HONOLULU. May 4. (Via San Fraaelseo.
May IP.) The first territorial legislature
of Hawaii eeme to an end the eveninc of
April 3" according to Governor Dolt, and
on the new nlgbt. according to the: ma
jority of both houses.
The legislature ended Us existence at
loggerheads with the governor all along
the line, and
wlthnut h.vlnr nert a 1
single one of the Important measures to '
whhh the home rulers were committed, ex- ,
cepl the county government act, which
the governor killed by a vest pocket veto.
The last act of the house the evening
of April 30 was to pass a concurrent resolu
tion containing a memorial to President
McKmley asking for the removal of Gov
ernor Dole. He Is charged with having
hindered the work of the session by his
hostility toward the legislature, withhold
Inc information and reports that were
called for and refusing to co-operate with
the lawmakers.
The president Is asked in the resolution
to use his Influence in behalf of an extrJ
session of the legislature to transact gen
eral legislation, which Dole refuses to
grant.
The Hawstlans claim they have not had
time In which to work out the plans of
lawmaking they bad formed In the thirty
days of the regular session.
In conclusion the home rulers ask that
Dole be removed. If the president sees no
other way to bring about an extra session
of the territorial leclslature, declaring
that the governor has acted in such a
manner as to lose the confidence of n ma
jority of the people of the territory, and
charging that he has not dealt fairly with
the home rule legislature.
The concurrent resolution passed through
both houses by large majorities, all the
native home rule members voting for it.
Governor Dole created a sensation in
both houses by informing the committee
sent to him to ask for an extra session
that one of his reasons for not granting
an extra session was that he had been re
liably Informed that bribery was taking
place.
Both houses pawed a resolution demand
ing proof. In. r-ply the governor stated
that grncral charges of bribery had been
made In the local papers nd on the floor
of the senate, but had not been Investi
gated, In spite of the appointment of com
mutes to look Into them, and that the
matter was being investigated ty the gov
ernment with a view to punishing the
offenders if evidence against them could
be obtained.
The goernor has issued a proclamation
calling for an extra session for appropria
tion bills only to begin May S.
Circuit Judge Humphreys Is about to
call a special grand jury to investigate the
charges of bribery in the legislature.

take an optimistic view of the Chinese
news. They consider that substantial and
rapid progress toward an understanding is
being made.
Russia Is especially interested in the pro
posal for & Chinese loan guaranteed by the
powers jointly or severally to the amount
due to each. The view held In some quar

would not only save China enormous dis
count and Interest, but would be the best
possible guaranty of tbe empire's integrity
during the period of the loan, since the en
tire Chinese territory would be considered
as security for the loan. The correspond

believe the United States government is
fully Informed regarding Russia's views on

DISPUTE IS AT DEADLOCK

Claimed lij llolli
Mdc.
NEW YORK, May 10. A Wall street news
agency made this statement this afternoon:
It Is author.tatlvely stated that the princi
pal mtturb In dispute regarding tbe affairs
and policy of tbe Northern Pacific Railway
company are at a deadlock, from which a
change is hardly to be expected by the
arrival here of J. P. Morgan. The agree
ment of last night appears to have
been prompted wholly to relieve the actual
short interest unwittingly and unwillingly
cornered. From an authoritative source
claims of contiol have been heard In favor
of bcth sides. Parties who frequently
speak on matters concerning J. P. Mor
gan Co. Insist with vehemence that the
control of the road rests absolutely with
them.
HARRIMAN STILL CLAIMS IT

NEW YORK. May 10. After the close of
the stock exchange reports were current
that Jacob H. SchlS had admitted that the
control oi the Northern Pacific road rested
with J. P. Morgan & Co. Mr. Schlff's at
tention was called to this report and he
characurized it aR false. Another member
of tbe Harriman syndicate made this state
ment: "We believe now. as we did yesterday,
that we control the Northern Pacific road.
Nothing has happened over night or during
the day to change our opinion. As for the
Burlington deal, concerning which there has
been so much adverse criticism, we be
lieve it will go through without a further
hitch."

