SAxFiuxrisco , Cnl. , April 23.-Tho bnrk- cntlno IniiBiird arrived from Honolulu to night , bringing mlvlecs up to April li. ! The lenilltitf event since the last letter to tlio Associated rcss was tlio supposed wholesale attempt to poison the soldiers anil members of the National &uird. ; On the night of April 11 the soldiers at the barracks wore taken with vomiting spells. Surgeon ItodRcrs was hastily summoned , anil found that the men evinced signs of poison ing. The men were so distressed as to bo obliged to take to their cots. In the meantime a report came from the govern ment building , where company A , of the Na tional guards Is stationed , to the effect that a number of men thtiro were suffering with vcru fits of vomiting. Dr. Dahl was summoned anil relieved the men as speedily as possible. In all , aoout sixty men , thirty at the barracks and thirty In companv A of the National guards , were rendered unlit for duty , but most of thorn will recover. Many theories to show how the men wcro poisoned wcro put forth , but when a cominlt- tee of Investigation had nnmplcil all the articles oaten by the men at thuir last meal , the causeof the men's misery was unknown. Some of the cooks arc royalists , and natur ally suspicion Is directed against them , and lilnts of u plot to exterminate the soldiers arc made. The royalists are indignant at such a charge. Mny licstoro the guccn. The flutter of excitement caused by the return of I'aul Nciiman and Prince David , envoys of the queen , to Washington , has passed away and has left nothing apparent ns the substantial result of their mission. Three times in as many days the report has been circulated that the dry and hour had been fixed for the restoration of the queen. The queen's party does not appear inoro hope ful with the continued delay , hut say the only thing for the United States to do is to restore the status quo. 'iho letter from Commissioner Thurston to ox-Minister ( 'olhurn , urging the latter to do all In his power to forward the annexation cause , Is being quoteby ! them as evidence of weak'ncss. Thurston. It i.s now expected , will remain In Washington us the Hawaiian minister to succeed Mott Smith , whom the provisional government has asked tc resign. Chief Clerk Ilaskins of the foreign office Is prominently mentioned for the cuu- sul generalship at San Francisco. Minister Strvcm Coining llninr. The published statement that United States Minister Stevens would relinquish his position and return homo May 'J4 , is n further source of detraction to tlio antl- nnnoxatlonists. The name of his successot is awaited with interest. When asked by an Associated press rep resentative If there was any truth in the re port that , ho intended leaving for homo on the steamer Australia , which leaves here April 21 ! , Mr. lilount replied In the negative. "My length of stay hero is indefinite. II may bo two months ; it may bo tlireo months. If 1 were In the states , " he continued , " 1 frankly say to you I would talk inoro freely , but hero 1 do not wish to assist in propaga ting any rumors. " When asked U his position were more clearly defined , If it would not assist to prevent vent many rumors ho said ho was not gtvhu himself any trouble about that. "I suppose I should have iniido a speech al the lowering of the flag , hut 1 am not makliif any speeches or issuing any pyrotcchnli proclamations. " The commissioner would not intimate tlu character of the report ho would formulate and said ho had made no statement for pub licatlon and would make none. JCIA.S/I.S OATTltKMKX IX AllMS.

Serious trouuli and perhaps bloodshed is threatened bocausi of the attempted transferring through Lyon : county of a load of Texas cattle , which ar rived hero yesterday. Last year thousand ! of dollars In cattle word lost by the farmer of this vicinity by the spreading of Texa fever among tholr cattle , brought hero fron Texas.

The cattlemen are Just a determined that they will land their load a the point for which they are destined , flf tec miles southwest of this place. The cattle wore unloaded last night at th stockyards hero for the purpose of feedin and watering and remained in the yards al dny , and all day the city was llllcd wit' ' cattlemen and farmers , determined that th cattle should not bo driven through Lyon county. The sanitary commissioners re fused to hold the cattle , and this ovenini they wcro loaded Into the cars and startci for Bazaar.

