HE MUST USE FORCE.
Only One Way in Which the President Can
Restore the Monarch,

AUCKLAND, N. a., Dec. 9.-The steam
left Honolulu on November o. All was
quiet there. The news that Presi-
dent Cleveland intended to restore
the Queen caused great ex-
element. 1t was discussed by excited
knots OF people on the streets and was
generally condemned. A rumor was
published in the Honolulu papers that
the Queen was not willing to accept a
restoration unless she was assured of
the armed support of the United States.
The Hawaiian Gazette Of November
"a says: In the meantime the mon
archy is not restored and will not be
unless by the armed forces of the
United States, whose forces must then
continue to support the eX-Queen.
There may be small differences in
the ranks OF the party reform, but
we are to-day more united and de-
termined on the main issue than
ever before. Let every reformer put
aside all other and minor things. AS
sure as there is an Eternal Justice over
ruling the affairs of men so surely will
the gross outrage proposed to be done
to Hawaii fail of it's purpose"
LONDON, Dec. 9.-Neither the foreign
office nor the Hawaiian charge d'affairs
have any advices concerning Hawaii
from Auckland to-day. A representa-
tive of the Associated Press showed
United States Ambassador Bayard the
special dispatch to the Associated
Press from Auckland. Mr. Bay
ard read it with great interest
and then said: "President Cleveland
will n nnI l.
the most magnanimous manner and
will not force upon them a government
which they have had full chance to
discuss"
Regarding the dispatches published
III the Times and Standard to-day, indi-
eating that President Cleveland is liable
to reverse his Hawaiian policy and that
new instructions to this effect have been
sent to Hawaii, adding that the whole
would be sent to Congress, Mr.
Bayard said: '"There can be no reversal
OF a policy based simply upon justice
and magnanimity. President Cleveland's
policy is one of non-interference; he
had no Intention of entering the islands
and deposing the government. The
policy Of the United States toward
Hawaii is not a selfish one. On
the contrary, President Cleveland's in
tentlon is that no advantage shall be
taken Of the weakness of the Queens
party and that the Queen shall have a
full and fair chance to get on her feet if
possible. Hawaiian native authority
has been so enfeebled by late events |
hardly know whether the Hawaiians
can avail themselves Of the offer of the
President to restore the Queen to the
throne"
The Associated Press representative
at Liverpool has been informed that T.
II. Davis, the guardian of the Princess,
is now in Hawaii, and that the Princess
is on the continent. The latest news
received by representative Of Mr..
Davis in this country confirms the
special dispatch to the Associated Press
from Auckland, New Zealand

ASK FOR A RECEIVER.
Two Wisconsin Corporations Tr1gIed Up
Financially.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 1.--David 3.
Dewey, of Chicago, was to-day appotnt-
ed by Judge Bum, of the United States
court, receiver for the Wisconsin Iron
an Lumber Company and for the Min
neso.a& Wisconsin Railroad Company.
The read runs from Enc: aid to mine
and furnace of the iron company
at Spring Valley. EMS enator d.
NJ. Sabin is at the head
Of both companies which were organ
lied in June, 1892. The loan Sc
company of 100000 by the Massa-
chusetts Loan and Trust Company
and per the railway company of $500, 900
by the American Loan and Trust Com
pany, of Boston, for which bonds were
issued, secured by mortgages. No inter
est has been paid on these bonds and
the aggregate indebtedness of both
companies besides the bonds, is
Sl35, 900. The application for a receiver
is an amicable arrangement be-
tween the bond-holders and Mr..
Sabin in the hope of continu-
ing tn business which they
express confidence will pay when de-
veloped. 1t is claimed that the iron
and lumber company owns 10000
acres Of the best hardwood lands
in the STATE, and that the
iron mine produces the best
quality Of hematite ore. Mr.. Dewey
fled two bonds of $25. 600 each. He
will continue the business of both
companies and endeavor to put them on
q paying basis. The order Of his APP
pointment specifies that employees shall
be paid for services since June l. 1898.

