WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-commissioners

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Commissioners
of the provisional government OF Hawaii
reached Washington this afternoon. They
were met at the station by DR.. Mott
Smith who had previously received by
t'Inail the commission of President Dole,
of the provisional government. appoint
ing him representative of Hawaii at
Washington under the new regime. The
gentlemen went at once to the hotel
where they passed the evening hour. The
arrival was too late for them to meet any
OF the officials of this government and ar
engagements made for their reception did
not include an interview with any of
them. The commissioners received a
number of representatives of the press at
their rooms and talked freely of the sltua-
ton. They brought with them copies of a
Hawaiian paper of Wednesday, JAM Is,
which contained full accounts of the pro-
ceedings in connection with the revolu-
ton, particulars of which have already
been made public.
Mt. Castle, one of the commissioners,
fsaid to a reporter that the desire OF the
committee was to secure annexation to
the United States. The terms upon which
annexation shall be made, continued Mr..
Castle, we are perfectly willing to leave to
thC Ou4bSO DbhtSS SONSinLuSAb W 0~NCl-
mine. There is one condition we much
desire shall be contained in any agree
ment that may be determined upon, and
that is that the right of suffrage shall be
restricted. We want no universal suf-
frage on the islands, and if to accomplish
this IT is necessary TO lose our own right TO
vote, we are perfectly willing to abandon
that. If we might be allowed to suggest
q form of government that of the District
of Columbia seems to afford a more de-
sirable form for the Sandwich islands.
We don't want territorial government
in which there shall be a legislature
elected by the votes of all the people,
DR.. Mott Smith, Hawaiian minister,
informed Secretary Foster today of his
appointment as representative of the pro-
vlsional government of the islands to the
United States and his acceptance thereof.
He arranged with the secretary to receive
the commissioners at the state depart
ment tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.

PROSECUTING PAvEY.

A Train of Startling Political Events Ig-
nited in Illinois.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 3.-The action
of Acting Governor Gill in ordering the
prosecution OF ex-Auditor Pavey, has ig-
nited train Of startling political events
which threatens to be far-reaching in
their political consequences. Acting
Governor Gill is understood to be only
awaiting the outcome of various resolu-
lions of investigation now pending in the
House, to determine whether the ap-
preparation by the state treasurer's ac-
cretions of interest on state funds is
sufficiently we'll established to warrant
executive action in directing the attorney
general to bring suit in the name OF the
state of Illinois against all ex-state treas
urers and their bondsmen for the restitu-
ton of hundreds of thousands of dollars
interest, which it is alleged rightly be-
longs to the state.
The sheriff of Sangamon county TODAY
served legal papers of the attorney gem
eral upon exAuditor Pavey, and with
the aid of search warrant issued on the
request of the auditor made search of
Pavey's residence for the missing books
and vouchers of the insurance depart
ment. The search was fruitless and the
ex-auditor took occasion to inform the
official that this is contest which is to be
fought out to the last resources of the
law

COLD SNAP ENDED.
A Break Has Occurred in the Cold in
Montana.
The Thermometer Registed Ten Below
Last Night Against Forty-Two
Below on Monday.

HELENA, Mon, Feb. Especial. i
There was break today in the cold that
has prevailed in Montana for ten days
past. Though the thermometer tonight
is 10 below zero, the change from 40 be-
low in the temperature since Monday last
is so decided that in comparison it seems
warm. The cold has been accompanied
by snow almost every day, the total fall
being about two feet on the level. Fortu-
nately the local coal roads have not been
blockaded and there has been no scarcity
of fuel. Through trains on the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern, however,
have been greatly delayed. The Great
Northern trains yesterday and today have
been abandoned, owing to the heavy
snow between Havre and Minot, N. D.. q,
while the Northern Pacific trains, both
from the east and west, have been from
six to twelve hours late.
Reports from the stock grazing sections
are to the effect that cattle have not SUI
fered so far to any extent, and unless it
grows colder again the losses will be very
small. During the past week the lowest
temperature was reached in Helena since
the establishment of the weather bureau,
which has recorded AZ below. AT New
hart. near Great Falls, the lowest tempe
nature is reported at so below.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Feb. Especial. j
The single ballot taken today for United

to talk the situation over dispassionately
and in the hope of arriving at some basis
on which a senator can be elected.

ZANTE'S EARTHQUAKE.
Damage to the Island the Worst il
Modern Times.
The People Are Panic-stricken and Many
Are Now Hopelessly
Insane.

