A DIPLOMATIC REPLY.
England Wants to Know II the Hawaiiana
Arctic Have Anything to Say.

England Wants to Know II the Hawaiiana
Ars>to Have Anything to Say.
special correspondent writing from Homo
lulu under date Of February 20 says: =
1t has been daily expected since the rebuff
given the British minister concerning the land
ing OF the Baston's marines that British diplo-
macy would soon take some new action. Mem
bers OF the executive and advisory councils
were, therefore, not greatly surprised when
President Dole announced in council day be-
fore yesterday that he was in receipt Of another
note from the British minister in which the lat
ter desired to know if he could assure his gov
eminent that the question Of the annexation Of
Hawaii to the United States of America and the
form OF local government hereunder, II any,
would be submitted to q popular vote OF the
Hawaiian people for final action.
The council viewed the whole thing - q
poorly constructed attempt to lay trap Tor
them in order to hamper future action and
therefore passed resolution insrructing Presi-
dent Dole to acknowledge the receipt OF the
British minister's diplomatic note and to con-
vey to him further the diplomatic information
that the provisional government ''would take
the matter under consideration"
This answer was forwarded to the British le-
cation during the afternoon Of February "a.
At the present writing nothing further has
been heard therefrom. 1t is the intention OF
the provisional government to keep the request
under consideration indefinitely as far as the
British minister is concerned

CAPRIVI PLEADS IN VAIN.

The Reichstag Refuses to Give Him What
He Wants for the Navy.
The committee of the German reichstae an
pointed to consider the government scheme for
the enlargement Of the German navy by the ad-
dition of a number of frst-class vessels, the
building of which would be distributed through
series of years. and by the building of new
dry docks and other improvements has made a
report advising the striking out of the votes for
six new ships Of war, and for the more modern
arming of vessels already built, and for the
proposed two dry docks at Kiel.
Admiral Hollsman supported in the strongest
manner the original estimates for the new yes-
sells, which he declared were wanted to replace
other vessels that would soon be unfit for sery-
ice. He asserted in emphatic language that the
refusal Of the money would be a death blow to
the German navy.
Chancellor Csprivi also earnestly supported
the scheme and declared that the existence of
the empire would be endangered unless it
were enabled to keep its coasts free from
blockade.
Herr Hahn, conservative, moved that, at any
rate, the money should be granted that would
be required for an ironclad to replace the
Breussen. The conservatives and several
national liberals supported Hahn's mo-
ton, but nevertheless all the items were struck
out.
In the army bill commission Wednesday
Eugene Richter, the radical leader, tried to
elicit from Count Won Caprivi the terms of o
compromise which would be acceptable to the
government. The chancellor said decidedly
that he would not put up the bill for the de-
tense Of the fatherland that it might be
knocked down to the lowest bidder, as if the
commission were at a Dutch auction"
As the chancellor's reply has been printed
verbatim in the Norddeutsche AHgemeine
Zeitung it is believed to be his ultimatun.

CHINESE REGISTRATION.
The Demand for Certificates 10 on tho In.
crease.

The Demand for Certificates 10 on tho In
crease.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.
For months past the Chinese Six Companies
have been all powerful in their hold upon the
Chinese residents Of the Pacific slope, and they
succeeded in their efforts to prevent their coun-
trymen from registering as provided by the
Geary law. While the Six Companies have I'M
doubleday shown their power, it has been purely
for financial end, and it now turns out that
after gathering in many dollars from their
countrymen to be used for defense" in case of
their arrest no defense Is to be made and all
restrictions against registering have been de-
clared off.
Confirmation Of this statement is hardly
needed when the statement is made that certifi-
Gates are being filed outand presented to appli-
cants as fast as possible and the demand for
them is on the increase
The time set for deporting Chinese who have
not possessed themselves of certificates is not
far distant-May sand there is evidence that
collector Quinn and his deputies will have q
busy time of 1t from this date on.
To register all Of the Chinese in this city alone
is q task in it elf and cannot be COMPLETED
by MAY .. The only avenue that the Chinese
have left is to show their good faith by making
application. That such proceeding will re-
suit is not doubted by the revenue officials, who
have charge Of the entire business of register
ing the Chinese.
ENFORCING THE LAW.
That the law calling for the gathering in of
the Chinese without certificates after May will
be enforced goes without saying. Collector
Quinn states that Congress has outlined his
duties and he has nothing to do but obey the
law.

