| Denver, Col, Nov. 1S.--At a mass
meeting held here to-day strong pro-
tests were made against the actions Of

Colorado college, Rabbi Freedman Rev.
Mr.. Coyle, Mrs. Sarah Plattedecker
prominent in national womens club cir
cles, and others They all spoke in
strong terms, condemning what was
termed the "Limon atrocity," and also
denounced the sensational display of
newspaper stories concerning it. The
apdience was stirred at times almost
to riotous demonstrations of approval.
Resolutions adopted admit the diff
Guilty of adequately characterizing the
crime for which Porter was punished,
but declare that, however much the ne
gro by his crime merited death, no
crime can justify recourse to such bar
barrie methods, and that, while the ac-
ton of the people of Lincoln county is
attributed to excitement and passion, 1t
is none the less condemned and discount
tenanced. Hope is expressed that a law
will be speedily enacted in Colorado pro-
viding effective punishment for such
crimes and providing punishment for
any one taking part in lynching.
Governor Thomas in the course of his
remarks said. Il do not believe the peo-
pile of this state are worse than the peo-
pie of any other state. This is as civil
lized a community as any state in the
Union, and in all of them we hear of
occurrences like this when the people
have been suddenly aroused to some
such terrible act, when some such awful
crime as this negros cries to heaven for
vengeance For the agonized parents

Livada, European Russia, Nov 1S.--
Emperor Nicholas, according to the
best information obtainable this morn

slept for some time and felt at ease.
His temperature at p m. was 1Ol.6

ST. Petersburg, Nov. 1S.-The Russian
official world is anxious regarding the
condition of Emperor Nicholas, but
there is a feeling of confidence that he
will recover. A foreign office official
told the correspondent Of The Associat-
ed Press last evening that the bulletins
We're regarded as favorable. He ~llled
attention to the distinction between
typhus as understood in Russia, where
the term corresponds to typhoid in

common, the official pointed out, in all

quently and at close quarters during
the last few months give no credence
to the stories regarding his alleged fee
bleness. They have not observed the
e,1;t ;,,l ;,,i,
from the sabre blow he received in
Japan. They utterly disbelieve the as
sertion, often made abroad, that the
czar is an epileptie.
Considerable surprise is expressed
that his majesty should have contract
ed a disease attributed to tainted nour-
ishment. 1t appears, however, that he
is imprudent in his diet, does not al
ways follow medical direction and often
drinks any water he can get when
walking or driving. The possibility of
his having contracted the disease from
milk is also considered Yet another
source Of typhoid infection In Russia is
quail, there being high medical author
ity for the statement that germs have
been cultured from broiled quails.
The news of the czar's illness is grad
ually reaching the general populace,
and many sympathetic references to
his condition are heard among the peo-
pie of st. Petersburg, who are appar-
emily greatly attached to the person of
the monarch.
Special prayers for his recovery were
offered to-day in the churches of st.
Petersburg, Moscow and Kharkow.

YOUNG UoMAN's TRUNKS SEIZED.
Officials Suspicious That They Com
tained SmuggIed Jeyyelry.

New York, Nov. 18--On the arrival
of the American line steamship New
York to-day a squad Of special agents
of the treasury department and some
secret service men were received on
board and asked to be shown the state
room occupied by a woman, who said
her name was Miss M. Dorrance. She
had left her room when the special
agents reached it and had succeeded in
having her three pieces of baggage
passed. This consisted of two trunks
and large portmanteau all three of
which bore the chalk marks of the GUS
tom house officer who had passed them.
The baggage was again overhauled and
the chalk marks wiped off. Subse-
quently one trunk and the portnen-
teau were sent to the appraisers store
while the other trunk was sent to a
hotel. 1t was said that Miss Dorrancc
had brought in much new jewelry and
about $4,000 worth of unset diamonds
had been sold to her by a Partisan
firm Miss Dorrance declined to dis
cuss the seizure and the officials were
equally reticent.

German National Bank at Newport, KY,
CIOsed-A Panic.

