As telegraphed*to The Star yesterday, the general assembly, K. of L., in session at Philadelphia, stood by Powderly, who was re-elected general master workman. The vote, as reported, was: T. V. Powderly, 26; Jas. R. Sovereign, 19; Henry McBride, 1 As the telegraphic report in yesterday's Star announced, the financial committee exonerated the officers from the charges of dishonest; Fi ces of the Order. The report of the finance committee for the year ending June 30 says: “Our receipts have averaged about $1,000 per week and the expenditures slightly in excess of the same, demonstrating that retrenchment in some direction is imperative. The prin- cipal sources of expense have been the sal- aries of the general officers and general executive board, the printing department and the general secretary-treasurer's office. There is no evidence to show dishonesty upon the part of any officer, but we are forced to admit that in some instances loose business methods have prevailed. “Regarding the charges of the general secretary-treasurer against the executive officers we submit the following: On Feb- ruary 28, 1803, the so-called trust funds of the order, viz. the benefit insurance, Coeur a’. Homestead and H. F. Demp- sey funds, amounted to a total of $3,118.08. The total cash on hand was $2,856.00, show- ing that up to date $261.97 of the trust funds had been applied to the general ex- penses of the order. These funds, together with the receipts from all sources, con- ‘CH (tinued to be used for the purpose to the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1893, on which date the balance on hand amounted to $426.30."" Concerning the charges of extravagant and fruitless expenditure of money by members of the general executive board, the committee present a tabulated state- ment of the finances to show that the charges were not well founded. With the unanimous adoption of this re- port the morning session closed. The afternoon session, says today’s Phila- delphia Times, began with the offering of a resolution declaring Messrs. Powderly, A. W. Wright and Devlin innocent of the charges made by Hayes. This created even a greater sensation and more disturbance than the debate over the report of the finance committee. In this fight parliamentary tactics were predominant. The resolution was first laid on the table, then taken from the table and finally forced to a vote. It was defeated by a substantial majority. Regarded in a Different Light. The Inquirer account, however, puts an entirely different face upon this action. it says: As soon as the report was presented Chairman Bishop of the finance commit- tee introduced a fesolution declaring all the offices vacant. This said that while the charges of dishonesty had not been proven, it was in the interest of harmony to have a vote on the question. At the same time Mr. McBride, one of the anti- introduced another de- claring confiden¢ge in the officers and stat- ing that there was no lack of harmony among the members of the board. Had the latter carried it would have been impossible to turn down Mr. Hayes, so Powderly’s friends promptly defeated it. Then the first resolution was carried. The Board Condemned. The Times continues: A resolution was adopted condemning the action of the ex- ecutive board for its misuse of the funds appropriated for the benefit of the Coeur d'Alene, Homestead and New York Central strikers ahd using the names of the order to further other private enterprises. A motion was then made to declare all the general offices vacant and carried amid great excitement. Then a motion was made to proceed to the election of officers the first hour of to- day’s session. An amendment to proceed and elect forthwith was offered. During the yituperative debate on this amendment Powderly exclaimed: “I cannot stand the abuse of delegates.” He therewith left the chair and called Henry McBride to take his place. The point was made that the time for re- cess had arrived, an hour of extension that had been granted already expiring, and that consequently the election could not Jegally be held. Chairman McBride ruled against this point. The opposition say that at this point they were trapped, as they had played for a delay and not expecting a vote a number of their adherents upon the motion to adjourn had left the build- ing. ‘The vote being taken resulted in Powder- ly’s re-election by a majority of plurality, and adjournment followed. Before they left the hall the delegates dis- cussed this coup de force with great ex- citement. An adherent of Hayes said: “Outwitted! Too much confidence in yes- terday.” ‘he other side said: “We knew all along we would have our way, and we will win out.” e+ Coleman, the California Pioneer, Dend Wm. T. Coleman, an old pioneer and merchant prince of San Francisco, who contributed a great deal to building up the metropolis of the Pacific coast, died yes- terday morning, aged sixty-nine years. Mr. Coleman was the head of the com- mercial house of Wm. T. Coleman & Com- pany, the failure of which created such a sensation in 1886. Coleman became dis- tinguished in the early fifties as the head of vigilance committees which were organ- ized to down bands of murderers and rob- bers who terrorized the city. In 1884 the New York Sun brought him into promi- nence by urging his nomination to the presidency by the democracy. +o- The steel twin-screw steamer City of Lowell, built for the Norwich and New York Transportation Company, was_suc- cessfully launched from the yards of the Bath, Me., iron works Tuesday morning 2 the presence of a large number of peo- ple. | Kauaii and Molokai. |can magazine, TO ADVERTISERS. ‘Advertisers are urgently re- Quested to hand in advertisements the day prior to publication, in order that insertion may be as- sured.

