latter's reply was to turn from his
wife and strike the defenseless sufferer
on the head with the hammer he held,
crushing his skull and killing him in
stantly.
In this interval the woman managed
to drag herself out of the house, where
she fell, and when Kahoomanu follow
ed her, evidently bent on killing her
also, she simulated death, holding her
breath while the madman with the
hammer turned her over and examined
her. Evidently believing her dead he
returned inside the house and after
badly mutilating the head of his vic
tim with the hammer, secured a small
butcher knife, and stabbed himself a
number of times He died within half
an hour later in spite of all that ply
sicians were able to do for him.
The woman, although painfully in
jured, will recover.

NEW YORK BOND ISSUE.
Big Syndicate May Take the Whole
Lot.

NEW YIRK, August 27.-The announce
ment that the city Of New York had de-
cided to ask for bids September 10 for
the biggest bond offering ever made by
the city created stir in the financial dis
trict. The bond issue amounts to $40,-
900, 900, and an interest rate Of Az per cent
is offered to investors.
The financial district did not at first
take kindly to the prospect Of such a
heavy demand upon its resources, but re-
ports quickly spread that many of the
leading financial houses had Joined in the
organization of a syndicate to bid for the
entire issue. This restored a feeling of con-
fidence and the various attractive features
of the issue received more consideration.
No definite statement could be obtained
that the leading. bankers had formed a
syndicate to bid for the issue. but 1t was
reported on apparently good authority that
J. P. Morgan & Co. and other financial
houses were identified with the plan.
1t was pointed out that banking inter-
ests realized that a failure of this bond
sale after the interest rate had been adj
vanced to Az per cent would be akin to
disaster. For that reason 1t was conf
dently asserted in many quarters in the
financial district that the city loan would
be q success because leading financiers
realized that 1T had to be a success.
1t is believed that some foreign bankers
may be induced to Join the syndicate, and
this would serve the purpose Of attracting
foreign capital to this center.

tion of the proposed sale the Pittsburg Plate
Glass Company Is to continue the operation

Affairs of Southern Railway.

At meeting Of the board Of directors of
the Southern Railway Company held today
the income account and the results of op-
GRAFTON for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1907, were considered, and a dividend of
~ per cent upon the preferred stock was
declared, payable on October II. 1907, out
OF accumulated surplus, thus making a
total dividend distribution of per cent for
the year. For this purpose there was ap-
propriated a portion of the surplus income
which was carried forward for the year
ended June 80, 1903, after payment Of the
dividends for that year.
In taking this action the directors are
said to have been Influenced by the consid-
Grafton that the income account for the
year reflects such abnormal and extraordi-
nary conditions as may not reasonably be
expected to recur. At the same time the
directors decided. it is reported that under
existing conditions of high prices of sup
plies mate rial and labor. of increasing taxes
and of legislative reduction Of revenue. 1T
was the part of prudence to limit the dis

KILLING OF SEAL PoACHERs.
Report That Japan Has Demanded an
EXPLANATION Not Confirmed.

No confirmation of the report from Toxic
that Japan had called upon the United
States for an explanation of the killing of
five japanese seal poachers by American
guards at the PribiOf Islands could be OBJ
tanned at the State Department today. The
Toxic dispatch says that the Japanese did
not resist arrest and therefore the Ameri-
can guards were not warranted in firing
upon them. This phase of the incident had
been inquired into by the State Department
in expectation Of protest from the Japanese
government. 1t was found that the raid by
Japanese was made under cover of dense
fog and that in this fog the Japanese made
attempts to elude capture. 1t would be i'm
possible to tell, 1t Is said. whether the
poachers became belligerent after they
were discovered. Twelve poachers were
captured by the American guards, and
agents of this government who investigated
the unfortunate occurrence were convinced
that the capture could not have been ef-
fected without resort to force. The entire
matter, SO far as the State Department is
concerned, Is in the hands Of Assistant
Secretary Bacon, who is now in the Cana
dian northwest on a vacation, and the new
representations, If any have been made by
Japan, will be given to him upon his re-
turn.

Civil Service Commissioner McIlhenny is

In he was quoted as emphasizing the 3d-
vantage it would be to many southerncrs
to enter the civil service, and the benefit
that would accrue to the government from
the acquisition of a desirable class of men
from that region of the country. He also
made il plain that the impression general
through the south that the civil service is
closed to men below Mason and Dixons
line is erroneous. The letters which Mr..
Mcllhenny is now receiving, brought out
by that interview, are from men already
holding responsible positions: bank cash
iers. expert bookkeepers, analytical chem
lists and other trained men of the class de-
sired MIR. McIlhenny is greatly encour-
aged and believes that his campaign will
