San Francisco, Dec. 18.—- The
steamer Australia arrived this morn-
ing with Hawaiian advices to Decem-
ber 9.
November 29 President Dole ad-
dressed a note to Minister Willis in
which it was stated that the provi-
sional government had received no-
tice from Minister Thurston of Secre-
tary Grosham's letter and wished to
inquire if it was correct, and, if so,
intimated that it was due them to bo
informed what were the intentions of
the United States in relation to the
recommendations of the secretary of
state. December 2 a reply was re-
ceived by President Dole in which
Minister Willis stated in substauce
that he considered the Letter of Sec-
retary Gresham a domestic matter
with which he (Willis! had nothing
to da It was his opiuion, however,
that President Cleveland would de-
cide to furnish definite information
and instructions as soon as he had re-
ceived certaiu advices which had been
transmitted to him. It was Minister
Willis' opinion that President
Cleveland would be able to come,
to a cooclusiou quick.y because
he was anxious to have the Hawaiian
trouble speedily settled. A previous
note had also" been received from
Minister Willis in which it is under-
stood he acquiesced in the notice
served upon lifiii that no troops should
be landed from the United States
men-of-war without the written con-
sent of the provisional government.
December 7 the executive and ad-
visory eouncilsof the government met
to consider the question of investigat-
ing the conduct and loyalty of a uum-
ber of employes known to be Royalists
or Royalist sympathizers. After a
long debate the following resolutions
were passed with but one dissenting
vote:
Resolved. That it is the opinion of this ad-
visory council that the executive should pro-
seed upon an investigation as to the loyalty of
ail the employes of this government aud the
support given i>y them 10 It. . ^
Resolved. Th it in the determination ol the
loyalty of the employes of the government the
standard shall include active support of this
government and its purposes
The grounds upon which the ad-
visory council based the necessity for
ther actions are briefly summarized
from K. M. Hatch's speech in their
support as follows: *'\\e are in an
anomalous condition. I hough the
existing and only government.
have been discredited m the eyes of the
world by the utterances of Secretary
Mresham We now have our work to
do over again. We must now settle
the question of restoration ourselves.
The lady across the way still claims
to be queen and appeals to a foreign
power—the I'nited States — to rein-
state her. As long as this state of af-
fairs continues we are in the midst o;
a conflict and must keepin the employ
of the government only those whose
loyalty is unquestioned.'*
Minister Daman disapproved of ac-
tion in the matter at the present
time, basing his argument upon the
clause in the proclamation of last
January requiring only the oath of
otlice from those retained in oftlee I
the*provisional fcOv.*rnmeiit.
The same evening a rumor wa
started that Min ster Di non lui<t re-
signed or had to d Royalist ottic -hold-
ers. that he would resign before he
would consent to their dismissal. In
an interview Damon declared how-
ever. that he had no intention of resign-
ing. "You can state positively the'
there is no dissension in the cabinet,
he said. ' There was merely a differ-
ence of opinion in the matter of
policy. That is now settled and, if
necessary, removals wilt be made in
my department as elsewhere. I re-
fused positively to resign when asked
to do ho by two persons "