felt In all parts of this city, the hoist being , the corner in Northern Pacific, which has
half a mile away. A .fire alarm was Imme

years.
The Highland hoist Is one of the largest
and most Important of six that are used
by the company. About one-third of tbe
ore is hoisted there and a large sawmill
Is operated in connection, in which all of
the timbers for the mine are cut and
prepared for the workings.
The hoist building and sawmill are both
completely demoralized. There are four
sets of boilers. Tbe one tbat blew up was
put In a year ago. No cause has been dis
covered for the explosion. The boiler blew
up from the center, the ends being blown

company will be completely crippled until
the hoist and sawmill can be repaired.
It is estimated tonight that the explosion
will cost the company between JIOO.OOO and

men were employed at the hoist tonight.

BUFFALO, N. Y.. May 10. This evening
60 carpenters and joiners employed at the
exposition grounds went on strike. Unless
the men's demands arc granted by tbe Ex
position company the walking delegates in
tend to call out every man employed at the
exposition grounds tomorrow morning. The
men do not ask for higher wages. The
trouble is over what the carpenters call
"unfair" lumber, which, as interpreted by
the union men. means material furnished by
mills employing nonunion men. The present
strike Is the outgrowth of the recent strike
of mill hands. Most of the mill owners
settled with their men. but a few are still

their lumber was delivered at the exposi

were not asked to handle It. as the mill
owners sent out their own carpenters, but
tbey objected to it going Into tbe buildings
on which they were employed, and as soon

At 11:30 o'clock tonight Director of Works

Mr. Carlton would not say whether he had

he was very emphatic In stating that the

would be no delay.

