SAN Francisco, Oct. N.-Pilot john
son. who was in charge of the steamer
City of New York when she went ashore
yesterday, has disappeared and cannot
be found. He left the stranded vessel
on the fret boat that came to her as
sistance, and is thought to bs hiding
somewhere in San Francisco. He has
been suspended from duty by the pilot
commissioners. 1t is now thought the
New York cannot be hauled off the
rocks, and that she is certain to be q
total loss.
She is now lying easily in smooth
water and the hope was entertained this
morning that she might be pulled off If
the weather continued favorable. The
sharp spur of rock upon which she ran
was driven entirely through the vessels
bottom in such manner that it is
thought unadvisable to attempt to get
her off until entirely lightened of all her
cargo. This work is being pushed with
all possible speed. She has listed con-

Measures Adopted Which, 1t Is Thought,
VIII Give 1,OGo, 900 Persons Relief.
The English government has at last
determined to deal with the more than
ever vital question of the unemployed,
and their experiments will be watched
with interest by all the world. Sir John
Gorst has pronounced himself in favor
of plan for dealing with the question
in the rural districts which has received
the sympathetic consideration of the
government. The proposal is to en-
power the local authorities to buy or
lease waste or unoccupied land, and to
turn the surplus labor upon it.
BY this means it is believed that tens
of thousands of acres now useless could
be made fertile by spade labor and at
the same time an effective check be put
upon the persistent migration of unem-
ployed agricultural laborers into the
towns, an evil which is the despair of
many economists. 1t is asserted that
this is almost the only way profitably to
employ the idle without bringing them
into subsidized competition with actual
workers.
Meanwhile that energetic and remark
ably practical socialist member of par
lament, John Burns, after many inter
views and much correspondence with
Mr.. Fowler, president of the local gov
ernment board has persuaded that gen.
tleman to issue a circular to the local
authorities giving them permission to
institute relief works for unemployed
ablebodied men, and urging them to take
full advantage of the novel power thus
conferred. There is nothing to prevent
relief works from taking the form of the
reclamation of waste land, and some
authorities will probably utilize the
mems labor in that manner.
John Burns tells me there are $4,000
statutory local authorities, so that if
each finds employment for only 10 men
a total of 100000 will receive work this
winter. But it is more likely that work
will be found for 250,O00 of the great
army of the unemployed, and that no
fewer than 1,G00, 600 persons will benefit
therefrom. York Suns London

Everything Quiet In tho Isiands-Presi-

Honolulu, Oct. 19-(Per steamer via
San Francisco, Oct. 27.)-The principal
events here recently have been the ar
rival of United States Consul-General
Ellis Mills and the return of President
Dole from trip for the benefit of his
health and his resumption of the control
of public affairs. Mr.. Mills has nothing
to say in regard to the probable action
of the United States government with
reference TO Hawaiian affairs.
The latest advices received by the pro-
visionsl government are to the effect
that President Cleveland is expected to
send message on the Hawaiian ques.
tion to congress soon.
A new cabinet position is expected to
be created soon, which will result in
separating the offices of president and
minister of foreign affairs.
The financial condition of the Ha-
waiian government is reported excellent.
The secret service department of the
government states it has discovered the
fact that ex.Queen Liliuokalani is hav-
ing uniforms made for certain retainers
who are to wear them on the occasion OF
her restoration, which event, it is said,
she confidently anticipates.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Cleveland Expected to Send q Message
to Congress Soon.

Cleveland Expected to Send Message
to Congress Soon.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Lsading men,
bers of the committee on foreign affairs
in the house, and those of the majority
especially, think Cleveland will send to
congress Immediately aafter the silver
bill is out of the way, message and cor
respondence on the Hawaiian matter.
1t seems to be the impression that the
message is already prepared and only
awaits the disposition of the repeal bill
when the president will make his recon-
mendations and give congress something
to do.
One of the Democratic members of the
committee said there were three solu-
tions of the trouble in Hawaii. One
was the restoration of the old order OF
things by placing ths queen upon the
throne; another was annexation, and
the third, q protectorate. That one OF
these plans will be adopted was very
probable, but which would be favored
by the administration or by congress he
could not say.
Hit OF Illinois. formerly chairman of
the committee on foreign affairs. says
the difficulty of dealing with the Hawai-
ian problem is one which could not be
overestimated. Annexation with the
peculiar conditions existing in the is
lands is something that might well puzzle
the wisest statesmen. With the Chinese
trouble we have in this country
now, and the additional questions
which the annexation Of the islands
would raise. not only in regard to the
Chinese, but the Japanese and the ma
tives of the islands, the question is one
which would naturally cause some de-
liberation before the islands were an
nexed territory and intended for state
hood. 1t would be the height of abb
surdity to try and set up the old queen
and restore her to power. To establish
protectorate would mean to abandon
the republican form of government for
the islands. A protectorate would not
mean that this government was to offer
its protection alone, but that it intended
as we'll to govern the islands as a poses
sion. If protectoartew were established,
this government would have to have tho
affairs of the islands conducted in man
ner which would be satisfactory to us,
and not be governed by what might be
the popular will of the people who now
inhabit the islands.
Hit says it is necessary to have the
islands. They are worth more to the
United States than feet Of ten of the
best vessels afoat. We build ships for
protection in case of war, and for the
same reason we ought acquire islands,
as they are the Malta OF the Pacific
ocean and absolutely necessary to the
United States.
Hit. while presenting the difficulties
in the way Of securing the islands, is
not without scheme which he thinks
would prove satisfactory. He says the
islands could be acquired as a military
and naval station, and governed as such
bv the United States. The reason the
United States wants the islands is the
same that induces this country to build
war vessels and establish military posts
They are wanted for war purposes, and
if acquired as such, could be governed
without disturbing the exiating condi-
tions or submitting the islands to the
rule Of the most populous. yet ignorant,
clasees OF the islands.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Several Lively Tilts Over Personal and
Political Matters.

