THE CELLAR WAS INSECURE
And the Amateur Bonded Warehouse
Is Empty
Prohibition Laws In Kansas and nlssouri Are
appreciated by Hen Who Carry
Cellar Door Keys

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. "a special to
Journal from Topeka, Kas., says:
For years all the whisky, beer and other
liquors captured from Topeka bootleggers
and joint-keepers has been stored away in
a cellar beneath the courthouse. Wagon
load after wagon-load of good liquor has
been slowed away in that cellar and it has
always been the belief that it contained a
larger stock than any bonded warehouse
this side of Kentucky.
Yesterday Bob kepley. the new sheriff
of Shawnee county, concluded to take an
inventory OF the stock on hand. What was
his astonshment to find that every barrel,
bottle and keg was empty, with the eXcep-
ton of some bottles of "whte horse, y
which the robbers appeared to be too fas.
tidious to desire. Where the stuff has gone
to is mystery. 1t is said that but one key
exists to the cellar door and it has always
remained in the possession of the sheriff.
The retiring sheriff. David Bulge. says he
has no idea where the stuff has gone and
is sure none of the officials about the court
house had anything to do with the disap-
pearance of the stuff.
TOPEKA Kas., Feb. 9.-Four policemen
were peremptorily discharged from the
Topeka force last night for stealing beer
wore W. G. Hobson, j. q. Johnson, George
Matthews and John Haisch. Durein is a
citizen who buys his beer by the barrel and
keeps it in cellar under store on Kan
sas avenue. According to the story of the
police, Durein had been careless about
locking the cellar after night and whenever
one of the finest found the door open he
summoned his friends on the force and
each carried off a few bottles to the sta
ton house. where the beverage was con-
sumed. They were finally caught in the
act and confessed the whole story.

IN THE ISLAND REPUBLIC
Hawaiis National Holiday Celebration
on January II
United States, English, French ami Japanes,
Diplomats Decline Invitation to Par
ticipate-Th. Asiatc Question

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9-The steamer
Australia arrived today from Honolulu,
bringing the following advices to the Asso-
ciated Press:
HONOLULU, Feb. 1.-The II tn of January
having been declared national holiday
by the republic, invitations to take part
were sent in the usual way to the diplo-
matte and consular corps. Favorable re.
plies were received from all but the repre-.
sentatives of the United States, England,
Japan and France. OF these representa-
tives the three last stated in their replies
to this government that as their govern
nents mad never recognized the provisional
government, and as the holiday was given
in celebration of the formation of that gov
ernment, they did not feel it incumbent
upon them to participate in any way. Mr..
Willis replied, stating that he would lay
the matter bsfore Secretary Olney.
Minister Cooper denies the statements
published in the San Francisco papers re-
garding his visit to Hawaii. His trip to
Hilo was simply in conformity with the
policy of the government. There was no.
people in the big island to call for a visit of
any member of the government to Hlo
The legislature will meet on the 18th
instant. Under an article of the constitu-
ton the legislature cannot sit more than
sixty days except by special extension by
the president, and then not for more than
thirty days additional.
Many important questions will be con-
sdered, the Asiatic question for one.
Chinese and Japanese were originally
brought here to work on plantations, but at
the expiration of their contracts, many of
them drifted into Honolulu and engaged in
pursuits directly in competition with the
white mechanics and merchants. This
competition is commencing to be felt very
keenly by the white men in this country.
The American sealing schooner Willard
Ainsworth, Crockett, master, bound from
Seattle to Yokohama, put in here on the
30th ult., in distress. She ran into a storm
on the 2Sth while off the island of Molokai
and carried away her topmast and head
mast. The U. s. S. Boston arrived on the
30th ult., sixteen days from San francisco.
She will remain here ten days and then
leave for the China station.

ing prints Henry J. c. Gusts explanation
of his dismissal from the position of editor
of the Pail Mall Gazette in the form of cor
respondence between him and w. w.

Mr.. Astor's instructions.
Mr.. Astor wrote to Mr.. Gust on Feb
ruary 8, as follows:
1--WE are suddenly confronted with a
dangerous controversy between England
and the United States, in which 1 am
deeply interested. / cannot longer be re-
sponsible for paper over which exercise
but n nominal control. l therefore regret
that am constrained TO ask you to resign.
l sincerely regret the precipitancy of this
action, which is due to the political situa-
tion.'

Strait, who has been made editor of the
Gazette, is but temporary appointment,
as Mr.. Astor intends to secure an Amerl-
can editor for the paper.

may have been dead before they got her

Miss Hollingsworth will probably be

Later tonight Miss Hollingsworth told
the police all she knew. She said she
bought for Pearl Bryan three kinds of
drugs here and instructed her to buy an
other drug after she reached Cincinnati,
but to be careful of it as it was deadly
poison and would kill her if not used COR
rectly.
Miss Hollingsworth says Pearl Bryan
then said to her:
II will go to Cincinnati and take the
stuff and if it kills me will be near jack
son and he will have to swing for it,"
Miss Hollingsworth further says Pearl
was very bitter toward jackson, who was
responsible for her condition.

LONDON. Feb. lO.-The Times has an ar
ticle this morning on the plans of Cecil
Rhodes in South Africa, of which it says:
THE first chapter in the scene is the
creation under British administration of
another British Johannesburg In Rhodesia.
"Mr Rhodes belipves that the mineral
wealth in Rhodesia justifies a reasonable
hope that within five years the population
of Rhodesia will exceed that of the Uit-
lander population of the Transvaal. In
addition to splendid climatic advantages,
experts believe that the plateaus of
Mashonaland and Matabele contain min
eral. 1t is also understood that Mr..
Rhodes project includes an intention to
lead the way by putting the bulk of his
own large fortune into the local enter
prises, and to encourage the cultivation of
coffee, tea, wool and spices and possibly
cotton"
The Times says in an editorial on Mr..
Rhodes plan:
The foregoing grand scheme rests
wholly upon the condition that gold can be
found. Ii ii fails the scheme must fail
too.'
The daily News publishes an article by a
person who knows Mr.. Rhodes views and
who says he has abandoned the plan of
addressing the meeting of the sharehold-
ers of the chartered South African Com
papy because it is undesirable to prejudice
the trials arising out of the Jameson raid.
The writer says Rhodes may possibly re-
turn to London in time for the trial.

discussed Edwards county case. wherein it
was sought to take Arnold and Harvey, the
murderers of Mayor Marsh of kinsley,
from the pententiary and execute them
without the warrant, which the governor
refused to issue. The opinion of the court
is positive that there is no way of carrying
out sentence of death without the war;
