Terms of peace in the steel strike were discussed at length to-day at a secret conference in which sat officials of the United States Steel Corporation, leaders of union labor and representatives of the civic organizations which have intervened. Unusual safeguards of secrecy were resorted to in order to preserve the privacy of the proceedings, but it was evident that no conclusion was reached and that the decision either to terminate or continue the strike must be made by the strikers. The nature of the agency from the Amalgamated Association held by the labor leadsrs who participated iu the discussion is not known, but it is believed they presented an outline of terms from President Shaffer, and they will place before him and his associates the terms resubmitted by President Schwab, cf the United States Steel Corporation. It was also apparent at the conclusion of the discussion that if the conference is to be resumed or any further action toward peace taken the strikers must take the initiative. The labor leaders were In communication with Pittsburg during the day and it was anticipated that they would further discuss the subject with the Amalgamated men before they proceeded with the peace plan any further. The participants in the conference to-day were President C. M. Schwab, of the United States Steel Corporation; President W. E. Cory, of the Carnegie Steel Company; Veryl Preston, of the United States Steel Corporation; President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor; President John Mitchell, of tlje United Mine Workers Association; Secretary Harry White, of the Garment Makers' Association; Professor Jenks, of the Industrial Commission, and Ralph M. Easley, secretary of the National Civic Federation. Several officials of the companies controlled by the United States Steel Corporation were called to the conference chimber during the day. The conference was asked for in behalf of President Gcmpers and President Mitchell, and the request reached President Schwab early to-day. He made favorable reply at once, and at 12:1 o'clock the two labor leaders, accompanied by the other Intermediaries who had participated in the Pittsburg meetings of last week, reached the office of the United States Steel Corporation. The session lasted continuously for more than six hours. No statement as to the proceedings was made by any of the participants. John Mitchell was the first to leave the meeting room. He positively refused to make any statement in connection with the peace plan. President Gompers and Ralph M. Easley, who followed, were equally reticent, and said that it had been agreed that nothing was to be said. President Schwab came out later, in company with President Corey, Secretary Wren and Veryl Preston, and all successively refused to talk. President Gompers said later that he would be in New York to-morrow and that statement was taken as an indication that he has not given up his effort to effect a settlement. One of the steel officials made this brief statement: "Nothing was accomplished by the conference. The strike is in Just the pame position as it was before the conference was held. Future action is for the strikers. I do not know of anything that Is to be done. The Steel Corporation has restated its position and the men themselves rau-t elect wh:it they will do." Sanuifl Gompers. when asked to-night In rtgard to the conference, said: "We met Mr. Schwab and other representatives of the Steel Corporation in conference this afternoon. We discussed the steel strike. As to whether any proposition was submitted to President Schwab and as ta what di.-cusio:i took rlac-e or whether any decision was reached or not art. matters regarding which we think that it would he of interest at this Juncture both to the strikers, the United States Steel Corporation rnd to the public in general to keep tilent." When Mr. Gompers was asked whether there would be a ii-. w conference or not. he rerdi l that he did not know. Ther latest edition of the Evening Telegram si: "Chnr'.es M.

with present conditions and claim that ultimate victory will be theirs. Much was hoped : r from the peace conference in Ne-.v York, but the announcement of the failure to nach a decision put a damper e.i: thes? hopes. Still, many hold to the belief that the matter now being up to the strike Iadrs to accept or reject, whatever may nuw been the proposition made to-day a f-ttlrrni will sjeellly le reached. I 'resident Shnffer's only remark whui shown the announcement of the adjournment without a decision was. ''I have no comment to make." He would say no more on the subject. He said further tht to-n;j;ht he would positively not be seen by any newspaper men and would make no statement. He said he would be in his office as usual in the morning, when he rr.ifcht have something to say. The following from Wheeling was handed to a representative, of the Associated Press to-day without comment bv President Shaffer, of the Amalgamate.! Association:

"We, the members of Crescent Lodge of the A. A. of. I., S. and T. W. assembled, denounce the statements made by J. D. Hickey when he says that this, strike was instigated by President Shaffer and is no; constitutional as absolutely false arid is not worthy of any consideration by the members of the Amalgamated Association, and we deny the assertion that 11 per cent, of the mills of the United States Steel Corporation are at work." This was signed by Steve Dawson, president, and XV. G. Evans, secretary. The foregoing, together with the telegram received by Mr. Shaffer to-day from President Gompers. of the American Federation, denying that there was a meeting in HurTalo to consider the charges made by Mr. Hickey, would indicate that the charges have fallen flat. The steel officials are in a very confident mood to-night and appear to think the strike Is broken effectually and that only a few days more will be required to make It a thing of the past. The return of the 4"0 tube workers at McKeesport and the report that 150 or more went in at the Pennsylvania tube works under the protection of Sheriff McKinley and his seventy-five deputies at Demmler, where a start will be made to-morrow morning, give much weight to this belief. In addition to these breaks the steel officials claim increased numbers at the Star, the Lindsay & McCutcheon. the Painter and the Clark mills and say other plants will now be put into service rapidly. Organizer Schwartz, of the American Federation, who organized the Pennsylvania tube workers, called a meeting of his men this afternoon at which it was decided that none of the men would return until President Shaffer gave the word. Mr. Schwartz said not a man of the organized tube workers at this plant hael gone to work and that the report that 170 of them had gone In to-day was false. A few laborers and repair men are at work putting the plant in order for work, but aside from these no other workmen are in the mill. The Anchor nail and tack works, on the South Side, transformed into a sheet mill and operated as an independent plant by strikers from the Wellsville plant of the I'nited States Steel Corporation, was tied up to-day. The mill has two trains of the sheet rolls and a bar mill. P. J. Connor, the foreman. Was leader of the Wellsville strikers. MAYOR RLACK IN A RACE.

QUARRELED IN THE JAIL CA LED POWERS MIRDEROISLV ASSAULTED IIV JAMES HOWARD. Strnek on the Hend vlth an Inkstnnd and Rendered I nennseioiis Hotv Over Money Muttern. FRANKFORT, Ky.. Sept. 4. James Howard and ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers, convicted as Goebel murder conspirators, quarreled in Jail here this afternoon. Howard threw a heavy inkstand at Powers, striking him In the head. Powers was knocked over and bled profusely. Drs. Demaree and Crutcher dressed the wound. They remained with Powers over an hour. The only witness was ex-AdJ. Gen. J. K. Dixon, who was in conference with the two men. Powers was too ill to-night to be seen. Howard, on the advice of his attorneys, relused to talk. Howard's new trial begins here next Monday and his attorneys have been in conference here all of to-day. Powers was unconscious for thirty-five minutes, and it was at first thought his skull had been fractured, but Dr. Demaree said late to-night that he could not find any evidences of a fracture. He remained with the patient till a late hour. Symptoms of concussion developed, and a slight paralysis of the left arm and side appeared. Dr. Demaree would not state how serious he thought the wound might prove, but intimated that he considered his-condition serious. Col. J. K. X. Dixon, assistant adjutant general under the administration of former Governor Taylor, who had just returned from eastern Kentucky, where he collected considerable money for the defense of both Powers and Howard, was in the room with the men at the time of the trouble. A controversy between the two men arose as to a division of the money. Roth grew angry, and Howarü seized an Iron inkstand and hurled it at Powers with terrific force. Powers was struck on the side of the head just above the parietal bone. A branch of the temple artery was severed, and a gash ef four inches laid open. Roth men have been In jail over a year, and they have apparently been the best of friends. Howard, talking to Colonel Dixon afterward, expressed deep regret that the affair had occurred.