1? the Collapse.
NEW YORK, May 10. Wall street'l
tpeculatlve bubble, which bas been la
cvuise of Infiation for wecKt. was pricked
this week and the Iridescent hues of stocK
gnmb'ers' winnings disappeared with a poa
lii a cloud of spray. Even so soon as '.It's
tbe fact emerges that the vanquishing
spray represents principally those specula
tive winnings, while the solid substratum
of the country's profitable industries, thr
high earning powers of the rehabilitated
railroads aad the prosperous business and
eccrged from Its mjaterlcs and stands dis
closed to public view In Its principal facts
aad bearings. It is the nature of a spec-
ulatlve boom tbat It contains within Itself
holdings of stocks
None of these holdings are to keep, and j
tbe only incentive to buying Is the hope j
of further rise. When anv accident hap- i
pens to endanger the continuance of the j
rise the demand therefor ceases absolutely. '
When holders attempt to sell, first to take '
profits, then to save losses, there arc no j
buyers. Prices decline and the credlta on
whKh holder depend shrink, and they I
must sell. The shrinkage of the value of
securities endangers the safety of loans
for which they ere as collateral and
bankers mutt be repaid.
Money on Any Term.
Money must be had on any terms to
avert ruin, stocks are old without regard
to pnee ana a species o: panic ensues, j
That Is what happened this week on the
stock exchange. The remarkable feature
of the collapse of fictitious values is that
it was precipitated by the very operations
upon which the boom was largely based.
These were the plans working out Xor
consolidation of railroad systems which I
stimulated dreams of Indefinite Increase '
In values of railroad securities and fur
nished tbe great incentive to the vast spec
ulative buying. One railroad stock after
another has risen In price by wonderful
leaps and bounds, under the Influence
either of actual negotiations for absorption
nd consolidation or of rumors of such ne
gotiations.
No later than last week Union Pacific
was rushed up to 133 per share on tne
belief that It was to be absorbed to form
a link in a trans-continental railroad
system.
Tbe similar movements which had pre
viously occurred In Northern Pacific. Bur
lington and St, Paul gave tbe speculators
the utmost confidence In following the
movement which marked another of the
comprehensive advances in tbe general
level of prices for railroad stocks, which
was building up fortunes for tbe lucky
ones who had bought tbe shares.
Tbe development of a similar movement
In yortiern I'aclflc'wvie halljd with jubila
tion as another- step In the boom.- Monday,
when Northern Pacific was lifted to 153.
the whole list responded with an advance
and the buyers of stocks were crowding to
tbe stock exchange to buy stocks again.
A single broker bought 100.000 shares
of Northern Pacific that day and continued
to buy the next day. This particular buy
ing has been variously attributed to one
of the contending parties for the control
of Northern Pacific and to a speculator
who tried to corner the stock and squeeze
the shorts.
Muck tornerril, Minrt
Alarmrd.
In any event the stock was cornered
and tbe shorts were thrown into alarm,
and their unavailing efforts to find re
sourcts to meet their obligations served
as tbe shock which toppled over the airy
fabric of stock prices, reared on Insuffi
cient credit, which therefore came crash
ing down. On Wednesday night shorts
paid as high as J5.JO0 for the privilege
of borrowing 100 shares of Northern Pa
cific common for delivery next day.
On Thursday tbe stock sold on the ex
change for 11,000 per share and the shorts
began throwing over the holdings of other
stocks on the weak market to realize money
and threw tbe market into a spasm of un
precedented vlalence The disclosure grow
ing out of the Northern Pacific episode
that bitter and apparently irreparable ani
mosities had grown up among contending
groups of tbe country's largest capitalists
shattered confidence in all the supposed
measures to secure community of interest
and the abolition of competition among
railroads.
It seems that with an outstanding share
capital of $00,600 shares the shorts could
not borrow- or buy shares for delivery at
any price, and lt marks tbe desperation of
the struggle for control of tbe property
that neither party should consent to lend
of their abundant supply of storks even
to relieve the panic, which was damaging
vast projects of tbelr own as well as bring
ing ruin and disaster to others, for fear
that tbe stock, once out of their hands,
would be used to defeat their claims to
control.
Tbe collapse also revealed the purely
speculative character of the greater part
of the recent large buying which has been
readily attributed by tbe heated Imaglca-
! tlon of the speculators to buying for In
j vestment and control by the great railroad
I systems, to be taken out of tbe market
and placed In strong boxes and the vaults
of trust rompanles.
Complrtene nf Cillnpr,
The completeness of the collapse seems
to have thoroughly cleared the market of
the recklessly speculative holders, and the
market quickly realized tbat the low pricee
to which stocks fell in the demoralization
of Thursday were as unreal and as far
from representing tbelr true values as were
the Inflated prices to which the boom had
cai'led tbem.
The bargain hunter appeared In Wall
street with tbe funds which he never
hazards In speculative booms and un
willingness to pay prices for stocks above
those touched In the panic and which
would mean Insolvency for many com
mission houses The measure taken by
the banks to supplv the ne-drd money and
tbe settlement with the Northern Pacific
shorts quieted tbe acute fears of holders
o! storks and a greater d
' dence began quickly to be
greater degree of confi-
re-established.

