THU OUTLOOK IN HAWAII.
Preliminary Examination of the
Conspirators.
SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.
An Underground Passage to the Palace
Discovered.
The Government Has Complete List OF
All Those Who Were Engaged in
the Conspiracy, Which Causes
RoyaIists TO Be Uneasy.

HONOLULU, June 29.-In the preljmi-
nary examination OF Crick, Walker and
Sinclair, arrested for conspiracy to restore
the monarchy, members of the army aud
of the provisional government testified
that Walker, in the presence of Sinclair,
endeayored to get them to play traitor to
the provisional government and advise
their soldiers to lay down their arms
when the royalists were ready to make
strike against the existing government.
Walker said he could easily overthrow
the provisional government as he had a
thousand armed men and good backing
in the person of Claus Spreckles and
James Campbell. Walker declared that
he had an underground passage to the
palace, and battery was connected with
the government building by which he
could blow it up. He said that Spreckels
gave To the royalists a million dollars and
Campbell half million. The assault
was to be made on the government # the
decision of the United States was against
the royalists.
The fact that list of conspirators is in
the hands of the government caused IN
easiness among certain royalists. The
government says it has still stronger
evidence to produce. 1t is not believed
that SpreckeIs has had anything to do
with the conspiracy, and that Walker
used his name without authority.
A movement is on foot among the
royalists to have native lawyers go among
the natives and advise them that the pro-
visional government has no power to
levy taxes and advising them not to pay
thus crippling the government.
The sheriff attempted to move band OF
lepers from Kalalau Valley, Kanui, they
resisted and killed him. The govern
ment will now remove them at any cost.

Four hundred mining men, bankers and
merchants from all over the state, had
conference here today to take action on
the silver situation. Martin Maginnis
in calling the meeting to order, said the
conference was not expected to discuss
silver, as all were of the same mind on
that subject, but only to discuss ways to
prevent the contemplated assault on the
white metal.
a permanent organization was effected
and Marcus Daily was elected president.
An executive committee was chosen with
Elk Governor S. I. Hauser at the head.
This committee has power to appoint
members to the bi-metallic convention at
Chicago, and to go to Washington when
Congress meets if found necess airy.
Tonight public meeting was held at
which resolutions were adopted. The
resolutions were quite lengthy. They
declare that having a full knowledge OF
the premises, s'we declare it to
be our deliberate opinion that in view
of the unrequited labors OF the projectors,
the work expended upon the development
of Improbable mines, the losses on I'M

WASHINGTON, July 6.-General A. j..
Warner, president of the American

nouncement that there is a posi-

as chairman OF the committee on coinage,

combination between the free silver adj
vocates and populists to place candidate

they have the assurance of Crisp that
Bland will be retained at the head of the

generally credited, for though it is openly
said by some that Bland will not again be

facts that would warrant such an asser-
ton as Speaker Crisp has never even init

Among the more conservative the i'm

They Discuss the Financial Outlook and
Propose a Remedy.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The business men
of the metropolis met today and consid-
cred the financial and commercial situa-
ton by which they are surrounded. The
occasion was a gathering of the chamber
of commerce in response to call issued
by the leading members, who therein de-
clared the present disturbed condition OF
the finances of the country calls for a
public expression of opinion by business
men as to the remedies TO be applied for
the restoration OF confidence. Vice
President Orr presided.
John Clafiin arose and said they did not
need to be told that the strain business
men were suffering from was a severe one.
He didn't believe they were on the verge
OF commercial panic, but they were
passing through one. There have
! been many causes, he said, which
contributed to the present trouble.
Most of them would right themselves in
| the natural course of business, but there
was one chief cause which was not in
cluded in the category, and that was the
silver purchasing clause of the Sherman
law. Applause. 1t caused distrusl
abroad and weakened us while it strength
ened Europe. He did not see how any
sensible man could oppose the repeal OF
the law. Any laws that might take its
place should only be enacted after wise
and lengthy elaboration.
| Mr.. Clahin concluded by Offering for
adoption resolutions which recited that
the country often suffered from hasty
and i'll advised legislation and is now
suffering from the effects of the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
In consequence of the alarm of money
| being withdrawn from circulation busi-
ness is greatly depressed, mills and man
ufactories are preparing to close, and
| thousands of laboring men are about tc
be thrown out of employment; that bust
ness enterprises Will not be resumed Oh
labor steadily employed till money be
obtained at moderate rates, and ordinary
Interest rates could not expected till con-
fidence in the stability ofall the money Of
the country is thoroughly re-es Established
that the repeal of the silver purchasing
clause of the Sherman act was essentia
to prompt restoration of national pros
perity and urging a speedy and uncondi.
tional repeal of that clause. Further
that, in the judgment of the chamber, {
Representative commission should be ap.
pointed by Congress at the special SEES
sion to diligently study the coinage ant
currency laws of the United States anC
other countries and report at the regular
session of Congress, to the end that
comprehensive plan for safe and elastic
currency may be carefully matured in tn,

