Kuban. one of "the cities of the
plain' in Persia, had until recently a
population of twenty thousand, but an
earthquake came end killed twelve
thousand of them; also fifty thousand
cattle. It reads like a repetition of the
old Scripture narrative of Sodom and
Gomorrah, though in this instance the
people were not punished fortheir sins,
but for the mistake of living in a pleas
ant and fertile valley. The moun
tains around the city were scarcely
shaken. The east is the land of
earthquakes, but thus far it has en
joyed comparative immunity from the

Reports from London indicate that
Mrs. Maybrick will soon be liberated
from prison. Accompanying them is
the claim made that this executive
clemency would probably have been
shown her sooner but for the imperti
nent intermeddling of her volunteer
American friends. They do not raise a
question as to the right of interces
sion by such friends, but do deprecate
their methods. The English author
ities who control the fate of the unfor
tunate Mrs. Maybrick are not proof
against appeals to their sympathy, but
attempts to browbeat anti coerce them
delayed executive clemency.

Supreme Bench, and the Senate
Immediately Confirm* Hint.
A SOUTHERN MAX BELKCTKDL
Washington, Feb. 21.—Senator White,
of Louisiana, was nominated for as
sociate justice of the supreme court.
The sens e upon receiving the nomina
tion immediately went into executive
session, and confirmed it at once, with
out opposition.
The nomination was a complete sur
prise. No one had the slightest inti
mation of it. Those nearest the presi
dent believed that he would nominate
EDWARD D WHITE.
Judge Cullen, of New Y'ork. Senator
White called on the president this
morning by special invitation. His
colleague. Senator Caffery, went with
him. Upon entering the execu
tive room the president tendered
Senator Whie the nomination. Both
senators were profoundly aston
ished. When they recovered their
composure the president expressed
the hope that the senator would
accept thv offer. He spoke of his
legal attainments and his manifest
qualifications. When he finished the
senators conferred together for a few
minutes, A long talk between them
followed and ended with Senator
White's accepting the high honor.
When Assistant Private Secretary
Pruden appeared at the capital there
was a rush of anxious ones for him.
The assistant private secretary was
as much in the dark about Sena
tor White's nomination as anyone
The first person besides the
president and the two senators
to learn of it was when one of the sen
ate clerks opened the official envelope
brought by Mr. Pruden and laid a pa
per before Senator Vilas, who was pre
siding, and Senator Manderson, who
was standing by. Their faces betrayed
their astonishment
It is the usual custom in the senate
when a senator is nominated to con
firm him without waiting to refer the
nomination to a committee. A single
objection to confirmation without ref
erence would earry the nomination
over. At 3:05 p. in. the senate went
into executive session on a motion of
Senator Caffery (dem., La.), with
a view to confirming Senator
White at once. The motion to con
firm the nomination of Senator White
as associate justice was made by
Senator Pugh (dem., Ala), who made
a speech eulogistic of the nomination
and was followed by Senators Hoar,
Teller, Hill anJ Cafferty, all except
the latter members of the judiciary
committee. Senator Hill said that
while he regretted that the president
had in his wisdom seen fit to go out
side ot New York for a man for the of
fice he was pleased that the choice had
been made so wisely.
'1 he injunction of secrecy was re
moved from the confirmation of \\ dte
and the fact was made known ofiicial
ly. The new justice, it is supposed,
will receive his commission and be
ready to take his seat on the benzil
when the supreme court reassembles
the first Monday in March.
The nomination is considered a
splendid one from a standpoint of per
sonal fitness. Senator White, though
serving his first term in ihe sen
ate, is regarded by his colleagues
as one of the foremost law
yers of the upper house. lie
is a fine orator and his speech
last session against the anti-op
tion bill placed him at once in the
fFont ranks of the senate. He is a
large man of imposing presence and
will make a good appearance on the
bench. He was not in the senate when
the nomination came in. He is a cour
teous gentleman and a very popular
niemL> r ol the senate.
[Mr. White v is born ln.thc parish of Lafourche,

