Minister Blount has concluded his report ou Hawaiian affairs, and it was stated he would probably forward it to Washington by the stefruner Australia.

Oue of the gratifyiug features of the 19th century is the wonderful progress of women in business knowl edge. The Colorado cities are employing many of the idle miners to work on their streets.

Congressman Turner has made a plain statement of the appointment of Mr. Bennett as receiver of the Oglethorpe National Bank. At the request of Con troller Eckels Mr. Turner was asked to name a-receiver for the bank. Without any conference he suggested Mr. Bennett, and was requested to ascertain if he, Mr. Bennett, would accept the place. Mr. Bennett replied favorably and afterwards came to Washington to look into the matter of duties and responsibilities. This interview occurred early on Mon day June 12. The appointment was then formally ordered. 31 r. Turner says that if. Mr. Meyers made any suggestion •as after the appointment of Bennett.

J., July 28.—Emory Will iamson, whose wife recently horse whipped Susan Johnson on the street be cause the young woman was talking to Williamson, has eloped with Susan. She was a servant in Mrs. Ransom’s board- ingliouse on Main street. Williamson and his wife lived on Commerce street. Mrs. Williamson heard that her hus band was in the habit of meeting the Johnson girl, and hunted her up and flogged her with a stout horsewhip. Williamson left town on Saturday last, and it has been discovered that Susan rent away at the same time. Mrs. Williamson says if her husband ever returns she will cowhide him. charged with the s of crimes committed in the u os revclting matter. The stepmother, it was proved was killed first. To have been killed by Lizzie without leaving any trace, the act must have been done by the young girl in a perfectly neud state. This was also true of her own father, who, it was proven, was killed while asleep on the sofa one hour after the murder of his wife. After a most remarkable and search ing trial Lizzie Borden was acquitted. The case was tried before learned jurists, intelligent jurymen and law yers of national reputation. The trial lasted many days, every detail of which is familiar to the public. The Sumatra Tobacco Cane Gripped. Philadelphia, July 28.—The custom authorities at this port have been di rected from Washington to return to J. Metz, of this city, ten bales of the Su matra tobacco consigned to him from Montreal and seized upon their arrival here. It is held that there was nothing to warrant the seizure and that the Ogdensburg rating of 35 cents did not constitute a fraud, the regulations sta ting that the rate of duty put on an en try by an importer is advisory only. As soon as the importer shall pay the prop er cost of entry—!- a pound—he can get his tobacco. How to Brins; Value* Hack. Baltimore, July 28.—B. N. Baker, president of the Atlantic Transporta tion line, has just returned from Eu rope. He says money is plentiful in England, but owing to the distrust which prevails in consequence of the operation of the Sherman silver law is difficult to get English capital inter ested in American securities. Mr. Ba ker believes the repeal of the Sherman law and the enactment of substantial financial legislation will bring values back to a steady basis. A Howard for llraTery.

She has been the recipient of many letters from crowds—both male and fe male-including several offers of mar riage. Her manner has been morose and melancholy to an unusual degree. This, however, was considered perfect ly natural. It is not known what statement she has made and anything like definite in formation is hard to get, but it is un derstood that she has admitted that she was the murderer of her father aud his wife. and around Pittsburg then,.and the monthly pay roll amounted to $250,000. The output of coal was at the rate of 275,000 carloads a year. Now the (>.000 miners are out on a strike, the shafts are idle, and starva tion stares the miners' families in the face, the business houses are threatened by ruin, and despair has displaced hap piness and contentment. Business in Pittsburg and the surrounding hamlets of Weir. Chicopee, Frontenae, Yale, bcamtuon. Lichfield and Midway are at a standstill. Many of the miners are j leaving. Thousands are desperate. The woful change was brought about by politicians who engineered the strike, it is said, for the tmrpose of advancing llieir interests. These politicians are , Populists. The two state senators and two rep- j resentatives from the coal fields are Populists. One of them, a member of the lower house and a man who has been indefatigable in his efforts to stir up strife against the operators, is M. L. Walters, who wants to be a congress man from this district through the grace of the miners, whose cause he is now championing even at the head of a mob. It did not take the Populist leg- e long to discover that t no mining laws of the state should be changed. A bill was passed by the effort of Mr. Walters, which was calculated to raise the wages of the miners, and which, when it goes into effect on Sept. 1. will f ilace a good, experienced miner on a evel with a novice. The law made Mr. Walters popular among the miners because it gives the diggers a substan tial increase all round. But. piled ou top of the increase granted them by the Populist law, the miners in this district demand what is equivalent to a still further increase of 12 cents a ton on summer and winter Honolulu, via Sax Francisco, July 28.—It has been learned positively that the provisional government’s policy and wua iu mu 8»vui- position regarding future treaty rela- filled with persons \ ** 011S L tdted Slates are as fo»- ,pend 63 days ago. i lows: ^ vork all lute* fee of all in the date of the ox- «n of the treaty with- of sovereignty iu iiau islands aud de nted’.-tates to become Teof. id transfers the abso- public Inriidin; nd all o^ 1 Hr id • orts, harbors, 1 naval rquip- ier public property, ides that the existing government of the Hawaiian islands ami the laws relating to its internal policy are to be continued for five years to be executed and carried out uuder the direc tion of a United .States commissioner ap pointed by the president and senate, said commissioner to reside in the Hawaiian islands, with power to veto within lOdays any act passed by the local government.

New York, July 28.—A dispatch from Auburn, sent out immediately after the attempt to electrocnte M. G. Taylor was made, says: The electrocution of M. G. Taylor,for the murder of Solomon Johnson, in Au burn prison, wa3 not a success. The footrest of the chair broke and the dy namos gave out. so that a second cur rent could not be applied. He was not dead from the first con tact, and soon began breathing heavily.

It is now thought power will have to be obtained from the city electric plant and Taylor will have to be replaced in the chair and electrocuted to death. The physicians say he was unconscious after the first contact of over 1.70n volts. His condition at present is anal- agous to that of a uian stricken with apoplexy.
