The Minister of Foreign Affairs Hands
in His Resignation.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 4.-The brig Con
suelo arrived here from Honolulu to-day
and brought information that Godfrey
Brown, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has
handed in his resignation to the King. 1t
has been accepted, but his successor
is yet to be named. Premier Green's
resignation is expected to follow. The
situation Of affairs when the Consuelo left
on Dec ~ was not assuring. The Supreme
Court was expected to decide as to the
legality of the King vetoes on the day fol
lowing Christmas. 1t was believed that
the decision, whether for or
against the King, would lead
to serious trouble. On authority
of the Honolulu Bulletin it is stated that
rumors have been floating about that the
King intends to take matters in his own
hands in case of a favorable decision and
promulgate a new constitution War yes

ALABAMA'S CONVICTS.

The State Leases Them to a Corpora
ton for Ten Years.
MONTGOMERY, Jan. 1.-THE State of Ala
bama has let out all of its convIcts on ten
year contracts to the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad Company. They number
about 600, and the average price is SIS PER
month each, which is 81 more than the
State has ever before received The cou-
victs will all be worked i'll the great Pratt
coal mines, near Birmingham. The
contractors agree to construct entirely
new prisons in accordance with the
best modern plans, as well as school rooms
for the convicts and dwellings for teache. 5,
and TO pay the teachers themselves. The
Pratt mines supply coke for nearly all of
the furnaces in Alabama, and produce more
than 900 tons per day. This contract for
convicts is, therefore, regarded as highly
important, since it secures the furnaces
against possible failure TO obtain full sup
ply OF coal on account of strikes, etc One
OF the three State inspectors of convicts is
required to be always at the prisons.

WATER IN A COAL NINE.
1t is Rushing in at the Rate of 10000
Gallons an Hour.

ALTOONA, Pa. Jan. About eleven
acres of the leading coal mines here are
flooded with four feet of water. Friday

to a fault in the coal vein. The superin-
tendent believed that only few feet farther
in, good coal would again he found. The
miners drove an entry twelve feet through
sand and soft strata in which was found
driftwood. Suddenly water began to pour
through the opening, aud has been filling in

LICENSES IN CHARLESTON.
Trouble Ahead for the Newly Unstable
City Council.


CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. Apparently
the whole city is up in arms against the
municipal license system. The City Coun-
Gil, OF Dec. 81, passed the usual license bill,
and, although there had been an effort to
abolish it, eyeryi ody thought tie matter
was settled. To-day however, a petition
ana protest has been circulated and exten-
Sively signed to be presented to the Coun-
ell The signers pledge themselves Lot to
take out the license and also to
pay an assessment OF 10 per cent. OF their
license toward carrying the case into the
courts in case the city attempts to enforce
the tax. The non-hccnse PAYERS claim that
ar additional 500 imposed on the barlooms
and ! per cent. tax additional on real
estate viii enable the city 70 do away with
the license. There is evidently trouble
ahead tor the new administration.
