land and the congressman for American
intervention in Hawaiian affairs look.
Ing to her restoration to the Hawaiian
throne.
On the ex queens behalf it was said
she was merely on a pleasure trip to
the United States; that she would ex.
END her trip to Europe and that the
trip was taken with the full knowledge
and consent of her government at
Honolulu, which recently granted her
a full pardon for her completely in the
native uprising of one year ago
When the passengers disemharked
from the steamer, the ex-queen went to
the California hotel, where no intima,
ton OF her coming had been received.
She had to wait until apartments could
he prepared for her. She absolutely re-
fused TO discuss her plans and give any
reason for her sudden departure from
Honolulu. 1t is intimatsd, however,
by Colonel McFarlane, the queens
agent here, that she will represent tc
the president that the Hawaiian repub.
lie has been a failure, and that a ma,
jority of the Hawaiian people would
welcome a return to the morarchial
institutions. Lilioukalani has been
under the surveillance Of the Hawaiian
government ever since the last native
uprising. She seems to have taken
advantage of the first opportunity given
by the pardon to leave the islands.

CANADA WANTS HER FREEDOM,


eminent is Spreading.
Montreal, Dec. 14.-The strong I'M.
%dercurrent of sentiment throughout
Canada favorable to a separation from
Great Britain and the establishment of
an independent Canadian republic on
this continent has begun to take tan
gible shape. The organization of in
dependence clubs has been in active
progress during the past five or six
months and q convention has been
called to meet in this city in March
next, with the object of decorating all
groups and clubs of the dominion.
Until then the chief work will be to
group individuals favoring the indie
pendence movement throughout Can
ada; that is, to effect the cooperation
of all those who favor national indie
pendence by pacific means.
The Associated Press correspondent
is informed hat the movement is gain.
ing ground rapidly in the rural dis
tricts, especially in Port Neuf, Drum
mond, CRANKY and the most remote
districts. Two organizers are travel.
ing in the interest of Canadian indie
pendence clubs throughout Canadian
centers in the United States and in
the eastern townships, where the idea
seems to meet with great favor.
An important meeting was held last
night in Montreal. The meeting was
secret, but the Associated Press obtain.
ed a copy Of the bylaws and constitu-
tion which were adopted. The pre-.
amble, which is perhaps the most i'm
portant part of the document, reads as
follows:
This association shall be known as
the Independence Club of Canada, and
shall be composed of all persons desir'
GUS of obtaining political liberty and
the independence of Canada.
"Its objects shall be:
"First-The study of the Canadian
people and of the of the coun
try.
"Second-The encouragement of {
true national spirit amongst the popu
lation.
"Third-To obtain the liberty ant
independence of Canada by legitimat,
and pacific means"

RUSSIA HAS CONTROL.
Mantchuria Coded to the Czar-China's
Treaty Made Public.

London. Dec. 15.-The text of the
Russian Chinese treaty, reproduced
here from the North China Daily
News, has aroused considerable discus
sion on all sides, and it is regarded as
a matter of the greatest Importance.
Some of the newspapers refuse to be-
lieve it authentic, as it would be such
a victory for Russian diplomacy. The
Spectator says today, however, it be-
lieves it to be exact, and ACIDS:
mo forger wouln have tried so
deliberately to protect the pride OF
China. While securing every Russian
object, nothing is coded openly. kus'
STA is permitted to run a railway to
Kiirin, and is expressly authorized to
keep all the troops she pleases to pro-
tect the Mantchurian stations, and she
is also to fortify Port Arthur for China.
"No glass is required to interpret
phrases like these, which completely
invest Russia with military control of
Mantchuria and the Lao Tung PENN
sula." ..
Continuing, the Spectator says 1t
thinks the arrangement threatens
japan more than Great Britain, which
can resist when her commercial rights
are threatened"

MURDERED MO DAUGHTER.


