CONDUCTOR QUIGLEY HURT

Conductor George p. Quisley met
with a painful accident in the yards
last night and he will be unable to
work for several days in consequence.
Mr.. Quigley was getting ready to make
a trip owe the hill with a freight train
and while waiting for one portion OF
the train to back down and couple onto
the ear end Mr.. Quigley raised a lever
so he could thorow the knuckle of the
Johnny drawbar out preparatory to
making a coupling when the knuckle,
weighing over 80 pounds, suddenly fell
and struck Quigley squarely on the left
foot, bruising that member very badly.
The injured mar was taken home in
a hack and made as comfortable as pos
siblc although the injury is very pain
full. So far as known no bones are
broken.-Cheyenne Tribune.

RECIPROCITY.

In his well Ground Grist" the edi-
tor Of the Casper Derrick makes the

Wheatland -four in the state proves
one thing, and that is reciprocity on the
part of the individual citizens OF Wyo-
ming, who are more and more right
along supporting home enterprises, and
in turn being the better supported in
their business. An object lesson is taght
by the Mormon settlers out in Uinta
county, where the settlers have nearly

a wooden mill. and they patronize it to
their utmost. So much so, in fact. that

LILIUOKALANTS ABDICATION.
General HartweII, Who Drafted the
Paper, Says 1t Was Legal.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-SoEle
days ago a formal card was issued by
julius Palmer, Secretary of ex-Queen
Liliuokalani of Hawaii, declaring that
she never had legally abdicated the
throne, and that the abdication signed
by her was irreuglar, given under du-
dess, and void. The paper of aodlca-
ton signed by the eX-Queen was draft
ed by General Alfred S. Hartwell OF
Honolulu, who is now in Washington
on pleasure trip.
General Hartwell, when asked for
statement concerning the eX-Queen
abdication, said that he drafted the
eX-Queens abdication and jurat or 81
legiance to the Republic of Hawaii and
abjuration of the monarch under cir
cumstances which left no chance for
misunderstanding, and that Paul Neu-
mann, her legal adviser, who came TO
Washington in the winter of 1898, hold
ing her power of attorney; Samuel
Parker, her last Prime Minister iii Ha-
wall, and Charles Wilson, the last Mar.
shall under the monarchy, came to his
office the day of her arrest and told
him she had intended to abdicate be-
fore, but had delayed for Mr.. Wildman
to talk it over with her, and they
wanted him to draft the paper.

Captain Heard's Exploit.

The speed of the Baltimore clippers in
days gone by made history rebound
with their exploits. Every boy and girl
has read at some time or place of the
piratical long, low rakish- loking
schooners that cruised the ocean osten-
sibly as privateers. but chiefly as pirates
in those days, and have marvelled more
or less at their astounding adventures. A
good story is told of the late Captain
Augustine Heard. that while in COM
mand of a fine ship richly laden, bound
from China to New York, he was over
hauled by one of this kind, and de-
manded in good English that she
should be hove to. Captain Heard watch
ed favorable opportunity, squared his
yards, ran the privateer down, passed
over her between the masts, and when
well to leeward brought his ship to the
wind and resumed his course. She had
lost some of her head-gear, but sus-
tanned no damage to her hull. Captain
Heard left the long, low, black priva-
teer," or pirate, to her fate, and had
no doubt that all her crew persisted.
1t was a dangerous thing to do, but
Heard relied upon the good timber in his
ships bows to withstand the shock, al
though his heart grew sad at the loss Of
life. Still, as he put it. my honor and
life were at stake, SO he had to go

JAPANESE INVASION IN HAWAII.
l.. A. THURSTON EXPLAINS THE
SITUATION.
Why the Government Recently Re.
fused to Allow Large Number OF
LabOrers to Land.

WASHINGTON, March ID. A.
Thurston. ex-Minister of Hawaii to this
country, now President of the Annexa-
tion Club of Honolulu, and here in the
interests of that organization, gave out
in an interview to-day regarding the
news from San Francisco that the Ha-
waiian Government in refusing to al
low $40 japanese laborers to land in
Honolulu, believed it had unearthed
an attempt to import Japanese into
Hawaii in violation of the immigration
laws. He characterized the subject
as one of the gravest now confronting
the Hawaiian Government. He said:
-Four or five immigration companies
have been formed by leading officials
of Japan including the present Japan
csc Minister at Washington, and they
have the past year been bringing in
large numbers of free Japanese immi-
grants to Hawaii. There are five lines
of steamers between Honolulu and ia
pan, making monthly trips, and every
steamer brings from go to 100 Japan
csc, thus turned loose on the commu-
nifty without any knowledge of govern
mental check. 1t is question Wheth-
er this in-pouring of men, almost UNI
accompanied by women, will not soon
create large class of men unem-
ployed and without means. The Ha-
w7aiian Government adopted measures
to meet such contingencies, but they
have been evaded. Habeas corpus
proceedings were instituted when lot
of men were refused landing recently,
but in the absence of proof Of charges
that money borne by the men did not
actually belong to them, the landing
was allowed. The money produced by
the immigrants is provided by some
third party, which the immigration
companies charge against competit-
tors, but deny as to their own concern.
81 do not know that the japanese
Government does mediate any hostile
or forcible action against Hawaii, but
unless something is done to stop this
influx Of Japanese, they will, by peace
full invasion, accomplish far more than
they could hope to do by force. The
Japanese in Hawaii now number $4,000
against 5000 natives, and at the pres
sent rate will in five years form ma
jority of the inhabitants of the country.
Thus the Japanese would accomplish
the same moral right that the Uitland-
ers are claiming in South Africa.
TT is the belief in Hawaii that the
present extraordinary movement from
Japan to Hawaii is part of a system