THE ISLANDS AND PEOPLE DESCRIBED, Their Claims for the Protection of Our Flag. AN INTERESTING RECITAL. Ex, United States Minister John L. Ste- vens gave a lecture last evening in a ly- ceum course at West Somerville, Mass., to a crowded audience, on Hawaiian affairs. Before beginning his address he remarked that during his thirteen years’ service as United States minister, under five Presi- dents, he had invariably refused to recog- nize political parties in his own country, that on all questions involving his action he had known the United States as a unit, believing that in our foreign relations our policy should be national and continuous, always with united front to our foreign rivals. He had firmly refused to consider the Hawaiian question a partisan question in any sense. If others saw fit to make it so, they did so on their own responsibility. Mr. Stevens then went on io say: “Our interest in Hawaii appertains to at least three questions, more or less distinct from each other, though they cannot be con- sidered entirely separate. “There is the question of Christian civill- zation, there is the question of American future commercial power in the Pacific, and | the third involves the issue of responsible government under the American flag, in harmony with pledged American faith, the | best American antecedents, and the plain logic of American history and American opportunities. lue of Hawaii. |. “What is the intrinsic value of the Ha- walian group? What are their resources, how much civilized population can they sustain, and what are and can be her figures in the American commercial world? The islands are of volcanic formation, hav- ing been thrown up by internal fires many centuries ago, and around them floats one of the most genial climates of the world. They have an area of 6,400 square miles, | ebout the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island united. The chief value of the group is in the five islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Well governed and well cultivated they are capable of sustain- ing a population of a half million souls. They are adapted to the production of | sugar, coffee, bananas, rice, oranges, lemons, pineapples, and Indian corn, and the high- lands to the raising of cattle, horses and sheep. Though sugar is now the leading product, the amount of lands capable of producing coffee of a superior quality is believed to be larger than that devoted to | sugar culture. An important consideration relative to coffee culture is that it can be done by small farmers, not necessarily re- quiring large holdings and much combined capital, as does the raising of sugar. The increase of freeholders, farmers and fruit cultivators is the aim of the present pro- visional government, which has resolved to cut up the crown and government lands and dispose of them to men of limited means, who wish to make for themselves perma- nent homes and become responsible citizens on American lines of development. Under the monarchy these crown lands were leas- ed out, often to palace favorites, at much less than their real value, and not unfre- quently were the means of political cor- ruption. Which of these two policies shall be maintained as to dealing with these lands, is of great importance to the future of the islands.” < . . . . . After Kalakaua’s Defeat. “While Kalakaua was facile and good na- tured, he had never assented to the consti- tution in good faith. He sought opportuni- tles to change it and to regain his lost power. Dying in January, 18%, his sister by his appointment became the sovereign. She had strongly disapproved of her broth- er’s assent to the reform constitution of 1887. She was known to have been in the Wilcox plot and armed revolt of 1889, for the over- throw of the constituticnal government.

Liliuokalant’s Overthrow. “Scorning the opinions and advice of all the best men of the islands, both of her own race and the whites, she finally united her | political fortunes with the opium ring, and those who were leagued to carry through the legislature a sweeping lottery charter of the Louisiana type, which, if its origina- tors could have been successful in their plans, would have given the palace adven- turers, the opium ring and the lottery gang complete control of the Hawaiian govern- | ment and made Honolulu not only a secure opium depot, but a strong fortress from which the lottery men could prey on the American, Canadian and Australian peopie. Deep in the conspisacy to remove the Wil- cox-Jones ministry, whom all the best men of the islands wished to continue, she signed the lottery and opium bills, appoint- ed to her cabinet the men who had been the chief pafties in bribing the lottery bill through the legislature, immediately fol- lowed by her attempted coup d'etat, call- ing a worthless mob of retainers to her as- sistance and trying to proclaim a constitu- tion giving herself arbitrary power, over- turning an incorruptible and capable su- preme court and giving to herself the ap- pointment of new judges, with the final appeal to herself. “This was Saturday, that hour the Hawaiian monarchy was abso- lutely dead, and no restoration is possible except by the exercise of some outside and foreign force. “At the date of her downfall the mis- guided and unworthy Liliuokalani was without sympathy and aid of the best of the native Hawaiians and of all the re- spectable and responsible white residents of the islands.

