The Plague In Honolulu.

Washington, Feb 6.-surgeon General
sternberg has received report from
Major B. D. Taylor, surgeon U. S. A.,
in regard to the progress Of the bubonic
plague II Hcnolulu. His report is dat
ed at the United STATES military hospi-
tai, Honolulu, Jan. IS, and says that up
to that date there have been "a cases of
hubonic plague in the city of Honolu-
lu with 81 deaths.
"The situation is very serious" says
Surgeon Taylor, ''as The disease has
broken out in several isolated places out
side Of the originally infected district.
One soldier of the Hawaiian national
guard is dead Of the dread disease an I

The board of health seems to be doing
everything il its power and IS burning
Chinatown and all other infected locali-
ties and keeping the inhabitants in iso-

dous task before it, however, as the ac-
cumulation Of filth Of mary years is
enormous. We are lucky in the kospi-

At 1880 O'Clock Governor Taylor said
ne would make no public statement re-
gardinG his attitude toward the resolu-
t1on of the Louisville conference before
tomorrow, but it is generally believed
he will accept the agreement. Taylor
has made the assertion that if the Goe-
bel law IS repealed and an election law
given the people of Kentucky which will
insure fair and honest count of votes
as cast he will allow no personal am
bition of his to stand in the way of
peaceful adjustment Of the present trou-

Want to Know Whether or

FIGHTING AT CoLENSO.
Within the Next Few Days Is
Expected to be Severe
Battle Of MagerSfOntein
Is Described.

London, Feb. 6.-This hoping, fearing,
doubling nation remains at the mercy of
every wild rumor. The impression that
Buffers forces are fighting will not die
out in spite Of the continuous assertions
of the war office that it has no news to
confirm that belief. From Capetown
under to-day's date comes a statement
that up to this morning nothing has been
heard there regarding Buffers recon-
Nuisance at the Tugela river while Lord
Roberts in dispatch dated Feb. s, re-
ports no change in the situation.
In view of the latter's dispatches it
seems hard to credit the circunnstantial
report Of the engagement of Buffers
troops. Common sense now almost in
clines towards the decision that these are
due to the wish being father of the
thought. Supposition upon such basis is
utterly futile.
Complete silence from the front and at
home may be significant, as wiseacres
aver, but 1t more probably represents
that period of preparation which preced IS
an important movement.
The reports from Tugela on conditions
are scarcely more satisfactory. There
Is conclusive vagueness regarding Gen.
eral French's reported intention to attack
Norvals pont with overwhelming force Of
infantry. While the news of sharp
fighting in the neighborhood of Colenso
can be fairly expected within a few days
1t is not likely it will assume greater
proportions than reconaisances and skir-
mishes. For the purpose Of holding an
advanced position of the forthcoming
main advance by way Of Bloemfontein,
General French is strategicaly prohibit
ed from running any serious risk.
From Kimberley and Mafeklng there Is
nothing new so it can be presumed that
intermittent bombardment of those places
continues.

DESCRIPTION OF
THE BATTLE OF
MAGERSFONTEIN

London, Feb. 6-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press.) - Extended ac-
counts of the British reverses at Storm
berg, Magersfontein and Colenso are
coming in by mail from war correspond
ents From those realistic Impressions
may be gained Of what defeat really
means.

correspondent Of the Times, zone or two
.ticklish fights, but at Stormberg for the
first time I was enabled to realize what
actual defeat means. It was indeed a
case of vaevfctis. The hopeless exhaus-
tion Of the UNHAPPY soldiers was terrible
to see.'
His description of General Gatacre's 8
reverse at this point Is, in oar, as fol-
lows: 1.-THE infantry had been a. work
or in the train. in open trucks or march
ing since a. m. on Saturday. The
actual march occupied seven hours and
1t is therefore little to be wondered at
that the men were wholly incapable Of
making a supreme effort when at last
they were surprised by recaiving fire at
short range. while marching in fours in
fancied security.

companies at hand at once rushed over

ceeded and advancing from boulder to

shells falling short, dealt the destruc-
tion among the assailants of the posi-
ton.
IA partial retirement instantly ensued
and, having brought to standstill. the
attack gradually melted away until, con-
WINGED that the case was hopeless. the
general ordered the retire to be sounded.

General Butler has not carried out the
intentions which we know he entertained

is certain now that the Beers at Coles
burg have been so masked that they
cannot well take part in any general
operations but must fight or surrender"

THE People Of london
IN AN ANXIOUS State

while not few were SO utterly exhaust
ed that they preferred to stay where they
were at all hazards than to undertake
the ordeal of a rapid retirement over the
open ground at the foot of the hills.
Eventually over 500 unwounded men
were taken prisoners. Steadily, as il on
parade, the retirement was executed by
those who responded to the order, the
soldiers moving back at steady pace
without the least hurry or confusion and
halting constantly to fire.

