Dole Fears That Incoming Migrants
Nay Be Soldiers for the ex-Queen.
San Francisco, Cal, March 10.-The
steamer Australia which arrived here to-
day six days, from Honolulu, brings the
following Hawaiian advices from Homo
lulu up to March g. 1894: Every steamer
that has arrived here during the last two
months has brought a number of steerage
passengers, who have seemed to have no
visible means of support and no good rea-
son for coming to the islands. This has
occurred so often and Honolulu is becom-
ing so oyerrun with these strangers,
that the idea has been prevalent
that they have come in the interest of the
queen. 1t has been reported to the gov
ernment, on seemingly good authority,
that the agents of Queen Liliokualani
have been recruiting men in both the
Uuited States and British Columbia, prin-
cipally the latter. for some time. The
government refused to believe such ru-
mors, but of late suspicion has been
aroused, and active steps have been taken
to nip in the bud any plot that the roy
alists may have of restoring the queen by
force

yune's Kosciusko, Miss, special says:
The case against w. P, Ratlife for the
murder of Samuel A. jackson, was called
to-day. Ratliffe's attorneys asked for
continuance on the ground that they had
only to-day got the names of several
parties who were important witnesses for
the defence and had not had the time to
have them summoned for this court;
that w. p. Sanders, the unfortunate
young gentlemen who was wounded
in the ARRAY, was an important witness
for the defense, and that it was impossi-
BILE for him to appear in court during this
session; also a special venire would have
to be drawn, which would consume much
time The Judge listened attentiyely to the
pleading and then gave the defense until
Monday to bring in the newly found wit
nesses, and should they not offer better
reasons for a continuance, the case will
in all probability be heard this term
The state was ready for trial this morn
ing. The names of some sixty or seventy
witnesses were read out. and the case,
when it does come up, promises to be a
lengthy one.'
