Tae Importep Exotisn Grass Browens.— Acting Secretary Batcheller has suspended ac- tion in the case of the twenty-five English glass blowers employed at Jeannette, Pa., until he receives more definite information. He has told Destrict Attorney Lyons of Pittsburg, who has made the reports in the case, that facts and not opinions are what the department needs in the decision of the case, and suggest- ing that the name of the person or persons as- sociated or organization by whom the contract was made is esseutial to the future treatment of the case, Tae New Goverxment Dry Dock at Norfolk was flooded yesterday and the caisson and cofferdam removed.

IvpeMNrTY FoR SzizuRE oF THE Osama.—A letter was received yesterday from Admiral Gherardi, at Port au Prince, Hayti,dated July 25, stating that the Legitime government ‘had delivered $7,500 to the U. 8. minister as an in- demuity for the seizure of the steamer Osama. A Peysioxer 1x _Luck.—In 1883 the pension office granted Richard Whiting a pension of $24 per mouth on account of nervous prostration and impairment of the mind. This allowance Was subsequently increased to $50 per month. Ata still later date the pension was reduced to #8 per month through an error made by a sur- geon who examined the pensioner. Upon aj plication the case has been reopened, and under a decision of Assistant Secretary Bussey of the Interior department the pensioner has been granted an allowance of $72 per month and pension arrears from the date of his discharge, in 1865, at the rates provided in the several acts of Congress enacted from time to time, His arrears will aggregate about $12,000, A Covrt-Marriat, Capt. T. O. Selfridge, president, and Lieut. J. V. B. Bleecker, judge advocate, has been convened to try Lieut. John C.

Conference Between’ Government Of- ficials on the Rate Question. Assistant Secretary Batcheller had a confer- ence this morning with First Assistant Post- master General Clarkson with reference to the telegraph rate question. Mr. Batcheller pointed out the difficulty of carrying out the “‘collec- tion delivery” order, issued the other day, in the service that is constantly going on outside of the department. There is now no rate fixed and agents of the government using the wires in other service than that to and from this city are abliged to | pay what the telegraph company demands at the risk of having their accounts disallowed | later by the auditors, The bills for the service | between this city and other points can be held up pending the decision on the matter of rates. Ex-Controller Lawrence once decided that in making a telegraph contract the new rates were retroactive over the period elapsing be- tween the date of the new contract and July 1, when the old contract expired. It is a question, however, whether this view will be upheld by the _ present administration, as some doubt has been cast upon the legality of the decision. In case, however, this should be adhered to the ‘‘mill-a- word” rate, if finally adopted, will be enforced on all service that has occurred since July 1, instead of the regular commercial rates. The conference did not result im apy decision in the case owing to the absence of Postmaster General Wanamaker, but a clearer uuder- standing into the situation was obtained by the Officials and the conference may lead to a rapid solution of the problem.

