REPUBLICANS ON CHARTER.
Passed the Whole Matter to Their
Executive Committee.


The special meeting of Republican
district committeeman which was held
last night for the purpose of determin-
ing what action that party should take
upon the matter of framing a charter,
brought out less than a quorum. l.. l..
McCandless was opposed to the Repub-
licans meeting with the Independents
and Democrats. He wanted the char
ter nOn-partisan so that the Republic
cans in the Legislature would not be
bound by it. Lorrin Andrews took a
similar view.
James H. Boyd, DR.. Burgess and sew
eral others favored uniting with the In
dependents and Democrats. The mat
ter was finally disposed of by passing
the question to the executive commit
tee, which was done in the following
resolution offered by w. c. Achi.
1T is the sense of this meeting that
the Executive Committee of the Re
publican party of Hawaii decide and
declare for itself and the Republican
party in the matter of framing a NUM-
cipal charter without any further con-
ference in reference to the same"

Detectives connected with the

TRAIN ROBBER KILLED.
Messenger Baxter Shoots One and
His Partner Skips.

i
| Council Bluffs, Oct. 4.--Lying at the
morgue in this city, with bullet
| through his heart, is man, power
| fully built, black hair, mustache,
about 6 feet tall, aged apparently 4j
years. He was one of tw, men who
held up the Kansas City passenger
train on the Burlington road, three
miles south of this city, at midnight.
Express Messenger Charles Baxter
killed him.
Two men boarded the train at the
Union Pacific transfer station and
climbed over the tender just as the
train wa, crossing the Moquito creek
bridge. Engineer Donnelly and Frank
Holman, fireman, who were in charge
of the engine, were ordered to slow
up as soon as the train had crossed
the bridge. While the now dead man
held revolver on the engine crew
his companion went back and cut off
the baggage and mail cars, leaving
the day coaches and sleepers standing
on the main line.
Acting under orders, the engineer
pulled the train half a mile down the
track, where stop was made. Here
the robbers approached the express
car and ordered Messenger Baxter to
open the door. He refused to do So
Under oompulsion, Engineer Donnelly
attached n stick of dynamite to the
side of the door and blew it open.
In the meantime Messenger Baxter
seized his guns and escaped from the
door on, the opposite side of the car.
As soon as the door was opened, one
of the robbers entered the car, while
his comranion marched the engineer
and fireman back to the engine. Bax-
ter crept around in front of the en-
CINE, and seeing one of the robbers
keeping guard over the engine crew,
fired one shot, killing him instantly
AS soon as the shot was heard the
ground and fled through a cornfield.
The dead man was picked up, placed
on board and the train was backed
into the city. The body was searched
but nothing could be found on it by
which it could be identified. 1t was
dressed in a neat suit of black clothes
over which overalls and jumpers had
! been drawn. In the pockets were
found about SIS in money ana
watch and chain.
The door of the expires; car was
badly shattered by the explosion of
dynamite. The robber inside the car
| was preparing to blow the safe at the
time his companion was killed. He
ceased operations at once, and no
damage was done to the contents of
the car, nor was anything taken.

HOPE FOR UNITED ACTION.
England Believes an Understanding Is
Now in sight.

London, Oct S.-Thanks to Ger
many's withdrawal of her first note
and the substitution for it of COM
promise, there is a general impress
sion in England that basis of unir-
ed action by the powers is now in
sight. That such a satisfactory stage
has been reached through Lord Sails.
bury's following Americas lead is
ignored by the English papers, which
have not yet grasped the fact that
the present German action is a direct
consequence of Lord Salisburys re-
fusal to become a party to the sug-
gestion that the surrender of the
guilty Chinese officials must be pre-
cedent to the peace negotiations.
Great Britain, it is farely safe to say,
will now never formally answer Ger
many's first note, but her informal
answer, as cabled by the Associated
Press, had perhaps a greater effect
on the negotiations than any recent
circumstance, besides making the con-
tinental plan for working independ-
emily of the United States unfeasible.
1t can now be announced that the
information Of the Associated Press
on this subject, which was so disbe-
iieved at the time on the continent,
and which was the subject of so
many denials. was secured direct from
the British government and it was
even more official than the official
equivocations which, in the interests
of international harmony were issued
subsequent to the dispatch of the AS
sociated Press.

