HAWAIIAN TREASON TRIALS.
S.me Plots and Court cr Plots Vlbch have
Racked Homlulu Smce the Days Wncn
KaiaWaua Was K rig.
Honolulu, Feb. S, via San Francisco, Kebi
15.—Liliuokuluni l.»omis, ox-qut-on of llu»
wail, waa arraigned the 5th instant on a
charge of misprision of treason. The orig-
inal charge was treason. She is represent-
ed by Paul Neumann. After the opening
charge was made the matter went over for
a day. The case was called again the day
before yesterday. The deposed monar h
refused to plead, so a plea of not guilty
was entered. The work of examining wit-
nesses was gone 011 with and enough evi-
dence secured to prove to an impartial ob-
server that she was aware the rebellion j
was to be started.
The most damaging evidence that is to ;
be brought against her will be her present
diary, which was found in her residence |
after her arrest. The ex-queen recorded \
her thoughts and Intentions very freely in j
her diary. Among the entries made during j
last summer was one stating:
"J. O. Carter called to-day and delivered |
President Cleveland's present to me."
What this present was is not stated.
The queen records herself as favoring .
a waiting policy, confident that the Amer- !
icon administration will interfere in her be- ]
half.
After President Cleveland's answer to the J
commission she became more aggressive 1
and began to listen with more favor to |
those urging an uprisal of the natives. Uu- j
dolph Spreckels called to see her often and j
is represented as advising her to light it j
out. She did not agree with him until dur- !
ing his Inst stay in Honolulu he indicated j
that sh»i could get plenty of money in San ;
Francisco to buy arms and carry out a I
successful rebellion. He is also represented j
as a willing agent of her ladyship. The ;
last entry of the diary was made December
L*S, 1894, and closed with "Signed eleven !
commissions to-day."
These were the commissions for the of-
ficers of the new government referred to
in the testimony of her private secretary.
The documents have been concealed or de-
stroyed and her attorney has endeavored
to prove that they never existed.
The Warrimoo's departure for Victoria j
was delayed for two hours in order to gi\e '
Johnstone. Muller and Cranston, the ban- I
ished men. opportunity to see their re- |
spectlve counsels. Cranston saw Minister 1
Willis, who protested to the government. ,
claiming it had no right to send the men
out of the country without first giving
them a trial. After the steamer sailed
Minister Willis boarded the Philadelphia
and had a conference with Admiral Beards-
ley. The movements of Willis are anxi-
ously awaited, and it is said the govern-
ment fears he will call the Philadelphia to
his aid in case the government decides to
hang William Seward, one of the men con-
demned by the military court.
"Since last advices the military court has
tried twenty-one native rebels V. V. Ash-
ford, John Cummings, .John Wise and Cap-
tain Davies. Cummings and Da vies both
pleaded guilty to the charge of treason.
The latter was master of the steamer Wal-
m&nalo, the vessel which landed arms for
the rebels.
A well defined rumor says that Admiral
Urardsley had instructions to raise the
tlaff of the United States over Pearl Har-
bor. It is indicated that the United States
government will take possession of the
harbor under guaranteed treaty rights and
virtually declare a protectorate over the
islands. Admiral Beardsley is said to be
vested with the authority necessary to car-
ry out the programme.
C. C. Mooreen, who takes a lively inter-
est in Hawaiian affairs, recently wrote to
Robert Wilcox, one of the condemned rebel
leaders, saying he had been assured by
Senator Hawle.v and other prominent men
that President Cleveland and Minister Wil-
lis were both ready to recognize the rebels
if they were successful
While the trial of the ex-queen was in
progress yesterday she was placed on the
stand in her own behalf. The direct exam-
ination was concluded by a statement writ-
ten by'her, which was filed. It begins with n
history since the time she was deposed and
goes 021 to say that she was entirely ignor-
ant of the proposed uprising; that it would
not have received her sanction and that,
had she known of It, she would have dis-
suaded the leaders from the attempted over-
throw of the existing government. She ad-
mits that she contemplated certain appoint-
ments when restoration was accomplished.
She says that prior to her abdication on
January 24 she called upon her people "to
recognize this republic of Hawaii as the
only lawful government of the Islands."
She goes on to say that the abdication
was not due to intimidation but by i- uinsel
of good friends, and that she acted on her
own free will. She denies the right of the
court to try her.
It Is thought she will be convicted and
sentenced by the military court, but al-
lowed freedom on her own recognizance.
The next case to be tried will be that of
Jonah Kanioaale. He was a prince under
the monarchy and was to 'be king in ease
the rebellion was successful. The queen
was to abdicate In his favor in order to
keep Princess Kiaulanl from tiie throne.
This fact was well known to the English
residents.
The government is collecting evidence
against Rudolph Spreckels, but no move
will be made In his case until the authori-
ties are absolutely certain that he was
mixed up in the rebellion. It was deter-
mined to send Carl Widemann away, and
he was put aboard the (Mariposa for San
Francisco with another man named Win.
France. A number of men now under ar-
rest will be allowed to leave the country
with the understanding that they can not
return without the permission of the gov-
ernment.
I'p to this date the military has disposed
of s.xty-flve cases. They convicted sixty-
two men and acquitted two, and one case,
that of the queen, is pending.
NEWS FROM GUATEMALA.
New York, Feb. IS.—A special to the
World from Guatemala says: In official
circles it is said a settlement with Mexico
will be reached in a month at least. It is
hoped that the influence of the United
States government will greatly aid in
reaching an agreement honorable to both
parties. Reports have reached here that
Mexico's foreign minister, Mariscal, and
the Guatemalan envoy, De Leon, have
practically arrived at an understanding
and are now discussing details. Hut the
government refuses to give any informa-
tion.
Engineers will go Immediately to the
front. It is reported, so as to finish their
surveys in the present month, in order to
turn over to Mexico the lands claimed by
her. War preparations continue, however,
and the troops are drilled daily.

