Wolsey wanted me to run his boat, but I won' doit. I shall have nothing more to do with the Manawa, nor with any other boat, and I don’t want any sort of an interest in one. It's mighty hard on me to have such a thing hnrp«n on my boat, but, I tell you, one of the hardest things about it all is that everybody talks as if 1 dido't care a cent,” ———— Publicly Installed, Last evening there was a public in- stallation of ofticers of the Good Tem- plars at their hall, There was a large sttendance.

Investigating the Recent Disaster on Lake Manawa. EVIDENCE BEFORE THE CORONER Republican Primaries—Salvationists Vindicated—Officers of the Good Templars Elected — Other Notes and News, The Cause of the Disaster. The inquiries into the canses of the Lake Manawa disaster continued yester- day. It seems to be the general impres- sion that lhttle will be accomplished along the line of prosecuting the owner of the boat. It is claimed that the waters are not navigable in the eyes of the law, and that it is not therefore necessary for the steamers to be in- spected, nor for the engineers to have licenses. The law covering the matter is quoted as follows, and it leaves the question open as to the fact, whether tfie lake, a8 & part of the Missouri, comes under the proyisions of these sections: “Every vessel propelled in whole or in part by steam shall be deomed a steam ves- sel within the meaning of this title,” “'All steam vessels navigating any waters of the United States W'Il(‘fi are coinmon high- ways of commerce, or open to general or competitive navigation, excepting public vessels of the United States, vessels of other countries, and boats propelled in wholeor in part by steam for navigating canals, shall be subject to the provisions of this title.”” There have been rumors to the etfect that there were so many of the passen- gers of the ill-fated boat, who were intox- 1cated, that their actions caused the boat to sink. This has aroused the indigna- tion of some of the Council Bluffs people, who were on bourd, and who rank among the best citizens of the place. They do not pronose to have any such intimation even, sent abroad as the probable cause of the disaster, as they declare there is not the shightest foundation in fact for it. They inmsted yesterday on haying the boat raised, and sent out into the decp water with a crowd upon her, of about the same number a8 on the fatal night, npdkualermiuo whether she could float or sink, The coroner’s jury consists of three of the most responsible citizens and they have been carrying on the investigation in the most thorough manner. They de- termined from the start to leave nothing undone to satisfy the public demand for a thorough sifting of the facts. 8 has been shown by the testimony, the boat was an old hull, over the outside of which auother one was built ot pinc flooring, leaving a chamber between the old and the new. The flooring on mr, extending over these chambers, was in one place broken, the hole being about 8x16 inches. If the water came over the boat it could easily run into one of these chambers through this hole and would thus make an additional weight, and a movable one which would tend to wreck the boat easily. The con- struction of the boat appears to have been of the crudest possible nature, and its management was in the hands of amateurs. Such are the facts as ad- mitted by all. Although not as a direct result of the investigation, the county attorney has decided to prosecute any and all persons who sell liquors at or about Lake Man- awa, He declares that the bar at the hotel and at the other places must close at once, or he will make it decidedly in- teresting for them. The coroner agaia resumed the investi- ation yesterday. The firat witness was fi’nltar 8. Goodrich, fireman on the Northwestern, He testified: Was on the steamer Manawa when she sauk on the night of August 4. Think there were about twenty-five persons on hoard. We got out in the lake about 800 yards, I was standing sbout center of the boat. The man at the helm shouted to the en- gineer to put on tho In:Jwirntor and for everybody to go forward. Shethen went down immediately bow first, Started to swim to the shore, but thinking I could not swim that distance returned to the boat and got on top of the canvas awn- ing. There were three or four ersons in the water shouting for elp at the time. Engine and machinery seemed to me to work all right previous to the sinking. Engine exhausted well. Pilot shouted to put on inspirator, which meant to put more water into the boiler. 