Hard to Beat!
THAT'S exactly the case with our hats—they are hard to
beat in any respect. They are hard to beat in appear
ance, because they're the handsomest specimens of head
wear ever seen in Los Angeles; Jm*
they're hard to beat for wear be-
cause they're genuine, well made JSrJf mCv>w
and durable, and impossible to /tK$
beat in price because they're ".-T^ti
sold at such ridiculously low fig-
ures that such a word as " bar- if-^|\Uv <;?,,^*i
gain " doesn't half tell the story.

on the heads of our customers (that's where thty belong), and
at prices that will please.

LOS ANGELES: SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 18, 1893.
THE CRUEL WAR IS OVER.
Peace Once More Reigns in
Bleeding Kansas.
State Troops Sent Home and
Fosses Disbanded.
Republicans and Populists Agree to
a Compromise.
Hostilities Suspended und the Courts
Appealed to for a Settlement of
the Existing Legislative
Difficulties.
By the Associated Press,
Topeka, Feb. 17.—The state troops
have been Bent home, the armed posse
of deputy sheriffs disbanded, the Re
publicans and Populists have laid down
their arms, and tbe war ia over.
The developmentß of the day are re
garded on all sides as a decisive victory
for the Republicans. They secure, by
the terms of tho compromise, undis
puted possession of repreaentative hall,
in the capitol, the main point for which
they had been etruggling. The Populista
secure tbe hollow privilege of meeting
undisturbed in some other place. The
final result of the struggle, however,
will have no effect on the unfortunate
legislative muddle. The Populists say
their house will go right ahead making
lawß, no matter what the courts may
do. The senate will continue to recog
nize the Populist house, and the gover
nor will sign the bills passed by it.
Should they be declared Invalid by rea
son of having been passed by an illegal
house, then tbe Populiats say the blame
will rest on the courts. In case such a
state of things cornea to paBS tbe state
institutions—colleges, asyluma, schools,
etc. —will have to to close.
A VICTORY FOB TUB BEI'UBUCANS,
When the word waß received in the
Republican house that Governor Lew
elling had withdrawn the troopa a great
cheer went up. Speaker DonglaßS made
an address stating that the Republicans
had won a great victory and would win
another tomorrow is tbe supreme court.
POPULISTS ALSO EXULT.
Governor Lewelling said to an Associ
ated Press reporter this evening that the
, PoDnlirt jMrty had taken ao backward
j step. Tb»Fopulißt houae will now pro
ceed without fear of molestation to the
transaction of buainese. Bloodshed had
been avoided, and this he aaid ia
th« crowning triumph of the Populiat
victory. The governor added that he
and the senate would recognize but one
house. If the supreme court declares
the Populist houae unconstitutional,
then the responsibility for the acta of
the houee will rest with it. The Pop
ulists at all times deny the right of the
supreme court to determine any question
arising from the organization of houae of
representatives.
DOWNFALL OF THE MILITIA,
Brigadier-General Nettinger Btated to
night that Colonel Hughes will be court
martialed for refusing to obey the in
structions of the governor to eject the
Republicans. It ia not likely that
court-martial proceedings againat other
offlcere will be instituted. The present
trouble will no doubt be a death blow to
the Kansas national guard, which has
bo long been the military pride of
Kansas.
EVENTS OF THE DAY.
Snowfall Made Soldiering Tory Uncom
fortable.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 17.—Snow fell to
the depth of a foot, making it very un
comfortable for the soldiers during the
night. This morning the guarda around
the capitol were increased. All passes
issued yesterday were rescinded on the
ground that the Republicans had broken
faith by smuggling a lot of deputies into
tho hall, and the governor took the mat
ter of issuing passes into hia own hands.
The guards refused to permit baskets of
provisions to be taken into the capitol.
The Republican house passed an order
appointing a committee to get provis
ions. When they came to the guard
line, the soldiers presented bayonets, but
they were thrust aside and the committee
passed in, followed by a long line of
deputy sheriffs. Lieutenant Patty, in
charge of the guard, pounced on a boy
in line and began choking him, when he
waß felled to the ground with a club.
A shooting scrape was narrowly averted
as the result.
A company of militia, arriving this
morning were sworn in as peace officers
by the sheriff, who will pursue the same
course with later arrivals.
Governor Lewelling received telegrams
tendering encouragement and assist
ance. Pittsburg, Kan..offered 1000 men;
Coffey ville a like number; Smith Center,
200. Senator Peffer and John Davis
telegraphed from Washington : "Guard
the state safely; storm the rebels out."
A PEACEABLE SETTLEMENT.
A Compromise and Armfstlea Finally
Brought About.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 17.—AU indica
tions point to a peaceable settlement of
the pending political war. Both aides
continued to consider the amended com
promise proposition throughout the
night. A conference was held between
the parties after 2 o'clock this morning,
and it is believed an agreement arrived
at, though all parties to it were pledged
to secrecy. From another source it was
learned that the governor accepted the
compromise in practically the form sub
mitted by tbe Republicans yesterday
afternoon. All Bhow of force is to be
withdrawn and everything to remain in
statu quo till the 'courts decide the
habeas corpus cases to bo brought
through the arrest of tbe clerks of both
houses to test the question which house
is tbe legal one.
A memorandum of the agreement was
sent to the Republican houae by the
governor this morning and adopted
by it. It only remains to be ratified by
the Populiet house. It provided for the
possession of repreaentative hall by the
Republicans, tbe Populiats to meet else
where and the sheriff to dismiss hia dep
uties.
The plan of compromise was adopted
by all parties. The Populista engaged
quartera outside of the capitol, in which
to meet. The diatrict court this morn
ing heard and took under advieement
the injunction suit brought by the Re
publicans to reatrain the order from
paying salaries of Populista membera
under the Popullat appropriation bill.
The Munn habeas corpus caae before
the superior court was postponed by mu
tual consent till tomorrow.
The Salary Injunction Case.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 17.—The injunc
tion suit brought by the Republicans
against the auditor to enjoin him from
paying the salaries of Populist mem
bers, under the Populiet appropriation
bill, came up in the district court this
morning. Attorney General Little
made a motion to diemißß the case,
maintaining that the district court has
no jurisdiction. Judge Hazen overruled
the motion, holding that the court did
have authority in the case and that the
dropping of the caee was a matter of its
discretion. The attorney general then
took an exception to the decision and
appealed to the supreme court,

