Brooklyn, Feb. .'I.—A Third avenue
car was attacked by a mob at Fifty-
second street last night and the non-
union inotorman and conductor were
badly beaten. The police arrested
three of the attacking party. The
Brooklyn Heights Railroad Co. started
t*> run ears from the Maspeth depot to
Brooklyn. When the first, car passed
the hook and ladder house on Brand
street, Maspeth strikers ran the truck
out on the track and tried to prevent
the ear from passing. Sixty deputy
sheriff drove them back and the car
proceeded on its way.
A deputy sheriff who tried to prevent
the cutting of the wires at Maspeth
was pinned against the trolley polo
■while the work was being done. A
crowd of 100 men gathered and threat-
ened violence. The section box was
also smashed. The crowd was becom-
ing very unruly when Sheriff Dobb
and C’apt. Melpin, with a force
of deputies, charged. The mob
scattered, but again formed
about the truck house which
is used as a headquarters. When the
wires had been repaired, the crowd
once more became threatening, but
■was driven to tins truck house. Two
arrests were made. Later Justice
Schumacher discharged the two strik-
ers, but held the deputy. During the
afternoon the deputies cleared the
avenues several times and were once
•compelled to fire several shots before
the strikers would yield. None «>f tho
shots were fired at the crowd.

Capt. Maurice I). Fenton was sitting in
tiie patrolmen's room in the city' build-
ing this morning with his head against ,
an iron pillar when Officer P. J. Dev-
ereaux walked up to him, drew his
revolver from his pocket and shot ,
him in the head. Then without
waiting to sec the result of the
shot Devoreaux placed t ho muz/.le
of tiie weapon to his own forehead,
pulled the trigger again and blew out
liis own brains. The officers in t ho ad-
joining rooms heard the shots and
quickly rushed to the scene to ascer-
tain tiie cause. They found Fenton
was still living, though unconscious,
a-in? he breathed ins last in a few min-
utes. So far as known no quarrel of
any sort existed between the two men,
and it is believed that Deveramx was
insane.

An Oklahoma Settler Him a Terrible Strug-
Klc with Ills Shepherd D«»k-
| Guthimk, Ok., Feb. 3.—At Medford, |
Grant county, John Bartoff. a settler, j
, living with his family in a dugout, was ,
; awakened in the night by a strange |
1 noise, and, lighting the lamp, was con- j
fronted by his dog, a large shepherd, |
which stood with frothing mouth and
glaring eyes, about to leap upon him.
He first grabbed his two children from
the trundle-bed and threw them on the
i bed with the mother, then struck the
animal over the head with n chair.
The blow broke the chair and a piece
| struck the lamp and put it out, leaving
the family alone in the dark with the
mad animal. A moment later the
! mother and little ones screamed that
the dog was up6n their bed, and Mr.
Bartoff rushed over and grappled with
j the animal in the dark, dragging it off
upon the floor, where a terrible strug-
gle took place, the animal again and \
again sinking its fangs into his arms
autl hands. Finally, with the assist- ^
ance of his wife, Mr. Bartoff dragged
the dog from the house and killed it j
with an ax, and at once started to j
town to get a physician to dress his j
wounds. The dog was undoubtedly in
the throes of hydrophobia.

Auckland, N. Z.. Feb. 3.—Advices
received here from Honolulu under
date of January 11) announce that ex-
Queen Liliuokalani has been arrested
on Urn charge of complicity with tlie
insurgents in the recent outbreak, and
that all of the insurgent leaders have
been taken into custody, and arc being
tried by court martial. Three of tlie
leaders pleaded guilty to treason.
Martial law is maintained, but the re-
bellion against tlie republic of Hawaii
turned out to be a complete fiasco,
EX-QUEEN I.II.I I'OKAI.A M.
After the first engagement the rebels
scattered and some time later Wilcox,
Mol in. Buttidmun and other leaders
wore captured.
Shortly after ex-Queen Liliuokalani
was arrested her house was searched
and in it were found stores of arms and
dyainite bombs. The imvsts have re-
sulted in the restoration of order in
Hawaii.
Advices dated January 27 say that
quite a large quantity of arms, im-
ported for tlie use of the rebels, have
been seized in addition to those found
in the house of the ex-queen. Messrs.
Savais, the importers of the arms, have
been fined.
The news of tlie arrest of ex-
Queen Liliuokalani was telegraphed to
Queen Victoria at Osborne and to The-
ophilus Davis, guardian of Princess
Kaiulani, of Hawaii, heiress presump-
tive to the throne, anil agent in En-
gland of ex-Queen Liliuokalani. It is
expected that tlie ex-queen’s friends
here and elsewhere will make diploma-
tic representations to Great Britain
and the United States in order to
secure her release.
Nothing is known in London in re-
gard to the charges made against the
British residents at Honolulu of sup-
plying arms to the rebels, and it is
said that if such a thing did occur it
would be for the Hawaiian authorities
to put a stop to it.
GUATEMALA BACKINO DOWN.

ents that tlie amount and general na-
ture of the indenyiity due from Giiat..*-

it accedes to tlie demand of this repub-
lic in every particular, a rreeing to pay
to Mexico full indemnity for all losses
incurred in the invasion giving rise to
the present unhappy state of affairs,
but this is denied, though it was hinted
at the palace to-day there might be a
speedy settlement.

Washington, Feb. 3.—Members ol

tholdt has shown it are greatly inter-
ested in a financial plan forwarded by
Mr. Adolph Herthel, of th • Interna-
tional bank of St. Louis. Mr. Bar-
tholdt has not made up his mind, but
thinks Mr. HertheTs plan is worthy of
all possible publicity. He believes
that out of full discussion and many
suggestions something will come. Mr.
Herthel enumerates the nine kinds of
money now in use, giving a per capita
circulation of $23.73. He says:
I would have onlv three Items stand. They

BEET SUGAR PRODUCTION.
Washington, Feb. 4.—The European
economists are alarmed at the pros-
pect that the United States, the great-
est sugar country in the world, and
always relied upon to absorb the sur-
plus European product, will at no dis-
tant date produce all of its sugar.
Frank Mason, United States consul-
general at Frankfort, Germany, has
submitted to the state department a
special report on American com-
petition in sugar production, which
is full of interesting statistics
on the subject. Among .other things
he shows that the crop of beet
root sugar last year exceeded by
700,000 tons the products of the preced-
ing year. The production of cane
sugar has doubled in the past twenty
years, while that of beet sugar has
trebled, (direful examinations of the
possibilities of beet sugar production
in tlie United States have been made
by European correspondents who show
that certain districts, notably Califor-
nia. and some of the more southern
and western states, will enjoy decided
natural advantages over all tlie beet-
producing countries of Europe. Four
elements enter into the competition—
climate, cost and fertility of land, cost
of labor and the effective economy *>f
the machinery and methods of cultiva-
tion and sugar manufacture. In all
but one—cost of labor—the United
States has the advantage.
PRINTING GOVERNMENT llONDH.
