2 TROUBLE IN THE ISLANDS Senator Hale Declares Himself in the Thurston Matter NO EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION Hoped Nothing Would Occur to Strain Relations With Dote The Demvnd for the Recall of the Minister Is an Unwarranted and Also an Unprecedented One WASHINGTON, March 20. — Develop ments- regardtng Ihe row between Secre tary Gresham ami Minister Thurston shows that, when Gresham became con vinced that the Hawaiian representative had been talking to newspaper men he became very angry. Later Secretary Gresham sent for Minister Thurston. He took Thurston into a pri vate room, and in a white rage accused bim of giving official information to American newspapers before communi cating it to the department. Secretary Gresham says the Hawaiian Minister ad mitted his act had been "undiplomatic.'' The entry of the Occurrence on the Slate Department records state the fact and it is important, as the records wiil form the official history of the occurrence. Minis ter Tuurstou today declined to say. whether lie admitted it was "undiplo matic." It was a remarkable admission for him to make, if he did, under the spell of Secretary Gresham's sweat box. Old diplomats'say that such an admis sion from a diplomat would forever dis qualify him for future service in his cho sen lielti and cover him with everlasting disgrace. The records of the State Department show that the Hawaiian Minister admitted he bad been guilty of an undiplomatic act but that be declined to comply with Secretary Gresham's request to put the fact in writing. This brings Thurston's case on all fours with the celebrated Catacasey, Which caused so much comment during the ad ministration of President Grant. Cata casey was the Russian Minister here and it had been clearly shown by tho testi mony of the newspapei men concerned that" he furnished the substance _ for articles published in the New York World attacking the foreign policy of the admin istration and criticising bitterly the atti tude of the United States toward Russia, then involved in a serious dispute with Great Britain. Th* Minister specifi cally denied the responsibility for the publication although it was undoubtedly brought home to him and shown "that he had revised the manu script before it was printed. Thero were other grievances against the minister glowing out of allegations of immorality and improper conduct towards the Per kins claim then pending, although those matters wete not made grounds of official complaint. On June lii Secretary Fish, by the direction of President <lrant, directed our minister to Russia tb inform the Russian government that the conduct of Mr. Catacascy both officially and per sonally have been for some time past such as to impair hisfusefulneßS to this govern ment and render intercourse either for 1 ashless or social purposes disagreeable. Lnder these circumstances tiio interest? of both countries would be promoted and relations displayed on a surer footing if the Russian legation here was to be changed. Latest mail from Honolulu has arrived. Mitll iter Thurston declined to state whether it contained anything bearing on the request of Secretary Gresham for Mr. Thurston's recall. The Minister main tains the absolute silence on the subject that he has since tiie report first appeared. The legation office is open to callers, how ever, and the usual business proceeds briskly between Minister Thurston and "dr. Hastings, secretary of the legation, 'i he*moment the recall is mentioned, Mr. Thurston aud his assistant lapse into silence. It is believed from the fact that the communication relating to Minister Thurston was sent February 21st., that there has been ample time for a reply from the Hawaiian Government in the mail iust received. Secretary Gresham's note reached San Francisco in time to catch a boat which would arrive at Honolulu about the last of February. Since then several steamers have left Honolulu, the last one reaching San Francisco and Vancouver respectively, about a week ago. They brought the official mail, which has now arrived at the legation. It is known that it contains a long com munication from Mr. Hatch, the Hawai ian Minister of Foreign Affairs, as Mr. Hastings received a brief message saying that such a communication was on its way. if the Hawaiian Government has replied, Mr. Thurston would be the natu ral and only channel of communication to the State Department, as he remains the official representative of Hawaii until his recall is actually accomplished. That Secretary Gresham asked for Mr. Thurs ton's recall there is no longer any doubt, though the manner in which it was put is not yet known. It is supposed the Hawaiian Government will communicate with its minister and seek his version of the circumstances before acceding to Secretary Gresham's request, which In a measure implies a personal affront to the individual under the circumstances. The Communication from Hawaii, li it refers to the recall, as is thought extremely likely, may be a short reply to Gresham's request. Further developments, there fore, will be watched with gn at interest, especially the answer of Hawaii