THREE MAIN POINTS OF DANGER
Attorney-General or Hawaii, ExprMM
View Similar to Thou of tno
Correspondent
San Francisco, May 17. Julias A.
Palmer, who went down to the Hawaiian
islands to investigate the state of affairs
there as special correspondent of the New
York Evening Poet three months ago,
arrived here on the Australia. He be
lieves 'that there will soon be a crisis
and that the end can only be the restora
tion of the monarchical form of govern
ment. He says there never ' will be
harmony until the monarchy is restored
and Pricess Kaiulani placed on the
throne. In giving his reasons for this
belief he said :
"There are three main points of dan
ger to the goverment. The first is that
Secretary Gresham has decided that
Bowler ia not an American citizen, and
Great Britain had decided that Rickard
and Walker are British subjects.
"The greatest fear of the Hawaiian
government is Japan, and they do not
scrapie to say so. They are making ar
rangements to get in 5,000 Chinese cool
ies and send away as many Japanese.
The government, when the Japanese
coolies came in, gave an understanding
that if Japan would supply them with
coolies they would employ them. Now
Japan will probably hold that this un
derstanding is being violated. . .
"The third danger to the government
party is in themselves. The democracy
or American League, is taking umbrage
at the new importation of Chinese.
"The financial condition is also one of
the things that will bring on a crisis
May 1 the government advertised public
ly that no bills must be ' paid except in
three and six months credit.
"The loyalty of the natives to monar
chy was never as strong as now, and it
' was the basis of the union of all parties
in past years and there will never be
harmony until that monarchy is restored
in Princess Kaiulani and that would
make peace at once." . .
Colonel Volney V. Ashford, attorney'
general of Hawaii, who arrived on the
same steamer, expresses similar views
"There is a perfect reign of terror in
the islands. Informers are everywhere,
People do not dare to speak in their own
houses. There is everywhere a feeling
of uncertainty, doubt and impending
danger and ruin. . . . , .
"Those who favored annexation have
made up their minds that it Is 'impos
sible. . The missionaries, as we call
most Oi the political party in power,
have claimed to be in favor ot annex
ation, but have never been really. . The
real annexationists mistrust them now
"As for the futurt? Well, annexation
is , an impossibility,' and all are about
agreed on that. . Thurston has gone
back and it is publicly said that he is
going to propose the restoration of a
monarchy,- with Kaiulani on the throne,
"A republic" 'seems an . impossibility.
auch a large part of the population . are
incapable of governing themselves. As
long as 'this so-called republic can pay
armed men to keep down rebellion, it
will last, and no longer. What they
are talking of now, and want first, is
some sort of protectorate of the United
States. " '
''They are afraid of Japan, and then
they want some protection against, any
other foreign interference. Then, of
course, what is next wanted is a. mon
archy. The natives are .not all dig
co a raged by the failure of the last move'
ment. They would gladly make an
other attempt. Iam not a royalist in
principle, bnt under all the conditions
existing there. I think it the only thine.
a monarchy would unite all the natives
and be respected by all powers.'
Dead Outlaw Avenged.
Gdthrik, O. T., May 16. Friends of
Newcomb and Pierce, the territory out
laws who were betrayed by supposed
friends and cowardly assassinated near
Ingalls two weeks ago, have avenged the
death of their comrades.;. . '
According to the story of a courier who
came in today from Ingalls, U.-T., John,
Calvin and William Dunn have been
kidnapped by a number of the dead out
laws' friends and lynched. At the time
of the killing, local detectives took upon
themselves the glory of the capture of the
outlaws and put in their chaina for the
rewards that had been offered for their
heads. , A week ago, however, the
Dunns, at whose bouse, near Ingalls, the
outlaws stopped on the night of the kill
ing, were charged with betraying them
under the guise ot friendship, and after
the two desperados were drunk, riddled
them with bullets as they slept. They
bad, it is said, been promised large sums
of money by the detectives who had
claimed the rewards. '
The friends of Newcomb and Pierce
openly -swore revenge. The Dunns bar
ricaded their place, aecnred a supply of
arms and ammunition and made their
ranch a veritable arsenal. They laid
low until Sunday, says the courier, when
some of them were seen about the place,
apparently void of fear, and believing
that the expected raid was a bluff. That
night the usual strict vigilance as kept
by the brothers was relaxed, in further
belief that they were free of molestation.
This act, it appears, proved fatal, and
the three brothers were easily taken by
their ; enemies. Late Sunday night a
body of heavily armed men drove np to
the Dunn cabin, and, forming a cordon
around it, called upon the brothers to
come out and surrender themselves, the
marauders . having previously fired a
volley into the air to awaken their in
tended victims.
When the Dunns, John, Calvin and
William, saw the numbec of those with
out, they readily realized the worthless-
ness of making a fight, and were quietly
taken. .The women folk tried to dis
euade the captors from carrying out their
purpose, but were rudely pushed aside,
The Dunns were placed upon horses,
and, being told not to make an ( outcry,.
were hastily driven off towards the
mountains. Since then nothing has
been beard of the band nor its captives,
and the general opinion is that the
Dunns have been lynched, as the feeling
against them was most bitter. - Search
ing parties are out looking for the bodies,
but as the desperados probably took the
victims to one of their mountain rendez
vous, the - prospect of tracing them is
very small.
Silver Convention.
Salt Lake, May 16. The silver con
vention met at 10 today "with 21 dele
gates present.' The committee on reso
lutions and plan of action not being
ready to report, Congressman Mondelia,
of Wyoming, moved that a recess be
taken until 2 p. m., but the motion was
withdrawn. ..... ,
Langenour moved that newspapers re
porters be admitted to the. executive see
sion, but the motion was lost.
The conference then went into execu
tive session and is discussing various
methods proposed for carrying out the
objects for which the conference was
called. A number of interesting speech
es were made, and while there are dif
ferences of opinion, indications all point
to harmonious. action.
Attorney-GeneralJones,of the state of
Washington, arrived this morning, and
was admitted aa a member of the confer
ence.
Akont the Income-Tax Law.
Washington, May 16. There is a
rumor in circulation today that the in
come-tax law will be declared unconsti
tutiional when the decision is rendered
next Monday, either by a vote of six to
three or seven to two. - Next Monday, it
will be recalled, there was a rumor cir
Highest ot amn leavcuing Power. i-ai.est U.S. Gov't .Report