A report bas been received at the Navy de- partment from Rear Admiral Kimberly, dated at Samoa, July 11, telling of aid given by him to large numbers of starving natives and others on the islands, He had been requested by the fathers of the Catholic mission at Apia for help, and on his return from Pago Pago, in a small vessel chartered for the trip, he brought back with him from the Monongahela 6,000 pounds of biscuits, 2.439 pounds of rice, 1,000 ounds of oat meal, 1,000 pounds of corn meal, .000 pounds of hominy, 1,000 pounds of wheat flour, and 118 gallons of beans, which, in ac- cordance with the department's letter of May 24, he decmed it wire and proper to turn over to the Catholic mission for distribution among the distressed Samoans. The Monongahela still has for issue large quantities of the same stores. The admiral writes that there is a great scarcity of food, but he docs not appre- hend any lossof life from famine, as there are cocoanuts in sufficient number to keep the peo- bea alive, while the harvest of bread, fruit and ananas Will oon be ripe. He will not dis- tribute any more food among the natives until the necessity is more apparent than at present. There are 160 students in attendance at the Catholic college at Apia, and the fathers have 420 people under their charge. Plans for the Census Office Building. Mr. Smithmeyer, the architect, is preparing plans for a large office building which is to be erected on 9th strect between E and F streets where the Lochiel house now stands, The owner of the property, Mr. John Paul Junes, recently made an agreement with the Secretary of the interior to erect this building for the use of the census office. It will be 38 feet front with a depth of over 100 feet and will be seven stories high. The building will contain two elevators and will be built in a substantial manner, The front will be of brick and stone and will make an effective appearance. The Supreme Bench Vacancy. Attorney General Miller, who is back in Indianapolis for a visit of two weeks, prepar- atory to removing his family to Washington for permanent residence, was asked if there was any foundation for the report that Secre- tary Noble or any other member of the cabinet would be offered the Supreme Court judgeship. He replied: “I do not think the correspondents at Washington know any more about it than the newspaper men of Indianapolis, These reports, so far as I know, are wholly without authority. I think nobody knows what the President will do.” It is still the belief of the most intimate friends of the Attorney General in Indianapohs that he will be appointed to fill the vacancy. A Good Cotton Crop. The August crop report of the Department of Agriculture makes the condition of cotton 89.3, an advance of nearly two points during the month, Since 1880 this average has been exceeded but three times—in 1882, 1885 and 1887. The averages of condition by states are: Virginia, 63; North Carolina, 80; South Caro- lina, 90; Georgia, 91; Florida, 95; Alabama, 90; Mississippi, 88; Louisiana, 92; Texas, 91; Ar- kansas, 93; Tennessee, 78. The caterpillar and boll worm are occasionally mentioned in Mis- sissippi, in Louisiana, and in several counties of Texas, but damage from them is as yet in- appreciable, Secretary Proctor is expected to return to the city next Tuesday. Mr. Roseat P. Porter, the superintendent of the census, left the city last evening for Deer Park, where his family are staying. Ho intends to take a trip through the eastern part of the country next week and will be away about ten days. Tue U.S.8.

Ban Hanzor, Mr., Aug. 10.—President Har- rison has made the following appointments : Samuel F.

Pope of Missouri, consul at To- ronto, Richard G. Lay of the District of Columbia, consul general at Ottawa, SECRETARY TRACY CALLS ON THE PRESIDENT. The U. S. S Despatch reached here this morning with Secretary Tracy on board, and an hour later the Secretary, his daughter, Mrs. Wilmerding, Lieut. and Mrs, Mason and Capt. Cowles called upon the President. The afternoon will be spent on the Sappho by the President and his Secretary of State, THE CONSUL GENERAL TO OTTAWA. Col. Lay is @ son of the late William Lay, who was for many years chief of the mailing division in the city post office. He was born and educated in this city and served gallantly in the Union army during the war. Since then he has been engaged in business, first at Savannah, Ga., and afterward in New York, | and for the past tive years in this city. He was an applicant for the marshalship of the Dis- trict and was very stronzly backed, among hi supporters being Vice President Morton, wile is a sister of Mrs, Lay. sense MRS. MAYBRICK. She Monopolizes Public Attention in London—Efforts to Save H er. Special Cable Dispatch to Tae Eventyo Stan. Lowrvon, Aug.10.—Mrs, Maybrick monopolizes the public attention. No case for twenty years has excited so much interest. The defense was very able, but Judge Stephen secured a con- viction, The very impartiality of his way of putting things added to the force of the strong opinion he had formed on the evidence. to the movement against capital punishment. Very few murder cases and probably no poison- ing cases admit of mathematical certainty of proof, THE ARGUMENT 18 that if public feeling is against an irrevocable sentence in the absence of such certainty it is better to have no death penalty at all, The agitation is partly due to an unreasoning sym- pathy with Mrs, Maybrick. A curious freak of popular feeling is erecting her into « heroine. dies are prepared to present her bouquets and people praise her fortitude. Yet even if inno- cent of a cold-blooded murder, she is guilty on her own showing of carrying on intrigues from her busband’s death bed and helping him to poison himself, The agitation is very strong and includes several leading barristers and doc- tors, but Matthews, the home secretary, un- likely to yield to coercion. He will form an independent judgment and stick to it. Hi success in the Lipski case, where the prisoner's confession followed his refusakof a reprieve, will stiffen him considerably, SEL SOLES THE BEHRING SEA DISPUTE. The Number Who Would Separate Can- ada From the Mother Country. Lonpox, Aug. 10.—The Behring sea dispute has had one effect in England, that of greatly increasing the number of English who would gladly see the dominion separated once for all from the mother country. Several times the people of Newfoundland, by their conflicts with the French fishermen, have nearly em- broiled England and France and there does not appear to be any prospect that the Cans- dians wiil ever be on friendly terms with the eople of the United States. ‘The intense atred between the English and French fac- = also created much uneasiness at ome, CHAMBERLAIN NOW A RANK TORY. Anarticlein Truth unkindly suggests that Joe CfA mberlain, from his past success in nego- tiating fishery treaties, be appointed a royal commissioner with full power to settle the dif- ferences arising from the rivalries of the sealers.

