New YORK, February IA race war
of considerable proportions has been 60

during the week. The white men who
were employed in loading and unloading
the Mallory steamships rose up In arms
against the increasing number OF ne
groes who were employed TO do that

score Of color. 1t was alleged that the
colored men were working for less
wages than the white men.
The Mallory steamships DO big cat

abouts from New Orleans, aud from

provisional government Of Hawaii on
February 5. EVERYBODY is anxiously
awaiting news from the United States,
and the sentiment in favor OF anneXa-
tion is reported as steadily growing. a
detachment of sailors and marines from
the United States ship Boston is still
Quartered on shore. The United States
war ship Mohican was just entering the
harbor OF Honolulu as the Belgic sailed,
but there was apparently no necessity
for any increase OF the naval forces, for
both the whites and natives seemed
content to await action by the wash
ington Government.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani Is still In re-

provisional Government has demon
strated It's ability to cope with the situa-
tion, and has in great measure won

HARRlSONS CHANGE OF HEART.
he Decides to Allow Foster to Go on
with the Sale OF BOnds 10 Make Good
the Gold Deficiency.

the Gold Deficiency.
New YORK, February ia special
from Washington says that it has been
learned on high authority that Presi-
dent Harrison has reconsidered his de-
termination not to allow the sale OF
bonds to make good the gold deficiency
Before leaving the city Wednesday the
President authorized Secretary Foster
to offer bonds for sale whenever in his
judgment such action is absolutely
necessary to maintain the governments
gold reserve.
Another dispatch on the same subject
says; This sudden change of mind on
the part of the President was wholly
unexpected and is not TO be attributed
TO any outside influence brought TO bear
upon him. On the contrary, such men
as J. Pierrpont Morgan, who came to
Washington Wednesday to talk over
the situation with the authorities left
Secretary Foster decidedly disaDpont-
ed. They received no announcement
whatever. They left Washington as
they had come, uncertain as 70 the atti-
tude of the Government with regard to
this important question. The change
OF front determined upon by
the President leaves Secretary
Foster free to act as he
sees fit, should an emergency arise in
the Presidents absence. That such an
emergency has yet arisen he does not
believe. The treasury yesterday had
still on hand but Ss,OOO,OOO Next Sat-
urday's shipments of gold TO Europe will
probably not be so large, as it was
feared they would be. If not as now
seems likely instead of being S6,000,-
600, there are only about one-third
Of this sum at the end of the week,
the treasury will still have in its vaults
little over S6,OOO,OOO. One thing
Secretary Foster is fully determined
upon-he will not permit the 500, 000,-
600 reserve TO be attacked. On this
point he is of the same opinion which
he expressed at the annual dinner Of
the Chamber OF Commerce at New
York in November last.
