Claudlne onrn.ite . to Washington with a
petition tu the I'nlted Status to annex the
Hawaiian Isl.mds.
The storv tit thn revolution Is as follows :
Queen Lin mkuhiiil attempted on January

the House of Nobles and giving her power
to appoint a new house. The foreign resi

On tiic nth tu ! rnmmlttcu ISSULM ! a procla

calling ntti-ntinn to the misrule of the in-
tlve monaivh : reciting the repeated at
tempts of the mieen to extend the royal
prerogatives and abridge the rights of the
] iooplc. au 1 declaring that unless radical
measures were taken the eredit of r
the islands at home and abroad ,
already damaged , would hoi wrecked
and the guaranties of protection to life and
property steadily decrease. Therefore the
monarchical system of government was de
clared abrogated and a provisional govern-
incnt established until terms of union with
the United States could ho negotiated nlltl
agreed on such provisional government ,
to consist of S U. Dole , .1. A. King , 1' . C.
Jones and W. fJ. Smith , to administer the
various executive department ) ) , with tlio
llrat named as president , and with an
advisory council of fourteen members , with
general legislative powers. Aside from the
queen and her ministers , the officers of the
old government were requested to continue
In the performance of their respective duties.
Existing laws not Inconsistent with the
proclamation were continued.
Tlio queen and cabinet yielded uncondi I-
tionally Tlio government building was
BcUed by tlio revolutionists and the now gov
ernment was sustained by the bayonets of
volunteers.
Things looked squally for a time. The
first move was the presentation of a now
constitution to the queen by tlio native legis
lature. It was really the old constitution ,
which gave the sovereign largo powers.
OiUH'ii l.llliinliiilitiil Angry.
Queen I.illuoknhini was a very angry
woman when at 4 p. in. Saturday she re
turned to the throne , whore were assemble' ij. ! ,
with most of the native members of the
legislature , the cabinet , the governor of
Oahu , the young princess , Chief Justice
Judd and Justice Blekerton. the staff , the
ladies of the court , the Kahili bearers , etc.
She ascended the dais and spoke substan
tially as follows :
"Princes , Nobles and Hopresentativcs ; :
I have listened to thousands of the
voices of my people that Irivo comu to
me , and I am prepared to grant
their request. Tlio present constitu
tion Is full of defects , as u10
chief Justice hero 10IS
will testify , as [
questions regarding It have so often come
before him for settlement. It is so faulty
that I think a new ono should ho granted.
I have prepared one In which the rights d.of
all have been regarded constitution suited
to the wishes of the people. 1 was ready and
expected to proclaim the now constitution
today , as a suitable occasion for it , and thus
satisfy the wishes of my dear people. Hut
with regret I say I have met with obstacles
that prevent it. Heturn to your homes
po.iceably and quietly and continue to look
toward mo and I will look toward you.
Keep me over in your love. lam obliged 111.to
postpone the granting of the constitution fern
n few daj s I must confer with my cabinet ,
and when after \ou return home , you may
see It , receive it graciously. You have my
love , and with sorrow I now dismiss you. "
Mr White replied , thanking the queen
and assuring her of the love of the people :
and that they would patiently wait until
their desires should 1m fulfilled , to which
the queen responded with thanks and left
the thi-nn 9 room. Mr. Ivamnamaiio then
b g.in In a loud voice an inllammatory >
harranguo , which was suppressed. Ho de
ll manded the lives of the members of the
cabinet who had opjmsed the wishes of her
majesty and d < vlireoi that ho thirsted for
their blood
AildroisiMl the Crowd.
A few moments later the queen went out
upon the uppev balcony of the palace and ad
dressed the crowd. aden
She told them that on
account of tno prr.ldy of her ministers she
was unable to give them ttio constitution
which she had promised them , but she would
take the earliest opportunity of procuring It
for them. The crowd then ij.ivo throe
cheers
Hoprcsontativo White then proceeded teL
tbo stops of the palace and began an address.
He told the crowd that the queen and cabi
net had betrayed them , and that , instead ibiof
going home peaceably , they should go to the
Iialaco and kill and bury her. Attempts
were made to stop him , which ho resisted , ,
saving ho would never close his month until
n now constitution was granted. Finally ho
yielded to the expostulations of Colonel
Boyd and others , throw up his bunds and
declared that he was uu" for the present.
After this the audience dispersed.
News was brought to the cltUons down
toM-n that the attempt to carry a revolution
through had , for the moment , failed. How
ever , appreciating the fact that \\w \ \ trouble
had only just begun , they did not dispense ,
but continued the consideration of the
euicrtcucy. A committee of public safety
I ' was formed , lo which furlher consideration
oft the ! situation was dolcgato.1 , after which
tlio meeting , which had been animated by
one heart and ono soul from the beginning ,
dispersed.

