Ltt Teams to Te St REVOLUTION IN HAWATI. The Natives Weary of English and American Rulers. Searrie, Wasn., August 25.—Admiral Brown of flag ship Charleston, which has arrived here from Honolulu, expressed the belief in an in- terview that the next steamer from the Ha- waiian Islands will bring news of a revolution and probably of the declaration of # new re- puplie. He said: ‘Hitherto the Hawaiian gov- ernment has been managed largely by Euro- peans and Americans, but educated natives are beginning to feel that they are competent to conduct the Hawaiian government and that the part playod by foreigners in the control of affairs was an unwarrantable interference with their sacred rights. Accordingly the schooled natives have gathered around them a band of followers, daily increasing in strength, who have raised the cry, ‘Hawaii for Hawaiians.’ The revolutionists want the offices at the dis- posal of the government. The malcontents have, in meetings with the Mechanics’ Union, passed resolutions asking that this pa- tronage be given to natives and members of their own party. This request has been ignored by the government. The United States know- ing the unsolid condition of affairs sent the Charleston out there about three months ago to protect our citizens and our interests. Ac- cordingly a good deal of American property has accumulated in the islands, which I was in- structed to protect. During all my stay there matters were becoming more and more per- turbed and an uprising by the revolutionists had actually been planned for August 4. I learned of it on the first day of the month, but we received sailing orders on the second. The news of our intended departure evidently led the revolutionary party te postpone until after we left the execution of their design, but I con- fidently expect to hear by the next advices from Honolulu that there has been an actual outbreak and revolution attempted if not really accomplished.” CHICAGO’S LABOR BATTLE, The Stock Yards Strike is Still On and . but Little Meat is Shipped. Curcaao, August 25.—Nothing défimite has de- veloped in the situation at the stock yards this morning. The receipts of cattle, hogs and sheep are very heavy and Armour is killing a few for the city trade and to fill orders from Boston, Philadelphia and elsewhere. Swift and Nelson Morris are not killing. Their houses have skut down and 5,000 men who went ex- peeting to work this morning were forced to remain idle. There was nothing for them to do. This morning Armour applied for police protection and twenty officers were sent to his house, Morris also received a guard. It is expected that some of the roads will at- tempt to handle some of the fresh meat that is in danger of spoiling. If they do it will prob- ably precipitate trouble. No coal is being handled at the yards today. a Helping Striking Cigar Makers. Bostox, August 25.—The meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union, heid here Saturday evening, was addressed by M. F. Everett of the Bing- hamton striking cigar makers, He stated that 3,000 employes had struck against the “team” system of cigar making and showed that in nghamton the lowest rate of wages paid in the United States had prevailed. ‘The meeting uvanimously adopted resolutions extending cordial sympathy to the strikers and condemn- ing the action of the manufacturers and author- ities in procuring the arrest of the cigar mak- ers’ representatives, Cigar Makers’ Union 97 at its meeting yesterday listened to an expiana- tion of the Binghamton strike by Mr. Everett, The union voted to advance $300 to the strikers. a California Prunes and Raisins.

Merzounye, Angust 25.—The ship owners of Melbourne and syduey, whose business has al- ready been interfered with by the demands of the Seamen's Union, held a conference and ad- dressed a letter to the uuion refusing to em- ploy any officer belonging to the union on the ground that such acourse would be utterly subversive of discipline. The letter added that the average profits of the trade are under 5 per cent and that aya compliance with the de- mands of the men would cutail an annua! loss of £200,000 the only alternative is to lay up the vessels, Non-union labor is abundant in Syd- ney. ee Thanks for Help. Qurxcy, Mass., August 26.-—President Choate of the Oid Colony Railroad Company has written to Mayor Porter of this city expressing to him and the people of Quincy his deep sense of ob- hgatton for the help given in t! ityon the road. ‘The letter concludes: “To you personally, to the city authorities, to the ‘fire- jen who were most prompt and efficient, to the police and to those citizens who have so kindly opened their houses and given their personal attendance to comfort the sufferers, T beg you to extend my hearty thanks in bebalf of the cpmpany. Of course I do not intend to end with mere words of thanks, and would ask you at an carly day to confer with me as to our further actiort.” ————_ The Baltimore and Eastern Shore Road.

