what the Nation Says.

Hawaiian election returns are just
in, aud show that the ungrattful
natives stood together and oUtvoted
their white deliverers Not only
did they elect their delegate to Con.
gre,s, but carried the Hawaiian
Legislature as we'll, so that nothing
hut Governor Dole's veto will now
prevent the friehtiuI evil OF a Gov
ernmept of Hawaii by Hswaiisns.
No wonder that the beaten whites
declare that thu natives have shown
themselves Nunft for the suffrage
aud that Congress must immediate-
ly intervene to take it away from
them. Selfgovernment, new sty'e,
means docils readiness to let the
minori y exploit tho majority; and
il the silly majority. object, why,
they mnst not be allowed to vote at
all. This unhappy outcome in Ha-
wall was forseen by the white oil
garcb', who protested, from the
frs, agSiost manhood suffrage a.
probably fatal to their snug littla
monopoly OF government at Homo
lulu, Now that their worst fears
are realized, they will move on

Attorney Strauss, the well. known
attorney, was hailed up before Judge
Humphreys few weeks ago, on q
I charge OF contempt preferredf by
Kinney, Blllou g. McClanahan, at
torneys for the petitioner in the
Audrade divorce suit
Mr.. Leon Strauss was charged
with having assisted certain import
ant witnesses in the divorce case to
leave the country and also OF having
endeavored to induce a witness for
the petitioner to accept sum Of
money in lieu Of Disappearing.
The numerous friends of Mr..
Strauss were surprised when they
heard OF the charge. Mr.. Strauss
enjoys a fine reputation here and
everybody knowing him were posi-
tive that he would never be guilty
oisuch a serious breach OF legal ETH
quette as that preferred against him
by Mr.. McClanahsn.
1t is well;known that a certain
firm OF so.cal!ed private detectives
are hostile towards Strauss and that
they did all ia their power TO con-
vince the Judge OF the guilt OF the
young attorney.
The Judge summed up the evil
dsnce and in discharging Mr.. Strauss
said that he would never take the
word OF a hired detective against
that of an attorney and officer Of
the Court, whose honorable career
as member os the bar was we'll
known to the Court aud to his
colleagues.
Mr.. McClanahan did not look
happy, and modest Leon struass
blushed.

Democrats Decline.

Executive Committee, notified the
president OF the Home Rule Party
that heDemocratic party could not
accept the invitation of the Inde.
pendeuts to join q non.partisan
committee, the duty of which should
be the temporary framing OF char
ter for Honolulu The Democrats
have been very willing to cooperate
with the other parties in an effort to
frame law which might be suit
able for municipal and county gov
eminent, and acceptable to the
Legislature. The joint committee
was supposed to be on strictly non.
partisan lines. AS the Republicans
have decided to act on their own
hook, the committee proposed by
the Independents would not be
non-partisan, if composed of indie
pendents and Democrats only, and
the latter advise the dominating
party to go ahead, frame charter
and present it to the Legislature as
emanating from them. II the char
tor is carefully drawn it will have
the hearty support OF the Demo.

YAVAPAI ALL RIGHT
Miners Endorse Governor Murphy's
 Mining Proclamation.

At no time has there been d question that Governor Murphy would carry the northern counties, but as the days go by reports give a constantly increasing assurance that his majorities will be decidedly satisfactory. Territorial Sec retary Akers returned last evening with the eXcursionists, after several days spent in YaVapai county. He tray eled all over the southern part of the county and visited many of the lead ing mining camps.
 When seen by Republil an reporter last evening he said: You can quote me as saying that there is not miner or prospector in the places I visited but who is with the governor on the so- called mining proclamation. It is true I met some who were greatly op posed to it at the time it was first is sued, but at that time they did not realize it's full meaning. Now that they thoroughly understand it they recog- nize in it one of the best safeguards to the mining industry of the territory , and are heartily in accord with him. The miners are for Murphy"
 MT. Akers timed himself to be in Jerome at Wednesday nights big meet ing. and says the demonstration there was simply immense and the sentiment Was strongly in favor of the governor, who delivered an excellent speech.
 In the matter of bonds, he took oc- casiOn to touch upon the Pima bonds which his opponents are constantly ac- cusng him of having endeavored to fund. He said in his speech that such statements were utterly false and that he never had tried to validate them, nor would he have done so if the loan commission had remaine' in eX- istence to this day
 Tine Yavapai bonds are an entirely different matter and the two should not be confOunded. His record on the Yavapai bonds is an open book and is a record he is proud to stand by.

AN UNLIKELY TALE
Story That the First National Bank
 Knows Where Alvord Is.

New York. Oct. 25.-The Evening World says tha whereabouts of Cor nelius AlVord, the dcfluIting teller of the First National bank. is known to his attorneys and to the bank officials. that he is under close surveillance. but not arrested. as such move would bar the restitution of a large portion of his dcfalcattun. which the bank is seeking ito accomplish. II is said that AIvurd look an enormous sum of ready cash when he left the bank, and if this is restored and his securities and wifc's horses, diamonds and other property is realized on. the amount of his defaIca- tion will be reduced to the neiGhbor- hood of $10O0O0.
 Fisher Baker, counsel for the bank, and one of the directors denied the truth of the Worlds story. and says the the hank officials do not know the whereabouts of Alvord and would not think of negotiating with him.

Weather Bureau Puts a New Ma-
 chine In Operation.

Human ingenuity has almost para lyzgd the imagination in harnessinS the elements in the service of man. and the same subtloty of invention is exhibited in the instruments and methods for de termining the elemental forces. so that ones wonder keeps pace with admira- ton in a visit to the local United States weather bureau office.
 A new instrument, received several days ago, and known in the bureau as the triple register. is the most wonder ful machine on the station. By electri- cal connection on the roof with the Vane or anemoscope, for showing the direction and ,the anemomcter for measuring the velocity of the wind and rain, are forced to give up their sec rets to this automatic register. One pen records the velocity of the wind, another the the rain fall. while the four rubber stamps, marked N. F, s, w, indicate the directions of the wind for every minute of the day.
 The clocllwork is applied to the re vo!ving of the cylinder instead of turn ing of hands. The cylinder is cpvercd
Arizona republican., 1900-10-26

with paper, suitably ruled, with time spaced lines, and makes four revolu- tions every twenty-four hours. The cylinder during it's revolution is car ried forward by means of spiral screw, and the paper therefore is not changed at each turn, but at 12 o'clock each day.
 The vane, or anemoscope. is chiefly remarkable from the mechanism. It revolves on an iron rod, which runs down the pole to an iron box. To this box run five wires from the register ill the office, which by clever arrange ment of alternate rubber and brass finger pieces with platinum points, con- vey instantly to the stamps on the triple register in the office all changes in the direction of the wind.
 The anemometer,' said Observer L.. NJ. Dey. yesterday, lis simple in it's construction. The cups are made of aluminium because of it's lightness and are as nearly as possible hemispherical, they are fastened firmly to a steel rod, which runs down to a dial, about a foot beneath the cups, where it ends in an endless screw, working in a series of cog wheels. These wheels operate the dial and the dial causes the pen on the triple register tC charge up each mile of wind that passes over the office.
 "The rain gauge I have not received yet, but it performs it's work equally as wonderful as the Vane or anemom- eter."
