ELECTION IN HAWAII.
Defeat Of Republican by Independent
ROyalist Candidate.

Honolulu Nov. 8, via San Francisco,
Nov 16.-Robert w. Wilcox, the indie
pendent royalist candidate, has been
elected Hawaiian delegate to congress
by a small majority over Samuel Park
er, republican. Much depression has
resulted among all whites, as Wilcox
was strongly opposed by republicans
and democrats alike, His campaign
was an anti-white canvass, with prom
ises on the part of some Of his campaign
workers that If he were elected Queen
Lilioukalani should be restored to the
throne. The result of the vote shows
the native bitterness over annexation to
be still alive.
The republicans carried Honolulu and
the Island Of oahu for Parker by 219
plurality. The democratic candidate,
Prince David Kawanaakona, received
only about one-third as many votes as
Parker. 1t is reported that eX-Queen
Lilioukalani secretly threw her influ-
ence to Wilcox. There is much bitter
ness against her among the democrats,
who hoped that even if they did not
elect their man they would at least SO
divide the native vote that Wilcox
would be behind Parker.
The independent native party carried
the house of representatives by large
majority. They will have fourteen
members of the house, with no republi-
cans and six Independents and demo-
Gratis. In the senate there will be seven
republicans, eight Independents and one
democrat With the independents in
control lively session is expected, as
they are against the ruling regime.
1t is likely as a result of the election
that congress will be asked to establish
some limitations upon the voting privi-
lege. Many of the whites want prop
erty qualification for voters 1t Is ar
gued that IN voting upon simple color
line many of the natives have shown
themselves entirely unfit for universal
suffrage.

Minneapolis, Nov. l6.-Ihe National
Women's council hnlshed its work TO-
day. The most important resolution
was one from the social purity section,
which recited that it had been reported
that the social evil is licensed in the
Philippines by our government and
protected by its officers. 1t was re-
solved to ask the government to inves-
tigate this report and if found true to
abolish the system. Another resolution
declares that not a dollar raised by

the reervation that more data concern
ing the problem should be gathered.

A LYNCHINC IN COLORADO
Very Spot Where 1T Was Committed
He Assaulted and Murdered a Young
Girl-The Father Lighted the Fire
All the Citizens Took Part.

Limon, Col, Nov. 16-Chained to
railroad rail set firmly in the ground
on the exact spot where his fiendish
crime was committed, Preston Porter,
jr., or, as he was familiarly known,
John Porter, this evening paid terri
BILE penalty for his deed, the fiendish
assault and cruel murder of little Lou
Use Frost, whose mutilated body was
found hidden among the bushes the day
after the crime was committed. 1t was
6:23 o'clock when the father of the
murdered girl touched the match to the
fuel piled around the stake, and twenty
minutes later last convulsive shudder
told that life was extinct.
What agony the doomed boy suffered
while the flames shrivelled up his flesh
could only be guessed from the terrible
contortion of his face and the cries he
gave from time to time. The eXecu-
TONERS, who numbered about three hun
dred citizens of Lincoln county, had not
the least semblance of the ordinary
mob. Their every act was deliberate
and during all the preparations, as well
as throughout the sufferings of the ne
spoken. Grimly they stood in circle
about the fire until the body was en-
tirely consumed, and then quietly they
took their way back to Limon, from
where they departed for their homes
shortly afterwards.
Preston Porter did not seem to realize
the awful punishment he was destined
to undergo AS he had exhibited indlf-
ference to the enormity of his crime,
so he seemed to lack all understanding
of it's terrible consequences. For more
than an hour, while preparations for
his execution were in progress, he stood
mute and sullen among the avengers.
When everything was ready he walked
to the stake with firm step, pausing
as he reached the circle of broken
boards to kneel in prayer. He was al
lowed to take his time. He arose ana
placed his back to the iron stake and
half a dozen men wound chains about
his body and limbs Kerosene oil was
applied to the wood, and after brief
pause Richard Frost, the father OF lit
tie Louise Frost applied a match. For
a moment but a little f1ickering flame
arose. then the oil blazed up, sparks
flew into the air and the wood began to
crackle. Almost instantly the negro's
trousers caught fire. Even though the
flesh must have been scorched, he did
not utter sound. The flames crept
slowly upward on his clothing, and the
sparks flew up in clouds of pale smoke.
Porter turned his head and frightful
expression changed his face With
sudden convulsive tugging he stretched

and one was killed.