A Conspiracy on tho Part of President
Harrlaon and General Hco
field to Promote a
Vnvorite*
St. Louis, Mo„ Feb. 17.—Brig.-Gen.
E. A. Oarr, whose retirement is alleged
in some quarters to have been brought
about with a purpose, has filed with
thß president a vigorous protest. In his
letter, after quoting the orders sent him
at his promotion, he says:
In accordance with tbe above I re
ported on the Ist day of August and saw
General Schofield in person. He told
me be promised you I should, if pro
moted, retire from active service in
time for you to fill the vacancy occa
sioned by such retirement. I waß
astounded at this statement
and told General Schofield that
had I kqown of such a
promise, I would not have accepted the
appointment of brigadier-general. Now
I am called upon to carry ouLlhe bar
gain made without my kdpmdge or
consent, and when I decline lam
threatened by General Schofield with
forcible retirement. My record in the
army is the only legacy I have to trans
mit to my posterity, and I am deter
mined that no act of mine, by accepting
a promotion secured by unauthorized
promises of immediate retirement, shall
be a part of that record. I appeal
to you, therefore, Mr. President
to consider the situation in
which I have been placed without
my knowledge or consent, and I also re
spectfully, but earnoatly, protest against
any action being taken looking to my in
voluntary retirement from the active
service list of the army, without at least
a full hearing of my Bide of the question,
which bo far has been imperfectly pre
sented.
I am, sir, with greal respect,
Your obedient servant

