WHOLESALE SWlkDLlNG
Discovered in the Settlement of the Creek Indian
 claims.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Over $90O0O worth of fraudulent warrants on the United States treasury on account of the Creek Indian Nation in Indian Ter ritory have been discovered by govern ment authorities. The alleged fraud was perpetrated in connection with the payment of the Cresk Indian nation debts and only the barest details have reached here.
 Congress, by a recent enactment, au- thorized the liquidation of indebtedness of the Greeks, amounting to $933.OOO. incurred by the Indians for various pur- poses. The amount appropriated was to be paid out of the United States treas ury and deducted from the large funds of that tribe now in the treasury fo- their benefit The work of paying off was begun months ago, but when the warrants were presented it was found that the amount paid,l instead of $3S3,- 900 as authorized had reached sS52,0O0.
 Special Agent W. H. Beverly of Mis- souri, formerly confidential agent for Secretary Francis, together with Spec al Agent Ross, were immediately dispatch ed to make an investigation of the dis crepancy. MT. Beverly left here Oct. 6. Since then the two have been working on the case, and official advices from them now show that over SEQ, 900 worth of warrants were fraudulent. Supple menting this is the fact that one of the men imDlica ted made a confession today. It was found that many old warrants to which no credit had been paid had received tribal approval and that many new warrants had been issued and paid in the place of old ones on which full payment had already been made.
 The matter promises Io prove a great sensation in the territory. The facts have been reported to the department of justice and the case is now in the hands of the United States district att torney there for prosecution. It IS un~ derstood that Special Agent Beverly is now on the way to Washington to lay the complete facts brought out in his in- vestiglaton befece the interior depart ment authorities.

Baroness Clara de Hirsch is appar- ently as anxious to dispense a large pro- portion of her vast wsalth in establish ing worthy charities as was her late husband, Baron de Hirsch, whose heart and purse were always open to the cliss of distress from his own people. The latest chairbty undertaken by ths Baron- ess de Hirsch Is the establishment of a home for friendleSs wemen at New York City. It is intended that this home shall shelter only those girls and deserted mar ried women who can bring satisfactory references or credentials as to thor ough responsibility. The institution will be called '@rhe Clara de Hirsch Home for Working Girls" and 1t will -hs~ situated on Sixty third street, between Second and Third avenues, New York, immedi- ately In the rear of the Baron de Hirsch Trade School. The building contemplat- ed will not be completed for some time, but temporary quarters have been se- cured and will be properly fitted up and opened to those who are to be benefited by th= generosity of Baroness de Hrsch early in November. A board of man agers, with the usual officers has been appointed. and consists Of prominent and well-known Jewish women. There will be regular resident directress, who will superintend all mat ;ers appeitain,ng to the comfort and well being of the girls and those married women admit ted to the home.
 There will be in the home every mod brary, a roof garden, and every inmate will have her own room for which the small sum of $2 to s3 per week will be asked. Should any of the girls lose h ir business pos. .tions, and consequ n fly tke'r means of support they will be sheltered and cared for free of charge for two weeks if they do not secure other occu- patton earlier. The girls at the home will have opportunities afforded them to be- coule good cooks, ssamstresses, house. keepers and laundresses. While there will be no religious exercises, and other than Jewish girls, will be receiv d at the home, the food will be prepared accord ing to Jewish tenets. Baroness de Hirsch has donated $2oO,oOO for the building fund and $12,O00 annually for the running ex- pcnses.
 The new building will be 50x10O feet, five stories in height, fire-proof, and terra cotta win be chiefly used in its construction. Baroness de Hirseh is practical philanthropist and an active agency in solving some of the most sc- rious social problems Of the day.
 T'he Co-operativs Home for Working Girls, on West Fourteenth street, New York, is another charitable institution, with similar aims and purposes as those contemplated by Baroness de Hirsch in her latest good work.