Cincinnati, Nov. 1S-United States
Bank Cashier Tucker to-day took pos
session of the German National bank
at Newport, KY, and posted a notice
that the bank would remain closed
pending an examination. Examiner
Tucker also announced unofficially that
Frank M. Brown, the individual book
keeper and assistant cashier, was miss
ing and that partial investigation
showed that Brown was short about
$201 ,O00 Brown had been with the
bank eighteen years, was one of the
most trusted men ever connected with
this old bank, and it is stated by the
experts that his pecuations extended
back as far as ten years The capital
stock of the bank is only 100000.
Browns alleged shortage is double that
amount and more than the reserve and
all the assets, including their real
estate. The First National bank of
Newport was wrecked two years ago
by Cashier Youtsey, and now with
the German National Bank closed,
Newport has only one bank left. For
two weeks there have been rumors
that Brown was short and some deposi-
tors withdrew their accounts.
Three weeks ago the bank examiners
made a good statement for the bank
and the officers and directors allayed
suspicion by referring to the report of
this examination and to their last state
ment. Last Wednesday Brown left and
it was announced that he had gone
hunting on a vacation. He got a tick
ct for Odin, I'll, but II IS learned now
that he did not go there, and it is gen.
orally believed that he is out of this
country with plenty of money in his
possession. Ii is learned that Brown
was suspended last Tuesday pending an
investigations and the experts have
been at work all the past week while
the officers and directors have been
making announcement that everything
was all right. Last Friday the Off
GERS and directors over their own
names published in the papers of this
city a statement that the bank had
been found to be all right and that the
rumors about Brown were false. They
continued making these statements to
the press as late as last midnight but |

ANNUAL REPORT ON RAwAII.
Favorable Outlook for tho Natives - Im-
ports and Exports.

ports and Exports.
| Washington, Nov. 1S.-The decrease
of the Hawaiian race has been steadily
growing less rapid for the past several
decades, especially the female popula-
ton. according to the annual report Of
ex-President Sanford B. Dole, governor
of Hawaii. The increase of part Ha-
waiians tends to keep down the number
of the pure Hawaians. While the fig
ures show race progress, the census re-
ports as to surviving children are dis
couraging. In both the censuses Of 1890
and 1896 the pure Hawaiian percentages
of survivors was the lowest Of all ma
tionalities represented in the islands.
An encouraging outlook for the Ha-
waiians exists in the fact that out Of
6,s37 owners of real estate in 1896, 1905
were pure Hawaiians and 722 part Ha-
waiians. The facts are significant as
showing the ownership of holdings by
so large number of pure Hawaiians
and the evident tendency Of the race to
acquire homesteads. The ex-president
reports that there is reason to expect
that annexation is going to influence
Hawaiian character very favorably
through the changed conditions effect
ed. Their old dependence on their chiefs
has ceased and they are forced to rely
more upon themselves and their footing
be equal. The political privileges they
enjoy in common with other American
citizens, he says. will tend to educate
them in public affairs. The total valu-
alton of real and personal property in
Hawaii subject to ad yalorem assess
ment in 1900 is $97, ,491, ,5S4. The receipts
from taxes are estimated at $1341, $50.
The commerce of Hawaii is shown for
the period between January and June
IA, 1900, as follows:
Imports, $106S3,51 exports, $14, ,404,-
496; customs revenues, $597,S97. With
the exception of the production of SUI
gar, rice, fire wood fertilizers and live
stock and the promotion of irrigation,
the development Of the natural re-
sources of the Hawaiian islands Is stat
ed to have scarcely begun. Recommen-
dations are submitted for legislation
thoroughly revising the Hawaiian cor
poration laws in view of some deficien-
cies and questionable features in the
same, and new conditions since annex
alton for appointment of various COM
missoners for the protection of food
fishes and provision for education of
children unable to pass the required
medical examinations; for irrigation
legislation and for a general action COW
ering municipal systems. The report
says the present aggregate area of the
public lands is approximately 1,772,713
acres, valued at $3,569,S00.

