Commissioner Chas. L. Carter Killed

Tliis mornmg's news from the Ilawaiian Islands is very exciting. It seems that one Robert Wilcox with about 200 Royalists raised the standard of rebellion against the existing government. A posse of inen was sent to the resideuce of a prominent royalist, to search his liouse for arras and ammunition. The posse was joined by Carter, who discovered a number of natives armed. They flred upon him and he feil pierced by three balls. Taken to his home he lived a íew hours only. Tlie paper states that when the boatleft on Jan. llth, the government troops had the rebellion practically subdued. The death of Mr. Carter will be sad news for tliis community. He was a gradúate of the University, class of '84, and married Miss Mary Scott,'a daughter of the late J. Austin Scott, aud sister of Evart H. Scott, of this city'. He is pleasantly remembered here as being a good student and thorough gentleman. The news is received here with astonishment and regrets, and many have criticised this administraron very severely for its course in Hawaiian affairs, believing that had even a United States war vessel been retained at Honolulú, this life would not have been sacrificed. Mr. Carter was one of the commissioners sent by the provisional government to this country, who were so cooley received by President Cleveland.
