MORE STEAMERS COMING
THE CRAMPS NEW pOLYNESIAN
LINE.
Trans-pacifc Line Organized in New
York has Already Chartered the Ca
tina and Belgian King.

WASHINGTON, September 21.-The
Polynesian steamship Company of
New York has been organized for the
purpose of establishing monthly COM
munication between San Francisco
and ports of the Society, Hawaiian and
Friendly Islands. The company pro-
poses to charter two steamers to be
used until the Cramps have time to
build three new ones. These will be
especially adapted to the trade and
will comply with the conditions of the
United States mail subsidy law, under
which they will be entitled to 81 mile
for carrying the mails. The French
government, to which the Society and
Friendly Islands belong, has offered
subsidy of 100000 a year as an in
ducement for the establishment of
steamship communication, and that
sum, together with the mail subsidies
from our government, is expected TO
make up any deficit that may arise.
The first steamer is expected to
leave San Francisco about the LIST of
January and will stop at Honolulu
en- route
Confirming the statement made
SUM- llllt Slutt lHdU Il new line OF
steamships was being organized i'm
New York to run from California to
Yokohama, it is now learned that the
interested company has secured the
steamers, Catania and Belgian King.
both of which are now on the Allan
tic. The Catania is 315 feet long. Sc

with gross tonnage of 2.216 tons. The
Belgian King is a larger vessel. being
$50 feet long, II feet wide and 10 feet
inches deep, with a gross tonnage
of 1919 tons. Contracts have lust
been let for complete remodeling of
the cabins. state rooms and upper
works of both steamers. The cost of
the work on the Catania will be SIS
600 and on the Belgian King 500. 900.
third steamer will also be bought
for the company.

 It is probable now that stirring events along the south coast of Cuba will tread upon the heels of one an- other, and the people of Phoenix are assured that they will hear of them through the columns of The Republi- can as soon as if they were in Wash ington and had access to the war de- partment bulletin board.

The latter was quite well known in Phoenix, having been employed by the Sunset Telephone company. Of the wounded Hill and Beale are also we'll known.

HITE's CASE GOES TO STANTON.
Supreme Court of Appeals VIII Pass
UpOn IL as Soon as II Meets.

The case of George Hite, the Mecklen-
burg murderer, who was to have been
hanged last Wednesday for the murder
of William Bowers, and whose execution
was postponed by writ of error and SUI
persedeas, granted by Judge Cardwell,
Will come up before the Supreme Court
Of Appeals when it meets in Staunton
next September.
Judge Cardwell was in the city yester-
day and ordered the case removed to
Stanton in order that Il might be
passed upon by the court as speedily
as possible.
The Mecklenburg people are clamoring
for justice TO be melted out to Hite for
his crime, which was most deliberate
and cold-blooded. 1t appears from the
transcript OF the evidence now on file
in the Supreme Court that Hite while
in a beastly state of intoxication went
to BoWerss house in search Of Bowers's
brother. who owed him some money.
He said il the money was not paid he
would kill Bowers, and the brother, a
very good negro, expostulated with him,
saying: "You wouldn't kill nobody coz
they couldn't pay you what they owed
you, would you Mr.. HiteY'
Hite replied with an oath that he would
kill Bowers, whereupon the negro turned
his back and walked off, saying as
he did so: 81 amt afeared of your killing
me, coz l amt done nothing TO you"
He had hardly uttered the words ere
Hite drew his revolver, shooting Bowers
in the back of the head, and killing him
Instantly. The man was murdered in the
presence Of his wife and children.
