DUSKY QUEEN LIL ARRESTED| Oharged with Oomplicity in the Recent Hawaiian Rebellion, ARMS AND BONBS FOUND IN HER HOUSE Minister Thurston Declines to Talk Con- cerning the Probablo Disposition of the Ex-Qnoen—Is Expecting Frosh Advices from Honolulu, AUCKLAND, N. Z., Feb. 2.~Advices re- telved here from Honolulu under date of January 19 announce that ex-Queen Liliuoka- lani has been arrested on the charge of com- | plicity with the Insurgents in the recent re- bellion. 1 addition all the insurgent leaders have been taken into custody and are belng tried by court-martial. Three of the leaders pleaded guilty to treason. Martial law Is maintained, The rebellion against the re- public of Hawall turmed out to be a com- Dlete flasco. After the first engagement the rebels scattered and some time later Wilcox, Molim, Buttelman and others of the leaders of the Insurrection were captured and, as already stated, are being tried for treason before a court martial, Shortly after Queen Lilluwokalani was rested her house was searched and were stored arms and dynamite hombs. arrests have resulted in the order in Hawall, Later advices, dated January 27, say that quite a large quantity of arms, imported for the use of the rebels, have been seized in addi- tion to those found fn the house of the ex- queen. Messrs. Savis, the importers of the arms, have been fined. ENGLAND'S PART IN THE AFFAIR. LONDON, Feb. 2.—The news of the arrest of ex-Queen Liliuokalani, published in Lon- don this afternoon, created quite a sensation. The facts in the case were telegraphed to Queen Victoria, who is at Osborne, and to Mr. Theophilus Davis at Liverpool. Nr. Dayis is the guardian of Princess Kalufini of Hawali, heiress presumptive to the throne. He is also the agent In England of ex-Queen Liliuokalani. Mr. Davis, it appears, had also received a telegram via Auckland Z., an- nouncing the arrest of the ex-queen. It {s expected that the ex-queen’s friends here and elsewlere will make diplomatic representations to Great Britain and the United States in order to secure her relea The Hawalian counsel in this city has re ceived no news in regard to the resolution adopted by the United States house of repre- sentatives asking President Cleveland to sub- mit to congress any correspondence of the State department regarding the reports al- leging that British subjects iucited the Ha- wailans to rebellizn, and supplied them with arms, and that the British minister inter- vened in order to prevent the application of martial law to British subjects who had been engaged in the rebellion. In this connection the Assoclated press is officially informed that there has been no correspondence between the British and American consuls on the subject of the charges that the British subjects in Hawait had incited the Hawaiian reyolt and had sup- plied the rebels with arms. The fact is added, as has already been stated in the house of Tepresentatives at Washington, that Presi- dent Cleveland is satistied that the action taken by the British residents of Honolulu in this matter was quite justificd under the circumstances. Nothing is known here in regard to the charges made against the Brit- ish residents at Honolulu of supplying arms to the rebels and it is sald that if such a thing did occur it would be for the Hawalian authorities to put a stop to it. MINISTER THURSTON TALKS. . WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The latest devel- opments in Hawali, as contained in the As soclated press Auckland dispatch, was agree- ‘able news to Mr. Thurston, the minister of that country at this capital. Concerning (the-ex-queen, the minister said the latest in- formation he had secn concerning her was that she had gone out to the residence of Nowlin (or Nolan), one of the leaders of the revalution. His residence was located on Pearl river, about fifteen miles from the city of Honolulu. “Now that the queen has been arrested for compliclty In the rebellion, what will the authorities do with her? Will she be ban- ished from the country?” asked the re- porter. That I8 a matter 1 do not care to dis- cuss,” answered' the minister. “That in connection with the possible effect of her con- tinued residence in the islands is a question that will be dealt with by those who have the affairs of the nation entrusted to their care. How can I talk about the possible disposition of the cases of Wilcox and other leaders of the rebellion?” The minister cxpects fresh advices of af- fairs at Honolulu on the arrival of the Aus- tealia, due in San Francisco In four or five days. WILLIS WILL PROTECT AMERICANS, The news or the arrest of the ex-queen was recelved with surprise at the State de- partment, and although the officials de- clined to discuss the matter in any aspect, it was plainly to be seen that they had not been expecting that she would be connected with a revolutionary attempt so poorly planned and executed and promising so little. As it 15, she Is likely to forfeit whatever property remains In her possession to the republic, and in addition probably will be exiled in