CHOLERA STAMPED OUT,
Eut it Nearly Broke the Hawaiian Govern
ment tojDo It.
Honolulu, Oct. 17.. via San Francisco.
—(Correspondence of the United Press,
per Steamship Mariposa.)—It Is twenty
nine days since the cholera epidemic
ended, and fifteen days since the last oe-.e
of three later scattering cases. Nearly
every restriction caused by the pestilence
has been removed by the board of health.
A few slight precautions are still con
tinued for a few days longer. Bathing
and fishing In the harbor and in Kuanu
streams are still prohibited, as some
doubts are felt whether any germs may
not linger there. While the seamen of
the coasters are again allowed the free
dom of the shore in Honolulu they are
not to go inland at the outer ports, in
deference to the fears of residents there.
Second-class passengers who have their
clothing fumigated, there being a possi
bility of Infection in native clothing.
Scholars are now free to attend the
schools.
The council has appropriated $25,000
more for the expenses of pestilence, mak
ing $60,000 in all. This will cover the
cost of a fumigating plant yet to arrive.
This, with the cost of the Insurrection,
makes necessary $200,000 extra expense
this year, and somewhat cramps the
public finances.
Henry Smith, clerk of the supreme
court, has been commissioned from Vic
toria, B. C., to take testimony in the fa
mous case of Cranston and Mullen two
men deported lest Fehjuaiw from Hono
lulu and Victoria.' Thd Ifil-t Is against
the steamship Warrlmo, but the Ha
waiian government is the responsible de
fendant. They claim $50,000 damages.
Thei United States cruiser Olympia lies in
the outer roads. The United States gun
boat Bennington lies near the Olympia..
All are well on board both ships.
Much excitement prevails among the
Japanese of Honolulu about the expected
arrival of a Japanese cruiser bringing a
new consul-general. These Japanese
have held a public meeting to denounce
the Hawaiian government for having
prevented the steamship China, as they
allege, from bringing a mall from Yoko
hama in order to discourage Japanese
trade here, which is absurd.
The Mariposa takes freight, malls and
passengers without sanitary precautions.

Senator Butler’s Proposition.
Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 24.—Senator Ma
rion Butler in an Interview here today
said regarding the organization of the
senate that he favors the coming together
of the silver men and taking charge of
every senate committee, and that the ad
herents to a gold standard can only con
trol the senate by the aid of the men who
profess silver. Senator Butler says it
Is of the utmost Importance for silver
men to organize the senate and thus con
trol committees, for unless this Is done
no silver bill will be reported. The sena
tor is Impelled to take this view of or
ganization and he considers that Senator
Sherman has made a declaration in favor
of the organization of the senate of advo
cates of a single gold standard.

BOLTING DEMOCRATS B
Have a Ratification Meeting With Mr. Fairchild
as the Principal Speaker—The Fu
sion Ticket Indorsed.
New York, Oct. 24.—The first big rati
fication meeting of the New York state
democracy during the present campaign
was held tonight in the hall of Cooper
Union. The meeting was held to indorse
the fusion ticket. The hall was well fill
ed and the greatest enthusiasm was dis
played. Albert Stickney, who acted as
chairman, in a brief speech, said that
the state democracy had been obliged to
join hands with their friends, the enemy,
in this campaign, to bring about the
overthrow of Tammany Hall. He en
treated the members of state democracy
to oppose all machine politics.
Resolutions were taken and adopted in
dorsing the administration of President
Cleveland; the nominations of state offi
cers by the Syracuse democratic conven
tion and the candidates on the ticket
nominated by the New York state de
mocracy at its county convention. On
the excise question, the resolution de
clared that the state democracy will en
deavor to secure such modifications of
existing laws as will enable this city to
determine for itself by popular vote
whether the sale of beverages, food and
other necessaries shall be permitted on
Sunday during such hours and under
such restrictions as will not interfere
with religious observance and exercise.
Charles 8. Fairchild was then intro
duced. He was loudly cheered. He made
an eloquent .address and spoke in part as
follows:
We have a double duty to perform to
night; as democrats to indorse the state
ticket and as citizens to indorse the local
fusion ticket. We can heartily support
the democratic state ticket, for the can
didates named on it are good democrats
and good men, and if elected will be faith
ful public servants. Its success will show
the country that with a good candidate
standing upon a platform soundly demo
cratic. both as to the tariff and the cur
rency, democracy can again elect the
president. Once more we are arrayed
upon our platform of non-partisanship
in local matters and a business adminis
tration of a corporation conducted on
strictly business methods, and above all
w'e are standing shoulder to shoulder
with good men of ail parties to maintain
the freedom of equal rights under the
law' ofl each and all of us. Should we not
succeed this year the downward course
will have only begun, as I believe, and
in 1807, with the complete return of Tam
many to power, the people of this city
will cower under far worse oppression
and wrong than they did before this rev
olution of last year.
A letter was then read from Ex-Mayor
William R. Grace indorsing the fusion
ticket and its platform.
The other speakers were Charles J.
Patterson of Brooklyn and James B.
Yerne of this city. After the reading of
letters of regret for absence from mem
bers of the party, the meeting adjourned.