Jim Says the Winner
Must Take All.
By the Associated Press.
New York, Feb. 17.—Charley Mitch
ell, the English pugilist, met William
A. Brady and Billy Delaney, Corbett's I
representatives, at the World office at 4
o'clock thia afternoon. For an hour and
a half the atmosphere in the sporting
editor's room waa filled with English
finesse and American oratory. Mitch
ell objected to the division of the puree
to be fought for, and bo tbe negotiations
were ended for the time being.
Brady and hia frienda kept the Mitch
ell party waiting for half an hour, and
then forced themselves through a crowd
ol 3000 perßons gathered about the
building, and the proceedings com
menced. Mitchell thereupon produced
20 $500 bills and Brady covered them
with 10 $1000 bills, and the whole
amount, $20,000 wai turned over to the
temporary stakeholder. The fight was
then fixed for the second week in De
cember. The place of contest was left
open, so that clubs may bid for it, and
in the end the club offering tbe largest
purse which is agreeable to both men
will be given the contest.
Mitchell wanted to fight Corbett in a
12-foot ring. Brady eaid a champion
ship battle could not be fought under
such conditions, and Marquis of Queens
berry rules for a finish fight in a 21-foot
ring were agreed to.
It ia arranged that each ehould pro
vide himself with one, two, three, four
and five-ounce gloves, and use the
smallest the club would allow.
Phil Dwyer was selected aa the final
stake holder. It ia also agreed that the
referee should be the official referee of
the club where the fight takes place;
the fight to be to a finish, the referee
having no power to interfere in that re
spect.
Then came an announcement which
threatens to disrupt the whole proceed
ings. Brady aaid the winner would of
course take tbe whole purse, but Mitch
ell objected, saying he thought there
should be a diviaion. Brady wanted all
or nothing, but waa willing to let $1000
go to the loser for training expenses.
Mitchell, however, demanded that the
puree be divided, 80 and 20 per cent.
Brady would not conaent to this, but
finally consented to let tbe loser have
$2500. Mitchell would accept no propo
sition except bis own, and the meeting
adjourned till tomorrow to permit Brady
to telegraph Corbett what further con
cessions he shall make. Corbett's reply
came late tonight, as follows:
"If I can't whip that wind bag I don't
want a cent. The winner must take
ail."
THE ARANSAS PASS ROAD.
The Southern Pacific Suddenly Repudi
ates the Ownership of It.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 17.—Representa
tive Smith of Hill county will introduce
tomorrow or Monday a concurrent reso
lution reciting the aquisition of the Ar
ansas Pass system by the Southern Pa
cilic, a parallel line, in violation of the
constitution, and instructing the attor
ney-general to take proceedings to pre
vent the control of the Aransas Pass by
the Southern Pacific.
San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 17.—General
Manager Stubbs of the Southern Pacific
is here today. When asked when the
transfer of tbe Aransas Pass road would
take place, he said he knew nothing
about such transfer. The Southern Pa
cific had not purchased and don't want
the Aransas Pass. There is a corpora
tion, however, which he understands
has bought the property. It ia the Pa
cific Improvement company, a concern
incorporated under the lawa of Califor
nia. Smiths admitted that some of tbe
stockholders ol the Improvement com
pany and Southern Pacific were identical,
but claimed they were separate com
panies, and that the Aransas Pass road
would be operated as a distinct property,
with Thomas Stillman of New York as
probable president.

GOVERNOR M'KINLEY'S LOSS.
A Bank Failure Leaves Him* Practically
Penniless*
Younqstown, 0., Feb. 17. —A sensa
tion waa cauaed in business, financial
and manufacturing circles today by the
failure of Robert L. Walker, a promi
nent banker and capitalist, who made
an aeaignment for the benefit of hia
creditors. The failure will be wide
spread in its effects, involving Governor
Mi-Kin ley, and the indications are now
that every dollar's worth of property
owned by the governor will be swept
away. Aa near aa can be estimated the
liabilities will reach $2G0,000. The fail
ure was due to investments in properties
and enterprises requiring a large outlay
of money that have not aa yet been pro
ductive. From boyhood Governor Mc-
Kinley and Walker have been the
closest personal friends, and the gov
ernor endorsed Walker's paper fre
quently. The amount is not known, but
iB supposed to be large.
The Girard stove works, in which
Walker waa a large stockholder, failed
tonight. Liabilities $30,000, assets un
known.