Loxpox, August 25.—A cry of incignation has been caused among the poorer classes by the discovery that hundreds of tous of fish aré destroyed weekly at the Billingsgate market in order to enable dealers to keep up an agreed schedule of prices, This wanton destruction af food at & time when ‘ial attention is baring called to the prevalence of starvation in Lendon causes a feeling of horror which ex- tends beyond the limits of the classes must severely affected, The philanthropists are en- deavoring io devise some means of removing the barrier which the ish trast has crected be- tween tho siasying people and nature's bounty. COSTLY MANEUVERS, Recent Accidents to British Ships Will Cost Over a Million, Loxpox, Angast 26,—It is estimated that the accidents to the various war ships during the Teeent naval maneuvers have cost the govern- ment #1,250,000. The evolutions were remark- ably unfortunate in this respect, some of the most extraordinary collisious and other mis- haps occurring, either as the result of inefii- ciency on the part of the men or faults in th construction of the vessels, and, despite the enormous costliness of the maneuvers, the naval journals ridicule the whole affair asa fiasco. No shots were ex: and, in fact, the opposing sections of the fleet did not sight each other during the whole period of their supposed engagement. The critics soverely condemn the admiralty for allo such slovenly work to be done by the fleet, and on every side are heard indignant complaints of corruption in the it is charged bureau of naval construction. that the deterioration noticeable in the service is only the natural and inevitable effect of the system of jobbory. which prevails at head- quarters. The only chance of removing the scandal is declared by many to be to separate entirely the co ive from the operative departments, and to make the acceptance of vessels col by private builders condi- tional upon their success in practical trials gle os~ da EPIDEMIC SMALLPOX. Waco, Tex., Under State Control and Quarantine. ‘Waco, Tex., August 25,--Smallpox prevails to an alarming extent in this city. Upon the request of the mayor Gov.

The St. Paul road is the only line that has not been charged with cutting rates. At present, how- ever, most of the charges are directed against the Kansas City line, It is etated that for the last two weeks an agent of the Milwaukee line had each day purchased a first-class ticket to Chicago of the.Kansas City road for $8.50, This is a cut of €3.

The legislation of 1888 withdrawing lands from sale west of the 100th meridian was so modified that all entries made in good faith up to the time of the passage of this act were vali- dated except entries on reservoir sites which have been selected. The reservoir sites which have been selected are reserved as under the law of 1888, and the reservoir sites neroafter to be selected are reserved from the date of their selection. In the future whenever public lands are occupied by claimants with a view to obtaining title the claimant can obtain title from the government under all the land laws to 320 acres only. Mr. Say (Tex.) and Mr. McRae ‘gag thought that such important legislation shoul receive more careful consideration than could be given it on a conference report.

