HAWAII CLASSED
AS A CONQUEST
Customs Put in Charge
of the Military.
Bpecln.l Dispatch to The Otll.
PORT TOWXSEND, Oct. 30.— According j
to advices brought from Honolulu by the j
Steamship Elihu Thompson, arriving here *
this evening, residents of the Hawaiian
Islands are in a state of great excitement
over the receipt of a letter from As- ;
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Frank ,
Vanderlip, stating that the customs de
partment of the Hawaiian Islands was
under the control of the War Department.
The letter was in reply to an application !
for a position In the customs service by
a resident of Honolulu.
It is claimed this Is the first intimation
the authorities on the island have received
that the customs department has been
transferred to the military, and \vhen
shown the letter Harold M. SewaJl, special
agent of the United States Government,
and other Government representatives
expressed a belief that Secretary Van
cierlip had got the Hawaiian Islands con
fused with Porto Kico, Cuba and other
conquered territory.
Major Mills, in command of two bat
talions of the Sixth Artillery, stationed
at Honolulu, disclaims any knowledge of
the now regime.
In relation to the foregoing a rumor is
In circulation in Honolulu that the present
officers of the local government will be
removed by President McKtnley and new
appointments made immediately, but both
I'resident Dole and Special Agent Sewall
deny having any knowledge of a con
templated change.
The Hawaiian Islands are having
trouble relative to the influx of Chinese.
Many are seeking admittance to the
United States via Honolulu. During the
past month twenty-four arriving on the
I'oyo Maru were rejected. All had affi
davits setting forth their right to land.
The vessel is strongly guarded and the
authorities will see that the Chinese re
turn to Yokohama.
The ship Sir George Curtis and bark S.
C. Allen, both from San Francisco, ar
rived at Honolulu on October 18. They
left San Francisco on October 8, on a
race, and arrived within a few hours of
tach other. On the evening of the first i
day out a cabin boy of the Curtis named
Fred Gieseke was washed overboard and
drowned. The vessel was making thirteen
knots an hour and darkness had set in,
6o no assistance could be rendered.
Honolulu is on the eve of a coal fam
ine, caused by the largo number of trans- !
ports calling, -which have made serious I
Inroads on the supply of army coal, and
Colonel Ruhlen has been compelled to
borrow 2000 tons from the navy to supply
the last transports sailing for Manila.
The navy coal Is nearly exhausted and
the commercial supply is so nearly de
pleted that if some of the expected coal
fleet do not appear within a short time
come of the sugar mills will have to close,
as ell as other factories. Several ves
sels with coal are daily expected, among
them being the bark Noody, 173 days out
from Norfolk, and from which no tidings
have been received since she started on
her voyage.

FRANCHISE
IS GRANTED
Electric Line From San
Jose to Alviso.
Biwctal Dispatch to The C*.IL
SAN JOSE, Oct. 80.— The Board of Su
pervisors this morning granted A. oreen
lnger a franchise for an ©lectrlo road on
First street and the Alviso road to Alvl
-80. The price paid was JSO. It gives him
the easterly twelve feet of the road from
the northerly city limits. Work is to com
mence within six months and shall be
completed in eighteen months. This la
the franchise that was laid over by the
Board of Supervisors last Wednesday at
the request of ex-Boss Rea. who Is sup
posed to have been working In the Inter
ests of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The
vote to-day was not unanimous. Supervis
ors George E. Rea and F. L. Cottle op
posing the franchise. Those voting for it
were Supervisors Austin, Roll and Stem.
The efforts of business men are supposed
to have brought about the change, as last
Wednesday Supervisor Roll was the only
one in favor of granting the franchise.
The building of the road to connect Al
viso and San Jose Is but the beginning
of a large electric railway system. With
the improvements the Government Is
about to make at Alviso this will give San
Jose a good water route with all coast
points and a reduction in freights and
fares,
A proposition is also on foot to build
an electric road to Los Gatos by way of
Campbell and also to convert the Alum
Rock motor road into an electric line.

dents in this locality recently, but the
one to-night is the most severe of any.
One of the trainhands had a narrow es

The Sacred Duty of Every Republican.
It is the sacred duty of every Republican to give his loyal sup-
port to his party nominees in this campaign and to cast his ballot
for them on November 7. Unusual conditions prevail which mean
that defeat now will work future disaster to our party. Granting
everything that has been said in behalf of the Democratic nominee
for Mayor, it still remains for Republicans to vote for Horace '
Davis. No better man than he could have been chosen for the office.
Ripe in - commercial and political experience, of sterling integrity,
Horace Davis will give to San. Francisco an ideal administration.
He is progressive, has intimate knowledge of the needs of the city
and the executive ability in a marked degree to take charge of pro-
jected public improvements and successfully execute them, being in
every way peculiarly qualified for the position. Republicans have
only to stop and consider the vital importance to our party of this
election to give Horace Davis and his associates on the Repub-
lican municipal ticket their stanch support.

