the attorney general will render an
opinion on the question as to the right
of the administration to issue bonds
without action by congress. Solicitor
General Aldrich drew up an opinion on
this question which Attorney General

mated that Mr.. Olney will also hold to
this judgment. 1t would seem that the
agitation of the bond issue question is
to be resumed"

have quieted down during the past five
days.
Claus Spreckles created q sensation
by demanding immediate payment of
$4,000 owed him by the government.
The provisional government claim
they will have no trouble meeting the
demand and annexationists say they are
dissatisfied with the protectorate and
believe Blount's report favors this
measure.
Royolists say on the contrary that the
claim they made all along that there
will be no annexation Is verified and
that the queen will be relnststed; also
that the provisional government has
been considering instructions to be sent
to Minister Thurston about the treaty
of annexation, asking among other
things that control of the government
lands be left to the Hawaiian
government, to be disposed of under a
law similar to the United States

up 100000, Hawaiian silver coinage,
and recon it into American money.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The ordnance
department of the army is making
preparations to manufacture new rifles
at Springfield for the army Immediately
after the beginning of the new fiscal
year. The rifle will be of very small
calibre, intended to use with smokeless
powder and is a magazine arm.
1t is estimated that within year
from July the output from the armory
will be about 1900, which is made
possible by the use of the most modern
labor-saving machinery. That number
of rifles will probably suffice to arm the
entire infantry and artillery branches.