WAS HE CONsPIRED AGAINST
Downfal Of . Promising Young Londo,
Radical.

Radical.
A deep and painful sensation has been Gre
ated in London journalistic and literary circles
by the ignominious punishment inflicted yes-
terday upon Mr.. Frederick Henderson, men,
Der of the L ondon county council Mr. Hen
derson is only twenty-five years of age and a
poet OF such promise that Mr.. Gladstone him
self recently spoke of the young man in terms
Of hope and eulogy..
Henderson was for some time employed on
the Star, the radical evening paper. and used
to report the proceedings of the county council,
to which he was elected in March, 1892. as a
progressive member for Chaplain. He subse-
quently found means for devotinp himself al
most exclusively to public work, and has been
considered young man of brilliant promise.
He is the youngest member of the county
council. Henderson has advocated socialism,
although not of the extreme type, and he has
an ample head of hair, while his clothes suggest
the professional bicyclist.
Lord Roseberry. as well as Mr. Gladstone,
extended patronage over the youthful poet.
Yesterday Fred Henderson was tried in court
on the charge of robbing prostitute of the
small sum of shillings The evidence was
strongly against him, but he made passionate
speech in the dock protesting his innocence.
He was found guilty and sentenced to four
months imprisonment with hard labor Hen
dersOn has many friends. and an effort will
doubtless be made to obtain his liberation.
The conviction greatly pleases the tory ele.
ment. who regard with bitter apprehension the
course OF the progressives in the county coun-
Gil, and who point to the affair as evidence of
the degrading tendencies of popular rule and of
the superiority OF the old system of restricted
suffrage in the choice of Londons admins
traitors.

AN INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE.
Minister Mendonca's Coachman Had Dim.
Guilty With the Police.

Minister Mendonca's Coachman Had Diha-
Guilty With the Police.
Saturday night at the inaugural ball Norman
johnson. coachman for Minister Mendonca,
who represents Brazil, and Police Officer Duvall
of the third precinct figured in an affair which
resulted in the arrest and subsequent release of
the coachman and now the matter has been
complained of at the State Department by
Minister Mendonca.
The officer will also file charges against the
coachman and Secretary Gresham will have an
opportunity to settle the international dispute.
According to the complaint Of the minister,
the coaehman, unacquainted with the rules
governing the movement of vehicles at the ball.
started to drive out the wrong way when two
policemen stopped him and beat the horses
with their clubs.
johnson. he charges, was dragged off the
coach and taken off TO the police station and
the footman drove the horses home. The MEM
bers of the minister's family who were in the
carriage were badly frightened and would have
alighted from the carriage had not a police
lieutenant held the door.
On the other side the assault on johnson is
denied and the officer saws that the driver re-
fused to regard his warnings, and when he vio-
lated the regulations the second time he spoke
to him and johnson cut him across the face
with his whip. 1t was then that he was placed
under arrest and as soon as his identity was
established he was released.

IL Was . Tame Affair and Not Well At
tended.
The French ball ia evidently an exotic that
does not take root well in the soil of Washing
ton. The second ball Of tie sort this winter
took place last night at the Builders Exchange
Hall, and sadder or gloomier affair it would
be difficult to imagine. The attendance was
wofully small and the efforts of the dancers
to be gay were pitiable in the extreme. 1t was
. micareme ball given by l. Union Fraternelle
de Langue Franchise and the union will proba-
bly, have to foot the bills, for the receipts we're
hardly enough to have paid for the rental Of
the hall.
Up TO midnight the crowd consisted Of two
gilt-haired young ladies in costume and about
half dozen others who had painted their
faces instead Of wearing masks. There were a
few reporters. two men in evening dress. few
who were not 20 elaborate, a number Of COM
mitteemen with gorgeous badges. an orchestra
Of dozen pieces and enough policemen to
have arrested the whole crowd man for man.
IL was an orderly assemblage and the wine
that was for sale in the dining room not
called for in sufficient quantities to liven things
up to any considerable extent. 1t was very
much like any other ball. except that the guests
did not have 80 much fun. They tried to be
gay, but they were lost in the size of the hall
and an air of gloom hung over it all like
dark cloud When the orchestra
PLAYED a waltz two or three couples would wan
der around t. the music and endeavor TO make
themselves think they were having q recklessly
good time. Square dances had to be abandoned
because there were not enough dancers to
make up set. Notwithstanding the character
Of the crowd the ball too respectable to be
called q success as . French ball. After mid
night q few more people dropped in, but not
enough to make things gay, and at no time
were there more than dozen couples on the