order to eliminate her entirely as a party factor. There has not as yet been any sug- gestions that the United States government should interfere in behalt of the ex-queen, who Is now, after the full and formal recog- nition of the republic, nothing more than an individual and citizen of Hawail. “1f any American citizens are among the persons arrested and tried for complicity in the rebellion, then undoubtedly Mr. Willis, our minister, will see to it that they secure a full opportunity to prove their innocence, it they can do so. Notwithstanding the ominous significance conveyed by the fact that the trials were to be by court-martlal, it Is not believed here that very severe pun- ishment will be meted out to the persons convicted, except, perhaps, in the cass of actual Hawaiians, for it is hardly to be con- celved that the British and other foreign ministers at Honolulu could contemplate with equanimity the seclusion of their fellow sub- Jects by process of court-martial, It {5 thought that the United States ship Philadelphia Is now at Honolulu, as she was due there last Monday. The news of the arrests created conside ablo surprise among senato The senti- ments expressed generally showed very little sympathy for the queen, whils some indicated indifference to her fate, “She Is plain Mrs. Dominis, and not a queen,” sald Senator Platt, “and must stand upon the same footing as other residents of Hawail,” Senator Frye expressed the same sentiment Senator Lodge hoped that none of the con- spirators would be shot, and Senator Mills thought it probable that some of them wero likely to be. Senator Butler remarke! that the fact that the rebellion had been put down %0 soon Inddicated that the present govern ment was amply able to care for itself. The news of the collapse of the Hawailan rebellion was recelved without much sur- Pris> by members of the house to whom it was made known, except that part narrating the arrest of the deposed queen, which ex- eited some comment. The opinion was gen- ally expressed that the quven's strength must be very small and her following must bave fallen ‘off greatly if she could be ar rested without any belng made. Chairman _ McCreary committee on “foreign affairs the dispateh econfirmed the to the State ar- in it The restoration of resistance of the remarked that latest advices department, which he quoted in his speech | yesterday, and ghowed that the trouble been greatly overrated in importance. Dis- cussion was stirred up over the penalties which mizht be visited upon the leaders of the lnsurrection and s:veral republicans ex- pressed the opinion that it would be well for the government Lo exccute two or three of them for treason, according to the laws of most civilized nat others. Mo visit capital punishment on th queen, It was sald, was probably a more severe retribution than would be favored, motwithstanding her demand for the heads of the men who brought about the establish- ment of the r:public. had Ribot Favors Bunelnll N PARIS, Feb, 2.—In the Chamber of Depu- tles today Ribot, replying to a question in Tegard Lo the monetary crisia, sald a s, and &5 a warning to| cessation of the coinage of silver would be regrettable. The matter could only be set- tled by an international agreement between the powers. A movement fayoring bimet- allism had arisen in England. He would use his best efforts to overcome the opposi- tion to bimetalllsm in France, by which means he hoped France would revert to bimetallism, COMING OVER ON THE Survivors from the Eibes Are to Ameriea, LONDON, Feb. 2.—Miss Anna Brucker, the only woman saved from the North German Lioyd steamship Elbe, in an interview has added the following to the statements she has already made about the disaster. Miss Brucker says that when the first boat cap- sized she swam until she caught one of the ars of the other boat which had been lannched and then somebody on board the latter craft shouted: “Push her off!" She also saya they tried to push her off, but she held on so firmly to the oar that she was finally pulled 6n board Continuing, Miss Brucker says officers of the Elbe miscalculated that the steamer could keep atloat. Tho skipper of the fishing smack Comp- ton, which has arrived at Lowestoft, has re- ported that in addition to the mail bag he saw near the scene of the collision he saw a quantity of wreckage apparently from a big steamer, and he picked up a platform used tor painting ships' sides. - Messrs, Hoffran, Schlegel and Vevera, sur- vivors of the Elbe disaster, sailed for New York today from Liverpool on board the Cunard steamship Umbria. mperor Willlam has telegraphed to Mr. H. F. Foster, M. P. for the North of Lowes toft division' of Suffolk, thanking all those concerned for their attention to the survivors ol the Eibe and regretting that so few were saved. UMBRIA, on Thelr Way the time that the iLAND TOO SELF-SACRIFICING, Marquis of Lorne's fligh John Macdonald’s Troer Patroitism. LONDON, Feb. 2.