A STEAMER FROM HONOLULU.

The Alameda Arrives and Reports That
all is Quiet. with No change in the
Situation.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Nov. 23-6.30
a: m.-The steamer Alameda, from
Honolulu, has been sighted.
ALL Is QU1ET--No CHANGE.
LATER-The Alameda brings news
that all is quiet ut Honolulu. M ma
terial change in the situation.
MINISTER WILLIS WAS SILENT.
Up to the time the Alameda sailed
Minister Willis had made no intimation
to the government as to his instructions.
DIPLOMATIC, BUT DISCREET.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. 23.-The
United Press correspondents at Honolulu,
writing under date Of the 10th instant,
says:
AS yet Minister Willis has made no
intimation to this government Of any
special communication with which he
may be charged. Nor is it known that
he has any. The city is dailyalive with
strange rumors of the minister's inten.
tions. These are traced to Royalist
sources. Three days ago the ex-Queen
made brief call upon the American
minister, merely to pay her respects as
Mr.. Willis subsequently stated. Up to
this time, Mr.. Willis has not returned
her visit.
On the same day committee of the
American League rendered reception
to Minister Willis, at whichhe delivered
an address in diplomatic but agreeable
and encouraging terms. A phrase inn
plying that his action was limited by
specific Instructions was construed by
Royalist adherents as meaning that he
had positive orders to restore tho Queen
and the Royalists appeared on the streets
in more boastful and aggressive mood.
Admiral Irwin and staff were officially
received by President Dole on the 11th
instant.
Three organizations supporting the
government, the Annexation Club, the
Citizens Reserve and American League
have separately published resolutions
strongly reiterating the demand upon
the government to remove all Royalists
from public offices and replace them
with men of known loyalty.

ness intelligence of Laurel people has
shown itself in numerous cases where
Laurel citizens have been successful where
others failed.
A few years ago J. H. Marvel was me-
chanic working by the day in this neigh
borhood. He saw in the imperfect berry
crates and baskets then in use a waste OF
material and a lack of convenience and
ventilation. He used his ingenuity to i'm
prove the berry package and to-day Mar
veFs, or something similar to it, are the
only ones in use and j. H. Marvel has
amassed asmammoth fortune as a result of
his superior ingenuity.
James Blades, wealthy and prominent
citizen of Chicago, was poor boy in this
neighborhood who made his fortune by
the invention and patenting of railroad
ticket case which is now in use in every
depot of the Pennsylvania railroad and
on several other roads.

series of special meetings. Several OF the
most prominent ministers of the Maryland
Conference will assist the pastor in his
work. The great revival at Delmar NJ.
L. Church still continues and many from
here are in attendance every night return
ing to Laurel on the express.
For, years Barren Creek Springs, near
here, have been known as local picnic
resort and the waters were supposed to
have heaithful medicinal properties, but it
remained for Laurel man to conceive
the idea of utilizing the waters. Thomas
Bacon, Jr., visited the place last summer

his TASTE so he boarded there two months
aud was so much beheiited by the water
he formed stock Company. bought the
place and now has inr0peration large

waters are upon the market, meeting a
demand that is constantly growing.

witness codicil. He said there was no
sense in the codicil.

Directum trotted the four heats without
making break. 1t was remarkable
exhibition, and the defeated Joined with
the victors i'll pronouncing him the king
of the trotting turf. After the last heat
had been decided floral horseshoe was
placed around Directum's IL eek by Mr.. A.
II. Moore of the Cloverdell Stock Farm,
the owner of Director, sire of this famous
trotter.
Why better time was not made, how
Saladin came to beat Directum 50 handily
in the first heat, aud score of other ques-
tions were on everyone's tongue after the
race. The condition of the track and the
Oleak northeast wiEd, which blew across
the course, had, so the expert horsemen
said much to do with the time. On Sun
day the track was in excellent condition,
but yesterday morning the sun came out
warm and drew the frost out of the
ground which made the surface somewhat
leityy anu holding in places.
Mr.. Green, although somewhat disap-
pointed, had no excuses to offer after the
race. Snid he II was beaten by phe-
nOnienon, but, had the track been in better
condition, the spectators would have wit
messed three or more miles reeled of i'll
time at least four or five seconds faster"
Monroe Salisbury, the owner of Directum,
also was OF the opinion that his horse
would have gone faster had the track been
in perfect condition.
Saladin is dark brown stallion, foaled
in 1857 and sired by Sultan, his dam being
Ella Lewis. 2.27. His record, 2.05a, was
made on the kite track al Kirkwood, Del.
He is undoubtedly the speediest horse
owned in this vicinity, and, although de-
feated yesterday, he distinguished himself
by being the first to win u heat from Di-
rectum III tnatch race.
Directum is a black stallion. He was
foaled in 1889, and sired by Directum-
