SAN FRANcIsco. Feb. 1.-THE steams
ship Belgic from Hong Kong and Yoko-
homs via Honolulu, arrived in port at 8
O'Clock this morning. A case of small
pox occurred soon after the vessel left
Yokohoma and the victim, Chinese
steerage passenger, was landed at Homo
lulu. The authorities there declined to
give the Belgic clean bill of health
and consequently she will 60 into quar-
antine here. She anchored in the lower
end Of the bay upon her arrival here
this morning and the officers would
not permit any mail matter to be taken
ashore.
A custom house tug with a number Of
newspaper reporters aboard went out to
the steamer and from the officers and
passengers aboard learned few facts in
regard to political affairs at Honolulu.
Martial law was declared off by the pro-
visional government February 9Th,
and everything was quiet ON
the islands. Everybody is anx-
iously awaiting news from the United
States and sentiment in favor of annex
alton appeared to be still growing. A
detachment of sailors and marines
from the United States steamship Bos-
ton was still quartered on shore. The
stars and stripes remained over the
government building. The United
States wsrship Mohicsn was just enter
ing the harbor at Honolulu as the
Belgic left there, February 11th, but
thlre was apparently no necessity for
any increase of the naval force, as the
white and native residents seemed con-
tent to await action by the Washington
government. Ex-Queen Liliuokslsni
was still in retirement at her private
residence.
The steamer Monowai was at Homo
lulu when the Belgic left there and was
to sail for San Francisco four hours later.
1t was expected that she will arrive here
sometime today. The mail matter ON
the Belgic was fumigated this morning,
but none of it was landed before neon.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Charley Mitch
ell. the English pugilist, met William
A. Brady and Billy Delaney, Corbstt's
representatives, at the World Office at A
O'Clock this afternoon. For an hour and
a half the atmosphere in the sporting
editors room was filed with English
finesse and American oratory. Mitch
ell objected to the division of the purse
to be fought for, and 80 the negotiations
were ended for the time being.
Brady and his friends kept the Mitch.
ell party waiting for half an hour, and
then forced themselves through a crowd
OF 5000 persons gathered about the
building, and the proceedings COM
menced. Mitchell thereupon produced
20 $500 bills and Brady covered them
with 10 $1,000 bills, and the whole
amount, $20, 900 was turned over to the
temporary stakeholder. The fight was
then fixed for the second week in De-
cember. The place of contest was left
open, 80 that clubs may bid for it, and
in the end the club offering the largest
purse which is. agreeable to both men
! will be given the contest.
Mitchell wanted to fight Corbett in q
12-foot ring. Brady said a champion.
ship battle could not be fought under
such conditions, and Marquis of Queens.
berry rules for finish fight in 24-foot
ring were agreed to.
1t is arranged that each should pro.

ings. Brady said the winner would oi
course take the whole purse, but Mitch
ell objected, saying he thought there
should be a division. Brady wanted all
or nothing, but was willing to let $1,000
60 to the loser for training expenses.
Mitchell, however. demanded that the
purse be divided, 80 and 20 per cent.
Brady would not consent to this, but
finally consented to let the loser have
$2500. Mitchell would accept no propo-
sition except his own, and the meeting
adjourned till tomorrow to permit Brady
to telegraph Corbett what further con-
cessions he shall make. Corbett's reply

TOPEKA, Kan. Feb. 1.-THE iniunc-
tion suit brought by the Republicans
against the auditor to enjoin him from
paying the salaries of Populist MEM
bers, under the Populist appropriation
bill, came up in the district court this
morning. Attorney General Little
made motion to dismiss the case,
maintaining that the district court has
no jurisdiction. Judge Hazen overruled
the motion, holding that the court did
have authority in the case and that the
dropping of the case was e matter of its
discretion. The attorney general then
took an exception to the decision and
appealed to the supreme court.

AFFAIRS IN THE ISLANDS.