This decision indorses the principle
upon which action was taken by the
advisory council regarding re novais
a.id is important, as no further opiu-
ion of the supreme court will be re-
quired before action.
When seen December tt, President
Dole staled tlint investigations of mis-
conduct and disloyalty iuortice holders
under the provisional government
would begin at once and whenever
four-it necessary they
would "be made without fear or favor.
This method could be continued uutil
the government was assured it wai
surrounded by uone but its active
friends
When again asked if the govern-
ment would resist any internal or ex-
ternal attack, President Dole em hat-
ically r plied that i . would. At the
same time he hoped that matters had
been already taken up by the United
States congress and said he believed it
would be ultimately settled there.
President Dole confirmed the state-
ment of various members of the cham-
ber of commerce that McKenzle
Rowell, agent of Canada, had advised
the chamber of commerce strongly to
can col the reciprocity treaty witn line
United States, which, he claimed, was
aire idv defeated by the action of the
McKinley bill. Canada was read/ to
ake a fair treaty.
In the councils December 7 Minister
Bacon, in answer to a newspaper de-
nial that the ex-queen had asked the
protection of the provisional govern- !
incut, stated positively that she had
and that such protection was granted
her by the guard around Washington
lace from the police department.
IgThe favorable financial condition of
the government continues. The min-
ister of finance has announced his
ability to transmit #3,000 due for in-
terest on the English loan to London
January 1. The balance due thereon,
or about 845,000, will be paid about
the same time.
The Hawaiian Star has printed the
statement that a tine calabash will be
forwarded by the native political
society, bv the steamer Australia to-
day, bearing the following inscrip-
tion: "To J. H. I Mount, from Hui
Kalaiana for services rendered." The
Hono ulu Bulletiu and Royalists deny
the statement in toto, while some, in-
cluding members of the native so-
ciety, admit its truth, but deny the
correctness of the inscription as given.
Interviews with several prominent
Royalists show that many of them
have given up hope of immediate
restoration and believe the situation
will be reviewed by the United States
congress.
The ranks of the American league
are growing daily. At the present it
is estimated that the government can
command 2,500 armed men in case of
need.
Tne following resolutions were
adopted at a meeting of the executive
committee of the Annexation club
held December 2:

Washington, Dec. 18 —In the house

ficiency bill caine up, after the senate
amendments providing for two addi-
tional justices of the district of Okla-
homa Wad been agreed to and the bill
to relieve the Ford's theater victims
favorably reported, ami the house
went into committee of the whole, Mr.
Outwaite in the chair.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois addressed the
house on the section appropriating
$200,000 for special pension examin-
ers. He said he thought it was time
for congress to examine into the man-
ner in which the pension office was
being conducted and attacked the
present administration.
At the conclusion of Mr. Cannon's
speech Mr. Livingstone of Georgia
said that Mr. Cannon had not
questioned the propriety of the ap-
propriation which was under discus-
sion but had devoted his time to an
arrangement of the pension policy of
the administration. Mr. Livingstone
made a vigorous defense of the ad-
ministration
Messrs. Dingly, Pickler, Cannon and
others of their party pressed Mr. Liv-
ingstone hard at every weak point.
He held his own against their assaults.
Mr. Lacev of Pennsylvania fol-
lowed Mr. Livingston. He denounced
tho conduct of the commissioner of
pensions and referred to the days in
Venice when charges against citizens
were placed in the lion's mouth and
trial and condemnation in secret fol-
lowed. The whole country, he said,
should rise up and rebuke the ad-
ministration.
| TWO GAMBLERS SHOT DEAD.
Myaterlou* Murder* of Disreputable Men
In Nlouv City—Conflict In Storlea.
Sioux City, Iowa, Dec. 18.—About 5
o'clock this morning an unknown man
went Into a notorious gambling den,
where he had been robbed, drew a re-
volver and shot two gamblers, named
lironson and Meyers, dead. The man
who did the shooting left the house,
it is supposed, at once and has not
been found.
So far as known he Is the only living
witness of the affair, and there is no
clue to his identity. It is believed he
left the city on an early train for
Omaha before the shooting was dis-
covered.
The police have arrested half a
dozen gamblers and confidence men,
members of the gang to which the
ad men belong. It is now believed
the men were killed by some of their
pals in a quarrel. Burleigh (Iraves is
most strongly suspected of the deed