ROOSEVELT FLAYS VAN WYCK
A ST4TEMENT REGARDING THE
YCE TRUST CHARGES.
The Mayor Accused of Utter fIypocrisy-
Whether the Trust is Proved Legal or
Illegal 1t Can Make No Difference So
Far as His Conduct as Public MAN rs


Albany, N. T., Nov. 1S.-Governoor
Roosevelt has prepared the following
memorandum of the charges against
Mayor Van Wyck of New York city, III
the Ice Trust matter:
"There are three wholly, distinct sldes
to the Ice Trust matter.
"In the first place. there is the gem
eral question whether the American Ice
company, dealing as it does In neces-
sary of life to the poor people OF New
| York was one into which it was prop
er for a public spirited man to enter.
This is, of course, not question tor
| legal action in any shape or form.
Moreover, it is unnecessary to point out
out that whether the corporation Is le-
gal or Illegal, proper or improper IN
character, it is an act of utter hypocrisy
on the part of any public man to de-
nounce the trusts in general and this
trust in particular in the platform and
on the stump, while he, at the same
time, in his private capacity, holds
stock or has held stock in the trust
that he thus denounces.
"Attention is called to this feature
simply because an effort has been made
to show that unless legal action against
the trust or some of it's stockholders
can be taken, these same public men
are eXonerated.
Second: There is the question
whether or not the existence of this so
called ice trust is in violation Of the
antitrust law. This, of course, can
only be decided by the courts.
of
eral instituted proceedings to annul
the certificate of the ice company under
this statute. The corporation, through
its counsel has fought the action at
every stage on technicalities, not on
the merits of the case. The first de-
cision before Judge Chester was in fa-
vor of the state. An appeal has been
taken by the defendants, which was
argued weeks ago and the attorney
general is daily expecting a decision by
the appellate division on this appeal.
The defendants obtained stay of
proceedings pending the appeal All
possible diligence has been shown by
the attorney general in the effort to
secure the annulment of the certificate,
and nothing could have been done by
the state to expedite proceedings,
which has not been done The delay is
due, OF course. to the course of the
corporation itself whose stockholders
include the public men above alluded
to.
1--WE now come to the third side of
the matter; the only one in which the
governor, in his official capacity. has
any power, whatsoever, to act, viz: The
charges against Mayor Van Wyck
"Inasmuch as the question as to
whether the ice corporation is or is not
a trust or monopoly is before the courts
for decision, until they have acted
action by the governor can only with
propriety be taken under section 1888
of the Greater New York charter So
far as the charges are brought under
this section it makes no difference, a s
regards the mayors conduct, whether
the aforesaid corporation is or is not a
trust within the meaning of the law"

PERISH ED IN HOTEL FIRE.
Four Men MT Oswayo, Pa.-Opern House
Also Destroyed.

Cswayo, Pa, Nov. 18.-Four men were
burned to death in a fire which to-day
destroyed the McGonigal house, a three
story frame building, the hotel barn
and the opera house. The three build
ings were burned to the fround in halt
an hour from the time the fire started
The dead are Arthur Fletcher, book
keeper for Penn Stave Co., home in
Boston; Michael Russell, employed by
Penn Tanning Co., Oswayo; William
Mulhany of Rexford, N. Y; Hugh
Jemerson of Alfred, N. Y.
The town has no fire department, the
tannery. The fire originated in the
McGonigal house from over pressure of
natural gas. There were thirty people
in the hotel, which was a flimsy struc-
ture. Two men We're seriously injur-
ed. Otto Kauley, a gas line walker Of
Couderport, Pa, was burned about the
face and arms and Jerry Daley sus-
tained a broken shoulder by jumping
from the third story of the hotel
There We're many narrow escapes, most
of the occupants jumping from the win
dows. The flames licked up the hotel
building as if it were built of tinder.
Nothing remains of the four unfortu-
nate men but few charred bones. One
man had leg broken in jumping and
several others received minor injuries
and S light burns in making the exit
from the building. The tannery en-
ployes connected line of hose to the
burning buildings, but on account of
some trouble with the pump there was
considerable delay in getting a stream
on the fire and the flames had got be-
yond control, The property loss is es
timated at $5O,000.