News Brought by the Steamer Belgf0
from Hono1ulu.
Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
Honolulu, Feb. 10.-The steamship
Mariposa arrived here at 8 am. this
morning, seven days from San Fran
cisco. As the steamer rounded Diamond
Head, marine glasses turned toward
shore enabled one to see the stars and
stripes floating over the government
building. In the stream were the United
States steamship Boston and the Japan
ese training ship Kongo. Nothing had
been heard of the steamer Claudine,
which left San Francisco for Honolulu
on Thursday before the sailing of the
Mariposa.
At Honolulu the condition of affairs
has not changed since the Australia
sailed, February LIST. The provisional
government is still holding the reins Of
power, and has enacted some legislation
in addition to repeating the obnoxious
lottery bill. The advisory council, con-
eisting OF 10 members, is meeting fre-
quently, but matters Pre- generally held
IN abeyance until the commissioners at
Washington can be heard from.
The deposed Queen Liliuokalani ia re-
siding in Honolulu, and is supplied with
guard OF IL men, furnished by the
provisional government.
The United States ship Mohican. with
Rear-Admiral Skeritt, commanding the
Pacific squadron, ON board, has Just ar
rived.
Governor Cleghorn, father-in-law Of
the queen and father of Princess Kiau-
lani, was seen. He had little to say re-
garding his relations with the queen.
but said he had been informed that 3
document had been drawn up in which
Liliuokalani agreed. if failing in her
efforts to induce the United States gov
ernment to restore her to power, to ac-
cept Princess Kaiulani as her successor.
The government, he said, had sufficient
power to quell any revolution, had it
not been for the landing of troops from
the United States ship Boston, under in
structions from United States Minister
Stevens.
The American flag over the govern
ment building was raised week ago
Wednesday by the provisional govern
ment and Minister Stevens, as the sup
porters of that government are not fully
organized, and it was deemed best that
some representative of American pro-
lection be made. The flag was saluted
by the Boston's guns. President Dole
of the provisional government boarded
the Boston two days later. and was re-
ceived with a saiute of 81 guns. The
flag was raised at noon, about an hour
before the departure of Prince David
and Paul Neumann on the Australia.
Martial law has been raised. but ma
rines from the Boston are still guarding
the government building.
United States Minister Stevens greet
ed The Associated Press representative
cordially, but said his official position
prevented him from discussing the situ-
alton. There had been no disturbance
and he was we'll satisfied with the con-
duct of the natives.
President Dole also stated that mat
ters were progressing satisfactorily with
the new government and that no excite-
ment or demonstration of any kind had
occurred. According to his view, the

The CRUEL WAR IS OVER.
Peace Once More Reigns in
Bleeding Kansas.
State Troops Sent Home and
Posses Disbanded.
Republicans and Populists Agree to
Compromise.
Hostilities Suspended and the Courts
Appealed to for Settlement of
the Existing Legislative
Difficulties.

By the Associated Press.
topeka, Feb. 1.-THE state troops
have been sent home, the armed posse
of deputy Hheriffs disbanded, the Re-
publicans and Populists have laid down
their arms, and the war is over.
The developments of the day are re-
garded on all sides as a decisive victory
for the Republicans. They secure, by
the terms of the compromise, undis
puted possession of representative hall,
in the capitol, the main point for which
they had been struggling. The Populists
secure the hollow privilege of meeting
undisturbed in some other place. The
final result of the struggle, however,
will have no effect on the unfortunate
legislative muddle. The Populists say
their house will 60 right ahead making
laws, no matter what the courts may
do. The senate will continue to recog-
nize the Populist house, and the COVER
nor will sign the bills passed by it.
Should they be declared invalid by rea-
son of having been passed by an illegal
house, then the Populists say the blame
will reat on the courts. In case such a
state of things comes to pass the state
institutions-colleges, asylums, schools,
etc.-will have to to close.
VICTORY FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
When the word was received in the
Republican house that Governor Lew
cling had withdrawn the troops great
cheer went up. Speaker Douglass made
an address stating that the Republicans
had won great victory and would win
another tomorrow in the supreme court.
PoPULlsTs ALSO ExULT.
Governor Lewelling said to an Associ.
ated Press reporter this evening that the
Ponnlist party had taken no backward
atep. The FopuliBt house will now pro.
ceed without fear of molestation to the
transaction of business. Bloodshed had
been avoided, and this he said is
the crowning triumph of the Populist
victory. The governor added that he
and the senate would recognize but one
house. If the supreme court declares
the Populist house unconstitutional
then the responsibility for the acts OF
the house will rest with it. The Pop
ulists at all times deny the right of the
supreme court to determine any question
arising from the organization OF house of
representatives.
DOWNFALL OF THE MILITIA.
Brigadier-General Nettinger stated to.
night that Colonel Hughes will be court
martialed for refusing to obey the in
structions Of the governor to eject the
Republicans. 1t is not likely that
ccurt-martial proceedings against other
officers will be instituted. The present
trouble will no doubt be death blow to
the Kansas national guard, which has
90 long been the military pride of
Kansas.

Kabis to get Kline out of town. One
physician says there was drug in the
whisky. Kabis introduces evidence in

GovERNoE mKuNLEY,s LOSS.
A Bank Failure Leaves Him PractIcall y
Penniless.


Penniless.
YOUNGSTOWN, o., Feb. 17.-A Hensa-
tion was caused in business, financial
and manufacturing circles today by the
failure of Robert L. Walker, promi-
nent banker and capitalist, who made
an assignment for the benefit of his
creditors. The failure will be wide
spread in its effects, involving Governor
Mckinley, and the indications are now
that every dollars worth of property
owned by the governor will be swept
away. AS near as can be estimated the
liabilities will reach $500, 900. The fail
ure was due to investments in properties
and enterprises requiring large outlay
of money that have not as yet been pro-
ductive. From boyhood Governor Nc
Kinley and Walker have been the
closest personal friends, and the gov
ernor endorsed Walkers paper fre-
quently. The amount is not known, but
is supposed to be large.
The Girard stove works, in which
Walker was large stakeholder. failed
tonight. Liabilities $50, 900, assets un-
known.