—The marquis of Lorne has written a long article, which appears in the Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon on Pope's Life of Sir John A. Macdonald. The mar- quis says that the author will find that all he has said In praise of Sir John Macdonald will “‘be echoed by all of us who knew him." In the course of his article the marquis of Lorne remarks: “English statesmen fear that the Yankee is always longing to twist that much-twisted thing, the lion's tail, but only a ‘newspaper masher’' writes in that tone; and the Canadians, knowing this de- sire, hold their own and carry their chins as high as they like. Take the fishery ques- tion, for instance. Canada knows the value of the fisheries and means to insist on a fair bargain with the United States on the basis of recognition of value. Great Britain is apt to write off half the value when the bar- gaining is being done for something that England thinks of international importance. one of the plenipotentiaries at Washing- ton, Sir John A. Macdonald had to constantly combat this tendency, notably shown by the marquis of Ripon, who was as much inclined to yield to ‘the Americans as he was after- ward anxious to surrender to the Bengal newspapers in India and to Fenlan threats in Ireland.” END OF A SENSATIONAL TRIAL. Estimate of Sir Mme. Jolnenux Found Guilty of Murder ana Sentenced to Death. BRUSSELS, Feb. 3.—Mme. Henrl Joineaux, accused of the murder of three of her re- latives for the purpose of obtaining the insurance on their lives, was this (Sunday) morning sentenced to death. The jury was out only three-quarters of an hour. So long drawn out were the arguments of the lawyers in the famous case, the closing speech of the defense was nct finished until 11 o'clock this morning. There was a period of anxious waiting while members of the jury filed into the court room, where their ~leader solemnly announced: “We find the prisoner guilty on all counts of murdering and administrating poison with the intent to cause the death of Alfred Ablay, the brother of the prisoner; Leonie Ablay, the sister of the prisoner, and Jacques Vanden Kerchow, the uncle of the prisoner.” Then the judges of the assize court pro- nounced sentence of death upon Mme. Joineaux. There were no scenes of undue excitement upon the part of friends of the prisoner. ——————— MAY STRIKE MONDAY. Southern Pacific Must Make Concessions or Engineers Will Quit. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.—Chief Arthur )€ the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was in consultation with the engineers of the Southern Pacific yesterday. F. V. Myer, chairman of the grievance commit- tee, says the trouble between the engineers and the Southern Pacific will be definitely djusted on Monday. It will be either a oncession by the rallroad company or a strike, Mr. Arthur sald: “The engineers have a serious grievance, and it would be impossible for me to say how it will end. There has been a sweep- ing reduction without any good reason for it.. There will be a joint conference of railroad officials and engineers Monday. 1f the compapy does nmot make the conce sion which we think is right and just th will be a strike ordered. Southern Pacific officials scoff at the idea of a strike, and say that an understanding will be reached. Chief Arthur says that perhaps the A. R. U. may feel some resent- ment on accont of the attitude of the en- neers during the late big strike, but he tays that If the engineers decide to strike the A. R. U. cannot affect the result.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Mayor's Delay in Naming An'i-Watson Bill Committee Causes Comment. ¥OTIVES OF [X:CUTIVE IMPUGNED o Replies to Criticlsm and Says that the mmittee Will e Appolnted Today— Citizens Wil Send a Delegation to Lincoln in Any Eveut. At the citizens' meeting held in the council chamber Friday evening to discuss the bill Introduced by State Senator Watson, relegat- ing South Omaha to a city of the class, the mayor was requested to appoint a committee of ten or more to go to Lincoln and lobby with members of the house against the passage of the bill It was expected by those present at the meeting that Mayor Johnston would name the committee at once, but the mayor begged to be excused, as he said he had sickness at home and he was needed. He left the meet- Ing, promising to appoint the committee by noon yesterday. At noon the mayor claimed that he had been too busy and had not been able to see all of the persons he wished to put on the committee. Then he safd that he would have the list ready by 4 p. m. When that hour arrived a half dozen persons stood around on the frozen pavement in front of the mayor's office waiting for the chief execu- tive, but he did not_come. Last evening a Bee representative called at Mayor Johnston's residence and asked for a list of the committee, which was to be sent to Lincoln Monday. In reply to the re- porter’s request the mayor said: “I am afraid we are going to get fooled on this thing; I think we are on the wrong track. However, the mayor said that appoint a committee Monday. Upon learning that the mayor had mot named a committee a well known city