DISCUSSING SILVER.
The White Metal Subject of Debate in the j
Reichstag.
Berlin, Feb. 15.—Count Mirbach, a Ger-
man conservative. Introduced a resolution
In the : u hstag to-day Instructing the fed-
eral government of Germany to Issue in-
vitations for an internal monetary confer-
ence to take measures to bring about the
rehabilitation ftf sliver as a circulating
medium. Mirbaoh said the moment had
now arrived for Germany to take the in
itlatlve to settle the question, which is one
of great importance, it is one of life and
death for husbandry. Bimetallism would
cause a rise of prices in England, where
gold w is currency. America would either
absorb Germany's gold or adopt a pure
silver standard and capture the whole east-
ern trade.
other supporters said they indorsed the
position that Germany had taken at the
monetary conference in 1S93. namely, that
s'he regarded an international agreement
upon a ratio between gold and silver as
being desirable.
Dr. Thebarth, radical-unionist, said the
Brussels conference had proved a fiasco
and the silver conference held in Germany
in 1891 was fruitless. There was little or
no connection between the depression in
husbandry and the Introduction of the gold
standard.
Count Herbert Bismarck said the failure
of the Brussels conference was partly due
to the absence of an entente between the
powers which took part In it. The Berlin
congress of 1878 arrived at a result. Both
Great Britain and Russia had previously
reached n basis for an agreement. An In-
ternational entente upon the currency ques-
tion would be arrived at in the course of
time, and In the case of Great Britain the
feeling was growing in favor of bimetal-
lism.
In conclusion Count Herbert said: "It
gives me great pleasure to see how warmly
my friend Balfour has taken up the cause
in that country."
Herr Schlenk contended that the intro-
duction of bimetallism would lead to a fall
hi the value of currency and would prom-
ise nothing but a hopeless future to the
| workmen. Dr. Lieber of the center party
! said the centrists willingly supported the
I measure, because they saw in the proposed
conference an attempt to remove the dif-
ficulties in regard to the monetary stand-
ard—a question which was of paramount
importance to commerce.
Chancellor von Hohenlohe declared that
he was inclined to favorably consider a
proposition for an interchange of views on
the subject with those states which were
concerned in the silver question. The de-
bate was then adjourned.

