Hawaiian Provisional Government
Will Fight if Necessary.
MR.. GRESHAM IS SCORED
The Council Recommends That Mr.. Willis
BE Given His Passport If the eN-
Queen Is to Be Restored.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 13.-Honolulu
advices under date of December say
the provisional government threatens
to resist the restoration of the royal
lists. Things have been turbulent since
the steamer brought Minister Willis in
structions which is believed is TO the
effect that he shall restore the Mon
archy with the aid Of the United States
troops if necessary.
AS soon as the minister's instructions
were received 600 annexationists as
sembled at the executive building and
a wildly enthusiastic meeting was held.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the mass meeting:
Resolved, We read with surprise and regret
the recommendation of the secretary of state
OF the United States to the president to re-
store the monarchy lately existing in Hawaii.
We condemn the assumption of the secretary
that the right of the provisional govern
ment to exist terminated by hir refusal to re-
submit to the senate the treaty OF union
pending between the two countFi9s. and also
his assumption that the provisi|h.x oyern-
ment submitted the question of it's cyAdnued
existence to the arbitration Of the president
or any other power We will support to the
best OF our ability the provisional govern
ment in resisting any attack upon. it which
may be contrary to the usage of nations.
President Hatch of the annexation
club spoke at length, the keystone of
the gentleman's remarks being that
the provisional government has asked
no arbitration in the matter of who
shall govern Hawaii and denying the
right of President Cleveland TO inter
fere with the existing state of affairs
Notice has been given to the com
manders of all warships lying off Hon
nolulu that they will not be allowed to
land troops without the written con-
sent of the provisional government,
and active preparations for defense and
aggression have been made.
Owing to the uncertainty as to the
exact nature of the minister's instruc-
tions, the advisory council adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolved That the executive council in
quire OF the American minister whether his
instructions we're covered by and in harmony
with the letter OF Secretary Gresham to
President Cleveland. Ii so whether he was
instructed to use force.
Resolved, That should the answer be in the
affirmative these councils recommend that
Mr.. Willis be Immediately given his passport
and the ex-queen made prisoner Of state.
In view of the attitude assumed by
President Cleveland, American citizens
yesterday presented a protest to Minis
ter Willis which has been numerously
signed, in which they set forta that any
attempt to support by arms the queen
would be an act of war, unless the
United States gave previous notifca-
tion of it's hostility TO Hawaii and with
drew its minister.

Three Big Valleys on Puget Sound
Overlooked.
RIVERS RAGING TORRENTS
People Seeking Refuge in the Foothills
for Themselves and Stock--The Loss
viii BE Tremendous.

SEATTLE, Dec. 12.-The incessant rains
of the last few days show their effects
in the steady rise in all creeks that
feed the rivers that form the series of
valleys south of Seattle. These rivers,
which embr ace the White, Black, Green,
Cedar and Duwamish, have finally
arisen above their banks and flooded
every valley, endangering much live
stock and farm property and creating
great apprehensions of ruin to many
farmers. The floods are the highest in
is years. In White river valley the
whole river bottom, from the foothills
on either side of the valley, is a great
expanse of rushing waters. The farm
ers and families have abandoned their
homes in the river bottoms. Yesterday
and the day before the farmers were
busy driving cattle and stock out of
the river bottoms to the foothills and
the high grounds In the White river
valley the fasmers' houses are as rule
on the high ground, but the water is
hbW SUI AOAAh4AS hASSN Va hh~ "a ~ SAAAA 60
In several places the floors of dwellings
are flooded, aud in instances part of
the first story of houses is covered.
Where farmers have been unable to get
cattle out before the food, the cattle
have huddled together on knobs of
ground and are standing in water from
to three feet deep.
The whole of Black river valley is
submerged. 1t is impossible to tell
where the river channel is, as even the
highest land between the foothills is
under water. Farmers have abandoned
their houses and escaped in boats to the
foothills. The stock which was not
driven out before the food was either
drowned or huddled in groups on high
ground, starving and freezing in the
storm. The water is the highest in IS
years. The damage to property will be
very heavy. In many of the hop yards
the river left the banks in many places,
cutting new channels directly through
fine farm lands and hop yards, and Until
the water subsidies it is impossible to
approximate the damage. Black river
fell four inches during the night, but
the continued downpour today looks
very unfavorable.
Mr. Fox, who lives out on Duwamish
river, reports the whole valley under
water Fences, hop poles and all other
lighter improvements have been car
ried away by the food. Black river
is backed up and is pouring into Lake
Washington in torrents. The lake is
several inches higher than has ever
been known before. Various docks on
the eastern side of the lake are sub
merged and the water is now almost
even with the top of the dock at the
end OF Madison street. Six bridges on
Green river, including the Patton bridge,
have been washed away.