A Desperate Attempt to Overthrow the Government. RIOTERS GAIN Possession ‘or THE PALACE GROUNDS BUT FAIL TO FIND THE KING—A LIVELY PUSILADE BETWEEN THE REBELS AND THE HONOLULU RIFLES—THE RIOT QUELLED. San Franctsco, Aug. 10,—News has just been received from the Hawaiian Islands of an at- tempt to overthrow the government. The Pa- cijie Commercial Adrertiver of July 31 gives | the following account of the affair: A daring, serious and fatal insurrection broke out in this city about4 a.m. yesterday. which paralyzed business for the day and called out the Honolulu Rifles to actual warfare in siege ractice. Two balf-white Hawaiians—Robert W. Wilcox and Robert Boyd—who i been sent at government expense to be educated at an Italian military school, had been plotting in- surrection for some time, but rumors that were current were little heeded until the movement culminated in an armed band of about 150 na- tives marching from Palama to Honolulu, two miles, and ENTERING THE PALACE GROUNDS. From authentic sources we learn that the | rebel rioters formed at Palama and about 3 o'clock a.m. yesterday marched from the suburbs to the city, arriving at the Manka gate of the palace at 4a.m. They knocked at the gate and demanded ad- mittance, and, after some parleying, forced their way in in spite of all opposition. ‘Then the rioters were joined by other squads, and at one time the rebels —_ the palace grounds must have numbered about 250. The king was absent from the palac time, as he slept at the Punch vt dence of his consort. He hastened to his boat house, where he remained during the day un- | disturbed and guarded by about a dozen house- | hold rise Meanwhile the rebels summoned L. 8. Parker | to surrender the palace, but thatoflicer refused. | Seeing the stubborn resistance many of the rebels deserted and Wilcox found that be had scarcely 150 men left, THE GENERAL ALARM WAS SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE cITy and the Honolulu Rifles were immediately or- dered to report at their armories, When the alarm whs first given there was a great deal of excitement, A number of families fled to the top of Punch Bow! hill and a few ladies took retuge at the American legation, where « corps of marines from the Adams was stationed. A cabinet council held early in the forenoon | decided to demand the xarrender of Wilcox and his excellency S.M. Damon, was ap- pointed to carry out the demand, although bis | mission proved to be unsuccessful. He went ‘to the palace grounds but was refused admit- | tance, and at this time three rioters had turned the field fives upon the sharpshooters, who had foun posite, commanding a range of the grounds. “Mr. Damon escaped between the two fires. THE FIELD PIECES OF THE RIOTERS shooters, By 11 a.m. the rioters had all taken shelter in a bungalow situated in the palace grounds. From that time there was little or no firing done by the rebels. | powder bombs at the building where the rebels were and after an hour's bombardment the lockup.