CLOSE CALL FOR PIN KERTON.
The Noted Chicago Detective Trap* a
Man Who 1'lanned to Kill Him.
Sax Francisco, Dec. 18—Hilly Pink-
erton. the Chicago detective chief, ar-
rived here a few days ago on a pleas-
ure trip and his arrival was chronicled
in the newspapers. Last night about
11 o'clock lie was sitting in the billiard
room of the Palace hotel talking to
Detectives Rohen and Seymour of the
local police force when a messenger
entered and handed him a note asking
Pinkerton to meet the writer in front
of the Crocker building opposite the
hotel, as he had something of great
importance to tell him
Suspecting a trap. Pinkerton ar-
ranged with Rohen and Seymour to
follow him and to come to his assist-
ance at a given signal. Then he
walked across the street and as he
reached the Crocker building a man
stepped out from the shadow and
asked, "You are Hill Pinkerton, ain't
you?"
As the man spoke Pinkerton recogniz-
ed him as Jack Hennessy, a notorious
train robber, whom lie had captured
years ago and who had sworn to kill
him.
Pinkerton said cooly, "My name
is Pinkerton," and after signaling to
the two detectives shouted, "CJrab
hiin!" aud threw his arms about the
man A desperate struggle ensued
before Hennessy was overpowered,
lie was handcuffed and taken to the
city prison.
White talking to Pinkerton he kept
his right hand in his overcoat pocket,
and in this was found a loaded 44-
caliber pistol.
Speaking of the affair afterward Mr.
Pinkerton said: "I am convinced
Rohen and Seymour saved my life.
Hennessy is as desperate a fellow as
there Is in the country. He Is a train
robber and has operated all over the
Western and Southern states. His
last, job was in Mississippi, years ago,
and he was captured by me after a
long chase. lie was sentenced to
serve a long terra in the Mississippi
penal institution and after his con-
viction he swore to*have my life, lie
escaped from the penitentiary and
there is a standing reward of 81,M)0
for his capture "
Pinkerton says he will not claim
the reward, but will leave that to
Rohen and Seymour who came to bit
assistance. _
Dknvrk, Col., Dec. 1 8.—A telegram
was received at the department of
Colorado headquarters informing Gen-
eral McCook that a company of twen-
ty-five men at Wilcox, Arizona, were

border to join the Mexican revolu-
tionists. The troops from Fort 11 ovie

Washington, Dec. 18.—Ex-Speaker
Reed is preparing the minority report
on the tariff bilL
Mr. Wilson of West Virginia has
not been at the capitol for two days
and to all inquiries the answer is that
he is preparing the report on the tar-
iff bill. As Representative Breckin-
ridge of Arkansas, has also been ab-
sent some of the time it is thought
that he is assisting the chairman with
the report as he assisted in preparing
the tariff bill. The report must bo
ready to present to the majority mem-
bers before Tuesday, so that it may bo
approved for submission to the full
committee on that day.
Although there is not very much
encouragement for the persons who
come to Washington to get the
schedule changed, there are still
many delegations here interviewing
such members of the committee as
can be reached There is not enough
stability among the objectors to
change any schedule that the majority
may insist upon. It is found that the
Republicans are not anxious to assist
individual Democrats on such matters
as they are interested in when there
will be no assistance from these same
Democrats when interests outside o
their own districts are affected.
As an indication of the policy to bo
pursued by the Republicans, it is sai
that on the sugar schedule they will
offer the section of the McKinley la
as a substitute. This being voted
down, as it surely will be, they will
not vote with the Louisiana men with
such other propositions as they off
This course followed on other pro-
visions of the bill would leave but lit
tie possibility of amending the bill
while in the house.

Topkka, Kan., Dec. 1.8—Two tramps
were placed on the rock pile in To-
peka this morning in defiance of Gov-
ernor Lewelling's circular. The
charge against them was "drunk and
begging on the street," and the only
evidence was that they had "whisky