TEXARKANA, Ark., Sept. 4.-The six men who held up the Cotton Belt passenger train at Eylau, Tex., last night are still at large. The robbers evidently rode their horses up Akin creek and left them standing in the stream. They then used a hand car and went five miles north, as the hand car was found near where the train was stopped. After looting the mail and express cars the robbers returned to the creek, mounted their horses and again rode down the stream, thus obliterating their trail. The robbers secured one package of $10,000, and it is said the entire haul was about $C5,0o0. The expressmen, railroad and government officials ane very reluctant about discussing the robbery. At noon to-day the pursuing officers returned to Texarkana and reported that they could not find a single clew that would show who the robbers were or which way they went. At 1 o'clock this afternoon a" special train went to the scene of the holdup with Col. O. K. Wheeler, chief of the Cotton Belt detectives. Sheriff Stanley Edwards. U. S. Marshal John Grant and a large posse of deputies, who had with them a pack of bloodhounds. An effort will be made to strike a trail leading from Akins creek. At 4 o'clock another posse, headed by Constable James Rochelle, left lor Eylau to try for .1 trail where the train was first stopped. Rochell, with his brace of hounds from Cass county, it is believed will strike the trail before morning. Texas sheriffs arc rushing here from every direction and arc bringing deputies of every kind. To-night the posses returned here, having called the bloodhounds from the track. It has been discovered that the robbers secured one bag of gold which required the combined efforts of two men to carry from the express car to the engine. The through safe was dynamited. While the dogs were trailing. It is claimed, enough was learned to place the guilty parties, who are- believed to be Texarkana men. or at least one man, the remainder being boys. The arrest of the leader is looked for hourly. The amount of booty has been reported too low, and it is now said it will reach nearly $50.PoO. The Cotton Belt has offered a reward of $1,S00 for the robbers, and the express company 10 per cent, of all money recovered. All the posses have been recalled to Texarkana, and pursuit Is now confined strictly' to Texarkana. i DETAILS OF THE ROBBERY. How the Locomotive Wan Found by Engineer Henderson. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 4. The following details of last night's train robbery have been received here from Fort Worth, Tex.: "Cotton Belt passenger train No. 1, southbound, due to leave Texarkana at 9:25 last night, was delayed in its departure and did not get out until 11 o'clock. It reached the Texas & Pacific crossing, four miles south of Texarkana, about 11:23 p. m. As it stopped to blow, six men boarded the train. Two of these were on the engine and compelled the engineer and fireman to go back and cut the mall and baggage cars from the train. When this had been done, the six men boarded the engine, left Ihe fireman with the train, and the engineer was instructed to pull out south. The train was run to Eylau, a small siding, where a stop was made. While one man guarded the engine, the fiye others went back to the express car, forced the doors and blew open the safe. They took their time at the work, and when they had concluded returned to the locomotive with two sacks heavy with booty. These they tossed on the engine. Turning to the engineer, one said: ' 'We'll just shell road you here; you are not the only engineer in this crowd, and 1 guess we can run the machine a few miles without your assistance. When you locate your wagon figure the run in on your mileage, as we won't put in time for the run we make.' "Putting out the headlight, the banditengineer opened the throttle and pulled out. Engineer Henderson was left with the express and mail cars and the messenger and postal clerk. He made his way to a section house within a mile or two of the scene and, procuring a handcar and some men to assist in propelling It. started on a search for the locomotive. It was slow work. At a point south of Rowan, within four miles of Red Water, they came upon the deserted engine standing on the main track, throttle closed, lights out and no one in sight. The engine was at the bottom of the grade anel had either been deserted or had been left at a point further north and was allowed by its own weight to seek the l?vel tracK. Engineer Henderson got aboard, backed to tne mail and express ears and coupled up. "The tram wad not put together until early this morning. Some time after midnight Henderson succeeded In getting his engine and the two ears back to where the first stop was made by the robbers, and the train proceeded south to Mount Pleasant, the division point. There a full report was made and the officials of the company ordered everything possible done to locate the robbers. "in the meantime Conductor Armstrong and neveral passeneers had walked back to Texarkana and given the alarm. Without delay the sherl:f organized a posse and started In pursuit and the conductor returned to his train. The passengers were not molested. The trick was turmd by men ir.ore experbneed in railroading than in robbery. They knew the stops ot the train and wire prepared for the emergency thus present'.. It was not necessary for theni to fl4g the engineer, and when he stopped to blow for the crossing, they cilmotd

aboard. They were armed but did not make unnecessary display of their weapons. All were masked and each w.ore a coat. The country where the holdup occurred is densely wooded, so that the robbers have had an opportunity to double on their tracks through the timber and hide the route they are travtling." A dispatch from Texarkana. Tex., says: "The otficers who left here this morning on a special train returned at noon to-day from the scene of the Cotton Belt train robbery. It -s said the robbers secured between S'AOOO and fc.'XO from the express and mail cars." Luther A. Fuller, general superintendent of the Pacific Express Company, when asked to-nis;ht over the telephone for information as to the amount of the loss sustained by his company in the Cotton Belt hold up, was not inclined to say much. Beyond stating that the safe rilled was not made up in St. Louis and that it contained several bags of silver. Mr. Fuller would divulge no further facts.

