WHO Is BROWN.
The Question Answered in a Seattle
Telegram.

SEATTLE, (Wash), January o.
David Brown, the Honolulu" preacher
accused of betraying Lieutenant Gill
more's party twice to the Filipinos, Is
said TO have formerly been a promi-
nent Methodist minister OF St. Paul
and to be a fugitive from justice in
that city.
Captain Walter s. Miner, master OF
the ill-fated steamer City of Columbia
on her voyage from Seattle TO Homo
lulu in the fall of 1898, says Brown
shipped as waiter on that voyage un-
der the name of Williams, and that his
identity was discovered through his at
tempt % lead Sunday serTices on the
vessel. Brown first explained that he
had gone to sea to overcome an over
powering appetite for liquor, but later
il was learned, Miner says, from Miss
McKaig, daughter Of the Presiding Ell
der OF the St. Paul Methodist district
who was a passenger, that he was nee
ing from a bail bond OF $4,000 which
had been furnished in st. Paul pending
Browns trial on the charge OF seduc'
ins a girl Of twelve years.
On the way to Honolulu, wallace
U-her, another passenger, was robbed
OF 1925. and Brown was arrested foI
stealing Il, as he was the waiter wnC
attended 70 Usher's cabin. he was
I however. released for want OF evidence
to convict. and Miner says paid MS
/ way 10 Manila with Ushers money.

ITALY COMES IN.
Last of the Powers for Chinese Open
Door.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Italy has
returned a favorable response to the
recent note of the State Department re-
specting the open door in China. Italy
was the last of the great powers re-
manning to be heard from.
It Is learned that, although Italy was
the last of the powers addressed to re-
turn an answer to Secretary Hays ov-
ertures, that Government really was
more prompt than any other in the ne
gotiations. This is explained by the
fact that the italian Government was
addressed on the subject some time aft
er the other Continental nations had 1t
under consideration, owing to the fact
that our Ambassador, Mr.. Draper, was
away from his post on leave Of absence
| in the United States when the Identical
note Of instructions was sent out, and
| IL was regarded as best to make no de-
parture from the rule which had been
adopted in the case of the other Gov
ernments, OF addressing them through
the United States representatives at
the foreign capitals. Immediately
upon Mr.. Draper's return to Rome, ne
laid the matter before the Italian GOV
ernment, which, therefore, has acted
with more promptness than most OF the
other powers. The agreements nave
not yet been reduced to their hnal
form, but the State Department Will
now enter upon the task of putting
them into the shape Of precis, and as,
fv1n 20 tho nrfn-
ciples involved in our invitation Is re-
turned in unequivocal terms, according
to the Department officials, II Is not an
ticipated that any difficulty will be ex'
perienced in accomplishing this worB
satisfactorily. Pending that outcome
, the State Department does not Intend
to make any statement for the public
as to the exact terms Of the agreements
though II Is admitted that the ground
has been covered with unusual accur
acy In the press reports up TO thi'
| point.

The Disease Runs Its Course in Thir-
ty-Eight Hours--The Precau-
tions in Manchuria.

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. S.-Manila pa
pers say that an epidemic like plague
is threatening Manila. The Manila
Times states that lit has been learned
from various authorities that in many
of our closely settled neighbortng
towns a serious epidemic bordering on
plague is raging. The towns principal
ly affected are Guadalupe, Mandaloga-
ma, Pineda and Malabon, besides a
number of others. The disease is said
to be due to eating the flesh from ami
mails which have died from disease.
Whatever the cause, there is little
doubt that a species Of plague exists.
which in most cases proves fatal. 1t is
said that the disease carries off its vic
tins within thirty-eight hours from
its attack, and in these country towns
medical aid or supplies are not to be
had readily, and then only in limited
way. Not only this, but burial Of the
corpses of those who have died from
this disease is carelessly conducted and
absolutely no precautions are taken.
Natives do not understand the care
which should be taken, but rely toe
much on their faith and superstition
1t has been decided, at the instance oi
the Russian Minister o. Finance, g. de
patch a sanitary corps of doctors ant
Sisters of Mercy to Manchuria to com
bat the plague. which has broken on
among the Chinese laborers on thu

HANNA WILL COMMAND.
To be Chairman of Convention as
Well as Committee.

To be Chairman of Convention as
Well as Committee.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 6.-Accord-
ing to the Cleveland Leader informa-
tion received by it from a source sec
ond only to President Mckinley and
Senator Hanna Is to the effect that not
only win Senator Hanna be the chair
l. X of the next Republican National
Committee, but that be viii be both
ten pCrary and permanent chairman Of
the Republican National Convention.
This statement may perhaps be ex-
planned upon the hypothesis that such
is the expressed wish Of President Nc
Kinley and that the President being the
only candidate before the convention
for the Office he holds, ne delegates
will cheerfully acquiesce. The statement
is made that the only question which
has ever existed as to the continuation
of Senator Hanna's leadership in the
coming campaign was that regarding
his health. He has now announced
his willingness to undertake the task
i this year and the Presidents wish in
! that respect is to be gratified. The
same source OF information is authori-
ty for the statement that the delegates
at large from Ohio to the Republican
National Convention will be Senator'S
Hanna and Foraker, Governor Nash
and General Dick, chairman of the
State Executive Committee.