About fi o'clock In the aflernoon iho
United States steamship Biston landed
about.'WO men. Eiohmanhad two belts of
cartridges around hi * waist and was armed
with a rlllo. The men marcho.l up to Iho
oftlco of the consul general of the United
States , whore a halt was made. The marines
were detached and sent : o the American
legation on Nuuatia avenue , while the sailors
man-hod out along Merchant street with
two Galling guns and made a Irilt In front
of J. Hopi > or'.s residence. About sundown
they moved to tlio grounds of J. B. Ather-
ton * , and after u stay of several hours re-
returned to Arlon hall , whore they camped
over night.
A political meeting was held last iilht at
tlio government building , at which , besides
the cabinet , Paul Nouman , marshal , was one ,
U. W. Wllcox , 1C. C. MoFarlan were present ,
besides some others.
The editor of the Bulletin , Dan Logan , was
sent for. Friends of tlio queen claim that
her actions of Saturday are due lo advice
furnished by ICahima. The members of the
Hill Kalalalna were angry enough to tear
Iho queen to pieces when they learned she
had weakened and would not give them their
new constitution. They were an abject look
ing lot as they marched on Ilingstrcot. The
revolutionist party held a meeting at that
place Sunday morning.
Aitlird fur Their 1'rn.ver * .
Tlio queen called In the Hawaiian pastors ,
who wore present , to pray that aho mh/ht
keep her throne and told them that evil
minded foreigners were tryln ? to take it
away from her.
The early arrlvnl of the United States
steamship Boston cut an Important figure In
the proceedings of Saturday. In the minds
of many the presence of the warship prc-
vented the promulgation of the constitution.
The now instrument , which the revolution
ists wisli to proclaim , U really the old con
stitution , which gave so much power to the
sovereign. One of the officers of the house-
bold guards was heard to say that they had
enough arms and ammunition to 1:111 every
Paolo in tno country.
Hopresentativo Kaukamano stood on the

Further particulars of the revolution are
as follows : All day Tuesday , the ISth , the
community was in a slate of expectancy ,
looking to the committee of public safety to
do something to end the state of tension and
to secure the rlghtsof all the citizens against
encroachment , once and for all. The com
mittee in tlio meantime was not idle , but
was Incessantly occupied completing its or
ganization and perfecting final nrr.ingomon.ts .
necessary to the proclamation of a provisional -
visional government , and its protection by an
armed force.
At about : i.TO : o'clock an attempt was made
by three native policemen to arrest tlio
progress of n wagon which was being driven
up Fort street by Mr. Bonncr and Mr. Good.
Those in charge of tlio wagon resisted the
attempt of the ollleers to arrest Its course.
One of the oil lee rs making a motion to draw
a revolver , Mr. Good drew his own , and
calling attention to the fact that he was
justified in the shooting , ho tired , seeking ,
however , to avoid the infliction of a dungcr-
ous v/ound. The wagon pursued its way ,
followed by a policeman in a hack.
This episode precipitated the movement.
The citizens hurried to Borelania street
armory , where they \\ero formed into com
panies , armed and marched to the govern-
ment building.
Ktmil Hit ) I'rocliimntlon of Itrvolutlim.
In the meantime the committee of public
safety , accompanied by members of the gov
ernment about to ho formed , proceeded to
the government building. They were en
tirely unarmed. Arriving at the government
building the committee inquired for the cabi ! l-
not , but the ministers were not to bo found.
They then demanded and received of id.r. .
Hassingor , possession ol the building. The
party now proceeded to the front steps , an ' ,
hi the presence of a rapidly Increasing '
crowd , road the proclamation. Before the
reading of Iho proclamation was completed ,
volunteers from tiio Hitlcs armory began leer
assemble in force. The grounds of AlicolanI '
hall were cleared and a guard set at all the
gates.
The provisional government then sent for
the late ministers , who were at tlio police
station. Two of them came , and llnally all
four repaired to the
headquarters of the now )
government , whcro a formal demand was
made upon them for possession of tlio pollco
station.
The ex-ministers asked for time to delibar-
uio upon this demand. They went to the
palace in company with Samuel M. Damon
and held a consultation with Queen Mlliuo-
kalani. The result was a compromise propo
sition , which.was rejectcn by the provisional
government.