SpeClal TO lnLor MOuHtdlN.
washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-George
Casey's testimony yesterday fatty con-
tradicted that of Murray, who accused
him of attempting to buy Murray's vote
for Clark. Witness explained his rela-
ton with Representative Lockhart as
that of a partner in a ranch and mining
business paying $4,000 yearly. Witness
owed nothing to Clark and did business
of his own amounting to a million dol
lars annually.
Rhodes testimony against John r.
Toole was the sensation Of the day.
Toole wore fixed smile during Rhodes
talk.
The discrimination Of Jacqueth
failed to shake him. He had his bank
books with him and explained every fin
ancial transaction as desired by Chand-
loT. He denied having placed his initials
on an envelope and wrote them on pa
per for the purpose of comparison. He
scored Whiteside.
Representative Ingersoll explained his
vote for Clark on account Of political
conditions and the petition of Miles
City business men and republicans. He
denied having told Senator Mckay of an
offer of ten thousand for his vote. The
petitions referred to were put in evil
dence. Chandler evidently took a fancy
to the witness and though the cross
examination was severe the chairman
treated Ingersoll with great considera-
ton. In the cases Of suspected false
hood on either side Chandler delighted
in exposing the character Of such wit
nesses.
Senator Connolly of Granite was very
severe on the Anaconda people and ac-
cused Campbell, Whiteside and Hart
man of unsavory regulations. He de-
nounced the congressman's labor record
and said he had voted in the Montana
legislature against every measure fav-
oring the workingmen. He excoriated
Hartman who tried to regard the attack
humorously. The recollections Of the
last campaign, however, were vivid on
the minds of those present.
Connolly swore that Governor Smith
told him Marcus Daily would be elected
senator. He spoke Of Clark and said
the senator never made his employees
board at company boarding houses,
trade at the company store, or coerce
them to sacrifice their rights as Ameri-
can citizens. He concluded by stating
that Mr.. DAILY was not present at the
meeting Of the legislature because he had
not the nerve to be there.
This morning not much was done as
to the admissibility Of Ben Folks tes-
timony concerning Whiteside's offer to
him of one thousand dollars to let White
side get at the election returns of Flat.
head county. The committee adjourned
till 3 O'Clock.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The controversy
over the election of Senator Clark Of
Montana began to-day with another
wrangle between opposing attorneys
over the ownership Of the letter inter-
cepted in Campbelrs office while 1t was
being carried from Bickford to Roote.
Both sides wanted the letter when the
senate committee had disposed of its con-
tents. Chandler announced he would
keep the letter for the present, thus cut.
ting short the controversy.
The first witness to-day was State
Senator Phillips '(republican). He had
known Clark for 30 years and had voted
for him. Clark. he said. had assured
him he was In favor Of the tariff on lead
and other raw materials and was an ex-
pansionist. The witness denied having
told Senator Mckay that any votes were
to be purchased for Clark.
Senator Cullen, (democrat) contradicted

effect he was to receive fifteen thousa nd
dollars for his vote for Clark. Cullen re.

st. Louis, Mo-, May 25.-Every sug-
gestion tending to prevent definite
action on the question of revision OF
creed was voted down by the Presby-
terrain general assembly and the re-
port of the committee on bills and
overtures referring the matter to a
special committee was adopted by an
overwhelming majority. This was
accomplished only after prolonged
continuance Of the discussion Of yes.
terday and an exhibition OF feeling
which was entirely absent from the
previous days debate. The assembly
elected as permanent clerk the Rev.
w. D. Noble, of California. "a
The action regarding revision neces-
states the appointment Of commit
tee of fifteen by Moderator Dickey,
who by special motion was added to
it as chairman to consider the entire
matter OF restatement of the con-
fession of faith and report to the next
general assembly with recommends
tions. In furtherance of this the
presbyteries, if they SO desire, will at
their fall meetings take action on the
subject and communicate with the

clerk of the assembly.

, F.
Moderate as is Wyoming's produce
ton Of coal, 1t Is ample to serve as an
object lesson to the $500 miners in
that state. They can see that there
was an increasing demand for Wyom-
ing coal in the year 1S90-92 under the
Republican administration of Presi-
dent Harrison, with consequent bet
ter employment Of labor. s.
They can also see that the output Of
coal from Mornings mines decreased
during the Democratic administration
of President Cleveland, when the min
ers were only working from 1874 to 1870
days in the year.
But there were more men at work,
and they were working more days, 242
days in 1898, under the Republican
administration of President Mckinley.
Then the output of the Wyoming coal
mines increased to 4.547,733 tons last
year. 7.
Miners will do well to think over
these facts. Next November they will
have to vote either for activity in the
mines. with work nearly all the year
through, or for partial idleness, with
work only for half year. Republican
prosperity has reached the Western
mines, and it will stay there If we
again elect Republican president this
year, and Republican representatives
in congress to support him.