OCCUPATION OF MANCHURIA

Possibility of the Allies Pursing the
Chinese Court Into tEe Interior-Re-

| London, Nov. It's a. m.-Uncontirm-
ed statements emanate from Paris and
odessa that secret treaty has been
concluded between Russia and China
for the Russian occupation of Manchu
rita.
There is no fresh news this morning
throwing light on the actual situation.
The Japanese minister in London, who
was interviewed yesterday, limited at
the possibility of the allies pursuing the
Chinese court into the Interior If they
desired, although he said it would be
a long process.
Shanghai sends report that the enl-
press dowager, alarmed at the rising in
Kan Su province, now eontemplates re-
turning to Tai Yuen Flu.
From Hankow comes a report that
General Tung Flu Hsiang is still at Sian
Flu protecting the empress dowagers
that Prince Tuan has fled to Kan Su,
and that the whereabouts of Yu Hsien,
governor of Shan ST, is unknown.
It is said that Prince Ching will be
sent to Germany to apologize for the
murder of Baron Won Ketteler
| "Opinion is strong here" says the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Express wiring yesterday, that the
European commanders are doing more
harm than good by the punitive eXpe-
dtions, which by the destruction of vii
lagos excite the Chinese to execrate the
foreigners, feeling which it will take
century to eradicate.
ut IS perfectly clear that the emper-
or and empress dowages care nothing
because few hundred Cinnamon are
killed; and the allies would be far bet
ter employed in trying to secure the re-
turn of Emperor Kwang Su to Pekin.

DEPENDENTS ATTORNEY ASKS FOR
ITS DISMISS4L.

Declares the Prosecution Has Failed to
Prove That Amy Funds Had Been
Taken From the Bank-The Attorneys
Given Until Next Friday to File
Briefs.
New York, Nov 16.-The case of Cor
nelius l.. Alvord, formerly note teller
of the First National bank, was called
in the United States district court to-
day. Jacob T. Miller, Alvord's attor-
ney, made a motion to dismiss the case
on the ground that the prosecution had
failed to prove that any funds had
been taken from the bank. The judge
asked him if he did not intend making
any defence and he replied that he did
not that the prosecution had proved
no larceny and hence there was no
crime The judge then gave the attor-
neys until next Friday to file briefs of
the case and reserved his decision un-
til that time. He said, however, that
he was inclined to deny the motion.

ATTACK UPON THE KAISRR.
Attempt of Woman to Strike Him
With an Axe.

--N
Breslau. Nov. 16.-As Emperor Will
liam was driving in an open carriage
to the Cuirassier Barracks to-day, ac-
companied by the hereditary Prince or
Sake -Meiningen, woman in the crowd
hurled an axe at the carriage. The wo-
man was Immediately arrested. Her
name is Selma Schnapke. and she is
supposed to be insane. She occupied
place in the front rank of the specta-
tors on the side furthest from the en-
peror. The axe or hatchet was so well
aimed that it actually struck the car
riage
Some of the crowd threw themselves
on the emperors assailant, DUB the
prompt intervention of the police saved
the woman from injury.
The assailant is a tradeswoman cr
Breslau. A provisional medical exam
ination of the prisoner has been made
and she has been pronounced to be in
sane While Emperor William was re-
turning from the barracks to the rail-
road station he was cheered by immense
crowds Of people, who were gathered
along the route.
While the attack upon the kaiser may
not have formed any part Of an inter-
national plot. there Is no doubt that un-
usual anarchist activity is developing
in various countries Of Europe and that
the police are taking exceptional pre-
cautions against it.
The entire line of railway from Buda-
nest to Goeboalloo, where Is situated the
malace of Emperor Francis Joseph, IS
GUARD ID by special police, thing which
was never done before.