off- cial remarked: “There is a colored gentleman hidden the woodpile, and don’t you forget it. ston epent the entire afterncon in Omaha hunting up stock yards people. His refusal to appoint the committee requested by the citizens shows that all the stock yards man- agers have to do is to pull the string and Johnston jumps.” Another man, who thinks that he knows something about South Omaha politics, offers the following solution. “The mayor will neglect to appoint a com- mitteo until it is too late. The bill will be- come a law, and annexation will be forced upon us. Johnston has his wires laid and will bo appointed to represent this town in the city council pending a regular elece tion, and “that job will be worth more to him' than the one he now occupies.” City Treasurer Thomas Hoctor sald that a committea of citizens wbo had the interests of South Omaha at heart would go to Lincoln Monday to work against the Watson Dbill, anyway. They would ignore the mayor entirely and go ahead and hustle for South Omaha and endeavor if possible to defeat the bill in the house of representatives. In an_ interview lato last night Mayor Johnston denied that he had any intention of switching annexationists and_declared that the on the streets to that effect were ab- solutely false. The mayor expects, he said, to mect Mr. Sutton today and then name his committee. SOUTH OMAHA POSTOFFICE, he might in John- Full Text of the Houso Bill Now Being Con- sidered in *tenate.

Troublous timeg are expected in France The perils into which the sensational resig- nation of Casimir-Perier plunged that coun- try have not, in the judgment of careful been removed by the uneventful of Felix Faure. The crisis is mot past. The radical-socialist combination which overthrew the Dupuy ministry on a trifling home question and forced Casimir- Perier into retirement by an unprecedented campaign of denunciation, ridicule, merciless criticism and invective, has already declared war on Faure, whom they régard as a weak and irresolute foe. They apply the most insulting epithets to him, and teach the people to treat him with contempt. There is no reason to think that his ministries will not be as short-lived as those of Carnot, and even if he should be able to withstand the violent attacks of the press—all power- ful in Paris—he will be thwarted in his cfforts by the hostility of the Chamber of Deputies to his political followe So con- fident, in fact, are the sccialists of his speedy political death, that they refer to him as “the last bourgeoise president of France.” If the socialists should prove to be right, rance will soon present a most interesting spectacle. The present alternative to a bourgeois order of soclety is socialism, and a sociaiist president would necessarily at- tempt the realization of the socialist pro- gram of industrial reform. The soclalists do not expect to come into power by regular parliamentary processes. In the present Chamber they command, when thoroughly united, over 100 votes. It fs extremely doubtful whether an appeal to the country would result in any material increase of this representation, but under the most favorable conditions the soctal- ists do not hope to be able to elect a work- ing majority of the Chamber. If, therefor they are so jubilant and hopeful, it is b cause they believe that an upheaval, a_po- litical and sccial revolution, is at hand in France, by which they alone can profit. So demoralized and disorganized are the political parties of France that the failure of Faure to maintain a stable government is almost certain to lead to attempts to overthrow the present political system by force. The socialists in France are more revolutionary than their brethren in Ger- many, England and the United States. In the other countries the methods advocated and adhered to by the bulk of the social- ists are peaceful. But in France the ballot is used only as a substitute for more revo- lutionary means in times when peaceful weapons alone are available. At heart French clalists are revolutionary, and they are anxious for an opportunity of hastening the destruction of the present “bourgeois order’ by force. A political crisis would create their opportunity and serve as the signal for the outbr The working population of Paris and the other great centers of France is saturated with socialism and the revolutionary spirit, and a_ socialist Insurrcction has considérable chance of success. Moderate men in France realize this fact, and it makes them un- easy and apprehensive. THE MEN WHO LEAD. In view of these prospects, it is interesting to know who the present leaders and active representatives of French socalism are. It is they whom a revolution would bring to the front and place at the helm; it is they who would form the socialistic’ government of France. As has already been stated, the scclallst members of the Chamber of Deputies number over 100. Fifty of -these are ont-and- out socialists, the remainder are the sup- porters of Goblet, who Is almost a socialist, but who does not formally .belong to the “party.” He