understand such to be the custom. When
ever the President notifies me of his readi-
ness to receive me L shall be on hand.
Under the circumstances you will readily
see that it would be an act of discourtesy
to the Hawaiian Government to discuss
the political situation at the present time.
In talking over the matter OF his ap-
pOintment Minister Willis said that it was
much of surprise to him, as he had made
no application TO the executive OF the
United States for any position.
ut was a great surprise and great
gra tification to me to know that President
Cleveland had hOnored me with such an
important position, and of course had no
option but to accept it, although l left my
home and business in hurry and at some
personal Inconvenience"
In answer to the Minister'S nate Presi-
dent Dole has set to-day at II A. NJ. as the
time for the new Minister'S reception, but
as the China sails at 10 A. NJ. his remarks
cannot be forwarded by this mail.
Admiral Skerrett made an official call
on Minister Willis yesterday morning. and
the Minister visited the Philadelphia and
returned the call in the afternoon.

that the secrets of the State Department

SHOT IN THE STOMACH.
A Brakeman Killed While Trying to
Resist Train obbers.

DECATUR. ILL.,, Nov. 13.-An attempt
was made tonight to hold up the Peoria,
Decatur and Evansville passenger train
due here at 10 P. NJ. Three men mask ed
with handkerchieis got on at Lincoln coal
shaft and when the train pulled out they
started for the express section of the CON-
binati0n car. Brakeman George Trot and
some passengers tried to stop them and
three shots were fired by the robbers, one
hitting the brakeman in the stomach. He
is expected to die. The robbers left the
train at Salt Greek bridge. They got roth
ing. Sheriff Hayes of Logan is after them.
Six miles from Lincoln the men pre-
seDted revolvers at some of the passengers
in the coach and demanded money. The
conductor pulled the bell-cord and the train
so9n stopped. Then Brakeman George
Trot made his brave struggle with the
robbers, endeavoring to knock one of them
down and overpower him.
He succeeded in getting the better OF
that one. but another shot him, and the
obbers then held the other people in the
car in check with their Tevolvers until the
train was near Mount Pulaski. Then one
of them jumped off the train. which was
running about 25 miles an hour. He COM
PEELED the engineer to stop, and after the
train had stopped the others got off at
Mount Pulaski. They did not succeed in
getting any money or valuables from the
passengers.

ALTGELD ON ANARCHY.
Says There Is No Such Thing In the
State of Illinois,

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. Ex-Governor
Altgeld was asked to-day if it was true
that one OF the conditions of the pardon
Of Fielden, Neebe and Schwab was that
they should made no anarchistic speeches
in future, and he replied: I'm granting
the pardon did so because l thought the
men were not guilty of the crime for which
they had been sentenced, and placed no
conditions upon the pardons. You may
say there are no anarchists in the entire
State Of Illinois-not one. If the news
papers would stop talking. anarchy would
never be again heard of. That the labor
ing men have right to hold views on all
matters and are entitled to express them
is conceded by all citizens"

HUNTING THEM DOWN.
No Mercy Will Be Shown to
Anarchists in Europe.
Each of the Great Continental Powers
Has Agreed to Guard Its
Own Frontier.

PARIS, Nov. 13-The French Govern
ment has sent three ecial Com missioners
OF Police to the Spanish frontier with in
structions to take every precaution posi-
bic to prevent anarchists crossing the
frontier. The Spanish Government has
pledged itself to take similar action on the
other SIDE of the frontier whenever called
upon by the French Government, and it is
understood that the German, Austrian and
italian Governments have sent additional
instructions to their frontier police.
There can be no question that it is hoped
by these means to break down the inter
national feature of anarchy and thus de-
prive ''the Black Hand" of at least half its
strength and more than half its terrors.
So long as plots are laid in one country to
be executed in another the difficulty of
detection is, at least, quite as great, where
as. if the several groups are isolated there
will be some hope of the police making
war upon the terrorists by making each
one marked man and putting him under
strict surveillance.
In this way it is hoped that should a man
be sent from Paris. say, t. throw a bomb
in Barcelona he can be stopped and turned
back Ur arrested at the frontier. and the
authorities having the man in custody can
probably bring pressure to bear upon him
such as will make him disclose his ac-
completes and the details OF his mission,
1t is unquestionable, at all events, that
recent events in Spain have stirred up the
whole Continent and that there will be no
more half measures in dealing with anarchy
and the anarchists. The peril to repub-
lican France is as great as to the monarch
les surrounding it or greater for of all
forms Of order the republic is the most
offensive to anarchists. because under it
the common people are more apt to rest
contented than under any other.
II only remains now to arouse England
to make the war of determination most
thorough, and this it is hoped at once
70 do.
An italian anarchist of the name of
Antinio RiDaldi was arrested at Seryianan
to-day and is believed to be the author of
the dynamite outrage in the theater at
Barcelona.

