THE COMMITTEE. LOUD IS INTRODUCED. Mr. Loud was then introduced and he made a brief speech. He stated that while in Congress he always felt it his duty to aid not only the postoffice em- yes to better their condition, byt all other attaches of the Government. He said that he felt that whatever he had done for them was in line with the per- formance of his duty and ended by saying that when he retired from public life he hoped that it could be said of him that he had performed his duty to the whole people without regard to class. At .the conclusion of Mr. Loud's re- ks he was again loudly cheered. Upon ing the platform Congressman Loud | | 11 | ( | | | passed through the crowd, recelving hearty handshakes from :the postal em- . | pioyes.

HONOLULU, July 24—There is a split in the Theosophist camp in Hawaii, of which there are two branches—one led by Dr. A. Marques and minority of five led by Mrs. Hendricks. The latter faction has been recognized by A. Fullerton, gen- eral secretary of the American section of the Theosophical Society, while the Mar- ques faction has appealed to Colonel Ol- cott, head of the society. The trouble originally arose, more than a year ago, about the appointment of a lecturer, a Miss Walsh. Subsequently there were objections made to the lec- turer, and, during the illness of Dr. Mar- ques, five Theosophists, including Mrs. Hendricks, met and organized so as to | expel Marques from the presidency. All the other_members, seventeen in number, clung to President Marques of the Aloha branch, Theosophical Society. But Secre- | tary Fullerton recognized the minority, as Marques says, ‘“‘because they were eso- terics, like himself, instead of orthodox | Theosophists.” Now it is up to Colonel Olcott to decide who's whoj and whether the Hendricks quintet leads the Theosophical party in Hawail or whether Dr. A. Marques is the | leader with his seventeen faithful follow- | ers. Chinese residents of this city are going | into politics and have held a meeting to canvass _those who are entitled to vote at the Territorial election. Thejr idea is to affiliate with the Republican party, and a preliminary organizing committee | has been appointed. A mass meeting of the Hui Kuokoa, bolters from the Home Rule party, will be held to-night under the leadership of Prince Cupid. Their jdea is to educate the young Hawallans in progressive poli- tics.” Another feature of this new party is to capture the Republican primaries wherever there is a chance to do so and in this way secure the election of men | who are friendly to the Home Rule cause. | The Wilder Steamship Company seems | i i | | % g g % §_ | with the barkentine Willlam Carson. Af- ter appealing to every possible court the Wilder company has already some $60,000 in judgments and costs:to face for its responsibility in the collision which resulted in the loss of the barkentine. Now comes Katherine Piltz, wife of the Carson’s master, who seeks to recover $901 80 for dresses, satin waists, jewelry handkerchiefs, a sewing machine and ot er personal effects, all of which, it is al- leged, were lost at the time of the sinking of the Carson. It is said that other suits will follow, aggregating nearly $2000 in claims. The Board of Health has been making a vigorous crusade against rats, but it has | fafled. A dozen inspectors have been en- | gaged in distributing poison and traps, but Chinese and Japanese have been | throwing_them away as soon as the in- spectors left their buildings. The net re- sult of the roundup has been forty rats | at an average cost of $250 per rodent, be- sides the loss of poison and traps. Honduras Controls Bay Islands. LONDON, July 3L—The Associated Press is- officially informed that the British Government has exercised no con- trol over the Bay islands since 1859, when they were ceded to Honduras. 'Hence any appeal of the inhabitants of those islands to the captain of the British war- ship Psyche must have been met with a refusal, accompanied by the foregoing ex- planation.

