.FAILED On CONFIRMATION.
Thirty-Six Nominations of Harri-
son Fail to Pass Muster.
BUT ONE WAS REJECTED
That One Was John L. FindIey Of
Maryland.
The Probate Judge of sanpete County
Was Also Laid Upon the Shelf
Judge Jaci<son's Successor Was
Also Quietly Shelved.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-There were
thirty-six nominations sent to the Senate
by President Harrison during the last
session that failed of confirmation. OF
this number, one was rejected, that Of
John L. Findlay of Maryland, to be arbi-
traitor of the United States on the Chilean
claims commission. The name of G. NJ.
Lambertson was substituted by the pres
ident, but no action was taken on it by
the Senate. The most important nomi
nation not sanctioned by the Senate was
that of Benton Hanchett of Michigan, to
be United States circuit judge for the
Sixth judicial district, to succeed Judge
Jackson, confirmed as associate Justice of
the United States Supreme Court. For
purely political reasons Democratic SEN
ators used their influence to prevent
Hanchett' s confirmation.
Three army nominations for desirable
positions failed for lack of action. One
was that OF Lieutenant John A. Dapray
to be paymaster with the rank of major.
The promotion of Colonel Elwell 8. Otis
to be brigadier- general in place of GEN
eral Carr who was forced to retire also
fell through antagonism of the general
friends who objected to his retirement.
Among the other failures were that of
Lycurgus r. Woodward to be commits
sioner for the District of Alaska; Rees f..
Lewelly to be judge OF probate in the
county of Sanpete, Utah; Silas e. Forsha
receiver OF public moneys at Rapid City
S. d., and several postmasters.

Relations with the United States.

He Reviews the History of Hawaiian
Relations with the United States.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-In a lengthy
interview on Feb. Is with United States
Minister Stevens, the latter reviewed the
history of The relations between the
United States and Hawaii for the past
forty-tive years ands said that
annexation of the islands was only
a logical sequence of that train of affairs.
The minister expressed the opinion that
the sentiment of the United States is now
practically unit in favor of annexation
and that such being the case no question
would arise between the incoming and
outgoing administrations as to when the
government should act.
So far as the native Hawaiians are con-
cerned Minister Stevens stated he was
daily receiving assurances from the most
prominent men in Ahu and other islands
that they will support the course of the
United States government. The contract
labor system might reed some attention
he thought, but with the expiration of
the present contracts that difficulty
would be practically solved.
Local papers are full of articles bearing
on the topic of annexation. Several
strong articles have appeared in the ma
tive papers and John Sheldon, one of the
editors of HdlUGii HOtUtBld, was arrested
on a charge of contempt of legislative
council publishing a page in his paper
containing an attack on the provisional
government. 1t speaks of the revolution
as 1.-The Legitimate kid of Stevens and
the sugar planters, of which Wits was
the Ciry nurse. -

A Reception Given to the General Public
An Anxious to Shake Hands with
the President-A Second
Reception Held.

WASHINGTON, March Crowds OF dis
tinguished visitors began to storm the
White House early today and Mr.. Cleve-
land was obliged to forego his work and
listen to words of congratulation from the
governors of states, senators, representa-
tiYes and hosts OF others. Shortly after 8
O'Clock brass bands began to play in the
vicinity of the White House and stepping
out to their music came political
organizations. The driveway leading to
the main do0rWays Of the White House was
soon packed with people anxious to shake
hands with the president The Samuel j.
Randall club of Philadelphia, 100 strong,
was the first organization to obtain adj
mittance, and it was followed by others.
After the clubs came multitude of the
general public. They poured in the main
doorway in droyes; two lines of people in
double file marched under the portico
from noon till l O'Clock, and in through
the main doorway, then into The east
room past the bowling, smiling, hand
shaking chief magistrate, around the
apartment and out of the windows of exit.
The president kept up this monotonous
routine until a messenger came to his
relief at O'Clock and informed him that
the Worlds fair delegation was waiting
for him in the cabinet room. Mr.. CleVe-
land left the east room immediately, much
to the disappointment of hundreds who
failed to see him, and these were not paci-
fed by the announcement from the door
keeper that the president would return at
o clock.
At 2 o. clock the president received more
callers. 1t is estimated that nearly 5000
people shook his hand during the day.

