whistle from Stanwood.
Ralph paused while yet several yards
from the others

| Miss Hastings noticed that his voice
seemed to break when he raised it in
calling to Stanwood.
Gentlemen, / think you'd better

tone from the searcher.
''Oh, mol Don't leave us!" cried Alice
Benton 81 cannot bear it. -
'What is it, Stanwood?' asked Ralph
''The ladies refuse to be left alone''
Stanwood came out of the shrubbery.
Something awful has happened, I"
he said, looking at Miss Benton. "Be
prepared

Stanwood hesitated and glanced cues
tioningly at Ralph.
",Out with it. said Ralph. turning
his face toward the house.
81 found your father" said Stan
wood. HE has been murdered.
''Are you sure it was he?" asked
Ralph.
"Quite sure. He is lying under the
large oak in the middle of the north
walk. "
Miss Benton's head sank to Miss
Hastings shoulder, and she uttered a
low moan. Suddenly she raised her
head and stared at Montcastle question

''Hold on!' The command came
from Ralph. II presume Stenwood
knows what he is talking about. We
must be careful and not do anything
which would stand in the way of police
Investigations. Many valuable clew

on the spot before detectives arrive. We
will notify the authorities at once.
He'll have to lie where he is till'-
''Oh, brother" protested Miss Ben

the horse?''
''He is quite right" Montcastle put
in. IF your father is dead, it would
not help matters to move him. You Ia

"Oh." cried Alice, II cannot bear to
think of it, and you and r.
''Hushr' interrupted Montcastle in a
cautious whisper. Remember your
promise. - He drew her arm into his
and started toward the house. The
whispered warning escaped Miss Has

what ought to be done. Stanwood
agreed to stand guard at the end of the
north walk, while Ralph escorted Miss
Hastings to the house and informed the
police.
"You see," Ralph explained, 81

"Quite, returned Stanwood. 81 pre-.

capes him. .
Ralph hesitated. Miss Hastings saw
strange expression cross his sallow
face
I'll don't know" he stammered.
"Of course-well, presume the police
will know if it is necessary.
II should have Hendricks by all
MEANS Stanwood advised. Il see by
the papers that he is in the city. He is
undoubtedly the finest detective in
America"
Ralph gave his arm to Miss Hastings.
"All right" said he, IF the police

GOVERNMENT OF
THE ISLANDS
Recommendations to Be Made BY the
Hawaiian Commission.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: 1t is
probable that the report fthe Hawaiian
commission will favor a more liberal
form of government for the island than
has generally been expected. The mem
bers have favorably considered propo-
sition to give the islands representa-
tive in the house with vote, in which
regard he would rank with the repre-
sentatIves, and not with the delegates
from Arizona, New Mexico and Oklaho-
ma, who have the privilege of talking,
but not the right of voting.
The government suggested for the ISL
and will in all probability be an ad.
vance on the present organized terri
tories, but, of course, will not contem-
plate statehood. Several members ot
the commission 60 to the extent of be-
lieving that Hawaii should have repre-
sentation in the senate, though probably
without a vote. This feature, however
may not appear in the report.

Who is Right About This.

DENVER, Colo Nov. 1S.-The Rocky
Mountain News publishes the following
telegram, signed R. A. Alger, secretary
of war:
''No thought has been gwen to muster
out the Colorado regiment, nor will there
be until peace is declared"
Last Sunday Governor Adams received
letter fromAdjutant-G General Cor bin in
which the following language was used ::
''It is the purpose of the war depart
ment to return to the United States
within few months the volunteer regi-
ments now serving in Manila other regI-
ments now being on their way to replace
them. 1t is believed this will have been
accomplished, and the soldier for whom
YOU write will return about as soon
as though his discharge were ordered
Immediately"
The apparent disagreement between
the two messages is causing considerable
speculation as to whether change has
occurred IN the Philippine situation
within the past week.

It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can

mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as a
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t cures
constipation, headache, faInting spells,

men was local from Milltown, due at
Jersey City at II 20 a. m. A fog had
delayed the train and the engineer, ].
Van Ostrand, was running at high speed
believing there was nothing to prevent
quick run to Jersey City. He only
knew that his train had ran into the
men when the engine Jared. Then the
cries of the men were heard and as soon
as possible he stopped the train.
Passengers aided the trainmen in
searching for the victims. This was moi
an easy task in the thick fog which pre-
vailed.

THE OBJECT OF
GREELY'S VISIT
Government Must Have Cable Com
munications-He Announced That
He Would Inspect a Line Across
the Columbia From Fort Stevens

PORTLAND, Nov. 1S--The United
States and Hawaii are soon to be con-
nected by cable, and the starting place
from the Pacific coast may be not far
from Astoria.
General Greely stated Thursday that
he had recommended the building of the
cable, and that a company had been
formed, and was only awaiting recogni-
ton from congress to begin work. That
such recognition would be forthcoming
at the next session the general expressed
no doubt.
The government not only wants, but
must have telegraph connections with
Honolulu, and would prefer that this
connection be made by private corpo-
ration. The only questions remaining
are what assistance shall be rendered
this corporation by the government, and
from what point on the Pacific coast
shall the cable start.
From surveys already made, 1t has
been decided that there are places be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu
where the bottom of the ocean would
not permit of the laying of a cable
with any degree of safety on account of
the tremendous rocks and boulders
formed at those places. The govern
ment, if it is to aid in the construction
of this cable, would want to know just
what the prospects were of laying one
that would be permanent and a success.
To determine this, General Greedy has
been sent. He finds the conditions out
from San Francisco unfavorable, and
will now investigate the mouth of the
Colupbia to determine If it is suitable
place, and if so cablegrams from Astoria
to Honolulu will be ordinary things In

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for

by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

TERMS WILL
BE EXPLICIT
Time Limit to Be Fixed Within Which
They Must Be ccepted-President
Fauer Engaged Exchanging COur-
tesies With American and Spanish
Commissioners.

PARIS. Nov. 1S.-The United States
peace commissioners are devoting today
as they did yesterday to formulating the
next presentation for consideration of
the Spanish commissioners. While the
Americans are reticent as to their inten-
tions, it may be said without reserve
that the occasion is near upon which the
exact peace terms acceptable to the
American commissioners will be laid
before the Spaniards with time limit
for their acceptance.
There were three officials functions
here yesterday afternoon and evening
which caused considerable interest
among the American peace commission
ers. The first was the bestowal of the
golden fleece upon President Faure by
the queen regent of Spain, through the
president of the Spanish peace commits
sion, Senior Montero Rios. The second
was dinner given by Faure to Rios and
his fellow commissioners. Finally last
night President Faure received the
American commissioners at Elysee
palace, where there was comique opera
entertainment in their honor.
There is some surprise expressed
among the members of the American
colony at the bestowal of decoration
upon the French president at the hands
ofthe Spanish peace commission at this
moment, and others are asking them
selves whether the entertainment at
Elysee palace was to be regarded as a
sort of compensation to the Americans,
whose sensibilities may have been
wounded by the bestowal of the Spanish
decoration upon Faure before the con-
clusion of peace negotiations.

When the engine which struck the la

the cowcatcher was red with blood from
the men killed. After the engine was

one of the victims, and had been carried
