No Hawaiian Advises Regarding
Minister Thurston's Case.
MARTIAL Law HASBEEN DECLARED OFF
Disposition of the Former Queen
Subject Of Speculation.
TO BE KEPT WHERE SHE IS

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-The steam
ship Australia arrived today from Homo
lulu. The latest Hawaiian advices contain
no reference to the demand made by Sec
rotary Gresham for the recall of Minister
Thurston, and 1t is evident that no knowl-
edge OF this latest diplomatic incident has
reached the Hawaiian people. Whether the
Hawaiian government has any knowledge
of the state of affairs at Washington is
simply a matter of conjecture.
The following is from the special CORES
pondent of the Associated Press at Hon
olulu:
HONOLULU, March 20-Martial law was
declared off March 49, The military COM
mission has been adjourned and the larger
part of the 100 prisoners brought before
this body are now working out their SEN
fences in quarries or en- roads.
Interest the past few days has centered
principally in the decision Of the advisory
council, which has been passing laws bear
ing directly upon the recent rebellion.
The question Of the disposition of ex-
Queen Liliuokalani is causing rumors, but
the government officials state nothing has
been done or suggested other than is al
ready in force. Attorney General Smith, on
being asked what disposition was to be
made of the ex-Queen, said:
She's already disposed of. No advances
have been made to the government on her
part. She will be kept where she is"

WOMEN TRUSTEES.

1t is Believed the Commissioners VIII
Soon Act.
It Is understood that before the close Of
this week the District Commissioners will
wrestle with the woman school trustee
problem, and perhaps reach a conclusion
as to who shall be appointed and what
shall be the scope Of their duties. As to
the latter there will probably be no differ
ence Of opinion, for it is generally believed
to be only desirable <and right that the
women trustees should stand precisely on
the same Official plane as the men who now
comprise the board. This means, though.
that some Of the trustees viii be relieved
of the care of schools not In division to
which they have been assigned. For In
stance, four members Of the board care for
all of one division and for half of another,
SO it will be easy to take these four sep
arated halves and make two whole dfvf-
sions out Of them-one for each of the new
trustees. It was believed for awhile that
the women trustees might not care to take
charge Of specific divisions, but would
would be good all over the District of Co
lumbia, but those who are interested in the
welfare of the public schools seem inclined
to the belief that such a proposition II
practically applied would result in con-
fusion and perhaps even in strife. It may,
therefore, be regarded as about settled that
the women whose names may be announced
either Saturday or Monday will be as
signed to divisions Just as other members
of the board have been. and win possess
every privilege common to local sch DOL
trustees. A number Of applications have
been received, and 1t may be that one or
more of the applicants win be fortunate
enough to be honored by appointment, but
some of the little birds that betray secrets
even at the District building are of the
opinion that the selection will be made not
from the applicants, but from among the
multitude that made no application at all.

NO PLEURo-PNEUMoNIA THERE.
Results of an Investigation Made IL
Kansas.


Results of an Investigation Made In
Kansas.
As soon as the Department of Agricul-
ture was advised by Gov. Morrill, Of Kan
sas of an alleged outbreak of contagious
pleuro-pneumonia in that state, Secretary
Morton detailed Travelling Inspector w. s.
Devoe of the bureau of animal industry to
proceed at once to Kansas and ascertain
all of the facts, and his report states pos
itively that there is no pleuro pneumonia
In Kansas, and that the suspected animals
are free from the disease. Under Mr.. De-
woes immediate supervision pleuro-pneu-
monia was eradicated from Pennsylvania,
New York and New Jersey. A thorough
Investigation was, made by him in Kansas.
His dispatches to Secretary Morton state
most positively that there was nothing in
the history of the animals. nothing in their
mortem examination. either by the local
veterinarians or by, the department in
spector, which indicated even remotely
that they were affected with contagious
pleuro-pneumonia al
| The officials at the Agricultural Depart
ment have maintained from the first that
it was impossible for the disease in aues-
ton to break out in Kansas, because the
contagion had never existed in that section
Of the country, and there have been no re-
cent importationS of cattle by which 1t
could have been carried there.
The dispatches sent from Kansas alleging
pleuro- pneumonia were, the department Of
ficials say. the result OF scare. which oc-
Cured because the state veterinarian was
unable to determine the nature of some
disease in cattle that was caused by local
conditions.