Exact Amount I nknown. DALLAS. Tex., Sept. 4. General Manager Bowron, of the Cotton Belt Texas lines, telephoned as follows from headquarters in Tyler this afternoon: "The details of the robbery are substantially as gathered by press representatives. Six robbers dynamited the through Pacific Express train from St. Louis and took the contents. The United States mail was not molested. It is reasonable to assume that considerable money was secured by the robbers, out the amount can only be learned at St. Louis, as it was a through safe from that point." POOLROOM RAIDED. Chartered Club Opposite the WaldorfAstoria That Was Well Patronized. NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Society for the Prevention of Crime made to-day what Agent Dillon calls the riggest raid yet on a poolroom. The place is a chartered club opposite the Waldorf-Astoria. Those in charge of the raid allege that the club is run by Thomas F. Reynolds, assignee for "Honest" John Kelly. Over 10") men were In the place, but only five were arrested J. J. O'Keefe. cashier; Ernest Morgan, card writer; Thomas Walsh, sheet writer, and two citizens. The warrants were issued by Justice Jerome. The prisoners were taken to the station, and Justice Jerome left word- that he would accept bail in $2,0U0 each. It Is claimed that this club is one of the alleged poolrooms on the list which Edward Whitney furnished Agent Dillon some time ago. Entrance was effected by smashing in the doors. Seventy-rive men were found on a ladder which was secreted in a shaft. Five telephones and private telephone books were also found in the place. THREE LABORERS KILLED AND THREE SERIOl SLV INJ I RED HV A III GE SLIDE OF LAN D. Another Accident nt Cleveland Seven Hundred Ton of Earth Loomened by Reeent Flood. CLEVELAND. O., Sept. 4. Three men were killed and three others seriously injured to-night in a landslide at the new lake Shore bridge over the boulevard entrance to Gordon Park. Seven hundred tons of earth, loosened by the flood of Sunday, suddenly slid fumi the bank, burying a fore- of laborers engaged in work on the bridge. The companions of those who were buried immediately began work of rescue, but it was nearly two and ü half hours before i h last body was dug out. The -cad Angele Donneo, Nick Manio and An onlo Fierimond. The Injured Dominien Conjolati, Nicola Credreo and Francisco Fierimond. Where the boulevard approaches Gordon Park the Lake Shore Railroad crosses Doan brook gulley on a high embankment. Under this embankment the city and railroad are jointly placing a fine stone arch bridge. Temporary scaffolding has been placed around the place, and the approach to the bridge is over an embankment about thirty feet high. At the base of the embankment a gang cf Italian laborers were engaged in clearing away debris and eligging a pit preparatory to laying the foundations. Above them on the tracks was a gang of men employed by the Lake Shore engaged In strengthening the embankment, which had been weakened during the flood of Sunday. The workmen on top of the embankment noticed that the sides were quivering and that an immense landslide was impending. Some of them yelled to the men below to "look out," and almost at the same instant the great mass of earth fell with a mighty roar. The pit where the men were working was some twenty feet from the base of the embankment. In the twinkling tf an eye the great weight of moist earth was upon them. Those who were nearest the edge of the pit scrambled out uninjured at the first sound of the avalanche. The others were caught and burled. EVIDENCE OF INCENDIARISM. Alleged Attenirt to Burn the Orpheon Theater Building. CHICAGO, Sept. 4. What the firemen say was a well-arranged plan to destroy the Orpheon Theater building. In Washington street, opposite the City Hall, was made shortly after midnight. The building is a four-story structure, and many of the rooms are occupied as offices by various firms. The principal occupant is the Music Hall Company, now operating the Orpheon Theater. Assistant Fire Marshal Horan and his men discovered evidences of incendiarism in a room on the fourth floor. This evidence, now in the hands of the fire department, consists of one large bottle containing gasoline, two glasses half filled with kerosene oil, and several candles burned almost to the end. The firemen also have a bundle of rags soaked in oil. and a quantity of charred newspapers. On the floor a train of powder also was found. The fire was first discovered by pedestrians who were attracted by what sounded like a small explosion. An alarm was given, and the quick arrival of the fire department prevented what migbt have been a serious fire. The fact that the explosion ocurred after the theater was closed is regarded as most fortunate. If the explosion as planned had occurred earlier in the evening disastrous results might have followed, as there were many people In the house. The matter Is b. ing thorougly investigated by the authorities to-day. Loss of 9100.000. EMPORIA. Kan.. Sept. 4.-Fire to-day destroyed a number of residences, the planing mill of E. S.

