WHAT HAS WILLIS DONE !?
THE HAWAIIAN MATTER THE SUBJECT
OF MUCH SPECULATION.
It is Pretty Well Settled That Cleveland
Seeks the Restoration Of the Queen,
but May Not Use Force to
Accomplish 1t.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-There is an
entire dearth of any real news about
Hawaiian matters today. Speculation
as to what has been occurring there in
the week past is by no means abated.
The fear of the friends of the present
government is that Minister Willis
will push President Dole to an imme-
diate decision and demand prompt
surrender of all his authority on the
ground that the provisional govern.
ment itself put limit upon the du-
ration of it's own authority, and that
limit expires when Minister Willis an
nounces to him there is no possible
chance of annexation to the United
States.
1t Is q fact that for several months
the provisional government has recog-
nized that there was no hope of secur-
ing annexation to the United States
aud to have fully the obligation upon
them under those circumstances of
providing permanent form of govern
Inent for the islands. A form of pro-
posed government has been discussed
and it has been proposed to call it
commonwealth. 1t is expected Presi-
d mt Dole will advance these argu
ments against the contention of Minis
ter Will is. His government, the govern
ment to which Willis is accredited, has
expired by its own limitation. Should
Willis decline to recognize the validity
of this argument and Dole determined
to follow his contention so far as it lay
in his power the next step expected is
to force and he would regard the land
ing of troops from the men of war to
enforce his disposition as an act of
war.
Diplomatic representatives of foreign
countries in Honolulu are always
looked TO with eagerness in a civil
emergency and the opponents of resto-
ration assert the belief that these
would formally protest against the act
of the United states minister with the
exception of representatives of Great
Britain and Japan and possibly Russia.
There have been rumors from the
state department that the United
States has not entered upon an at
tempt to restore the queen without a
thorough understanding with all the
powers, and it is said that the govern
ment mas received assurances that nc
objection will be raised to its plan.
With regard to Germany, France
) and Portugal, the opponents to resto-
) ration say the citizens of all thes,
powers recognized as necessary to thu

A correspondent asked several
Parrish could be, admitting that he is
guilty, but obtained no definite
answer. Parrish says Langdon was his
dearest friend and that he had high
regard for him. 1t is alleged that the
firm carried $4,000 policy. in an in
surance company on the life of the
murdered man. In fact, this is ad
mitted to be true. 1t is understood
that Cabell and Arnold have forged
every link in the chain of evidence,
and that the assassins OF Y. M. Lang
don are now behind the bars; that the
evidence is conclusive and escape is
impossible.
VIM j. Parrish was financial agent
of the state penitentiary under Cover
nor Ross. No arrest ever made in Dali
las has created so great a sensation.
Late tonight a correspondent met DR..
o. w. Langdon and Bryan T. Barry.
Langdon said: 1.-THE assassins of my
brother are behind the bars and l
want to give the fullest measure of
praise to Sheriff Cabell and also Chief
of Police j. c.. Arnold"
1t was also stated that the motive
for the crime was to secure the insur-
ance money referred to above.
THE NEGRO ARRIVES.
Sheriff Cabell, Detective Tom Fur

rived in the city at 1920 tonight with
John Paris, the negro arrested at
Lampasas. He is a coal black dapper
looking negro, small in stature and 81
years old. He was employed as jani-
tor Tor a year or more by Herman
the iailor and was frequently before
the police court. Paris is in pre-
carious condition. He severed his
windpipe when he made the attempt
at suicide. He read a full confession
to Sheriff Cabell and later a cores
pondent. He said: Il attempted sui

That the Jew bankers own the
United States senate and that the ma
jority are mere Jacks and jump when
the bankers pull the string, was never
more clearly demonstrated than in
the action which that body took on
the resolutions offered by Senator
PETER asking for information of the
secretary of the treasury regarding
the actions of national banks in the
large cities east. The purchased sem
atOrs did not hesitate a moment to
reverse the rule of action, which,
without exception, has been followed
for a hundred years. 1t has always
been the rule that when a senator in-
troduced a resolution asking for in
formation to pass it without objection,
but when a senator introduced reso-
lutiOns of inquiry, the answer to
which would reveal the high-handed
violation of the law by bankers and
expose the schemes of highway rob-
berry practiced by Wall street, instead
OF letting them pass, referred them to

knew that Dan Voorhees, would see to

Our Present Peril.

Mr.. B 0. Flower, editor of The
Arena, in his department OF Notes
and Announcement" has the follow
ing timely words in the August issue
of his Review:
Our country never needed broad
craftsmanship in perfect sympathy
with the industrial millions more than
to-day. The crushing poverty suffered
through contraction of currency has
for years been bearing upon millions
of lives. Now the whole fabric of
business is being shaken to its foun-
dation. One thing is of vital impor-
tance-the English financial policy
which the last administration favored
and which has dragged Australia over
the precipice of ruin, must be resisted
in spite of the gamblers of Wall Street
and the official lash Of their slaves.
Unless there is an expansion of cur
rency, and unless the government
turns its back upon those who are
growing rich through special privi-
leges, we shall have only temporary
relief followed by still greater dis
tress. The nation is facing a crisis
of greater proportion than most peo-
pie imagine. The recent action of the
money power in India is fresh proof
of the merciless inhumanity of the
usurer. Australia's ruin is not
enough. Now India must suffer; and
if the gold power can corrupt our law
makers our country must experience
Autralia's fate. Reinstate silver or
demonetize gold.
The present hour is fraught with
great danger to the republic If the
gold power, the gamblers of Wall
street and the bankers who are grow
ing rich on special privileges, succeed
in further enslaving the people. a
greater evil will have been consul
mated than war with all its pitiless
ravages, for nothing is so terrible as
the gradual pressure of the millions
toward the precipice of starvation,
that privileged classes may acquire
millions of unearned wealth. II the
people will call meetings everywhere,
circulate petitions for government
postal savings banks and demand the
immediate increase of the volume of
currency to be issued and sustained
by the government. and not be placed
in the hands of privileged classes, a
victory for the republic of measureless
proportions will soon be achieved
Establish postal savings banks and
reinstate silver or demOnetize gold.
The republic of Florence went into
eclipse. not owing to war or pestileuce
or famine but through the machine
tions of the great banking aristocracy
of the De Medici A nation has far
more to fear from her usurers than
from foreign arms or civil war. Let
our congressman read the history of
Florence before paying heed to the
willy suggestions which the financial
oligarchy will surely offer. We are
at the parting of roads. and the fate
of the republic of Florence is to-day
threatening the republic of America.

people, or slaves to the usurers?"
