WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The news
from Honolulu, received exclusively
by the United Press dispatches, was
read with undisguised interest in Off
cial circles in Washington. Supporters
of the administration policy, as well as
ardent annexationists, had hoped that
something definite and final in the way
of settlement of the question would
have been accomplished. The full ad-
vices from Vancouver were received in
Washington just prior to the closing of
the executive departments Secretary
Gresham was at the White House with
the president and both learned the
news at the same time. Naval officers
were pleased that the provisional gov
ernment still existed and some of them
were surprised and perhaps n tritle
disappointed, that there had not been
a fight when the Gresham letter advo-
eating the restoration of the queen ar
rived at Honolulu.
Neither Secretary Gresham nor any
other prominent, official would give
confirmation or denial to the impor-
tant statement contained in the Van
couver dispatches that Minister Willis
had pledged himself to the provisional
government not to take any action be-
fore the arrival of the Alameda at Hon
olulu, December 21 Very little doubt
however, is entertained in view of the
extraordinary delays which have thus
far interposed between Minister Willis
and the carrying out of his instruc
tions, that this statement is based or
good authority. Everyone is accord
ingly settling down for another pro
longed wait for news, but hoping fol
some developments from the CORE
spondence to be sent to the senate.
SAN FRANCIsCo, Dec. 13.-The steam
er Oceanic arrived from the Orient viz
Honolulu shortly after 10 o'clock las
evening. The United Press correspond
ent at Honolulu writes as follows, un
der date of December >: On the 2+tl
ult. the ''Warrimoo'' brought from Vic
toria our earliest knowledge of Secre
tary Gresham's letter and Ministe'
Willis probable instructions to restor,
the queen by force. One thing became
clear, that the ex-queen and her sup
porters had been since early in Marcl
supplied with accurate information
from Washington of the president
policy and intention to restore her.

THEY ESCAPE WITH MUCH BOOTY.
ST. Louis, Dec. 13.-A special from
Austin, Tex, says the cannon-ball
train No. . on the international Sc
Great Northern railway was robbed by
six men at Duval Sunday midnight.
The express safe was looted of it's con-
tents and passengers were robbed of
their money and other valuables 1t is
not known what the express company's
loss is. The total amount secured is
estimated to be from 81 200 to $4,000
The train was stopped by the turn
ing of "a switch by the robbers, and the
fireman, not obeying orders with the
alacrity required, was shot in the
shoulder. About fifty shots were
fred into the engine, baggage and
express cars and the mail car was
also riddled, but not robbed. The en-
gineer and fireman were ordered to
call for the opening of the express car.
This was done as soon as the engineers
voice was recognized. The bag
gagemaster and express messen-
ger were stationed alongside the
car and forced to hold up
their hands nearly an hour by two
of the bandits, who stood guard over
them. One of the shots fired entered
and broke Fireman Corrigan's right
arm, but he was compelled to hold up
the stump until he fell to the ground
exhausted.
The robbers We're very profane and
brutal to the ren and women in the
coaches and struck some of them over
the head with their pistols because
la, h,I R4+1n rl,. 81.
! ers were not entered. 1t is believed
the robbers got only a few hundred dol
lars all told. 1t being Sunday night
train it is thought the express had but
little money aboard.
Three men passed through the
coaches while those on the outside kept
up ii constant and rapid fire, intimi-
dating passengers, many of whom,
when the bandits entered, were hiding
under the seats. But the robbers made
all deliver money, watches and finger
rings. One man did the rohbing while
the others held six-shooters.
Charles Turner, bus agent, saved
his watch and money by throwing it
under the stove. When the second
passenger coach was entered one rob-
ber lett package on the coal box, and
after the robbery 1t was discovered to
be an express package containing $500.
The robbers did not enter the sleeper.
Messenger Rutfinger does not know
how much money the express safe con-
tanned, but the run on Sunday night is
light.
After going through the train the
robbers got away as quickly
as possible in the darkness toward the
mountains. The amount of the booty
is variously estimated ut from 81, ZOO to
$1,000. 1t is suspected that the gang
is the same that made the big haul
at Plano, Tex. Officers have gone
in pursuit. Messenger Ruffinger thinks
there were six men in the gang They
all wore masks. 1t took thirty minutes
to complete the job. The bandits were
very abusive and seemed to be drunk
cursing and striking passengers al

