its reply to Minister Willis Jan. 6, and the
announcement was received with general
favor on the part Of the people. Minister
Thurston, who is ct present in San Fran
cisco. In an open letter to the public, says
that there is no prospect Of any radical
change in the existing order in Honolulu.
The provisional government, he, says, is
growing in favor every day with the peo-
pie. President Cleveland has at last
made public the dispatches which passed
between MIR. Willis and the government.

all in their power to injure all Deadwood
enterprises and to make every effort to
have the county seat removed, either by
state authority or dynamite. 4