This agent before embark- ing for Washington made sure of a large advance fee of thousands of dollars, which the fallen queen paid out of her own purse, and he thought it might help his case by the vse of the utterly baseless statement that the United States minister and naval commander had deprived Liliuokalani of her throne, and Claus Spreckles, who wants @ weak Hawaiian monarchy for his tool, though he was 2,000 miles away when the queen fell, sees fit to repeat this absurd story of the queen’s lawyer, who happens to be one who had formerly served Spreckles in California, and whom the un- scrupulous sugar king makes use of in Hawaii. Claim for Admission. “In presenting themselves for admission into the American Union. The islands come under more American aspects than any of our previously annexed states or territories, as the facts I have just stated abundantly attest. Why should they not be permitted to come under the flag so deeply loved in the islands? A recent writer in an Ameri- a man of European birth and education, and of more or less sympa- thy with his native fatherland, and who does not seem to be animated by American sympathies, objects to the annexation of the islands for the reason that there were in 1890 but 1,920 Americans living upon them. He is evidently unacquainted with the real facts, else he intentionally states a truth | in a way to utter an untruth. “It is literally correct to say, that ac- cording to the Hawaiian census tabies of 1890, there were then but about 2,000 per- sons residing in Hawaii who were born in the United States. But in addition to these a large part of the 7.500 born on the is- lands of foreign parentage and put down as Hawaiians, are of American parentage, and they make an important portion of the American colony. They were educated in American ideas and sentiments. their lead- ing men being graduates of American schools and colleges.

It was first made by the British minister |at Honolulu, a tory in his political views, many years a resident in Hawail, a persis- tent antagonist of American interests, and by personal bonds and family relations strongly attached to the fallen Hawaiian monagchy. Immediately after its organiza- tion in January last, he urged this plan on |the provisional government.

The lottery and opium rings, of which the fallen queen’s lawyer |is believed to be the agent. favors the plan. While the ultra Tory English and the Can- adian Pacific railroad have purposes in view other than those of the fallen queen and the lottery and opium rings, they are as to the method of defeating an- nexation. “The ex-queen’s attorney has often been the paid agent of Claus Spreckles, and the January 14.

The Cana- | dian Pacific railroad is a great power in | Canadian politics, and in the past has used | vast bribes to accomplish its designs, and | Wants to have its foot and hand firmly in | Hawaii. Claus Spreckles is a very rich man,holds money to be the chief power in politics, and would pay out enormously to keep the sugar planters of the islands under his | grinding monopoly, to restore his prestige |lost by the fall of the monarchy, and to | carry out his scheme to make the island an outside field, mainly for cheap Asiatic labor and raw sugar production. He would carry out his threat to load his steamers and out vote the provisional government by jan extensive colonization. The powerful | Pacific opium ring with its ramifications in British Columbia, California, Hong Kong, and Honolulu, wish to make a sure depot in Hawaii from which they can operate in their vast field, which they could not do with United States authority established in the islands, which might | overcome seven-eighths of the property holders and permanent residents, and all of the really responsible men of the islands the men who have made them what they are, and on whom their future welfare de- pends. “The respectable citizens of the islands do not believe in wholesale bribery, and the | importation of voters, and should they even take into consideration such a method of accomplishing their wishes, they could not | fail to see that Spreckles, with his millions, the opium and lottery rings, and the ultra- Britishers in Canada and England, could throw into the contest a bribery fund which they could not and would not try to equal. It is, therefore, obvious that the plebicitum scheme has been devised as the most sure to result in striking down Ameri- can civilization and American interest in the islands, flooding them with an Asiatic population, and ruthlessly sacrificing what the American board, the American mission- aries, and the American teachers have ac- complished in seventy years. . . . . |_“It was less than ten years after Asa | Thurston and associates sailed from Boston around Cape Horn to help rescue Hawaii |from barbarism and to plant there an | American colony, when the people of the | United States were deeply stirred by the (efforts of the Turks to crush new-born Greece, It was in the forenoon of Henry Clay’s fame as an orator that he made his stirring appeal in behalf of an imperiled (people, and it was then that Dr. Samuel G. | Howe of Boston went to Athens with Amer- ican contributions to aid in this struggle of Christian civYization against the Turk. |The aroused public sentiment of the world | finally compelied the leading nations to go to the rescue of the suffering Greek: Some of you remember when Hungary, w der the mighty inspiration of Kossuth and | Deak, sprung to arms as an emancipated people, and how she was finally crushed to the earth by a coalition of Russia with Austria.