Peculiar LIQUOR Cases.

Sioux City, Oct. 6.-Judge Wake
field has returned from Onawa, where
he listened to the evidence in two
peculiar injunction cases. Mrs. /. n.
Holman lives on what is known as
Holman's island, in the Missouri river.
Formerly this was a small peninsula,
but the tickle Missouri cut through
the neck and left the piece of land
stranded. For some time liquor has
been sold from barges moored to the
south side of the island. Mrs. Hol-
man now asks that the nuisance be
abated. The defendants allege, how,
ever, that they are doing business in
the state of Nebraska and are not
subject to the injunction statute OF
Iowa. They do not attempt to show
that they have not been selling liquor
The peculiar actions or the Missouri
channel are responsible for the mix
up. Written arguments are to he
submitted to Judge Wakefield before
he renders his decision.

HEAVY FIRE AT FORT DODGE.

FortDodge, Oct 3.-Fire was start
ed in the Oleson Drug company's store
by an explosion of a can of carbolic
acid. The blaze was quickly commun-
icated to the oils and paint stock, and
for time the three story block, one
of the finest in the city, was threat
ened with entire destruction. The ele-
vator shaft communicated the fire
and smoke to the second and third
stories so quickly that some women
were imprisoned in living rooms on
the third floor, and were rescued
from the balcony by firemen. 1t re-
quired an hour and half to get the
fire under control, by which time the
$4,000 stock was almost totally ruined
by fire, smoke and water. The build
ing was damaged $1,000. The insur-
ance is about $4,000 on stock and
S2S,000 on building.

Gilbert NJ ust Quit.

Mason City, Oct. 3.-Local sports
will regret that Fred Gilbert of Spirit
Lake, Iowa, champion shot of the
world, will have to give up shooting
for time at least, as the continued
shock at each discharge has badly
bruised his arm and shoulder, which
is one mass of bruises. One reason
for the bad condition of Mr.. Gilbert's
arm may be found in the heavy charge
which he shoots-his ordinary load
consisting of 31s drains of powder and
IA ounces of shot, the ordinary load
being 3 drains of powder and ounce
of shot When he is shooting Mr..
Gilbert fires about 300 slots a day,
and this constant pounding injured
him.

The plan of a commercial alliance
between Germany and Great Britain
to fight the United States would be ad-
mirable except that Germany and
Great Britain would then each want
another alliance with somebody else
to fight Germany and Great Britain
respectively. An alliance between Ger
many and the United States to fight
Great Britain. or between the United
States and Great Britain to fight Ger
many would likewise be good thing
if each party to the alliance could be
assured that somebody else would
come along and help it whip the other
party.

THE END FELT TO BE NEAR.
Crisis seems to be Approaching in the
Anthracite strike.


Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-Yesterday'e
tecision of the, independent coal on
orators to offer 10 per cent increase
in wages to the striking mine work
ers is regarded throughout the an
thracite region as the beginning of
the end of the strike Nearly all the
individual operators today made an
nouncement of their willingness ia
grant the increase, and notices posted
to this effect will, it is expected, be
posted at the various independent col
lieries today. Some have already been
posted. 1t is fully believed that the
few independent operators who have
not yet expressed their intention on
the subject will fall in line with the
Others and grant the increase. .
According to some of the operators,
powder will be sold to the miners ut
S1.5O per key, instead of $275. as here,
tofore charged, but the reduction will
be taken into considerations in figur-
ing the net 10 per cent advance.
No other concessions to the strikers
are limited at, and, in fact. it has
been openly declared by some of the
officials of the big companies that no
further concessions will be granted.

