Hag Planted Britons to Trade Witt German for a SliM of East Bold Scheme of Browbeating. Associated Press to the NEWS.) BAR FBAKCISCO, Oct.

to advioes received here from the Gilbe: Islands, under date of August 8th, the British, who recently established a protectorate over the group in defiance the wishes, are determined to drive ont American merchants and to discriminate in favor or the Germans. By this mail a strong protest has gone to Washington from Capt. J. Kustel who represents Wightman Brothers, San Francisco, the leading American merchants of the Gilberts. was shamefully abased by Commander Davis, of the Royalist, who touk occasion to exyress his contempt for America and Americans.

King Teburrman drafted a letter to President Harrison, but at the last mo ment decided not to send it until further developments occurred. The letter says "I have written you two letters before telling yon and your cabinet at Wash ington I would like my land to have tbe American flag. I have not had any au- gwer from you, whether I will get it, but I wonld like to know why we cannot get it. Now an English man-of-war has come here and hoisted his flag on my land. I said to tbe captain, 'I have already given my land to the United bat he replied, 'well, we have come I told him I was waiting for an answer to any appeal for the American flag.

I would like yon to finally answer whether yom are going to let me have your flag or not?" The -King was treated very shabbily by Captain Davis, who did not wind his words. The Briton appeared particularly angry over the articles in Ban Francisco newspapers, which praised tbe King's conduct on his recent visit aud commended his desire to bring the islands under the American flag. He said: "The King's head is swelled; we will have to fetch him down a peg; damn him. I will show him who is master now. If he does not look sharp be will be out of his fat job.

He has got to look after business more closely and deal square or I will put an agent in his place and tbe King can live on taro as he used to do." Captain Davis, just before sailing away, received a petition from three German and him to compel the King to reduce taxes and to place some competent agent in charge. Heretofore most of the business of the islands has been done'by tbe United States consular agent, Rick, as the two big American firms of Crawford Co. and Wightman liros. have controlled the copra trade on the islands for twenty years. Now, however.

Captain Davis has issued on order that the natives shall pay no attention to Hick, bat shall deal directly with merchants. The cose of Captain Kustel is an aggravated one, as the British commander, Without giving him a hearing, decided against Knstel in a ease of alleged assault native. What made this procedure the more galling was that be cursed Kustel in the most blackguarding way and roundly damned all Americans who were on the islands. Kustel represented a big American firm and also owns important trading station of his own. The assault simply consisted in the capture of a native, who had deserted from Vis Bobooner after signing articles.

The native was a hard character who had been driven out of his own island for crime. It is common report at Butaribar that the British do not care for tbe Gilbert Islands, but will trade them to Germany fora slice of East Africa. What lends color to this gossip is tbe great exertions made by German merchants on the island to secure the native trade and the evident purpose of the British to drive out Americans. Capt. Davis is the most arbitrary Briton who has ever been known in the South seas.

He swears like a pirate and even In public assemblages every other word is an oatb. He cursed the King roundly, and his abuse of Captain Kustel was foul. All American prestige which had bean built up by enforcement of order and square trading will soon be blasted, as Davis openly insulted all Americans and advised the native chiefs to have nothing to do with them. i EOB8E TH1KVES OBUTEBATED.

Associated Press to the Niws.) BOSTON, Oct. 17. At the Trinity M. E. church, Charlestown, yesterday, Rev.

Dr. Parkhurst, editor of the '-Zion's Herald," delivered the address on "Co- Inmbus," which was a part of a bombshell to the assembled congregation, as the reverend gentleman assailed the character of the discoverer of America. Mr. Parkhnrst said in brief: "Columbus discovered America in 1492 America discovered Columbus in 1892, and the result of this discovery is grievously disappointing. Columbus died without a knowledge of the great world ho had discovered, and we have for four centuries been praising him without knowing any moreahont him than he did about the world he discovered.

I am exceedingly sorry to be obliged to say that Columbus will not stand the test of close scrutiny, and history shows that he does not deserve the admiring recognition he has been receiving for four centuries. I do not like to say it, bnt I can not do otherwise with loyalty to the truth. When I commenced to stndy him I was very much prepossessed in bis favor, but investigation shows me that at tbe beart he was a very bad man. In fact, I him the most consummate I have ever found in the history of the country. He made lying a fine art, and iractlced it all his life.

He professed to profoundly religions, when as a nut- ter of fact he was very far from a saint. "You can stndy his whole life and yon will find that it was one of avarice and ereed for gold. He did not only He himself to Ferdinand and Isabella, but he compelled his crew to lie also. It is savage but true and it is tbe truth we are after. Lying was not his worst trait either, for he was the first to establish slavery in America, which cursed the new country for centuries.

He was not benefactor, for all that he did was for He would not sail on his voyage until he was made an admiral by the £ing and received a promise of fabulons remuneration."

