From the Secretary.

A letter written by Joseph Heleluhe
dated Washington, November Sd, to
some one in Hilo, stated that it is not
true that the ex-Queen Liliuokalani
had been offered an affront by Hawai-
ian young people on a car sometime
ago as reported in San Francisco
daily: but that the Hawaiians showed
due respect to the former Queen of
their native land.

an early age he evinced a love for
music which was fostered by his par
ents-bOth musical and he was given
his first instructions by Miss Cordelia

recuperate. Finding the islands so far
beyond his expectations he has decid-
ed to remain here indefinitely.

Glare of the Flames Seen for Milestone
Fireman Probably Killed.
Hucks' cigar factory and Hall Bros

fiend. and they were quickly followed
by the Duquesne theater, Methodist
Book Concern building, and the Sur
prise Clothing store. The latter was a
five story building. running back q
depth of 200 feet. The fire was the
most magnificent sight seen in Pittsburg
for years. When the Jenkins and Horne
buildings had become enveloped in the
conflagration Penn avenue was one
mass of flames and sheets of fire, while
heavy Columns of smoke were sent 200
feet into the air. The glare of the
flames could be seen for miles, and the
streets for blocks around were brilliant
ly illuminated.
As soon as the fire attacked these
buildings several streams Of water were
turned on them, but the water had no
effect at all. The flames from the burn
ing oil in the Jenkins building rolled out
against the streams, and in five min
utes the two beautiful Horne buildings
were burning briskly. The firemen then
left the Jenkins building to its fate, and
used their united and desperate efforts
to save the Horne buildings All the
streams of water that could be sum-
rroned were turned on these buildings.
but they were soon one mass of fire.
The fire department then turned its
attention to the surrounding buildings.

way in all directions.

Story From West Virginia That Seems T,
Look That way

Weston. W. Va. May 3-This city las
been the scene of the most fiendish out
rage that ever disgraced the history Of
West Virginia and which will probably
result in murder. Some weeks ago two
young women came here from Clarks-
burg and took up their abode in the out
skirts. Their names are Ida Duncan
and Bertha Merriman. In a few days
1t became noised about that they We're
not of good character. The rumors
took on more Objectionable features and
late at night party Of men got to-
gether, secured bucket of tar and pro-
ceeded to the women's home to drive
them out of the city.
They broke open the door, heated the
tar. stripped the women and applied it
with brushes to their bare bodies. The
women screamed for mercy, as the
scalding tar was applied but the twen-
ty masked brutes did not desist until
their victims were covered almost from
head to foot. The tar blistered the
skin almost every place 1t touched and
when charitable persons, attracted by
the women's sorry plight, attempted to
remove it great patches of skin came

cent Spectacle -One Fireman Killed.
Pittsburg. May 3.-The greatest fire
visiting this city since the memora-
BILE one of 1S45 started shortly after mid
night in the large wholesale grocery es-
tablishrnent of Thomas c. Jenkins, on
Penn avenue and Liberty streets, and
at 3 a. m. today was still burning fierce
ly. Three large blocks, extending from
Liberty to Penn avenue and from Fifth
street to Sixth street, have been reduced
to smouldering ruins. The loss will
reach 100000, and is well covered by
insurance. Among the buildings de-
stroyed are Jenkins wholesale grocery
establishment, Horne's six-story dry
goods establishment, Horffe's office
building, the Duquesne theatre and the
Methodist boock concern. The fire
started in the cellar of the Jenkins
waste paper. The flames were discov-
cred by Watchman Hunter while max
ing his rounds on the third floor.
Had Been Smelling the Smoke.
He had smeiled smoke earlier in the
evening, but believe! that it came from
the outside and had paid no attention to
it. The flames had leaped rapidly up
the elevator shaft, and he made vain
effort to eNtinguish the fire with buckets
of water. An air shaft used to ventilate
the great building famed the flames,
and he found it impossible to do any
thing. He made his escape from the
building with great difficulty because
of the immense volume of smoke. The
alarm was turned in about the same
time by Officer Bailey, who noticed
smoke issuing through the window. The
re made rapid headway after it had
started; by 1890 o'clock flames began to
pour out the Penn avenue front.
Both Cities Fight the Flames.
All the fire departments of the city
and Allegheny We're summoned, and
the fireman fought bravely to check the
progress OF the confagration. The fire,
however, attacked the immense quanti-
ty of barreled oil, sugar, molasses and
flour that this building contained, and
by 12:4o o'clock the Penn avenue and
Liberty avenue fronts were one mass
OF flames. The-fire ate its way sorapidly
that the firemen narrowly escaped fall
ingdebris. The splendid building Of Joseph
Horne & Co.. opposite, caught, and the
firemen worked desperately to prevent
its loss. At o'clock the Horne building
was burning from cellar to roof and the
flames had communicated to Horne's
large office building adjoining. The
structure was of stone. and also six
stories in height. 1t was occupied by
w. T. Grier & Co., China dealers; Bon
Marche Glove company; Snamen's car
pet house, and scores of physicians.

