"LABOR "VERSUS CAPITAL." (liners of Dubois, Pa., Will ^Hold Out its Long as Possible.

DUBOIS, Jan. 7.—The large general jtore of Bell, Lewis & Yates at this slace was burned to the first story yesterday, and the stock of merchandise I was totally ruined by water. The loss will reach $75,000. The establishment was known as "the company's store," nnd is generally thought to have been owned by Bell, Lewis & Yates, the coal operators, whose miners are out on a strike. It is the prevailing belief that the fire was incendiary in its I origin.

It was learned here yesterday that the miners, who are out on a strike, held a secret meeting at Reynoldsville yesterday afternoon. What was done at the meeting can not be learned further than that a call was issued for a general meeting of miners and citizens, to be held at the opera house in this city this morning at 10 o'clock, at which time the strikers will publicly define their grievances iftid ask for aid and sympathy from the public.

Fifteen hundred men are out, the apparent cause of the strike being the discharge of 400 men from the Bell, Lewis fc Yates mines last week. The miners of this region only resumed work in June after a protracted and fruitless struggle of several months duration, and it is believed that the present movement is but the beginning of a bitter fight between capital and labor in this district. The miners say they believe the company is trying to disrupt their union and that they will fight until starvation again compels them to submit.

RIVAL FOR THE BELL COMPANY.

Incorporated in Illinois With a Capital

Stock of $20,000,009.

CHICAGO, Jan. 7. The Cusliman United Telephone company of Chicago has been incorporated with a capital stock of $£0,000,000 to manufacture tele'phone appliances and to construct and operate telephone and telegraph exchanges. I. M. Cushmau, O. O. Leabhart and Joseph Barton are named as incorporators. None of the three is a resident of Chicago. When questioned as to the likelihood of the new company competing dangerously vith t^he Bell Telephone company, Manager Hibbert said he had heard nothi^ about the formation of a company, but was not alarmed at the appearance of one more competitor.

N. J. Hanford, general manager of the Harrison Telephone company, seemed to know something about the new company. He says: "The Cusliman patents were tested in the United States district court at Chicago two years ago with the result that a permanent injunction was entered against their use or manufacture. Mr. Cushman is now 81 year old. He claims to have been the original inventor of the telephone, but has not been successful in* his suits a'gainst the various companies."

TRIPLE TEXAS TRAGEDY.

Three Men Murdered, Presumably by the Same Party

FALLS CITY, Tex., .Jan. 7.—Three men were murdered within three miles of this village. E. H. Young, a white man and a prominent farmer Will Duran, colored, a farmhand, and A. C. Bundis, a Mexican laborer, were found dead on the roadside, within two miles of each other, with bullet holes in their heads. From the similarity of the wounds, and the situation in general, it is thought they all were murdered by the same party. The affair is very mysterious, and the developments of an investigation, which is being made by authorities, is anxiously awaited.

Double Murder For Money.

EDWARDS, Miss., Jan. 7.—One of the most atrocious crimes occurred here. Louis Galloway, colored, a good and prosperous farmer, living on Mr. R. C. Wither's plantation, one mile from this plac6, together with his wife, was found dead yesterday morning about 100 yards from their cabin. Indications are that both were beaten to death with clubs. Galloway was in town yesterday and carelessly exhibited about $ 100, which is supposed to have led to the murder. One arrest has been made and doubtless others will follow.

Fire at liamliii, W. Va.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va., Jan. 7.—Hamlin, a small town and the county seat of Lincoln county, situated 20 miles south of this city, was almost wiped out by fire. The fire originated in the Eagle flour mills and soon spread to the Hamlin handle factory, a large plant, and also to a large sawmill situated nearby. All these buildings, including several other small ones, were entirely de stroyed, and the loss will reach many thousands of dollars, with only a small insurance. The origin of the fire is not known.

Oiualia Needs a Lexow,

OMAHA, Jan. 7.—The Bee Sunday printed a page expose of the gamblers of South Omaha and how they secured immunity from police interference by the payment of large sums to officials, newspaper reporters and others. Bee reporters were engaged in securing tl evidence for several weeks and a number of people were involved who were not known to be interested in protecting Omaha gamblers. Last night the houses were closed.

Georgia Assassination.

SYLVANIA, Ga., Jan. 7.— George Bellinger, a well known colored man and Democratic speaker, was shot down in his yard and instantly killed, at his home near Black Creek in this county, by two cowardly white assassins. No arrests have been made. Bellinger was an active campaign worker for the Democrats a few years ago and also in the election just passed.

Great Honor to Mr. Beveridge

The Union League Club, of Chicago, has shown appreciation of Indiana in inviting Mr. Albert J. Beveridge to respond to the toast "George Washington" at the club's banquet, Feb. 22. Mr. Beveridge's theme will be something like this, perhaps "Washington—The light of his love for our general country illumes our problems of to-day." Associated with Mr. Beveridge in sharing the post prandial honors showered by Chicago's great political club will be Archbishop Ireland, President Ingalls, railroad magnate, and other eminent men. One thousand men generally sit down to these great banquets of the Union League Club, and in the past Chauncey M. Depew, John S. Wise, Senator Allison, Supreme Court Justices Harlan and Brewer and others have furnished eloquence. Never before has Indiana been represented.—Indianapolis Journal.