Raudenbush, First ward; Michael W. Reinoehl, Second ward; Milton Blonob, North township; Samuel Grob, Dethel township. Col.i. Frank Seltzer, Republican candidate District attorney, made the opening speech. He briefly contrasted the administrations of Harrison -and Cleveland, and showed the great difference between the two one going to the front when the nation's life was imperillsd, while the other sent a substitute.

Jfie denounced the Baker ballot aw having been im- from Australia, and closed by saying that he was proud of the Repnb- ican pflrty and its record, and esteemed au to be a member of such a party. Col. Seltzer's speech was well re- oeived and had the effect of putting the audience into a good humor for what was follow. The next speaker was the Hon. Chas.

Emory Smith, the able and brilliant editorof the Philadelphia "Press." To ay that it was a grand and eloquent speech is bnt a mild expression of it. the first words until the close it held tbe riveted attention of the large audience, many of whom were placed in uncomfortable positions on account of the crowded condition of the house. A number who came merely to get a limpse of the speaker and to hear his ipening remarks remained until the close and were sorry when it was over. The speaker after paying a neat tribute to tbe thriving Lebanon Valley, made happy and prosperous by the "merry music of tbe mills," called attention to unbounded prosperity that prevails everywhere. "General Prosperity" always leads to Republican success, whereas the Democratic party depends upon Vilnre and deception to help them win heir political battles.

He then discussed tbe tariff question and reciprocity in a clear, convincing manner and his arguments could not help but convince even the most skepti- The passage of the MoKinley tariff bill marks a new epoch in the history of inr country, just as the purchase of the Louisiana Grant, by Jefferson; the promulgation of the Monroe Doctrine by rlonroe; the Emancipation Proclamation by Lincoln, marked new epochs in our history In those days. Lord Salisbury's speech last Mav is a strong iroof that free trade is a failure even in England and the nations everywhere are ooking to a protective tariff for help. Chairman Lord having introduced the peaker as our late Minister to Russia, rlr. Smith said he would be pardoned or touching upon some of our trade re- ations with European countries. With an array of facts and figures that are incontrovertible he showed how our export rade has been increased and is sMll ncreasing until it has reached gigantic proportions.

The speaker closed with a beautiful and eloquent peroration which he gave a vision of the conn- ry'a bright and happy future nnder Re- mblican rule, or the woe and misery that wonld prevail if the Democrats came uto power, in the recital of which the audience was held spell bound. What we have here written is not to te- regarded in any sense as even a ynopsis of what the speaker said. His peech abounded in beautiful language, nspiring thoughts, convincing arguments, forcible illustrations, and to attempt a short summary of it would serve only to mar its force and beauty. By common consent the speech given Mr. Smith is regarded as one of the if not the best, ever delivered here a political campaign.

It was an able, bonghtfnl, dispassionate appeal to the reason and conscience of the voter, and innot help doing much good. The edi- or of tbe "Press" should take the stamp more frequently. General J. P. S.

Gobin, our candidate or State Senator, made a few concluding remarks, speaking with his accustomed learness and force upon what the Mc- Qnley tariff had already accomplished in pening foreign markets for our manufactures, and urging upon Republicans to remain true to the old party, after hich three hearty cheers were given. Tbe Perseverance band played several excellent pieces of music daring the evening. The campaign opened most auspicious-. ly and we trust that now the good work' the Hartman House. Why Grover is Supported by the Old Rebel Editors.

The old rebel newspapers in the Sontl are making their great fight for Cleveland on his "splendid pension as most of them term it. They tell the! with Aldai "in their midst' they no doubt speak with inside knowl if the Cleveland and Steven son ticket prevails in this campaign thi South need have uo fear on the pension question. They promise that the "national burden will be lightened, or, al least, will not be increased, as it is pretty sure to be if the Republicans retain their hold on the people's treasury." Mr. Stevenson himself has not hac much to say daring his tour of the cotton states regarding pensions, realizing perhaps the extreme delicacy of the subject from the Cleveland standpoint, bnt the southern editors, understanding bettor how to make voters for their party, are not hesitating to make a strong fight on this issue. They ignore the ridiculous force bill almost entirely, and give much valuable thought to what they regard as the burning question.

The Southern editors must be given credit for superior wisdom, for oo no other issue can the South he kept solid for the Cleveland-Calhoun party, and there are signs that even this may fail them this year. The vote in Alabama Is an important straw which indicates how the Southern breezes are blowing. At the same time the party of disloyalty and calamity is endeavoring to keep the south solid for Cleveland because of his unfriendliness to the soldiers who wore the blue and saved the Union. Whatever effect this unpatriotic electioneering method may have In the south it promises to keep the north solid for the party of progress and patriotism and insure the triumph of Harrison and Reid- GETTntG READY FOB THE SEASON. Quail and Rabbits Reported More Plentiful than tor Years.