He Enlighten* President Dole on Many
Important Points.
Washington. Feb. ‘2l.—President
Cleveland has sent to congress the dis
patches which arrived February 10 at
San Francisco from Hawaii. Among
the papeis is Minister Willis’ reply to
Provisional President Dole's letter in
regard to the minister's attitude show
ing an intention to use force. In part
it is:
"In view of the above s reply to your last
communication may not be necessary, nor
would one be made, except from the aeelre ot
my government to have the good will and
friendship of the peonie for whom you speak,
which result will, in my opinion, be advanced
by an explanation of several matters herein re
ferred to.
"Novenber 15 8. M Damon, minister ot
finance. > otifled me In person that there were
rumors ot an attack that night or the ensuing
night upon the executive building 1 remarked:
•■The Japanese consul general, the English
minister and other foreign representatives
have already called to say that their people
are apprehensive of mob violence and asked
me, as the only representative whose gov
er union t has war vessels now in pirt,
to protect their people. The friends ot the
queen are also apprehensive as to her
safety. Ido not wish to Interfere it* any way
with your domestic affairs, except with your
approval It you do not object, however, I will
publicly announce that the United States will
cooperate to prevent mob violence. I will also
state that there will be no communication to
vour government from the president of the
United States for several weeks.’
"Mr. Damon replied thanking me for the offer
and saying thaffhe could see no objection what
ever, that such an announcement would go very
far toward allaying excitement and relieving
geu'-ral anxiety. The following morning you
filed at this legation, and on being informed ot
the preceding facts you expresssd your satis
faction and approval of what hud occurred.
The representatives of the foreign governments
and many prominent citizens expressed them
selves to the same effect The action taken
was meant and understood at the time as in the
interest of peace, humanity and good order,
and will after tats explanation no longer, I
hope, be considered an evidence of hostility.
"In this conneot<on it may not be improper
to mention the conduct of our naval forces dur
ing the trying ctrcumstai.ees succeeding the
24th of last November The many rumors as
to their purpose of landing and attack
ing your people, the feeling of resent
ment naturally resulting from tne honest
belief by a large part ot the community
that such was their intention, the op
problous epithets that were freely employed
brought about such a dangerous and critical
condition that for a time, as Admiral Irwin
states, It became necessary tor all our oJicers
going ashore to wear their service uniforms as
a protection against insult and attack. During
tho whole of this unfortunate and regretable
situation the demeanor of both officers and
men was one of forbearance and self-control
"My government, one month prior to the time
referred to, had given you information negativ
ing the idea of using force, and bad authorized
the publics l ion ot such information ‘to allay
any such apprehension.' furthermore, as frank
ly admitted by you in this correspondence,
'your government did not itself entertain this
apn-ehensfon.
■1 des.re to stale that the only communica
tions of a political character which 1 have
had with the queen were limited to three occa
sions The sole purpose ot these n< guttations
were, as you know to secure proper guarantees
from the queen as to life and property of all
connected with the overthiow ot tho mon
archy. These having been assured I then, un
der the instructions ot the prOdent ot the
United States, presented his decisions, set
ting forth the reasons therefor and submitting
to your government for its voluntary action.
“Touching the statement that your govern
ment was refused permission to forward ‘Ha
waiian government dispatches' by the dispatch
boat Corwta, it is only necessary to remind you
that tne naval officers of the United States and
the public generally were denied such privilege,
and that no inference of unfriendly feeling
should therefore be drawn. Moreover, at the
time your letter was written you were aware
of the fact that for t'ae acconuuodatton of your
government the Corwin had been delayed over
half a week.
"As to the requests of the British minister
and Japanese coni al general for permission to
laud troops, they were. I am inform' d, precau
tionary measures against possible mob vio
lence. This permission is still outstanding,
and is not now and was not then, in my judg
meut, proper evidenee of a hostile purpose on
Ute part of our government”
EVANS GIVES UP.
The Fatneus Bandit and Ills Partner in
In Crime, -Morrell, Captured.
Visalia, Cal,, Feb. 21. Bandits
Evans and Morrell are now safely
Itxlged behind the bars in the county
jail here having surrendered to Sher
iff Kay. A posse under the di
rection of Marshal Gard and Sher
iff Kay went to Evans* house
at 3 a. m. Monday and lost no time in
surrounding it It was learned that a
woman named Mrs. Brighton was in
the house together with Evans’ chil
dren, and an effort was made to get
' them out before making an attack to
capture the outlaws.
It was evident that the bandits were
thoroughly frightened at the large
foree that had surrounded them. All
varieties of firearms were brought
into use and the posse was well
prepared for the attack. Negotiations
between the officers and Evans
were carried on by letters d divered
by the bandit's youngest son. Hatt the
population of the town stood about
the house at a safe distance wh e the
proceedings were going on. Matters
leaving been thoroughly arranged.
Sheriff Kay paid a young man
named Beeson to go into the house to
get Evans' children out. Beeson was
admitted and it was some time before
he came out. His presence, doubtless,
had some influence with Evans, for it
was not long afterward before he sur
rendered to the sheriff.
Evans exhibited signs of bis long
confinement, and looked very rough.
Morrell showed no signs of fear, yet
he seemed serious, and appeared to ap
preciate the condition of affairs. The
citizens here feel greatly relieved since
the capture of the two inen.< The cap
ture of the bandits will occasion much
rejoicing throughout the state, for so
long as they were at large the officers
of the law knew that their robberies
and murders would continue.

