Seattle, July 5. —J. W. Branan, an
employe of the Front-street Cable Com
pany, met a terrible deatn this morning at
the power-house. Branan was employed
as night watchman and repairer. He had
just oiled the great sheave wheel around
which the cable passes and, being in a
.liuiry, neglected to replace the planks cov
ering the wheel.
He went away, but returned in a few mo
ments after his oil-can, aud failing to no
tice the open place at the sheave, stepped
in. The arms of the wheel caught his legs,
and in an Instant he was drawn between
• the heavy timbers forming the frame
work, and his life was crushed out.
The machinery was stopped Immediately,
and Branan's body was found rolled np
like a ball and crushed into a pulp. Be
was married and 33 years old.

The ErilcDS Fitting Out Tw*) Schooners for
Eehring Sea.
Victoria, July s.— The news telegraphed
. from Port Townsend that a special
messenger had arrived from Washington
with instructions for the commanders of
the United Slates cutters to proceed to
Behriug Sea and seize all the vessels found
with any evidence of having been engaged
in seal fishery causes' great indignation.
At the same time comes a story tbat the
British squadron has been ordered to
Esquimau. The latter story brings peace
to the minds of some, but a majority of
' British Columbians believe that no matter
what acts of piracy may be committed by
the Yankees the British war-ships will not
Interfere.
It is known that the crews of all the ves
sels proceeding to the sealing grounds are
fully armed, with the view of resisting
seizure, but to-day the story leaked out
that two clipper schooners are being
secretly fitted out in Maple Bay, especially
to meet the Yankees. Said vessels will
..each carry a heavy swivel, besides two
smaller guns, and disguised as sealers will
tempt a seizure, so as to bring on an en
counter.
Regarding the latter story, Captain
Scott, the veteran sealer, says the report no
doubt is true, but the matter has been kept
'secret The skippers of the two vessels in
which he was interested had armed their
trews and swore to go to the bottom rather
' than submit to seizure.

entire possessions so preyed upon his mind
that lie became partially insane, and while
in that condition took his life.

effective. At the same time let it be under
stood that it is the determination of your
union to win the fight if it lasts five years."

their Philadelphia strike, which lias been
on since February 1-ltli, and the 75 men
who were out have returned on their own
terms. This will enable the International
Union, which has been supporting the 75
men, to give the onion here more support.