MUTINY ON THE PACIFIC,
Stories of Blood and Murder Which Have
Reached San Francisco.

Stories of Blood and Murder Which Have
Reached San Francisco.
Two bloody stories of mutiny and murder on
the high seas were brought to San Francisco by
the steamer Australia. One mutiny occurred
on the whaling bark William Boyles, which re-
suited in the dangerous wounding Of the fourth
mate. Joe Baptiste. by a sailor named Carl
Hendrix. Six Of the crew came mp on the
steamer, while thirteen are in irons at Homo
lulu. The other occurred on the American
bark Hesper, which resulted in the death of the
second mate, NJ. Fitzgerald.
The Hesper reached Honolulu February %.
The captain brought information Of a plot to
kill him and fou- Others and their lives were
only saved by the accidental discovery Of the
first murderous move on the part of the mutin-
GUS crew. The plot was Matched by Thomas
Leclair, sailor who shipped as native Of
Norway but it was afterward learned that he
was born in New York. Leclair's partners in
crime were Herman Sparf, Hans Hansen. Thos.
Green and Edward Larsen. They picked out a
dered the second mate by attacking him with q
Ratchet
The murderer lay in wait midships and when
his victim came along he struck him a blow on
the back Of the head with the sharp edge of the
Ratchet and almost instantly killed him. Sparf
and Hansen wanted to throw the body over
board and then remove all the traces of the
crime by washing up the blood stains. Leclair
would not consent to this and Immediately pro-
posed that they go after the captain and other
marked men and murder them also. His COM
panions weakened and would not give their
consent and Leclair left them and went aft.
Two men then picked up the body of the
murdered man ard threw it overheard.
The next day the captain placed Leclair,
Sparf and Hansen in irons and then changed
his course and made for Tahiti. which was
reached after a voyage of fourteen days. The
mutineers confessed their crime.

FOR EvICTED TENANTS RELIEF,
The Plan of the Commission Appointed
by Parliament.

The Plan of the Commission Appointed
by Parliament
The evicted tenants commission has pre-
sented its report to the British parliament.
The commission was appointed last October
and has been at work since November 8. Its
purpose was ito inquire into and to ascertain
what just means should be adopted to bring
about settlements as to evicted tenants in Ire
land"
The commissions report proposed that land
commissioner or special commissioner be ap-
pointed to settle disputes. When arbitration
fails the commissioner should determine rea-
sonable terms on which the tenant may pur-
chase the holding and lIquidate the arrears of
rent. A tenant should be able to stock his hold
ing by means of a loan upon the security of the
rates upon application to the board of guar
dians.
Where the planter had substantial interest
in a holding the commissioner should be en-
powered to make terms; where the planter had
no such interest the former tenant should be
reinstated. or if that should be impracticable
the commissioner should buy similar holding
and sell it under the land purchase act to the
evicted tenant.

Lady Blanche's Maid Wouldn't Stand 1t.
The hearing of the charges Of adultery made
by Lord Frederick Howard de Walden against
his wife, Lady Blanche, was continued yester-
day in the London divorce court. Various wit
nesses testified to the effect that her ladyship
and Count Jean de Madre had been in the habit
Of visiting each another.
Miss Crook. former maid Of Lady Blanche,
corroborated the testimony of Crokham, the
former valet of De Madre, in regard to the init
macy between the pair. She testified that
Count Paul de Madre entered the room of her
ladyship in the hotel at Pau on two successive
nights and the witness did not see him leave.
The witness gave her mistress notice that she
was going to leave and told her that she would
not be mixed up with that sort Of thing.