The late queen and cabinet llnally yielded

them that resistance was no longer feasible.
The provisional government assumed
formal control of Iho palace and barracks.
The ex-queen retired to her private residence
at Washington Place and the government
granted her an honorary guard of sixteen
men. The household guards were paid off toss

HBIIM.V , Jan. 21 [ New York Her.ild Cable
Special to TUB HUB. ] Berlin was rl.ht
busy celebrating the Ulth birthday of the
kaiser yesterday. Berllncra , from all ap
pearances , think a good dc-il more of their
kaiser's goburstag than they did of the wed
ding ' which
, latter event was looked upon
with a certain amount of inliflferonco. In
tlio palace a perpetual fete was If-pt up all
day. Those who had come for the wedding
stopped for the birthday festivities. The
llrst ' incident of the nurniug. at half past ,
was the trooping in of the royal children to
greet their father. I had a good opportunity
of watching the bays at the wedding , and I
am parfectly agreed with my neighbor , who
remarked that , young as they are , they have
tlio same military appearance that char
acterizes tlio kaiser. They are well built ,
though plight , lads and hold themselves
splendidly.
At S o'clock there are no lio-abe.ls at the
palace. ' The choir boys of the palace , who
wear curious brown uniforms and broad ,
black caps , were ushered Into the royal
presence and s inif. Trumpet blasts were
sounded from the tops of ono of the seliloss
cupolas anil two of tlio r.tthnus. During Iho
whole morning ICiiiserVilhelm rcc"ived tlio
royalties , seml-royalllos and high function
aries , all of whom came in carriages of state
to present their congratulations.
( i.ty llolldiv : Crowds.
Tlio streets were gay with bunting and
were tilled with i eoplo. thous inds upon
thousand.- ' having come in from adjacent
villages | and towns. At half-past 1" the
crowd was at Its greatest , and the cafes ,
which . , abound on Untcr den Linden , were
filled with students and cadets. The cadets
on | this one day in Ihe year may frequent
the cafes orwithausor and make the most of
it , The broad pavements were crowded to
overflowing. At this moment tlio kaiser , in
an open carriage , drove down Untcr den
Linden to the park and to the Cliarlotlcn-
burg p'llaco. Thuro ho left the carriajfo and
' took a walk around the park. Then ho
'drove to Grcnwald , returning lo Iho schloss
at half-past . All along the road he was
warmly and enthusiastically greeted.
The kaisorino , Prince and Princess Henry ,
and nearly all the rest of the royalties and
they abound now in Berlin drove and
walked about.
The kaiser's birthday was not celebrated
as a business holiday , but was a holiday in
tiled to He iidrcat Day.
Formerly the kind's birthday was cele
brated with tlio utmost enthusiasm , cannon
salutes were iired , gun and pistol shots were
lot off , fireworks were exploded turl a good
deal of liorso play was indulged in. But tlio
scones became- too rough and llreworks and
shooting were forbidden. The Berliners re
sented tno order and indulged themselves
more than ever. The police and military
interfered and a revolt was the result , know tyMl
as tliofireworks revolt of 18.V ; ) during
which there was much bloodshed and the
lamps and windows of the Frederick palace
were broken , as well as all the lamps in
Untcr den Linden. From that time the
royal birthday has not been celebrated as liea
business holiday.
In the evening there was a grand banquet
at the palace. I will not glvo you the names.
It would bo merely repeating these of the
royal wedding party. Afterward the entire -
tire party proceeded in stale to the opera
house , where a gain performance was iivcn. ;
( .iraf von Hockberg , superintendent of the
opera , led iho way into tlio royal box , which
occupies the center of the thoatcr exactly
opposite the slago , and is largo enough to
scat sixty. The seats are roomy arm chairs ,
covered with crimson. A handsomer royal
box there is not in Europe. Count von Hocli-
berg in full uniform of white , covered with |
orders of merit and distinction in the mili
tary service , entered the box first. At once
tlio whole audlonco stoo.l up and remained
so until tlio royal party was sealed.O The
performance consisted of tlio third act of
"The Molstorsingcr , " with entirely now
scenery according to the setting of Mine.
Wagner. This was followed by tlio famous
Vicnoso doll ballet , one of tlio prettiest and
most original ballets ever put on the slago
and admirably done for Berlin.
There was a largo dinner party at heat
Club von Berlin , an 1 , for the matter of that ,
at almost every club here.
TnlliliiK About Wedding * .
So far the greatest Interest has been mani
fested hero in tlio doings of Hie czarowitcli.
Mist people Insist tint ho b hero specially
lo seek a wife. In Ibis respect Princess
Alex Victoria of Hcss.i , youngest daughter
of tlio grand duke of Hesse , L'l years of age < ,
and very pretty , is s.\l I to bo very much In
love with the czarewltch. Whelher his
'flection is returned It is illllltilt to s.iy , as
the czarowitch has shown moro than coyness
in replying to many advances which have
been made him In tlio matter of malrlnuiiial
alliance. Ono of ihe sisters of the princess
Is nnrried to Prince Henry of Kussh , and
another to Grand Duke Sergius of Kussia.
A highly interesting wedding took place
today at midday in the English church at
Mont Bijou , between Major Ed ward lee ,

