Honolulu, Jan. -, via San Francisco,
Jan. 2O.-SiN cases of plague have
broken out since last advices. The
heard of health is still working hard
to suppress the scourge. The govern
p:ent has been more liberal in furnish
ing means to clean the city.
Fires are of daily occurrence in
Chinatown, the seat of the trouble.
Quarantine measures are being made
mere strict every day.
The island shipping business is in
danger OF complete suspension if the
plague situation does not mend. The

difficulties in the way of continuing
to run them.

MISSOURI VERSUS ILLINOIS.
Summons Against the State of Hill
nOis Returnable i'm the Su-
preme Court April z.

Washington, Jan. 23.-In the case of
the State of Missouri VS.. the State of
Illinois, involving the petition for ar
injunction against the Chicago drain
age canal, the United States court de-
cided to permit the attorney general of
Missouri to file his bill, making the
summons to the defendants returnable
on April ?.
In connection with this decision, Mr..
B. Schumacher, representing the
state of Missouri, asked for tempo
rary restraining order against the Chi
cage drainage district prohibiting the
operation of the canal during the
pendency of the proceedings in this
court. He said the canal had been
opened since the proceedings had be-
gun here, and with the full knowledge
of the proceeding.
In reply, Chief Justice Fuller said
that it was impossible for the supreme
court to exercise original jurisdiction
i'll salt between states without giving
notice: that 60 days were required for
a return, and that nothing could be
done before the date upon which the
service was made returnable in the
main proceeding, viz: April 2.

WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED.
baseball Player Kills His Wife
and Children and Hinlself-An
Unbalanced Mind.

Worcester Mass, Jan. 19.-Martin
| Bergen, a member of the Boston base
! bali team, shot and killed his wife and
tive children and then cut his own
throat at his home in North Brook
I field, Mass.
, 1t was about 1890 o'clock this after
noon when the bodies were found, but
it is thought that the crime was COM
mitted earlier this morning. Bergen
was IL his stocking feet, and the kitch-
en- fire had been made ready for light
ing. 1t is thought that he had risen
! and started to perform the usual early
morning duties when the mania seized
him and he went back to the chamber.
where his wife and children were still
in bed, and killed Mrs. Bergen and the
hey. Whether the little girl, awakened
b. the action, jumped from her cot
beside that of her mother and fed into
the kitchen, or how she got there is
matter of surmise. From the position
OF Bergen's body it is believed that he
stood in front of a lookingglass and
applied the razor with fatal eject, lay
ing it on the table before he fell.
Death must have been almost instan-
tareous in each case. Bergen's home
is about two miles from North Brook
field. He had prosperous farm and
considerable live stock. His father,
Michael Bergen. lives not far away.
Bergen began playing ball with the
Will esbarre club in 1898, and later
PLAYED with Pittsburgh, Kansas City
and Boston. He was of an erratic dis
position. and several times last sum
mcr disappeared from the team with.
ouE notifying Manager Salee or he
other players. Once he went to his
hcmc in North Brookfield and refused
TO play, alleging that he had not been
treated we'll by his fellow-playcrs and
his manager. Much persuasion was re
qUireG to induce him to rejoin his clut.
President Soden, of the Bostons, mi:
afternoon said:
while Bergen was with the team
we were always fearful lest Martin
should commit some rash act. l have
personally been of theopinion for sCI1!t
time that he was not of sane mind. He
acted queerly while at home, and whe1
on the road he was worse. He was
very Respondent and at times would
stay away from his fellow members o.
th.e team
Mr.. Soden said Bergen's connection
with the Boston team expired October
last. Nothing had been said to him
about next season, Mr.. Soden said, and
added that he did not think Bergen
would have been found on the team
next year.

CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION.
State and United States Courts at
LOSEerheads Over a Case ut
COVingtOn, ky.

Ccvington, KY, Jan. ga conflict
OF jurisdiction between state court
and the United States court is immi-
nent here. Sheriff Boskees and Re-
ceiver George Keefer were served with
a rule from Judge Evans. of the United
States court, requiring them to appear
before him in Louisville, Tuesday, to
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt for forcibly
taking possession of Cavanaugh's drug
store, when it was in possession of
United States officer. Cavanaugh, after
having his store attached by an order
from Judge Tarvin's court, filed pc
titiol in bankruptcy, and the referee
in bankruptcy ousted Judge Tarvin's
receiver, Geogre Keefer. Judge Tarvin
then ordered Keefer to retake the
place, which he did with the help of
the sheriff. Now the United States
court proposes to settle the question
of jurisdiction in Louisville.

guments were made by Chairman p.
b. Brown, of GAINESVILLE, o., and Gen.
Daniel f. Sickles, the old commander
OF the Third army corps. The princi-
pa! feature of the arguments was that
the law be made so clear as to be be-

posed in the GaIinger bill. In the
main, it's provisions were approved as
giving the remedies desired. Gen.

A MOST SWEEPING DENIAL.
Webster Davis is Not Charged with
Amy Diplomatic Mission TO the
Transyaa1 RepubIiA

Washington, Jan. 23.-Both the
thorize the most sweeping denial of
the story thai Webster Davis. assist
ant secretary of the interior, is clothed
with any diplomatic mission. It is de-
clared that he represents no depart
ment of the United States governs
nent in his visit to South Africa, but
is there in a personal capacity. Since
his arrival at Cape Town, where ne
went to visit his cousin, Consul Cen
eral Stowe, the state department has
been very much annoyed at the mis-
construction that has been placed up
on his visit. It was to prevent further
misunderstanding on that score that
the department positively declined Mr..
Davis application for leave of alb
sence for Mr.. Stowe. who wished to ac.
company Mr.. Davis to Pretoria. If Mr..
Davis visit had not been purely per.
sonal, it is very likely that he would
have been also enjoined from pro-
ceeding to Pretoria, FOR it is antici-
rated that Misrepresentation as TO his
purpose would be drawn. 1t is even
now possible that he will receive re-
minder from the interior department
that his course is embarrassing to the
government.
The state department has sent no
instructions to Mr.. Macrum respecting
his attitude toward the newspapers
since his departure from Pretoria for
the United States. In fact, it is said
that the department has no authority
whatever over Mr.. Macrum. who has
passed out of the government service.
