NO OVERT ACTS.

The Governor Unable to Execute HIS
Orders.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 16, 8 q. m.--No
overt action has yet taken place. though
Governor Lewelling still asserts posi-
lively that he will drive the Republic
cans from the hall at the point of the
bayonet. The Republicans assert with
equal positiveness that they will resist
election even to the use of arms. The
sheriff still refuses to take q hand in
the trouble. 1t is believed the governor
will not dare to make an effort to drive
out the Republicans with the present
force of provisional troops, but they may
be reinforced during the day by other
provisional companies to be organized.
Colonel Hughes will probably be relieved
today, in which case all companies on
the ground, which include most of the
state militia, will retire with him.
The city is black and blue today
black with people come to "see the
fun" blue with troops. Every train
arriving the past IL hours brought
troops and Republican and Populist
volunteers, armed with all sorts of
weapons, anxious to take q hand in the
fight.
The soldiers surrounded the capitol
and guards are at every entrance to pre-
vent any one from entering without q
pass from the governor, countersigned
by the adjutant-general. The members
OF the legislature are no better off in
this respect than common folks. Mrs.
Lease managed to get in, but Mr.. Lease
spent several hours trying to follow
his wife without success.
The Populists have kindled fires in
the streets to warm themselves by. Bat
terry A of Wichita, with a Gatling gun
and plenty Of ammunition, guards the
main approach to the capitol. Battery
B of Topeka guards the arsenal.
Business is depressed. Men walk in
groups. A single pedestrian is q rare
sight. The hotel corridors swarm with
men from all parts of the state to be on
hand in case of an emergency.
The troops sympathize mostly with
the Republicans, SO in spite of the
adjutant-general's order not to allow
food to be taken into the capitol, the
soldiers conveniently fail to see we'll
filled baskets of provisions hauled up to
representative hall by means of ropes.
The Wichita battery even went go far aa
to bring its Gatling on the ground unfit
for use, one very essential part of it's
mechanism having been removed. The
captain of the battery appeared greatly
surprised when his attention was called
to the fact, and called his company up
one by one and questioned them about
it. All denied any knowledge of the
circumstance, and the piece still frowns
impotently at the supposititiously in
vading Republicans.

LONDON COMMENT.

An Insinuation That Harrison Takes
too Much for Granted.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-The Daily Chroni-
clee says OF the Hawaiian question
"Mr. Harrison takes over much fol-
granted when he declares that the lead
ing powers of the world acquiesce In the
annexation of Hawaii by the United
States"
The Daily News says: "If the senate
rejects Harrison's treaty the well-wish
ers Of the republic abroad will regard il
as having escaped serious danger. The
Americans have no advantage to gair
which would counterbalance the perils
of the republic beyond the seas"

ton. The existing laws of the
United States relative to public
lands shall not apply to such lands
in the Hawaiian islands, but congress
shall enact special laws for their man
agement and disposition, provided that
all revenue from the same, except such
part as may be used or occupied for civil,
military or naval purposes of the United
States, or may be assigned to the use of
the local government, be used solely for
the benefit, of the inhabitants of the
Hawaiian islands for educational and
other public purposes.
Article 8 continues, until congress
shall otherwise provide, the existing
government and the Hawaiian laws are
continued subject to the paramount
authority of the United States. The
president shall appoint commissioner
to reside in the islands, who shall have
power to veto any act of said govern
ment, and such act shall be void unless
approved by the president. Congress
shall within one year from the ratifica-
tion of the treaty enact the necessary
legislation to extend to the Hawaiian
islands the laws OF the United States
respecting duty upon imports, internal
revenue, commerce and navigation, but
until congress shall otherwise provide
the existing commercial relations of the
Hawaiian islands, both with the United
States and foreign countries, shall con-
tinue, as regards commerce with the
rest OF the United States and foreign
countries. 1t is not to be so construed
as giving the islands power to enter into
any new stipulation or agreement or
have diplomatic intercourse with any
foreign government. The consular rep
,resentatives of foreign governments now
in Hawaii should be permitted to con-
tinue in the exercise of their functions
until they receive exequaturs from the
| government of the United States.
Article 4 prohibits further immigra
tion of Chinese laborers into the Ha.
waiian islands, until congress shall 9th
erwise provide. Furthermore, Chinese
persons of the classes now or hereafter
excluded by law from entering the
United States, will not be permitted to
come from the Hawaiian islands to the
| United States.
In article the United States assumes
the existing public debt of the Hawaiian
islands, with q proviso that the liabili
ties shall in no case exceed So, ,250 600.
Article agrees to pay the late Queer
Liliuokalani an annual pension OF $40,
600 during life, and to pay to Princess
Kaiuolani the lump sum of $l50,000

surprise. Colonel Hughes learned OF
the plan and informed the Republicans
that they had nothing to fear from him.
little later he was summoned 70 tne

He positively refused, declaring he WAS
there as peace officer; that the Repub-
lican house was the only legal one and
he would not interfere with it. The
governor threatened to relieve him. be
retorted that the regiment would dis
band at the same time.
This piece of insu subordination, to-
gether with the fact that nearly all the
commanders of the state troops are
Republican, about decided the governor
to place no more reliance on the militia.
Among the arrivals today we're about
400 armed Republicans, and 100 armed
Populists.
. There was no sleep for the Imprisoned
Republicans in representative hall.
With the heat cut off they had to organ
ize pedestrian matches and other exer-
cises to keep up the circulation of the
blood. At 4 O'Clock half dozen gaso-
line stoves were sent up to them by
ropes, and the members gathered around
them to get what little warmth they
furnished.
Sergeant. .at-Arms Clevinger of the
Republican house has arrived here with
L. G.. Gum, Democrat, under arrest for
contempt for refusing to appear before
the house elections committee. He
seeks to test the legality of the Republi-
can organization. He appealed to the
supreme court for writ of habeas cor
pus, and was released on bail till Friday.
He claims that the Republican house is
not legal body. and on the courts de-
csion the status of that house will de-
pend. The Republicans hope to stand
off the Populists until decision ID
reached.

At IL O'Clock the governor sent mes-