has voted with the socialists on important questions, and would probably bo glad to see the soclalist experiment tested in_France. There are several prominent and able so- clallsts in the Chamber. Thelr chief orator and leader is Jaures, formerly professor of philosophy in the University of Toulouse. His remarkable speeches have often electri- fled the Chamber and influenced the moder- ates in spite of themselves. Every important strike or labor demonstration counts on his co-operation, and he is rapidly becoming very popular with the masses. Jules Guerde, an- other deputy, is one of the party’s intellectual heavyweights. He is belligerent and uncom promising; he distinctly avows that he u politios only as a means of propaganda, pend- ing the day of revolution. Millerand, also a deputy, is the lawyer of the party, who de- fends his comrades in the courts whenever they happen to get into trouble; he is a good speaker and a sincere soclalist, though a first rate wirepuller. Ho Is prominent in the inner councils of the party, and is the “editor-in-chief of the socialist_daily newspaper, Le Petite Repub- liguo Francaise, and has great influence. Clovis Hugues, also in the Chamber, is the poet of the party, and not a bad poet, elther. He began his career as a priest; he is not a strict party man, and has anarchistic lean- ings. Ernest Roche is a Boulanglst, now an active worker and organizer; he is one of the inventors of the combination of soup and soclalism, which is dealt out to the poor at cafes under social'st auspices. He Is one of the editorial staff of Rochefort's great paper, L'Intransigeant. Vaillant, one of the most prominent disciples of Blanqui, the revolu- tionary communist, is also a deputy. Then come Thivrier, chiefly remarkable for his insistence on wearing a blouse in the Chamber, and Baudin, a man of the people, a barber by trade, and one who likes an ounce of action better than a pound of theory. Goblet, the great statesman, who has been minister and premier, may also be numbered among the socialst depeuties. He often works with Millerand, and s in a fair way of becoming a_full-fledged sociallst. Outside of the Chamber of Deputies there are many socialists of influence and strength. Until about a year ago Benait Malon, now dead, was the theoretical leader and’ phil- osopher of French socialism. He was the founder and editor of La Revue Socialiste, a monthly, and is the author of several books. Since his death Eugene Fourniere, a forcible leader writer and clear thinker, has stood In Malon's shoes. Another scclalist leader is Paul Lafargue, son-in-law of Karl Marx. He is a good speaker and writer, and the social- ists regard him as the best interpreter of the Marxian cconomic philosophy. These are tho “coming men” in I'rance in the event of a soclalist triumph. Now, what are their practical proposals? What will they do when in power and for what purpose do they seck power? WHAT THE SOCIALISTS WANT. In a general way every intelligent new paper reader knows that the soclalists wag war ageinst the “wage system,” free com- petition, private cuterprises, etc., and favor the nationalization of all capital and produc tion. But just what dees this proposition in- volye? In the first place, it plainly involves the forcible expropriation of all present owners of land, capital and property. The agents of the socialist government would oust the present holders and proprictors and con- fiscate rything in the name of the central authority. Every citizen would become an employe and servant of the government, rep resenting the commun:ty. Al production and distribution would be carried on by agents of the government under the superyision of a few heads of departments. Buying anl sell- ing would ccase. Banks would be unnece sary. Stack exchanges, boards of trade and sim- flar institutions would dlsappear. There would be no private manufacturers or mer chants. The government would run every- thing and sujply every citizen with goods in return for his labor (n one capacity or other No money would be needed. Labor certifi- cates would be Issued by the govern- ment, and for every day's labor a certificate Juld be given entitling the holder (o a cor- tain quantity of goods in the government stores and ware In place of capital- ists and wage-workers there would one employer, the government, and a nation of public servants Let us follow out this general plan in de- tall.

