HONOLULU, Nov 10 (via San Fran

A large crowd of people, principally
natives, greeted her at the wharf. AS
the Princess walked down the gang
plank the Hawaiians covered her with
flowers She was driven to her home,
where a reception was held last night.
1t is understood that Kaiulani Will
remain here several months.
A. S. Cleghorn, her father, is quoted
as saying that his daughters visit has
no political significance. If it had, 1t
would not be policy for her to admit
the fact, as this young woman is now
receiving a substantial pension from
the Hawaiian Government, enough to
support herself in comfort. If this
Government imagined for a momen'
that Kaiulani was plotting her PEN
sion would be Immediately stopped.
Rumor has it that the Princess is
here to be married. The groom is said
to be George Davies, a son of T. H.
Davies, the guardian of the young wo-
man. George Davies and his father
arrived a few days in advance of the

THE SMUGGLER FIRE.
All Efforts to Locate the Flames
Have Been Abandoned.

DENVER, Nov. IA special to the
Republican from Aspen, COL, says:
While it is generally conceded to-
night that there is but little danger OF
the Smuggler fire spreading beyond the
large Stope where it is now burning,
the indications for a lingering fire may
extend into many months is greater
than since the fire started Sunday
morning. The management are now
confident that the seat of the trouble
is located somewhere between the sew
enth and eighth levels. but just where
they are unable TO say. The cribbing
in this stop between these two levels is
S0x164 feet, and 100 feet thick, filed
solid with waste.
All efforts TO locate the fire have now
been abandoned, and the fight is car
ried on in a general way between the
seventh and eighth levels with water
from above and steam from below.
At 3:30 both the steam and water
were turned off for an examination. To
all appearances no progress had been
made. There is an increase of smoke
in the vapor, which is looked upon as
an Indication that the fire has reached
some of the water soaked timbers, and
is smouldering rather than burning.
The gas issuing from the shaft is not
SO dense.
This afternoon Manager Hallett, Mine
Inspector Fred II. Nye, Master Mechan-
ic Alex Cartens, foreman Carney and
two miners had a miraculous escape
from death while examining the mine.
All but two We're overcome by the gas
while on the eighth level, and We're
with great difficulty saved from death
by SuffocatiOn.

kDYlCES FROM THE ORIENT.
REPORT OF BLACK PLAGUE AT
SHANGHAI UNFOUNDED.
A Formidable Insurrection Has
Broken Out Outside the Great
Wall of China.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. lI-The
steamer City of Rio de Janeiro, which
arrived to-day from Yokohama and
Rongkong, via Honolulu, brought the
following advices:
The report that the black plague had
broken out in Shanghai proves to have
been unfounded. The rumor evidently
originated from the fact that in order
to prevent the introduction OF rinder-
pest, the authorities at Nagasaki care
fully inspected all steamers carrying
cattle. Some over officious person sent
a telegram to Yokohama to the effect
that all steamers from Shanghai We're
being inspected on account OF the black
plague having broken out there, and
this statement was apparently con-
firmed by another telegram soon after
ward to the effect that the Shanghai
Taotai had died, and that panic en-
sued among the residents of Shanghai
To a certain extent this latter state
ment was true, as the death OF the
Taotai did create panic among the
depositors in several Chinese banks,
because the Taotais money was called
in Immediately after his death.
Some two months ago the Shanghai
papers published a sensational story
TO the effect that an 11-year-old boy
had been arrested at Kinkuei for hav-
ing accidentally caused the death of
his father. 1t was reported that the
child had been most inhumanly treated
by the Yamen runners sent to arrest
him. and that he would have to suffer
the consequences of his lamentable ac-
cident hy being sliced to death with the
"Iingchi." or ox-eared knife. The for
eign residents of Shanghai indignant
" protested against this manifest in
justice. but were assured by the bland
officials to whom they appealed that
there was absolutely nothing in the re-
ports. The matter was dropped. but it
now appears from an undeniable source
that tie wretched boy is confined in
prison at 500 Chow awaiting the final
orders for the carrying out Of this bar
baric punishment.
Dispatches recently received at Tien-
tsin announce that a formidable insur-
rection occurred outside the great wall

most prominent in the body, said TINS
evening to an Associated Press repre-
sentative that Mr.. Sovereign, beyond a
doubt, would be candidate for the
nomination for President in 1900. III,
he said, "Mr. Bryan insists on making
a fight for the nomination, Mr.. sovereign
will not oppose him, for the two are
warm friends. In that event Mr. Sow
ereign will become a candidate Tor the
nomination of President. 1t was
natural for Mr. Sovereign to deny the
report as he did not care for the capl-
talists to interfere this early in his can
vass and thus greatly injure him before
the fight was fairly on"

FRANCIS JOSEPH WANTS PEACE

OF HIS GOVERNMENT
Will Tax the Concert of the Pow

Measure of Autonomy.

VIENNA, Nov. 17.-Emperor Francis
Joseph, in receiving the Hungarian
delegation to-day, made a speech in
which he said:
THE situation in the East during
the past year has filled us with many
anxieties, which, thanks to the unani-
nous action of the great Powers, now
happily appear to be removed. 1t will
now tax the concert of the Powers TO
proceed to the settlement of affairs of
state whereby the island of Crete viii
receive a large measure of autonomy.
I'VE now enjoy the best relations
with all the Powers, and our alliance
with Italy and Germany forms, as 1t
has done in the past, an unalterable
basis of our policy. To maintain and
strengthen this basis is the constant
endeavor of my Government, and to the
guarantees of peace hitherto existing
is now added the friendly shaping OF
our relations with Russia" !"
Continuing, the Emperor said: ''The
repeated meetings l have had with the
Car have convinced me of the agree
ment of our views, and have laid ths
foundation for a relation of mutual
trust between our States
After alluding to the satisfaction
caused him by the visit of My friend
and ally, the German Emperor" EN-
peror Francis Joseph concluded: The
safe guarding of the interests of Eu-
ropean peace will continue to be the
chief mission of my Government, and
1 hope we may look to the future with
confidence in this respect
Replying to the speech of Emperor
Francis Joseph, Count julius Szapary,
the newly-elected President of the Hun
garian delegation, referred to the Aus
tro-H Hungarian compromise question,
and emphasized the necessity for the
cooperation of all for the preserva-
ton of achievements of 1867, the year