Olvo Mr. Morrison's Devil his duo , nnd the presentation mint bo styled admirable. Omaha theater goers had a recent opK | > r- tunlty of seeing "Faust" presented In Ger man , the poem-drama being irlvcn almost In Its entirety as written by Ooetho. Mst night's performance at the Doyd differed much from the work of the Germanla com pany , and It must bo said that Mr. Morri son's version of t ho Immortal story makes the much more effective stage play. As a stage production Mr , I/owls Morri son's "Faust" deserves much praise. The scenery Is c-lalwrale and beautiful , and the mechanical and light effects are unusually excellent. Throughout the action nil the re sources of stagecraft are combined to Im press with the necessary sense of diablerie , and the effect i ? successful in the extreme. The Brocket ! scene Is ono of the most offtet- Ivo over seen In Omaha. Nothing ever at tempted on the stage could much surpass this picture , which finely portrays the riot of the poet's .fancy. There is an air of real ity about It quite startling , and so cleverly Is It produced that never a thought of stagl- ness obtrudes. The scene has a horrorabout It , too the weird flro balls scorching their way among the mountain peaks , the shrieks of thu damned , the awful glooms , the reveal ing gleams , the eerleness of It all climaxed in a startling real rain of lire. A marvelous scene , the apotheosis , bus a beauty of another sott and one eminently satisfy inn. Mr. Morrison s Mephisto is a line perform ance alternately SL'rdonic nnd suave , malig nant and amuslmr. Mr. Morrison docs not iiltroduco the traditional limp of 'Mopltis- topheles , and his devil is quite a polished gentleman , just such a devil as Heine , des cribed as having met at the Spanish ambas sador. The rhymed lines in the part are par ticularly well spoken , not a point being missed and the value of every word and phrase adequately balanced Mr. Morrison's company is a particularly good ono all round. Miss Florence Roberts' Marguerite Is veracious to a degree. Just the maiden the poet immortalized. Mr. Owens makes a quito acceptable Faust , and though Mr. Ljuvrcnee is somewhat overweighted In the part of Valentino bo Is not altogether un successful in his presentation of that noble young man. The minor parts are all in care ful hands. The crowds are capitally man aged , the music adds much to the effective ness of the various scenes , and all in all Mr. Lewis Morrison's "Faust" is a production and a performance that deserves by earning it the greatest measure of success. "A llri-c-zy Time" at thn I'.irimm. Fltz and Webster In "A Breezy Time" filled the Farnam Street theater 'at both performances yesterday and entertained their audiences with a pleasing combination of fresh spontaneous humor and creditable musical and dancing specialties. The per formance Is on the usual farce comedy order , but is not marred by any noticeable repeti tion of time-worn effects. There is no plot to speak of , just enough to string the suc cession of laughable situations together , but there is no limit to the funmnking abilities of the company and the performance goes with a snap that adds much to the general effect. The humor is exception ally new and includes a number of very funny hits. The musical features are better than the average and a number of them had to bo repeated several times before tlio audience was satisfied. Tlie tennis quintet presented an old specialty In a now garb which made it as good as now and the cneoro was responded to with a mandolin quintet which was equally pleas ing. Mr. Fit/ and Miss Webster in their musical specialty given during the last act fully deserved thuir favorable reception and repeated encores and the character special ties of Mr. Bruuo and Mr. Van Tiber were worthy of praiso. Walter C. Mack made a hit in a very funny part and the other char acters were all in capable hands. "A Breciy Timo" will remain for three more nights and Wednesday matinee . LANDED IN JAIL.

Do Sola Meiides , prominent rabbN , from their pulpits yesterday. In vigorous tones they declared that a number of "brainless youths" in this club on account of race prejudice had sought to heap. Indignity upon the Hebrews of America. They declared that the blackballing was un- American , iin-Ohrlstlan and reflected upon the enlightenment of our country. Said Kabbl Bonjamln : "Tho Israelite who applied for admission to the club Is a born American and a graduate of Harvard col lege. The action of the men who black balled him was unmanly , un-American and un-Chrlstlan. But do not pay any attention to the utterances In the Hebrew press of the city , which would make you believe that this is only tlio beginning ot a movement against the Jews of this city. It Is not so ; on the contrary , It Is only a small ruuimint of Ignorant prejudice that existed toward these of our faith and toward the enlighten ing influence of education.

A .Marvelous Arrfi , Itlrgilfn ; ; tlio Vlrglniai Wonder. While the natural bridge of Virginia lias a worldwide reputation , few arc aware that Arizona can lay claim to ji curiosity of the same order that easilj rivals HB eastern cousin , both in dimen sions and in the grandeur of its adjacent scenery. The great natural bridge o : Arizona , distant as it is from tlio trans continental lines of travel , has escaped thus far , the initials of the tourist ant the posters of the patent medicine ad vertiser. It is situated on Pine creek , i tributary of the east fork of the Verde , in nearly the geographical center of tlu territory , and is at the head of TonU basin , a region more famous for Iniliar fights and cowboy feuds than for the beauties of its natural scenery. On a recent trip through Ton to basin the St. Louis Republic correspondent visited a mining camp only seven miles distant from this great natural curiositj and , with a companion , availed hlmsell of the opportunity to see it.Vo wen nt the Gowan mine and , saddling oui horses one lazy afternoon , wo soon left seven miles of mountain trail behind us and found ourselves on the summit of t cypress-crowned hillwhoso steopeastori slope descended abruptly for fiO ( feet to u cozy little vallej hemmed in on the opposite side by the precipitous el Ills of a rough craggy mountain. , , flaking the dosceiv with dltliculty , wo reached a large love clearing containing an area of probably 100 acres , part of Which was cultivate ! and planted in corn. ' beans , potatoes am other vegetables. At the far side of tin clearing we saw a Ipg house half hiddei in the shade of a grove of walnut trees but could discover tmsigns of the bridge On inquiring from a man who ap preached us from tlio house , wo founi that wo were already standing on tin bridge and did noti know it , for thii beautiful garden spot is fringed on , nl sides by shrubbery,1-tail ferns and grace ful trees , and wo followed our guide 101 yards to the southland descended into i 'deep precipitous dnnon. beforewo wen made aware of the'HVigo ' funnel that mi turo had bored through the solid rocl beneath our feet. Witli the aid of a long flshlino we as cortuined the next day that the crown o the bridge at its southern spring is 3J : feet in height , with a span of eight' Joot , and a total width up and dowi stream of 1.10 yards.