as a de clination to accede to Secretary Gresham's request doubtless would be lollowed by Minister Thurston being given his pass ports, an act equal to tfie severance of diplomatic relations. In connection With the later Hawaiian developments, criticism is made by mem bers of Congress still in tbe city of the failure of the Secretary of State tb trans mit information of his act to Congress prior to its adjournment March 4th. The request for Mr. Thurston's recall was dispatched prior to February 21st. Congress had been informed officially that the Government would keep it posted on Hawaiian affairs, and that it would lie supplied with the correspondence relating thereto. Notwithstanding this, the Congressmen say that no Senator Hale of Maine was among the most zealous defenders of the Hawaiian republic on the Hooi of the senate, but he does not support Mr. Thurston in the mattei of the minister's reported recall at Secretary Gresham on the "I have no inside or exclusive informa tion, he said in discussing the matter today, "but the published reports say that Mr. I Illusion., recall has been asked be cause ho made public diplomatic corres pondence before submitting it to the Sec retary, If this Is correct be was clearly in Tbe wrong ami could not expect that the Secretary would do otherwise than ask for Ins recall. ll was dually a breach of official etiquette and is a practice which •bis country cannot afford to encourage. 1 here might be limes wben such a course would lead to serious consequences, and if matters of international importance §f toMTn' 0 t verolients t ' ia repr i eßentatlves senate, but that fact, iiit bed fact, should cut no figure. Thu State Department could ask nothing of Mr. Thurston except courtous treatment at his hands in his official dealings with the department. It could have no supervision over his in tercourse witii senators." "I had hoped," he continued, "that nothing would happen to strain our rela tions with the Dole government, for I be lieve it is a gooil governruen and that the Hawaiians have a republic which i.s such in fact as well as in name not like the Central American republics, includ ing Mexico, which are nothing but mili tary despotisms." A member of the diplomatic corps, long in the service and well versed in the pro cedure, said: "The hooks do not contain a precedent warranting such a demand for a minis ter's recall because he has made condition of facts which' prevails in his country. In the case of Mr. Thurston, "he was under no obliga tion lo give, to the State Department tne intentions of his Government toward those convicted of rebellion. It was in formation as to facts which had really occurred, and not. of subjects involved in diplomatic negotiations. The precedents are agreed thai a minister should noi com municate willi the press or give opinions on purely diplomatic questions, but he is always at liberty to state conditions of affairs.** "If the Hawaiian Government can put U0 with Minister Willis, I think thisGOV emment might easily overlook such a trivial matter as that which was made an excuse lor Minister Thurston's dis missal," said Senator Frye of Maine. "It looks to me like a very small piece of business. As I understand the matter Mr. Thurston did not give out to the press official communications, but infor mation -which he imparted to the news papers was the summary of the news conveyed to him by private lettrs. "I think Mr. Thurston's famous reply to Blount started the trouble, and ["think Mr. Thurston was absolutely right in that reply to Blount The administration has felt resentful of Mr. Thurston. No other statement other than that asked in this dispatch was given for the request foi the minister'! removal. '"iUie significant point in the Russian case Indicated that it was under no obli gation to make out a case against the offending minister, but it was sufficient to canst' his recall to say that he'was ob jectionable. And so in Mr. Thurston's case, there probably will be no attempt made to connect him with the objection able newspaper publications. It is held to be sufficient that he rests under sus picion which may or may not be well grounded. As to "the outcome there is much doubt, (oa* it alt rests with the Ha waiian Government and depends on whether that Government takes the ground that its . minister has been at tacked because of personal reasons, or whether it may regard the demand for his recall as the rcsult'of the faithful exe cution of official charges confided to his care. 01 course the minister will go in either case, but if the Hawaiian Govern ment takes the latter view it will simply omit to accept another person to succeed him. and in this case, Mr. Willis, our minister to Hawaii, will he obliged to take a loave of absence, just as Mr. Por ter, our minister to Italy, did when Baron I'a.va was recalled as the result of the killing of his fellow-countrymen in New Orleans a few years ago." Notwithstanding reports have been in circulation, it can be stated that no re quest has been made thus far for the re call of Minister Muragua of Spain, but be yond ihis no statement can be made at this time.