The opening of the gunning season for partridges and rabbits, the first of November, is rapidly approaching, and sportsmen are busily engaged preporing for the event. Guns, dogs and the other accoutrements necessajy for this exhilarating sport, are receiving a thorough overhauling and are being placed in readiness for this event. The past season bas been an admirable one for tbe growth and advancement of all kinds of game and as a result the fields and woods throughout the county contain more rabbits and quail at this time than they have done for many years previous. It is not uncommon to walk through the fields and sprout land, even close to the city, and flush coveys of from 10 to S5 partridges, bat pheasants are scarce, and indeed are nearly exterminated in this county. Since the season Tor the latter bird opened the country has been invaded by gunnzrs, who, nnder the pretense of hunting this departed bird have no scruples against picking off the fat, plump quail as it rises np temptingly before them, and daily men can be seen returning home after nightfall with their shooting coat or game bags bulging with the weight of their illegal spoils.

Such men are not sportsmen aud are to be despised even more so than the pot hunter to which class they invariably belong. It is about time the Fish and Game association made an example of some of these men, as it will not be long before the partridge will follow in the wake of the pheasant to that great ocean of oblivion so far as this county is Independent. Bottling Establishment. Mr. Peter Haner, who for the past few years has been conducting bottling works in this city, has sold the same to Mr.

BROTHERS ARRESTED FOR ROBBER Implicated in a Stars Burglary at Ephrata- Htram Barrett Arrested on the Trai Below a Severe Souffi Hiiam is Arrested in Lebanon on Saturday Evening After a Lively Chase. All of last week the officers of this city were investigating the robbery which on Saturday night a week was committed in Ephrata, Lancaster county, on which occasion tbe general merchandise store of Mr. J. M.

Sohaeffer was broken in am robbed. One of the burglars in break lag the window must have out his hanc as blood was on the window. Last Saturday a week Harry Wagner came to Ira J. Light's livery stable for a that he was going to Myers town. After he had procured the team William Garrett and Dutchy Werne joined him and the trio drove to Brick ersville, Lancaster county.

The party returned to this city Sunday morning at -5 o'clock, with the horse almost dead, anc Ira Light went before Alderman Garrett and swore out a warrant for the arrest Wagner for a violation of the livery act and in default of bail he was committed to jail. Information had reached our officers of the robbery of the store at when it was discovered that William Garrett came home with his iand injured, the officers at once arrived at the conclusion that the men who had team were the party who committed robbery. Wagner was closely qnes- and being too hard pushed, broke down and confessed that they were the guilty party. Wagner stated that Garrett had placed a revolver at his head and threatened to shoot him if he did not him, and accordingly he assisted in Jurglarizing the store, stealing about 1300 worth of goods, consisting of rings, watches, etc. As soon as Wagner had made the confession an effort was made to catch the others men, but Dutchy Werner had left or Pottsville, where, on information "rritten to the police, he was arrested and ironght to this city on Saturday by Officer Reily Ringler.

Garrett, however, eluded the officers time, and again and gave them a lively chase whenever attempted to arrest him. Some of Garrett's friends told him that as the offense was only for the violation of the ivery act he had better surrender, but he was not taking any such advice, and no doubt "smelt a mouse." Garrett claims to be sciencedand all hat was necessary was to procure a man interest him in pugilistic talk and engagements and he wonld into a rap set for him. Garrett was induced a party to go to Reading on Saturday night for the purpose ot taking part in a sparring exhibition, and at Avon, fear- ng to come to Lebanon, Gar- Hiram Garrett and John Ely got on Constables Hunter Mease also took the rain, bat at Lebanon. A short distance below Avon they made an effort to arrest their man. He, lowever, proved equal to the emergency nd when the officers approached him he his revolver in the crowded car and lushed toward the car platform.

Hiram Jarratt also pressed forward and on the ilatform a scuffle took place. Just then he train commenced to slack up and William Garrett taking ad vantage jumped he train, closely pursued by Constable lunter, who fired five shots after his apidly retreating form. He did not succeed in capturing him and came to town with Constable Sattazabn and Offi- er Mease, who held Hiram Garrett for ntertering with the arrest. Outhe way prison with Hiram, at the inteseotion of Willow and Eighth streets, he made a ash for liberty, running up Willow treet and down Doe alley, where he was aught and landed safely in prison. When Garrett fled Constable Uunter at random several shots after him, nt if his aim is no better than on Saturday night a man can flee from him with impunity, as he "can't hit a barn oor." Garrett and the constable were running on the north side of Willow treet, aud one of the shots fired struck he curbing in front of the Perseverance ngine boose, glanced off and struck the oor, knocking off a splinter and flatten- ng the bullet, which fell on the floor and now carried in the pocket of tbe river.

Later in the Garrett came to this eity and was een standing in front of the Bittner louse. Word was immediately sent to he officers and Officers Ringler, Mease nd others captured him after a most des- terate resistance, in which the officers sed their clubs with good effect. He was taken before Alderman Garrett and was committed for a hearing on Wednes- ay Afternoon at 1 o'clock. Hiram will et bis hearing on Thursday at the same our. The men can not be held here for the urglary at Epnrata, but for violation of he livery act.

after which they can be landed over to tbe Lancaster authorities or the offense committed there. FOB INDIGENT CHILDREN. Tie Soldiers' Orphans School Communion Considering Its Establishment.