Grant Price An Editor.

We have received a copy of the Bituminous Record, published at Philipsburg Pa., and in glancing over the editorial page, we noticed the name of Grant Price, well known here, as its editor. The paper is a seven column folio, filled with choice write-ups and ads, and from present indications, the paper will prosper. Mr. Price had a position in the government printing office during President Harrison's administration, but a "just as good" Democrat printer came along who wanted a "sit" and as Grant is a thoroughbred Republican, of course the Demmy got his job. Grant is a practical printer .and we can recommend him to the citizens of Philipsburg, as a live, energetic young man and bespeak for him a prosperous career in his new position as editor.

ABSURD INSINUATION

Hawaiian Royalists Had Nothingto Do

With

It.

WHY OUR VESSELS LEFT HAWAII.

President Cleveland Makes a Statement in

Reply to the Hint Thrown Out in the

Senate That the Adherents of the Oueen

Hud Something to Do With the Departure

of the Fleet.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—The attention of President Cleveland having been called to a hint thrown out in the senate discussion on Friday that the visit of a certain "committee of royalists from the Hawaiian Islands" was connected in some way with the departure of American ships from that locality, the president said last night to an Associated Press reporter: "Of course such an insinuation is very absurd. Its propriety and motive behind it, I am sure, can safely be left to the judgment of fair and rightthinking Americans. I am entirely willing that all our people should know everything I know concerning the visit of the so-called 'committee of royalists.' "Last year in the latter part of July, or early in August, three gentlemen from Hawaii arrived here and asked through the secretary of state my

designation of a time when they could

have an interview with me and present

a message from the deposed Hawaiian queen. Though I Could Not With Propriety recognize them officially, I was not disposed to refuse them personally the courtesy of an audience. Therefore, a future day and hour were fixed for the interview. In the meantime, at my request, transmitted through the secretary of state, these gentlemen made known the precise purpose of their visit in the following note: "Aug. 11, 1804. "The Hon. W. Q. Gresham, Secretary ot

State: "SIR—We, the undersigned commissioners sent by her majesty, Queen Liliuokalani. request an audience of the president of the Uuited Statns. We desire to ask his excellency whether there is any hope for his doing anything for the restoration of the constitutional government of the Hawaiian Islands. "H. A. WLDEMANN, "SAMUKL PARKER, r! "J. A. CUMMIN'G.S. "After this note had been submitted to me, I prepared in writing with some care,

A Reply to the Question

it contained, to be read by me to the commissioners at our meeting. I intended to avoid all misunderstanding and misconception by absolutely confining myself to such written reply, of which the following is a copy: "GKNTLKMEN—You must permit me to remind you that this interview is not an official one, and that instead of receiving you in any representative capacity, I meet you as individuals who have traveled a long distance for the purpose of laying a certain matter before me. "You ask me if there is any hope of my 'doing anything for\*the restoration of the constitutional governimyit of the Hawaiian Island I suppose that this question is largely prompted by the fact that soon after the overturning of the late government of the queen I investigated that transaction and was satisfied that then had been such

An Unjustifiable Interference

of aid of that movement on the part of the representatives of the government of the United States in its diplomatic and naval service as to call for correction, not only to rectify what seemed to be a wrong done to others, but also through that rectification to ward off what appeared to be danger to American honor.and probity. "Fully appreciating the constitutional limitations of my executive power and by no means unmindful of the hindrances that might arise, I undertook the task. "Having failed in my plans I committed the entire subject to the congress of the United States, which had abundant power aud authority in the premises. The executive branch of the government was thereby

Discharged From Further Duty

and responsibility in the matter unless moved thereto by congressional command. The congress has, both by its action and its omission to act, signified that nothing need be done touching American interference with the overthrow of the government of the queen. "Quite lately a government has been established in Hawaii which is in full force and operation in all parts of the island. It is maintaining its authority and discharging all ordinary government functions. Upon general principles, and not losing sight of the special circumstances surrounding the case, the new government is clearly

Entitled to Our Recognition

without regard to any of the incidents which accompanied or preceded its inauguration. "This recognition, and the attitude of the congress concerning Hawaii affairs, of course, led to an absolute denial of the least present or future aid or encouragement on my part, to an effort to restore any government heretofore existing in the Hawaiian Islands. "GI:OVER CLEVELAND." "When the day appointed for the meeting arrived, I was confined to my bed by illness and unablo to keep my engagement. I, therefore, signed the paper I had cxpoetcd to read and it was delivered to the commissioners, who, I bolieve, returned at once to Hawaii. I never saw any member of this commission or connnitteo and have never had any communication or transaction with any of them directly or indirectly except as I have here stated."