Several Lively Tilts over Personal and
Political Matters.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The proceed
ings in the house this morning were en-
livened by personal explanation by
Representative Hudson of Kansas. who
objected strenuously to the statements
by the special correspondent of a certain
Washington paper as to Hudson's con-
nection with Kansas politics, etc, and
had read letters denying the statements
made by the special man.
Weadcock of Michigan presented q
memorial from ex-Representative YOU
mans, candidate for congress against the
lifting member, W. s. Linton, asserting
that Linton's election was illegal and in
valid. Wesdcock said the memorial
asked for q committee to investigate the
whole question. 1t involved, Weadcock
continued, "the existence and animus
of an un-American, illegal, traitorous
organization, who, in Michigan, had
gone to the extent of procuring arms.
The organization exists in several states.
1t is particularly offensive in Michigan.
There it's Vaccinations have caused @
IclRu Vi toETuI.
Being challenged to name it, Weadock
said it was known as the American Pro-
tective association.
Hopkins of Illinois protested against
the arraignment of the society as
traitorous, and made the point of order
that the matter was not privileged.
The speaker overruled the point, but in
Linton's absence the matter was allowed
to 60 over till tomorrow.
Another disturbance followed over a
resolution reported back from the bank
ing and currency committee by Chair
man Springer, calling for information as
to state banks. Some of the friends of
the repeal of the state bank tax thought
they saw in the resolution an attempt
to throw an obstacle in the way of the
measure. Hall OF Wisconsin said the
information which would be obtained
by the resolution had been recompiled
under the Republican administration of
the treasury department. 1t would re-
quire several years to obtain the in
formation called for if Carlisle secured
it fresh-handed. After lengthy strug-
gle rising vote on the adoption of the
resolution resulted: Ayes, rs; nays,
"A. Allen made the point no quorum,
and the house, after vain endeavor to
secure one, adjourned until Monday.

ToULoN, Oct. 27.- President Carnot
arrived here early this morning to par
ticipate in the launching of the great
harbette warship Jauregueberry. which
will be the most formidable in the
French navy, and TO return the visit OF
the Russian neval officers. The presi-
dent was greeted by large crowds.
Carnot and party we're on board
the French flagship Formidable, where
they were received by Admiral Boissoudry
and staff. Shortly afterward Admiral
Avellsn and the commanders of the
Russian war vessels went on board the
French flagship to witness the review OF
the vessels of the squadron. Later
President Csrnot boarded the Russian
hagship Emperor Nicholas l. He was
welcomed by the Russian ambassador,
Baron de Mohrenheim.
The president was treated with the
same courtesy as the czar of Russia
himself would receive. The point most
commented upon in connection with the
review is the fact that as President
Csrnot passed down the line formed by
the Russian warships royal salute
was fred, which honor is especially re-
served for the czar.
The launching of the bsttleship Jaure"
gueberry today was witnessed by an inn
mense throng OF people. Among those
present were President Carnot, Admiral
Avellan and Baron Won Mohronheim,
Russian ambassador. All three were
greeted with vociferous cheering.

Kansas City Star: John Lawrence
| Sullivan, for over a decade the idol o.
! the fistic world, is playing q weeks en-
gagement at the Gilliss opera house. A
reporter for the Star who saw him in
his dressing room last evening found the
"big fellow" in a very sober mood. He
said he had quit drinking over week
ago, and did not expect to drink again
for a year. His appearance seemed to
bear out this statement, and when dur
ing bis rest from stage work he drank
heavily OF iced sarsaparilla, it looked as
if John is really in earnest about quit
ting the exhilarating "fzzy fz" and the
Bass ale that on his previous visits here
were his closest companions. OF course
under this condition of affairs John L..
was not nearly so picturesque in his
remarks as ne would have been if in his
cups, but he talked freely on his pros
poets and matters pugilistic.
