ndi Driven' to the Interior"
and Many Killed. .
; Sak , Fbakcisco, May 17. John " Car
ierj an x '.seaman of H. M. S. Royalist,
. arrived here on the Australian from
Honolulu. . Carter came to HawaU,rn,m
Sydney, where the Royalist is now sta
tioned; ' ' ' - . - , '
' England,- according to the Feaman,
, took very draBtic measure's ia the pan
ishment -of, tbe natives of the Solomon
group of islands, and the villages at the
. mouth of the river Soy were cannon-
- aded. A landing party started out for
- Verne, an adjacent town, and the sav;
. ages were driven miles into the interior.
A number were slaughtered. ' For. fonr;
hours Soy was under' fire. - The trouble
and the snbr-tquent bombardment were
brought about by tha murder of Donald
Guy last April andHhe later murder- of
eight inebriated English tars who went
- . ashore at the island Malay ta to enjoy a
good time. ; ., ..' ,
The month after Guy was murdered
the boat's crew of the brig Para was
- also fired upon by the natives. Two
men were wounded. The Royalist pro
ceeded to New Georgia and there learned
that Guy had been surprised by natives
and shot down. The sloop .proceeded,
up the Soy river, and ' there found. the
', passage blocked, The natives had taken
to the bushes. The Royalist cleared for
action,' and . in , ten .minutes, literally
'' blew the village of Soy off the earth,
r ..." The land forces pursued the natives into
I v ; the interior for several miles, but could
) .'. not force them into open' battle. -
The Royalist' then steamed to Malayta
island and anchored off the town of
Altai. The ship's guns were turned on
the . village' and a quick fire opened.
Two cutters armed .with 7-pound rapid
fire guns steamed close to the beach and
poured shot into a little bunch of natives
that were defending the chief's palace.
A number were killed and 'wounded.
One after another three villages were to
tally destroyed, the natives driven to
the bush and the residence of one of the
principal chiefs of the -Solomon -group
" blown to pieces with six-inch shells.
The Royalist then steamed around
':' the island looking for fresh villages to
try its gun crew's .proficiency, upon, and
finally steamed to Wanawana. Elabo-
- rate . preparations were made for a sea
and land attack, the natives having as
sembled; in great numbers. . .. A steam
launch armed with a Gatling gun and
two cutters with 7-pound rapid-firing
: rifles were detailed to land a detachment
; of marines and -sailors. ' Suddenly the'
Royalist received '.'orders through a
'. British steamer captain to cease opera-
- tions and return to New Zealand. The
slaughter of the defenseless was thus
averted.- ' ' . . .

- Nw York, May 17. --George F. Peck,.
- the recent democratic governor of Wis
consin, is at the Holland house. Speak
ing of the condition of his state, he said;
"You see a good deal printed in the
'.' papers in the East about Wisconsin' be
ting torn wide open on the silver ques
tion. Those reports were perhaps true

burst and the farmers and merchants are
thinking' for themselves, and , this
thought has not done much for silver.
When the craze first started I saw a lot
of men who expected to make political
capital out of the movement. Now
political ambition ia.all right, perhaps,
Highest ol au in Licavuuig
but the men who have flocked to the
silver standard ; I do not think did it on
account of convictions, but through the
idea of gaining political chances.. One
month afO had an election taken place
with a silver ticket in the field, I believe
it would have swept the country. To
day the silverites have only a scant fol-.
lowing. ' -' Suppose - a man -had been
elected on a silver ticket, lie would hate
himself all through his term of office, for
he would know very well that he could
'not deliver the goods.'." Prosperity is re
turning, and with it a better understand
ing ottbe -financial question of the day.
I say confidently that Wisconsin is se
curely within the ranks for sound cur
rency, and nothing can shake her alle
giance," ; "'
Specie Payment to Begin Next Month-.
'. Both Metals Used. . , -
WA8HiNexos, .May 17. The." text of
Chili's ' currency conversion .. bill, as
passed-by . both houses -of congress, 1)88
been received here. .' It ' provides for
specie payments from .June I, .1895. As
both metals are to be utilized, the change
promises to have an . itdportant effect
upon the world's eupply'of metals? The
president of Chili is empowered for three,
years to coin $10,000,000 in silver; All
proceeds from the sales from nitrate beds
shall be devoted exclmively to the pur
chase of silver, . Three gold coins, $20,
$10 and $6, are' also provided for. The
silver dollar is to weigh 20 grammes and
be 835-1000 fine. Silver is not a legal
tender above $50, except to the govern
ment, where it is received as gold. The
government mint is also directed to ex
change, gold for silver dollars presented
to it with that object. ' The act also pro
uides 'a system of bank currency guar
anteed by the government and redeema
ble by the 'government if the bank fails.
Ha Announces That Hts Op'aions' on
Sliver Are Unchanged.
," Tskbk Haute, led., May X7 Senator
Voorhees has arrived home for the first
time since the adjournment of congtess.
He said : , , , . ' -.
am too old to change my views on
the silver question. I have always been
a friend to. silver, and it -will always re
main the money of the common people,
while gold will be the money of the rich.
I hope 1 will be alive to make another
campaign on that subject. When we
talk about Tree silver : we mast recollect
thi country -was ' for 8J years prior to
1893 practically on a silver basis. This
country fought the war of 1812, the Mex
ican war and the war of rebellion under
silver,: Opposition to it is Knavish and
speculative. By pronouncing against
silver and driving it out as a currency,
the purchasing - power of. gold is in
creased, and that is what the rich are
after.';. : .. . " ' '. :
evidences That a Cleanlng-Up Process
Has Hrgun. .
Niw York, May 17. The Wall Street
News Agency says: Evidences point to
a cleaning-up process having been begun
by the bond syndicate. The recent re
turn to members of 40 per cent of their
subscription money was the first step in
this direction. It is uncertain when the
balance . will be returned., but eome
think it will be in a short' time, The
calling from the syndicate 'members of
of extra gold is another step in the same
direction. - There is authority for the
statement that the progress of events
in tne aesirea airection pas .. Deen a
good deal faster than the syndicate ex
pected or even hoped would-be the case,
The development of foreign investment
on a large scale, so noticeable last month,
has practically -assured the country
against any large demand for gold for
many - months; to come.- Most ot the
syndicate's .. preparations . were jmade
against this danger. '

is the result of a bet made by the amia
ble young millionaire with some of his
friends that he and his wife and sisters
can make the trip via Suez canal in the
time mentioned. The reasons for the
90-dav trip are said to be two ; One that
as executor of the Bradbury estate, one
of the. richest in the West, Colonel Brad -
bary cannot te out of the state over 90
days without forfeiting his position, and
the second . is that he has-made bets
amounting to upwards of $15,000 with
members of the California Club in Los
Angeles that he will succeed. -
Any one who has ever bad an ' atack
of inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr. J; A. Siutnm, "220 Boyle
Heights, Lou Angeles, over his fortunate
escape from a niege. 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, he 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 Chain terlain's
Pain Halm. During, the evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was relieved
of all rheumatic pains. He now takes
especial pleasure in praising Chamber
Iain's Pain Balm, and always keeps a
bottle of.it in the house. For sale by