Sehauinburg-Llppe. . and Miss Edith Stone ,
daughter of the late James Fauko Stone and : i

est and most impular young ladles. The

the Dragoons. The service was conducted
kv H"v. Mr. Owen , The bridesmaids were
Miss Emma and Margot Stone and Miss '

now a very interesting exhibition of ex-

BEHI.I.V , Jan. 28. The Iteiclistag commit
tee on the army bill has concluded the gen
eral debate on that measure , and today pro
ceeded with the translation of tlio several
clauses. Tlio closing debate showed an in
creased disposition to accept the govern
ment's proposals , tlio only material opposi
tion being offered by : i faction Of the center
party , led by Dr. LlelHjr j .
Baron Stifmin said-he l lieved the govern
ment would offer a compromise that would
bo acceptable to the' ' frcisinnigo party ,
though It could not try to make terms with
the socialists.
Chancellor von Caprlvi once moro appeared
before the committee and sx | > ko in favor of
the bill , urging that It bo approved In Its en
tirety. The measure , ho said , was not in
tended to a ert a momentary danger of an
acute nature. It aimed to make suitable
provision for a state of things which lie
must describe as a persistent , permanent
danger.
Ciincrduil AllTlicy Conlil.
Dr. Lieber reaffirmed that it was impossi
ble for His party to concoJo moro than it did
already done , whereupon the chancellor
curtly closed the discussion by expressing
the hope that a consideration of the clauses
of the bill would convince the centrists of
the necessity of supporting the measure.
The members of the committee concur in
tlio opinion that the chancellor's words men
aced an appeal to the country if the bill was
not passed by the Kcichstag.
The budget commission of the Hcichstag is
now rapidly voting the new credits for the
navy under the impulse of Chancellor von
Caprivi's directions that there is danger of 'a
coalition of the fleets of Franco , Kussia and
Denmark.
Though tlio reception , of the czarowitch
here is not likely to modjfy the grouping jhof
the powers or reverse the policy of Kussia , it
is decidedly a temporary check to the French
party at the c/ar's court. Dispatches re
ceived tonight from St. Petersburg testify tea
a marked change in the tone of the scmi-
ofilcial press toward Germany.