1 was on left hand side about center of the boat; 1t was very dark; I couldn't see how many were on; dont think the boat was out of trim. At the order, 1 started to go ahead and should judge twelve to fitteen went to bow, besides myself. I didn’t look back to see how mnnF behind me obeyed the order, Im- mediately on going forward I got in water over my shoe topns. I suspected the boiler was going to burst, by the order for more water. 1 stood with one foot on the seat and hand on an upright before the accident. Believe more than half the vassengers were in the stern. The majority of the passengers were in the stern before that order to go forward. Some were in the bow bay from the amount of talk believe the majorily of passengers were in the sterd. 1 thought it was blowing prtmivl hard; wouldn't have taken my wife witl me had sho been there, as I didn’'t con- sider it any too safe a trip. Think waves probably washed over into boat. Some one on one of the boats ou the beach as we started said he would bet $50 we never would make the trip sately. Isaw one life preserver as I got on and thought I'd stay by 1t, but left 1t without think- ing as the order came to go forward. fi. P. Anderson testified: “Am a switchmau on the Northwestern; was on the steamer when she sank. I think 1 was about the first one on the boat. She tried to leave the dock twice before she got away. First [ noticed was the water around fire box and 1n a second the boat went down. I stood by steam guage and noticed the steam very low. The gas man, Ferson, passed " by me toward stern and sat down before the accident havpened. 1s8aw his body when 1t was recovered and identitied it as that of the man who passed me. The flag staff was on the bow and he went to the stern. He told the crowd to be still and not interfere with the man at the wheel. There was no disturbance. Never saw Ferson before. I noticed his full dress shirt particularly that night. 1t was the impression of all those who heard Anderson’s testimony that he was mlstaken in rufnrd to Ferson's position, and, perhaps, it being Ferson. During his cross-examination by County Attorney Dailey he said: *‘There was no quarreling; I should think seven or eight were in the rear, five or six ahout the boiler, and the balance in the bow, there being about twenty-five on board. The boat seemed to be timmed and balanced properly. Before we got on the bout the waves were three or four feet high; couldn’t say about them when we were out in water, Noticed water in fire-box; looked back and it looked as if it was over the deck.” A draft of the steamer was shown to the witness and it was with difficulty that he could tell which part of the steamer he was on, Witness finally stated by way of conclusion that he saw two life preservers on going on the steamer. Harvey oway, owner of the steamer Manawa recallod: "I aint cer- tain how. m-nx life preservers we had on. four or fiv d perhaps Got them from Woolsey the day of the accident. The wooden Iawn eents would hold up three or four people and acted as li t::uorver-. That night I dido't te ‘Dassengers the lawn séats would serve as pro- Had four, or five of these seats. The Lady of the Lake ;llflt Ianded at the hotel dock as [ started or the beach. On arrival at the beach I didn’t whistle as I feared those that didn’t know I was going to leave the dock would come out and over crowd the boat. When I left the hfiul dock the Lady of the Lake requested me to whistle five times while at the beach, if [couldn’t brln* over all the people that were to com# on our boats. The Bumngera were mostly all standing up, didn’t want to si¢ down’ in the rain. [ don't know thut they interfered with the operations of the boat in any way. The crowd were talka- tive but not boisterous.’ The 'jlury then requested the coroner to have the boat raised onto the beach for their inspection; that they would leave for the lake at 2:30 o’clock and wished to inspect the steamer throughout. They then, at 12 o'clock, took a recess nntil 3 o'clock. About 3 o'clock the jury went to the Iake to examine the steamer, It was found unnecessary to raise her onto the beach, as she had iloated since Saturday last without any water getting into ;ler. showing no leakage below the water ine. The steamer's deck is flush with the top of her sides except the pit where the boiler is fed. Directly under the deck, and eight inches above the water line, as she floats, are_many leaks, in fact, holes, from a half inck to one, eight or ten inches long. With these holes lead- ing into the chamber between the ol hull ~and the new one, and these holes only five or six inches at most above water when the steamer was loaded with ten to fifteen people, as she was while the jury were Inspecdng her in deep water, it seems impossible, with the waves ten inches high and the wash from the steamer’s wheels, to keep the water out of the chambers. ‘The verdict will not be reached until this evening, as the jury will wait until after the funeral of Charlie Ferson before they meet to determine upon their verdict. ad pers s The Salvationist Freed. The salvationist, Relander, arrested some time ago, had a hearing betore Judge Aylesworth yesterday. The court room was brilliantly lighted by red shirts, and the liveliest interest was felt by the Salvation Army, for each member of the barracks contributed to pay the at- torneys for defending their brother and send him *‘happy on the way.” The de- fendant sat stringing pantaloon buttons on a bent hair pin, allowing his attor- neys to do the work. They did it well and soon had him discharged. ‘L'he claim was made by Mrs. Hasty that he had threatened her with prosecution for some serious offense if she did not de- liver over to him a trunk belonging to her daughter, who had run away with the army and gone into camp at Fre- mont, The accused and the salvation sister who went with him to Mrs. Hasty's house, both swore against Mrs. Hasty's statement of the affair, and being two to one, swore her out of court. The proceedings were tinged with humor, and even the judge caught some of it, up- setting his dignity so far as to canse him to perpetrate a terrible pun. A demurrer was filed against the information, and 1n sustaining 1t, he remarked apologetically for Mr. Ware, who drew it up, that the information was probably drawn very hastily by Mrs. Hasty. The red coated members of the army were almost over- servers, joyed at the result of the hearing, and as the banner carrier expressed 1t: ‘I tell you we're going to stay right by until we whip the devil clear out of Council Bluifs. Every time the devil gets mad, and tries to strike back, we just go at him, and I tell you the armyisa big one, and we wear right across our shirts the words to vonquer. They can fotch us up ull they want for breaking laws. 1 tell you we will just stay by till the end.” ———— “The Fighting Chaplain.” Rey. J. H. Lozier entortained a large audience in the grand army hall last evening. His address was interspersed with songs, poetical recitations, anec- dotes, incidents, bits of pathos, oratory and wit. A more enthusiastic audience was never.gathered in that hall, Despite the sweltering night, they laughed and cheered, wept and listened for over two hours, Notwithstanding the hot weather, meetings still continue at the Oakland Avenue tabernacle with increasing in- terest. The much discussed ‘‘Sabbath queetion is still at the front. The peo- ple of Council Bluffs are having a chance to hear '‘both sides” of this question. To-night the elders will answer objec- tions and give a brief review of the po. sitions taken by Dr. Painter at the *‘bible reading” on Sunday” afternoon. All in- terested should attend. e Not Orowding the Court. Junge Carson was ready yesterday to take up the long pending saloon cases, but by ngreement of parties, they went over until Thursday morning next. The next term of the district court opens August 80, At that time Judge Deemer will be here to preside. He has become a terror to the saloon men, for his sentences to offenders have been met- ed out ““"'"‘x and in full. It is pre- dicted that he will dispose of saloon cases very promptly it any are brought before him, T ——— That Prize Fight. The county attorney, Colonel Daily, is quute stirred up about the Omaha sports coming over to this side for their prize fighting ground. He declares that he will prosecute any and all the partici- lnuts, whom he can find. He sees no egal way yet for him to bring the offend- ers over from Nebraska, but if he can catch them on this side he purposes mak- ing 1t hotter than August for them. ———— At the Pacific house 500 to $1 per day. vinced. ou will save from Ty \tand be con- e An Abstract Company.

