BISHOP WILLIS TALKS.

LONDON, June 17.-Bishop Willis
Hawaii. In an interview he is quoted
as saying that the feeling in the
islands is against the United States
and greatly in favor of British annex
alton, but the Bishop adds, Great
Britain has held aloof, although a
third of the capital of the country IS

thought that if Great Britain would
not take the country, the next best
course was for Japan to reinstate
Queen Liliuokalani.

1t is believed that Mr.. Letter has
been turning a trick on trade in oats.
while everybody was watching wheat.
For weeks tho oat pit has been practi-
oally deserted. Last week there was a
disagreeable surprise to the men who
had sold 100000 bushels Of oats for
December delivery, when they learned
no oats We're being delivered. Then
they awoke TO the fact that in all the
Chicago elevators oats measured but
100000 bushels of the contracting trade.
When the discovery was made the
price of oats was 20as cents. on Friday
the market closed 22Ss cents. \ cent
advance in oats is as good as or
cents In wheat.
1t is too late to rush in n supply to
meet the calls which will be made for
the grain ut the close of business on
Friday. Those who have not delivered
the grain according to contract will, be
called upon to settle at the closing
price. The situation has all the ele-
ments of squeeze.

SevvH PARENTS KILLED.

When He Went Home.
Indiana, Pa, Dec. 2G.-Milton New
and his aged wife were shot to death
by an unknown assassin at their home
near Jacksonville, nine miles southwest
of here, some time during Christmas.
Their bodies We're found at o'clock
that night by their son, Harry, who
was passing the house and stopped TO
pay Christmas call on his parents.
Neal was one of the most prominent
and prosperous farmers In the vicinity
In which he lived. Officers are today
securing the country for the murderer,
but as yet he has not been found.
When young Neal tried to enter his
parents house, he found the doors
locked. He forced his way in through
the cellar, and on entering the sitting
room a horrible sight met him. In a
chair near the window lay the form
of his mother, her face entirely blown
away. At her feet was all that re-
manned of her husband. and a CHASTITY
hole in the side of his head told the
tale of his murder. At his side lay a
double barreled shotgun. the imple-
ment of death. All OF the walls, cell
ings and articles of furniture in the
room We're spattered with blood, and on
the ceiling was a good-sized dent, In
which was imbedded Il piece of the
woman's skull
For time there was a suspicion OF
suicide, but as the facts in the case
developed, the murder theory gained
strength. The woman was killed with
brdshot, the husband with buckshot
There were no marks of powder on his
face, something which. 1t is said. would
have been impossible to avoid had sui
eide been with n shotgun. There IL
nothing to indicate that the crime was
committed for plumber. as In Mr.. Meals
pocket was $40 bill, and $40 lay on th'
top of dresser The friends say the.
have n clue which they will at ono,
begin on to trace down the murderer.
