Something Startling Brought
to Light.
GRAVE CHARGES BROUGHT
Against Stevens—Accused of
Entering a Conspiracy to
Overthrowthe Queen.
New York, Nov. 20.—The Times'
Washington special says: Special Com
mistioner and Minister Blount has made
several reports to the state department
on the Hawaiian affair. These have
been printed for the state department in
different volumes, one making up what
is known as the final report, covering all
of his investigations.
The report, however, is even more in
teresting than the final report, and that
is containing his current dispatches, in
forming the state department of the con
dition of things in Hawaii as he learned
it by his inquiries.
This volume of “current” reports
show beyond the shadow oi a doubt that
the revolution in Hawaii in January last
was accomplished only by the most
shameful intervention on the part of
Minister Stevens, then our diplomatic
' representative at Honolulu.
It shows from the testimony of the
members of the provisional government
who took part in the overthrow of the
queen that this revolution was accom
plished as a result of a conspiracy which
they had formed, with the assistance of
Minister Stevens, and in which he, as
the representative of the United States,
bore a most conspicuous part.
It shows that but for Minister Stevens’
abuse of his power, the revolution could
not have been accomplished, and that
his position and the presence of the ma
rines and machine guns from the Boston,
overawed the queen and her supporters
and that nothing else but the interven
tion of the United States in this matter
would have induced the queen to yield,
which she d’d, with the express under
standing, accepted by President Dole, cf
the provisional government; that the
■case was to be reviewed at Washington
and justice done her by the president oi
the United States.
Commissioner Blount’s report will
show further that Stevens landed troops
from the Boston long before there was
any valid excuse for their presence on
Hawaiian 'soil; that he declined to re
move them when required to do so bv
the government, and when informed that
the authorities were willing and fully
able to preserve order and protect Amer
ican interests; that these troops were
stationed across the strest from the gov
erament building, in which Minister
Stevens knew the revolutionists were
about to read their. proclamation, and
that the revolutionist committee relied
upon American troops to protect them
in this act of rebellion; that Minister
Stevens recognized the provisional gov
ernmex. according to a preconceived
programme, before that government had
obtained possession of departments and
military power at Honolulu, and that
the military power was surrendered as
the queen surrendered—only through
fear of the superior force of the United
States.
Peck Providing For the Poor.
Milwaukee, Nov. 20.—Governor Peck
has taken official notice of the situation
among the starving miners at Hurley

ing to relieve the distress. The governor
insists that Wisconsin is amply able to
provide for its poor, and says no one
shall go hungry in the state. ' There are
800 people who need immediate assist
ance and it is probable before winter is
over there will be as many more.
Jug Tavern Went “Wet.”
Jug Tavern, Ga., Nov. 20.—There
was an election held in our town Satur

of the people as to whether the town
should be incorporated wet or dry under
the new charter. The election was only
ordered thren days beforehand, and was
not ordered by the council, as adver
tised, therefore many citizens would not
•vote either way. The result was two to
one for wet.

AGAIN ST TH eT F!IG HT.
Florida’s Governor Will Not Lot Corbett
and Mitchell Meet in Florida.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 20.—Gov
ernor Mitchell has returned to Tallahas
see from an eight days’ outing on the
gulf coast Regarding the Mitchell-
Corbett fight, he says:
“I had hoped and believed that my in
structions to the sheriff of Duval county
to prevent the fight in Jacksonville
would be sufficient warning to cause the
parties promoting the fight to desist, but
if my information is correct it seems that
I was mistaken. It appears that the
narties interested in the fiirjit are in-
THE ROME TRIBUNE
ciineu to aely tne state authorities to tne
end that Florida shall be disgraced by a
prize fight; but this shall not be done un
til every power of the state is exhausted
in efforts to prevent it, and any officer
whose duty it is to prevent this disgrace
to our civilization and to the state, and
who fails to do his whole duty in the
premises, will be most summarily dealt
with.
“I don’t think the fight will take place
in Florida. I shall issue a proclamation
directing every sheriff to do his utmost
to prevent the fight coming off in this
state and appealing to the people in the
several counties to co-operate with the
sheriffs in saving them and their state
from such a disgrace.”
When asked how he could hope to
prevent the fight when there is no law
forbidding “glove contests” of this sort,
he replied that he would syieak of the
legal aspects of the case later on, but
that now the sheriffs had only their duty
to perform—to obey his orders. The best
lawyers in Florida say that it would ba
impossible to convict or indict Corbett
and Mitchell under the existing statutes.
ASSAULTED THE EDITOR.
A Policeman Used His Pistol as a Club
with Serious Effect.
Hot Springs, Nev. 20.—W. E. Shan
nahan, the editor of The Daily Graphic
published here, was assaulted and bru
tally beaten by H. L. Kirkpatrick, the
local sergeant of police. Friday after
noon, Editor Shannahan sent boys out
with circulars announcing that his pa
per that evening would contain some
facts in regard to a shooting affray which
occurred some time since. Kirkpatrick
attempted to stop the boys from dis
tributing their circulars on the streets.
Shannahan then published the following
editorial in The Graphic Saturday , which
led to the assault being made upon-the
meeting of the two men:
“There was an effort made yesterday
by a Hot Springs policeman, 'who has
been indicted for highway robbery, to
stop our boys from delivering circulars
on the street. We wonder where he got
his orders.”
Kirkpatrick is a much larger and
more powerful man than Shannahan,
and in making his assault he used his
revolver, smashing his unarmed oppo
nent in the face repeatedly, breaking
his nose and severely injuring him other
wise. Great indignation prevails over
the affair among the citizens, and more
trouble between the factions formed is
looked for.

