The Indicator. BESSEMER, - COLORADO. Christian missionaries in foreign lands are said to experience mure trouble ia their attempts to convert Mohammedans than they encounter with any other class of people. From time to time the suicidal jroed and blindness which charac terize us in our treatment uf our timber growths is mado the occasion of protest on behAlf of one or other enlightened agency. But tlio protest passes by unheeded, ami our forests continue to disappear steadily before thAdvauce of the lumber monopolists and tho forest fire. Wyoming has a large batch of in dieted citizens and lacks the ma chinery to try them. Everybody seems so llxod in the belief that to kill suspected cattle thieves is proper, or that tho big cattle men should be hanged on general principles, that twelve unbiased citizens cannot be secured for a jury, and justice can only wring her hands until tho knuckles crack. Tom Cole, a white man who killed a man at Birmingham. Ala., übout two weeks ago, eluded a close search by tho aid of a clever disguise. lie wore a wig of wool, stained his face and hands and mado himself up as a negro. Ho remained in the vicinity of where the crime was committed, though detectives were searching the neighborhood for him. lie was final ly captured at a hotel whore lie was living as a negro. The unmarried men of the German capital lately formed the idea of having a bachelors' club, but the terrors of social vengoanco overtook tho committee.

Tub very pretty light that has been going on between the I’acilic mail company and the Frenchmen who now control tho Panama railroad has re sulted so far disastrously for the Hauls. It is claimed to bo due to the machinations of the steamship people that the canal company failed to get extension of its concession from the Colombian government, and now the railroad is to be squeezed without mercy by its successful foe. There is no doubt that the night was meant for sleep, and that the longer one sits up and the faster the pace in the waning hours tho harder will it be, as King Henry discovered, lo put tho night to its legitimate use. True there i- a good deal of fun in sitting up. but just as much fun could bo had in tho twenty-four hours if the votaries of amusement would begin earlier. The tendency is to stretch the day at the wrong end.

The West is proud of the enter prise, the culture, the beauty and tho progress of the Kust.

Queen I.tiinukallna Isepo***! auil the !•- la«<4rr« A.k to be Aum-xetl to tlio (lilted State*, The Hawaiian steamer Clau line arrived m San Francisco at 2 o’clock Salwrda;. morning with the new* of a revolution at Honolulu. The revolutionists have succeeded in over throwing the government of lias-all and the United States troops have been landed. A provisional government has been established and a commission headed by Mr. Thurston came In on the t'landls? t;i route to Washing toil with a petition lo the American goveru n m '■ tho Hm lin Islands to the *- nlted States. Queen I.llioukalanl has been deposed from (tower, monarchy abrogated aud government buildings seised and a new provisional ministry composed of four mem bers Is sustained by bayonets of volunteers. The events which led up to this situation commenced hume-Mitely before the departure of the steamship Mariposa for San Francisco on January 11, by the passage of a bill which gave a concession for the establishment of a lottery in the kingdom, a franchise being granted to six people ou a promise of an an nual payment of a half million dollars. This measure the ministers would not support and the proposition had the vote of only one white man, the twenty-live votes necessary to carry it being contributed entirely by natives and half castes. 1 his act was followed In the afternoon of July 12, after the departure of the Mariposa, by springing a vote of want of confidence in the mlulstry and which, after but Mule argu ment, was passed by a vote t) f S>. the exact number necosary. The defeated miuUters had the confidence of the public and of capi talists and the business community generally, und as the prorogation uf parliament had been set for January 12 by the queen herself, their tenure or office was expected to run un til the end of 1803. Considerable excitement then followed among the white residents in the islands, which was heighteued on January lit by the appointment of a ministry in which there was no confidence, and by the fact that the queen, on the morning of the 12th, signed the The climax wm reached on Januarv 15 by the queen attempting to promulgate a new constitution guaranteeing to her absolute authority. Iti which act her new m.inlsiry de clined to indorse her Tile queen made her appeals almost entirely to the native and half caste to sustain her. She declared to them that her ministers would not obey her com mands. f>n ibe afternoon of January If. nearly 4.000 natives assembled on Palhto square n supporters of the queen. <»n the platform were A.

