Wednesday evening by representatives of
all the organizations interested. The basis
of the settlement was that all electrical
workers at present employed be subjected
to an examination as to competence, in ac-

Union declares it's readiness to accept into
its union all persons who have satisfactorily
passed such examination, irrespective of

men employed at present by the Electrical
Contractors Association shall, If they wish,
join the union without interference from
their employers or penalties imposed by the
union; that the Electrical Contractors As
ISOLATION agrees to grant the eight-hour

FAIR HEIR.
granddaughter of CALIFORNIA; Late
Bonanza King Discovered.

A FRANCISCO. March 21.-The Ex-
aminer announces the discovery of a grand
daughter of James G.. Fair, who may play
an important part in the litigation over the
late millionaire's estate. The child is about
five years old. She is the daughter OF James
Fair, the ex-Senator's eldest son, and Mary
Ellen Lampman. who, it is asserted, was
probably married to young Fair in 1888.
The child was left at an orphan asylum
and was adopted by Mrs. Charles Gregory.
1t is believed that the knowledge that this
child was in existence impelled the ex-
Senator to insert in his will a clause rela-
tive to the claims of illegioimate or legitf-
mate, but not recognized, children of his
sons.

Missionary Chapman Says Dealt
Awaits Negroes Who Go to Liberia.

CHICAGO, March 21.-The reports of the
sending of negroes to Liberia by the Migra-
ton Society of Alabama and of the colony
of negroes settling in Mexico have aroused
much interest among the colored people of
this city, which may result in an exodus
of q large number. w. C. Chapman, who
was a missionary to Liberia, for several
years, and is now studying medicine in this
city, speaking of the matter, said: Il think
il is a mistake for colored people to go
to Liberia, for it's climate is not fit to live
in. 1t is almost impossible for the white
men to live there and the colored man cam
not fare much better. The country is ex-
ceedingly malarious, and nearly nine-tenths
of those who go there die in a short time
from African fever. They also suffer from
large running sores on the legs. The soil
is very fertile and the country is rich
in fruits, but this is more than counter
balanced by its bad climate. In my opin-
ion the southern part of Africa is a much
better re gion."

session. Secretary Morton also says that
he could recently have purchased from a

THURSTON DEFENDED.
The Minister'S Friends Say He Be-
trayed No Diplomatic Secrets.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Although Mr..
Thurston, the Hawaiian minister, refuses to
discuss the causes that led to his estrange-
ment with Secretary Gresham, his friends
think it only fair to him to refute the pub
lished allegation that he has betrayed Dip
lomatic secrets. Admitting that Mr.. Thurs
ton did as alleged, his friends assert that
he did not exceed his diplomatic duties in
the slightest respect in making public the
sentences imposed on several --awaiian con-
spirators by the military court. The, pro-
c~eedingS of the court were conducted openly
and the sentences of the prisoners had been
publicly announced in Hawaii, and all the
mail steamer from the islands. Mr.. Thurs
toms friends say he never abused official
confidence or betrayed any official COM
munication contained in the correspondence
the government of the Tilted States or any
of his representatives. 1t is admitted that
it would have been a manifest improperly
for him to have divulged any m
received from the Secretary Of State touch
ing the relations between Hawaii and the
United States. At the same time it is
claimed for him that he was perfectly free
to publish any he desired in
regard to events in the Hawaiian republic
that came into his possession entirely in
vided he did not commert on the action OF
the United States government in regard
thereto.
The suggestion is made here that a move
to Hawaiian annexation, and that Mr..
Thurston's intimate knowledge of affairs,
both in this country and Hawaii, will lead
to his having a prominent connection with
any commission on the part of Hawaii to
negotiate for terms OF admission to the
Union.