BRIEF AND SOLEMN AFFAIR SUCCESSFUL EFFORT BV THE KAIS ER TO IMPRESS THE ENVOV. Text of the Letter and Speeches No Salute for the Prince I'ntll After the Ceremony Was Over. BERLIN. Sept. 4.-Emperor William's reception of the Chinese mission of expiation headed by Prince Chun, which took place to-day at Totsdam, was marked with all the severity consistent with an audience nominally friendly. The Chinese Imperial envoy, on entering the palace, was not accorded a salute by the gard du corps. The Emperor received him seated. The buttons and epaulets of his Majesty's white uniform were enveloped in crape. Court dignitaries. Cabinet ministers and generals were present. Prince Chun bowed thrice on entering and leaving. Emperor William remained seated during the reading of the Chinese address. Afterward, however, he relaxed his stern demeanor and welcomed the envoy courteously and subsequently, accompanied by his adjutant, he called on Prince Chun at the Orangery. Later in the evening the Emperor, Prince Chun and a dozen members of the expiatory mission took tea on an island in the Havel. The Emperor had evidently arranged the entire ceremony with a view of impressing Prince Chun with the feeling that the. ceremony meant expiation for a foul crime and that only through expiation had Prince Chun acquired the right to be treated with princely honors. Not until after the ceremony did the atmosphere change. Then, the troops outside having saluted and the 'band having played, hussars escorted Prince Chun back to the Orangery. The imperial envoy seemea ateply Impressed wilh the solemnity of the occasion, and when summoned to the throntroom he showed visible embarrassment. He bowed repeatedly while approaching the thionc, and his voice was agitated while he was leading the imperial address.' The entile manner of Emperor William was calculated to impress Prince Chun with the solemnity of the ceremonial. He spoke emphatically and seriously, emphasizing particularly the word "civilized." The ceremony lasted only ten minutes. In the meantime the six Chinese dignitaries of the highest rank w no were halted in the ante-room remained there perfectly motionless and speechless, awaiting Prince Chun's return with evident anxiety. Prince. Chun retired bacKwards from the throneroom, bowing profusely. According to th Lokal Anzeiger the Chinese envoy will breakfast to-morrow with the Emperor anci Empress. Early to-day Prince Chun placed wreaths on the tombs of the Emperor and Empress Frederick. There was apparently but little public interest in the ceremony at the Potsdam Palace among the people of Berlin. A small but demonstrative crowd watched Prince Chun driving in the park. Prince Chun was driven to the palace in an imperial carriage in which was the new Chinese minister, Klen Chan, and Gen Von Hoeplner. Four royal carriages containing the Chinese dignitaries of the envoy's suit followed. The Prince, on going to the autdence, passed through the jasper galleries between lines of gvards. In the meanwhile a guard of honor had been drawn up outside the palace, and presented arms, with the b;nd playing, as Prince Chun emerged. The envoys pased down the lines of troops, scluting in Chinese fashion, with folded hands. The Chinese Emperor's letter to Enperor William confessed "penitence and shame for the crime (the murder of Baron Von Ketteler the German minister at Peking), w hich he had- beea unable to prevent." The letter follows: "The great Emperor of the Chinese Empire, to His Majesty, the great German Emperor: "Greeting! Ever since the empires have been mutually represented by permanent legations we have stood uninterrupted in friendly relationship with each other, especially since the visit of Prince Henry, whom I had the privilege of receiving frequently and treating with on intimate terms. Unfortunately in the fifth month of last year the Boxers rebelliously penetrated into Peking, and the soldiers joined them. The result was the murder of your Majesty's minister. Baron Von Ketteler, a man, who as long as he occupied his post at Peking, paid careful attention to the interests of nur countries, and to whom we are bound to pay our special acknowledgments. We regret most deeply that Baron Von Getteler met so terrible an end among us. The fact that we were not in a position to take protective measures was painful to our sense of responsibility. It was this feeling of responsibility which prompted us to erect a monument on the spot, as a sign that the crime should not remain unexpiated. Further we have sent to Germany, with this letter, the Imperial Prince Chun Tsai Fong. heading a special mission. Prince Chun, our own brother, will assure your Majesty how deeply the events of the past year have grieved us and how deeply feelings of penitence and shame still animate us. Your Majesty sent your troops from a far distance, put down the Boxers' rebellion and restored peace for the welfare of our nation. We have therefore commanded Prince Chun to express personally to your Majesty otir thanks for your efforts In promoting peace. We cherish the hope that your Majesty's indignation will be replaced by the old friendship. That the relations between our empires will be even more extensive, and of a more intimate and beneficent character than hitherto, is our firm assurance." Prince Chun, in delivering the letter, said: "I am in a position to assure your Majesty that the Emperor. my most gracious master, stood aloof from these complications which brought misfortune upon China, and loss and care upon Germany. Nevertheless. In accordance with the customs of thousands of years, the Emperor of China has taken the blame on his own sacred person. I have, therefore the task of expressing to your Majesty the most cordial feelings of the Emperor, my most illustrious master, toward vour Majesty and the whole Imperial familv. I 1 hope the passing cloud will only Intensify the succeeding sunsnin? ana mutual friendship of the two great empires, when they understand the value of earh other better." Emperor William. In reply, said: "It is no Joyous or festive occasion, or the fulfillment of a simple act of courtesy which brings your Imperial Highness to me. but a deeplv melancholy and very Marions event. My minister to the court of the Ernperor of China has been slain in the capital of China bv the murderous weapons of the Chinese soldiers, acting under euperior command.