DOWNFALL OF
THE CABINET.
Kalakaua's Ministry Driven to the
Wall.
New Political Advisers Chosen — Charges
Against Ex-Foreign Minister Austin.
All Quiet at the Capital.
Hon. Jonathan Austin, late Foreign
Minister to his Majesty Kalakaua I. ar
rived in the city yesterday from Hono
lulu on the Oceanic Steamship Company's
steamer Mariposa. He brought the first
news that has re ached the outer world of
the dissolution of the Hawaiian Cabinet,
and of the election of a new Ministry.
It will be remembered that the last
steamer from the islands brought the first
tidings of the impending crisis. At that
time the crash had not yet come, but events
had already occurred of such a nature as
to foreshadow the downfall of the Ministry,
When the Mari posa left the island capital,
the big row had occurred, but ended with
out violence, and affai rs in the kingdom
were exceedingly quiet
A ministry had gone the way of all Cab
inet Ministers, and tlie Government felt
secure. Nothing of an alarming nature
happened to arouse the apprehensions of
the good kind Kalakaua, and he still reposed
In his palace in the confidence of peace
maintained.
COMPLEXION' OF the new CAT.ISET.
Mr. Austin was seen last night, and was
found to be, in person and manners, the
ideal diploniate. Well advanced in years,
but with the bearing of a man of affairs, he
talked freely and with charming frank
ness. Beseemed to regard his downfall
philosophically and had nc hesitancy In re
ferring to it.
It may be well, however, to recall the
fact that at the time the latest advices were
sent out from Honolulu it was stated that
the opposition had made a number of
serious charges against Mr. Austin, among
which was one that he had conspired wltn
his fellow-Ministers to selljthe independ
ence of the islands. Another was that he
had withheld important diplomatic corre
spondence, which he claimed to be of a
private nature.
Speaking of the matter last night to a
representative of The Lai.'., he said:
"Yes, it is true that the old Cabinet has
been compelled to give way to a uew one.
It was a bard struggle and we made a good
light, but they finally tired us out. A new
Cabinet was then formed, composed as fol
lows: Minister of Foreign Affairs, John
A. Cunimings: Minister of Interior, C.N.
Spencer; Minister of Finance, Godfrey
Brown, and Attorney-General, Arthur Pe
terson.
CUAIIUES WITH ISTISIGUI'SO.
" The charges against me were that I had
not been true to the interests of Hawaii,
and that I had been in correspondence with
the Stale Department at Washington with
a view to sacrificing the independence of the
Government It was also charged against
me that I had refused to surrender certain
letters bearing upon tlie subject I simply
denied the charges as untrue and assured
the Government that I had at no time
lavored a treaty inimical to the interests of
the islands. As for the correspondence, it
was of a private nature and 1 so stated. I.
held that 1 had a right to refuse to surrender
it ou that account.
"An effort was made by the opposition to
impeach Attorney-General Ashfurd and
they endeavored to secure a vute of want of
confidence against hint, but the Legislature
voted it down by the very narrow majority
of one. We were apprehensive of a similar
motion and although we were unfriendly to
Ashford, the entire Miuistrjlresigued, the
Attorney-General going out with us
things looked exceedingly squally for a
time and we feared serious trouble, but for
tunately it was averted and quiet main- ,
tamed.
too many would-be leaders.
"The opposition was not firmly united.
There were too many leaders or would-be
leaders, and each one regarded himself as
the ail-important man. Wilcox and Mar
ques both regarded themselves as tbe
leaders, but the latter was the most violent
aud the most radical. Neither of them is
in the new Cabinet, which, no doubt is for
the best.
"As it now stands there is not a repre
sentative of either fin* ion in it, and it is
neither an opposition Cabinet nor yet a
Government Cabinet It Is a compromise
cabinet therefore, and 1 should s.ty repre
sents the best interests of the islands, al
though it is not to the liking of either party
so far as politics are concerned. 1 am in
clined to think, however, that it will please
the people, who, after all, have the most at
slake."
Mr. Austin predicted an era of increased
prosperity for the little kingdom, aud stated
thai he had not yet made any definite
plans for the future. It is his intention to
remain, lor a time at least, in this city.
FOLLOW. -D BY A GANG.
An Assault .M ..It. on Kearny Street on
Non-Union Mulders.
There was considerable excitement on
Kearny and Sutter streets about midnight,
caused by a row between four non-union
iron-molders and a party of men who
have some connection with tho striking
molders.
Henry Naliorn, who . came from Detroit
about three months ago and who was as
signed to work at the Pacific Foundry, left
bis hotel with three other non-union mold
ers about 11:30 o'clock. They Jumped off
the Fourth-street car at Kearny and Post
streets and walked down the first named
street, their object being to have a sight of
the city and take a little fresh air.
,i Horn states that they had been but a
few minutes on the sidewalk when they
were surrounded by a crowd, some of
whom began to call "scab." He drew a
pistol and flourished it. The crowd
scattered . and -Nahorn- started to
run, but - was arrested - by Officers
Burnett and Charles U. J. McDonald, who
charged him with exhibiting a deadly
weapon In a rude and threatening manner.
At the Central Station the prisoner said:
"I was walking along with my three com
panions, when ■we were approached by a
crowd. At first I was called a 'scab.' Then
some one said, 'Take that, you dirty scabl'
and 1 was hit from the rear in the side of
the head. Then I was struck iv the breast
and in the face. My companions were also
struck.
■ "I thought things were getting pretty
.warm and time to put a stop to these pro
ceedings. So I drew imy * pistol in defense
of what I thought was an attempt on my
life. I never saw any of my assailants be
fore. None of my companions drew their
pistols. I have a permit to carry one and
go had they. I don't know what became of
them after the fight am a peaceable man.
and am endeavoring to make an honest
living."