Satur<lay_Niglit.

SUSTAINED THE CLAIM.
The Columbia lias Won the Title of Mis
tress of the Seas.
Boston, Nov. 20—Down a lane of
working vessels off the Massachusetts
coast the cruiser Columbia dashed late
Saturday afternoon, winning for herself
the proud title of mistress of the seas,
and for thex4ent American firm that
built her a snug little fortune. Twenty
five and three-tenths knots an hour are
the figures should go down to history,
for the great white racer actually main
tained this speed for eight nautical miles,
less a small fraction, though her average
over the entire course of 97.94 miles was
only 22.81 knots.
Even the latter, which will undoubt
edly be the official figures of the board
when the tidal corrections are made,* is
faster than any other seagoing vessel,
either merchant or naval, has been
propelled through the water.

genial, kind-hearted pastor was stricken
I
•frallß
REV. CHARLES F. DEEMS, D. D., LL.D,
down with paralysis. From the first
none of his friends believed that he
would survive more than a few weeks;
but his indomitable pluck and his re
markable vitality enabled him to carry
the battle on until this time. His rela
tives and his friends, of whom he had
many, are grief-stricken.
When he passed away the members of
the family at his bedside were the Rev.
Edward M. Deems, of Hornellsville. N.
Y.; Dr. F. M. Deems and his sons, Mr.
and Mrs. M. J. Verdery and their
daughter, Mrs. J. T. Egbert, of St. Paul,
Minn. The '.octor’s daughter, who is on
her way here, had not arrived. Dr.
Egbert Le Fevre, the family physician,
and the nurse, G. A. Moore, were in-the
room.
The remains will be interred in the
family plot at New Dorp, S. I.
The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Deepiß was
born in Baltimore on Dec. 4, 1820. His
father was a local preacher in the Meth
odist Episcopal church. He was gradu
ated at Dickinson college, in Pennsylva
nia, in 1839. During his senior year he
was licensed to preach in the Methodist
church. After graduating, he snent a

1865, after a trip to Europe, he came to
this city and established a religious and
literary weekly called The Watchman.
It suspended in a short time, and in
July, 1866, he commenced preaching in
the chapel of the university. This con
gregation subsequently became known
as “The the Strangers,” of
which he was at the time of his death
the pastor. He styled his church “un
sectarian evangelican. ” Commodore
Vanderbilt, by a gift of $50,000, helped
him to establish it.
Dr. Deems was the author of various
books, and has published numerous ser
mons. Some of his works are “The
Home Altar.” "What Now?” “Annals
of Southern Methodism, ” “Life of Jesus, ’ ’
“Gospel of Common Sense,” and “Sep
tugint.”
Dr. Deems was under the medium
height, sparely built. He was of a ner
vous, impulsive temperament, and was
rapid m coming to conclusions. His di
portment was characterized by a high
toned courtesy and general warmth.