REPRESENTATIVE WATSON'S DEATH ANNOUNCED, Then Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) rose and said: Mr. Speaker, as I entered the House a few moments before its meeting today it was told me that my colleague, the Hon, Lewis F. Watson, had died suddenly at the Shoreham this morn- ing at 11 o'clock, This, to me, Mr. Speaker, came asa shock. The death of an associate must always come to us as ashock. I bring to the memory of the House the fact that Mr, Watson is the third of the Penn- sylvania delegation who has died during this session of Congress in the city of Washington. Mr. Watson was a gentle- man of high esteem in the portion of the state of Pennsylvania where he resided,a man of great business capacity, a man who had the confidence of the people among whom he lived. He was elected to the Forty-fifth and Forty- seventh and again to the Fifty-tirst Congresses, and had been renominated to be elected in November next to the Fifty-second Congress. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues, like myself, are tecling this with deep sorrow, with great sad- ness, Atafuture time we will ask that a day be fixed to pronounce eulogies on our deceased friend and colleague. RESOLUTIONS, Mr. O'Neill then offered resolutions express- iveof the regret with which the House has heard of the death of the Hon. Lewis F. Wat- son and for the appointment of a committee of seven Representat: 1 three Senators to take order for superintending the funeral, The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Mr. O'Neill asked to be excused from acting on the committee. THE FUNERAL COMMITTEE. The Speaker appointed as the funeral com- mittee Messra, Culbertson (Pa.), McAdoo, Craig, Townsend (Va.), Maish, Wallace (N. Y.) and Kerr (Pa.) ‘The House then, as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, adjourned. DESTITUTION IN OKLAHOMA, A Telegram to Secretary Noble from a Special Land Inspector. Senator Platt, chairman of the committee on territories, today laid before the Senate a letter from Secretary Noble transmitting the follow- ing telegram: Kino Fismen, Oxxa., August 23.—After many days’ house-to-house inspection find fully one- third of people need aid; two-thirds of farmers need secd wheat; inauy now in want of food; no work; nothing to sell; prospects gloomy; extreme south of territory not quite so bad, (Signed) ‘Tuomas J. sWHam, Special Land Inspector. Secretary Noble says that the department has no rosources with which to relieve the destitution, and that its only coursy is to lay the information before Congress, THE NEW SILVER LAW. The Director of the Mint Corrects Some Misapprchensions as to Its Workings. The director of the mint said to a Stam re- porter today: “There seems to be a general misapprehension as to the operations of the new silver law in case the price of silver should advance to parity. Some of the papers state that in such case the gov- ernment will cease buying, while others hold that we will then have free coinage. If silver should reach its old parity the gov ernment would continues to buy 4,500,000 ounces a month (or so much thereof as might be of- d) under the provisions of the presunt law. ‘Tae new law does not provide thut purchases shall cease when silver reaches parity, but that the government shall not pay in excess of 31 for 3713 grains of pure silver, or, what is the same thing. shall not pay in excess of $1.2929 per fine ounce. “The amount of pure silver in the silver dollar being 371)¢ grains, if the government paid $1,2929 per fine ounce (430 grains) it would be paying exactly #1 for 3711/ grains; that is to say, the market value of the pure silver in the silver dollar would be exuctly equal to the face value of the coin, so that the government could lose nothing ge continuing to buy atthat rate, which the law contem- plates, “While this wonld not be free coinage, and in the absence of further legislation there is no provision for free coinage, it would be practi- Cally free colaage Sor 4,806,000 eunces of sliver amonth, that is, we would receive from de- positors 4,500,000 ounces of silver and give them for it the exact amount of money which 4,500,000 ounces would make in coin. Of course, the government could not pay in excess of that rate, because if it did the value of the silver in the silver dollar would be greater than its value as a coin, which would be a losing operation.” THE SOLDIERS’ HOMES, The Board of Managers Explain the Rules Governing Admissions. The response of the board of managers of Na- tional Soldiers’ Home to the Senate resolution calling for information as to the rules govern- ing admissions to the homes was transmitted to the Senate today by the president of the board, Gen. W. B. Franklin. ‘The answer says that it will be observed that the factthat soldier was a pensioner seems to have had no _ bearing on his right to admission to a home. In fact, at first pensioner was considered eligible because he was a pensioner, The law of July 8, 1884, opened the doors of the Home to a vast number of men who had been hitherto excluded and tho result was that the House was crowded. It was therefore determined that hereafter no manager should admit soldiersreceiving a pen- | § sion of more than $16 per month, unless were circumstances that warranted making it an exception to the rule. When the Hause ia