Mr. Stevens said, among other things: •‘When Cleveland’s emissary reached the islands last March, there was no part of the United States more peaceful, for the monarchy was dead and official cor ruption had been put an end to. This same emissary bore letters of credence to representative Americans, whom he sub sequently stabbed in the back. On the secret testimony of enemies, the respect able members of the provisional govern ment were condemned as criminals and insulted with the promise that when the grossly immoral Queen Liliuokalani was restored to the throne she would pardon them. “Pardon such men as Chief-Justice Jubb and Attorney-General Hatch, a son of New Hampshire, and the super ior, legally, and in every other respect, of Secretary Gresham —pardon such rep resentative men, whose private and offi cial characters at no period In their past lives ever had a blot upon them! With sorrow and shame we look upon this sad picture, to which we have been brought by the present administration. In the name, then, of our common ancestry, in the name of freedom-loving races, in lie half of all who love justice and fair play, in behalf of Christian civilization in the United States, let us do our duty in endeavoring to put a stop to this ex traordinary usurpation of power and stamp out this outrage inflicted upon our patriotic, devoted and imperilled fellow-countrymen of the South Pa cific.” After O’Brien’s Bondsmen.

Fight in Northen has douche over the prop osition to have the fight between Corbett and Mitchell take place here. The governor said that if there was the slightest trace or shadow of a law applying to prize fighting he would en force it. He says he will not allow the matter to go even as far as the governor of Florida has done, but if there is much more talk heard he will cause the arrests of those taking part in the affair. Persons who thought they could bring off the fight have been confident for sev eral days because the legislature refused to pass a bill introduced forbidding prize-fighting. It was thought this meant that those who are opposed to the affair taking place in the state were un able to stop it. According to Governor Northen and a number of lawyers the reason the legis lature refused to take any action was that the law on the statute books was considered sufficient. Some of those who were interested in bringing the tight ad mit their mistake. Heavy .Storms lu England.

If Mitchell signs, so the i club says, jthe contest will be sure to 1 come off, and not in secret either, it t could not afford such a program. 5 If Mitchell does not sign the club t "TI 1 announce the affair to the world.

They came strictlv on business, accom , plished it and departed. They met with - no interference to speak of, and it is 1 lucky that they did not. for they were • strong enough to overcome any ordinary 1 town force. 1 The visit grew out of a raid which ' deputy marshals made on the moon- 1 shiners, 16 miles from here. The depn -1 ties left here Sunday night, took a long 3 ride in a hack over the rough mountain 3 roads and reached the neighborhood o. r the stills, up among the picturesque mountains. At the spot to which they went were two stills, one with a capaci ty of 100 gallons and the other a 50 gal l' lon still. !’ The officers hid among the brush until e the workmen came in. Then they closed o in on the workers and bagged three— Sam Harwell, John Bean and another s man, named Knox. e , The officers destroyed 4.000 gallons of t . beer and employed a wagon to haul th - stills to Calhoun, which was done with out molestation. A receipt was taken from the depot agent. The stills were placed in a car and the car sealed. Soon the officers noticed strange men on the e street corners and talking in subdued tones. deputies feared that an at p tempt was going to be made to take the n prisoners from them. They deputized li some citizens and got their men on the > first train for Dalton, where they were r convicted before Judge Hamilton and released on bond, a bondsman having gone with them.

In addition to the plea of the grand jury, addressed to the congress of the United States, through the congressman from this state, Colonel L. F. Living ston, special petitions will be sent ly Judge Newman, District Attorney James, the clerks of the federal court, the postmaster, the commissioner of the internal revenue and the United States marshal.

He was one of many poor fellows who were sent out along Wells street to scrape the mud and filth into heaps to be carted away. Mr. Stead admits it was not pleasant work. Besides, the wind was chilly and his clothes were thin. But he worked out his time to earn his meal ticket and lie says he rather enjoyed it. for the ex ertion sent the blood bounding diroutflx his veins and put him into a tion. He got along first rate with 1 laborers, except in one I'ai worked too bard to suit them. the number, as a sort of the rest, finally editor and said to 1111 proiK'hftii wouldn’t d-. last :!

The Canal Is Eighteen Miles Long—Manchester Open to the World. Manchester, Jan. 3.—The Manches ter ship canal which has just been open ed to general traffic, entitles Manchester to recognition as a port of entry, and all the benefits that accrue to such a port. Manchester is at the center of the great cotton manufacturing district of England. It has with Salford, which adjoins, a population of about 800,000. There is hardly a community in any part of the world with which it does not have < orqjnercial relations. The scheme for tidal navigation was, although it had been discussed for 60 years preceding, elaborated in 1882 by Mr. Hamilton Fulton. Tho canal is about 18 miles long and cost $75,000,000. It is a vast engineering feat. i The Manchester canal will probably | prove as valuable to Manchester as the i North Sea canal has been to Amsterdam ■or the Cronetadt canal is to St. Peters- I burg. It is a curious fact that Peter the Great’s original plan when he founded St. Petersburg was to make the new capital a port for seagoing vessels by means of a ship canal. Tho new Man chester canal compares favorably with other ship canals, except as regards length. Poison for the Czar.