THAT PROCLAMATION
Roport That Pedro Was Made
Emperor Believed.
THE BRAZILIAN MINISTER
Says the Countess d’Eu Must
Abdicate Before Pedro’s
Right of Accession.
Rondon, Nov. 20.—Neither the for
eign office nor the American embassy
here has received any news from Brazil
regarding the proclamation of Prince
Pedro as emperor of Brazil.
The report, however, is much com
mented upon, and confirmation or denial
of the report is anxiously expected. The
news, however, is generally accepted as
being correct, as it comes here from
other sources in addition to the dispatch
from Madrid.
The Exchange Telegraph company
says that after Admiral Mello had pro
claimed Prince Pedro as emperor he put
to sea with several of his ships in order
to intercept President Peixoto’s new
transports, which are conveying V ap
plies of men, ammunition and pro\
ions to the existing government at R/,.
de Janeiro.
It is not believed, however, that the
insurgent admiral is certain of intercept
ing the transports, as the point of de
barkation of the munitions' of war is be
lieved to have been kept a secret.
A dispatch from Lisbon says that the
news of the proclamation of the Prince
Pedro as emperor of Brazil is not yet
confirmed; but. it is added, the report is
generally believed at Lisbon in view of
Admiral Mello’s known strong monarch
ist tendencies.
A letter just received here by a prom
inent London merchant says: “If Mello
is beaten, it will be a heavy blow to
British prestige. Peixoto is mad with
rage against foreigners, and especially
against the British. Mello is inclined
precisely the other way, and constant
friendly cG'inmunieations are going on
between the Fte.’ifh, Italian and British
warships and Admifaf'Mello, while the
Gent an and the America?! commanders
hold aloof.” <
The Brazilian minister here says that,
the Countess d’Eu would have
presi under the old law of sncjM f
she iia.l never abdicated and
rural Mello’s proclamation
she has done so. The Brazilian ministSi
has received no news whatever
ing the reported proclamation; of Prince
Pedro as emperor of Brazil, bjut, on the
other hand, the minister referred to says
that he has advices to the .effect that
Admiral Mello was to sail north on
board the Aquidabau. Rumors, he
added, of an attempt to res,tore the mon
archy have long been cun ent at Rio de
Janeiro, and he reports that the Brazilian
capital is quiet and that the usual busi
ness is being transacted.

SUNDAY’S FIRE.
Mr, Park Bowie’s and Captain
Pentecost’s
FINE RESIDENCES BURNED.
Other Houses Damaged-The
The Firemen Did Some
Good Work.
The residences of Mr. J. Park Bowie
and Capt. M. E. Pentecost were destroyed
by fire Sunday afternoon.
The total loss was in the neighborhood
of $6,000.
Mr. Bowie was insured for about
$2,500.
Captain Pentecost’s insurance amount
ed to $2,u00.
The house of Mr. J. A. Gammon, Mrs.
J. H. Prcssly and Mr. J. E. Cothran
caught, but by good saved.
Most of the damage to them came from
carrying out the furniture and breaking
much of it.
Al) these residences are close together
on the east end of Third avenue. A
few minutes past 1 o’clock the kitchen
roof of Mr. Bowie’s residence was found
to be on fire, and an alarm was quickly
turned in. The city bell did not strike,
but the iilarm was given at the fire halls.
The house was of frame, and the recent
dry weather caused it to burn with great
rapidity. The department made a rat
tling good run over the bills, but found
the house all ablaze, and a strong wind
blowing towards Captain Pentecost’s res
dence, only a few feet distant. The
blaze was intensely hot, so hot that
leaves across the street caught fire. The
row of houses is closely built, and it
looked as if half a dozen would be lost.
Captain Penticoat’s home was soon a
mass of flames. Mrs. Pressley’s, thirty
feet away, was burning, and the roof of
Mr. Gammon’s showed several liti •
flames.
Then it was the firemen did .their best
work. The water main is only four
inches on this street, and did not carry a
sufficient amount for more than two
streams. With three each could throw
amount of water a
plug on

out, and that too was damaged.
the ordets of Chief Hanks and the re
quest of Mr. Gnmmon, much of his
furniture was damaged in the same way.
Tho citizens are to be thanked for their
energetic aid, bit should remember that
such work can only be done systemati
cally, and that the chief must be looked
to for all orders.
The flreattreated many spectators, and
2,000 men, women and children watched
the flames. Many of the men ruined .
their Sunday suits in aiding in the work. J
The fire was heroically fought, only more 9
system and discipline being needed.
The poor streams of waler a portion of
the time were not due to a lack ’-of
sure but to the small main.
