Indeed, it is not doubtful altogether. A Teleplayed at Happy Valley on Saturday last be- grapa ieporter favestigated the miller to-day, and found that person who claims to have been robbed was the paramour of a man who was hanged in May last for what is known sa the **Warchal murder." She has been living in a hat at Fan Pong-chl and it appears that some 3'men had quirrelled with kor, She gave taforma. tlon that three of them, one armed with s revolver and another with a sword, came to her place and stole two-boxes of old clothing and a jide bargle, valued in all at $6. Seeing that the spoil was 10 small and considering the woman's reputation, it is rexionably concluded that the affair was net so ferlous as was at first anticipated.

Latest news from Honolula is to the effect that the revised trans-Pacffc cabla schame promoted by Col. Spaulding and others has bean rejected by the Hawaiian Government. It appears that ex-Secretary Foster's errand to Hawall was to secure the franchise from Hawail After a good dost of discussion the ma't- came before President Dole and the Cabinet, with a sumber of lefsential clilzens, wasn Attorney Genees!

J. Hill, of the Great Northern Railroad, The company proposed that a contract be made with them, by which they were to have two years in which to obizin a coxcursion from the Japararò Giv. ernment and from the Governments of the Australian Colonies relative to the laying of cables from Hawall to Japan and to Australia. The company offered to purchase $375,000 of the new four per cent. Government bonds, persumably at par, and to losfelt $125,000 in cash in esse an inter-laland cable was not laid within a year. If the desired concessions. from either or both Japan and Australia were (obialoed within two years, the company would forfeit $125,000 in sich case If it failed to con- struct the cable within three years thereafter, On those lines bey asked 30 years' exclusive franchise. After general discussion a resolution was unanimously passed against grasting the franchise. Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs W. C.