THE CHEMICAL ENGINE.
Good Work Done With It st a IHoiilriim
ery-Strret Fire.
Several passers-by observed smoke at
11 :2j o'clock last night coming out of the
store of J. O'Hanlon, an outfitter, at 719
and 721 Montgomery street. An alarm was
at once turned iv from Box 21, which
brought the Fire Department in a short
lime to the scene.
When the firemen arrived the while store
appeared to be in flames, which were seen
issuing from a broken window. The door
was burst open and the fire soon ex
tinguished, the chemical engine alouo being
used. I Tbe loss, though a great part of the
slock was saved, is estimated at $1000.
O'Uaulon's principal business consisted In
supplying sailors with outfits.
Very little damage was done to the
building, the flames being confined to the
stuck of goods in the : store. The cause of
the tire is unknown. The building is
owned by the Le Boy estate, and above the
store is a room formerly occupied by the
Municipal Criminal Court.
HIS DEATH a;II\'ST£EY.
No Light Thrown on Ihe Suicide of
' George F. lilsjelow.
; The newt : of the suicide of George F.
. Bigelow in a hotel at Tacoma on Sunday
night was received with great regret and
surprise 7 by his • many friends in this city,
and with the keenest sorrow by ! his aged
parents, who live at 1825 Green street.
A * visit was paid yesterday to the resi
dence of tbe father of the deceased, H. 11.
Bigelow. si Both parents were seen,' and
each, stated that they had not the faintest
idea as to what induced their, son to make
away with himself. They had no clew to
the mystery, and did not think it was
caused by love, as stated in tbe dispatches.
The deceased was a native of California
and 25 years of age. He was a graduate of
the Boys' High School, and passed one year
at the University of California. He se
lected the insurance business as a career,
and was first employed in the California
Insurance Company. Lately he obtained
the position of special agent for the North
Pacific Insurance Company, and as such
Intended to stop gome time in Tacoma. i
'1 lie lather of the young man stated that
he received a letter from bis son dated June
30th, but it did not show him to be in a
despondent mood. He did not know that
bis son was in any financial difficulties, hav
ing a good position. The body will be
brought to this city for interment.
FRENCH CELEBRATION.
Music Question Settled— Parade
of the Third.
Preparations for tbe celebration of the
one hundred and first anniversary of the
birth of liberty among the French by the
fall of the Bastile prison are nearing com
pletion. For several weeks these arrange
ments have been progressing and there now
remains only the details to lay out
The route of procession and those who
will participate in it are decided, and though
other representative bodies may appear in
line the programme, as laid out will not be
materially departed from. The only feature
not wholly decided upon was regarding the
music, and it was that subject which en
grossed about two hours of the committee's
time last night An understanding was ar
rived at on the point most disputed and
other points of difference will be settled
with ease.
The Fourteenth of July Committee held a
special meeting last night to dispose of this
music question. Emanuel Meyer, Presi
dent, was in the chair. The first thing
touched upon was the leadership of the
bands and a heated dispute ensued between
the two aspirants, Victor Hue Paris and M.
Mathieu, and their friends.
For years M. Mathieu has furnished the
music for the French colony, and in return
he has often serenaded its citizens and done
other little favors. He is a Frenchman of
ultra-French blood, a good fellow, loyal to
the memory of bis native land. But every
quality he boasts has Victor Hue Paris,
and a bitter fight was indulged in for the
supremacy.
Both are members of the Musicians'
Union and leaders of first-clats bands, aud
that only added to the difficulty. Was
Mathieu loyal, so was Paris. Was
Mathieu well liked by bis friends, so was
Paris by his. For over one hour the com
mittee had one voice, and that voice an up-
roar.
Words were not bandied at sword's point,
but belched forth as from a cannon. When
thoroughly tired, when each side sat and
glared at the other, neither willing to ac
cede a point or grant a word, then, and not
until then, was the question near its solu
tion. At that moment tiie Mathieu faction
gave In, and M. Mathieu led the surrender.
He consented to Victor Hue Paris having
charge of the music, with the understand
ing that he should employ him as leader of
one of the bands. The opposition grasped
the proposition with alacrity, since it was
all that could have been acceded| it by a
majority vote, and the question was set
tled.
A letter was read from Colonel T. F. Barry
stating that a battalion of the Third In
fantry Regiment, N. Q. CL, would participate
in the paiade and would be commanded by
Lieutenant-Colonel O'Connor.
A communication was also received from
a firm on Market street offering $1100 for
all the privileges of the gardens on the day
of celebration. The matter was referred to
the Committee on Finance.

O'Laughlin on a charge of arson will take
place next Tuesday before Justice Byler.
A warrant wits sworn out yesterday
charging John Wilson with battery. Wil
son is a muscular young man, and without
any provocation struck Deputy Constable
Cramer in the mouth, inflicting painful in
juries. Cramer is much smaller than Wil
son, whose deed appears very cowardly.
Among the many who went from this
city to Hay wards to celebrate the Fourth
were Ed Waldo, known as "Hayseed," and
a young man named Kelly. They imbibed
very freely of beer, and becoming angry at
each other for sonio tilling reason hud a
knock-out. Waldo was too much for Kelly,
and sent bim to the ground, where he lay
like a log. A Haywards doctor happened
along, who examined the prostrate form of
Kelly and pronounced hi in dead. The
Town Marshal was notified, who hunted up
Waldo and placed him In the town lock-up,
and intended to put a charge of murder
against him. The apparently lifeless form
of Kelly was taken to the shop of the vil
lage undertaker, and altogether the outlook
for Waldo was quito doleful. But a few
hours afterward Kelly commenced to show
signs of life, and in the evening he was
able to return to his home on Santa Clara
avenue, near Bay street, in this city.
Waldo was confined all the night in the
Haywards lock-up, and was released yes
terday, as there was no one to make any
charge against him.