vi: it in south Texas, Including brief stays |
at Galveston and Ban Antonio. Regard- I
In: 1- . it to the letter city he said: "I '
ly with the cattlemen in that •
st-ytion •• nd went over the whole situation ,
with them. So far 110 great loss has re- j

nowfall, a«< it not only insures an ample j
supply of water for stock, but an unusually
early spring, with an early movement of
grass fed cattle from this section to the
northern markets, all of which will com-
mand a good price. It is not often that
prospects are brighter in that section than
at present. The cattlemen 1 met on my
rounds were all cheerful and no loss worth
mentioning in that section will result. As
•0 th" northern ranges, despite the cold
ami snow, reports have been far more fa-
vorubl than was anticipated, although
losses may result in the early spring. It
is a fa 1 t. however, that cattle this winter
1 avc withstood the cold far better than
the most sanguine anticipated. This fact
is due to the remarkably good condition
they were in at the- outset. There is a

'JY as on the ranges this year, however, re-
sulting from the fact S' .it the range own-
ers and ranchmen have devoted but little
attention to breeding in recent years, but
have rather paid special attention to stock-
ing the ranges from the farms of the state.
There are still plenty of cattle on the
farms, however, and the sum total of cat-

but little if any short of former years."

THE BROOKLYN STRIKE.
Investigation Begun by a Legislative Com-
mittee.
Brooklyn, N. Y. Feb. 15.—The legislative
committee appointed to Investigate the
cause* of the trolley railroad strike began
its labors here to-day.
M. J. Connelly, the manager of the strike,
stated the case for the operatives. He al-
leged that the principal cause of the diffi-
culty was that the companies had failed to
put Into practice what It Is known as the
ten-hour law, the men being required to
work over ten hours a day and In some
Instances as long as eleven hours and
twenty to forty-rive minutes, while the
laws specified that they should be required
to work but ten hours within the twelve
consecutive hours. Mr. Connelly said he
did not consider that the employes had
struck, but that the situation had been
forced upon them by the action of the
companies in the locking out of between
200 and 300 of the workmen upon their
lines upon their refusal to take the places
of the mo tor men and the conductors. An-
other cause was that the companies wished
to increase the number of "trippers" pay-
ing by the trip, whereby the men would be
obliged to be In attendance from twelve to
fourteen hours a day, and would be unable
to <*arn more than 50 or 80 cents a day.
i\lr. Connelly said the number of trips and
the speed had been increased, ami that
there was more responsibility attached to
the work of motormen. He had never
been required to make up lost time, but
he knew of other motormen who had been
told to do so.

THE HAY WARD CASE.
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 15.—The event of
the day In the Hay ward case was the testi-
mony of M. D. Wilson, who was called by
the defense. Mr. Wilson asserted that the
lawyers for both sides had called on him
for information, but he absolutely declined
to talk until placed on the stand. There-
fore neither side was aible to know what
the nature of his testimony would be. In
answer to questions he said he had known
the murdered woman for several years,
when he had kept a livery stable downtown.
He was sure that It was she who was in
the Gasman the night of the murder. 'He
did not know that the man with her at the
time was Harry Hayward, for he had n it,
up to that time, met the defendant. Two
weeks later when he saw him at the police
station he recognized him.
This statement was evidently quite n
shock to the defense and was also a sur-
prise to the prosecution. Court adjourned
soon after, as Mr. Rrwin had no other wit-
nesses ready. Among the other witnesses
examined during the day was Charles Barle-
ton, the attorney, whose 'laughter Mabel
went to the theater with Harry the night
of the murder. He said that Harry came to
the house about 7.r»5 an l that he and the
young lady left in a very few minutes.
They returned about 10.40 o'clock. Mr. Bar-
leton further said that he had been inter-
viewed by Harry as to the proper manner
In which* to have assignments of insurance
made and had given advice.
THE IRWIN CASE.
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 15.—The testimony
in the case against George M. Irwin, the
discretionary pool operator, for false pre-
tense was closed to-day and the arguments
were made by the counsel. There was no
get satlonal evidence introduced to-day.
Roger OWIara, chief of police, was called
and testified to being in New York last
November and meeting Mr. Irwin at the
Metropolitan hotel, but denied having had
an appointment with him.
The defendant was recalled and asked
about some reported deals in which he was
concerned. The arguments were then be-

Tim e of the -convicts, seeing the engine
loose from the train, jumped aboard of it,
knocked 'the conductor off and the fire-man
down, pulled out the throttle wide open and
attempt* 1 lo escape. The guards began
tiring on them, killing one of the convicts,
seriously wounding one and slightly
wounding the ether. The engine ran about
half a mile, when one of them jumped off
and made his escape. The fireman had two
holes shot in his hat.

