THREE TICKETS 0 THE FIELD AT HONOLULY Claimed That th> Indep2nd- e t3 Are Carrying on an Anti-White Campaign. - i HONOLULLU, Oet. 2.—Hawail’'s three- cornered political fight is now fairly Republicans, Democrats and In- pendent Home Rulers all having tickets in the field. The Independents have flun to the breeze at their headquarters a ban- ner bearing a picture of King Kameha- | meha I, the great Hawailan monarch who | first conquered all the islands. This is | taken as something of an appeal to race feeling, the two American parties claiming that it is another proof that the Hawaiian party is carrying on an anti-white cam- paign. The Democratic party has suddenly dis- covered, after it hgd nominated Prince David for Congress and he had gone to the island of Hawail on a stumping tour, that he had not registered and would not be back until too late to do so. This would | have made him ineligible as a candidate. | | The Central Committee to-day chartered interisiand steamer Walaleale and He will be brought to Honolulu as quickly as pos- | sible and given a chance to register, after which he will g0 to Hawaii again and re- | sume his campalgning. The Independents will hold.their regular nominating convention next Wednesday, { when they will put their full ticket in the field. There is no doubt, however, about | the: nomination of R. W.' Wilcox for Con- | | gress or about the general complexion of the ticket. The ‘Registration Board is having a good | deal of trouble in making riflings on dis- puted points regarding registration of | those who wish to vote. Three suits have | already been brought against the board. In the most important case the Supreme | Court ruled that the men whb have no | other homes than on _the interisland teamers are not entitled to register and | vote. This deprives over fifty men in Honolulu of their votes and a few on the other islards. The wholesale merchants of Honoluin have entered into a combination agains: drummers. They say that they do not { want any drummers sent to the islands, and by to-day’s mail all the leading firm: of the Pacific Coast are notified that such is the sentiment of the Hawaiian firms. | lutions ndng!ed volcing the deci- | arry with them a threat that | that do not regard the wishes of the | firms here will' be boycotted in Honolulu. | | All the largest local firme are in the com- | | pact. % | The merchafits clalin that they are obliged io carry very heavy stocks of | goods here, am account of the distance rom the mainland, but that among the | 130,000 gopullflon of the islands only 15,000 are whites, so that the consumption is limited, and that some ‘of the San Fran- | cisco jobbers have been sending drum- mers around who have visited small coun- try hamiets offering goods to the smallest dealers at ridiculously low prices. It is claimed that the lowest quotations are being scattered broadcast. The local firms pledge themselves not to receive bids or examine samples from any commercial traveler and to withdraw patronage from any house that persists in Sending drummers here after being notl- fied of the existing sentiment.

Peipke was arrested in Illinois on a charge of smuggling the rings men- tioned, the contention being that the Philippines as part of the United States are not subject to the tariff laws. Coungel in the case of Alice Weil and others asked leave to have the case dis- missed from the Supreme Court. The mat- ter will be taken under advisement. The Weil case is a companion case to tue famous La Abra mining case, in which a decision was rendered in the Court of Claims last session against the La Abra Company on the ground that they had obtained fraudulently a large indemnity from the Mexican Government. Motions were made to advance five cases involv- ing similar points known as the Ken- tucky railway rate cases. The cases of the United Btates against the Btates of North Carolina, South Car- olina, Florida and Louisiana to-day were dismissed in acordance wiuu the decision of Congress in these cases during the last session. They involve ceértain funds due the United States from tHe four States named. LATEST MESSAGE FROM cm§m BARTLETT Conditions Favorable for the Run to Cape York, Where He Expects to Find Peary.

LONDON, Oct. 9.—John Patrick Crich- ton-Stuart, Marquis of Bute, dled this morning at Dunfries House, his seat in Ayreshire, from paralysis. The late Marquis of Bute was born at Mount Stuart House, in the Isle of Bute, September 12, 1827, and succeeded to the title on the death of his father in 1848. He was educated at Harrow School and Christie’'s. In 1875 he was created a knight of the Order of the Isle, and since 1802 had_been Lord Lieutenant of the county of Bute. The universities of Glasgow, Edinburgh and St. Andrew’'s conferred u‘ggn him the degrees of LL. I:.,and from | 1 to 1898 he was lord rector of St. An- drew's. He presnted the great hall of the buildings to the former. Lord Bute had published a number of translations and several other works, including lectures and eesa: mostly upon Scottish and con-| tinental subjects. He was elected Mayor of Cardiff in 1591 (being the first chosen for such an office since the rei bill), and Provost of Rothsay in 18%. He will be succeeded by his eldest son, John Crichton-Stuart, Earl of Dunfries. Major S. N. Clark. WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—Major Seldon Noyes Clark, a widely known newspaper man, who had been connected with the Washington bureau of the New York Tribune for twenty-two years, died here to-day of heart failure.