Fla mer.
Oswego, Kan, Dec. l1.-After a
preliminary examination, Rudolph
Bruckman, a wealthy farmer of Usage
township, has been held in the sum of
$40, 600 to answer for the murder of
his 17.year-old daughter Mary. Four
weeks ago Buchanan gave the girl a
terrible beating, because she did not
work to suit him in his cornfield. He
then tied a rope around one of her an
kles, fastened the other end of the o p
to a rear axle of his wagon and drove
to his barn a quarter of a mile off,
dragging the girl behind. Arriving
there, he locked her up in the barn
without sufficient clothing and without
food. The girl was found by her uncle
and another %neighbor, who carried her
away, but her injuries were so serious
that she died on November %.
Bruckman has long been an outcast
among the farmers of Usage township.
His ranch adjoius the notorious Bender
farm, and he was nearest neighbor of
the Bender butchers.
After the horrifying crimes of the
Bender family had become known and
they had fed the country, Bruckman
was visited N night by a mob of
masked men who demanded to know
where the Benders had gone. Bruck-
man insisted that he knew nothing of
the Blenders or their deeds, but he was
strung up to the limb of a tree and
held there until almost dead. Finally,
however, he was cut down and allowed
to 60 his way, but ever since he has
been summed.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Downing, Hopkins & Co.'s ,Review =,
Trade.

Portland, Or, Dec. 15.-The for.
eign news regarding the wheat sit.
uatlon has been uniformly bullisb
during the week past. Seeding in
france and Central Europe has been
stopped by cold weather, and the acre.
age planted will show a decrease com.
pared with last year. The reduction
IN French acreage is estimated at rem
per cent Advices from the Argentine
report crop prospects worse, and esti-
mate their exportable surplus as smaller
than last years. Australian ~eouire.
ments for American wheat during 1897
are estimated at 100, 900 tons, or g..
$50, 900 bushels. The news from In.
Ola is rather more favorable, but the
real scarcity there will not be felt until
next year. The position in America is
even stronger than in Europe. Two
small crops in succession have followed
a large reduction in surplus Yields
from previous crops. The amount @.
wheat still in first hands is estimated
at 65 1900, 900 bushels less than in De.
cember last year. The quality of much
OF the winter wheat remaining is too
poor for milling purposes. The de-
mandf from interior millers for wheat
from centers Of accumulation continues
brisk, and their advices indicate that
supplies of red winter wheat for mill
ing are practically exhausted. The
speculative conditions have changed
considerably during the week. Longs
have been eager to secure profits. The
volume of trade has fallen off materi.
ally and the market has lacked specu-
lative support. The result was a de.
cline to 1890 for May wheat on Thurs
day, which was followed, however, by
a rally on Saturday to so 7-Sc. making
the loss from a week ago a trife more
than one cent. The local sentiment is
bearish, temporarily. and with the APP.
preaching holidays and lack of general
trade values may sink a little lower.
We regard conditions as %warranting
higher values next year. and Oh any
further decline in prices consider wheat
to be a safe and profitable purchase.
During the last week the corn mar
ket ruled weak in tone, prices showing
a decline OF about 20 per bushel.
Liquidation by longs, cold, dry weather
Throughout the West, and a consequent
increase in offerings by country ship
pers all contributed to the heaviness.
In order to effect sales, holders were
obliged to make sacrifices. Sentiment
continues conservatively bearish in
view of the large supplies at points of
accumulation and lack of speculation.
The oats market showed the effect of
liquidation, sales prices declining 1c,
closing with a slight improvement.
This cereal has many friends, as the de-
mand for cash is good, while supplies
are not overburdensome.
Provisions have been fairly active
during the past week on the hog esti.
mates. We are of the opinion that the
consumption of the product will be
large the coming year, and advise pur-
chases of May product on breaks.
Prices are low, the trade selling pro-
duct relatively cheaper than the live
hog; therefore do not believe there is
any profit to be made in selling ON the
low basis Of a 30 hog.

is by Judge Dunbar, all of the judges,