The Duke of Montpensier Is said TO have

He is a descendant of Louis PHILIPPE,
and hence is bound by family ties to the
Count d'Eu, whose interest in the restor-
alton of the monarchy in Brazil has been
pointed out.
General Beadle, presiding to-day at
meeting of the English shareholders of the
Conde Deu Railway Company, advised the
shareholders to take n more notice of the
revolution in Brazil than of the daily revo-
lutiOns Of the eartn.
The Brazilian Government, he said, paid
the dividends on the securities of the COM
pany with the utmost regularity. The
first act of the new Government when
taking power had been TO assure them that
all their contract rights would be re-
Spected. The country, he added, was in
ternally prosperous and traffic on the rail-
way had increased.

JUMPED FOR LIFE.
Dense Smoke Cut Off All

ONE VICTIM OF THE FIRE.
And 1t Is Believed Two Others
Have Perished.
ONE VICTIM OF THE FIRE.
THEY WERE CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Men Forced by Heat to Jump From
Upper Windows to the
Pavement.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 13.-Lennos block
went up in blaze tonight The fire was
communicated to other buildings, and for
a time general conflagration was threat
ened. There was a scene of wild con-
fusion and horror. Men jumped from
windows to save their lives. and several
were injured seriously, while two lives are
supposed TO have been lost and one man is
certainly dead. This is Thomas II. Bond,
who was burned to death in the candy
store.
The fire originated In the front of
Schmatzried's store by the explosion of a
lamp. Frank l.. Montverde and John
Mignold rushed through the flames to the
open air and were painfully scorched. The
flames licked their way up the stairs,
which were the only means of exit from
the top stories.
Attention was attracted by cries from
the third story in the rear, which was
occupied by the Young Mems Christian
Association, and several forms were seen
at the windows in the sitting smoke ap-
pealing for aid. Before the fremen could
locate the imprisoned men the heat be-
came so intense that they were forced to
and were terribly hurt. Four made the
leap. They are:
Charles R. White. arm broken and in
ternal injuries.
E. E. Board. arm broken and severely
bruised.
Fred Hoke, wrists and arms hurt.
Secretary Smith. Internal injuries and
leg broken, may die.
The other men stood at the windows
until relieved by the hook and ladder
brigade. They were almost suffocated.
Two men were seen in the rooms OF the
association few minutes before the fire
broke out. and as there was no means of
escape it is thought that they perished.
The losses are: Schmatzried Stove Com
pany. building and stock. total loss $40, 600,
insured for $4,000; Lennon & Gale,
wholesale drygoods. loss on building by
fire $1,000, loss on stock by water sos. 900,

The correspondent Of The CALL called

was indispcsed after two weeks constant
travel. Yesterday morning the writer was
accorded an Interview. In response to an
inquiry for political information regarding
President Cleyeland's future policy to-
ward these islands the Minister said:

Consul Wilder Says Defeat Will Not
Be Taken Quietly.

"Al the news will come up on the Aus
uralia," remarked Charles T. Wilder, the
Consul for the Provisional Government, in
response to query regarding the situation

extensive interests in Hawaii, and the
name occupies prominent place in con-
nection with the re cent revolutionary pro-
ceediigs in the island capital. When the

side paid no attention TO it, as they could

FOUND IN A POND.
After Twelve Years the Fate of the
MCClellandS Is Known,

CENTRALIA, ILL.,. Nov. 13.-The McClel-
land pond mystery Is under investigation
in this city. The general impression Is
that the murders were committed about
twelve years ago. and the bodies buried
and staked down in the pond by relatives
of the victims. There is no doubt of the
identity of those of Alexander McClelland
and his son Oscar, who have not been seen
or heard of since 1881. 1t is developing in
the investigation that more than one per-
son was interested in the crime. A brother
of the deceased senior McClelland, now
living in Oregon, made threats against the
deceased, who owed this brother a large
sum as a security for debt. This brother
LEFT here soon after the deceased's last ap-
pearance. The excitement is high, and
thousands of people are here to hear the
testimony in the case.

There is not branch of the service, /

j. E. Redmond is hedging already as re-
CARDS his attitude toward the Government,
but even the latest edition of his ulti-
matum, II he keeps to ii, must force him
into opposition. 1t is quite certain that
Gladstone will not attempt to deal with
the eyicted tenants az this session, and it
is equally certain that a proposal to re-
lease the dynamiters would break up the
Cabinet.
These are Redmond's terms, however,
and he has pledged his reputation that il
they are rejected he will do his utmost to
wreck the Government, and as his party
will count eighteen in division and the
Government majority was only nineteen,
he may have many chances of making
good his words. Whether he will do so
remains to be seen.
1t is reported that the Tories are pre-
pairing an Irish home rule scheme, which
will be published after the return Of Cham
bsrlain to England.

at Honolulu says: The Provisional Gov

annexation will be made an issue and will

Washington last winter. The plotters
went so far as to lay their schemes before
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
