San Francisco, July 31.-The first and
only national bank outside of the conf
mental boundaries Of the United States
is about to be established in Honolulu.
Colonel G. w. McFarlan, who was
chamberlain to Queen Liliuokalani, has
arrived from the islands to perfect the
organization of the bank and later to
return with coin, representing the stock
subscribed for it by San Francisco and
New York capitalists. A charter for
the bank has already been procured
from the United States government by
Perry S. Heath, assistant postmaster
general, but it cannot be used until
congress places the Hawaiian situation
under the territorial laws of this coun-
try. In the meantime the new financial
institution will be known as the First
National bank, a charter for which has
Just been granted by the Hawaiian
government. The corporation is capt.
talized at 81. OOO,O 900 and one-half of that
amount will be in the vaults, as re-

Cause of JYnchings.

New York, July Ex-Governor D. NJ
Jones of Arkansas, replying to a query
from the Times as to the cause of
lynching in the South, said:
In my Judgment the so-caled de-
lays in the administration of criminal
law SO far as Arkansas is concerned
have not been the cause of the lynch
ing of any person accused of crime.
The lynchings in this state have Z an
orally been in cases of rape and at
tempted rape, and especially when the
assault has been made by negro upon
a white woman. This crime is so helm
Gus and revolving that all the laws in
the world, no matter how severe the
punishment or how speedy it's inflic-c
ton, cannot, in my Judgment, prevent
lynchings when the accused falls into
the hands of an enraged mob. / can
suggest no remedy, because there is
none except the cessation of the crime
itself. OF course, this is to be de-
plored, because it is always best that
the law should be permitted to take
it's regular course, but as long as
human nature remains as it is, the
conditions in this respect will not be
improved"

GRAND CIRCUIT MEETING |
Opened at Columbus Under
Favorable Conditions.
A PROHIBITIVE FAVORlTE
Was The Abbott in the Big Race of the
Day, and the Bay Gelding Did
Not 'Disappoint His
BaCkers.

Columbus, Ohio, July 31.-The Grand
Circuit meeting opened to-day under
the most favorable conditions The
weather was clear and the track was
fast. though it will improve slightly.
There were three races on the card,
and with the exception of the 1928 pace,
they were almost featureless
The big race of the day was the 2:0s
trot, with four starters, The Abbott,
Eagle Flanagan, Kentucky Union and
Matte Patterson. The Abbott was al
most a prohibitve favorite and the bay
gelding did not disappoint his hackers,
winning in straight heats. Eagle Elan
nagan was expected to give The Abbott
brush, but the favorite won with ease,
being pushed only in the second and
third heats. The Abbott clipped a
quarter of a second off his record in
the second heat, when he went the mile
in 2:07A.
In the 2:14 pace, Bob Fitzsimmons
won in straight heats, taking the first
in the fast time of 2:07&. There were
nine starters in this race. but Bob Fitz-
favorite.
The 2:23 pace furnished the only eX
element of the day. There were seven
starters, and although Shadeon was
picked by many to win, Wandering
Jew sold favorite in the pools and his
hackers did not finch when Shadeon
landed the first heat. Only four horses
remained in the race after the first
hnsn Nat n rirC hn
Spot and Mount Clemens Boy. The
Jew took the second and third heats
in apparently easy style and looked Il
sure winner, but in the fourth he
broke several times and showed evil
dence of weakening, dropping into
fourth place, while Shadeon took the
heat. When the horses scored for the
fifth heat it was evident that the Jew
was out of it. He nearly fell just after
he passed the wire and trailed far be-
hind the bunch, being shut out of sec
ond money by the distance flag. There
was a sharp brush between Shadeon
and Mount Clemens Boy at the finish,
but the former won by a length under
the whip. Results:

NEBRASKA TROOPS
Were Given a Royal Welcome by San
Francisco People.