NEW YORK, May 10. Tonight exery
thing Is oulet In the Wall street district
and at the uptown botrls and clubs, where
groups ef stock broker and bankers and
operators usually gather Wall street,
which during the last week bad been
"wide open" and brilliantly illuminated at
tnldnlsbt for the purpose of allowing large
forces of clerks, bookkeepers and mestcu
gers to arrange for midnight recording of
transfers of stock in preparing for the
coming day's labors, tonight bad assumed
its normal condition. At places like the
Union League club and. the Waldorf-Astoria
many Interested persons gathered to
discuss tbe skyrocket events of the last
week and to express feelings of relief that
the Stock exchange will be closed tomorrow
,, ,v ,,!,.. ,y, ,k nr,. .,
,,anlc . of mi lt over, Tn(1 fact tDal no
trading will be done tomorrow in conse
quence of tbe action of tbe board of gov
ernors of the Stock exchange In declaring
Saturday a complete holiday, so far as
the brokers are concerned, is welcomed
by the tired clerks, who have been work
ing overtime since the boom In stocks
started and night and day since the re
cent pyrotechnic movements of Northern
Pacific commenced.
At the various hotels, theaters and clubs
tonight the most alluring as well as the
most remarkable stories arc told of lho
gains and losses In stock In general and
Northern Pacific la particular during tbe
last week. The truth of many of these
stories will neter be known, for the rea
son tbat the wildest excitement prevailed
during the "break" on Thursday the time
when losses and gains were most pro
nouncedand now that lt Ib all over the
men who are said to bave made heavy
winnings naturally arc not Interested In
deuying reports of their good fortune or
good Judgment, especially when these re
ports only add to their financial credit.
Loser Are Sayinsr .othlnn.
On the other hand, the deals of the men
who are credited with losing In the re
cent excitement arc generally not be
lieved, by their friends, and the unlucky
ones or alleged unfortua,Uni are -spee-dlly
learning tbat the best thing1 that-they-can
do under the circumstances Is merely to
langh at the reports without protesting too
much and too long that misfortune has
passed tbem by.
The very fact that there will be no trad
ing until next Monday morning, it Is said,
gives the leaders in tbe stock market, men
like Hill, Harriman. Vanderbilt, Morgan,
Rotkcfeller and Stlllman, time to compare
notes and exchange views.
lt is noticeable that discussion tonight
centers upon the question of control of ths
Northern Pacific. So far as actual control
is concerned the Impression Is gaining
grouad that it will be the party with tbe
most money that will acquire lt. Many of
tbe dally papers and some of the financial
papers today expressed the belief tbat con
trol of the Northern Pacific was still vested
tn the Morgan-Hill party On the other
hand, one of the leading dally papers and
financial organs of the street expressed the
opinion that the Harriman party Is in con
trol. One thing seems settled tonight, and
that Is that Kuhn. Loeb & Co. do not yet
admit defeat. Late today Mr. Otto H. Kubn
of the firm did not hesitate to tay: "We be
lieve we have control."
J. J. Hill, on the other band, however, was
quite as decisive In reiterating bis previous
statements that "the control bas not
changed."
As a matter of fact there seems no reason
for doubting that both Interests have con
trol so far as stock In their possession plus
contracts for delivery are concerned. But
wb-rh interest will eventually be able to vots
a control In the form of actual certificates
remains to be seen and will. It Is tonight
believed, not be definitely known until the
annual meeting In the fall.
STOCKS QUICK TO RECOVER
Wall Street Itallle Mruiorkahly Wrll
After Tburda' Snrcalatite
Itn rrr.
NEW YORK, May 10. Wall street
emerged from its gloom this morning and
with growing confidence In tbe day mani
fested something like buoyant elation.
Prices of stock went up with a rush at tbe
last, closing at about the top. and with
tne nn losses left after yesterday's ses
sion pretty largely recovered.
There were some clouds remaining cn
tbe situation this morning and some natural
trepidation lest tbe violent collapse of
yesterday should bave left some casualties
which would not be disclosed until tba
clearing house Eheets of the Stock ex
change had been made up. Early tn tbe
day the official announcement was made
that the eheets of all the members of tbe
exchange had been cleared perfectly and
that all their checks had been honored.
This relieves the last feeling of apprehen
sion and tbe feverish and earnest signs
which were manifest in tbe stock market
during tbe first hour disappeared. Things
quieted down into a steady condition of
business such as has not been witnessed
lu Wall street for many weeks.
The measures taken o(er night to dear
the situation left little to fear. The agree
ment to allow the sbotts in Northern Pa
cific to settle at If really went to the
root oi tbe crisis and wiped out the Im
pelling cause of yterday' panic. Tba
announcement by the banks that yester
day's loans, which had been provided by
agreement among the leading Institutions
of the street, would not be called today
kept the situation free from additional
tension.
With the threatening conditions rcmcrd
a rebound In prices wss natural and In
evidence. The extent to which it ran was,
however a rurprise at.rt was attributed
to various causes There is no doubt that
amrng tboie whn were heavy losers la