The Qualities of Horace Davis!
With Horace Davis at the head of the Republican municipal
ticket there can be not the slightest excuse for any loyal citizen to
refuse it his ardent support. Mr. Davis, above all others, is qualified
to fill the office of Mayor. A resident of this city for a third of a cen-
tury, he has been closely identified with its commercial, educational
and political interests. His has been a model life in every respect.
He has honored the community by accepting this nomination; the

people will consider it an honor to elect him. Unusual conditions

must not be repudiated. A vote for Horace Davis means an in-
dorsement of the administration of President William McKinley.
Further, I consider the personal attack on Mr. Davis by one •of our
oldest dailies an outrage which the proprietors know to be false, and

ENGAGE IN A REVOLT
Befuse to Wait for Meals While Their
Officers Take Precedence at
The Tables.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. SO.— A dis
patch to the Times from a staff corre
spondent traveling eastward with the
Twentieth Kansas Regiment states that
a large number of the former privates of
the regiment have revolted against their
former superior officers and registered an
emphatic declaration of Independence and
equality. The revolt came at Barstow,
Cal., where the regiment arrived for
breakfast at 10 o'clock In the morning.
The men, who were hungry as wolves,
found the eating-house doors barred and
were told that they would have to wait
for breakfast. Upon entering the tele
graph office one of the privates learned
that thirty-five breakfasts had been or
dered In advance for the officers and an
other private who peered through a rear
window found the men who wore shoul
der straps already seated at tables eating.
Immediately there was an assault upon
the eating-house. Doors were broken In
and the regiment swarmed through the
hall. When Colonel Metcalf attempted
to quiet the men he met with a storm
of abuse and several of the more ob
streperous "citizens" threatened to do
him bodily injury. The men were finally
quieted by the bringing in of their break
fast. After it was all over Colonel Met
calf went among the men and told them
that if there were to bo any more second
tables the officers would wait until the
last.

BEATEN TO DEATH
WITH A CLUB
Groceryman Kills a Man
in His Yard.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
FRESNO, Oct. 30.— A duel to death with
clubs as weapons took place between N.
Johnson and a man named Dan Folkener
about 8 o'clock this evening. As a result
of the fight Folkener iies at the Morgue a
corpse, and Johnson Is charged with mur
der.
Johnson is a well known groceryman in
this city. Just before the tragedy was
enacted the groceryman went out to wa
ter his horse and entered the stable. As
he did so he noticed his dog growling near
the entrance to the woodshed adjoining.
Looking In he discovered Folkener, who
was slightly under the influence of liquor.
Johnson ordered him out, but he seemed
reluctant to go, and the groceryman, be
coming angry, tried to force him out. The
i men grappled with each other. Near the
I door was a pile of sticks. Johnson
i grabbed one of these and Folkener an
: other. The first blow was struck by Fol
kener, so Johnson claims. At any rate
the men hammered each other and scuf
fled until they reached the yard outside.
After reaching a point about fifty feet
from where the fight first began Johnson,
i according to his own story, dean, his an-
I tagonist a blow in the back of the head,
I which felled him. At this point a neigh
bor rushed up and went to the rescue of
the man on the ground. "Don't touch
him," said Johnson, "ne'U get up and
light again."
An examination of the wounded man,
however, revealed the fact that his neck
was broken and he was already dead.
Few marks were visible on his face.
Johnson was arrested and subsequently
released on SfiOOO ball.
The dead man comes of a good family,
! well known in Fresno and he always bore
I a good reputation.

"Betwixt Bud and Bloom.'
The sufferings of the young, the ten-
der and th© inexperienced always ex-
cite sorrowful compassion and a yearn-
ing desire to help them in their trou-
bles.
And in the light of a great discov-
ery all the rose buds of sweet woman-
hood may see the promise of their
speedy release from all those suffer-
ings which have been the bane of their
sex from, the earliest times.
They need only take that greatest of
modern medicines, Warner's Safe Cure,
as directed, and their past sufferings
will soon appear to them as a painful
dream from which they have awak-
ened to dream no more. "It is a rem-
edy," says Mrs. H. P. G. Carnes of But-
ler, Pa., "that can be relied upon, a
remedy that never fails, and one that
has proved to be woman's best friend."