Independence, Oct. 6.-The case Of
smallpox which this city contributed
last winter has proven a very expen-
sive guest. The board of health hired
DR.. j. H. McGready to care for the
case, and allowed his bill of $500. The
board of supervisors in acting upon
it cut the amount of charges in two.
The case was carried to the courts,
and Judge Platt ordered the jury to
find for the physician on the ground
that the board of health has author
tty to employ a physician and fix his
compensation and the board of SUI
pervisors could not reduce the amount
allowed. This brings the total cost
of the case to 81 800

sian capital, that the Chinese feet in
Formosa strait attempted to engage
the Russian armored cruiser Rurik
but the latter's speed frustrated the
plan.
The correspondent says it is prob.
| able that the allied squadrons will
force the Chinese fleet to capitulate
or will destroy it.
Shanghai kilograms announce that
the imperial edict dated September
80, ordering the court to be removed
to Sing Nan. was issued owing to the
famine at Tai Yuan Flu, capital Of
the province of Shan ST. They also
express the opinion that the object
of the recent edicts regarding the
degradation of Chinese personages
of high rank is merely to gain time
and enable China to be in better
position to defy the powers, as the
new capital will be virtually inacces-
sible from the coast.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Morning Post, discussing this aspect
of the case, remarks:
"The German troops have no means
of transport, and any attempt to fol.
low the Chinese court would therefore
| be quite futile"
He says that the Chinese firmly be.
lieve in the existence of Russo
German agreement, under which Rus
STA will take all the territory north
of the great wall, and Germany the
provinces of Chi Ii and Shan Tung.

fammatory edicts are being issued
secretly, and that the recent public
edicts are only intended to hoodwink
the powers"

Sioux City, Oct. 6.--John Brennan,
an Irishman of national reputation,
died suddenly at his home in this city

another room, where his wife found
him few minutes later sitting in a

become a successful lawyer. He was
a man of wonderful eloquence. The

HAY WINS GREAT VICTORY
Settlement of Chinese natter on
His Lines Likely.

Washington, Oct. Favorable
news has reached Washington from
the European chanceliories indicating
that complete agreement as to China
is within sight. The agreement will
be on the basis of the propositions
laid down by Secretary Hay in his
note of July 3 and the subsequent
notes treating of that subject The
accord of Russia with the United
States is more complete than was an
ticipated at first and the reports show
that all of the European nations prob
ably are placing themselves in posi-
ton to take advantage of the opening
made by the United States and soon
will be ready to begin negotiations
for settlement with the Chinese gov
ernment. The Russians already have
given notice of such purpose and while
the text of the French note on this
subject has not reached the state de-
partment, the officials are satisfied
that this is correctly reported and
that France, like Russia, is ready to
negotiate at once.
AS for Germany, either the position
of that government has been misun-
derstood or it has sustained change
of mind. Possibly the former is the
case, but, however that may be, it is
quite certain from the advices which
have reached Washington today that
the German government, upon care
full inspection of the plans for a set
Element projected by the United
States, finds therein nothing inconsist-
ent with the German aspirations.
Therefore, it may be expected that
Germany, too, will be prepared soon
to join in this common movement
toward settlement. 1t may be stat
ed that altogether the prospects of an
adjustment of the Chinese difficulty
without resort to formal war are very
much brighter than they were one
week ego.

INGRATITUDE OF A GIRL.
Placed Strychnine In the Food of Her
Employers Family.

Ottumwa, Oct. 5.--A twelve-year-old
colored girl of this city placed a large
quantity of strychnine in a jar of
club house cheese with the intention
to kill her employers family, and
now shows no repentance of the deed.
Emerald Hamilton has been in the
employ of W. L. Sargent, prominent
druggist of this city, for our months.
She was charged with larceny and
confessed. She was discharged, but
before she left the house managed 70
place fifteen grains of strychinine,
which had been used to poison rats,
in jar of club house cheese. The
Sargent family partook of the cheese
for supper, but Mr.. Sargent's techni-
cal knowledge showed him at once
that the food had strychnine in it.
He promptly prepared emetics and
gave it to the others, with the result
that all recovered. The girl confessed
her guilt and was taken to the re-
form school.