\ memorial to Congress in the form
of petition signed by the people of
the country, and especially by those Of
this State who are interested in the
beet sugar industry, is being extern
sycly circulated, says a late Chronicle.
This petition is a protest against the
continuance of the Hawaiian treaty of
1875 and against the proposed annex
alton Of the islands. 1t sets forth that
the treaty has been operative against
the revenues of the United States, as
we'll as vitality detrimental to the beet
sugar industry here.
1t appears that under the treaty
during. the years 1S0O-95 inclusive, the
Hawaiian islands admitted free goods
to the value of over $l5,OOO,OOO, show
ing that i'm the interchange of business
between the two countries the islands
enjoyed rs per cent of the total vol
ume, and this is naturally increased
under the augmenting exports of
sugar without a corresponding in
crease in their imports from the
/ United States. This would indicate
that the treaty is only partially re-
ciprocal; that the United States has
been unnecessarily deprived of a vast
amount of customs revenue would APP
pear to be indicated by statistics foot
ing up to over $72 1000 900, lost during
a period of tyenty-one years of COM
merce with the islands. The petition
ers point out that, as the conditions
have entirely changed since 1875, the
| Government should foster an industry
that will make the country self-sup-
plying rather than perpetuate by sub
sidy foreign business largely owned
by foreigners who employ chiefly
Mongolians.
At the present time there is a capac-
| ity here to produce one-half of the Pa
cific Coast demand, and within two
years the entire demand can be sup
piled from factories now in operation
and in course of construction.

TURN ON THE X RAYS.

This is an age Of light. In utter
defiance of the messy old theories
we now photograph the coins inside
of a pocketbook and the bones in
living bodies. Similarly the light
of intelligence shines upon certain
Anticipated notions in medicine. The
intellectual X rays have shown the
fallacy of the idea that sick people
had no alternative but to choke
down mixtures of Cod Liver Oil
or die. The wonderful success of
WampoIe'S Preparation disproves
all that. Here is Il medicine made
from Fresh Livers containing to the
full all the virtues of Cod Liver Oil
the very essence and potency Of
it-without a sign to indicate its
presence. The most sensitive pal
ates fail to detect the nauseous, yet
valuable old drug; yet it is here to
nourish, strengthen, build up and
cure. In Throat and Lung troubles,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Pneumonia and
Blood diseases, it acts as sunlight
and air do on dying vegetation,
Combined in the preparation are the
Extracts of Wild Cherry and Malt aud
other constituents which contribute tn
the noble result. That both physicinns
and sufferers should therefore hail this
article aS worthy OF modern science is no
more than was to he expected. 1t got the
praise because it does the work. Genuine
has trade mark. Sold by all druggists.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

LETTHE CAT OUT,

Notwithstanding the attempts to
explain the result of the late elections
and the efforts to gather crumbs of
comfort for the Republicans and gold
bugs. now and then a paper in sym
pathy with these classes let's the cat
out of the bag and gives expression
to honest convictions. For instance,
the New York Evening Post says:
"There is great danger of disinte
grafton of the forces that Joined in
the election of Mckinley last year.
l fact, they are much disintegrated
already, as the elections of the pres
ent month has proved. If the Bryan
ties hold together and the opposing
forces separate, the result in the year
1900 will be the victory of ''16 to l, !"
unless some more spacious folly, like
unlimited greenbacks, shall supersede
it in the meantime, or unless Coxey
or Sovereign. shall supersede Bryan
in the councils of the Democratic
party. If the Republican party is to
depend on the Dingley tariff for an
issue next year and three years hence,
it's fate in those elections is already
sealed"
The Evening Post is one OF the few
papers that sees the handwriting on
the wall and properly interprets it's
meaning and tells it, differing from
other papers of like faith by the tell
ing. Others see it and know what it
means, but hope to evade the
prophecy by falsely rendering the
signs.
The Post may rest assured that
the Bryanites will hold together,
that they will not fall into the init
mated "follies," and that ''16 to u
will be the slogan that will lead to
victory.
Entirely right is the Post in saying
that ''if the Republican party is to
depend on the Dingley tariff for an
issue next year and three years
hence, its fate in those elections is
already sealed" But, what else will
they have to depend on? 1t is their
creature and they can scarcely afford
to renounce it so early. The inter-
national bimetallism dodge will fool
the people no more, because it has
already proved a fash in the pan.
If they show their servitude TO the
money power by advocating the
single gold standard their fate will be
doubly sealed. No party can win
success in this country if handicapped
by the disastrous policies of excessive
and burdensome tariff and the un-
just and oppressive single gold
standard.
