A MEMORIAL TO THE RESIDENT A Problem Thmt Will Face the Chief Executive on His Betarn l'resldfat XoIe I. Utnounccd a. Hostile to the Island's Beat Interests. HONOLULU, May 5. (Via San Praneisro May 11.) The first terri torial legislature of Hawaii came to an end the evening of April 30, ac cording to Governor Dole, and on the next night according to the majority of both honsei. The legislature ended its existence at loggerheads with the governor all along the line, and without having passed a single one ot the important .measures to which the home rulers were committed, except the county gov rnment 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 resolution containing a memorial to President McKinley asking for the re moval of Governor Dole. He is charged with having hindered the work of the session by his hostility toward the leg islature, withholding information and reports that were called for and refus ing to co-operate with the lawmakers. The president is asked in the reso lution to use his influence in behalf of an extra session of the legislature to transact general legislation, which Dole refuses to grant. The Hawaiians claim they have not had time in which tc work out the plans of lawmaking they had formed in the thirty days of the regular ses sion. 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 legis lature, declaring that the governor has acted in such a manner as to lose the conlidence of a majority 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 majori ties, all the native home rule members voting for it. - Governor Dole created a sensation in both houses by informing the com mittee 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 reliably informed that brib . ery was" t'tking place. Both houses passed a resolution de manding proof. In reply the governor stated that general charges of bribery had been made in the local papers and on the floor of the senate, but had not been investigated, in spite of the appointment of committees to look into thera. and that the matter was being investigated by the governor with a view to punishing the offend ers if evidence against them could be obtained.

Nebraska Dealer Rally to Defend Dairy latere U. OMAHA, May 13. The Nebraska Butter and Egg Dealers' association and the State Dairymen's association, representing practically all of the dairy interests in the state, will give united support to State Food Commis sioner Bassett in his efforts to enforce the law against the illegitimate sale of imitation butter and other imitation dairy products. Twenty-five members of the Butter and Egg Dealers' association met in Omaha in response to an emergency call issued by the president and secre tary of the organization, and with pne voice they agreed to stand by Commis sioner Bassett in any step he might take toward the protection of the dairy interests. Mr. Bassett was appointed food commissioner by Governor Savage and it is said he will take charge of his office in a few days. He will work under the law enacted by the legisla ture of 1897. Morris Friend of Lincoln, represent ing the Beatrice Creamery company of that place, said to a reporter: "There is no reason why the law against the sale of imitation butter cannot now be enforced. The legisla ture of 1897 did not make proper pro vision for its enforcement, but this year the lawmakers remedied the evil committed two years ago, and, so far as we know, the law will stand the test of any court in the land. The trouble for years was due to the failure of the legislature to make appropriations for the salary of the commissioner and his assistant. "In brief, the state food law provides a penalty for selling colored imita tions of butter. It will allow the sale of butterine, but only in its natural color. This places both butter and but terine on an equal footing. What the dairymen object to is the sale of but terine or other butter imitations that are colored to resemble in appearance the pure dairy product. It is this de ceit that we want to stamp out, and we are of the opinion that we have the means at hand to do it with. The law also requires restaurants, hotels and other public eating houses that serve butter imitations to give notice of the fact by posting signs in a conspicuous place setting forth that butterine, or whatever the imitation may be called, is served in the place." The State Dairymen's association will probably fellow the example of the butter and egg dealers and hold a spe cial meeting within the next few days with a similar purpose in view. The officers of that association have already signified their intention of standing back to back with the food commis sioner in his effort to enforce the law, but it is proposed to make the influ ence of the organization still stronger by calling a special meeting for the purpose of taking united action. The present indications point to a clash with the imitation butter manu facturers. They object most strenu ously to the restriction against the use of coloring, and it is possible proceed ings may be instituted in the courts to test the constitutionality of the act. Mr. Bassett, in his official capacity, will demand compliance with the law, and if any violators are caught they will be prosecuted. He will have the moral support of every butter and dairy man in the state, and they to gether feel they can wield a mighty influence. Firth Marriage at 87. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb..

