san FRANCISCO, March 2S-The
United States steamer Alliance arrived
from Samoa, via Honolulu, this morn
ing. The Alliance made the trip up
from Honolulu la eleven deys. 2. &.
Jones, minister of finance for the pro-
visiOnal government, has resigned,
owing TO iii health, and +. &. Porter
has been appointed To succeed him. A
movement is on foot TO form political
organization of the friends of anneXa-
ton for the purpose of supporting the
government and assisting I'm securing
the annexation of the islands to the
United States. The provisional gov
erHment is administering public affairs
in a conservative manner and is
strengthening its lines in every way.
This is being done in order to maintain
the situation until such time as the
United States shall complete measures
for taking the Hawaiian islands into
the fold. Sentiment in favor Of annex
alton has, Notwithstanding reports to
the contrary, been surely gaining
ground, and among number
who originally opposed it are
now many Of its most ardent
supporters. The ex-queen remains
secluded and refuses to see anyone with
the exception of certain persons who
stand nearest TO her. The news Of the
visit Of Princess KauliIani to America
and her written appeal to the people o.
the United States, provoked only
amusement at Honolulu. A story i
current that the princess is engaged t'
marry a son Of Davies, her guardian.
1t is believed that Japan has designs
upon the islands owing to the employ
ment Of large number of her subjects
on the plantations. Chief Justice
Judd, in speaking about the matter
instanced that the captain of the Japa
nese cruiser Naniwa had called upoI
the provisional government and sale
that If the United States abandoned
its protectorate the japanese woulC
consider that no government existed
i'm the islands and would raise thel
flag.
Col Volney Ashford, who has beer
Obliged to leave here for the states TO
advocating what the provisional gov
ernment is seeking to bring about
namely, annexation, in conversation
with a United Press correspondent
said that Japan was power not to b
despised, and he was satisfied that tn
! Nanjya would have made an effort :
annex or establish a protectorate in tn
island had she not been forestalled b
Minister Stevens.

At about O'Clock Monday even
ing two men giving their names as w.
G.. Day and G. II. Young applied at
the Pacific house for a room, and soon
after returned TO the bar and announced
that the house was on fire up stairs.
The bartender sent someone to see If
such was the fact, and the room which
the men had recently occupied was
found 10 be ablaze. Prompt measures
were taken 10 extinguish the flames
and within few minutes they were
under control. Upon investigation 1t
was found that the glass lamp had
been upset and the oil spilled over the
bedding, which had taken fire and
would soon have had the entire house
in a blaze. The supposition is that the
lamp was upset by intent, and after
ward thrown behind the bed, where II
was found, with the idea that the ex-
element Of fire in the house would
give the men chance 10 stead some
Thing Of value, perhaps the money
behind the bar of the hotel. The re
fusal of the bartender 10 leave the bar
defeated the object Of the men and they
made their escape.

community, and enjoyed universal
popularity and esteem.

gagged to be married, received "A tele-
gram, announcing the death, Monday
evening. Being in a weak, nervous
state, produced by working over hours
and loss of sleep, he was temporarily
unbalanced, and declared repeatedly
during the evening that he would kill

/ company with several friends at his
boarding house on | street, he took ou
"A revolver and deliberately loaded it
saying that he would blow his brains
out. The revolver was promptly takeI
