DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.
Attempt to Assassinate Governor
Andrew Smith and His Family.

KANSAS CITY Cao.), June 11.-A
special to the Star from Leaven-
worth, Kas., says:
An attempt was made upon the life
of Governor Andrew j. Smith of the
Soldiers Home and his wife and daugh-
ter between and 5 o'clock this morn
ing by some bastard who is as yet un-
known. Dynamite was employed in
the outrage. The explosion, which all
but demolished the Governors beauti-
ful residence, aroused the residents of
the city, and houses rocked as if under
going an earthquake shock. Mrs
Smith had a miraculous escape from
death, the force of the explosion being
directly beneath the bed chamber. Be
side being cut and bruised by broken
glass and pieces of flying bric-a-brac
and furniture, she was completely pros
trated by the frightful shock and is
now in a precarious condition. Gov
ernOr Smith and their daughter, Miss
Daisy, occupied rooms on the second
floor far enough removed from the ex-
plosion to escape the consequence suf-
fered by Mrs Smith.

HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Republican Senators Will Discuss the
Subject in Caucus.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-There was
a decidedly unsettled condition OF at
fairs on the Republican side of the Sen
ate to-day, and it finally ended in a de-
cision TO caucus on the Hawaiian reci-
nrocitv proposition, and perhaps the
antitrust amendment and other tariff
propositions The Republican members
of the Finance Committee tried to agree
upon something concerning Hawaii and
avoid a caucus, but the differences of
opinion prevented it.
The internal revenue tabacco tax also
is still unadjusted and the committee is
not vet agreed, as there is clash be-
tween the New England tobacco grow
ers and those of other parts of the coun-
try on the dutiable rate of wrapper to-
bacco.
The same is true with reference TO
the duty on hides. The advocates of a
higher rate on wool believe that they
will do better in caucus than with the
Finance Committee.
The Hawaiian question was under
consideration by the Finance Committee
last night. but no conclusion was
reached. Senator Perkins of California
was present at the meeting, and sug-
gested an amendment giving notice of
the abrogation of the treaty within a
year. The especial friends of Hawaii an
tagonized this amendment, stating that
they were willing to leave the matter
entirely with the President, going so
far as to insert a recommendation that
the treaty should be revised, but said
they would not make concession in any
other direction.

BROKER CHAPMAN.
Completes His Sentence in the Dis

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Broker Ell
verton r. Chapman spent the final
night of his term in the District Jail
last night. His term expired at mid
night, but according to custom he was
allowed to remain until this morning"
He accepted this final courtesy at the
hands of Warden Woodward, laughing
ly saying he should be sorry to quit the
hospitality he had received by hurry
ing off precipitately. He might, had
he so desired, left in time to take
breakfast at the Arlington, but instead
he breakfasted as usual at the Jail, and
after finishing his meal put in an hour
or more looking over his mail, while
waiting for his friends, who had ar
ranged to come for him with carriage
in the morning.
Chapman left the Jail at about 10
o'clock. His five children were all with
him at the time of the arrival of the
carriage, and with them he drove rap
idly to the city.

THREE-CENT STREET-CAR FARES
The Indiana Law Declared Unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-THE Su-
preme Court of Indiana to-day declared
the three-cent street car fare law is
unconstitutional 1t relates to Indian
apolis only. In the Federal Court re-
Gently the law was declared unconsti-
tutional, and injunctions were granted
by Judge Showalter against its en-
forcement The State will insist on
three-cent fares unless the street car
company secures an injunction pending
appeal to the Federal Supreme Court
In the Hammond cases recently,
where the State Supreme and the Fed
eral Court differed, the Supreme Court
of the United States held that it was
not its policy to enter into conflict with
the Supreme Courts of States. On this
account Attorney-General Ketcham
thinks the three-cent fare will stand,
but that five-cent fares will be collected
until Judge Showalter gives a decision
on Monday

died at his home in this city at s
o'clock tonight. He was taken with
a congestive chill at Latonia last Sat-

to-day against the San Francisco Stock
and Bond Exchange to recover damages
in the sum of $4,000 alleged to have
been sustained on account of a con-

drive him out of business.
This suit is the outcome of the re-

the Stock Exchange adopting resolu-
ton to the effect that no member of
the exchange should do business with
those of a rival board, under penalty
of fine and suspension. Grossmayer
violated this rule, and being unable to

the belief that she had done so. Late
yesterday when it was learned that she
was still at Boston telegram was sent
to Admiral Sicard asking why his de-
parture was delayed. This telegram was
put in the naval cipher, because if any
thing had gone wrong with the ship or
her machinery, it was not desired that
it should be generally known. The
passage of the cipher, however, was
supposed by the officials Of the Depart
ment to have given rise to the story
that the ship had sailed. Now it is
stated that the ship is going to Newport