THE END IS NOT YET IN SIGHT Leader Confer en the Sentence of Snorts Determine Upon the Condition On Which They Are Willing to Settle Mora;' and Hill Are Oa Top. NEW YORK, May 10. Bitter stress developed in Wall street by the sec ond hour of trade on the Stock Ex change today. The violence of the emotion had spent much of its force, at least for the time being, when the chairman's gavel fell, an nouncing the close of the day's pro ceedings. The casualties were great and the field of battle was strewn with the wounded, and maybe with the dying. But of actual fatalities none were recorded of importance during the day. During the height of the panic rumors of insolvencies were handed about more quickly than they could be reported. But no con firmation could be had of the intima tions of financial wreck. Those against whom the rumors pointed refused even to show any sign of distress and professed themselves ready to meet all obligations. In more than one instance the answer to these ru mors was for a representative of the house to go upon the Stock Exchange and place leans to a large amount, as indicating the abundance of re sources at hand. But notwithstanding these and sim ilar devices for keeping up credit and confidence, the fact was obvious from the crash of values on the exchange that credits and borrowing power were shrinking at too prodigious rate not to leave the mind of the whole financial world in a condition of in tense strain. But the indications at the close of the day were strong that the , principal damage had been wrought upon the speculative class or upon holders of securities on margin, for whatever purpose. The banks have been so well protected by recent extensions of the margins exacted in the market value of collateral over the amount of loans placed that they had little to fear short of an absolute wiping out of market values. The shrinkage of collateral made it neces sary for the banks in many cases to exact additicnal collateral during the day and this added much to the dis tress for a time. But late in the dealings the prin cipal banks in the financial district agreed to form a pool and raise a fund to loan, putting the money rate down to 6 per cent on the Stock Ex change. The bid for money had been run up to 60 per cent and was threat ening to keep alive the panic. The dozen banks quickly came to an agree ment to raise $16,000,000. with implied willingness to advance the sum If nec essary. There were heavy loans placed also by individual banks, ranging in some cases to $2t,000,000 and 130,000,000. Through the early part of the day hankers exacted the market rate for loans. But with the growing naed to suppress the panic they offered the rate down to 6 per cent Old cus tomers of the banks were not charged over 6 per cent at any time, but when outsiders came in asking for new loans, the law of supply and demand was allowed to run its course. The state of excitement was very apparent all through the financial dis trict during the period of the panic, but there were few sensational scenes. Now and then a white-faced woman would appear from a cab outside a broker's office and would be driven off ii a fainting condition over receiving a message from the interior. Wher ever any near approach could be made to a ticker or to a board on which quotations were posted, there were great throngs of excited speculators scrambling for a view of the course of the market But the real stress of the occasion came upon the men who were shut up in either their pri vate offices or those of brokers, or who were struggling and fighting on the floor of the exchange. Oldest Harvard Man Dies. WASHINGTON, D. C. May 10. Former Judge John J. Hayden of In diana died here, aged 82 years.

The ap plication lor the injaBction was made on the ground that the prices it was proposed to pay for the Boston and Montana and Butte were excessive. CLAIM CRISIS IS TASSCD. IndnstrUl Leader Asserts that Financial Storm Has Spent Its Farjr. NEW YORK, May 10. A banker who participated in' the movement to relieve the market this evening ma'de this statement to the Associated Press: "We loaned $1,000,000 in the market after 10 o'clock today, some of it as low as 6 per cent, and feel that the crisis is over. I do not believe that a single large loan will go down. There have been tremendous losses. Thousands of accounts, representing millions of dollars, are wiped out But the banks are firm and the large operators are, I think, capable of caring for themselves. You see, they have been taking large profits and are capable of standing up. At present prices I feel that stocks are a good in vestment and look for heavy buying orders. A good day and the market will be steady again. The banks acted together today, but there was no consonance of agreement about it We placed about $16,000,000 in the ag gregate and the moral effect was good. Wall street could not stand many days like this, but as it is the storm is weathered and the situa tion will improve from the opening tomorrow." An industrial leader made this state ment to the Associated Press: "I believe the worst of the storm is oer. They have been conferences of importance among the larger financi ers and it has been decided that every man of standing in the street shall be protected. I had thought there would be failures, but there are in fluences strong enough to avert at work and I am no sure they will suc ceed. I look for buying orders and a rally In the market There will also be peace among the interests now at war." ARMOUR GETS SIOUX CITY PUNT. Acqaires Interoatlon&l Packing Com pany's Property. SIOUX CITY, May 10. It became known here today that Armour & Co. of Chicago have purchase the old In ternational Packing plant and will operate it The plant was built by the Silberhorns at a cost of $400,000. It covers five acres of ground. The ca pacity of the plant is 500 cattle, 3,250 hogs and 1,000 sheep. In 1899 the plant was acquired by the International Packing company, which operated it until the reorganiza tion of the company when the Sioux City Provision company took charge a few weeks ago. Sioux City people are rejoicing be cause of the fact that a rivalry for business is expected to spring up be tween the Armour plant and the Cud ahy concern now in operation here.

From another source it was learned that it was 26 to 3. The meeting was prolonged from 11 o'clock until 2. The intense interest in the question to be acted upon was evinced by the large attendance, only seven of the twenty-nine members of the board being absent. England Takes Censns. LONDON, May 10.