Last year, one taction held its meeting in Jamestown, N. V., while the other patty met in Atlantic City, both sides claiming to be tbe legally authorized dele gates to the annual convention. The legal contest is to determine which faction is entitled to tin; books and rec ords of the order, which are now in the hands of the Jamestown faction. At the trial today il, was evident from the start tbat tbe J;<ntestown faction was relying on technicalities lo prevent the Atlantic City party from getting the books. They lirst raised the question Of jurisdiction", and apparently hesitated about attacking the merits of the ease.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNINGr, MARCH 21, 1895; EASY WORK FOR TOM RYAN Tracy, the St. Louis Champion, Badly Whipped NO DECISION RENDERED The Managers Were Fearful of Police Interference Some Hot Exchanges and Warm Work In the Third Round-Downed Three Times In a Round CHICAGO, March 20.—Tommy Ryan of Chicago had an easy job with Tom Tracy of St. Louis tonight. No decision was rendered, chiefly because the managers of the affair were apprehensive of police interference at the Choynski-Creedon tight of tomorrow night if the affair of tonight was carried to the extreme, but for all that Tracy was badly whipped. He was fairly out in the seventh round, but when Referee George Siler had counted seven, and Tracy showed no Sign of rising, Siler was called to one side of the ring and by the time he wae ready to re sume counting the gong sounded and Tracy was saved. Ryan knocked him down three times in "the fifth and the referee might have counted fifteen before Tracy was on his feet, the last time, but he did uot count at all, and when Tracy was helped to his feet "no decision" was announced. The men came into the ring at 10:.'!0. The lirst round was chiefly sparring. Tracy got in three light ones on Ryan's body, and received a hot one in the ribs in return. The second round was all Ryan's, he hitting Tracy repeatedly on the head aud only received one on the body. Tiie third round opened hot, and after several warm exchanges Tracy knocked Ryan to his knees. Ryan was up in an instant and had the best of tiie round after that. In the fourth and fifth rounds Ryan kept his left busy in battering Tracy's head, and the latter acted strictly on the defensive. In the sixth, Tracy's left eye was closed and he bled profusely. Ryan then smashed him on the nose and brought a stream from that organ. Ryan battered Tracy as he pleased, and knocked him down with a vicious left in the face. Tracy was covered with blood as he went to his corner. Ryan after this had it very easy. He knocked Tracy down in the seventh and. but for the length of the delay, the latter would have been out. He was on the floor fully fifteen seconds. In the last round Tracy was knocked into the ropes and when he left them was sent to the floor. He came up after the referee had counted nine and was at once knocked down again. He tottered to his feet and was knocked clearly -out. The "no decision" was announced after he bad been carried to his corner. Tracy was in baa shape at the end. being cov ered with blood from his eye, nose and cheek. Ryan did not have a scratch. After the light Referee Siler said: "In the seventh round when Tracy was on the Moor Parson Davies called some thing to me. He was Ryan's manager and I stepped to one side to hear what lie had to say. He told me to call the con test because *it was becoming too brutal ami in the next round I did so. Tracy bad no earthly show to win and I simply did what Ryan's manager demanded." Ryan was very angry after the right, de claring that he had been robbed of the de cision he had fairly won. Kiirain is Satisfied BALTIMORE, March 20.— Jake Kiirain arrived here today. He appears in excel lent health and* spirits and a slight abrasion on the nose is the only mark he bears of his recent encounter. In speaking of the tight Kiirain said: "I am satisfied with the outcome. It was merely an experiment. 1 wanted to see what I could do. O'Donnell is a clever boxer but I think I could stop him readily." Young (iriffo and Hanley PHILADELPHIA, March 20.—Young Griffo and Jack Hanley fought six lively rounds tonight anil while no decision was given, the contest ended decidedly in favor of Hanley. Griffo was evidently not in the best of "condition, although he put up a good defense. In the last round there were plenty of sharp exchanges, Griffo hitting Hanley three times in suc cession with no returns. The Indian Appropriation Heasure Makes WASHINGTON, March 20.