WASHINGTON, March 19.-General
Draper of Massachusetts may yet go to
Havana as Consul-General to succeed
General F'itzhugh Lee. He admits that
President Mckinley has solicited him
to accept the appointment, and while
he is adverse to so doing, and has So
expressed himself to the President, ne
does not feel like ignoring the Presl-
dents wishes in the matter. This, it
is said, means that if he is pressed he
will accept.
In the event of his becoming Genera.
Lees successor it is said to be the pur-
pose of the President to allow Minister
Taylor to remain at Madrid for the
time being.
1t is the belief of the Administered ton
that the Cuban question will be solved
in a few months, and after it is settled
an attempt will be made to have the

ed to Embassadorships

is persona gratis to Spain, he may re-
ceive that appointment. If not, the
Minister selected for Russia may be
transferred and General Draper given

Making Custom Come to Him.

In Paris there is a wellknown Paris
ian portrait painter who was not always
the receiver of such handsome honorar-

Time was when he lived in a common

altitude of no less than seven stories.
Necessity is the mother of invention;
but how to induce discriminating pub
lie to climb seven flights of stairs? He
put up placard on the basement of the
house:

francs; studio on the third floor"
When the would-be purchaser had ar
rived at the studio designated, he found
himself confronted by the placard,

been removed to the fifth floor"

LAWRENCE AND LEVINGS.
Judge Morrow Discharges Their Writ
of Habeas Corpus.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19-Judge
Morrow after full argument in the Sem
ate contempt proceedings against A
NJ. Lawrence and L. l.. Levings on ha-
beas corpus, discharged the writ and re-
manded the prisoners to the custody of
the Sheriff of Sacramento County. No
tice of appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States was at once given,
and both Lawrence and Levings were
admitted to bail in the sum of 81 900
pending the prosecution of their appeal.
Assistant Attorney General w. H.
Anderson was present on behalf of the
Senate and Assistant District Attorney
J. Charles. Jones of Sacramento repre-
scented Sheriff Johnson Before Jones
could appear as an attorney in the court
he had to be admitted to practice in
Enerney.
The return to the writ set out such
parts of the Senate proceedings as the
petition to the writ had failed to do,
and in addition the Senates resolution
of commitment and the proceedings
and orders in the Superior Court of Sac
ramento County and of the Supreme
Court.
Assistant Attorney General Anderson
contended that the well-settled rule was
that, where the State courts had decided
the proceedings to be in conformity with
the tSate law, the Federal Courts could
only inquire whether the law itself was
in conflict with the Federal Constitu-
ton. and not as to the regularity of the
proceedings.
Garrett McEnerney argued that the
petitioners We're being deprived Of their
liberty without due process of law, be-
cause they would not surrender a right
guaranteed them by the Federal Consti-
tuition, and therefore the Federal Courts
had jurisdiction to protect them.
Brief speeches were made by Charles
J. Heggerty and j. Charles Jones on
technical matters.
Judge Morrow decided that the rule
applica BILE to the case was that the Fed
eral Courts would not interfere by ha-
beas corpus where the same questions
could be raised by writ of error from the
Supreme Court of the State to that of
the United States.

Writ of Habeas Corpus in the Case
of Lawrence and LevingS.

PHOENIX CA. To, March 19.-The
closing scenes of the Arizona Legisla-
ture last night were marked by disor-
der. Scores of bills remained on the
calendar, and as each member blocked
the attempt of his neighbor that his own
bill be considered, little business was
done Despite this, however, the two
houses during the day and evening sent
thirtyfour bills to the Governor for
signature. Of this number all but
eleven were signed.
Shortly before midnight the House
passed a resolution asking the Governor
to return with his signature bills ex-
empting from taxation for five and ten
years works for mineral reduction,
storage reservoirs and canals and sugar
beet works, and the lands used in the
cultivation of sugar beetS. The Execu-
tive made no reply, whereupon, on mo-
ton of Cowan CD, the House passed,
by vote of 20 to 4, the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
Legislature that the best interests of
the Territory demand an immediate
change in the office of Governor.
In the Council the resolution was
tabled, and in it's stead, by vote Of
to l, adopted a resolution stating that
the Council has implicit confidence in
the ability and integrity Of the present
Governor, the Hon. B. j. Franklin.
The matter has created intense feel
ing among the Democrats of the Terri
tory, and ugly revelations concerning
several of the members of the Legisla-
ture are limited at in the executive
offices.
Governor Franklin said to-day that
he had heard that the bill taxing the

sembly and one of the Council receiving
81 600 each to defeat the measure. He
also charges a member of the Pima
legislative delegation with approaching
one of the administration officers with
a proposition for the payment of $500
should the Governor sign the bill for
the reinstatement of salaries of county
officials, a measure that would take
thousands of dollars from the county
treasures. The bill was passed over
the Governors veto by a majority of
one
Cowan, who moved the resolution of
censure on the Governor, was a bene-
ficiary under the bill, and the Governor
asserts that his veto stands, and he
will fight the proposition in the courts
on that basis.
