Fttnds in Virginia. Associated Pres- Wttshlngton, May 7. A letter dated April 5, received by O. C. Marene, from R. Wilcox, of Honolulu, says: "A' bloody revolution will ensue on the islands in the event the senate does not support President Cleveland's policy for the res toration of the statue quo at the time of the queen's deposition. H. M. Damon, minister of finance of the provisional government, has given his assurance that the provisional government would surrender the control of the kingdom to the queen as soon as it is learned that the senate approves of President Cleve. land's policy. The Chinese and Japan ese have organized aa a body to secure the restoration of the queen in caue the United States senate fails to do Jus. tice." THETR INNING. Washington, May 7. The defense Jiad an Inning in the trial of Coxey, Brown and Jones for the Mayday demonstra tion. There waa no denial or defense for what the common wealers had done. The. defense consists in the lawfulness of their actions. The trial will be concluded tomorrow. Coxey's explanation of his plans for re deeming the government was the prin clpal feature of the day's proceedings, apart from the speeches by the law yers. It is apparent the case is being tested on the broad ground of justifica tion for the Coxey movement, for the assistant! district attorney, in his open' ing address, called Brown a crank, and did not hesitate to insinuate that Coxey was a knave, while the opposlnsr law yers endeavored to make the trial ap pear a persecution by the plutocrats of the people, and appealed to the ani mosity against Wall street.

A man with another style of a slot machine. arrived in town yesterday and started in business in one of our clgnr stores, and the attention of the chief of police is called to it as the most seduc tive kindergarten for turning; out gam blers that ever struck the town. This gambling device, which pays the player five to one, Is a comparatively new one to Astorlans, and if allowed to remain will take such a hold, especially on our young men and boys, that there is necessity for timely interference on tho part of the proper authorities. This slot machine Is a veritable snap for the owner. The machine takes care of Itself. It receives the money during the day, and occasionally when a nickel rolls .Ln. , K . .. 1 . . 1 .. . I . , 1 . . (uuug ui7 iiMftri vimuiici, o-u luiiltlliiuiiy pays out a quarter, which only serves ta tempt the unwary player further. At night the owner of .the machine takes his key, unlocks a little back door and hauls out the day's receipts, amount ing to anywhere from $1 to $30. A person has about one chance In 25 of winning, but, as the "gold brick" men say, a "new sucker" is born every minute," and tho business of this ma chine will Increase rather than dlmln. Ish. It will catch them nil, from the aged and respected citizen down to the bum, who is tempted to drop his Inst nickel In the silent robber, with the hope of winning a quarter to get his five beers. In such cases the slot ma chine might be called a public benefac tor. But we are not writing for he In corrigible tramp, nor for the aged and respected citizen. They ought to know better. It Is the young man and the boy we are writing for and want to sire. and it Is this feeling that makes us call upon the chief of police to use his ef forts In snatching this kindergarten of orlme, this silent thief, - that tempts boys to lose their nickels, and then hus tle around for more to lose, and these nickels they will get In one way or an on ter, Does the reader, after the above warning, realize what the 25-cent ma chine for a nickel will do for our boys? Does Chief Loughery begin to see it 7 We hope so. We hope he will take such action as will stop It, before It Is 24 hours old, and win for himself the thanks of parents and rid the city of this fresh evil that has come among us.