RETURNED THE VISIT.
Emperor William Calls on Urine® Bis
marck at Friedrichsruhe.
Fhiedrichsbuhe, Feb. 21.—Another
link has been forged in the chain of
reconciliation between Emperor Wil- '
liarn ami Prince Bismarck. Emperor
William left Berlin at 2:20 Monday
afternoon and arrived here shortly
after 5 o’clock. In spite of the request
Py the emperor that there should be no
demonstration upon the occasion of his
arrival here the railway station and
the village were gayly decorated.
Prince Bismarck, upon leaving the
castle for the railroad station in order
to meet Emperor William, was greeted
with loud applause by the crowds of
people assembled. The emperor, who
wore a naval uniform covered by a dark
cloak, stepped briskly out of the
carriage wucn the train drew up
at the platform and approached
Prince Bismarck, who wore the
cuirassier uniform, with helmet, and
the gray uniform, cloak recently pre
sented to him by the emperor. Warm
and lepeated hand shakes were ex
changed between the emperor
and the ex-chancellor, after which
the former carefully wrapped the
gray cloak around the prince's
shoulder's, Bismarck having doffed the
garment just previous to greeting the
emperor. The emperor and Prince Bis
marck then walked to the castle of
Friedrichsruhe, followed by the em
peror's suite of seven persons. They
were enthusiastically received by the
crowds lining the route. Upon arriving
at the castle Emperor William greeted
Princess Bismarck and, with the prin
cess upon his arm, the emperor pro
ceeded to the salon. The emperor con
gratulated Prince Bismarck on his
hearty appearance and then introduoed
the prince to his suite. The emperor
shook hands with Secretary Chrysander
and Dr. Schweninger.
The dinner to his majesty was in
private. Only twelve cover- were laid.
Neither Count Herbert nor William
Bismarck was present The emperor
sat between Prince and Princess Bis
marck. After dinner all conversed cor
dially, the prince and emperor smok
ing.
At 9 o’clock his majesty took his de
parture. The ex-chancellor accom
panied him back to the station and he
and the emperor shook hands several
times before parting. On the way to
toe station from the Bismarck resi
dence the cheering of the crowds was
incessant and the emperor repeatedly
saluted.
Returning home Prince Bismarck
was almost carried off his feet by his
excited admirers, who crowded around
him, and the crush became so great
that the fire brigade had to precede the
carriage and clear the way. Prince
Bismarck seems to be in much bettei
health since his reconciliation with the
emperor than for a long time past.
The reconciliation Is now complete
and Bismarck's influence will soon be
felt again. But he never again will be
chancellor, although he could be to
morrow if he wished to. The emperor
will probably create an entirely new
office for him at an early date.
M KANE TO SING SING.
Sis Years' Sentence Given the Gravesend
Political Bo».
New York, Feb. 21.—Six years’ im
prisonment in Sing Sing prison was
the sentence passed Monday upon John
: Y. McKane, the once great boss of
- Gravesend and Sheepshead Bay.
i Both McKane and his friends
were appalled, for they had expected
the minimum punishnrent of two years
on account of the recommendation of
the jury for the convicted man. Upon
i the opening of court Judge Bartlett
sentenced McKane, after having over
ruled motions for a new trial and for a
stay pending appeal. M*'<ane, when
asked if he had anything to say, re
plied:
“I do not know that I can s.iy anything but
what I said on the stand during this trial. )
have never done anything to anyone as far as
I know. I never did any thing directly or Indi
rectly wrong wtlh regard to the election nor
did I ever counsel anyone else to do anything
wrong. I again say that lam not guilty of any
offense against the law.”
Supreme Judge Edgar M. Cullen just
before 10 o'clock Monday night signed
an order for the prosecut'on to show
cause before himself at special term
Friday morning why a certificate of
reasonable doubt should not lie issued
upon which a motion for a new trial in
the McKane case may be favorably en
tertained. The order was coupled with
a stay of the execution of McKane's
six years' sentence until a decision is
rendered in the present application.

ALCOHOL IN HOUSEKEEPING.
The Variety of Uses to Which This Valu
able Adjunct May Be Applied.
In recent years we have learned to
go to the drug-store for materials for
cleaning, and such drugs as borax,
household ammonia and some others
are so regularly used that they have
become a part of the stock of the deal
er in household groceries. Pure a’co
hol is most valuable in cleaning lamps,
window panes, for removing spots of
varnish from marble, and many other
spots which nothing else seems to reach
so well.
A few drops of alcohol on the i aside
of a lamp chimney removes all trace of
greasy smoke, when water alone is of
no avail. Lamp chimneys which
i are cleaned in this way are not
so likelv to crack a, .vhen
they are cleaned with water. A
I tablespoonful or so added to the dish
! water in which fine glass is washed has
: a wonderful brightening effect, giving
i them a clearness and brilliancy that
never can be attained by soap and wa
| ter alone. Nothing dissolves varnish
Iso quickly as a little alcohol. Though
i turpentine and soap and vtater be ut-
I terly unavailing, old paint stains will
often yield to alcohol alone.
The advantage th it alcohol has over
turpentine is that it evaporates quick
i ly and leaves no residue behind, as tur
pentine does. Though turpentine is
; excellent for cleaning glass, it must be
i washed off carefully, or a sticky film is
the result. —N. Y. Tribune.

Obvious effort in the way of enter