REMAINS EN ROUTE.
El Paso, Tex.. Fob. 15.—1The news of Min-
ister Gray's death in Mexico was a great
surprise here, where he had many friends.
The remains will arrive here by express
Monday morning, when they will be escort-

committee of citizens and a detachment of
troops stationed at Fort Bliss.
HIS CAREER.
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 14.—Isaac Pusey
Gray was born in Chester county, Penn-
sylvania, October 18, 1828. He was a son
of John Hannah Gray. His ancestors all
belonged to the Society of Friends, his
great grandfather having emigrated from
England with William Penn and settled in
Chester county. His parents moved from
Pennsylvania to Urbana, O., In 1S36, thence
to Montgomery county In 1889. thence to
New Madison, Darke county. In 1S40. There
they died. Isaac Gray received a common
school education and being ambitious and
of studious habits he early entered upon
the study of law. His poverty, however,
compelled him to accept a clerkship in a
mercantile house at New Madison. Here
his close appll. atlon and strict integrity
soon raised him to a partnership in the
business and In a few years he became
sole proprietor in the establishment. In
1845 he removed his family to Union City.
Ind., where he resided for many years aiid
where, after successfully continuing the
mercantile business for a few years, he en-
tered upon the practice of law.
Mr. Gray was colonel of the Fourth In-
diana cavalry In the civil war. He made
a creditable record and remained until dis-
charged on account of ill health. Return-
ing home he regained his wonted energy
and recruited the Forty-seventh Indiana
Infantry, In 1866 he was selected as tr>«
candidate for congress against Hon. W
W. Julian, who had long represented that
district in the house of representatives.
After a close contest he was defeated by
about S0(' votes. Two years later he was
elect« d to the state senate, where he re
mained four years. In 1890 he ws* tendered
the consulate at St. Thomas, West Indies,
but Mr. Gray declined the honor. As a
young man he was a member of the whig
party, but acted with the republicans dur-
ing the war. Since 1871 he has been an
active member of the democratic party,
serving as a member of the Indiana d( lega-
tion to the convention In 1872. lie was
nominated by acclamation on the demo-
cratic ticket for lieutenant governor, was
elected to that honorable position in 1876
and renominated for the same place in 1880
by the state convention.
In 1884 Mr. Gray was elected governor of
Indiana on the democratic ticket and
served his full term. After retiring from
that office he followed the practice of his
profession in this city in partnership with
his son, Pierre Gray, until he was called
to the Mexican mission by President Cleve-
land about two years ago.
Ill 1865 he married Miss Ellse Jacque of
Darke county, Ohio. They have two chil-
dren living. Pierre, a lawyer in this city,
and Bayard, who has been actinic .as his
father s private secretary in Mexico.
Mr. Gray held a large Influence in the
politics of Indiana, had an excellent judg-
ment of men and things and was well bal-
anced by his knowledge and experience.
He had a handsome personal appearance
and courteous ways.
Dr. Charles W. Zaremba of Chicago is
in Galveston for the purpose of looking
into the establishment of a line steamships |
from Galveston to Tampico. The gentle- j
man arrived yesterday morning from the j
city by the lake and was immediately j