WILSON RESELL is much larger man than Grover Cleveland. He weighs over three hundred pounds, but he is an able lawyer and a good partner.
 PRESIDENT FILLMORE, who was Buff falOnian, took his law partner into his cabinet as postmaster general. Mir. Cleveland, another Buffalonian, did likewise.
 EX-SENATOR WILLIAM NJ. EvARTs has just rounded out three-quarters of a century of life. He is less active in the pursuit of his profession than formerly, and spends much of his time at his Yer mont farm.
 ALTHOUGH ex-President Harrison is probably the most enthusiastic pedes- trian that has ever occupied the white house, he is reported to have gained perceptibly in weight during the last four years.
 CLEVELAND was the only president to deliver his inauguration address ex- tempore. Fillmore made no inaugural. Garfield was the first president to make any political speeches in a foreign tongue. German was used.
 MR. BLAINE's fortune had it's origin in tracts of land in western Pennsylvania which were left him by his father, who had, in turn. inherited them from the elder James c. Blaine. A tract of coal land near the MOnOngahela river was the most valuable of these possessions.

SENATOR VOORHEES,, who has been clas- sed as extremely anti-Cleveland in his financial ideas, is accused of having been persuaded" to promise his vote and assistance in securing a repeal Of the Sherman silver law at the next ses- slon of Congress, in exchange for the Indian federal patronage. Time will tell whether there is any foundation for the accusation, but the fact that Senator Voorhees, brother-in-law has been given a nice diplomatic berth, and that he secured the appointment of Burke to U. $. Attorney and Hawkins to be U. s. Marshal for Indiana in the face of the opposition of every promi- nent original Cleveland democrat of that State, adds probability thereto. Such a howl was raised over these nominations, that it was rumOred they would be withdrawn, but MT. Vorhees stopped it by rushing their contirma- t on drought the Senate.

 SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Mar. 27.-This afternoon Henry Mclaughlin and Jerry Demond, alias John Ward, pleaded guilty to the charge of murder and both were sentenced by Judge Cope to life imprisonment at San Quentin. Mclaughlin and Desmond were ar rested February 1 for the murder of Alfred E. Hore, station agent of the Pacific Coast railroad at Los Oivos, this county. The evidence, though circum- stantial, pointed strongly to the two men, and there was little doubt of their guilt.
 Today they decided, after a cOnsulta- tiOn with their attorney, t. plead guilty. McLaughlIn's sworn statement in court testified that he was the one who did the shooting, but clalmed it was acci- dental. The court decided that both were gull of murder in the second de- gree and sentence d them as stated.
 Tue murder WAS committed on the night of January 31. Hore was alone in his office, between and o'clock, when two men entered. Their faces were hid den by masks made by grain sacks. Hore WIS ordered to throw up his hands, but instead started toward the telegraph in- strument. One of the robbers shot him at once. Death resulted a few hours later.
 The murderers were captured by the sheritf's posse the next night.
 WASHINGTON. March 27.-The United States was defeated in the Supreme Court today in the effort to secure the removal of barbed wire fence.
 The case was originally instituted in the first judicial district of Arizona, the United States alleging that Colin Cam eron enclosed 500 acres of public land without the color of title thereto and asked an order for removal.
 The plaintiff was successful and Cam eron came to the Supreme Court for re- lief. Justice Brown delivered the opin- ion of the court reversing judgment of the Supreme Court of the Territory This was upon the ground that the Cam eron claim under tho Mexican grant of four square leagues of land, which by some unknown means was changed into four leagues square in the survey con- stituted color title, which removed the land in question from the public domain of the United States and therefore ex- empted them from the law governing the removal of fences.