The de- f endants were released from jaiL M'BLOBJB DEAL Tamitauras Proceedings on Wall Street Affect Burlington Movement UNION FACIFIC rROTECTING ITSELf Pnrehase of Northern PaelSe Shares Is to Preveat Rival' BeaeStlag Kaha Loefe Hay mw Assent to Trlangalar Arrange sneat With the Northerners. NEW YORK, May 9. The Evening Post, in discussing the Northern Pa cific situation, says: Kuhn, Loeb & Co., it was creditably stated today, have acquired sufficient Northern Pa cific stock to prevent, if they desire, the approval of the Burlington pur chase by Northern Pacific sharehold ers. Their purchases for the most part have been made within a week. Some compromise will be made, as the par ties in conflict are so important, and Union Pacific interests, which the management of that property felt were threatened by the aggressive policy ot the Northern Pacific, will be protected by agreement or by Mr. Harriman and perhaps other Union Pacific directors going into the Northern Pacific board. These -are matters which necessarily are still unsettled, but Kuhn, Loeb & Co. now have virtually the power to determine whether the Northern Pa cific will secure the Burlington, and whether assurances given that their Union Pacific interests will be fully protected. It appears that they would not push their advantage so far as to stop the merger proposed by Mr. Hill. Dealing with the relations of things In the turmoil of Wall street the financial writer of the Evening Post, in a news leader in its edition this evening, says: The fundamental fact in the Northern Pacific situation was that the Burlington deal is placed in jeopardy, as matters stand at present Union Pacific Interests, who were alarmed at the danger of their prop erty, lying in the control of the Bur lington by the northern transconti nental line, have bought the ratifica tion of the Burlington purchase by the Northern Pacific shareholders unless some agreement is made with them which will protect their interests suf ficently. The corner in the shares was un precedented. That development re sulted, it is said, from Mr. Keene's clever appreciation of the situation in the stock, the legitimate demand for which had heavily reduced the floating supply. The corner is a secondary aspect, though the more spectacular one to the public, in a movement of far-reaching consequences, possibly putting a stop to the plans for the greatest of railroad mergers, upsetting President Hili's audacious plan to have the Northern Pacific control Burling ton's operations. The policy of Kuhn. Loeb & Co. has been essentially one of self-protection, and being now in a dominant position where the "balance of power" In the western railway situation, so rudely disturbed by Mr. Hill's Burlington deal, has been restored, they will con tent themselves. Rather than create lasting hostilities among the great western railroads which would follow the abandonment of the Burlington deal, there probably will be made a triangular arrangement, with the Union Pacific sharing the control as well as the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, under a modification of the burden of the guaranty. DUE TO CORNER ON CORN. That is Why Starch Mills Are to Be Closed Indefinitely. NEW YORK, May 9. William F. Piel, Jr., president of the National Starch Manufacturing company, when seen at his residence in Brooklyn to night, said that it was true that the company had ordered all its factories closed. He said that it was done on account of the present corner in corn at Chicago. Mr. Piel said the company did not care to purchase corn while the corner is on, but would wait un til the market became stable. He said it was simply a case of business pro tection, and that he thought the shut downs would not last for any great period of time. Treasury Baylor Bands. WASHINGTON.

Oao Wife and Three Haahands. Lizzie Anderson, ot Erie. Pa., aged 37, was married thn times, and yet was not legally separated from any of her husbands. Death brought them together, and they shook hands silent ly over her coffin. She met and mar ried Jesse Samson when but a young girl, but eloped with Moses Arm strong. Soon afterward she left him and was wedded to Noah Anderson. The husbands were sworn enemies and never spoke. No legal proceedings were taken and the matter never got into the courts.

The growth so weakened him that physicians feared to use the knife and patient was slowly dying. A few days ago He saw a Philadelphia paper in which there was a cartoon making fun of Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania. Thorpe laughed and immediately a stream of blood gushed from his mouth. The doctor happened to call just then, aad after examining Thorpe, declared that the abcess had broken and that the patient would now get well. A DOCTOR THIS TIME. Portland. May 6th. Dr. E. A. Rose, a practising physician, formerly of Yates Center, Kans., was on what everyone supposed was his death bed. He had Diabetes, and six of his brother doctors were in attend ance and consultation at his bedside They had done everything that medi cal skill coild suggest to save his life, but they were at last reluctantly forced to tell him that he must prepare for death. His aunt had been summoned to his dying bedside. After the doctors had given her nephew up. she insisted that as a last resort, he be given a treat ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills. From the very first dose, the tide turned in his favor. His life was saved, and he is hale and hearty to day. This case and its cure has amazed the physicians, and is the sensation of the hour. It is interesting to note that while many others are being cured this great discovery in medi cine, the physicians themselves are among the first to benefit, and that while the simpler and more prevalent forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica, Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe male Weakness disappear before it, the more malignant forms, such as Bright's Disease. Diabetes and Dropsy, which have always been regarded as incurable, are yielding just as easily. Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super ceding all other treatment for Kidney Disease, and as nearly all human sick- l ness and suffering has its origin in the Kidneys, the use of this wonderful medicine is becoming almost universal.. The Lily's "Dream." Mrs. Langtry's English house in Chelsea is described as "a dream of beauty."