FOUND DROWNED.
The Body of nm Oyster Boat Captain
In the River.

The Body of nm Oynter Boat Captain
In the River.
The body of Captain Bunny Ellis of the
sloop Horn. Point was found floating in the
river of Rileys wharf early this morning.
The body was removed to the morgue and
will be forwarded to the family of the de-
ceased in st. Mary's county, Md. Day was
just breaking when the early risers among
the oystermen and fishermen at the wharf
deserted dark object rising and falling
with the waves. 1t had a suspicious ap-
pearance even in the dim light Of the new
day, and score Of the watermen hung
over the wharf and peered at the curious
thing. OF course, everybody suggested that
1t was human body, but then everybody
also thought that 1t might be only a log
or a dog or something. boat was pulled
out and the man who reached over the side
of the little craft and took hold of the
mysterious thing drew in his hand with
horror. as he announced the nature Of his
find. rope was fastened around the body
and 1t was lifted to the wharf. The body
was barefooted. 1t was still too dark to
clearly see the blue, pinched face. and Ian
terms were brought, and as their red rays
fell on the features of the corpse dozen
of them said, Bunny Ellis" Everybody
around the dock and in the oyster trade
hereabouts knew him in life. His craft,
the Horn Point, was moored alongside the
dock, and it's master had fallen overheard
during the night. The drowning must have
occurred at a very late hour. as the body
showed that the man had died violently.
and no CHASTITY sounds were heard by the
late watchers at the wharf. The body was
devoid Of coat, shoes or socks, showing
that Captain Ellis had turned in for the
night and had arisen for some reason and
gone over the side of the Horn Point. His
friends at the river believe that he must
have been stricken with vertigo or fit.
though it is said that he was not known to
be subject to either. 1t is also said that
he was not drinking man and was never
under the influence of alcohol. There were
no marks of foul play and this is not
thought of around the river. as he was
without enemies, and was believed not to
have any considerable funds. The Horn
Point came up on Sunday and very little of
her cargo Of oysters had been sold. There
fore, he had no money. The patrol was
called and the remains taken to the
morgue. Captain Jimmie Chiseltine of the
schooner Douglass. now in port, is kins-
man Of the drowned man. and he took
charge Of the remains. They will be
shipped by the next steamer down river
to his late home In southern Maryland,
where he leaves q wife and five children.
He was about forty-flve years old.

SENT TO PERU.

Interests.

n
Interests.
Orders have been sent from the Navy
Department to Mare Island, Cal. to have
the U. s. coast defense ship Monterey
proceed to Peru. The country has been in
the thre es of revolution for many months
and 1t has been felt desirable to have a
United States warship at Callao to look
after American interests in case they are
endangered. 1t was intended to send the
U. S. Ranger to that point when she
started some time ago from Mare Island
on cruise to the southwark. but when
she reached Buenaventura, Colombia, the
situation in that country was found to be
SO precarious, as a revolution was also In
progress there, that it was deemed neces-
sary to detain the ship at that point: The
Monterey has been engaged for months
past in testing the Pacific coast coal for
naval use. She is a coast defense ship
of the monitor type, and while good sea
boat is not regarded as well fitted for
cruising purposes. mainly from the lack
of sufficient storage room for coal. Her
quarters will also be rather uncomfortable

A Bold Burglar.

Yesterday morning about 2:3O o'clock
burglars visited the home of Mr.. 8. w.
Woodward Of the firm Of Woodward & Lo-
throp, No. 2O15 Wyoming avenue, Kalo-
rama Heights. and carried off handsome
gold watch. The burglary was a daring
one. and the police have not succeeded in
capturing the PERI etrators of it The house
was entered by means of a ladder placed
at the window Of the sleeping room. A
member Of the family was aroused by the
noise in the room, and the Intruder lost no
time getting out Of the window.
The ladder used was left in the yard. It
is of light material and has spots of red
paint on 1t, as If 1t had been used by a
painter.
Sergt. Slattery arrested man on sus-
picion, and paint stains were found on his
coat. but as there was no way of connect
ing him with the robbery he was released.