The impression that tlio czarowitch cre
ated on diplomats and members of tlio Im
perial household during his visit is the re-
vcrsn of what is recorded by the semi-
oflk'ial press. The closest observers say that
the cordiality was all on the side of Emperor -
peror William , whoso expansion toward his
guest was met by a formal politeness.
Prof. Koch returned tonight from Halle.
where lie has been investigating the outbreak -
break of cholera. Experts at the Koch in-
stttuto report that tlio water used at the
Xeitleben lunatic asylum-after it was passed
through filter beds , disclosed the presence cdof

about to visit Altona and Hamburg , where
anxiety regarding a fresh outbroik of chol

No fresh cholera cases \vcro reported at

ported , an Altona workman In the sell

PAUH , Jan. M. [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to Tun HUE. ] This has been a
very exciting week. M. Dovello , minister of
foreign affairs , has bcim passing through
panics of which the public lias had no Idea.
Besides the Panama canal scandal the ministers
:
isters have boon busy with foreign affairs.
Wo have had two things weighing heavily
on - us. The first was the affair with Eng-
hind ' , the second the affair with Austria.
. England , as you know , has taken a position
In Egypt directly contrary with treaties
made with Europe , and in which Franco is a
co-signatory power. It is quite evident that
in the discussion with Prince Abbas , the
khcdlvo , tlio question is not as to meio
ministerial changes , but as to whoso hand
shall llnally grasp Egypt. It is no longer a
question of a protectorate , but of an
nexation , ipuro and simple. Besides , they
want to know whether Franco cau tolerate
such an Illegal proceeding.
England ] speaks of tlio interests of civiliza
tion. The question is , are tlio interests of
civilisation really in the game ? It is el ear
that the English occupation of Egil't is ab
solutely contrary to the desires and wishes
of tlio Egyptian population , as has boon
proved by the demonstration at Cairo.
Three ( ireitt INnvcru liivoltnl ,
Are not all the treaties regulating the
Egyptian ' ' question , and making her forever
the vassal of Tin-key in force ? England
cannot by herself tear up all those treaties.
There is now an Intcrchni.go of
notes between Hie two countries' ,
and they have taken on a sharp
character , France , who lias the right
on her side , is now beginning to understand
that she made an error in not entering
Egypt in 1831. England , who Is strong
In the right of possession , will not even
think of evacuation. - Because Lord Kosc-
bcry , the British .minister for foreign af
fairs , has strong German sympathies , it Is
possible that the hand of Germany'may bo
seen In tills aggressive political move of
England.
The same reflection may bo made as ro-
gards'lho quarrels sought by Austria this
iss
week. Count Hoyos , the Austrian ambas
sador here , has reproached Franco with tlio
articles appearing in tlio Pans newspapers ,
alleging that they were injurious 9.to
Austria. Count Hoyos , who has tow
been eight years in France , knows
that the government can do nothing in
this matter. There are no press laws in
France , It was thought at first that the
complaints were not serious , but Count
Hoyos has returned twlcu to the charge , de
manding the second time that apologies ebc
made , when he knew the ih'csent character
of Austrian diplomacy.
No one can believe that such a move was
inspired by Austrl i. There must bo other
influences at work and it is thought that
they are German. This is Iho belief In
Inn
France , where public opinion is always In
clined lo decide an neeus-ition against the
neighboring empire ; but what we must em-
pluisi/.o and which wo beg the citizens of the
great American republic to believe , is thut
no provocation has come from France , which
is desirous of peace.
Sml Diiyn for Knincpt
From the very beginning of that sad I an-
ninn affair France has been covered with In
sults from the press of every land , which
does not discriminate between the guilty few !
and the great mass of honest Frenchmen.
Is it necessary to protest against such in.us-
lice ? Franco wants peace. Franco is 1Sin
bad condition , interiorly , and yet from all
sides comes a bitter attack upon her.
You Americans , removed far from us , in-
joying liberty and without Jealous and nm -
blttercd neighbors , you ought to understand
how wo suffer. Sometimes I think that tl lo
trials of Hits week will not bo renewed , but
the situation cannot become worse.

besides a warrant to take your master before

Only half convinced , the concierge asked
to see the official scarf. Tlio self-styled

and showed the red , white and blue silk , and
then told the oilier three to put handcuffs on
the eonclorgo and his wife. At that mo