full, all pensioners, however meedy, are — or to wait until non-pensioners who are a) —— for admission have been either e rejected. KILLED BY THE FALL, Terrible Death of Robert Oliver, an Aged Carpenter. This afternoon about 2:30 o’clock a carpenter named Robert Oliver, about sixty years old, who lived on B street southwest between and 14th streets, met with a fatal accident while working ona house near 17th and § streets northwest, Ho was one scaffold three stories high, and losing bis balanco he fell to the a distance of Beall st 1uth street was called to ate was but the unfortunate man died in s few minutes: D.6., MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1890, REPRESENTATIVE WATSON DEAD. ‘When About to Ride to the Capitol He Falls to the Floor and Soon Expires. ‘The eleventh death in the Fifty-first Congress occurred today—that of Representative Lewis F. Watson of the twenty-seventh Pr nonsylvania district. The death was startling in its sudden- ness, Mr. Watson has been living at the Shore- ham and until recently seemed quite weil. Mrs. Watson, who had been away during the winter, joined him here a short time ago. A little after 11 o'clock this morning, accompa- nied by his secretary, Mr. C. M. Shawkey, he was about to leave the Shoreham by the iedies’ entrance on H street to take bis carriage to the Capitol, He experienced a sinking feeling, with pain in the region of the heart, and his secretary quickly administered some brandy, which had a temporary effect, but Mr. Watson soon fell to the floor and was carried to the parlor by Mr, Shawkey, Manager Keenan, the Shoreham book keeper, Mr. Addison, and Dr. F. T. Cham- berlin, who ‘chanced to bo near by, and in a few moments expired on a sofa without speak- ing after his fall. The d was ubout seventy years of age, and his death was from apoplexy, Dr. Chamberiin states that the case was similar to that of Senator Beck, whom he attended. A SHOCK TO HIS COLLEAGUES. The death of Mr. Watson was a shock to members of the House, with most of whom he has been on such terms as to amount to per- sonal friendship. He has served three terms in Congress, but his service extends over about twice that length of time, no two of his terms being in succession. During this Congress, for tho firsttime, he was renominated to be his own immediate successor. He was an experienced member and a diligent and faithful worker. For some time his health has been poor and his friends have been anxious about him.

SEPTEMBER EIGHTH WAS ABOTT To BE Fixer,| Even early this morning the chances for a BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, FOR TAKING A YoTE ON THE TARIFF BILL WEEN wR. PLUME oprcTs, When the Senate met this morning Mr. Aldrich presented a resolution in accordance with the agreement between the two parties Providing that the general debate on the tariff Dill shall close on September 3; that from then until the 8th the debate shall be under the five- minute rule, no Senator speaking more than once on one subject, after which the voting shall begin,three hours’ discussion on a side to be permitted, however, just before the final vote istaken. He asked that this be agreed to by unanimous consent The democrats signi- fied throngh their manager, Mr. Gorman, that the agreement was acceptable to them, and all the republicans were satisfied h it except Mr. Piumb, who asked the matter over. In explanation of course he said that some of the most importan’ questions in connection with the tariff bill were yet to be considered, among them the reci- Procity proposition, and he wanted to be as- sured of time to say what he wanted to on sev- eral features of the bill not yet reached. ‘THIS WAS A SURPRISE to everybody and somewhat dismayed both sides. Mr. Aldrich gavo notice at once that if ‘Unanimous consent could not be had to the agreement he would move to embody it in a ebange of rules. Mr. Gorman hoped that no change of rules would be proposed. He thought he could say for the democrats that there would be no ob- jection to the agreement on that side. Ho of the time he wanted, as thero would be no objection to night sessions during the cool weather that is now prevailing. With the prospect that Mr. Plumb would bejplacated the matter fent over until tomorrow. THE ELECTION BILI. This agreement is in accordance with the de- cision of the republican conference that no at- tempt should be made to do anything with the election bill at this session, not even so far as an attempt to fix a date for its consideration and for action upon itat the next session. The course with relation to the election bill at the next session is a matter of agreement between the republicaus themselves meanwhile. THE EXTRA SESSION QUESTION. Whether an extra session will 2e called de- pends upon the judgment of the President, An attempt to change the rales next Decem- ber will require united action by the party, and even then the result will be doubtful NO IRRIGATION SURVEY. The Conferees Settle the Dispute Over the Sundry Civil Bill. Amagreement has been finally reached by the sundry civil bill conferees upon the para- graphs relating to the irrigation and public land survey, the sole subject of dispute be- tweon the two houses for several weeks, For the survey of the public lands the House ap- Propriated £200,000; the Senate increased the amount to $600,000, The conferces fixed it at $425,000, ‘The Senate amendment appropriating $20,000 for additional clerk hire in the office of sur- veyor general is stricken out. For the topographic survey, for which the Tiouse appropriated $200,000 and the Senate $300,000, the conferees agreed upon £325.00. One-half of this sum is to be expended west of the one hundredth meridian of longitude. The Honse item appropriating 720,000 for the irrigation survey is stricken out. An appro- priation of @45,000 for engraving maps of the survey is increased to 000. A COMPROMISE. The chief difference between the two houses was asto the repeal of the law of 1838. pro- viding for the withdrawal of public lands from entry, which the Senate insisted upon. The conferees recommend the adoption of the fol- lowing compromise: And so much of the act oi October 2, 1888, entitled “Au act making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1889, and for other purposes,” as provides for the withdrawal of the public lands from entry. occupation and settlement is hereby re- aled. and all entries made or claims initiated in good faith and valid but for said act shall be recognized and any settlement is validated by this act. No person who shall after the passage of this act enter upon any of the public lands with aview to occupation. entry or settlement under any of the iand laws shail be permitted to acquire title to more than 320 acres in the aggregate. under ail of saidlaws; but this limitation sball not operate to curtail the right of any person who has heretofore made entry or sctilement on the public lands, Provided, that in all patents for lands here- after taken up under any of the land laws of the United States or on entries or claims valid- ated by this act westof the 100th meridian it shall be expressed that there is reserved from | the in said patent described a right of way thereon for ditches or canals coustructed by the authority of the United States. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THR TAX ON BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS, July 30 last Mr. John Joy Edson, the secre- tary of the Equitable C.B Association, in a Jetier to the Commissioners stated that a bill | had been rendered against the association for tax asa corporate institution, and that is will be rendered against other mutual | building and joan associations, Senator Faulk- ner submitted a letter to the Commissiouers in connection with the above covering the legal aspegts of the case, in which he held that it was not the intention of Congress to cbarge such associations with taxation any more than it was saving banks and other similar institutions, The papers in the case, at the suggestion of the association, were submit- ted to the attorney for the District, who today rendered an opinion holding that this tax and a like tax upon other associations of this kind be cancele: The Commissioners will con- ler the matter in board session upon Com- miseioner Dougiass’ return.

In the House today Representative Queen of New York offered for reference the following resolution: Resolved, that the committee on the judici- ary be instructed to inquire and report by bill or otherwise what legisiation within the province of the federal government may be proper and necessary to prevent corporations engaged in intersiate commerce 0 from employing unjustifiably large bodies of armed men denominated “‘detect- ives,” but clothed with no legal functions, the employment of such so-called “detectives” operating at the city of Albany and other es, a8 recently demonstrated, to place the ives of peaceable aud inoffending citizens at the mercy of persons acting without legal au- thority, direction or respoxsibility, and to the grcat injury and detention %f interstate com- merce, XN.

The 4 ofthe Atkinson bill is worth €20, to the Pennsylvania railroad; and the rich eon- tingent fee to the lobby to be obtained from this plum as well as the big percentage got by the lobby upon the present lavish expenditure of money made in behalf of the job, accounts for the pertinacity with which this bi to the front. if a7? JOY IN MILES CITY, Can Insist on High License. The municipal authorities of Miles City, Mont., have received much comfort officially from the Census Office. It has been noised abroad im Miles City that the census enumerators had only succeeded in finding 979 residents within the corporate limit. The suthorities and citizons had not expected that the results of the census would show that there were many more people than that in the town. Bat they were antious that there should be at least 1,000 inbabitants and they fally expected that the Census Office would easily fiud that num- ber. They had no desire to have ax many or even more citizens than Chicage or the other big cities, Their ambition did not run in that direction. All they wanted was a of a thousand or more, #o that they could avail themeclves of the provisions of the state jaw = which provides that a low liquor license shail prevail in towns of lees than one thoussnd inhabitants aud a bigh li- cense in towns above that limit, What the city fathers of Miles City were after was teve- nne, and when the Census Office announced that one thousand and twenty-one persone had been counted as resident within the city limite there was great joy at Miles City.