taken in hand by the Messrs. Reymers-
hoffer, with whom he had been in corre-
spondence for the past three years in re-
gard to the steamship line. He met the
leading citizens of Galveston and although
but little business was broached he feels
confident of the outcome of the matter.
It might, be well to state here that Dr.
Zaremba is quite a personage in his way.
He it was who originated the idea of a
world's fair. The doctor says he began
laying plans for the event immediately af-
ter the centennial in 1876. He it was who
invented the American district telegraph
company's scheme and the present street
corner letter box. For the past ten years
he has been the special agent of the Mex-
ican government for the tinted States and
Europe, and in such capacity has traveled
all over the world.
In conversation with the gentleman yes-
terday a News representative gleaned
much interesting information.
"The line of steamships running between
Tampico and Mobile is not satisfactory,"
said he. "Fruits and woods and other
products of the Mexican coast country
ought to find a nearer market, and Galves-
ton is the port to which the shippers are
looking for relief. Along the Tanesi river,
a tributary of the Panrieo, near the mtiuth
of which Tampico Is situated, are grown
the finest bananas in the world. The fruit
Is brought to Tampico by Indians in canoes
and unloaded at the wharf. Tampico har-
bor, you know, has a depth of thirty feet
and over. A bar was in the way, as in the
case of Galveston, but jetties built by the
Mexican Central, subsidized by the govern-
ment, soon made a deep channel, through
which any ship may pas's.
"There is an immense quantity of pre-
cious woods such as mahogany, ebony,
cedar, rose, tulip, etc., which could be
floated down to Tampico, brought to Gal-
veston and here sawed un for distribution
in the United States. Wild honey Is to be
found there In immense quantities. There
are hundreds of thousands of acres of rub-
ber trees along the coast equal to any-
thing ever used in the manufacture of rub-
ber goods. Mexico is also a splendid coffee
•ountry. The coffee grows wild. There
are also immense quantities of fibrous
plants, which can be used the same as
jute for bagging, brushes, etc.
"A steamer could be run from Tampico
'o Galveston In thirty-six hours. The late
Captain Charles Fowler used to run steam-
ers from here to Tampico, but for some
reason took them off and none have been
regularly run since. We don't ask for any
money in establishing this line. All we
want is simply an assurance that we will
he given facilities for handling our prod-
ucts. I will remain here until the return
of Mr. Polk from New York, when there
will be a conference between all the in-
terested parties to the deal.
"Galveston should do everything to have
a treaty arranged between the United
States and Mexico to further facilitate
frade relations. Such a treaty has been
Irawn up. Galveston, as the nearest port
if prominence, is especially interested. We
must open every possible channel for the
manufacture of goods and for the impor-
ation of the raw material at reasonable
•ates. American goods are preferred in
Mexico to those of other countries because
of their superiority, and the people of
Mexico are willing to pay our prices."
Dr. Zaremba gave several instances
where Mexicans were even now paying
three and four prices for American goods,
made necessary by the almost prohibitory
tariff. He is a most interesting and en-
tertaining conversationalist.