Special to Tin : Hnrj.J Count Walderseo
caused a great surprise by a speech delivered
at Altona on the occasion of tlio kaiser's
birthday , in which lie came forward as a
warm advocate of tlio military bill , which
lie strongly urged ought to bo passed In the
interest of the maintenance of peace. The
general opinion previously was that
Wnldersoo was opposed to tlio bill. He
was in Berlin for tlio royal wedding.
This speech is tlio result of a long interview
with tiio kaiser. It clears the atmosphere
very much. The Tageblatt says the speech Is
of tlio highest interest , as Walderseo was
formerly opposed to the bill. The Vossische
/eitungsays : "Walderseo formerly said ho
would servo the emperor as a soldier , but
not as a confidant. Now it looks as though
.
it were otherwise as though ho considered
himself the successor to Caprlvi. "

Thurston , the chairman of the Hawaiian
commission , said that things were lu such a
position now that no party or class of resi
dents was fully capable of establishing a
state government and naturally eamo
to the United States. The condition
of affairs was much moro threatening
than was Indicated by the Hawaiian papers.
It was declared that the queen's intention
was to ultimately expel all the foreigners
from the country. The proposed disfran-
chiscment of all except the native born waste
to bo the first step. After expelling all the I
foreigners their property was to have been
confiscated. Property was protected
only by a volunteer force of
BIX ) men and marines and the
blue jackets from the Boston. It was
affirmed by Mr. Thurston that if this gov
ernment failed to annex the Islands ft' '
would bo left open to anarchy. The old
treaty between Franco and England made In
1HCJ recognized the independence of the
Islands.
England under that treaty cannot annex ,
nor can France. Tito United States at th
time refused to bo bound or to Join in the
treaty , but simply recognized the independence
enceof the government. llS
Mr. Thurston said further : "The last leg
islature was the most corrupt ever known.
It passed a lottery bill and an opium bill. To
crown all , the queen wanted to promulgate I'oa
constitution to disfranchise foreigners , abel 1-
ish the Nobles and abrogate the supreme ;
court , and , in short , give all the power into
the hands of the natives. The intelligent
people of the islands , as well as the for
eigners , said that this would not do , and re
solved that the only source left open was an
nexation to America. I have but little
doubt that this country will accept the
Islands. If they do not the people will
surely turn to England , who will bo only too
glad to accept us. "

SALT T KK CITY , U. T. , Jan. 18. The Tribune -
buno will print in the morning a page riof
interviews on the statehood question. It
includes talks with the first president and
twelve apostles of the Mormon church , ho
answer ten questions , reiterating former i
claims that tlio church leaders as such
are out of politics , anil say that
their people have progressed with others.
They say that they do not ilaim to control
the members of their church in polities ' ,
that I they are satisfied with the free school
system now in vogue and they don't know
that any material change would ho desira
ble. They say that the animosities of l"lhe
past are subsiding and both parlies under
stand and appreciate each other better.
A number of business men pronounce
themselves in favor of statehood , as do Cniof
Justice Xtikc , Colonel Uonniillan , late presi !
dent of tlio Chamber of Commerce , and SlW. .
E. Hubbard. the new president. Both
gentlemen favor statehood , claiming it
would bring in eastern canlta ) . J. E. Uooley ,
a banker , 6t > | ioses statehood , demonstrating
that it would largely increase the taxation ,
and sajlng that no eorresimndlng benefit
would result. A largo number of other busi
ness men , including Banker McConnick ,
take the same view. O. W. Powers , ! hood
leader of the liberal party , opposes htatehood
as meaning simply a iviurn to church rule
and the re-establishment of woman suffrage "
to make that control sure. Ex-Mayor Scott
says the same , and many others endorse

