stepped off the wall
and is now imbedded in the deep black mire
On the west side of the channel.
At Harmon's home, No. 800 NJ street south
east, the family are much grieyed over the
continued absence of the missing man, VIII O
was known TO have frequented the localit y
where the colored man said he saw him walk

Policemen Bruce and Purks, of the Fourth
| precinct are thoroughly investigating the
matter, and believe Shoemaker Harmon's re-
mains will be brought to the surface of the
canal to-day.

the latter inject the Sunday doses OF toxine
into the patient animals.
The first injection consisted of but eight
drops of tho fluid, the second sixteen, the
third lhirty-two, and so on.
The first injection. 1t is said, caused the
animals to prance abolt rather lively, but
yesterday they behaved in a
DECENT AND ORDERLY MANNER
and seemed to realize that their blood
would be used in the future as one of the
most wonderful curative agencies OF the nine

stalls and well-blanketed to protect them
from the icy January atmosphere and cold

DR.. Sunderland breaches Il Powerful Ser
mon on Text from ST Paul.
A large congregation attended the evening
services at the First Congregational Church
to hear the sermon of the pastor, Rev. Byron
Sunderland who took his subject The two
Effects His text was from Second Corinthi-
ans. ii:16-'sTo the one we owe the SAVIOR of
death unto the death-to the other of life
unto lile''
The terms OF this text Dr. Sunderland
said, 'are momentous. Life, death, SAVIOR
not Saviour, for there is but one Saviour OF
mankind-Jesus Christ. By sayor-that
is. the odor-the aroma OF the Gospel is
meant. the ministrations, the preachings OF
the Gospel. The proposition of the text is
that ali true ministers OF the Word are God S
ambassadors to beseech men to be reconciled
to Him. Let us examine the fact and the ex-
planation. First, the Gospel preached in
plainness has always divided human assem-
bles. Second, the explanation involves the
deepest secrets of existence, possibly prob
lem we will never solve.
What is the meaning OF this earth lie oi
ours ii it is not to shape the destiny OF the
future? What is the meaning OF the cross as
the partition OF these two ways If it is not 10
settle that destiny beyond recall? If it is not
SO, then probation is riddle and existence
one bewildering night.
Do not, I beseech you, mistake the day oi
grace for day of license. Do not join with
| those who because sentence against an evil
work is not executed speedily have thei,
| hearts fully set in them to do evil. There is
| as much power in the Gospel to-day to divide
| the assembly as ever. Its principles, its laws
| its motives, its results are ever the same.

TURKEY AND THE ARNENIANs
Official Denial from the Porte That the

Official Denial from the Porte That the
Latter Are Maltreated.
The following official telegram has been
received at the Turkish legation in this city
dated at ConstantinopIe:
Certain newspapers have maintained
lately that the number OF Armenians in Tur-
key reached many millions. and that they are
badly treated. Both assertions are absolutely
false. According to most reliable statistics
the Armenians living in Turkey are a little
over 500. 900, of whom 200,0 600 are established
in Constantinople itself.
'Those of the Armenians who reside in the
provinces are distributed all oyer the eoun-
try, so that nowhere do they constitute the
majority Of the population. The fact acknowI-
edged even by Turkeys detractors, that the
Ottoman Armenians have schools and liter
ature not only proves that they are not exposed
to vexatious treatment, but that on the con-
trary the Turkish government favors their in
stitutions, wishes them TO preserve their Ian
guage and nationality, and has secured their
Yeil-being"
