TUPEACHMENT CASE CGHOST Badge Doane Tnsists that His Peo Has Not Been Paid, LEGISLATIVE SUED THE COMMITTEE Peremptory Writ of Mandamus to Compel lquidate Requested— bstance of the Attorney's Petic tion in the Ca Livcory, June 6. —(Special to Tre Bee.]— Judge Doane, late counsol for the state in the impeachment cases against the state officers walked into tho district court today ‘with a ledgthy petition in which e insists that P, H. Barry, C. D, Casper and George Colton, managers of the impeachment pro- ceedings aro indebted to him in the sum of 200, and asking for a peremptory writ of | mandamus to compel them to pay the cash. He sots up that at the twenty-third sesaion of the legislature, in joint convention, articles of impeachment were adopted against John C. Allen and others, which ‘were presented to the supreme court for trial under the provisiors of the law and tho constituiion; that theroupon the joint committee appointed and constituted Barry, Casper and Colton, who were then and still are members of the legislature, a board of managers to prosecute the said articles of fmpeachment before the supreme court, and authorized them to employ counse! for the .purposo of aiding in the prosecution; that hereupon tho board employed the relator as oue of the counsel, agreeing with him that he should receive for his services §,500 in full thereof. The relator directs attention to the act that the logislature appropriated $15,000 for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the prosecution, and that thoreupon he entered upon tho duties of the appointment and per- formed tho services for which he wasem- loyed ; that tho services were continued Brom tho dto of his appoiutment up to the final disposition by the supreme court of all of said articles or until the 24th day of May. He says that the defendants, constituting the board of managers, drew their vouchers dn favor of relator for the sum of §2,000 to apply upon his contract and no more, and upon his request and demand they havo re- fusea and still refuso to draw their voucher fur the 00 remaining due him on his con- tract. He further alleges that the 15,000 appro- priated for expenses was placed at the dis- posal of the board, and it wus duly author- zed and empowered to draw and approve vouchers upon it in favor of any party who might render services in connection with the impeachment proceedings and that it is its duty to draw a warrant in his favor for the romaining $00. He says there is an amount remaining in the fund sufficient to pay him, and therefore he prays thata writ pf mandamus commanding them todo so 1ssue. State Houso Notes.

MONTREAL'S GLAD WELCOME Opening of the Twelfth Annnal Oonvention of the Society of Ohristian Endeavor. FELICITOUS SPEECH BY THE MAYOR Two Big Meetings Crowded to Overflowing Appy Hits by the Orators of the Day—Procesdings of an In- toresting Natare. Moxtreat, July 6.—The Christian En- deavor convention got down to business today. The delegates were welcomed to the city by representatives of Montreal's relig- fous life. The first meeting was held in the drill hall. The hall is a vast structure—a regi- ment can maneuver with ease on its spacious floor, but 1t was filled to overflowing with delegates to the twelfth annual convention. For half an hour the vast multitude sang gospel hymns with a dash and spirit and then Rev, Dr. Clark arose and lod the audi- enco in repeating the Twenty-third psalm, aftor which Rev. F. B. Keene of the Protes- tant mission, Japan, offered up prayer. Then Rev. J, A. McKillevay welcomed the convention on behalf of the pastors of Mont- real. After him came Senator Des Jardines, tho mayor of Montreal, wearing his chain of office. He welcoed the delegates and then said: “WhileI ama Roman Catholic myself, and while Montreal is a Roman Catholic city, that is, the greater portion of her citizens profess that faith, none will ex- tend a Leartior wolcome than we will. The great crowd cheered the senator almost into astonishment. Not a Dattle of Creeds. “It is not a battle of creeas nowadays,’" coutinued the senator, ‘‘but a battle between belief and unbelief,” and thore was another great outburst of applause. ‘When Des Jardines sat down, President Clark called upon the choir to sing “God Save the Queen,” the audienco joining in and waving their handkerchiofs and Ameri- cuan and British flags. As they tinished, Presidenc Clark shouted. *“My Country 'Tis of Thee" and again there was another great outburst of applause. Secretaay Burge of the Montreal Young Men's