An Attempt to Put Mrs. Dominis on the
Throne Frustrated.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-The bark
Carrier Dove today arrived here from
Honolulu late this evening. She brings
advices from the Associated Press CORE
spondent up to Feb. 10Th. He says as the
work of the provisional government pro-
crosses the differences between the old and
new form of government become apparent
and give more satisfaction to American
residents. Captain Good, commanding
the barracks under the present military
system, told your correspondent that he
had learned few days before that there
was plan on loot to get the ex-oueen
back into place. This would mean a
great deal to the minds of the natives, in
fact an assumption once more of royal
authority.
The captain issued an order that if Mrs.
Dominis, the deposed queens attempted to
enter the palace without a pass properly
signed, to refuse her admission, and if
forcible entrance was attempted to resist
it and a guard would be there in short
order. His course was approved by the
provincial government, and no attempt
has been made yet by Mrs. Dominis to
carry the plot into effect.

HALL TIE PUG1LIST.
He Reached New Orleans Twelve Hours
Behind Time.
Everything in Readiness for the Big Fight
of Wednesday-Both Men in
Good Condition.

NEW ORLEANS, March 6.-After weary
journey of continuous riding, inter-
epersed with numerous delays, sidetrack-
ing, ETC., the special train conveying jim
Hall and friends reached this city more
than twelve hours behind the time
scheduled. The delay was occasioned by
the difficulty experienced in getting
through Washington on account of
the large throngs of people attending
the inauguration ceremonies. Six hours
was lost at that point, while instead of
being made up by fast running after
leaving Washington, the agony was only
piled on by missing connections until the
climax was capped by the car conveying
the Hall party being dropped at Atlanta,
where they lay over several hours to be
picked up by a local, which stopped at
every wood pile.
Hall himself did not mind the long
journey and rather enjoyed the rest. It
was unfortunate that Hall was kept on
the road 50 long, as it deprived him of a
whole days training, as he contemplated
getting in New Orleans to get rid of the
stiffness and natural effects of the long
and tlresome journey. Hall claims, how
ever, to feel no bad effects of the trip.
Fitzsimmons will enter the ring at about
166 pounds and Hall ITO.

QUIET IN HONOLULU.
Matters Moving Smoothly Under the
Provisional Government.
Diverse Opinions Expressed as to the
Proper Course for the United states
co Pursue.

SAN FRANCISCO, March s.-Advtces to
the Associated press from Honolulu to
February ID, say that everything is NOV
Ing along smoothly under the provisional
government. Opinions as to the proper
course for the United States under the
circumstances are as diverse as the many
factions in Hawaiian politics. Generally,
however, American and German interests
strongly favor annexation, the natives
are divided. English sentiment is more
favorable to annexation than the HaWaiin
republic and it is stated that at no time
within five years would England have
seriously protested against annexation by
the United States.

Washington Is Given Exhibit of IIlu-
minatiOn and Fireworks.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Incidental to
the inauguration festivities was the illQ-
mination tonight OF the Capitol building
and Pennsylvania avenue and the display
of fireworks on the monument grounds.
These were to have taken place Saturday
evening, but owing to the inclement
weather of Saturday and for other reasons
they were postponed until tonight. Elec-
trio suns were placed on stands twelve
feet high in front of the Capitol, and the
illumination of that building in effect
was beautiful, and the structure being on
a hill. its full sharp outline was visible
miles away.
The lighting of the avenue was effected
by forty Examinations and these were
supplemented by revolving suns at the
treasury, completing a scene of great
brilliancy.
The best entertainment of the evening
was the pyrotechnical display in the
monument grounds, where for about an
hour the crowds were treated to perfect
fusillade of explosions following each
other in rapid succession and including
all the numerous devices known to the
pyrotechnic art.