culated that Justice Jackson , had de
cided on Saturday last to vote for its
constitutionality, and that hi vote,
witb four others in favor of it, would re
sult in a decision by a vo'e of five to
four in favor of the law. If the actions
of the treasury department officials and
those at the head of the. department of
justice today can be taken as an in
dication, the probabilities seem to be
that they have bad an inkling that the
law is to oe declared unconstitutional
on Monday. That they were worried ia
pparent. . . .- .
While no one is able to speak authorit-
tively, the general impression is that
the law will be declared unconstitutional
and stricken from the statute-books.' Of
course the whole question . hinges upon
the vote of Justice Jackson, and certain
parties close to this jurist assert positiv
ely that he will decide against the law.
They say he has always been a federalist,
and that when this legislation was first
ro posed in congress he openly expressed
hia disapproval of it.
'; Senator Allison Challenged. '
Des Moines, la.,' May 16. The Cen
tral Bimetallic Leage of Iowa, of which
. Matthias, of Des Moines, ia president,
and J. Watts secretary have forwarded
letter to Senator Allison challenging
him to come to Des Moines and debate
with some advocate of free coinage of
silver, to be designated by the league.
The challenge is qualified by the state
ment that if Senator Allison believes in
such coinage, then a debate is unneces
sary. ' s : , '
General Weaver left last night for the
West, where he will deliver 10 speeches
for free silver. He will bring back with
him General A. J. Warner, of Ohio, and
Joseph C. Sibley to attend the big silver
meeting here J une 5.

of inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr. J. A. Stumm, 220 Boyle
Heights, Los ifcngelea, over bis fortunate
escape from a siege of that distressing
ailment. Mr. Stumm is foreman of
Merrian'a confectionery establishment.
Some months ago, on leaving the heated
work room to run across the street on an
errand, be was caught out in the rain.
The result was that when ready to go
home that night he was unable to walk,
owing to inflammatory rheumatism.' He
was taken home, and on arrival - was
placed in. front of a good fire and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. During tbe evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was relieved

especial pleasure in praising Chamber

bottle of it in the house. For sale by