A BKAVE RESCtTC.
A Little Woman Saves Two Boys From !
Drowning in a River.
Hennessey, Ok.t Feb. 15.—-While driving j
along the highway that skirts the banks of
Indian river, In the Cherokee strip, this
morning. Mrs. Charles Clancy, wife of a
settler living near Cleo Springs, heard loud
cries for -help. Jumping from the buggy,
she ran to the river bank and saw four
young boys floundering In the river, whMi
was ten feeit deep at that point. She found
a long pole on 'the bank and rushed out on
the ice and b.gan the rescue. Charlie Em-
erson and Silas Morgan were rescued by
the brave woman, who is very small and
weighs but a little over 100 pounds, but up-
on this occasion she seemed to possess the
strength of a Sandow. The other two boys,
Grant Ellis and Lionel Montgomery, strug-
gled manfully for their lives but their
strength gave out and they sank from
sight. Their bodies were recovered after
two hours' search by the neighbors. As the
search for their bodies began the mothers
and sisters of the you-ths paced up and
down the bank sobbing and walling pite-
odsly, while the parents of the rescued
boys repeatedly kissed and caressed the
brave little woman who rescued their idol-
ized from a watery grave.

QUARTETTE SOCIETY CONCERT.
People who risked pneumonia, bad colds
and all sorts of things to attend the enter-
tainment provided by the Galveston quar-
tette society and sat with their coat col-
lars tucked about their ears in the Grand
opera house last night were really glad
they had come. Their only regret wa.s
that they did not bring their blankets.
But it was a grand entertainment. Sucn
voices as were heard last night were worth
traveling miles in a blizzard to hear. That
splendid tenor of Herr Anton S.hott and
the powerful soprano of Mme. Franceses
Guthrie-Moyeri If only Clark could have
been tossed aside on Friday of last week
and Mme. Guthrie-Moyer been placed in
Tavary's shoes! Ah, then we would have
had "Tannhauser!" What a Tannhauser
what an Elizabeth the two would have
made—only the settings would have hai
to have been more expansive. Mme. Gttth-
rle-Moyer's rendition of the song of Eliza-
beth at the beginning of act second, read-
ing, "Oh, hall of song, I give thee greet-
ing," etc., was magnificently given, as was
her encore selection "Er ist gekommen,"
by Robert Franz.
Herr Schctt completely captivated the
audience. His selection from "Lohengrin"
was followed by Schumann's well known
"Die Beide Grenadiere." The grand mili-
tary strains of th's piece were given with
a patriotic emotion by Herr Schott, and
the storm of Thursday wasn't a maiker
t.o the storm of applause which followed.
Herr Arthur Fickensher, the pianist, has
not the stage presence of the two singers,
but he can play. His "Polonaise" was fol-
lowed by an impromptu in E flat, Chopin,
was an exquisite bit of work. His technique
is admirable and his reading beautiful.
And th? Quartette society. So much ha=
been said of this magnificent male singing
society that more praise would be like
putting maple sugar in honey. They were
at their best. The "Annie Laurie" as ar-
ranged by Dudley Buck is one of the
sweetest things ever written for a male
quartette, and its rendition last night was
as nearly perfect as possible. Mr. Becker
deserved bouquet.

SCOTCH-IRISH SOCIETY.
Sixth Annual Banquet Given at Philadel-
phia Last Night. •
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 15.—The Philadel
phia Scotch-Irish society held Its sixth an-
nual banquet at the hotel Bellevue to-
night. A large number of distinguished
guests attended.
The speakers of the evening were Secre-
tary of the Navy Herbert, Senator Man-
derson of Nebraska and Representatives
Hatch of Missouri and Grosvenor of Ohio.
Colonel A. K. McClure presided.
Secretary Herbert was the ilrst speaker.
He said in part: "When I received the
kind invitation you sent me to join in thIp
dinner 1 was glad to accept It, for there Is
a smart bit of Irish blood in my viens and
a smaller one of Scotch, and I thought I
could claim klndredness and have thu
claim allowed. We descended from the
very best stocl; but we are improvements
on that stock.
"Gentlemen, aristocracy as it is under-
stood in Europe, is contrary to the letter
and genius of our institutions and no man
here would have it otherwise. Yet there
is a prid»' of race, a pride of ancestry that
is la edible, enobling.
"When I was a boy In the south and
the institutions upon which the foundation
of social life in the north and south were
so widely dissimilar, the doctrine was fa-
miliarly taught that the line that separated
America into two peoples had been drawn
by surveyors, Mason and Dixon, across the
continent from east to west. But that
line of demarcation exists no longer. It
has been wined out forever.
"I don't think there Is any more striking
illustration of the real sentiment in the
south to-day than the affectionate and con-
tinuously growing respect in that section
for the memory of Lincoln, who, I believe,
was of Scotch-Irish descent. Born in a
slave state, reared in a free state. Abraham
Lincoln was the spirit Incarnate of the
struggle for th.» preservation of the union,
slavery or no slavery.
"He wrote to Horace Greely: *If to pre-
serve the union it is necessary to preserve
s a very, I am for the preservation of slav-
ery.'
"Fortunately It was orda'ned that slavery
was to go d »wn. With Abraham Lincoln
the n it.en was indeed 'the paramount ob-
ject of patriotic desire.'
"Lincoln was patient, kindly and broad-
hearted enough to do justice to the motives
and to the valcr even of his enemies when
they had arms of their hands. It was while
looking over the battlefield of Gettysburg
that be ;>aid in reply to an officer who had
remarked that the Amer^ans who had
held their heads high woubi live In history,
'That was true, but the Americans who
have charged those heights will also live in
history.' "
In conclusion Secretary Herbert said the
time was past when might makes right,
wheth r for Individuals or for nations.
"Our national government must do /hat
which is right unto all its people and to
all nations and rulers on earth, great and
small, and thus will be like the sunset on
the hill—fair to see, an example of the
world of wisdom, t.he justice and boundless
1 benevolence of free Institutions."