AUSTRALIA DIsCOU RACED.
a G2eral stagnation of Business Is
Reported

AAepOrteu-
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-News brought
by the Mariposa today from Australia is
OF a discouraging tenor. The closed
banks are trying to resume, business is
at standstill, strikes are imminent and
tens OF thousands OF people are out OF
work. A number OF coal mines have
shut down, wages of sailors have been
reduced and omnibus drivers are out on O.
strike because their wages were reduced.
The unemployed swarm the docks
seeking chance to stow away
on vessels bound for thelUnited States,
and the Oceanic Steamship cOmpany'S
sheds at the circular quay had to be
turned into a place Tor the destitute TO
sleep in. Nearly all those who came on
the Mariposa were people who were once
we'll to do, but who had lost nearly all in
the general crash. Many OF them hope
to make a new start in California.
The governments of Victoria, of New
South Wales and Queensland are doing
all in their power to relieve the situation,
with some degree of success. One OF the
measures adopted by the government OF
New South Wales was the recon-
mendation of the state bank COM
mission appointed to take testi-
mony who made the following report:
uaL dileE CAREFUL QGl4DeIdblOn bDcy 1Ib
of opinion that the establishment of
government bank of issue is not only
practicable but necessary, and suggest
that its functions should,comprise first,
| the sole right of issue of note currency
upon a gold and fduciary basis in addi-
ton to government stock.
| Second-That ten shilling note should
be issued in addition to denominations
of the usual note currency.
| Third-pha business of all the GOVERN
ment departments in connection with the
receipt and expenditure of revenue; that
the management of such banks should be
entrusted to a board of commits
sioners to be appointed by parlia-
ment and removable only by vote of the
/ legislature; this board should have
au thority to appoint officers and servants
and superintend and control all opera
lions of the bank and its employees.
The government adopted the sugges-
tons and when the Mariposa sailed the
formation of the bank was under way by
the government. The government stood
by the bank in New South Wales and
paid S319, 900 in gold into the treasury.
Proceedings were also taken to restore 3
large quantity of gold inclosed in the
Australian joint stock bank to circula-
ton. The shareholders of the bank of
Victoria held meeting while the Mari
posa was at Sidney and decided to wind
up the bank affairs. The Mercantile
bank of Melbourne was reported in & bad
way and depoSitors cannot get cent OF
their money. The Australian Joint stock
bank is TO be reconstructed and nearly all
the Queensland banks are getting on
their feet again.

WILD RUMORs.

Stories Current That the Homestead
Mills Were to Be Burned
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 6.-Wild ru-
mors went round last night that as today
is the anniversary OF the Carnegie strik-
ers battle with Pinkertons it was
given out would be commemorated by an
attempt to burn the mills and other like
incendiary acts would be committed; that
the militia was under arms, etc. In con-
sequence the streets were thronged all
night, very many not going to bed at all.
1t appears the fears were entirely ground
less. however, as the mills are in full
operation today and there is nothing I'M
usual in appearances. There was a pic
mic in a grove and few speeches this
evening, flowers strewn on the graves of
those killed in the encounter were the
only concentrations of the event.