The police say they have had no
orders to obey the governor's circu-

introduced at the regular meeting of

New Yohk, Dec. 18.—R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
"It is proof of the enormous vitality
of the country that while mills are
stopping in every direction and the
army of unemployed are larger than
it has been for many years, other
mills are constantly starting up to an-
swer the demand which a single year
of unprecedented disaster has only
diminished. Trade still waits as
much as it can, and yet tho volume of
business on a mere hand to mouth ba-
sis is such as would have been called
good a few years ago. The fierce
struggles of the Pittsburg region for
business drives prices to the lowest
point ever known—bll for Bessemer
iron and SHI-75 for steel billets takes
away nearly all new work from the
East and West, where depression in-
creases.
"Wheat receipts at the West have
been 3,291,872 bushels against 5,548,-
513 the same week last year, and
Atlantic exports only 595,704 against
1,879,378 last year, and the stocks in
sight increased rapidly but prices de-
clined 1 cent, with sales of only 4,090,-
000 bushels. Here corn receipts were
very large—3,G43,020 bushels—against
2,331.390 last year, and exports were
fully maintained, the price yielding
half a cent Pork packing at the
West exceeds last year's, yet prices
droop in spile of reports that hogs
are proving of poor quality.
"The sugar crop of Cuba is esti-
mated at 1,000,000 tons, but prices as
yet are fairly steady. Cotton receipts
have been heavy, 71,000 bales larger
than for the same week last year,
with exports only 13,000 larger, and
takings of Northern spinners de-
creased, but prices advanced three-
sixteenths.
"Failures are numerous and large,
339 for the week, against 279 last year,
and forty in Canada, against last
year, but a worse feature is their im-
portance. The list of the week in-
cludes seven bank failures, with one
of the best private banks for $500,000,
an agricultural machinery establish-
ment for SI.0 )0,000. an iron works for
$50,000, a heavy tobacco dealer for
$750,000 and a dry goods concern for
$150,000, making ? 2,500.000 for five
failures The reported liabilities of
firms failing in the first week of
December were $3,761,409. against
93,285,070 the previous week, includ-
ing 82,:300,000 of trading and $1,700,-

Th« Ex-Mlalster to Hawaii Talks About
the Blaine 1>U pat eh.
Boston, Dec. 18.—Ex-Minister to
Hawaii John L. Stevens has made
the following explanatory statement:
"Regarding the dispatch to Secretary
Blaine signed by me and published
yesterday, I think it is proper to say
no answer was ever received by me
and probably none was ever written.
Doubtless Mr. Blaine thought the
standing instructions aud usages of
the legation of which I then had
charge, especially Secretary Bayard's
dispatch to Minister Merrill of July
13, 1887, were sufficient for ray guid-
ance, thus throwing on the American
representatives at Honolulu the re-
sponsibility of dealing with facts and
emergencies, as to which they could
judge more accurately than the Wash-
ington officials All official dispatcher
received by me during my residence
in Honolulu are duly numbered and
on file at the Honolulu legation.

Hawaiian Correspondence.
Washington, Dec. 18. —There waa
published yesterday a dispatch ad-
dressed by Minister Stevens from Hon-
olulu to Secretary Itlaine,dated March,
1492, in whieh Mr. Stevens asks for in-
structions in the event of a revolu-
tionary movement This dispatch is
printed in the official Hawaiian corres-
pondence and is not new. Dispatches
of that time referred to an entirely
different revolution from tho one
which has been effected. The revolu-
tion Mr. Stevens apprehended at that
time was threatened by Robert Wil-
cox, a half-caste, who attempted to
overthrow Kalakaua in 1889, and was
prevented by the white elements of
the islands.

Since January Seventy-One Itall
Have Heroine llankrupt.
Chicago, Dec. 18—The Railway
Age publishes an elaborate statement
of the financial troubles of railway
companies during the year. It says:
"During the year now closing near-
ly thirteen per cent of the entire rail-
way mileage of the United States,
representing over twelve per cent of
the entire capitalization, has gone in-
to the hands of receivers. During the
two years, 1893 and ls93, the com-
panies for which receivers were ap-
pointed represent over nineteen per
cent of the mileage and nearly sixteen
per cent of the c*apital stock and
bonds of all the railways in the
country.
'Two weeks before the close of the
year, we find in the record of com-
panies for whom receivers have been
ap ointed since January no less than
seventy-one roads, with nearly 22,000
miles of line, an outstanding bonded
indebtedness of almost $751,000,000
and capital stock aggregating over
$534,000,00*) making a total of almost
$1,288,000,000 of stock and bonds from
which all returns are suspended with
the certainty that a large part of their
value will be wiped out before the
long process of the courts Is ended."