NOT GUILTY..
Indicted New York Police Officers in
COurt-Missing Records Found.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Ten of the eleven
indicted police officials appeared before
Justice Ingraham in the Court of Oyer and
rmin to-day and pleaded not guilty to
the in dictments returned against them
on Tuesday. The absentee was ex-
wardman James Burns, who is said
to be out of the country. 1t
Is said that the defense will be prepared
by Col. E. c. James, who will have the as
~sistance of Tracy, Boardman G. Plat, A.
J.. Elkins, Emanuel NJ. Friend and Louis
J. Gray.
Lawyer Friend said, after the proceedings
were over, that counsel had never intended
to raise any demurrer. 1--WE do not intend"
he said. ito delay the trials in any way or
raise any demurrers. We are quite willing
to meet the issue. The pleading not guilty
to-day, however, does not debar US from
making a motion to quash the indictments
when trial is called" Colonel Fellows will
conduct the trials in person. He will be as
sisted by ex-Surrogate Rollins and Austin
G. Fox. Assistant District Attorney Lind
say may also be called in to assist Colonel
Fellows.
Some police records which have been miss
ing from the files of the department for
over twelve years, We're returned in a most
unexpected manner to Chief Clerk kipp
to-day. They are a portion of the records
which were wanted by the LeXow COM
mittee and which thai blamed
the department for not having on file. The
missing records were found a few days
ago in the Metropolitan Hotel, on Broad
way, when the place was sold at auction.
With the restored records came a letter
from Horace Russell, who was the attorney
for the board of police at the time of the
Roosevelt Investigation in 1888, and who
explains that the papers having been used
at that time appear TO have been put in the
hotel safe where they were forgotten until
the sale.

Royalists Now Annexationist..

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Late press
advices received here from Hawaii state
that Charles b. Wilson, confidential adj
wiser of the ex-Queen; John Colburn, one
of her ministers at the time she was de-
posed; Antoni Resa, ex-Attorney-general,
and John Richardson, formerly on the
Queens staff-all of them prominent royal
sts-have taken part in forming an annexa-
ton club among the native Hawaiians.
This is regarded as a declaration among
the chief royalists that the monarchy is
dead for all time. At a recent meeting in
Honolulu these prominent royalists took
part in forming a constitution and articles
of belief. These state:
.First-We believe that the republican
form of government has come to stay in
these islands.
"Second-We believe that every person
should assist the government in the carry
ing out of its policy of political annexation
of these islands to the United States"
The third article declares that the pres
ent Dole government secures liberty, Sc
curity, free speech, free press, restriction of
Asiatic emigration and favors cable COM
munication.
The constitution restricts members of the
new organization to natives or those hav-
ing Hawaiian blood, or foreigners who have
married in Hawaii.

A Spanish Opinion.
MADRID, March H.-The Under Secretary
of the Foreign Office in an interview to-
day said that no reply had been given to
United States Minister Taylor regarding the
question of the firing on the American
steamer Alliance, pending the receipt of
official news from Cuba from the Governor
general and from the commander of the
Spanish war ship concerned, presumably the
Condo De Venedito. The Under Secretary
added that he considered the language of
the American press on the subject to be
exaggerated, and thought the commander of
the Spanish war ship was incapable of act
ing rashly. In the opinion of the Under
Secretary the AIlianca was undoubtedly
challenged in Cuban waters and she ought
to have needed the signals of the war ship
instead of running away in a suspicious
manner. In conclusion the Senior recalled
the fact that contraband of war from Amer
lea had been shipped to Cuba during the
former rebellions. He also remarked that
he believed the matter would be amicably
arranged.

Secretary Morton Tells How TO Kill

WASHINGTON, March 21.-In the course
of an interview to-day on the subject of the
Paris green treatment for the coddling
moth, Secretary Morton said: The demand
for apples grown in the United States has
always been in excess of the supply. The
United Kingdom of Great Britain alone,
during the nine months ending September,
1894, paid the orchardists of the United
States s., 5o0,0 co.,. The greatest enemy to our
export apple is the coddling moth. But the
entire crop can be made worthless if the
orchardists of the United States will use
of one pound to 150 gallons of water. Weigh
out sufficient poison for the capacity of the
tank used and make it into a thin paint
with a small quantity of water and add
powdered or quick lime equal to the weight

takes up the free arsenic and removes the
danger of scalding. Strain the mixture into

wash all the poison through the strainer.