Christian association welcomed the d{:ll‘gutus on behalf of the young men of the city. The third address of welcome came from Mr. A. A. Ayer of Montreal, chairman of tho 1893 committee. < Rev. Dr. H. P. Hensonof Chicago replied 10 the addresses of welcome, Speaking of Mayor Des Jardines' remarks, he suid that he wished that Montresl could lend the mayor to Chicago for the next four months. They needed him badly enough. That the fame of Carter Harrison has spread over the whole American continent, was apparent in the laughter and cheers which camo from every corner of the hall. Dr. Henson's speech was witty and patriotic. He did not think that the time would ever come for annexation, but he did beliove that tho time would come when the proudest thing a man could say, English or American, would be, “Iam a Christian.” He believed the present convention t0 be a greater exhi- bition than that on the shore of Lake Michi- Ran, especially since it had been smirched by the perfidy of a weal directorate. Dr. Hen- son did not beliove in denominationalism, The forces of evil were massing. It behooved all Christians to do likewise and forget their differences. In Honor of the Royal Wedding. The applause was deafening when Or. Henson tinished. Just as he was finishin the guns of the battery on St. Helen's island opposite the city began booming out a royal salute of twenty-one guns. President Clark drew attention to the fact that they were booming for the wedding of the sailor prince of England and Princess May. He did not know Prince George'and his bride, or of the man- ner in which they were colobrating their wedding day, but he thought they should in some way observe the event. To do this he called upon Rev. Bishop Arnett of Vicks- burg, Miss., of the African Methodist Epis- copai church to offer up prayer, which the bishop did, the audience then joining in singing impressively, “Praiso God from Whom All Blessings Flow.” . The benedic- tion was then pronounced, It was tent agaiust drili hall at tho Chris- tian Endeavor society this day, or at least that was the way it looked. Simultaneously the afternoon session in_both places began with music and song. “Soul Winning” was the subject in the tent and “The Junior Christian Endeavor Society; Its Past, Its Present and It8 Future” engaged the atten- tion of those {A the drill hall. In the latter hall Miss Alice may Scudder of Jersey City presided and 1ntroduced Rey. J. T. Cowan, whose address was entitled “The First Junior Society; Its Original Growth.” Miss Haus of St. Louls, Then the roll call came, conducted by Miss H. H. Haus of St. Louls. Miss Haus had something witty to sayof each stato and interspersed spoeches betwoen her calls, one of which called upon the people to go homo and go to work for the children. Chicago's fair would not be open on Sund: sho thought, if the children had been brought up right. ‘The roll call was followed by the address, ““The Possibilities of the Junior Society,” by Rey. Wayland Hoyt of Minneapolis. An address on “‘Junior Christian Endeavor in Foreign Laads,” by Mrs, Francis E. Clark, the wife of President Clark, brought the meeting in the drill hall to a close. In the meuntime in the tent, W. A. Patter- son of Toronto presiding, the address, “*Special Work for Young Men,” was spoken (])n by Rev. Rufus Sailler of Hummelstown, %, “How to Reach Young Men" was the sub- ject to which more than a dozen young gontlemen spoke, “Evils in Church Work,” by Rev. F. D. Power of Washington, ended the speeches for the afternoon, and the tent meeting was brought to a close by a series of answers 10 the quostion, “What Evangelistic Work is Our Society Doing?" San Francisco was_chosen as the city in which the Christian Endeavor couvention of 1804 will bo held. s LAWN SOCIABLE, Ladles of the Hanscom Park Methodist Church Entertaln Thelr Friends, Under the auspices of tho Ladles' Aid society of the Hanscom Park Methodist church one of tho prettiest lawn parties of the scason was given last evening at the residence of Mr. C. A. Clafin, 1141 South Thirty-first street. Mr. Claflin's charming home was illuminated for the occasion. The lawn was fairly ablazo with Japancse lunterns and headlights, which made the grounds look like & section of fairy land sot down in Omaha in honor of the event, A largo family tent had been erected, in which refreshments were served, while ' smaller tent attracted the parishoners and friends of the church to the lemonade bow Mrs. Waggoner, presi- dent of the soclety, was omnipresent, while Mrs, W.