ATHENS, Feb. Sit is an undisputed
fact that the earthquake during the past
two or three days is the worst that has
done damage on the island in modern
times. The shock experienced last night
did enormous damage; in fact, the whole
island is devastated. To add to the terror
of the inhabitants most terrific thunder
storm prevailed at the time of the shocks.
People were panic stricken and so great
was the fear inspired that many persons
entirely lost their reason and now are
hopelessly crazy. An unfortunate fea-
ture of the situation is the fact that last
night shocks destroyed the bread ovens in
tie town of Zante rendering it impossi
BILE for the greater portion of the inhab-
itants to procure the most necessary arti-
cles of food.
A minister of the interior has arrived at
Zante and will do everything in his power
to relieve the distress. King George will
start for Zante onSunday. A British war
ship and three vessels belonging to the
Greek navy arrived at the island to day
with supplies, tents, provisions and med

Colonel Ashford Says They Represent a
Majority of the People
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Colonel Volney G.
Ashford, ex-commander of the Hawaiian
forces was in the city today. He is Of
opinion that the United States must either
annex the Sandwich islands or let them
alone. The protectorste, he declares,
will be distasteful to Hawaiians. They
twould in all probability prefer an indie
pendent republic or even the return to the
government of the deposed queen. 81
have seen it strongly questioned, 2" he
said. stwhether the gentleman who are
representing the provisional government
at Washington represent the majority of
the people. l can most emphaticall say
they do.''
Z Il is reported that the British inhabi-
tants of the islands ere more numerous
than Americans and, therefore, British in
fiuence is above par there. That is
q very great mistake. Americans are most
numerous, and the desire for British rule
or for annexation to the British empire
amounts comparatively to nothing. Even
the British residents of the islands realize
that the commercial prosperity of the
Sandwich islands lies in annexation to
the United States. l do not believe Great
Britain viii file any protest against an
nexation OF the islands by the United
States.
The story that Spreckels is behind the
revolutionary movement is ridiculed by
Colonel Ashford. Spreckels, he said,
held so many liens on sugar plantations
that an era of depression which would
enable him TO foreclose OF the planters is
the desire of his heart. II the planters
could obtain the same market for their
output as before the passage of the Nc
Kinley law, ii meant prosperity for them
and payment of their mortgages. There
fore, he said. Spreckels wanted monar-
chial government.

JUDGE JAcKsoN,s APPOINTMENT,
Reasons why the President Sent a
Name to the Senate.

Reasons Why the President Sent His
Name to the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-There are many
President Harrison to appoint Demo-
crat to succeed the late Justice Lamar on
the supreme bench. The statement comes
very direct that he was led to do this be-
cause of the opposition to his making
any nomination and responsibility for
failure to nominate Republican is said
to lie upon twelve Republicans in the
senate who had determined to oppose any
confirmation proposed by the president.
1t was at first his intention to nominate
either Judge Emery Speer or Judge Par
dee, but on making inquiries among Re-
publican senators as to which would be
most apt to secure ready nomination he
discovered there were about twelve Re-
publican senators who would oppose any
confirmation partly on account of their
personal antagonism to the president and
partly on account of their desire to bring
other matters to the front in the senate.
At first on discovering this President
Harrison decided he would not send in
any nomination. He held to this purpose
until after noon yesterday when he be-
came convinced that democrat might
be confirmed with the aid of Democratic
Senators, then decided to send in nomi-
nation that would be confirmed and whose
confirmation would give very important
circuit iudgeship to be filed by Repub-
lican. The Senators who opposed his
making the appointment will probably
try to prevent any confirmation and there
appears to be strong probability they
may succeed unless advantage be taken of
the custom of Senatorial courtesy -
which discountenances delay in action on
the nomination of an ex-senator, and the
matter may be forced to the front with
promptness.
If confirmation is secured promptly it is
expected the president will nominate
Judge w. o. Bradley, of Kentucky, who
is one of the prominent leaders of the
southern Republicans, and was very
prominently spoken of at Minneapolis for
the nomination for the vice presidency,
to succeed Judge Jackson on the circuit
bench. The fact that Judge Jackson is
favored by Justice Brown of the Supreme
bench and President Harrison's brother,
if Republican could not be confirmed.
had some influence in inducing the ap-
pointment of Judge Jackson under exist
ing circumstances.

Against America.