an unheard of crime which is branded as infamous by international law and the usages of a 11 nation-. "From the mouth nf your Imperial Highness I have j list received an expression of the deep regret of the Emperor of China. I readi'y believe your imperial brother personally stood aloof from this crime and the subsequent aets of violence aeainst the inviolable legations and peaceful forticmrs. All the greater the guilt resting on his advisers iuul government. The l.uter must not delude themselves with the belief that they are able to obtain atonement and pardon for their guilt bv the expi itory mission alone. They will be' judged by their future conduct in accordance of the laws of nations. If the Emperor of China conducts the governments of his great empire henceforth strictlv in the spirit of these prescriptions, then will his hopes be fulfilled and the results of t lie complications of the past year will be overcome and between Germany and China, as formerly, peaceful and friendly relations will again orevail. in the sincere wish that this mav be so, I bid your Imperial Highness welcome."

Chinese Chuckling;. LONDON. Sept. 5. "The Chinese are chuckling over Prince Chun's victory in Berlin." says the Peking correspondent of the Times. "The incident has given Russia another opportunity of foreseeing that Germany would yield. The Russian legation daily advise China through Li Hung Chang to keep firm and thus embarrass Germany, declaring that the Czar in his friendship for China was interceding with Emperor William to spare China an indignity. Accordingly, the Chinese attribute Prince Chun's success to Russia's assistance." Will ApnloKize to the Mtkndo. YOKOHAMA. Sept. 4.

President McKinley, with Mrs. McKinley and John G. Milburn. president of the exposition, entered the first carriage.

DOAMi TO 111' ftMOMS COLLECTOR AT OG.LES A. T. Appointed in Plaee of an Indiana 31 an Whi In Charged with Conspiracy to niUKSle Chinese. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Sept. L Attorney General Knox is spending a portion of hla time studying charges that have been preferred against Tederal judge. The department Is dogged with these ca5ca. The case of Judge A. II. Noycs, of Nome, which has been pending for pome time, will be heard within a few day?. Justice A. S. Humphreys, of Honolulu, has been here for some time defending himself against charges preferred by members of the bar in the island, and now charges have been prefirrcd against Chief Justice Webster Street, of Arizona. Judge Street was formrly from Ohio. The charges Kate that the judge was poor when he was appointed, in fact, was in debt. Later reports commenced to arrive that the judge was living in great luxury on his salary of M0. The department pent an agent to investigate. He discovered that the judge was living well, and spending portions of his time at Atlantic City and New York and spending money freely. When the next batch of charges arrived Street was summoned to Washington to give an account of himself. He came here from Atlantic City, and will be given a. hcaiim; by the attorney general. Judge Humphreys's case represents a light between the American party ami the strongly-tstablished missionary party la Honolulu. The missionary clement h.3 large holdings descendent from early mUTheir exponent is the native clement. They are strong in the Legislature and did not pass laws demanded by the Dole people. They charged bribery, etc. Humphreys, federal judge and owner of the most influential newspaper, handed down opinions that elid not suit his opponents. He would sentence attorneys to imprisonment for contempt and Governor iJole would immediately pardon them. They charged the judge with being partial. The judge, in his reply, states that when the trouble commenced there was a stockade in Honolulu with huts for 2T0 females. From this a profit of from $0t,öu0 to JIj.o) was derived annually, which, he says, was divided betwcea the high officials and territorial government. It was regulated by the high sheriff, who was appointed by the government. It Is generally lelie-vcd that Judfre Humphreys will be sustained. Judge Noyes will have to defend charges of having been unusually active In appointing receivers for mining companies. Petitions have been received on both Fides, and although Noyes w ill be here In a f t w days, and given a hearing, it is thought probable the Department of Justice will send a commission to Nome to determine the exact situation of affairs.
