Not An Idle RumOr.

CHICAGO, Dec. ia Washington
special says: There is a we'll defined
belief in diplomatic circles that the
attempt of the Cleveland administra-
ton 70 restore the Hawaiian Queen
to the throne has been abandoned
The belief is not based on idle rumor,
but on official information received ut
one OF the embassies from that en-
bassy's home government, which is
understood TO have received it's infor-
mutton from it's minister at Honolulu,
and to have Immediately acquainted
its representative here with the in
formation. According to this infor-
nation there is just ono possible
chance OF the Queen being restored.
That chance consists Of the Queen
coming of her high horse. and Of the
provisional government relinq ishing
it's grip in return for the good will Of
the Cleveland administration, with
the understanding that the United
States will offVr no hindrance to the
annexstionists overthrowing the
Queen Immediately after she is re-
stored.
