HAWAIIAN NEWS,
Minister Willis Refused to Take Part In
the National Celebration.

the National Celebration.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-The brig w. G.
Irwin arrived from Honolulu bringing adj
vices to Jan. II, five days later than last
advises received here by the steamer Mono
wal on Jan. 10. Since last advices but lit
tie of Importance has happened. The peo-
pie are preparing for grand celebration
of the first anniversary Of the establish
ment of the provisional government.
Adverse comment has been created by
the fact that notice was sent to the United
States minister by the provisional govern
ment that Jan. II was the national holt
day and asking him if he would honor it
with public notice and salutes from the
United States warships in port. This let
ter of invitation included two others ad-
dressed to the captains of the United States
warships Philadelphia and Adams asking
them to join in the celebration.
A reply was received which greatly star
tied the government The substance of
Minister Willis reply is unofficially given
as follows:
have received your notice of yesterday and
am obliged to say that the United States min
lister finds it impossible to be present to partici-
pate in the celebration of national independ-
ence, proposed by the provisional govern
ment of Hawaii. l therefore decline to take
part in such celebrations on the part Of the
United States of America.
Upon receipt of this message the widest
excitement prevailed in the government
circles. They had thought as the Cleve-
land administration had acknowledged the
provisional government the United States
was prepared to stand by its guns. The
situation at the present writing is one in
which the anneXationists are standing
shoulder to shoulder.

policemen kept pressing back the people
until they had materially reduced the dan
ger that was so very apparent. When Mr..

liver the final plea for protection, the over
hanging galleries were black and dense
with spectators who thronged them. Ev-

sembly Only 10 of the 354 members of the
house were absent. Many grave senators
and other distinguished personages were
on the floor, and in the galleries were Mrs.
Cleveland Mrs Vice President Stevenson
and other ladies of eminence and distinc
tion. Then for three hours the oratory of
the champions of the two economic sys-
TENS followed-Reed, Crisp and Wilson
while their partisans made the air vocal
with their shouts OF approval.
The appearance of the speaker of the
house upon the floor engaged in debate
was in itself a remarks ble as we'll as an I'M
usual thing. Each of the speakers seemed
to be in his best form, and the speeches
which they delivered will rank among the
most brilliant of their lives. When these
were finished, Mr. Wilson, who spoke last,
was lifted on the shoulders of his admiring
colleagues and carried triumphantly from
the hall amid a scene of unmatched enthu-
siasm.
The Closing Scenes.
When it came to voting, the victory for
the measure was overwhelming. The vote
upon the income tax proposition, taken in
connection with the internal revenue
amendment, stood 1872 to so. Only 10 Re-

will be of Romanesque architecture. The
structure will consist of the basement and

dimensions are so by 90 feet. The main
floor will have seating capacity of over
five hundred with two vestibules and re-
cesses for main altar and two side affairs.
The ceiling will be vaulted and Ianelled in

towers and for the most part will be
shingled. The ornamental works on the
outside front will be of iron with large
stained glass window over the main en-
trance. The basement will contain a large
hall with ante rooms suitable for church
services or society meetings. The founda-
ton and cellar walls will be of
quarried stone with brown stone copings
at grade. The Lithuanian parish society
will meet in G. A. R. hall Sunday after
noon to devise plans whereby they can
best push the work of the new church to a
successful completion. There are over
three hundred Lithuanian Catholic FAM
lies in Waterbury and they expect to be
assisted in the work by their fellow coun-

also by all who believe in the work in
which they are now engaged even though
they be not of their race or creed.

Nothing like it was ever known in the his

For hours before the debate began the cor
ridors leading to the galleries were surg

came so great that men cried out in terror,
and women tainted in fright.
1t was estimated that over 10000 at
tempted to gain admittance to the CALLER
les of the house Their seating capacity is
about 5000, and every available seat was
occupied long before the gavel dropped.
The people were lined against the walls
and banked against the doors, and so great
did the crush become that the members Of
the house secured permission to bring their
wives upon the floor.
Shortly after the house convened the
crowds in the immense gallery on the north
side of the chamber became so great that
there was imminent danger that some of
the people would be pressed over the rail
ing into the house below. Those in the
corridors kept crushing into the doorways,
and those still further back pressed for
ward until the stairs and aisles of the gal
lery were literally packed with mob of
restless, impatient men.
Galleries Dangerously Crowded.
The crowding in at the doors, however,
continued until Speaker Crisp, who had
been nerYously noting the dangerous pack
ing of people, interrupted the roll call long
enough to say that it was in the interest of
safety to human life that the doorway
should be cleared. He asked the doorkeep-

While the demonstration was going on
Speaker Crisp relinquished the chair to
Mr.. Hatch and assumed the old seat which
he occupied in the days before he was ele-
waited to the speakership When he arose
in his place, he received an ovation. The
speaker is symmetrical in form, dignified
in bearing, with broad, we'll poised head,
frlnged with a touch of silver hair on the
sides, upon pair of square shoulders. He
booked the judicial minded man he is. I'm
til he warmed up he spoke with the hest
tation of man weighing each word and
with perceptible tremor of the lip. AS
he became aroused, however, he displayed
more freedom and ease until the words
came in perfect torrent.

generous applause by his Democratic asso-
ciates on the floor, but his points were of
an argumentative character, which APP
pealed to the students of the question rath-
er than to the galleries. He read from the
minority report and criticised that feature
which declared that the foreigner paid the
tax. In particular the speaker addressed
himself to the ex-speaker, although the
latter was still kept in the cloakroom by
the congratulatory handshakes.

ton were "A period of unrest, during which