PANAMA via Galveston, March GA
new revolution has broken out in south
ern Honduras which may lead to the
overthrow of President Pinciano Leiva,
and possibly involve ali the Central Amer
lean republics in war. PolicaTpo Bonilla
is leader Of the new revolt, and he has
started in so well that he has sent word to
his friends IN Panama that success is
already assured. General Terrencia Sierra
is chief Of the revolutionary army which
BOnilla has organized, and together they
make up the strongest combination that
could be formed in southern Honduras.
Bonilla's first victory was won yesterday
on the plaza at Choluteca. That town
was protected by force Of ], 800 men COM
manded by General Matute. With an army
of only 1000. Bonilla and General Scria
attacked the forces garrisoned at
Choluteca. They met a brave resist
ance and a hotiy contested battle
was fought on the plaza. The loss on
each side was heavy and many buildings
were destroyed, but details of the fatal
tiles have not reached this city.
Alter more than two hours OF deter
mined fighting General Matute's broken
and shattered army was forced to retreat
large amounts OF arms and many pris-
oners in the hands OF Borilla's victorious
army. Excited by their victory and de-
termined to make the most OF il, Borilla
and Sierra are now pushing on towards
Tegueigalpa, hoping to capture the cap
ital and proclaim the success OF the revo-
luton before the government has had
time to recover from their surprise, occa-
sionde by the victory at ChOluteca. A
decisive battle between the army Of Leiva
and Borilla's forces is expected to take
place within few days.
Meanwhile complications are arising
which may bring about a general war
among Central American Republics.
President Leiva accuses the government
OF Nicaragua of aiding Borilla in bring
ing about the revolution. He has tele-
graphed President Sacasa at Managua,
demanding an explanation. President
Leiva expects to have the aid OF Guate-
mala, and should Sacasa openly attempt
to reinforce BOrilla, both COST Ries and
San Salvador may declare war against
Nicaragua, and thus involve all the Cen
trail American republics, save one, in
blOOdshed.

New YORK, March 6.-Money was ac-

Last loan at 90, closing offered at so with
30 bid. The president of one of the larg-
est banks in the city said this evening
with reference to the bidding of 80 per
cent. for money on the stock exchange
today before II O'Clock that the TACT was
only another Illustration of the absurd
way in which some brokers acted when in
critical times. 'Some fellows,'' he ad-
ded, 'sgot alarmed this morning
and bid for money at Howe when
there was no one around to lend money.
The banks had not got their clearances
and didn't know how they stood. at the
clearing house they never know whether
they viii have any money to lend until
they learn that. Possibly some persons
knew they would want money today at
any price'and were afraid they might not
be able to get it later in the day and the
only result was to make it practically a
fictitious rate.''

a RIOT IN HAVANA.
An American Base Bail Team Causes
a Fight.

a Fight.
HAVANA, March ga serious conflict
occurred yesterday at AlenendaTez which
nearly resulted in serious injury to a
number Of American young women. A
party of Americans known as the Amer
lean Female Base Ball club has been go
ing about playing against Cuban clubs.
Yesterday the club was playing at Alenen-
darez, their opponents being local club
composed of young men, a majority of
the spectators were respectable and well
behaved, but the attendance also included
a share OF the lowest dregs of society.
These latter became irritated at the play
ing of the American visitors and some of
them claimed to be convinced it was sim
ply farcicaI and did not show professional
skill. They ciamored for a return OF
their money, and at length broke seats
and set fire to the fence around the play
ground.
This caused general CONSERVATION
among the female players who were gal
lantly defended by the young men of the
Cuban club, and by respectable ma
iority of the spectators. Horrible con-
fusion ensued but the police finally sue
ceeded in dispensing the mob and giving
protection to the young women.