CLEVELAND WRONG.
The Presidents Course with Hawaii Bitter
" Attacked in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Gin the
Senate this afternoon, when Senator
Hoar's Hawaiian resolution was taken
up, Senator Hill created a sensation by
making perhaps the strongest speech Of
bis senatorial career
Senator Hill challenged the right of
the President to use military force to
restore the Hawaiian Queen. There
are three coordinate branches Of this
government" said he, land this is an
authority which is not vested in the
President alone.
The contemplated action Of the Presi-
dent, he declared, would be a usurpa-
ton Of the rights Of Congress.
He was attentively listened TO-
throughout and the galleries rapidly
filled up as the reporto OF the sensational
character Of his speech spread through
the capitol.
At 3:35, Senator Hill finished and was
followed by Senator Sherman, who also
challenged the correctness Of the Presi-
dents position.

A BOMB IN PARIS.

Internal Machine Thrown Into the French
Chamber Of Deputies.
PARIS, Dec. "a dynamite bomb has
been exploded in the Chamber of Dep
uties and it is said that Deputy lie
Myres de Villers, a Socialist deputy and
enc attendant were killed by the explo-
sion.
The bomb was thrown at 4 o'clock
C-sactiy. Its explosion caused the ladies
in the gallery, which was we'll filled, to
become frantic. NJ. Burton Traibin, a
newspaper man, who was on the floor
of the chamber, was badly wounded in
the forehead.
1t appears that the chamber was in
session. Suddenly from the right gal
iery some sort of bomb was thrown
and fell in the midst of the assembled
deputies, causing a loud explosion.
A scene of the greatest confusion fol-
lowed. 1t is impossible to get exact de-
tails of the explosion at present, as the
police Immediately after the explosion
closed ali the doors of the Chamber of
Deputies and refused to allow anybody
to pass in or pass out until an investiga-
ton is concluded.
1t Is still said that one Of the deputies,
supposed to be Deputy lie Myres, and
one of the attendants were killed and
that number OF others were wounded.
One report has it that the deputy killed
was not LIE Myres de ViIlers but So
cialist deputy of similar name.
The explosion and the conflicting re-
ports IN circulation have caused the
greatest excitement throughout Paris
this afternoon, and full details are anx-
lously awaited.
The floor and halls OF the Chamber of
Deputies are still filled with excited
and frightened people and it seems i'm
possible to learn the extent of the dam
age done, the police having drawn
a Gordon around the spot, and until thew
see fit no details of the explosion will
be allowed to reach the public. There
are people who insist in spite of the an
nouncement of the police that nobody
was killed outright that two deputies
were killed on the spot and that many
were wounded. This report, however,
is not believed to be correct, though it
Is believed that number of deputies
were wounded. Among the wounded
deputies mentioned as being seriously
wounded is NJ. Dumas, deputy from
Allier
1t is said that the bomb seemed to be
filled with shotor slugs and that when it
exploded these missiles were thrown
with the greatest force in all directions,
reaching even as high as the galleries.
1t is announced that the police have
made several arrests from among the
people in the galleries of the Chamber
of Deputies at the time of the explosion.
One of the persons arrested is said to be
the one who threw the bomb.
The president Of the Chamber of
ltpnTtIpS NJ i1nnTE Is ~ to boI
behaved with the most admirable cool
ness and courage, and is said to have
done everything possible to restore
order and to prevent spread of the
panic which seized upon everybody
present when the EXPLOSION took rIace.

Gov. Rich VIII Convene the Michigan
Lawmakers in Extra Session.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Dec 1.-THE De-
troit relief committee, consisting of
ex-Congressman William Maybury and
two leading Detroit merchants, commits
stoned to investigate the restitution
among the miners in the upper PENN
sula of Michigan, concluded their labor
here to-day and will report that in Go
gebic, Iron and Dickinson counties the
ertO represented. The committee
spent a week in those counties
and personally investigated nearly
every case. They estimate that about
100000 will be necessary to sustain
the destitute families in decent
comfort until spring. Food and
clothing are great necessity, as
fuel is abundant. The committee
will make a special effort to induce the
mining companies to find employment
for the idle men if only at wages suffi-
Gent to support their bare existence.
They will appeal to Gov. Rich and all
charitably inclined people tor liberal
contributions. While much distress
exists in Marquette County the county
poor commissioners claim their ability
to care for their poor without outside
aid.
LANSING, Mich, Dec. Z. = Gov.
Rich stated to-day that it was not
improbable that a special session Of
the legislature would be called to
consider the matter of relief
for the Upper Peninsula miners. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 will be needed to
tide them over until May l. He is pre-
pairing to go and make personal investi-
gstion, and will decide about special
session on his return.

of their youngest daughter, Catherine, a
beautiful child years old, whose death

Shortly after midnight the household