Prbrses o ot THE HAWAIJAN KINGDOM. Monarchy of the Islands Where the Recent Political Hevolu- tions Occurred. The peaceful uprising which has just shorn the king of the greater part of his ower recalls attention to the islands. It s litile more than a hundred years since the SBandwich islands, now called the Hawaiian kingdomi, were discovered by Captain Cook, yet the writer ventures to think that these islands, which have since worked out for themselves the problem of constitutional government, could teach much, both in civilization and in the art of legislation to far older countries, The Hawaiian kingdom is situated in the Pacific ocean, about two thousand and five hundred miles from Vancouver, in a direct line to Australia. 1t consists of ht principal islands— Hawaii, Maui, Oabu, Kauai, Molokai Lanai, Miihau,' Kahoolawe and scveral small islets. Its population is about one hundred thousand. Nihoa, the most motherly of the groupe, is an interestin, but uninhabited island. It is the breed- lnf place of myriads of birds, and con- tains many valuable and rare ferns. Ot the larger 1slands, seven out of the eight are inhabited, Kahoo- lawe having been abandoned svme yoars ago. The Hawaiian kingdom 1s a constitutianal monarchy. The pre- rogatives of the crown and the privileges of the legislative assembly are delined by a constitution. The constitution is based on that of Great Britain, and has been found to work smoothly. The legislative power of the three estates of the king- dom is vested in the king and legislative assembly. This latter branch of the leg- islature consists of two orders,the nobles, with the title of “honorable,” appeinted by the king, and the representatiyes of the people, elected bienmally. The commerce ot the Hawaiian king- dom is, in proportion to its pobulation, without any equal in the world. The ex- ports for 1885 were about £26 per head of the population. New South Wales coming next in importance with about £12, 'he 1mports during 1835 were about £10 per head of the population. The lnrfiast share of the trade of the king- dom is done with the United States, fos- tered not only by the proximity of Amer- fca, but by avery favorable treaty of re- ciprocity. Many classes of merchandise from the United States are ad- mitted free nto the _ Islands, and for this concession Hawaiian sugars are admitted free into the states. The principal exports from the Hawaiian islands are sugar, rice, wool, dried ban- anas, sheep skins, hides, molasses, goat skins and fresh bananas. Sugar growing is the principal industry of thé country, and with the object of further improving this important branch of commerce the fiovernment during the last few years ave imported labor from Japan, St. Michael's and Maderia. From the latter island alone 10,000 Portugese have emi- grated. The officlat returas for 1855 show . Krothmtion of 171,860,314 pounds, out of which the United States took 171,846,625 ounds. The crop of rice for 1885 was arge, though it fefl short of the produc- tion of the four preceding years. The states consumed * 7,867,200 pounds of a total production of 7,367,233 pounds. The entire exports of fresh bananas, 60,046 bunches; of goat skins, 19,782; hides, 19,045; and sheepskins, 8,783, were con- sumed by America, The crop of wool, amounting to 471,121 pounds, were ex- orted to England. The trade between Hawaii and Great Britain and her colon- jes is 1558 per cent of the total imports of the | islands, cnh-ulntin% the trade between Hong Kong anc Hawaii at 1.10 per cent. The imports from all other countries, with the excep- tion of the United States, amount alto- gether to 7.65 per cent of the whole im- port trade of Hawaii, or not one-half of the trade with Great Britain and her col- onies alone. Distance and the disadvant- age of not having a treaty similar to the American, operate greatly to the detri- ment of the British trade with the islands. There is, however, every reason to hope that the completion of the Panama canal, the Canadian Pacific railway, and the proposed British cable to the colonies, which 18 to touch at Honolulu and for which the Hawaiian government have al- ready granted a handsome subsidy, may have the effect of improving the commer- cial relations between Hawaii and Great Britain and her colonies. The public debt of the kingdom is not more than £219,000, the greater part of which was spent on the importation of labor for the sugar pluntations, There is no country where the burden of taxation is so light a8 in the Hawaiian Islands. The tax on real and personal property isonly § per cent, or 150, onthe £100. The direct tax- ation likewise includes carriages, 20s. each; poll t: ;8chool tax 8s. per caput; road tax, $8s., and carts, 8s, Cor. 5th Ave, & 7th St., Council Bluffs, One of the best Educational Institu- tions in the west.