WE are not very sure that new gov
 erRor is to be appointed soon, but if such appointment is to be made we be- lieve that the appointing power will
 heaIken to the voice of the people of Arizona as expressed through their rep rssentatives the Territorial press, and
 appoint L.. c. Hughes to the gubernato-
 rial chair. When a change is made We believe in the appointment of man who is an ArizonIan, whose social and busi- ness ties are with the Territory of his adoption and whose energy and force would be directed toward the better
 ment of Arizona and the development of her vast resources. We believe that if Hughes is appointed that his admins tration will mark an era in the wealth, the growth and population of the com ing dominant state in the southwest. There are people, and good citizens too, who do not believe as we do in this matter, but we say frankly that each and everyone of them have an axe to grind and they cannot use the stone if l.. c. Hughes is appointed to turn it. Moreover, it is impossible to please all. This cannot be done, but an effort should be made to please the great majority which can be done by the appointment of Hughes, when change in the ad-

THE CHINESE AT BAY.

A contemporary IS somewhat appre-
 hensive lest the Chinese may forcibly resist the enforcement of the registra- tion act. The Chinese are armed, 1t says and are fighters, and If they make up their minds to resist they will only be overcome after the loss Of many lives. If it be true that the Chinese have as sumed a fighting attitude they have made the enforcement of the act an absolute necessity. The Govern ment cannot barley with the domestic foe who states his grievance gun and pistol in hand. If the Chinese Six Companies have advlsed their people to fight it out they will have to take the consequence. The opinion has prevailed for long tune that the Chinese Six Companies constituted kind of gov ernment within a government-thatt the Chinese paid little heed to the laws of he real government until the sham government accepted them. But the Chinese companies have generally been careful not to make a demonstratlve use of their power. They have shielded themselves from the law under the re- presentation that their functions were limited to giving advice. They seem now to have thrown of the mask. A counselor who advises client to oppose the government with force is as culp8- bic as the person who acts upon such advice. It is extremely improbable that the Chinese will make any organized resistance to the enforcement Of the registration act. Such resistance would lead to the deportation of every Chinese laborer whose name is not found on the registration books. The Government might hesitate about spending three or four millions to enforce law that was not resisted, but it would expend S1O0OO0,O00 if need be to enforce law that was resisted by an armed foe-S.

NEW WARSHIP, Successful Preliminary Trial
 Trip. SHE RAN LIKE A YACHT. The krmored Cruiser New York, Makes a Speed of
 20 Knots.
SHE RAN LIKE A YACHT.

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 26.-With the proud distinction of having broken tht records of all preliminary trials, and tht satisfaction of being the fastest armoreC vessel in the world, the cruiser New York returned to the Cramp shipyarc this morning.
 Despite the heavy rain and biting wind, 5000 enthusiastic PhiladelphianG cheered the warshlp as she backed out into the stream and stood down the river on her trial trip. Capt. Sargent acknowledged the salutes with tht ships powerful siren whistle, and tht mighty S3,0O0,000 vessel was headed down the Delaware. Then arose another wild shout as the four powerful engines began to vibrate and the water wae churned from astern.
 The maximum pressure of steam car ried was 120 pounds. Starting with 55 revolutions, speed of 10 knots was at tained until Greenwich was passed After this the new vessel warmed to hel work. Ninety-five revolutions were made and the speed was increased tc 17.5 knots, deluging the vessel with cold spray. The vessel glided through the water as lightly and nolslessly as yacht however, and there was scarcely vlbra- tion throughout the ship. The first trial from the five-fathom bank lightship to the northeast end lightship, a distance of 9.SS nautical miles, was covered in 2e minutes 3I seconds, a speed of 200a nautical miles per hour.
 On the second trial, returning over the same course, the distance was made in 29 minutes 51 seconds, speed of 1887 nautical miles; average of the two trials, 1895 miles.
 The cruiser was then headed eastward in deeper water. On the run of four consecutive hours she maintained a speed of 203S knots, reaching as high as 20.57 as the water deepened. The New York then steamed up to the shipyaId She will be ready for the official trial within three weeks.
