that Celia had been arrested in st. Paul,

officers had released Celia, but had re-
fused to give Mrs. Rivett any reason for

Baron de Worms Objects to Our
AnneXing Hawaii.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-A correspondent
has had an interview with Baron Henry
Gle Worms, Conservative member of
parliament for the EastTOXsteth division
of Liverpool and parliamentary under
secretary Of the colonial Office in the
late administration of Lord Salisbury.
Baron de Worms is regarded as being
thoroughly in the confidence of the Con-
servative leaders, especially as to their
foreign policy. subject with which he
is wholly converSant. In reply to in
quiries, the baron said that he had long
expected the trouble which had broken
out in Honolulu. He did not approve
Of the proposed annexation of Hawaii
by the United States. America. said
Baron de Worms, had 10 right to annex
a place thousands of miles distant from
their own territory. He considered that
the proper remedy for the Hawaiian
difficulties would be joint protecto-
rate similar to thu protectorate of
Samoa. The British and German pop
ulation in Hawaii dWarfed the Ameri-
can, and hence they would not allow
the scream Of the Americas eagle to
silence their claims. England would
oppose annexation, and Germany would
be sure to speak.

THE FIRE COMMITTEE.
How Little Woodward Got to Be
Chairman.

The aldermen are warming up over
the fire department matter, and the next
council meeting will bling forth a lively
time. The resolution calling for an in
vestigatlon of the fire department will
stand a ialr show of going through, and,
in that event, something will drop. A
prominent Republican alderman stated
Yesterday that he would do all III his
power to secure the passage OF the resO-
luton, and, if he were fortunate enough
to be put on the investigating commit

thoroughly honorable Republican alder
man gave out the following story, and
VOuched for its authenticity:

consequently there was considerable

Aid. Woodward invited him to dine with

Woodward offered to turn over four

election, provided he would guarantee
to him (Woodward) the craftsmanship of
the committee on fire department. The
alderman roasted Woodward to turn,
and assured him lie would promise
nothing of the kind, and furthermore, it
would be the very last thing he would
do.
They have not spoken to each other
since.
This same alderman told Brazie that
if he appointed Woodward chairman of
the fire committee he would make the
mistake OF his life. DraZie took no

The Minneapolis branch of the needle
work guild was held yesterday at the

with the needlework guilds plan of
supplying warm clothing to the needy.
The secretary's report contained an
itemiZed account of the distribution of
Sill garments. The guild works on
thoroughly nOn-Sectarian plan. As Mrs.
Airport said, Catholics can be just as
needy as Protestants, and the business
of the organization is to ameliorate SUI
fering. Among the institutions 10

the following: Asbury hospital. Beth

the Poor, Homeopathic hospital, st.

ISOLATION, Jenny Lind society, city hos
pita and Home for Children and Aged
Women. Letters of thanks from most
of the institutions were read yesterday.
The report suggested that for the COM

is of the opinion that the United States
must either annex the Sandwich islands

LAID TO SUGAR PLANTERS.
An Interview With u Relative OF
Liliuok aIani.

II IL interview W TN u 1ScidtiVe Oh
Liliuokalani.
VIENNA, Feb. 3.-The Tagblatt pub
fishes an interview with a relative of
Queen Liliuokalani concerning the rev.
olution in Hawaii. The relative says
that the queen had frequently protested
against the cruelty of the American
sugar planters toward the natives. She
also objected to the Importation of
Chinese, principally because she feared
they would bring leprosy with them.
The fact that she was the owner of
large sugar plantations was also a
cause OF trouble between her and the
Americans. The object of the new
constitution was 10 protect the
lower classes from foreign land
owners, the queen had said, and to upset
her plan the Americans had brought
about the revolution. The Americans
had prevented the marriage of the
Princess KiuIani to distant relative of
the English royal family because they
feared an increase OF British influence,
and had tried to make a match between
the princess and an American. The
relative of the queen describes her as
woman Of fine mind, an accomplished
pianist and talented composer.