Hut a full ideu of th grandeur of this beautiful arch is no obtained until one stands beneath it am looks aloft. Here , in thesemi-darknesj- the lofty roof is barely visible , and th huje pllinrs and groins of solid rook vanishing In Iho upper obscurity , make "tie Imagine himself in an Immuiiso cathedral. The underground trail to the other side is dilllcult , though not Impracticable , and winds between Im mense masses of slippery limestone and dark noels of unknown depth where a raof sunlight never Intrudes. The perpendicular walls of this cavern are pierced by scores of i-nves and grot tos , whoso numerous chambers and al leyways lead ono far Into the bowels of tlio superincumbent mountains. Some of these wo explored , and many others , whoso entrances cannot be reached with out ladders , have never bee n trodden by the foot of the white man. They are beautifully ornamented by nature with stalactites and stalagmites of every Im aginable form , and any article , whether of wood or of any other soft substance. if placed be neath the streams of limo water that constantly trickle from above , will in a short time . become petrified. Wo gathered several pine cones , sprigs of fern and branches of trees , which were perfect in form and outline , yet ap parently composed of solid rock. We also found many fragments of pottery and arrowheads , burned bones , etc. , showing that these eaVcs had in former times been occupied by Indians as well as by the prehistoric race that preceded thenl. Owing to the Impassibility of the canon , both above and below this grand and beautiful structure , it was impos sible to obtain u view which would give any Idea of it to one who had never vis ited it. With an open country below , from which one could view it at a little distance , it would be an imposing structure Indeed. It was discovered in 1880 by DUVO Gowan , a prospector , who lias since taken up the laud over the bridge , and raises fruit and vegetables for which he finds a market in the neighboring mining and cuttle camps. MILLIONS PILED UP. A ( illlllJISO Of till ) StOl'HJJO VllllIU III' ( iillitiil'HViilltli. : . From $ . -)00,000.000 to $ (500.000.000 ( worth of private property is constantly housed in a few great storage warehouses in this city , says the New York Advertis-or. Tliis property includes every conceiva ble article of a movable nature , from house furniture to diamonds. Tlio earlier storage warehouses wore places in which persons temporarily vacating their homes might store limiituro that they hid not care to rent or sell. The modern storage warehouse is not only thin , but to hundreds it is purse , jewel casket , treasure house and club. The safe deposit feature of the stor age business is a picturesque develop ment growing directly out of the enor mous wealth in few hands. A great trunk in the basement of ono such ware house bears upon its face the magic initials "C. V. " Its lists of depositors would sound like the roll of Ward Mc Allister's . One hnuo alone is be lieved to contain upward of $200,000.001) ) worth of property. Household furni ture and paintings and the like make up a small percentage of this sum. Down in the lowest basement are the silver vaults , the trunk rooms and rows upon rows of little safe deposit boxes. A box of five inches square and eighteen inches long may contain a fortune. Ono man whoso wealth is estimated at ? : > 0OUO.OaO ivnU-d such a box for his wife and placed in it 100,000 in IJiink of ling- land note- * , saying that whatever hap pened to him or the United States she was sure of a fortune. Tlio lady com plained , however , that the sum was iu- sullicient to maintain her in the state to which she was accustomed , and accord ingly the husband placed in tlio box deeds to a block of houses. Again the lady complained , and deeds to another block of houses were added. The My finally contained probably three times the value of Unoriginal SoOO.OOO. One of the most curious developments of the storage business is the use of these houses by wealthy women as jewel caskets. Many women in Now York possess jewels of such value that it is deemed unsafe to keep them at homo. According miladi rents a box in the safe deposit department of n storage ware house and deposits her jewels alongside tlio diamonds and mortgages of her neighbors. Some of the handsomest jewels that are seen on opera nights spend their days amid the gloom of the storage house vaults. At tlio storage house but two persons possess keys to the safe deposit vaults , and time locks make it impossible that they enter wive during business hours. Miladi receives two keys to her box , and she may give by power of attorney per mission of access to whom she will. When the jeweis are needed mihidi comes herself or sends her maid with proper credentials and a list of tlio jew els needed. They are carried home to Hash in the lights of a single entertain ment and are returned next day to the safe oblivion of the strong box. A