BONDS MAY BE ISSUED.
PRESIDENT BABRISON'S SUDDEN
CBANGE OF MIND.
Secretary Foster to Use His Discretion
aa tf, the Issue of Bonds to Main
tain the Gold Reserve in
the Treasury.
New York, Feb. 17. —A special from
Washington says t It ia learned on high
authority that President Harrison haa
reconsidered hia determination not to
allow the aale of bonds to make good
the gold deficiency. Before leaving the
city Wednesday the president author
ized Secretary Foster to offer bonda for
aale whenever in hia judgment euuh ac
tion waa absolutely neceaaary to main
tain the government's gold reserve. Thia
sudden change of mind on the part of
the president waa wholly unexpected
and is not to be attributed to any out
side influence brought to bear upon
him.
TUB RESERVE WILL BE PRESERVED.
Washington, Feb. 17. —Secretary Fos
ter states tod»y that he will preserve the
$100,000,001) gold reserve at all hazards.
How, he could not say, but he stated
with emphasis that if it became neces
sary to issue bonds to do it, he would go
even to that extreme. At present the
free gold is more than $8,000,000. He
felt almost certain he could reach the
end of his term without having to issue
bonds.
"Even to issue bonds, say $50,000,000,"
said the secretary, "would not necessa
rily mean an increase in the gold to that
extent. The law providea that bonds
mnat be paid for in coin. Silver ia coin.
What ia there to prevent silver or ita
equivalent from being offered for bonds?
Nothing.
"Could I refuae it? No.
"Even if the bonds were aold, would
that relieve the aituation?"
"Not unless an arrangement based on
honor between ttie secretary of the
treasury and the purchaser waa made,
and then I would be subject to all sorts
of criticiams. The whole subject is sur
rounded by vexations. You m.ay say,
however, that the gold reserve will be
kept intact, come what may."
treasurer neuecker's opinion.
Treasurer Nebecker is quite emphatic
in hia opinion that the United States
government should not issue bonds at
present, and said today that if either
political party issued bonds it would be.
and deserved to be, vißited with popu
lar condemnation. He received a dis
patch from New York this evening stat
ing that only $780,000 gold was taken
for shipment tomorrow, instead of the
$2,500,000 previous advices intimated,

the statement published to the effeci
that the Southern Pacific company has

about COO, and theae have been at work
all winter. They are laying the new

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Honolulu, Feb. 10.—The steamship
Mariposa arrived here at 9 a.m. this
morning, seven days from San Fran
cisco. As the steamer rounded Diamond
Head, marine glasses turned toward
shore enabled one to see the stars and
stripes floating over the government
building. In the stream were the United
States steamship Boston and the Japan

been heard of the steamer Claudine,
which left San Francisco for Honolulu
on Thursday before the sailing of the
Mariposa.
At Honolulu the condition of affairs
has not changed since the Australia,

Pacific squadron, on board, has juat ar
rived.
Governor Clegborn, father-in-law ol
the queen and father of Princess Kiau
lani, was seen. He bad little to Bay re
garding his relations with the queen,
but said he had been informed that a
dosument had been drawn up in which
Liliuokalani agreed, if failing in her
efforts to induce the United States gov
ernment to restore her to power, to ac
cept Princess Kaiulani aB her auccesaor.
The government, he said, had sufficient
power to quell any revolution, had it
not been for tbe landing of troops from
the United States ship Boston, under in
structions from United States Minister
Stevens.
The American flag over the govern
ment building was raised a week ago
Wednesday by the provisional govern
ment and Minister Stevens, aa the aup
portera of that government are not fully
organized, and it was deemed best that
Borne representative of American pro
tection be made. The flag was saluted
by the Boston's guns. President Dole
of the provieional government boarded
tbe Boston two daya later, and waa re
ceived with a eaiute of 21 guna. The
flag was raised at noon, about an hour
before the departure of Prince David
and Paul Neumann on the Australia.
Martial law haa been raieed, bnt ma
rinea from the Boston are still guarding
tbe government building.
United Stateß Minister Stevens greet
ed the Associated Press representative
cordially, but aaid hia official position
prevented him from discussing the situ
ation. There bad been no disturbance
and he was well aatisfied with the con
duct oi the natives.
President Dole alao stated that mat
ters were progresaing aatiafactorily with
tbe new government and that no excite
ment or demonstration of any kind had
occurred. According to hia view, the
English business interests of the islands
preferred that Kaiulani should rale,
but they would not object to an Ameri
can protectorate back ol her, Ths