San Francisco, July 31.-The Nebraska
regiment landed from the transport Han
Geek this morning and marched to the
Presidio where they went into camp pre-
paratory to being mustered out An i'm
mense crowd of people lined the streets
and cheered the war-worn veterans.
The dsembarking of the LIST Nebraska
infantry and Utah light artillery from the
transport Hancock to-day gave San Fran
ciscans a second opportunity to welcome
returning soldiers from the Philippines.
Long before the order to march was given
every available point from which a good
view of the parade could be had was oc-
cupied by thousands of enthusiastic peo-
pie Flags and bunting streamed from
nearly every building and many people
along the line of the march carried Amer
lean flags. which waved constantly as the
veterans marched toward the Preside.
Whistles were constantly blowing and
added to this was the noise of changing
bells, the firing of cannon and the eXplo-
sion of fireworks. Market street had been
cleared of all traffic and it was nearly 10
o'clock before the head of the procession
turned into that thoroughfare
General Shafter had provided an escort
of artillery, and this body of soldiers,
with the band, headed the procession. AS
the regimenta officers of the Nebraska
turned into Market street mighty cheer
was given. The band came next, playing
lively airs. and then followed the men, at
tired in campaign uniforms. The soldiers
looked very well as they marched along
and their soldierly appearance brought
forth much favorable comment. The men
were cheered to the echo as they proceeded
along the line of march, but the sight of
the battle flag of the Nebraskans seemed
to arouse all the enthusiasm the specta-
tors could muster. The hospital corps
brought up in the rear of the Nebraska
regiment, and seated in wagons were sew
eral wounded men.
Then came the Utah light artillery
headed by Major Grant. The band fol-
lowed. and then came the diminutive mas
cot of the Utahs, a little chap, perhaps 10
years old. attired in the uniform of the
regiment, and carrying a silver flagon.
The Utah artillery followed, and the well
come they received was fully as demon
strative as that given to the Nebraska
boys, who preceded them.
Bringing up the rear of the procession
was Troop f of the 9Th cavalry and the Sd
artillery
In the reviewing stand on Van Ness
avenue were General Shafter and Gov
error Poynter of Nebraska and several
members of his staff and Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson and their friends and
ladies. AS the Nebraska and Utah boys
passed the stand they cheered for Shafter
and Poynter and the gentlemen and ladies
returned the compliment by saluting and
waving handkerchiefs and flags.
Everything was in readiness for the re-
certion of the soldiers at the Presido
the camp had been partially prepared for
them and tonight they will be comforta-
bly, quartered. They will remain in camp
until mustered out. the exact date not
having yet been determined.

Hunter Not Reported.

New York, July 31.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
state department is becoming impa-
tient over the delay of Minister Hunter
in reporting upon the case of F. w.
Richards, the American citizen who
some time ago was deprived of his
mining concession and forced to leave
Guatemala. The delay has caused the
authorities to fear that Minister
Hunter has not given thorough inves-
tigation to the complaints made by
Richards at the time he informed him
that the Guatemalan authorities had
given full assurance that they had
ample evidence to warrant them in de-
porting the American from the coun-
try. From the statement Richards
made to the department the author
tiles believe that he has very strong
case against the Guatemalan govern
ment, and they are disposed to press
his claim for damages, but are handi-
capped in doing anything because of
the delay of our minister in answering
the departments dispatches.

Newport, r. l., July 31.-James 3.

according to the Paris Sor. has certain
information in his possession bearing
upon the Dreyfus case, said he had not
seen the statement of the Soir, but tnat
the report that he had any special in
formation regarding the Dreyfus mat
ter was entirely incorrect. He knew
about the affair only as IL had come
under his observation when he was in
France. He disclaimed without reser-
walton the possession of any secret in
formation relating to the case. Mr.
Eustis stated, however, that he has
written an article on THE Dreyfus
Case and the Jewish Question in
France and French and American
Democracy" which has been pre-
pared with great care and is to be
published in the Conservative Review

MUST SHOW CAUSE.
Bollen Was Sent to Prison without Hav-
ing Been Indicted.

Omaha, Neb., July 31.-Associate Jus
tice Brown of the United States su-
preme court has cited the state of Ne
braska to show why writ of error
should not issue in the Henry Bollen
embezzlement. Bollen was city treas
urer Of Omaha and was arrested for the
embezzlement of about 100000 of city
funds. He was tried and convicted in
the spring of 1895 and sentenced to
serve 10 years in the state penitentiary,
but owing to delays was not sent to
prison until the fall of 1897. The point
now made by his attorneys is that he
was tried and convicted without a pre-
liminary hearing or being indicted,
which under the laws of Nebraska is
possible. This is held to be at variance
with the constitution of the United
States, hence the order of the court.

Ihat this house, representing a peo-
pie who have largely succeeded by the
adoption of the principle of conceding
equal political rights to every portion

sympathy with the efforts of her ma