—The Indian oftice under the direction and supervision of Secretary Smith will lind considerable work provided for in the Indian appropria tion bill, which will keep it quite busy during the coming season. Among the other things authorized in the hill is the appointment of a commission to negotiate with the Belknap Indians for the sale to the United States of a portion of the res ervtion in the north central portion of the slate of Montana; also to negotiate witli the Biackfeet Indians for the sale of a portion of their reservation in the northwest portion of the same state. An appropriation of $:i, r iOU has been made for tb is purpose and as the sum is no small it is quite possible that the commission will consist of employees of the Interior Department. Secretary Smith has said to all of the visiting delegations of Indians, no matter from what portion of the coun try they came that if they have no desire to sell tlieir lands the department has no purpose to urge them to do so; he prefers they should keep their lands where they can make use of them. To one delegation he recently said he thought it would be a good thing if they would divide their reservation tracts among themselves in some equitable manner and farm such portions as they could and lease the re mainder to farmers who would pay them a reasonable sum for the privilege. In tbe casf of tbe Belknap and Biackfeet Indians it may be found advantageous to ihe Indians to dispose of a part of their lauds as the area is considered much larger than they can handle judiciously. I'robaby some difficulty will arise when the secretary comes to carry out the por tioti of the law providing for a decrease of twenty per cent in tbe number of con tract schools. He is not allowed to make contracts with more than eighty per cent of the contract schools with which con tract, were made for the present liscal year. To decide just what schools shall be given up will cause some trouble, as all will probably desire to be retained. The secretary is also authorized to nego tiate with the San Carlos Indians for the sale of the coal lands on their reservation in Montana. He will also appoint a com mission for which $10,000 is provided to secure the consent of the Southern Ute Indians and pay the expenses of their removal according to the terms of the law passed at the last, session.

So says the chaplain at San Quentin prison. "Reverend" John Alexander Smith left Sacramento some days ago. He also left a number of unpaid "bills for board and lodging and forgot to repay sundry sn.all loans obtained from members of the Y. M. C. A. Smith was glib of tongue and theatrical in style, ami his work was along the revival lines. Some of those who had been deceived by Smith protested at tirst that the lat ter's intentions were not to bilk people, but that he was a victim of circum stances. But. the following letter received in this city by 1.. Hudson and V. M. Odom.two of his victims, leaves no doubt as to Smith being a fraud: Sau Quentin. March 15. Dear Sir: I noticed an article in the Roe in regard to one calling himself Rev. J. A. Smith, etc. He is uot a reverend, never was, has no credentials, never had, was never a priest, may have been a "hactor" as he calls it (carrying off dead and wounded from the stage); but is an all-round deadbeat, crook and imposter ami served a term in this prison for ob taining money under false pretenses (No. 15,062) and was sent up from Santa Cruz and served from August 22, 1892. to April 22, 1804. He is, moreover, a bigamist, having several wives living, with one of whom I am now corresponding. Of course, you folks are altogether to blame in taking up with a man whom you did not know and without creden tials. It would be a good plan to follow him up and warn people ahead. Infor mation can certainly be obtained from the railroad ottices. etc. Please write me further in regard to him and keep me posted,as 1 would like to learn his where abouts. Yours, A. Drahms, Chaplain State's Prison. The Lynching of Scott OMAHA.

RIOT IN THE CRESCENT CITY Fifteen Indictments Returned by the Grand Jury TROUBLES ON THE LEVEE Twenty-eight Men Are Charged With Committing Murder All the Indictments Contain a Special Clause Leaving Room for Numerous John Does and Richard Roes NEW ORLEANS, March 20.-The firand Jury came into the Criminal Court this afternoon. After the usual formalities the foreman presented fifteen indictments, charging twenty-eight men with the mur der committed on last Tuesday morning in the levee troubles. True bills charging murder were presented against the fol lowing parties: (ieorge, alias Whisky Doyle, Henry Haddy, John Murphy, W. Uithe, J. D. Williams, Thomas Ryan, John i'rondcrgast, William Nelson, Dave Williams, James, alias "Red" Uawkins, Thomas, alias "Stuttering" Fay, Jim Fay, Robert Kehoe, Nelson, alias "Meyer" Lightly, Joe Casey. James O liricn, Mar tin Owens, Ed McCue, for the murder of John Payne; Tony Dowd, Phil Quarts and Tom Prendcrgast, for the murder of Henry ..lames; same for the murder of Morris Mitchell; same for the murder of Ed Lopez; same for the murder of Leon ard Mallard.