New York. May 3.-AWashington spe-
cial to The Tribune says that Assistant
Secretary Of War Joseph B. Doe, Of
Janesville. Wis, was practically dis
missed by Secretary Lamont. The
Tribune says: Does resignation was
accepted at once, and his desk was
vacant until Mr.. Meikeljohn, Of Ne
braska, was appointed. This was due
to a hint from Colonel Lamont, who
had practically made a vacancy in the
office several months before. As early
as he was able to find the time, Secre-
tary Alger began an investigation of
the official conduct Of Mr.. Doe, but soon
discovered that Secretary Lamont had
anticipated him, and the only result of
his Inquiries was the dismissal Of Rich
ard ]. Whitton, also from Janesyille.
who was brought to Washington by Doe
and served as his private secretary for
two years or more.
About a year ago Assistant Secre.
tary Doe began to issue orders to the
division OF supplies and other branches
OF the department that caused consider
able gossip among the clerks, and to
make acquisitions for articles for his
personal use which had not before been
purchased from the public fund. He
continued to do so during the frequent
absences Of Secretary Lamont, until aft
er the election in November, when that
sort Of business became so active as to
attract general attention, and within a
few weeks the gossip reached the ears
Of the head Of the department.
Secretary Lamont at once made an
f,,--
clerks in the supply division, the store
keeper and other officials of the depart
ment. and secured statements from them
which caused him to require Doe and
Whitton to make restitution to the
amount of nearly $1,000 In cash, and to
surrender to the department a consider
able amount Of property which, in Mr..
Lamont's opinion, belonged to the de-
partment."

NO BAND CONCERTS
This Summer if Proposed Sunday Or.

Must Break Up.

An ordinance prepared by the Min

tion of the Sabbath was introduced at
the council meeting last night and re-
ferred without comment to the commit
tee on ways and means.
The ordinance applies to football, base
ball, hypnotic, dramatic, theatrical or
other entertainments. The penalty for
violating the ordinance is fixed at s1Oo.
The ordinace also applies to the own
ers of opera houses or public grounds
who permit any entertainments to be
given on Sunday in their building or
the grounds. In the case of owners the
fine is made not more than 5000
The ordinance as framed would pro-
hibit the giving of band concerts on
Sunday in Garfield park by John Mar
shalls band, and the question has
aroused several citizens who enjoy the
music in the woods of Garfield park on
Sunday afternoon. BandmaSter John
Marshall deplores the proposed action.
To a reporter today he said:
IF they pass that ordinance it SIM
ply means that we will have to hang up
the fiddle. We depend largely for our
support on the Sunday afternoon con-
certs. We can't keep our organization
together if we can't have those concerts.
It will knock US out if they pass it I
think 1 can safely say that most of the
best citizens and people of Topeka at
tend our Sunday afternoon concerts"

FIGHTING Renewed.
1t Began in the Darkness in
Crete and Still Continues.

Canea, March, 9-1O:25 a. m.-The
Gordon of Turkish troops drawn around
Akrotieri is now being reattacked by
the insurgents. Severe fighting is pro-
ceeding.
The fighting between the insurgents
and the Turks commenced at o'clock
this morning and continued all along
the line. Communication by road with
Suda bay is cut off. A Turkish trans
port with civil officials and troops has
arrived here with smallpox on board
Canea, March e.-Advices received
here from Hierapetra say that owing
to the refusal of the Mussulmans to
surrender the fort there, the insurgents
attacked it, whereupon the Italian
cruiser shelled the insurgents
London, March 9.-It was stated this
afternoon in official circles that the
renewal of fighting between the insur-
gents and Turks in the Island of Crete
will have the effect of making the
powers Immediately take action in ex-
pelling the Greeks from that island and
landing foreign troops.
London, March 9.-Business on the
stock exchange this morning was dull
with prices dropping. Others were wait
ing developments in the Cretan ques-
ton. The general impression in cOmpe-
tent quarters is that the powers will
not accept the proposals of Greece and
that they will carry out their threat of
cCercing Greece if necessary.
Athens, March 9.-There is intense an
xiety here relative to the action the
powers will decide to adopt in the face
of the reply of the Greek government to
their demands for evacuation of Crete
by the Greek troops and the withdraw
al of the Greek fleet from Cretan wa
terS, Greece being willing to give in as
to fleet but holding that her troops
should be allowed TO remain and be
used by the powers to restore order. In
any case it is not belived here that the
proposed blockade of the Greek coasts
will begin before the end of the week.