S GENERAL REDUCTION IN SETTLERS’ RATES ' Northern Pnciflc"m“y Hopes to | Greatly Increase Its Average of Yearly Immigration. ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 9.—The Northern Pacific to-day announced a general reduc- tion in settlers’ rates from St. Paul | and Chicago to all points between Little | | Falls, Aitken, Minn., and Helena, Spo- | kane, Seattle and Portland, Or.,, com- mencing October 16 next and effective each Tuesday thereafter and including November 21 of the present year and the same days from February inclusive, 1901 These reductions will average a one way and round trip rates reduced from 2 to 40 .per cent, and it is confidently believed by the officials that they will enable the Northern Pacific to increase its average vearly immigration from 40,000 to more than 60,000 people. This low basis of rates is now offered for the first time to Minne- sota, North Dakota, Manitoba, Central Montana and the Palouse, Walla Walla and Clearwater country; also to South Bend and the Grays Harbor country. These new rates meet the reduced rates announced last week by the Great North- ern for the western portion of the road, and also make the same low rates on this end of the line. MAY DISPENSE WITH - DISAPPEARING GUNS Recommendations Made by the Board of Ordnance and Fortifications to Secretary of War. WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—The Board of Ordnance and Fortifications has been holding a protracted session in Washing- ton and adjourned to-day after taking im. portant action regarding disappearing gun carriages. The board has recommended to the Secretary of War that no more dis- appearing gun carriages be made. There has been much contention among army officers for some time, especfally among artillery officers, as to the value of dis- appearing gun carriages for the fortifica- tions for coast defense. The consensus of opinion has been that the disappearing carriage was good for low sites, but the m&goflt{ seems to think that it is not best for high sites. The ‘action of the board, if sustained by the Secretary of War, will be of far-reac! importance in the future of coast de- fenses.

J.. Oct. 9.—Testimony which the authorities believe points strongly to the existence of an organized | conspiracy for the assassination of King Humbert of Italy {s developing at the s cret investigation which Commissioner | | James M. Trimble is conducting in Pat- erson. Luigl Grannotti, treasurer of La Ques- tlone Sociale, the most radical anarchist paper of Paterson and a member of the | Right of Existence group to which Bresci belonged, preceded the assassin to Ttaly, and Commissioner Trimble has adopted a line of inquiry with a view to showing that Grannotti's mission con- cerned the plan to murder the King. Bruno Mazzotta, one of the most active | anarchists {n Paterson, boldly declared while a witness that there were groups which_believed in the killing of kings. Anarchy, he szid, meant the subversion and destruction of ail existing govern- | ments and the doing away with all pri- vate property iiterests. Commissioner Trimble has in his pos- | | session one of several portraits of Bresci, | which were exhibited in different anarch’ ist headquarters in Paterson a few hours | after King Humbert's assassination. Sur. | 'rounding each of these portraits was an inscription, which he is trying to pro | that Mazzotta wrote. The translation is: “‘He had in his heart the tears and hate of the wives and children of those who | were massacred at Milan.

S 0T S0 HOPEFUL OF N SETTLEMENT | | Fear That the Cperators May Reduce Wages After Coal Market Is Supplied “ WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 9.—The lead- | i | ers of the United Mine Workers of this part of the anthracite coal fleld do not speak as hopefully to-night of a settle- ment of the sirike by the Scranton con- vention as they did yesterday. Some of | them are afraid that the offer of a 10 per cent increase in wages made by the com- panies may not last long, and that after the men are back at work for a while and the market is pretty well supplied the operators may reduce wages to the old figure. It is only fair to say, how- | ever, that not all of the mine workers are of this « ion. There is a strong senti- ent prevailing that the companies are incere and that the imcrease of wages will be permanent. In making the advance in wages the operators did not act in concert, but as individuals, so that if the convention in- ts upon a definite understanding with the mine owners a week may elapse be- fore the views of the operators can be had. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 9.—Interview with prominent coal operators here to-day elicited a uniform declaration that no further concessions or modifications of the present offer will be made, and that the miners must take it or leave it just as it | stands. They say it Is plain and complete and contains all they can or will concede. The 10 per cent increase means that every man in the anthracite mines is to have $110 for the work for which he formerly | Teceived $1, the operators say. | SHAMOKIN, Pa,, Oct. $.—President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers came here to-day to take part in a labor dem- onstration and was welcomed enthusias- tically by thousands of striking mine workers.