You remember how our American Schuyler and the teachers and students of the American Roberts College at Constan- tinople by their sharp pens and burning periods aided in this successful effort to rescue the Bulgarians from the abuses and crimes of Turkish officials.

Chief Weigher Cochran of the Philadelphia Mint Convicted of Lar« ceny. é Ex-Chief Weigher Henry S. Cochran, twenty-four years an employe of the Phila- delphia mint, was tried and found guilty yesterday in Philadelphia of larceny and embezzlement in taking $130,000 worth of gold bars from a vault in the mint. The discovery was made when $16,000,000 in gold bars was reweighed on Septemb@ 4 last, and suspicion was attracted to Coch- ran by his inexplainable anxiety. He sub- sequently made a confession and partial restitution. These facts were presented by counsel for the government, who attempted to offset the claim that Cochran was insane by presenting the statements of three phy- sicilans who examined him and reported that he was in his right mind. There was no defense presented by Coch- ran’s counsel, but a number of witnesses were heard, including Superintendent of the Mint Bosbyshell, M. H. Cobb, chief clerk of the mint and Chief Drummond of the Secret service, so that the facts might be placed on record to guide Judge Butler im imposing a penalty. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty without leaving the box. Sentence was de- THE MICHIGAN BACK AGAIN, Given a Royal Welcome at Erie, Where She Was Launched in 1843. Fift¥ years ago yesterday the United States ship Michigan was launched in Erie bay, and yesterday the event was cele- brated by the vessel's return to port from her summer's stay at Chicago. According to the program, the ship was not to ap- proach Erie till 2 o'clock, when the flotilia of the port was to meet and escort the an- cient craft in amid salves of whistles and the booming of cannon from Garrison Hill. The stress of weather forced Capt. Barry to make port as soon as he could, and he arrived at 11 a. m. Maj. Tipon, command- ing the Soldiers and Sailors’ Home, parad- ed the able-bodied inmates, and fired a national salute, which was acknowledged from the ship. Yesterday afterngon a committee of citi- zens with a band boarded the ship, when Mr. Benjamin Whitman of the Pennsylva- ria world's fair commissioners made the add: of welcome, which was responded to by Capt. Berry. It is stated in naval circles that a new cruiser is to be built at Erie to take the place of the ancient sidewheel warship. GERMANY’S ARMED CAMP, It Will Be Constructed on the Bele gian Fronti The decision of the German government to construct a large entrenched camp at Malmedy, on Germany's Belgian frontier, has caused much comment in Brussels and in Paris. Germany has assured Beigiuth that the Malmedy works are intended pri- marily for an exercise ground and cannot possibly be regarded as a menace to Bel- gium’s neutrality. The Paris dailies, with a single exception, maintain that Germany has the darkest designs upon Belgium, and urge the Bel- gian government to make a formal protest against the construction of the camp. In case Belgium refuses to do this they say she must be regarded and treated as an enemy of France and a secret ally of Ger- many. The French government is believed to hold the views expressed by the Paris press. The situation is a delicate one for Belgium and contains several elements of trouble. The Town of Malmedy. Northeast of Stavelot, in a pretty basin of the Warche, lies the Prussian town of Malmedy, the capital of a Walloon district which formerly belonged to the independent Benedictine Abbey of Malmedy-Stavelot. It was annexed to Prussia in 1%) French is still spoken by the upper classes and the Walloon dialect by the lower throughout the district. The population is about 10,000, +02 THEY WERE OUT OF WORK.
