FOR ANNEXATION.
REPRESENTATIVES, OF HAWAIPS REV. oLUTIoNISTS HERE.

She Thought to Adopt Arbitrary Meas
 The Revolution a Peaceful One-She
 Will Present Protest at Washington.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3O-An Hawaiian steamer arrived with the news of a revolu- tion at Honolulu and having on board commission, headed by l.. A. Thurston, with petition to the United States gov ernment to annex the Hawaiian islands to the United States. Queen Liliuokalani has been deposed because of her attempt to promulgate a new constitution depriving foreigners of rights of citizenship. Seventy five per cent of the business in the islands is owned by American residents, and hence the demand for annexation.
 England Refuses Recognition.
 The new government called on volun- teers, who assembled, armed, to the num- Der of 500. The old government surrendered without striking blow, although it had about 400 men under arms and battery of Gatling guns The provisional government notified the representatives of foreign gov ernments of the change and asked recog- milton. It was at once granted by all pow CTS except England.
 The United States ship Boston landed about 300 men. who have taken up quarters on the island and will remain there until recalled by the government.
 The Reason For the Overthrow.
 In 1887 almost absolute power was given the king of Hawaii. He could appoint and dismiss his ministers at will, and no re- tric r,lo of course could not last, and the people took this power away from King Kalakaua and adopted a new constitution, which the sovereign was obliged to sign The native element has always chafed under the limi- tation which was placed on their ruler.
 Yielding to these mutterings of discon- tent the queen attempted to put the old order of things in force. There are too many Yankees and Englishmen in the kingdom, however, to submit to this, and as consequence she finds herself dethroned and her country practically republic.
 What Hawaii Is.
 The kingdom of Hawaii consists of 15 is- lands in the north Pacific, only eight of which are inhabited. They are about g. 100 miles from San Francisco. The population is about 5000, and the total area is GAO square miles.
 Of the population in 1890, 34, ,436 were na- tives, l5,301 Chinese, 12, 360 Japanese, 8,602 Portuguese, 1928 Amepicans and 1, ,334 Brit ish Nine-tenths of the trade of the islands is with the United States. The exports consist mainly of sugar, rice, bananas and hides
 Honolulu, the capital, on the island of Oahu, is lighted by electricity, and nearly every leading family in the town has its telephone. In 1890 295 vessels visited the islands. The naval and military forces of the islands consist of the household guards, fixed at 65 men. There are no volunteer military organizations.

A Family of Dwarfs.

The appearance of dwarf on the streets recently attracted considerable attention. He was from Anniston. and was the smallest man seen in Rome since the days of Tom Thumb. His name is w. F. Darnell, and his Lillipu- tian appearance is something remarka- ble. He is sixty-four years old, and is feet and 4 inches high and weighs ninety-eight pounds. He has the face and every appearance of an old man, but when he is seen walking the ob- server is constantly reminded of the small boy.
 MT. Darnen came to Rome in search of assistance for his son, who is afflicted with spinal trouble. His son is twenty one years of age, and is thirty-seven inches high and weighs forty-four pounds. On election day MT. Darnell carried his son to the polls in his arms and both voted. There is another son who is twenty-four years of age, and is forty-seven inches high and weighs ninety-eight pounds, the same as his father. Rome (Ns Y.) Tribune.

"Thank God, I am not ashamed to show theml There is the very original package And with some sense of humiliation, with a modification I do not attempt to conceal, with sense of outrage which 1 think any man in my position would feel, invite the confidence of 40, ,0O0,0 900 of my countrymen to them while read these letters from my 1esk."
 The demonstration closed with dra- matic scene. Joseph Caldwell, one of the originators of the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad, who had full knowledge of the whole transaction, was travelling in Europe and both sides were seeking to com municate with him.
 After finishing the reading of the letters MT. Blaine turned to the chairman of the committee and demanded to know whether he had received any dispatch from MT. Caldwell. Receiving an evasive answer, Mir. Blaine asserted, as Xith his own knowl- edge, that the chairman had received such & dispatch, completely and absolutely ex- oneratlng me from this charge, and you have suppressed 1t.
 In the Senate and the Cabinet.
 In 1875 MT. Blaine was appointed to the senate to fill the vacancy caused by the res ignatiop of Senator Morrill,, and the next winter was elected by the legislature to the succeeding term. His career in the senate was both brilliant and distinguished, as 1t had been in the house.
 He was called from the senate to enter President Garfield's cabinet as secretary of state. It was while passing through the railroad depot leaning on Mir. Blaine's arm and pleasantly chatting with him about his coming holiday that Garfield received the assassin's s fatal bullet.
 G1lI Id Blaine's retirement from the cabinet in December, 1882. From that date until he entered MT Harrison's cabinet as secretary of state he was in private life, except dur ing his campaign for the presidency in 1884.
 Recent Patriotic Services.
 During his retirement he wrote his "Twenty Years in Congress" work of great historical value. It was in accord ance with his original suggestion and due to his earnest efforts that provision was made in the Mckinley bill for the reciproc- ity treaties which formed such 8 promi- nent feature of national policy. The Sa- moan difficulties, the complications arising out of the lynching of Italians at New, Or leans and the killing of American seamen at Valparaiso were also disposed of while MT. Blaine was at the head of the state de- partment.
 The events preceding and attending the recent Minneapolis convention are too re- cent almost to need recounting. MT. Blaine was induced to permit his name to be used as candidate and resigned his place in the cabinet. Whether in public position or in private life he always remained a central figure in national affairs.
 For nearly thirty years MT. Blaine has been a resident of Washington. While he never gave up his home and home life in Maine, yet he also had 8 home in Wash ington. It was only few years after go- ing to Washington as a member of con gress that he bought the residence S21 Eff teenth street, where he lived so many years

A Girls High School in Iceland.

A year ago the first high school for girls was opened in Reikiavik, Iceland, details of which are just now becoming known, so slow is communication with this isolated country. The school was started with fifteen girls, as many more being refused from want of funds. The curriculum is peculiar, embracing tai. loring, slojd (whatever that may be), Icelandic language and literature, Eng lish, Danish, arithmetic, history, geog- raphy, singing and writing. Cooking is also taught. The tailoring department is most important, but as there are nc tailors in Iceland, except few in Reiki- avik, women have to make the mems clothes as we'll as their own. The high school is perforce boarding school, as the pupils come from distances taking from three to fourteen days travel.- New York Times.

The boy collided with the champion and was knocked 20 feet in one direction, while Donoghue fell backward, wrenching one knee and cutting his lip.

The Income Tax of 1864.

The heaviest income tax ever levied by civilized government was that imposed upon the people of the United States in 1864, when, perhaps for the first time in human history, patriotism was so strong a passion that men really paid tax which they might have evaded. A. T. Stewards income tax in one year was $3l2, 900, bling 15 per cent. of his income. One millionaire of this city who, alarmed at the long continuance of the war, SO disposed of his wealth abroad that for one fiscal year it yielded no income, gave true account of his affairs to the col lector, and in accordance with the latter's advice paid in full tax estimated on his income of the year before.-New York Sum