As all Jand and houses are the property of the goverment, these railroad employes return rome «f their labor certificates to the government in pay ment of their rent for the houses they oc- cupy, while with the rest they buy fced, clothing, furniture, etc. Likewise there is a Dopartment of Agri- culture, directing all agricultural operations Private farmers become employes of the government, and the fruit of their labor goes, not them, but into government warehouses. Like other employes, these agrl cultural laborers get their certificates, which they exchange for all kinds of products in the depots of the government. The mines are also government property, and the product of the mines goes to the appropriate depot maintained for the purpose. The miners and the overseers are all public officials and lcok to the government for their reward. All factories are operated by officials oy pointed for the purpose, the manufactured articles #oing Into government stores. RUN LIKE A VAST MACHINE. Climatic and other conditions determine the choce of localities for specific industries, and instead of relylng upon tho shrewdnoss and insight of private capital, sclentific men in the employ of the government regulate quality and quantity of things produced After ‘the home demand is satisfied, any r maining surplus is exported by agents of the government and exchanged abroad for such commodities as are not produced at home. There would be no unemployed under such a system. Bach man would be obliged to work at some trade, and each would have the right to a decent standard of lving. The government would furnish work and wages to all, As to the principle regulating wages the so- cialists are not agreed. Some maintain that there ought to be one rate for all, and that the secretary of a department, the foreman of a government factory and the brakeman on a train ought to receive the same compen- sation. Others are willing to stand some in- equality, and would reward men according to the importance of their functions. All agree, however, that the government should declde what each citizen is best fitted for, and com- pel him to serve in that capacity. BEducation, of course, would be free and compulsory, Books, magazines and newspapers would be published by the government, since individu- als would not possess the means to run large establishments, nor would they be permitted to hire men to work for them. The same s true of theaters, art galleries and the like. In a word, ail private dealing and enter- prise would be abolished. The nation would become one vast partnership or brotherhood, and the competition for places or means of livelihood would be done away with. Rent, interest on capital, profits, would all disap- pear. All would be workers in the employ of the government. The soclalists are convinced that this is a perfectly feasible plan, and that society is tending toward it. They recognize many difficulties in the way of its establishment and operation, but the evils of the present order, they say, are Inflaitely greater, Po- litical equality and demacracy, they say, is inevitably leading to industrial democracy, which Is ‘socialism. = S WANTS OF SOUTH SIDERS. as all railrosd the franchises of Railroads head, is created tako charge of to Union Depot and Street Rallway Extension Discussed Last Night, A number of the south side people were in atendance at the First Ward Improve- ment club’s meeting last night at 1015 South Eleventh street. The discussion was mostly centered on the question as to the manner in which the differences of the city and the railroad companies could be satisfactorily settled o that the union depot would be lo- cated at the present site, Tenth and Mason. An effort will be made by the south side people to have these differences settled for all time and to have the union depot com- pleted at once. The completion of the union depot at the present site, it was thought, would mot interfere with the proposition of the morth side people to have a depot where all roads could cnter north of the present location. A lively discussion was had on the mayor's veto of the ordinance granting the railroads the land or lots proposed. The club thought the deeding of this property should cut no figure in preventing the depot from being built and was in favor of giving this land to the railroads for the sake of settling the question. The questions of making a driveway out of Eleventh street and having the street car tracks extended to Riverview park on Sixth, Tenth and Thirteenth streets, and the com- pletion or extension of the sewer through the park were also discussed. Councilman Back wished the club to Instruct him Fow to vote on_the levy to be made for the improve~ ment of the parks and wished to get an ex- pression from the club whether It was in favor of a 1 mill or a 1% mill levy, but the club did not desire to take any pubiic action on the matter. A permanent organization was perfected and the following officers elected: M. H. Redfield, president; John Powers, vice presi- dent; Albert Stubt, secretary. A treasurer will be elected at the next meeting. Four committees were created, The depot ommittee to consist of five members; the park, market house and street improvement and street railway committees, to consist of three members each, to be appolnted by the president and announced at the next meeting, Ed J. Qornish, John Butler and Frank Kaspar were appointed a committee to draft a_constitution and bylaws for the governing of the club, Regular weekly meetings will be held each Saturday night at the same place until fur- ther notice is given, ——— COUNTY TREASURER'S BOOKS, Statement Submitted to the Board of County (¥ lssloners Yesterduy.
