SAN Francisco. Doc. q. An American In
Honolulu. writing just as the Msriposa
was prsparing 10 sail. says: "Without
doubt tbs provisional Cover nment will meet
foroe with force and the whole situation is
dark and complicated for Hawaii. Tho
forces of the American men.of-war Phila-
dsiphia and Adams are held in roadinsss to
land at any moment. The English ship
Champion and Japanese cruiser Mani Wa
Kan. though apparently passive. are also
no doubt equally prepared to take part In
any outbreak that may occur. Tho native
were IL not for the interested leaders would
not take great interest in tho matter"
The Cotwin. in addition to bringing ofn-
cal instructions to Minister Willis, also
brought san Francisco newspapers con-
tnin,nR the lrosidsnrs message at the
opening Of congress, and that part OF II re-
latinR to Hawaiian affairs was soon pub
lished In an extra edition OF tho Hawaiian
Star and added to the excitement in the
ranks of tho provisional government party.
There had been no special exoitsmsnt in
Honolulu for weeks past, until tho day the
Mariposa left there. Then tho revenue
cutter Corwin arrived from San Francisco.
bringing additional instructions from Hec-
retary Gresham to Minister Willis, which
were published In this country. when
President Ciovsiand's Hawaiian message
WAS delivered to congress few days ago.
but the nature of which was unknown in
Honolulu. friends Of the provisional gov
ernmsnt in Honolulu seemed to bs
under the impression that the Corwin
had arrived there with instructions
which would result in an early effert on the
part Of the United States Autho titles to re-
store tho queen, and consequently much
excitement was caused. which had not been
allaysd At the time the MnEiposa left har-
Lor. According to regular news dispatches
ns well 40 private advices. the lrovisionAl
government and the party which supports
IL seemed determined 10 resist any attempt

bic after one year, meets with the

question as to whether it might not be
necessary to have moro than $50,0O0,-
600 of these notes outstanding for a
short time until the new tariff bill has

general in the army aud authorizing
the President to appoint to it ON con-
firmation by the Senate an incumbent
"to be selected from among those Off

MOODY'S NEW IMPROVED
TAILOR SYSTEM and combination
of squares for dress cutting, is fast
suppressing other systems, because it
is so simple and perfect that it can be
learned in one tenth the time of any
other system ever invented. With 1t
you cut every nameable garment worn
by ladies and children. Every draft
is made directly on the cloth, not re-
quiring the use Of paper or patterns
and to those willing to take lessons at
once, we have decided TO teach limit
ed number free of charge; they pay
only $3.50 tor the system. This offer
should be accepted at once, otherwise
il would be withdrawn. This system
is the only one patented in 1892, in
six months over $4,000 have been sold
almost suppressing every other dress
cutting system Oh the market. The
leading dress makers have adopted it
everywhere, it being so simple and
perfect, the thousands of ladies and
young girls who have taken the ad-
VANTAGE of learning to cut and make
their own dresses at the nominal ex-
pense ofONLY $3.50, HAVE SAID
that MOODY'S NEW SYSTEM was a
God send to all women, because with
it lady can cut and make her own
dresses and those of her children. and
by 80 doing she saves FULLY so Per
cent of her entire dressmaking expen-
ses, OF COURSE the old dress cutting
systems are so complicated and hard
to learn that but few ever learn to cut
by them, though they invest SIS $40 or
even more. With MOODY'S NEW
SYSTEM we positively guarantee to
teach you more in one day than can
be taught by any other system in one
full week. We know just what we
are talking about, We have had over
20 years experience and do not make
q statement we will not support; if
you cannot learn to cut and make a
dress by MOODY'S NEW SYSTEM
to fit without changing a seam in less
than one tenth the time required to
learn any other system ever invented
we will pay for your time while learn
ing. We send complete system with
