bill over the Presidents veto, with but one
dissenting vote, and grape wines accord
lngly enter free, while sake has a heavy

The reason alleged for the Presidents
veto was ''the serious hardship to Japan
ese of small means of increasing the cost
OF their accustomed stimulant.''
The President was believed to have been
influenced by strong protests from 1.-THE
Japanese Consul and merchants. He is
naturally anxious to avoid any cause of
collision with Japan, whose attitude to-
ward Hawaii is covertly menacing.
The Legislature has repealed the regis
tratlon act which had been passed two
months before without serious opposition.
On putting it into execution a popular
clamor arose against the thumb-marks as
an lndignity. and against all registration
as belonging to despotism. The natives
were also taught that the measure was
covert means OF compelling them to sup
port the republic and became much agi-
tated. 1t was thought best, therefore, to
repeal the act.

DEATH IN A COLLISION.
Shocking Accident at a Colorado
Railway Water Tank
Station.
One Engineer Killed-The Other, With
the Two Firemen, Seriously
Injured.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CoLo., June o.
The Union Pacific and Denver and Gulf
passenger, which left Denver this after,
noon at 800 o'clock, colllded with stand
ing switch engine at Bierstadt, watering
tank station, twelve miles east of this CITY,
Engineer Michael Shannon of the passen-
ger train was instantly killed and Fireman
Collins and Baggageman Davis seriously,
if not fatally injured. Engineer O'Rourke
and the fireman of the switch engine were
seriously injured by the water tank col
lapsing.
The Denver passenger train was reported
eleven minutes late and as a consequence
Engineer O'Rourke of the switch engine
stopped his engine at the tank and began
taking water. There is heavy curve just
behind the water tank which completely
hides it from the southbound trains. The
accident was caused by either the switch
engine overstaying its time at the tank or
the passenger making up lost time.
The passenger train was running at the
rate of thirty miles an hour. Engineer
Shannon did not see the standing switch
engine until he was almost upon it.
He quickly reversed the engine, but it
was too late to prevent an awful head-on
collision. Shannon was instantly killed,
while his fireman received probably fatal
wounds. Engineer O'Rourke and his fire.
man saw the flying passenger train Just in
time and jumped under the water-tank,
which collapsed from the force of the col
lision. The passenger cars were badly
broken, but fortunately none of the thirty
passengers on board received more than
severe shaking up. The body of Engineer
Shannon was brought to this city. He
lived in Denver and leaves a family. The
injured trainmen were brought to this
city.

able Father and Causes a
Sensation.

BERLIN, GERMANY, June 27-Through-
out the week the Reichstag has made good
progress in its consideration of the Gov
ernment's civil code bill. and the measure,
which passed it's second reading this after
noon, is now certain to pass all of the
stages necessary for it to become a law be-
fore the end of the present session. The
only debates that have attracted even a
partly full house this week have been upon
those clauses of the civil code bill relating
to civil marriage and the property rights
of married women and the game laws.
The bill proposes to make civil marriages
compulsory, and in opposing this provi-
sion DR.. Lieber, the leader of the Centrists.
expressed regret that the committee to
which the bill was referred had not treated
marriage as sacrament to which the
assent of the civil authorities was neces-
sary.
Other Centrist deputies as we'll as Gem
eral Won Roen and several other Conserva-
tives supported the view OF DIR. Lieber,
holding that the civil marriage clause was
derogatory to the Office OF the clergy.
Herr Niberling, Imperial Minister of JUS
tice, denied that the Government had any
u6SlT0 W DldCc d uS1C CIVIL upon
an equalfooting with religious ceremony,
nor did they wish to come into conflict
with the churches; yet for many reasons,
he said, it was desirable that the clause
should be maintained. The clause finally
passed.
The Centrists afterward scored VIC
tory, however, by succeeding in having
eliminated from the bill the provision
making incurable insanity a ground for
divorce. A motion offered by Herr
Bebel, socialist, giving married women
control over their own property, was re-
jected, but another socialist amendment
fixing twenty-one years as the limit of
age. beyond which parental consent to
marry was not required, was adopted.
Prince Bismarck is of opinion that the
civil code ought to have received more
mature consideration, and as a protest
against the hurried manner in which the
bill was handled the ex- x-Chancellor di-
rected Count Herbert Bismarck, his
eldest son, to leave the House when the

first vote upon the measure was taken in
the Reichstag. This direction was obeyed
and Count RerDert's demonstration in
leaving the chamber. followed by ten
Conservative Deputies, created a mo-
mentary sensation.
Prince Hohenlohe's parliamentary din
ner, which was given by the Chancellor
tuesday evening. is still being talked
about as having been sparsely attended in
contrast to the ministerial dinners given
during the period of Prince Bismarck 8
occupancy of the office of Imperial Chan
ceIler, at which the fate of Parliamentary
measures was wont to pe decided. The
presence OF DR.. Stocker, ex-court chap
lain, bearing very lightly his fall from
court and political party favor, was also
noticed and commented upon. Another
subject of comment upon the occasion was
the attendance of Baron Riedel Finance
Minister of the kingdom of Bavaria, who
is associated with project for the CONVEX
sion OF the imperial securities, fact
which Is most remarkable in that the
scheme has hitherto been strongly op-
posed by the Bavarian Government.
Prince Hohenlohe IN conversation at the
dinner expressed his satisfaction at the
prospects of the passage of the civil code
bill, and also at the general condition of
Germany and the pacific aspect of things
abroad.
The Chancellor, however could not be
drawn into any expression of opinion, or
indeed any reference whatever to the re-
ported negotiations on the part of Ger
many with France and England upon the
question of the summoning of an inter-
national monetary conference. Neverthe-
less, it is reported in official circles that
overtures have been made throug b Count
Won Hatzfeldt, German ambassador to
Great Britain, TO induce Lord Salisbury to
send delegates to such convention. The
fact that the Emperor has ordered from
London small collection of books on the
subject of the currency, which it is his
Maiesty's purpose to study during his
coming Nordland tour, has lent color to
the prevailing rumors that the Govern
ment is now making an effort to satisfy
the demand of the bimetaIlists for a
conference.
The decision of the international com.
mission upon agriculture, sitting in France,
requesting the French Government to con-
woke an international monetary confer
ence, has greatly strengthened the hopes
of the German bimetallists that the pres
ent negotiations to that end will be sue.
cessful.
The Emperor will start from Kiel on
July I, on board the imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern, upon voyage in northern Nor
way seas. The yacht will be ACCOMPANIED

will last six weeks. King Oscar of Swe-
den-Norway will meet his Majesty at
Christiania.