William Gallaire, Dave Burke and John, alias "Red," Cutlen. for tho murder of John Payne. John Kurncss, alias "Dago," Tom Dev lin, alias "Tom the Devil,' and Jack Reed, for the murder of John Payne. These men were all arrested at various times during the troubles and committed for trial by the police justice. All of the indictments contain the clause "and other persons whose names are as yet unknown to the grand jury, being workmen and laborers in the occu pation of rolling, placing and stowing compressed cotton on .board of vessels at the port of New Orleans." Most of the men inflicted have been un der surveillance for several days and it was an easy matter to locate them as soon as the capiases were issued. The diffi culties which beset the governor in hand ling the troubles havo ocen further com plicated by a strong intimation from the merchants that no further funds will be conributed by them for the Support of the troops. They assert that more decided action shoud have been adopted in deal ing with the rioters and that the trouble should have been finally quieted some days ago. The governor is in consulta tion with his advisers striving to find some means to provide for the support of the troops, the state militia fund being altogether Inadequate for that purpose. THE WOOL TRADE Reported Strength of the H.rket Abroad Does INot Affect This Side BOSTON, March 20.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to morrow of the wool trade: The reported strength of the market abroad has not yet been reflected in any appreciable way here. Prices, though not ijuotably higher certainly are stead ier, and although trade has ruled very quiet; manufacturers have found it impos sible to obtain concessions in value from those current a week ago. Wool is low in comparison with other staple articles and it is lower here than anywhere else. Stocks of domestic wool here are not large, and yet there appears to be enough to meet the demand, which in itself is not urgent. The business of the past week has been of a retail character, very few good lots having been moved. The aggregate of transactions, in fact, is even less than that of the past week. Holders of wool are in some quarters quite tirm iv their views, and a case is cited where a manufacturer came into the market and made some offers, none of which were accepted by the dealers. It was believed even by those who had been looking for a further decline in values that wool has got to a point where the bottom can be felt and that any further change in val ues will be upward rather than down ward in direction. THE WHISKEY TRUST An Important Case Decided by the lllionols CHICAGO, March 20.—Tho United States Circuit Court of Appeals handed down several decisions today. The most important case decided was that of the appeal of the Whisky Trust from a decis ion of Judge Grosscup giving Gottschalk & Co.. agents of the trust, a judgment for $.'37,112. The company sued in the lower court to recover that amount in re bates, whch it is claimed the trust refused to pay on the ground that the agents had bandied other spirits than those manu factured by the trust. tfx. A Granddaughter Discovered SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.—The Ex aminer announces the discovery of a granddaughter of James G. Fair, who may play an Important part in the litiga tion over the late millionaire's estate. The child is about 6 years old and is the daughter of James Fair, the ex-Senator's oldest son and Mary Ellen l.anipmann, who, it is asserted, was probably married to young Fair iv 1888. The child was left at an orphan asylum on Golden Gate avenue and was adopted by Mrs. Charles Gregory. She says the child- is undoubt edly the daughter of young James Fair and Miss Laiupmann. As both parents are now dead, she Is averse to having the child dragged Into the Fair case. Mrs. Gregory says although Miss Lampmann never bore Fair's name, she was un doubtedly married to him secretly. It is believed that the knowledge that this child was in existenco impelled the ex-Senator to insert in his will a provis ion relative to the claims of illegitimate children, or legitimate but not recog nized children of his sons. No Decrease in Pensions WASHINGTON, March LiO.—Commis sioner of Pensions Lochron estimates that there will not be any decrease in tho amount appropriated for pensions during the next three years after lWJb', The amount appropriated for the fiscal year of 181X1 in round numbers is 1140,000,T00. For the present year the amount was $150, --000,000. The reason for the nbsonee of any perceptible decrease is that the falling off owing to deaths and other causes is about counterbalanced by hist payments in pensions allowed. After three years, when it is expected the majority of claims wi'l be adjudicated and there will be few remaining tirst payments, Commissioner Lochren expects there will be a rapid fall ing off in pensions, t3C Wedded by a Women CINCINNATI.

A YACHT OVE RTURNED Capsize of a Vesse, ■«-■« ..lany Lives Were Lost NKW YORK, March 20.- The Yachtsman of London, of March 7th, contains an ac count of the capsizing of a yacht in Swan RiVSr, Perth, West Australia, on March 4th.