The ingnest was in progrers on the bodies of those killed in the | riot when the steamer Alameda left Honolulu, | August 2. A cabinet mecting was held, but the officials decline to state the result of their con- ference as regards the probable fate of the in- | stigators of the rioters, MANY PERSONS IMPLICATED, It would seem from the remarks of the passengers, which arrived by the Australia last | night, that at least four hundred or five hun- dred more persons had arranged to take part in the insurrection among the people of good standing, both whites and natives. Papers | taken from Wilcox on his arrest led to the ap- | prehension of some well-known people, among | them being the editor of the Hawanan news- paper, Mr. J. E. Brown. King Kalakan, it is | also said, has been informed there was to be an | outbreak and summoned his ministy to take | measures to prevent the insurrection, but they | paid no heed to the warning. On the islands the general impression is that the leaders of the riot will demand a trial by jury of natives, and as the majority of thes were in favor of the uprising. which was to | bave given them more privileges, the chances are they will never be convicted. Wilcox and his men, it is thought, had no in- tention of killing any one. but ogy that by the discharge of musketry and the display of a few field pieces they could capture tue town, a MR. PARNELL’S HEALTH. His Friends Again Very Anxious in Re- gard to it. Lonpox, Aug. 10.—Mr. Parnell’s friends are | again anxious concerning their leader's health. The present session of parliament has witnessed his absence from his seat for prolonged pe- riods, and the exactions of the special commis- sion, whose sittings he has per force attended, have told heavily on his physical and vital strength. His mee from the house has | greatly lessened his hold on his party, many of | Whom believe thut a more active and attentive | leader could have prevented Mr. Balfour's re- cent successes, Mr. Parnell has frequent attacks of chilis, which have greatly weakened him, and it is now certain that his proposed recuperative trip will be of long duration, probably extend- ing over the next eight or ten mouths.

A RAGE FOR THE ELIXIR. Numerous Persons Being Successfully Treated in Indianapolis. Curcaco, Ang. 10.—A special from Indianap- olis, Ind. says: Since an apparently success- ful experiment with the Brown-Sequard elixir upon Noah A. Clark last week no fewer than twenty-five enfecbled and infirm old men in Indianapolis have applied to physicians bere F injections of the substance, and all are now undergoing the first effects of it with varyimg manifestations. Four patients of D: 4 Woodburn, who were each given injections of sixty drops, have been doing things which they have heretofore been unable to do for twenty years. One manread a newspaper in twilight without xpectacies, which he had not done be- fore for ten years. A commercial traveler de- clared that it afforded him reef from chronic spinal troubles, Dr. Punnen, who experi- mented upon the man Clark with much suc- cess yesterday, admin’ 4 the injec to eight persons, six of whom are prominent in busipess, who were averse to having their names made public. EACH WA8s GIVEN 30 DROPS OF THE ELIXIR, Dr, W. B, Fletcher, former superintendent in the Indiana insane hospital is also making ex- periments and all report gratifying results, ex- cept in on » where it had no perceptible effect. Many persons bave been given the im- jection at the city dispensary, and among the decrepit old men of the city the elixir has be. come the rage. Many of the physicians, bi ever, publicly denouuce it as a humbug and re- fuse to have anything to do with the experi- ments that are being made. Dr. Earp. secre- tary of the city board of health, is one of this clase. and by clares the effect is mental and Ue maintains thatif the potion ng effect the patient's mind just as water 5 ed under had & sitoilar physics he proposes to make an experiment to demon- strate the trathfulness of his assertions. Pure water will be used, but the patient will be made to believe that it is the elixir.

The action grew out of the contract for the carrying of express matter which formerly existed be- tween the companies, and which was termi- | mated last February, when the United States express company began scuding its matter over the Reading's lines. It is thought that the dis- pute has been adjusted to the satisfaction of ell parties. — Killed by Lightning. Pier Crrs, Iii, Aug. 10. -Mrs. N.
