found that the Legislative enactment

Intentionally repealed the acts creating
the Sixth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Seven

The attention of Attorney-General
Boyle was called to this enactment
this morning and he holds that the
title of the bill is so much at variance
with the body of the statute and with
the real intent and purpose of the leg
islature that the repeating act is of no
effect and void and would so be con-
strued by the courts should the ques-
ton be raised.

DEATH FOR MUTINEERs.


SAN Francisco, June II. According
TO steamship advices from the Orient,
the German officers engaged in drilling
the Chinese troops at Woo Sung China,
have had to extend their tuition to the
point of teaching their charges
the effects of NUT ny, Recently
1t was decided to discharge about
one-half of the native-drilled troops,
who were in four camps of 800 each,
and replace them by a corresponding
number of foreign-drlled men from
the forts. The discharged soldiers
were given three months, extra pay,
but they clamored for seven months
and May 7 broke into open mutiny,
looting the officers quarters, pulling
down the houses and threatening to
shoot the general in command.
The principal ringleader was seized,
tried by drum-head court-martial and
summarily decapitated. 1t is stated
that not a single Chinese official was
present, all having fled. Throughout
the night Of the sth the camp and maya
zine were guarded, and on the morn
ing of the 9th three more OF the ring
leaders were beheaded.

LONDON, June 2l.-lt will readily be
understood that the political conse.
quences of the sad physical infrmty
which has befallen the queen cannot
fail to be highly important to Great
Britain, and the statement which fol-
lows, although not official, is furnished
in response to inquiries by person who
enjoys the confidence of the royal fam
lily and who speaks in this matter with
full knowledge: "rhe question OF the
queens early abdication is being dis
cussed in the highest circles. Her
majesty is stated to be seriously con-
sidering the important step of resign
ing the throne in favor of the prince OF
Wales soon after the jubilee. Her
majesty finds the duties Of her position
daily becoming more difficult to fill,
and she breads the responsibilities OF
next week very much. although she is
unwilling to disappoint her subjects
in the least"

sberman,s Views About Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, June 19-In view of
the fact that false and misleading
statements have been sent out from
Washington as to Secretary sherman's
position on the question of the annex
alton of Hawaii, the secretary to-day
said to the Associated press that, as a
rule he was opposed to the United
States acquiring outlying territory,
but he regarded the condition of the
Hawaiian islands as exceptional on ac-
count of the claim of Japan to these
islands. He therefore approved the
treaty making Hawaii a possession OF
the United States, but not entitled to
admission as a state.

STRANGE STORY FROM WICHITA
A Ball Of Fire shoots Across the Sky
Lighting Up the Whole City.

WICHITA, Kan, June 2l.-With a
flash that lighted up the city and made
the bravest quake at what seemed
supernatural, a ball of white fire shot
across the sky here last night The
apparation came at 1880, flashed from
the southeast to northwest and lasted
about IL minutes. 1t seemed to
be about the size and shape OF
barrel, and bright, stiff blazes
fared out from the sides and
followed it. The streets became
light as day. In the northwest the
thing burned to bright coal and
dropped on down to the horizon, after
which was heard a sharp, heavy report
that rumbled like low, distant thunder
for fully minute. George Daisy, who
way driving two miles north west of
town, was severely shocked and his
horse knocked to the ground

"More than ever hate the pomp and

In the fading lines Of n wartime
newspaper appear these words of tine
late Charles Carleton Coffin. They
were written on the battlefield of Ante

MS glory, but with death and destruc-
ton on every side. He also saw war as
horror, through the flame and fury Of
the conflict. There are necessary wars
An unnecessary war is butchery or muir

THE CURRENCY COMMISSION.
The President Advised That 1t Would BE
Useless to Present This Question This Ses-


sion.
CHICAGO, June ia special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
1t appears to be well settled that no
effort will be made by the president to
secure authority for the appointment
of currency commission at this SEES
sion of congress. Until within week
or so the president had believed such
a measure might be passed in the clos
ing days of congress- while the two
houses were in conference on the
tariff bill. But the president is
now advised by the republican leaders
in the senate that 1t would be useless
to present this question. The silver
senators, it is said, have decided to OPP
pose any such measure, and they could
easily bring about considerable delay.
Unless some change comes in the situ-
alton the president will be compelled,
reluctantly, to permit this important
matter to 90 over to next winter.