RU8STA-CHINE3E TREATY.
Russia Gets the Privilege of Anchoraze at
Port Arthur.
London, Oct. 24—The Times tomorrow
will publish a dispatch from its Hong
Kong correspondent, who says that he
learns from thoroughly trustworthy au
thority that a treaty was recently con
cluded by China and Russia by the pro
visions of which Russia obtains the right
of anchorage for her fleet at Port Arthur;
the right to construct and work under
Russian management the Noltchinsk and
Tsitsihlar Vladisostock and Tsltsihiar
and Port Arthur railways, and other
commercial advantages to which the
most favored clause in other treaties is
not applicable. China, however, reserves
the right to purchase the railways after
twenty years at a price to be settled upon
hereafter.
The Times remarks editorially upon
the startling character of the dispatch
and says it expects an official denial will
be made, but hints that such a denial may
be ignored. Russia, it adds, cannot pos
sibly Imagine that the other great powers
will view with indifference an enterprise
which would constitute the destruction
of the existing balance of power and
which is almost unparalleled in its au
daciousness. Russia Is well aware that
the magnitude of the changes in the
movement, now reported are such that
she could not carry them out unless she
had definitely resolved to abandon the
pacific policy of the last reign and plunge
into vast and dangerous activities.

Quarrelling Over an Ialand.
San Francisco, Oct. 24, Correspondence
of the United Press per steamer Mari

If the country, as it has grown s' ong,

ashamed of it, it is time that we put in
form some other policy. At present we
seem to have none at all.—Petersburg
Index-Appeal. Dem.
Warner Miller Is a good deal of a sur
prise to some of the politicians, because,
after having put a plank in a platform
he actually undertakes to stand on it.—
Washington Star, Ind.
Harper's Weekly says: "Whoever ab
hors bossism must not be afraid of Inde
pendence.” Thlg is a wise admonition.
The political \if>ss Ras no respect for po
litical independence. He believes in the
free and remorseless use of the party
whip. He maintains his power by hav
ing men vote with the party, right or
wrong, and having them vote for the can
didate labeled by the party managers,
without regard for the personal fitness of
those candidates. The policy of political
bossism is to condemn independence of
action in elections on all occasions.
Whoever opposes bossism must some
times become independent of the party
dictation, for, without the exercise at
times of political independence upon the
part of many members of a party, the
bosses will perpetuate their control.—
Nashville Banner, Dem.
According to the Atlanta Journal, Ed

come as great a staple as cotton seed;
that the oil of the peanut had been of
great commercial value in the oriental
nations, and would be in the United
States. He reviewed the difficulties at
tending the Introduction of cotton seed
oil at a stple of food, and Illustrated it by
the following: "When cotton seed oil
was under the ban of popular prejudice
and the law as well, a Chicago lard
maker shipped some lard ‘adulterated’
with cotton seed oil to Europe. It was
pronounced excellent lard. It was liked
so well that he received a great order for
10,000 tierces. But at this juncture he
could get no oil and was forced to ship
the pure lard. The consignee pi onounced
It ‘off sample,’ wouldn’t have it, and the
unfortunate Chicago man lost a large
sum of money.”

QUEEH BANKING

We had hade our way through a crowd

•lumber. Armed with this, my friend
'made his way to another gulchet, behind
which stood not a clerk, but an ordinary
porter wearing the livery of the bank.
This porter had his hands full of similar
metal disks. After a weary faltlng he
called out the number—say 302—on my
friend’s disk.
Then my friend advanced. Identified hla
check by another number obtained at the
first gulchet and then received his money,
not In the currency or form which he
wished for, but In such shape as the por
ter had at hand to dispense from the au
thority above him. Then some of the
notes being only locally negotiable, my
friend had to go to a third gulchet to see
If they could be changed into negotiable
notes. On occasions this Is Impossible,
and the unfortunate holder of the check
has either to leave part of the money he
has come for until a favorable opportu
nity or accept what he can get on the
chance of paying It away or getting It
changed, or both, with some of his trades
people. Beyond this there is no clearing
house system; each bank makes a charge!
for cashing a check on another bank,
and these charges practically swallow up
the tiny amount of Interst nominally al
lowed on a constant balance And this
Is how the dally routine of banking is
conducted In the first bank of Marseilles.