Berlin OH July 4, after which they will at

HONOLULU, HAWAII, June 20-A
succession of heavy tidal waves struck
the estern side of the island of Hawaii
on the 18th, doing much damage to prop
erty, but causing no loss of life. The firsr
wave struck Kawaihae at 8:15 A. M, de-
molishing the wharf, and Kailua, thirty
miles south, at $3.50, destroying lumber
yards and flooding the lower floor of Miss
Paris hotel.
After damaging various wharves and
landings on the Kona coast the tides
rounded the south point, striking the Kau
landings at $40 A. NJ, but doing little
damage. Hilo was reached at 10 A. NJ, the
water rising only eight feet and doing no
serious damage.
In bays on the Kona coast the sea came
up to points twenty and thirty feet above
mean tide. The tides continued to come
In all day at half-hour intervals of ebb
and flow.
Although the indications are that these
waves came from the northwest, Honolulu
harbor experienced but slight effect. Our
tide-gauge records fourteen small tidal
waves OF about one foo: in height, lasting
from A. NJ. to 2 P. NJ. of the 18th. At the
OdTIOW uedu OF the narDOr Cler0 was an
alarming succession of deep ebbs and
flows every half hour.
At harbors on the east side of Kauai the
sea ebbed and flowed so as seriously to
molest vessels and boats, and fishpond
walls are reported to have been broken
away at the southwest point of Maui.
No satisfactory theory is advanced as to
the location of the terrestrial convulsion
causing these waves. 1t is supposed to lie
in northwest direction, possibly in Japan.
The Hawaiian Legislature adjourned on
the 18th. The President vetoed the sake
bill which raised to so cents q gallon the
duty upon still wines made of materials
other tt an grapeiuice of under IA per cent
alcoholic strength, and to 81 for all be-
tween IA and 21 per cent. This law was
intended to affect Japanese sake or rice
wine. This is now imported in immense
quantities at very low prices and contains
large amount of poisonous methyIic
alcohol, which is especially injurious to
the native Hawaiians.

letters until we had trouble the next
day. In the morning We started afoot
for Leadville. When within few miles
of that city 1 gave out and could go no
further. Sheldon began swearing at me
and spoke of the letters he had taken
from my pockets.
"He said he had found out that 1 was
detective, and would give him the
worst of it for the crooked cases he had
told me of. He became enraged, and as
he ca me in front of me with a knife, I

BOLD BANK ROBBERY
It Occurred in San Francisco
Tuesday Morning.
MARKET-STREET BANK THE SCENE
The Cashier and BoOk-Keeper Shut In
the VauIt-The Thieves Helped
Themselves.

SAN Francisco, Feb. IS. = Three
masked men entered the Market-street
bank, small institution in the Spreck-
els building, shortly after 10 O'Clock this
morning and ordered Cashier Hopkins
and Book-keeper Hayhurst to throw up
their hands. Hopkins, who was at the
counter, refused, and one robber fred a
bullet past his head, but which struck
neither official.
The three robbers then climed through
hole in the wire screen at the cashier g
window and seized the two bank officials
and hustled them into the vault. A
piece of carpet caught in the door of the
vault, and the robbers did not take time
to fasten the vault door. Hastily dunn p
ing the pile of gold on the cashiers
counter into sack they escaped.
Although Market street was crowded
with passing people the robbers made
good their escape. 1t is supposed they
secured only $500.

pended; every one is dazed at the awful
ness of the disaster.
No warning was given the peaceful
villagers until the sudden report as from
! hundred cannons reseunded through
! out the valley, making the earth trem-
ble. The force of the explosion had
caused cave-in and the tunnel and air
courses were filled with fallen earth and
timbers. Both fan houses were wrecked
and the slope and vicinity were so full
of debris, and the gas so bad that it was
hard and dangerous work to begin the
rescue. Netherless, willing hands were
soon at work and five men went down at
once to ascertain the condition of the
slope and found it such that it will re-
quire much labor to regain the miners.
The gas was so bad that after the party
had gotten 200 feet they were compelled
to recede.
The construction of temporary fan
house was commenced at once and the
work of pumping fresh air into the mine
will soon begin. 1t is hardly possible

The only man who got out of the mine
at the time OF the explosion was Ed
Welch, who was near the mouth of the
tunnel and was blown out. He was
breathing when found, but expired
shortly after.
Forty-eight men were in the mine
when the explosion occurred. As soon
as the news of the explosion reached
Newcastle, Supt. Paul Blount closed the
mines of the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany, and taking in all his miners, left
for the Vulcan mine, where all are ac-
lively at work aiding In the attempt at
rescue.
The cause OF the explosion is not yet
known. The coal fields in which the
Vulcan is located have been troubled
with subterranean fires for years. In
many places over distance of eighty to
100 miles smoke has issued from crevices
in the rocks since the country was first
known to white men and in later years
more. than one valuable coal mine has
been destroyed by fire breaking into the
workings.