Peoria, 111, feb. is -A suit t*
here bat^een tho Peoria gtr&'wtoosrd com-
pany and tha American strawboard com-
pany, commonly known as the strawooard
trust. The Peoria mill was leased and 6hut
down by the trust on a rental of $5^00. The
trust defaulted in the payments and suit
was brought. The trust opposed the ad-
mission of contracts and leases on the
ground that the contracts wen in restric-
tion of trade and therefore illegal, and
should not be used in evidence for that
reason. The court decided that the con-
tracts should *be admitted. The general
officers of the trust are here fighting tl\e

SPORTING TOPICS.
LEAGUE AMERICAN WHEELMEN.
New York, Eeb. 15.—Widespread Interest
Is manifested in the annua.1 meeting of
the league ot American wheelmen, which
will be held in this city next Monday. It
is expected to be the most important meet-
ing ever held in the history of the league.
Plans will be devised for the improvement
and growth of organization and amend-
ments to the constitution numbering over
thirty have been proposed and will be act-
ed upon.
In consequence of the many changes sug-
gested it is thought the session will con-
sume about two days, as much discretion
will have to be exercised In order to ac-
cede to the demands of all divisions and
still maintain harmony I11 all Ihe divisions.
The members of the New Jersey division
are confident that their efforts to secure
the national meet for Asbury Park will
be successful. They now claim to have
promised the support from delegates in
all divisions in the league.
Delegates to the assembly will arrive
in town Sunday evening. If the Massa-
chusetts delegates find that they can only
have the choice of first vice president It
Is assumed that they will take the oppor-
tunity offered them by this means to enter
the league.
The candidates for president and treas-
urer. A. C. Wlllison and A, E. Mergen-
thaler, will have no opposition, but consid-
ering the divided' opinions existing among
the respective divisions, it is believed that
some changes may be ma^le for the offices
of the first and second vice president.
W. W. Watts of the Louisiana division
of the league of American wheelmen an-
nounces that he will be at the national as-
sembly meeting and will oppose the change
In the membership rule admitting colored
wheelmen. The passage of the amendment
last year, debarring colored men from
membership, was due largely to the work
of the west.
YALE BASEBALL TEAM.
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 13.—Captain
Fred Ruskln of the Yale baseball nine has

ing season. He will also meet the candi-
dates of freshmen team and outline their

The After Effects of Uu Grip '»«m to Be
Wor e Than the piscne Itself.
There are more weak, tired am) run down
people to-day than have been seen before
in five years, and owing to one special
cause; that cause Is the prrtp. Grip Is not as
severe this year as in the paat, but it is
very prevalent and quite as annoying. It
leaves the person weak, subject to chills,
with occasional flashes of high fever, rest-
lessness, lack of appetite, bad tw»te In the
mouth and pains throug'ho I tho body. The
worst thing about grip is getting over it,
and even after It is broken, it is we ks,
sometimes months, and even years, before
the person fully recovers.
Here Is where the great danircr, the great
dread which attends the grip arises. . It
leaves the body weak, often broken and
open to all the attacks which may come in
after years. It often ruins the life.
Now, there is only one way to overcome
the after-effects of the grip, and that Is to
build up the system by a genuine stimulant
until It regains Its health and strength.
There Ls nothing which will do this so well
as pure whisky, and there is but one pure
medicinal whisky in America, and that is
Duffy's Pure Malt.
Thousands of statements oould be given
concerning people who have been brought
around to perfect health after suffering
from the grip In its worn! form, entirely
through its use. Care should be taken that
no other stimulant is used In Its place, for
there is no other that will answer the pur-
pose so well. Some druggists or grocers
often seek to substitute common wfekien,
but in a case of after-effects of the grip,
you can not be too careful, and should se-
cure only the best.