PRESIDENT’S PROCLAMATION. Publicly Announces Mr. Illulnc’s Death and Calls Attention to Ills Public Servlera. The President Issued the following procla mation: Executive Mansion, 1 Washington, Jan. ”7, 1803. f It Is my painful duty to announce to the people of the I Tilted States the death of James Gillespie Blaine, which occurred in this city to-day at 11 o'clock. For a full generation this eminent citizen has occupied a conspicuous and Influential position Irl the nation. His first public ser vice was In the legislature of Ills stale. Af terward* for fourteen years he was a member of the national House of Representatives, and was three times chosen speaker. In 187 dhe was elected to tin* Senate. He resigned his seat In that body In 1881 to accept the poslj tlon of secretary of state in the cabinet of President Garfield. After the tragic death of his chief he resigned from the cabinet, and devoting himself to literary work, gave to tlic public In bl* - Twenty Year* in Congress, 1 ' a most valuable and enduring contribution to our political literature. In March, ISsy, ho again became secretary of state, and contin ued to exercise this office until June, 18P2. Ills devotion to the public Interests; Ida remarkable ability and Ids exalted patriotism have won for him the gratitude and affection of his countrymen, and admiration of the world. In the various pursuits of legislation, diplo macy ami literature, his genius has added new lustre to American citizenship. A* a suitable expression of the national ap preciation of Ids great public services, and of the great public sorrow caused by Id* death, I direct that on the day of lit* funeral alt the departments of the executive branch of the government nt Washington he closed, and that on all public buildings throughout the I’nlted States tlie national flag Shall be dis played nt half staff, and Hint, for a period of thirty days the department of state be draped in mourning.

Sr. Loris,Mo., Jan.29—There are more conventions held in St. Louis in a year than there arc held in any other city in flic country, This Is the result of the central positioh of the city I its excel lent railway facilities, and the reputa tion it lias nlade nt times of national political conventions, Knights Temp lars* conclaves and Grand Army en campments for comfortably taking caic of big cfdWdi. Tbs hotel men do not raise their here, not ftlake three 6leep in a bed when the town finds it has to provide for a hundred thousand people. The nationul con vention of the Knights of Labor was the largest gathering ot the kind that has been held here this year. Several moro are coming. The builders are making arrangements to entertaifi their National convention, which meets here next month add will bring about five thousand men to the citj- who are interested financially in the trades concerned with building, the National Association of Electri cians will be here after that, drawn here by the city's leading position with respect to electrical interests; and still later, the National Association of Ger man Veterans will hold their reunion here. All of these associations will be accommodated by the hotels now open. Three great hotels are being built, but hone of them will be finished till the fall. The German citizens of St. lajuis nro going to make this an exceptional year in the way of celebrations. There* are two score singing societies here, and nearly thirty of them will go to the National Saengerfcst at Cleveland, taking over five thousand members with them. These h'aengcrfests de pend largely on the SL Louis contin gent for their success, as the choruses from here are all well drilled and am bitious. At the beginning of fall, just before tlie festivities of the city commence, German Day will be cele brated by a great national show of processions and music. This patriotic celebration is generally one of the most attractive sights of the year in St. Louis. It is carried out without regard to expense, and the street pegennt is a sneetndc excelled only by that of the Veiled Prophet There is a railway switchman here who five j'enrs ago was at work in the yards of the Missouri Pacific, making a bare living. The great Southwestern strike came, mid ho struck with the rest of the men. While the strike lasted he spent most of his time In his room, inventing a device to close the frog of a switch so that.men could not catch their feet in it. When the strike was over ho went around trying to sell his invention to railvays. but none of them would try it. He was discouraged, wl#n two years ago the Missouri Legislature passed a law compelling all railways to pre teet the lives of their emplo3’es by guarding the frogs iu some way. A market for the switchman's invention was opened atoncc. He is now living in a house that could be sold for 820,000 any day, and last Sunday he was driving in the parks, with the rest of the gay crowd, behind two horses that went by every body else on the boulevard with ease.