Nloaragus no Longer Represented in the United States, Wasmixeron, July 6.—Dr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister, today called upon Sec- retary Gresham and placed his letters of re- call in his hands. He has communicated to the department the fact that the Nicaraguan government had abolished its logations here and in Europe and, in fact, 1n all save a few countrios in South and Central America. This action is understood to be based on economical consmderations. As a matter of international comity, the diplomatic repre- sentation of one coustry with another is oxpected to be reciprocal. When one gov- ernment withdraws its representative from another, the government to which the oficial was accredited usually gives a leave of ab- 0NCO to 1ts own representative or withdraws him altogether. It is thought unlikely, how- ever, that this course will be pursued with Nicaragua, American interests in the canal are so important that Mr. Baker, the pres- ont minister to Nicaragua will be requested to remain.

MONARCHY'S DYING STRUGGLE Supporters of Queon Lilinokalani Conspiring Against the Provisional Government. RINGLEADERS PLACED UNDER ARREST Attompts Made to Hribe Members of the Government Soldlery—Ulaus Spreckels Sald to Be Implicated—Dam- Aging Testimony, HoxoLuLY (via San Francisco), June 20.— In the prelimmnary examination of Crick, Walker and Sinclair, arrested for conspiracy to restore the monarchy, members of the army of the provisional govornment testified that Walker, in the presence of Sinclair en- deavored to get thom to play the traitor to the provisional government and advise their soldiers to lay down their arms when tho royalists wero ready to make strike against tho existing government. Walker said ho could easily overthrow the provisional government, ns ho had a thou- sand armed mon and good backing inthe per- sons of Claus Spreckels and James Campbell. Walker declared he had an underground Passago to the palace and a battery con- nected with the governmont building by which he could blow it up. He said Sprock- cls was to give the royalists §1,000,000 ana Campbell $300,000. The assault would be made on the goverament if the decision of the United States was against the royalists, The fact that a list of the conspirators is in the hands of the government causes mucn uneasiness among certain royalists, The government says it has still stronger evi- dence to produce on the regular trial. It is not believed Spreckels has anything to do with the conspiracy, and that Walker used his name without authority. Attempts at Hribery. Simon von Topas, a soldior in the provis- lonal army, testified in the conspiracy caso that Walker had approached him on several occasions and, after pradicting the return of the queen 1o power, offered him a position 1n the custom houso as soon as the old order of things was restored if he would give him o 11st of the soldiers who would turn traitors. Walker said he could easily overthrow the provisional government as he had 1,000 armed men, und told von Topas to advise his companions 10 lay down theirarms in case of vrouble. Walker assured witness that the royalists had good backers in the per- sons of Claus Spreckels and James Camp- bell. Sinclair was with Walker on scveral occasions when thesestatements were made. Also John Bowles. On one occasion Walker said his plan was to prevent tho voter forces of the provisional government from ap- proaching the executive building and, rely- ing on the co-operation of the guards, his men would effect an eutrance through an underground passage. A meeting of royalists had been ocalled, but the natives did not attend, aud only 300 whites wero present. Sam Newline, half white, was to be one of tho leaders. A. S. Prescott, a member of Von Topas' company, said Walker had told him that Claus Spreckels was to assist by giving the royal- ists 1,000,000, and James Campbell was to give 8500,000. Walker said he had access to the wator mains, and also had a batter connected with the government build- ing and could blow it up. Some of the royalist fighters were concealed about the queen’s premises, and _others were out drill- ing. Auassault on the government was to be made if the dccision of the United f3tates was against tho royalists. Another Scheme, A movement is on foot among the royalists to have native lawyers go among tho natives and adviso them that the provisional goy- crumont has no power to lovy taxes and ad- vising them not to pay, thus crippling the government,. The sheriff attempted to remove a band of lepers from Kalaiau valiey, Kanui. They resisted and killed him. The government will now remove them at any cost. Afairs at Sumon, Aria, Samoa (via San Francisco), June 20.—The wardogs of theislands have not yet becn let loose, though there is constant fear that the two factions will begin open warfare. King Maiictoa has informed the counsels of the three powers that he is confl- dent of beingable to effectually quell the rebellion without much fighting, amd a council of war will be held by his party on Saturday next, June 24, to decide npon an immedite course of action. It seems im- possible that actual war can long be pre- vented. Von Pilsach has departed from Samoa, his resignation being accepted by the powers and the king. The finauces of the country are in a de- plorable condition. Drastic measures will be necessary to save Samoa from hopeless bankruptcy.
