POTTSvILLE, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE Pcnusyl-
vania railroad is not going to let the Jer-
sey Central enjoy n monopoly of handling
freight and passenger traffic that is bcing
diverted from the Lehigh in consequence
of the strike, and it Is now circulating
posters with the inscription, ship your
goods via Pennsylvania lines" The Le-
high Valleys business has fallen of fear
fully. The Lehigh coal operators are now
having trouble in placing even the small
shipments they are able to make, as many
dealers refuse to handle Lehigh coal for
fear of losing Gust omers among the working
classes in their respective localities, and
the colliery people say orders are scarce.

upon him. Among the articles seized was
a trunk of explosives.

An Associated Press representative has
received from a reliable source an intima-
ton of the nature of the policy intended to
be pursued in Hawaii. The extent of the
active influence intended to be employed
in behalf of reseating Liliuoka lani on the
throne has probably been exaggerated.
The purpose Of the administration is be-
lieved to be rather to act as an arbitrator
between two parties in dispute and en-
deavor TO prevail on them to agree between
themselves.
This was contingent upon the confident
belief, based on the explicit assertion con-
tanned in the last letter of Mr.. Blount, that
the provisional government would fall to
pieces when notified that annexation was
impracticable, leaving an open dispute be-
tween the ex-queen and the provisional
has not been published, Mr.. Blount, under
date of Honolulu, July 81, said:
The action of the United States is
awaited by all as a matter Of necessity.
This condition, it can be assumed, will re-
main until the proposition to annex is ac-
cepted or rejected. In the latter contin-
gency no sudden movement is likely to oc-
cur. The present government can only
rest on the use of military force. 1t is
possessed of most of the arms in the is
lands, with a small white population to
draw from to strengthen it. Ultimately it
will fall without fail. 1t may preserve its
existence for year or two, but not
longer"
Enough is known of Minister Willis i'm
pressions, gained since his arrival in Homo
lulu, to make IL certain that he does not
agree with Mr.. Blount in this at least
Whether this impression caused his deter
mination to await further instructions
from Washington is a matter of conjec-
tUre

HIGHLAND LIGHT. Mass. Dec. 1.-The
British ship Jason, Captain Mcmillan, Cal
cutta for Boston, is ashore of Eastman So
far but one of her crew has been saved,
and he WAS washed from the rigging and
brought ashore by the tremendous seas
The usual efforts practiced in cases of
drowning persons were resorted to, and in
half an hour signs OF life were apparent.
Stimulants were administered, and in an
other half hour Samuel Evans was able to
talk.
According to his story, as soon as the Of
fieers saw that all hope was gone the crew
were ordered to the rigging, The ship
struck in the changing sands off Eastman,
and the seas began rolling all over her.
Evans was eliuging 70 the lee rail when
she struck, hut before he could reach
place Of safety In the rigging he was swept
away
The life savers, after eral unsuccessful
attempts, succeeded in seooting lifeline
over the doomed ship, bat the sailors, who
are believed to he in tie rigging, did not
seem to be able to secure it, About % men
may be there, and II the ship holds out

WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-The state depart
ment was evidently already informed of
the news received from Honolulu by way
of Port Townsend so far as it conveyed the
intention of Minister Willis to take no
further steps toward carrying out his in
structions until he should hear further
from the department, but so far as it con
veyed the public utterances in Honolulu of
the minister's intention il was news to the
department, to the president and to the
cabinet. There We're indications to show
that it was not agreeable news, and the I'M
preston was conveyed that the administra-
tion is rather disappointed at the manner
in which Minister Willis has thus far con
Quoted his mission
II is evident that the state department
received by the last steamer-the Alameda
the news that Minister Willis had de-
termined to defer the carrying out of his
instructions until he had heard further
from his government. 1t is fair presump-
ton that the revenue cutter Corwin carries
to him the further instructions for which
he asks The paragraph in the presidents
message referring to Hawaii was written
after the additional instructions to Minis
ter Willis had been dispatched.
The paragraph may be taken to reflect
the spirit of the instructions. By referring
to this it will be clearly seen that whatever
doubts or apprehensions Minister Willis
may have expressed of the accuracy or
good foundation of the Blount report,
President Cleveland has not lost any of his
absolute faith in the accuracy of the Blount
investigation and the justice of his conclu-
sions. 1t Is highly probable, therefore. that
the new instructions are a repetition of the