Rumored Complications in the Coal
Situation.
HEAVY SELLING OF JERSEY CENTRAL
Fractional Concessions in Many of
the Active Issues.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 27-The reactionary
CT hating tendency of speculation noted
yesterday was further augmented this
morning by rumors Of complications IN
the coal situation, resulting in a pro-
nounced weakness in the securities directly
involved, and in sympathetic concessions
in neighboring groups.
New Jersey Central, the leader of the re-
cent advance. was equally conspicuous in
the n, treat, decline of 81 per cent fol-
lowing liberal and continuous selling dur
ing the forenoon.
Reading was active at a decline of IL
per cent, and Delaware and Hudson, on
NC derate transactions, conceded IL per
cent from the initial estimate Of its value.
The effect Of this movement in the coal
stocks was reflected in the general market
by somewhat restricted volume of BUSH
ress. rather than by any marked DISPOSE
ton to participate In similar movement
Fractional concessions were noted in
many of the active issues, but no signifl-
canoe was attached to them. The street
Is somewhat skeptical ON the advisable
fty OF forcing further advances on the
meager supply Of material available for
that purpose. Railroad earnings are not
satisfactory and tonnage shows such o
falling Off in certain important sections
professional element.
Sentiment however. is disposed to favor
the long side Of the market. even though
figures are lacking in support Of such q
position. Sentiment frequently usurps the
place of facts. but its triumphs are, az O
rule, but transitory.
A shading off in values might attract
some good outside demand for stocks. and
in this hope those having the best interests
of the market at heart are willing to aid q
moderate reaction.
New England was strong on purchases

to which attention has been previously d.
tive behind the pools operations is OBJ

The Changers were steady on moderate
dealings. and elsewhere limited volume
of business prevented any important
changes from. yesterdays figures.
The industrial group. contrary to custom.
was Influenced In manner almost iden-
teal with that of the railroad list. General
Electric was the feature Of this group, SELL
ing up L per cent on early trading, but
subsequently yielding to a preponderance

Chicago Gas directors have been notified
Of a meeting to be held April to consider
the payment of dividends. 1t Is believed
that some change in the present policy Of
the company win be made, but no reliable
Information on the subject can be had.
Sugar and Distillers attracted little atten-
ton but were steady within fractional
limits of first prices.
The trading of the last hour was active
and in the main inclined toward weakness.
General Electric and the Changers were
sold down by traders to the lowest points
of the day. Final figures were Irregular,

AUGUSTA. Ca. March GA special to
the Herald from Bath. s. c., tells of trou-
BILE between whites and blacks at the site
of the new mill of the Aiken Manufactur-
ing Company.
The town was aroused late last night
by the report of firearms, and investiga-
ton revealed the fact that a party of
white men had begun firing on the ne
groes assembled to do the work on the
mill building. The negroes were notified
by the white men to leave town in fifteen
minutes. They refused to obey the order
and the shooting commenced.
1t is claimed that the shots were fired
in the air and were intended to Brighten
and not to kill. The object was, of course,
to run the negroes off and give the whites
chance to do the work 1t is said that
one negro was struck in the leg. The
negroes fed to the swamps, where they
remained all night They returned to
town this morning. however. and are at
work today. All is quiet for the present.

seyres, was convicted of murder In the
second degree. on the charge of having
killed her husband. When the verdict was
delivered, Mrs. Penseyres rose and cursed
the jury, predicting that they would all
come to some bad end. Since then two Of
the jury have gone insane, and a third has
been added to the list. The latest Is John

Ger to have a drink with him. Koehler

Oscar looking to settlement of the dead
lock between Norway and Sweden will
shortly be submitted to the rigsdag and to

enjoying equal privileges.
The minister for foreign affairs Is to be
either a Norwegian or Swede, and Is to
be responsible to a joint delegation COM
posed of members of the rigsdag and Of
the storthing.