He Says the Queen Has Always Protested
Against America.
VIENNA, Feb. g. Tdgebldtt publishes
an interview relative to the queen of Ha-
wall who says the queen frequently pro-
tested against the cruelty OF American
sugar planters towards the natives. She
also objected against the Importation of
Chinese principally because she feared
they would bring ieprosy with them. The
fact that she was the owner of large sugar
plantations was also the cause of trouble
between her and the Americans. The
object of the new constitution was to pro-
tect the lower classes from foreigners.
The queen is said to have upset her plans
and the Americans brought about the rev.
olution.
The Americans prevented the marriage
of Princess Kalulani to distant relative
OF the English royal family because they
feared to increase the British influence,
and tried to make a match between the
princess and an American relative. The
queen describes her as a woman of
fine mind, an accomplished pianist and
talented composer.

APOSTOLIC DELEGATE.
The Pope Sends Archbishop Francis
this Country.

The Pope Sends Archbishop Francis to
this Country.
ROME, Feb. 3--The holy congregation
OF propaganda has addressed the follow
ing declaration to the Roman Catholic
arch bishops Of the United States:
s'Most illustrious and most reverend
sirs: The supreme pontiff has many
reasons of sadness on account OF distress
which the imprudent endeavors of wicked
men are trying to bring upon Christi
anity, especially in Europe. On the other
hand it is great consolation to him to
see the increase of Catholicism with Gods
aid elsewhere in the world. This is es-
pecially true of the great republic for
where scarcely centuary ago there was
hardly vestige of CathoIicity we see now
the church fourishing in great number,
it is faithful, in its institutions of govern
ment, its orders and hierarchy and its
large senate OF bishops. Encouraged
therefore, the pontiff not only follows
with great interest the things pertaining
to the good OF religion in these parts, but
has tried to show plainly his great solicit
tude.
''When the university at Washington
opened, 1t pleased the pOntiff TO send a
prelate to Congratulate the bishop on the
event and to encourage them to still
greater works. Now in the fourth cen
tury after the shores of America, sep
arated by the ocean from the old world,
were first discovered, and while the mem
DRY of the suspicious event is being cell
ebrated in festivals, the pontiff who is a
great admirer of the republic, delegates
the same prelate, a man of the highest
dignity, to testify to the pope's regard for
this post.
''Care of the most thoughtful pontiff
has not rested here. Since the growth
had brought the church in America to a
stage of maturity in which it ought to be
favored with institutions, with which the
church has fiourished elsewhere, the pom
tiff does not desire that there should be
any obstacle to supplying those aids of
Christianity whereby there may be closer
union with the center, and whereby
christian unity may more greatly increase.
Bis holiness, therefore, orders the
holy congregation OF propaganda to sig
Nifty to the bishops of the United States
that he has determined to appoint the
venerable Francis, titular archbishop of
Lepanto, apostolic delegate to the United
States. This, according to the custom of
the church, seemed appropriate to the
state Of dignity which the Catholic re-
ligion has attained in America, and es-
pecially on account of other peculiar cir
cumstances. Therefore, doubtless you,
illustrious prelates, will receive joyfully
what the pontiff has thought it well to do
for the honor and good of the church.
"While informing you of this most
wise determination OF his holiness, we
express the firm hope that you will dill
gently assist the distinguished man whom
the pastor of the whole church has made
delegate among you In everything per-
tanning to your affairs.

ton of propaganda Jan. IS, 1893.

STEVENS DISPATCH.
It Was Received at the State Department
Yesterday.

1t Was Received at the State Department
Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Dispatches from
Minister Stevens at Honolulu and COM
? mander of the Boston, were received by
mail at the state and navy departments
today. 1t is stated that they confirm the
information made public through these
dispatches from San Francisco and tele-
grams received by the state and navy de-
1,ar.ments concerning the Hawaiian revo-
luton. There is, however, one fact en-
bodied in Minister Stevens dispatch that
puts a somewhat different aspect on his
action than has been derived from press
dispatches. This is nothing more nor
less than the point that the revolution
was complete surprise to the minister as
well as to the commander of the Boston.
The minister left Honolulu on the Bos-
ton early in January for visit in some
Of the other islands without the idea that
any trouble was impending, and the Bo5-
ton did not return to Honolulu until Jan.
IA, and the minister says he was very
much astonished to find the country in
state of turmoil and excitement The
events of the next few days following the
arrival of the Boston, however, culmi
mated on the Sth in the reinforcement of
Queen Lil1uokalani.
The above information is received from
an official of the state department, who
explained its significance by saying it
showed conclusively that representatives
OF the United States had not started the
revolutionary movement and in TACT We're
not on the ground until after 1t was under
full Roadway.
