After a short verdict of acquittal was reached and r turned to the court. When McGuire was brought in to hear the verdict he took a seat near the jury. For the first time during the trial his wife was not at his side.

WILL TEST THE LAW. for the FProtection of Dealers to Come Before Court. A. Bartlett of the firm of A. Bartlett & Co., book dealers, with headquarters in New York, was arrested yesterday upon an in- formation charging him with conducting an auction business without complying with all the conditions of the ordinances adopted in this city for the regulation of such busl ness. On the 10th inst. Bartlett came here and rented a_room, after going to the city clerk’s office and procuring a license to oper- ate o retail and auction hook business until July 1, paying $14.30 for the document. The Ticense was signed by the city clerk and tho mayor and was in_every way regular, but yesterday it was learned that Bartlett & Co. would mot stay here any longer tlan was necessary to close out their stock ot books. Then It was discovered that another ordinance exacting $10 a day fitted the case, and City Clerk Zurmuehlen served a written notice upon Bartlett that his license had been revoked for the reason that it had been secured by misrepresentation. A tender of the amount paid for it was made Ly the clerk and refused by Bartlett, and the arrest followed quickly. Bartlett cinployed attorneys to look after his interests, ga: the required bond and 2as™, to appear for trial this morninz.

Mr. Bartlett seems to take the matter very coolly, and says that he is not in any way interfering with the business of local book dealers, and that he ought to receive ens couragement instead of opposition. He says wherever he has sold out a stock of hooks at low prices the business has been stimus lated and dealers have reaped tho benefit; that the more sold the greater tho demand becomes, and he believes it is better to induce people to buy books than to buy beer.

By of this contract with the city this corporation has been enabled to secure from private parties more than two prices for electric light and probably not less than five prices for gas The alleged franchise to this company was granted by ordinance October §, 1889, In 1888 the legislature cnacted a statute de priving cities and towns of all authority to grant franchises of this character unle first approved by popular vote.

O\L MORL BOMB IV PARIS Aguin the Oity is Startled by the Schemes of the. Anarchists. EXPLODED IN CHURCH OF LA MADELEINE Man Who Threw the Weapon of Destruc- tion Was Himself Killed When it Went Off and a Number of Others Were Badly Hurt, PARIS, March 15.—A dynamite bomb was exploded this afternoon in the chief entrance of the Church of La Madeleine. The man who threw the bomb was killed by the explosion and a number of others were severely Injured. At 1:45 a loud explosion was heard inside the church, and in a very short time the in- j terior of the church and the Place de La Madeleine were in a state of great confusion and excitement. The people who were the first to rush up the steps leading to the main entrance suc- ceeded in entering the building, and found it filled with smoke, and from the inside could be heard the shrieks and groans of appar- ently a number of wounded persons. Near the door at the right of the main entrance the people who were able to enter found shattered human remains. For a time, owing to the smoke and excitement, the people who made this discovery did not e any further, but as the people regained seen that the dare to penet smoke cleared away and the their presence of mind it w remains were those of a man who was so shattered by the explosion that his tines and brains lay in all directions, uis blood was spattered over a large area. Upon the body of the man who had been blown to pleces were found a number of pa- pers and a partrait of Ravachol, the exe- cuted anarchist. The people who were in the time of the explosion were few in number, the hour was too early for the Lenten orvice, at which there was to be a sermon, and which was fixed for 4 o'clock. But the few people In the church were o alarmed by the explosion that they set up a chorus of cries and groans, which led everybody to be- lieve that the explosion had injured quite a number of them. When the smoke had entirely cleared away an examinat'on was made of the premiscs and it was seen that the bomb, or infernal ma- chine, which had apparently exploded pre maturely while in possession of the an- st, had done bup very little damage to the church. A strong force of police was soon on the ene of the explosian and in a very brief period not only the church of La Madelcinc but the whole Plage de Madeleine was in possession of the polica authorities, and every person found ‘in the neighborhood of the church was detained in custody until the police had satisfied themselves that they had 1o connection with the explosion At the Lenten services which were to have taken place this afternoon a very large num- ber of people would have been present and the police expressed the opinion that the dead man intended to explode his bomb in the midst of the crawd of worshipers On all sides were heard expressions of the most flerce indignation against the an archists, and if the excited crowd had been able to lay hands on an accomplice of the murderous anarchist there is no doubt but that he would have been torn limb from limb, = The doory through thrower must have entered the church, ac cording to the police, was the cause of his death, and, as a police official expressed it God's justice was done The door, it Is explained, opens and shuts with a heavy swing, and it Is belleved that the bomb thrower, pushing open the door and having the bomb upon his person, forgot or did not Kknow of the strong swing of this door, and, in closing, it struck him and exploded the bomb. intes- while church at the which the bomb Nihilists Fight with Officers.

HONOLULU, March § (via Steamer Mari- posa to San Francisco, March 16).—A rumor was afloat Sunday night to the effect that martial law was to be declared Monday, but as yet nothing has come of it. The marshal denied the rumor, but nevertheless it is be- lieved the government has such intentlons. Some fears were felt by the government that if news of a nature unfavorable to the ex-queen’s cause should arrive the royalists would make a last desperate attempt to re- store the queen. For this reason the plan of declaring martial law was proposed, and the government was ready to take steps to prevent trouble. A prominent government official said as much to the Associated press correspondent today and also that it was the last moment that the idea was abandoned. News of the report of the United States senate committee was received with great demonstrations of joy by the annexation part They claim that it is the precursor of annexation, and the more sanguine an- nounce that this will be attained during the Cleveland administration. The news scems to have affected royalists more seriously than any that they have yet received. The Bulletin, the ex-queen’s organ, is bitterly severe on the action. News condemnatory of Stevens’ action was confidently expected, and the report was a great disappointment. At a meeting of the councils this after- noon a bill was presented providing for a calling of a convention. The bill provides that the convention shall be held at the call of the president and shall consist of the ex- ecutive and dvisory councils cighteen ted delegates from the islands. Every male resident of the islands of Hawai- fan, American or European birth or par- entage, 20 years of age, who has taken the oath provided by the act and is not di: franchised, is entitled by the bill to vote for the delegates. Registration is required and the enrollment of voters is to be posted and published previous to the election. The formn of oath required is as follows “I do solemnly swear, in the presence of the Almighty God, that I will support and bear true allegiance to the provisional go ernment of the Hawalian islands and will oppose any attempt to restore Liliuokalani to the throne or to establish a monarchical government in any form in the Hawalian isl- ands."” The election of delegates will take place in May and as soon s a constitution is adopted a republic will be proclaimed. The new constitution is already being drawn by the executive council, but its co tents will be strictly guarded until after the meeting of the convention. The election of new members of the ad- visory council took place at the meeting of councils this afterncon. T. B. Smith, candidate of the American league, who was defeated at the last meeting, was again nominated and elected, on his statement that he has withdrawn his oath to the American league and goes into the councils bound to no secret organization. It wa only on these grounds that he could lave been elected. “The question of plantation labor will cause much trouble for the government if it is not satisfactorily settled. Two factions of the new union party are making it a cause for dispute, and the outlook is now that a serious breach will be efiected.
