HOPE FOR L|UUOKALAN|
GEN. McCoOK SAYS HER CLAIM
WILL BE SETTLED.
lie Is Close to Mark Hanna, ana Is
Assumed to Speak with Authority
McCooS Formerly Here.

SAN FRANCtSCO, June 27.-General
Edward NJ. MCCOok, a member of the
famous fighting McCook' family, who
is now a guest of Charles IL. Blinn at
1885 Post street, is of the opinion that
as soon as the coming election is over
and President Mckinley is settled for
another term of four years, the admin
istration will take up the crown lands
claims of Liliuokalani, the eX-queen of
Hawaii, and settle with her for hand
some sum. AS General McCook is
known to be warm personal friend OF
Senator Mark Hanna and close to the
administration, the friends of the de-
posed queen are much comforted by the
assurances he has given.
The interest taken by General Nc
Cook in the affairs of Hawaifs eX-
queen are due to the fact that he was
the first minister accredited by the gov
eminent of the United States to the
Hawaiian court in 1866, and during his
term negotiated the first treaty of com
mercial reciprocity. During his resi-
dence in Honolulu his firm attitude to-
ward the threatened British encroach-
ment on Hawaii undoubtedly saved this
government from some very unpleasant
diplomatic complications with Eng
land.
General McCook entered the federal
army in 1860 as a private in the Kansas
Legion, and after a brilliant career of
five years, rose to the rank of brigadier
general. He was twice appointed by
President Grant as governor of the then
territory of Colorado and there organ
lied a school system and an immigra-
ton board that was instrumental III
development Through his personal eff
forts the first railroad was built into
Denver. He was the first advocate of
woman suffrage After his second term
as governor of Colorado General Nc
Cook declined the portfolio of postmas-
ter general, rendered to him by Presl-
dent Grant.

sHARKEY KNOCKED OUT.
Gus Rubin, the Akron Giant, Does the
Trick.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Coached by
former champion Corbett, and display
ing remarkable fighting ability him
self, Gus Rubin, the Akron Giant,
upset all calculations tonight when he
knocked out Tom Sharkey the noted
sailor pugilst, in the fifteenth round at
the Seaside Athletic Club at Coney
Island. More than 5000 spectators went
to the arena expecting to see Sharkey
make a chopping block of Rubin, who
was knocked out in a punch by the
sailor two years ago. Rubin fought
Sharkey with beautiful judgment. He
met the sailors rushes, which were al
ways in evidence, with straight letts.
These blows bruised the sailors face
beyond recognition, and so blinded him
that he was virtually helpless when
Rubin knocked him down the first time
in the fifteenth round.

IS IT RIGHT
For An Editor to Recommend Patent

CFrom Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,
n. c.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right 10
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel 1t a duty to say a good word
for Chamberlain's Collie Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine in our family
for twenty years, and have always
found 1t reliable. In many cases dose
of this remedy would save hours of suf-
fering, while a physician is awaited.
We do not believe in depending i'm
plicitly on any medicine for a cure, but
we do believe that if bottle of Cham
berlain's DiarrhOea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
ton of an attack much suffering might
be avoided, and in many cases the
presence of a physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by all dealers and