list is kept of all persons having right of access to any private box. One woman of great wealth has three such boxes. To one she admits her husband , to another her maid , to a third access is denied to all save the lady herself. One man keeps as much as $15,000 in cash on deposit. Ho makes the box his great jiurao'and takes from it and replenishes it as ho would a pockotbook. Many depositors tre.it the storage house as though it were a club. They have thuir business letters addressed there and forwarded whithersoever they will. They make appointments and dis cuss business matters in tlio co/.y little nnvuto apartments provided for that purpose. Eneli apartment is furnished with chairs , desk , ink , pens , writing paper. When the depositor enters with his box he displays on the door of the compartment a painted sign , "Occu pied , " and , locking the door on the in side , is secure from intrusion. Two maiden Indies who hud thus retired presently called an employe of the hou.su to help them cut oil coupons. The polite man readily complied , but found himself busied for three hours in tlio task. Some ono at the storage house must know by sight every ono of the deposi tors , ana their number often runs up to 300. Some of them visit the house frequently ; snino only once in two or three years. This identifier at ono of thu great storage houses finds that ho can make sure of a person's identity if only the face bo exposed from eyebrow to 'tip of no e. Sometimes depositors amuse themselves by attempting to de ceive him. Ono man came after an ab sence of three years and denied his own identity. lie abandoned the pretense , however , when the identifier coolly do- cl'ired his readiness to take all risk of loss arising from the visitor's obtain ing access to liis box. A lady disguised herself in the dress of her sis'ter , a de positor , and tried to obtain access to the sister's box , but acknowledged the de ception when the identifier asked for her signature. Tilt , 1'crrliVlioH. . The engineering skill of the now world has evolved a rival to the far- famed KilTul tower , and one which is re garded as the greatest engineering triumph and novelty of modern times. It will be one of the features of tlio World's fair , and -100 men uro now woi king night and ilnj in order that it may lw dedi cated on the Mimu day that witnesses the Inauguration of thy greatest Inter national exposition in tln > history of the universe. A technical dns-cripti"U of this great evolution of euginooriin ; skill would 1111 pohiimiH , and yet bo unintelli gible to the average mliul. Anybody , however , can Imagine a mounter wheel , somewhat resembling a huge bicycle wheel , revolving between two towers , this wheel being 201 feet in height , and around It , suspended hot ween the two crowns by great steel trunnion plus , thirty-six passenger coache" . each as largo u * the ordlnurj Pullman palace car , and upholstered just as luxuriously. Hnch of those coaches will have a seating capacity of sixty poi-sons. Then Imagine this wheel , with its living freight to a total of U.lliO souls , slowly revolving. Imagine the si > nuton ! of being carried up 230 feet on one side , and of being slowly lowered on the other side , and of gaining during the trip a complete view of the World's fair grounds , a blrd's-eyo view of tlio whole of Chicago and of a goodly portion of Lake Michigan to boot. That Is the idea of the r'orrts wheel in a nutshell. The entire structure - turo Is of steel , and its construction will Involve the exponiliture of $100.000 be fore a single passenger has been carried. The great axle Is the largest piece of steel over forged , being ! ! ! ! Inches lu ill- nmo.ter.15 1-(1 ( foot long , and weighing . " > < ! tons. Tlio cost of this piece of steel alone was $ . ' { . * > ,000. The foundation of masonry which supports the towers goes thirty-live feet below the surface of the ground , and tapers to a height of eighteen feet. Tlio total weight of the structure Is1,1100 tons , but so liberal an allowance has been made for wind stresses that , in the opinion of eminent engineers , a tornado of 100 miles an hour would leave the wheel intact and unharmed. IJonco , passengers whihi indulging in their novel trip will be just as sii fe as though they worn riding to the grounds in a railroad train. Ar ranged In groups on the rods around the crown of the wheel will bo . ' 1,000 incan descent lights of various colors. Those will be alternately extinguished and re lighted us the \\heel revolves at night and the scene will thus resemble a mon ster display of pyrotechnics. Hy means of a platform at the base of the towers six curs can be loaded and unloaded sim ultaneously. The time required for a complete trip of two revolutions is twenty minutos. The immeiibo engines are duplicated so that no delay can arise from a disarrangement of the ma chinery , The wheel is located in the middle driveway of tlio Middle plais- unee. The Inventor is G. W.