Admiral De Gama's Detection Makes the
Aspect Serious.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Brazilian
revolution has assumed new and much
more serious aspect by the declaration
of Admiral de Cana in favor of a revo-
luton and restoration of the empire.
Minister MeHdonca does not seek to be-
little the seriousness of de Gama's de-
lection. 81 know de Cana personally
and most intimately" said the minister,
land | recognize that he gives the reb-
els power and prestige they never had
before. Although he is a rear admiral
of the same rank as Mello, yet de Cana
is recognized as the most popular and
able man in the navy. The entire navy
is likely to follow de Cana, for he has
a controlling influence over most of the
officers of the navy, and those who
would not follow him through respect
would do so in fear of him"
Admiral de Cana has two protected
cruisers and two lesser warshlps inside
the harbor. Admiral Mello has the
ironclads Aquidaban and Republica out
side the harbor. Mendonca said de
Gama's declaration in favor of restor-
ing the empire would probably stimu-

FooTPADS AT HELENA.
A Family Held Up at Their Home Early
In the Evening.

III the Evening.
HELENA, Dec. 10.-Last night about
$3.50 two highwaymen went TO the house
of John Bower in the north part of
town. In answer to their knock, the
door was opened by a boy. A gun was
poked into his face and ne was ord Tered
to keep quiet. Then the robbers enter
ed the house and drove Mrs. Bower
and three children into a bedroom and
kept them prisoners for more than two
hours, in the meantime ransacking the
house, but taking nothing. When
Bower came home, and as he stepped
on the porch the highwaymen opened
the door, brought their guns down on
him, and ordered him to come quietly.
They then went through his pockets,
getting sec and a watch. Then they
left and are still at large. Bower keeps
small grocery store, ana they doubt
less expected TO get the days receipts.

NOT so BLACK AS PAINTED.

The statements of the Journals cor
respondent, Rev. Henry Tuckley, in re-
gard to the progress being made in
France and Germany towards more
strict Sunday Observance will surprise
most readers. Americans have heard
SO much about the heathenish disregard
of Sunday in continental Europe and
have so often heard the condition of
affairs there contrasted unfavOrably
with the puritanical observances in
vogue in this country that they have
f1attered themselves that their own peo-
pie were morally and socially so far in
advance of Europeans in this respect
that the latter could never hope to ar
rive at an equal standard of virtue. 1t
must, of course, be highly gratifying to
Americans to learn that they have not
monopoly of this variety of rectitude,
but that powerful influences are
working to extend its practice,
even in Paris. It will be observed, how
ever, that the reform is entirely of an
industrial. and not of religious char
acter. The movements in Germany and
France are in the interests of the labor
ing classes and to secure them day of
rest. The law. having provided this
day, will not dictate the manner in which
the rest shall be taken. Guidance in
this will be left to the religious and
moral instructors. and there is reason
to suspect that Sunday theaters and
other light amusements will continue to
flourish there, even as they do in several
American cities. The drift of the times
seems to be towards more general Sun
day observance, but as day of rest and
recreation rather than q religious holi-
day exclusively.

THE CONSULTATIONS OF THEOsOPHY.

1t is the Christian theory that our hap
piness in the next life. which is to say,
in heaven. depends upon the excellence
of our conduct here. Good behavior
here, it ia also held, ought to assure US
hap piness and contentment in this life,
but whether it does so or not is no mat
ter, since earthly happiness is really a
q thing We should willingly dispense
with in view of future bliss. AS mat
ter of scct. human nature being what it
is, contentment does not necessarily and
inevitably accompany exemplary con-
duct, and there is apt to be. even among
the veriest saints, a longing for hap
piness and kicking against the
pricks which no pious contemplation
of coming heavenly joys will hinder.
1t is here that theOsophy comes in with
its doctrine of Karma and offers solace
of O different sort. This doctrine holds
that men are what they have made
themselves, not merely by their actions
in this life, but by the acts of a series OF
lives or incernations. This, it is main
tanned, is not the first earth life of the
individual; it may be the hundredth.
Each life is a step in education-a slow
process by which the soul is being led
from human littleness to godlike great
ness. If one suffers or enjoys here it is
because he has earned sorrow or joy.
The conditions surrounding him here
do not, necessarily, indicate the rate of
progress or the degree of merit or de-
merit gained. According to theosOphy
the degree of happiness the man enjoys
marks development and happiness
is not controlled by riches or poverty.
by obscurity or rank. What the mans
state is, runs this doctrine, he is alone
responsible for; he has earned the con-
ditions, whatever they may be. Upon
himself alone depends their ameliora-
ton. Naturally, this theory simplifies
life to one who accepts it. Where
others see inequalities he sees only alb
solute justice; if he suffer deprivations
they are just; if another enjoys
happiness he has earned it. This belief

others, no room for murmuripg against

to find judge who has the backbone to
make such a deliverance. The right of
all men to labor and of property-owners
to control their own property is asserted

THOSE newspapers whose occupation
it is to admire everything Mr.. Cleveland
does are bubbling over with praise of
his course in attending ex-Presldenr
Hayes's funeral, and are saying that q
strong friendship existed between the
two men. If the two men had anything
more than the merest acquaintance with
each other the fact was never suspected
by the public in Mr.. Hayes's lifetime.
The anxiety shown to exploit the action
of the President-elect in paying his re-
spects to good mans memory savors a
little too much of an effort to make po-
litical capital at the expense of the dead.
Nothing could be more offensive.
