Louis, Jan, 81.—1'he recurrence of tho gossip rewarding the roturn of Ablegate Sa- tolli to Rome and the appointment of a suc essor has brought out, through a recent vis- itor to the ablezate's home in Washington, the fact that ‘he pontifi’s representative will remain in America only s0_long as thoe vope feels 1t i3 warranted_ by his own (the vope's) tenure of life. From the visitor montioned it is learned that the ablegate is already a “‘cardinal in poto,” that is, *‘in the breast of the pope.” Itis tho rule for the vope to elect o man for the honor of the red hat and todetail to the cardinals the candi- date's accomplishments and his claims to the oftice, but to postpone the announcement of the name.

Induced New York, Jan, 81, Humphrey B. Cham- berlin, presudent of the Chamberlin Invest- ment company of Denver, Colo., which failed last July, hus beon arrested and held in 6,000 bail on an order of Justice Lawrence of the supreme court in an action brought by Jose Paisley of the shoe firm of J. Paisloy § Sons to recover §,000 for alleged false repr sentations, Paisley was one of the many church people who claim to have been nippea by Chamberlin's representations. Ho says Chamberlin sold him the Fort Worth Park Place Land company, of which the Chamborlin company has a large holding of stock, and about 490 acres near Fort Worth, Tex. Cnamberlin also let him have 100 shares of the Fort Worth Park I land company at 0 each, par value $100. He told hiim he would get his monc back in three yearsand still have his invest- ment. Paisley says ho went down to Texas and found tho company never owned the tract of land represented. Ho says he ot no dividend and has been unable to connoct with avy of his £5,000. Chamberlain gave bail and was released. Prominent in Real Estate Circles, Chamberlin, president of the Chamberlin Investment company, is one of the most prominent figures interested in land and real estate in the west.

At the terminus of the road was the famous Arlington inn, a polit- ical hotel, built as a resort and to establish tne locality as a fashionable neighborhood. The hotel was run for some time at lost and tinally closed. The boom which struck Fort Worth was short-lived and the company found itself 1n the possession of a white elephant of the most burdensome character, Other: prop- erties in the south, though not of such an ambitious character, depreciated to such an extent that the small companies which con- stituted the (hamberlin, coupled with the fall of values in Denver, which culminated last fall when the price of silver went down with a run, finally swamped the larger con- cern.

Chawberlin, younger brother of the parter against whom procecdings have been mmenced. A great deal of money was cleared by dealings in inside town property and Capitol hill invesiments, iots in the latter district jumping from 8300 to 3,000 in the course of a few years, this upper portion of the town of Denver being now entirely occupied with the mansions of the wealthy mining operators of the state and snccessful citizens of the city. More than one exten- sive speculation in ontside property fol- lowed these successes, and these not only proved failures, but'the burial ground of capital, mostly subscribed by smaller - vestors, who have been induced to place their mouey with the company on the reputation it had won in its earlier enterprises. A vast amount of Lnglish capital was taken care of by the company, a large pro- portion of its clients being individyals con- nected with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which the Chamberlins are prominent members. H. B. Chamberlin has also been inti- mately nssociated with the Young Men’s Christian association, and has lectured in London, the headquarters of the society, during his tripacross the ocean. The arrest will naturally cause a greav sensation among the unususlly large client- ugo of the firm. S HAS QUITE A RECORD. KId O'Brien In Custody at St. Louls—Some of His Crimes.

SAMUEB PARKER TALKS WITH CONFIDENCE alani's Ex-Prime Letter to the Ameri Before Leaving for Hawall-Not Time Yot for A ton, SAN Fraxcisco, Jan, 81.—Samuel Parkor, member of ex-Queen Lilivokalani's cabiuet, ailed today for Honolulu. He has been hero sevoral weeks on private business. Before leaving today he gave to the Exami. ner a lotter 1o the American people which may be deemed an_authoritative statenent of the purpose of the royalists of his coun- try. Parker is half whiteand is the leading royalist of Hawaii He says ho wants that ho means during tutional monarchy Hawail as it was, by the period of consti- from 1850 to 1803, Par- kor defends the monarchy and says all the prog of the islands was made during those years, Ho deuies that the public men upt. He calls attention to the higher percentago of education among the Hawaiians and says the people wero ad- mirably fitted for selt government. Ho de- fends the course of the queen in refusing to grant amnesty to oficers of tha nprovisional government, saying that the constitution forbids such action on her part without tho consent of the privy council, e says the Hawaiians wore satisflod with their government and whon given an oppor- wunity to express their opinions will decide by an overwhelming majority in favor of the queen ‘Tho royalists of Hawaii have appealed the case to the United States and are quietly waiting for a decision. If the decision is to permit the people to decide for themselves, I havo no doubt of the restora- tion of the queen. As yet there has been no sion for the people of Ha waii to take action in their own country in defenseof thew rights. The veculiar condition ro- quired o production of evidence to the United States government more than docl- sive action in our country. The world need not think, however, that the Hawaiiuns are disregardful of their government and their throne. When the time comes for them to declare their decision they will be found ready for the decluration." Parker adds that he is aot unmimndful of the ultimate destiny of Hawail. It will be- come associated with the United States by a protective treaty. **While appreciating this destiny of my country, I know that the time is not now ripe fov its fulfillment.’ Parker cites the contract labor system in vogue in Hawaii as an argument against an- nexation. *Further development must oceur, the welding must be gradual, and any change must be in accordance with the will of the Haywalian people. Hawalian peoplo are op- posed to annexation. The people of Hawail are for the restoration of the monarchy. The United States cau do butoneof two things, either it will restore the qucen to the throne or leavo the settlement of the politics to the peoplo or Haw: ‘Which ever course the United States may pursuo, [ amcertain the outcome will be satisfactory. An oligarchy supported by a few bayonets cannot be maintained against the wishes of nine-tenths of the people.” Tne letter is sizned “Samuel prewier of Hawaii.”" e IT WANTS THE BES 88 wore cor Parlker, T Baltimore American Quits the United Press and Jolns the Associated Bavrsone, Jan, 81 —~The Baltimore Amer- ican, tho oldest daily newspaper in the United States, and one of the greatest morn- ing papers of the south, today signed a ninety-year contract and has become a mem- ber of the Associated press.