The dove and deer season opens in Cal- ifornia to-day. Huntsmen are hieing themselves to various parts of the State and within a few days tales of big bags and heavy execution among the pronged animals will be told on every hand. Re- ports from different sections of the State show that birds and bigger game are numerous. Following is a collection of reports received by The Call from the best hunting grounds: RIDDLE, DR.—Dove shooting in this viein- ity fair, but the birds are not very plentiful. Hunting grounds can be found within a quar- ter of a mile from the depot. The deer hunt- ing is excellent this season and no end of them very close to town ‘n the hills. The best grounds, however, are from two to ten miles Teams and pack horses can be had at Hotel Riddle. DUTCH FLAT, CAL.—Local sportsmen say it looks like a good segson for deer. The hunt- ing grounds are from/six to ten miles distant from the station and all the hunters usually | g0 by team from here and make a day of it by hunting and fishing, the fishing being good at present. Doves are somewhat scarce thus far. : EUGENE, OR.—From interviews with relia- ble sportsmen we find that prospects for deer this season are better than they have been for several years. For hunting deer the last part of August or the first of September will be the best. The best hunting grounds are about fifty miles distant up the Willamette River. For the month of October the best grounds | for hunting are fifty miles up the McKenze River, There are no doves in this vicinity, but there are a good number of pheasants, which can be found in any direction. ANTIOCH, CAL.—Doves are quite plentiful in this vicinity and the hunting grounds are about two miles from the station, JUNCTION CITY, OR.—The nearest deer hunting is_about twenty miles west of this station and the best place is In the Lako Creek country. The lake is about three miles long and two miles wide, and as there are no boarding houses or hotels a person going would have to go by private conveyance and be prepared to camp out. Deer are plentiful there; also fishing i good and there are good camp- ing places. Private conveyances can be se- cured here for the trip for about $5. MARYSVILLE, CAL.—Doves are quite plen- tiful and can be found most anywhere within a distance of about three to twelve miles of the station. VOLTA, CAL.—Falr dove shooting may be had at a distance from two to ten miles from this station, Saddle horses and teams with guide or driver can be had here; also hotel accommodations. The deer hunting grounds are distant from ten to fifteen miles from this station. EMIGRANT GAP, CAL.—The deer hunting grounds are distant from three to ten miles from this station, and plenty of grouse and quail in season. No_dove shooting, but good trout fishing in Bear River, distant three miles, Yuba River, four miles, and Lake Spalding, six miles from station, VENTURA, CAL.—There s every promise of most excellent dove shooting and a good shot should be able to bag the limit of fifty in a day’s shooting. The hunting grounds are about five miles north of Ventura and continue to Nordhoff, sixteen miles distant from Ven- tura, Headquarters should be made at Ven- tura from where the trip and return can be readily made In & day by livery rig. Deer signs are good and it is said that deer are plentiful in the hills surrounding Nordhoff, where headquarters should be made, PIRU, CAL.—Think the dove, quall and cot- tontall shooting will be pretty ‘fair in the im- mediate vicinity. That is, parties could prob- ably come up one day and return the next and get a pretty good bag of game. The mountain hunting ground is about ten to fifteen miles distant, W. P. Whittaker, who is a Govern- ment forest ranger, has a ranch about ten miles from here in what is called the ‘“‘Devii’s Potrero,”” which is a headquarters for hunt- ing and camping parties. Understand the camping grounds are excelient at his place and From this place rties can start in the morning and go far- ther up in the mountains, where they say bear, deer, mountain lion and wildcats and any quantity of small game can be found. The trout fishing is said to be exceptionally good this season. Mr. Whittaker will meet par- tles going out to camp at the depot. There is no stage, PHOENIX. OR.—This place is situated in a small valley twenty-five or thirty miles in extent surrounded by mountains and heavy timber abounds with game. Distance from the station to good hunting from ten to twenty miles. = KING CITY, CAL—Doves, quail and rab- bits can be found in abundance anywhere from OFFERS T0 BUY ORIGINAL STOCK Chicago,Rock Island and Pacific Road to " Reorganize.

Wilson, a farmer living near Herndon, Va., who was captured this morning near Ashbury, Va., was lynched this after- nocn one mile east of Leesburg, Va. He was taken from the jail at Leesburg by a mob of 10 men, who overpowered the guard, broke in the outer door and then entered the cage, using hammers and crowbars. They encountered little resist- ance. A noose was then thrown around the prisoner’s neck and he was.led down the pike in the direction of the scene of the murder. The mob had proceeded scarcely a mile when the rope was tarown around a tree and Craven was pulled from the ground. Fully 500 shots were fired at the dying man. Before Craven was lynched he was given an op- portunity to make a statement. He pro- tested that he was innocent. Men, women and children who lined the road from the jail to the scene of the execution cheered the mob. | Gevernor Montague was appealed to by the officers of the commonwealth and he ordered the Alexandria Light Infantry to the scene, but the mob accomplished its work before the arrival of the soldiers. L e e e e . peny will become the owners, as issued, of the capital stock of the Iowa company.