LINCOLN , Tseb. , Jan. 28. [ Special Telegram
to Tun Bun. ] Tlio work of tlio political pro
curers is in full blast. Tlio potent oil room
in full sway and .ho mercenaries whoso work
It is to debauch members of the legislature ,
have settled iiown to th"lr nefarious busi
ness in dead earnest. An oil room lias al
ready been established in the state house ,
and the path to it has become familiar to
more than ono legislator , who bids fair to bo
a willing visitor to tlio seductive wiles
of the
professional monopoly
cap
pers. It is located on the third
floor , near tlio west end of the build
ing , and the door leading to It Is just at the
right of the entrance to the senate gallery.
In it is a full stO'-k of wines , liquors and
cigars , which were taken there last Thurs
day night several hours after sunset. The
individual < in charge is Uobort Emerson of
Otoo county , who was appointed by the sen
ate to the position of Janitor on the recoin-
mendation of Senator Ilabcock. He is as-
s'sted in the work of ladling oit | liquid en-
tcrtainment to the legislative visitors by a
young man named Deems , who acted as
stenographer ( | In the gubernatorial ofllco dur
ing the incumbency of ex-Governor Hoyd ,
but who was recently let out of a job by
the change In the administration. The
apartment is known as Hancock's oil room ,
and there Is Indubitable proof at hand re
garding the goods there on tap to show that
the place is not improperly designated. It
is stated that Babcock lias offered to take
the contract to kill all bills unfavorable to
corporations , and tint ho has fairly good
facilities for so doing , there is little room to
doubt.
"Vmtilervoiirt'rt Host "
But the man of absolutely immaculate gall
is Paul Vandorvoort , ' who , under the pre
tense of being hero In Iho Interest of the
Industrial legion , of which ho Is tha
more or loss illustrlo-is comniaiider-m-
chief has opened an oil room at
tlio. Llii'Jell hotel , whcro ho is daily
and nightly engaged In corrupting members
in order that ho may fasten his digital
clamps upon them when anti-monopolist
bills comu up for passage. Ho has already
cndi'ivorcd to secure the assistance of other ?
In tliis work , and lias stated to several of
the workers who were engaged with him ,
two years ago that ho had made nrrnnge-
ments with the telephone- company to pay
their expenses during the session.
It is known that ho has offered the ser
vices of tlicso Individuals In advance and
tried lo make terms with certain corpora-
tlons for their services at so much per
month , while afterward endeavoring to get
them to work for their expenses. In this
way ho would bo able to pocket the money
paid by the corporations for the work of
others.
On the day before the departure of Mr.
Oxnard of Grand Island lie went to the beet
sugar prince and demanded the sum of foOOa
month , expenses for the work of himself and
two assistants in the interests of the boot
sugar bill.

He uses his connection with the Industrial
legion as a cloak to cover up his real opera
tions. Ho points with apparent pride to u ,
clause In the constitution which provides
that the name of any member who betrays
tlio party or sells out ono of its candidates
shall bo at once forwarded and published to
every branch of the legion in the country ,
and pompously announces that It was duo
solely to Ills work that It was placed there.
It is his fond anticipation that In
case ho Is charged with corporation lobbying
at the conclusion of the session lie will bo
able to hold up his right hand and swear j
that he never asko 1 a member to vote for or
against n bill , hoping thereby to convince
independents of his uprightness and Integ
rity , when as a matter of fact ho has covered
up his tracks by securing others to do the
work for him.

chased with tlio money of the telephone
company , porfoiming this work through the
agenc-y of S. M. Wildman of Culbcrtson It
is charged that lie Is at the present lime
using the money of the telephone company
in tlio Interest of his own senatorial boom ,
and that he has the voles of several of the
independents promised lo ho delivered when
they break on Powers.

It is stated that Edgorton has withdrawn
from the senatorial race in the Interest of
Vandcrvoort who , in return , proposes to
make him organi/er of the Industrial legion
of the state of Oregon. Both Edger-
ton and Vandervoort have been
busily engaged in circulating the
story of their alleged enmity to each other ,
but It Is a well known fact that the only
difference between thorn was as to their re-
Bpcctlve candidacies for tlio scnaloridilp.
Edgorlon charged his fellow Independent
with selling him out when a candidate for
the supreme bench , and Vundervoort retali
ated by going to Omaha last
Saturday and returning with u
letter written to him by Edgcrtcn
last August , while Yandervoort was stump-
Ing Oregon in the interest of the national
populist tlcki-l , in which Edgcrlon de
nounced Die Independent party In terms of
the most shocking vllencss , and which
/would furnish amphs grounds for criminal
action for violation of the poslal laws. Tills
