lv failing TO cure with local treatment,
pronounced It incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional dis

From Hawaii.

Contrary to all expectations, the
steamer China, which arrived at San
Francisco yesterday from Honolulu,
brought not even a hint of how United
States Minister Willis was to restore in
the name of our government the de-
posed Queen Liliuokalani to her
throne.
Late Sunday night, the day after
Minister Willis arrived, there is said to
have been gathering of the Queens
supporters at the house Mr.. Wilder
mann. The ex-Queen had passed the
word around that she was to be re-
stored to the throne the day after the
departure OF the China. 1t was report
ed that the gathering at Mr.. Wilder
mann's house was of the nature of a
Jubilee. 1t is reported also that on Octo-
Der p the Queen ordered new uniforms
for the household guards. Some of the
guards, when trying them on, declared
thew would wear them at the Queens
restoration early in November. Fol-
lowing close on this came the Queens
payment of her creditors which she
managed through a $25, 200 mortgage
loan on some of her property. With
this she settled the claims of many local
creditors.
1t is believed in Washington that
Commissioner Blount was influenced
in making his report on the revolu-
ton in Hawaii by the knowledge that
several months before that event took
place, certain men, who afterwards
participated in the uprising, visited
Washington and had talk with Presi-
dent Harrison. 1t is believed at the
State Department that no objection
will be made by the provisional gov
ernment of Hawaii to surrenderine the
affairs of the country to Queen Liliuo-
kalani. United States naval officers
believe that after the Queen is restored
to the throne OF Hawaii, it will be nee
essary to maintain battalion of Unit
ed States marines OH shore at all times
to prevent the deposed provisional
government from again overturning the
monarchy. 1t is pointed out that the
members of the provisional govern
ment of Hawaii are the chief promo
ters of all enterprises in the island and
have practical control of the financial
interest of Hawaii therefore they will
use their power against advancing the
commercial interests of the United
States in Hawaii.
AS an outlying post for strategical
purposes in war Hawaii is considered
of immense value to the United States.
The United States has a coaling sta
ton on Pearl river, Hawaii, to which
it is said the Queen is opposed.

Fatal Fire in Memphis.

Fire broke out last night about l:l5
o'clock in Schmalzried block, on Main
street, between Monroe and Union
streets, and before the flames were
checked, at p. m, several lives were
lost and nearly q million dollars worth
of property was destroyed. The exact
number of lives lost is not known, but
careful estimate places it at four,
while four or five were injured, some
fatally, in jumping from the burning
building.
The fire started from the explosion of
large coal-oil lamp near the stairway
of that part of the building occupied by
the Young Mems Christian Association,
and it was in this place that the ter
rible loss of life occurred, and in three
minutes the entire front Of the building
was in flames and all means of exit cut
off.
There were about fifteen people in
the library when the alarm was given.
They made wild rush for the main
street exit, only to be driven back by
the flames. They rushed to the win
dows at the rear of the building, but the
flames had spread so rapidly through
the building that the facings of three of
the windows were afire when they
reached the rear of the building.
They stood huddled together at the
window for q moment or two when the
crowd below yelled Leap !" Jump for
your lives !"
One man took the advice, jumped
and was caught on telegraph wire,
but was rescued. He was followed q
moment later by comrade, who aim.
ed for the same wire, but missed it and
fell to the pavement below. Two other
men made the same attempt, but they,
too, missed the wire and went down on
top of their oomrade,
At this juncture the fremen arrived
with ladders, which were quickly run
up to the windows. Three men were
rescued, but before the others could be
saved the flames burned the ladder,
and the remainder persisted in the
burning building.

Volcano,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. lit is learn
ed that the Abot Volcano, of Mount
macon, in the extreme southwestern
part of Luzon, Philippine Islands, was
in violent state of eruption from Oc-
tober 5th to the 18th. On the evening
of the 9Th lava and ashes came forth
without intermission from the left out
let of the mountains. On the follow
ing day the streams Of lava and ashes
increased in volume and alarming sub
terranean noises were heard. The
hamlet of Bunquerohan was in danger
of being overwhelmed by the stream
flowing down the mountain. Inhati-
tants both there and all over the neigh
borhood hurried away with whatever
property they could secure. The vol
oano continued to belch forth its fiery
stream until the 18th when the erup-
ton ceased. No casualties are re-
ported.

phans cared for ut Salem ard freedom
from debt, although twenty-six acre:
of land had been acquired, an orphan
age building and superintendent home
had been erected. A workhouse and
an infrmary was needed, and must be

SOME OF the northern press that were
so DESTROYS that the late extra session
of Congress should adjourn immediate
IL after the passage of the silver repeal
bill, are now advocating the adjourn
ment of the coming regular session as
early as the end of next May. If, as
wiser newspapers advised, the extra
session had been continued and merged
into the regular one, an early adjourn
ment of the latter could probably have
been effected. But with the as yet
even unreported tariff bill and the I'M
passed elections bill before it, and the
lesson the southern Senators-the
friends of the bills referred to, it is not
forgotten-have taught their republican
colleagues in the art of tilibusterlng,
such thing as an early adjournment OF
the next session is not within the range
of probability.
