TOOK DOWN THE FLAG.

American Protectorate In Hawaii

Commissioner BIOunt Has Dissolved the
American PrOtectorate In Hawaii
HONOLULU, April Commissioner
Blount's arrival was a wet blanket for
the provisional government, but his pro-
cedu:e has paralyzed the leaders as well
as Minister Stevens. By Blount's order
the American flag was hauled down and
the protectorate dissolved. This event
took place April 1 and was marked by
brief and simple ceremonies.
On his arrival here the United States
commissioner held two audiences with
the provisional government, the first of
which BIount presented letter from
President Cleveland introducing the en-
voy and defining his duties. At the
second audience, held alone with Presi-
dent Dole, Mr. Blount said that the fol-
lowing day he should lower the Ameri-
can flag.
Blount on April 8 had conference
with the provisional leaders, at which
he assured them that neither Japan nor
any other power would be permitted to
land troops to menace the government.
Since then there has been considerable
excitement but nothing has occurred to
disturb the peace. The provisional
troops are amply sufficient to guard
against any attempts of the Hawaiins
to upset the government.

Meet Their Death.
Usage CITY, Kan, April 20.-About
4:3O Tuesday afternoon one of the worst
cyclones that ever visited Kansas struck
this city. and in short space of time
buildings had beea wrecked and several
ives lost. While the citizens of this
city were attending to their daily work.
a disastrous strom was brewing and be-
fore any one had time to prepare them
selves against its fury, it was upon them
in all its terrible strength. Mothers
clasped their children in their arms and
rushed 10 places of concealment, but to
no purpose, the cyclone soon laid in
waste the houses over their heads.
The number of victims is hard to esti-
mate. It is variously estimated from
three to 40. The first report placed it at
10, but later reports cut it down to three.
About 20 persons were seriously injured.
Several carloads of coal were strewn in
all directions, as the cyclone lifted the
cars bodily from the tracks and over
turned Them As soon as the storm had
passed, those who were uninjured rushed
from their houses and attempted to help
those who were pinned under the debris.
At late hour only two bodies had been
recovered. those of Mr.. and Mrs. An
drew Waggoner, colored.

State of Trade.

NEW YORK, April l5.-R. g. Dun

Railroads have felt the effects of a
long and severe winter, and now have
belated and irregular spring to retard
movements of merchandise. Labor con-
troversies cause less disturbance, but
still some apprehension. In the great
industries there is evidence that the
volume of business is quite we'll main
tanned for the season, but not so much
evidence of its continuance
