iaces the Government in fine financial

places the Government in a fine financial
conditi on.
The royalists are confident restoration
will take place. and are offering bets OF
TWO to one that the near future will de-
velop Cleveland's policy more July.
The celebration of last Wednesday night
was something unprecedented IN Hawaii,
and was celebrated with an eclat that was
never before seen here.
The Mariposa, due yesterday, has not
yet arrived. Should she bring unfavor-
able news stand at arms Will be at once
taken, and aDnexationists declare that
Cleveland would be to blame for the CON-
plete destruction Of the hopes of restora-
ton.
The town is quiet and busin ess is run
ming in its regular groove.
Minister Willis and Con sul-General
Mills are denounced on every hand. The
American League Is defiant and increasing
in mem berShip.
The following editorial from the Ha-
waian Gazette of January IS is significant
as showing the feeling entertained toward
the United States. as a result of President
ClevelaId's peculiar diplomatic policy:
"a great deal OF indignatie is felt at the
OioOOulbooys ~ OoO III oIiOu6CL WOIus
shown by the diplomatic corps toward the
Provisional Government yesterday. This
indignation is directed toward the United
States Minister Plenipotentiary and En-
vOy Extraordinary Willis, who. as head of
the diplomatic body. is of course respOn-
sible for the course taken. the other men,
berS merely following his lead.
1--WE feel no sympathy for this indigna-
ton. which appears to US quite unf0unded.
AT the same time it is so natural that it
should be felt and expressed, too, that we
take the liberty of suggesting some con-
siderations in explanation of the appar-
emily extraordinary course of the American
Minister.
''In nutshell the truth is that Mr..
Willis found himself in dilemma. The
entire sovereignty and independence of the
Hawaiian Government having been fully
recognized by the United States the
American warships should have fred sa-
lute. On the other hand the United States
having demanded the surrender Of the
Government q salute should not have
been fired. AS a free and independent
nation we should have been saluted, but
as a private dependency of Mr.. Cleveland
we should not. AS we are at peace with
the United States the Minister should
have bowed and smiled at the executive
building, but as we are at war he should
have barred his front gate, rolled himself
up in the American flag and gazed around
with an air of gloomy and fOrbidding def
ance. Who shall 'rede' this riddle. who
shall resolve these contradictions? What
ever course Mr.. Willis had pursued he
might have cited chapter and verse for it.
Whatever he had done he wonld have
been right. Is this Government at peace
with the United States or not? Does the
United States recognize its sovereignty or
not? Who shall say? Does Mr. Willis
himself knOw?''

FLOGGED THE WOMEN.
Germans in the Cameroons Say the
Punishment Was Deserved.

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The Cologne Gazette
says that Herr Leist Chancellor for the
German Cameroons. in his report to the
Government admits that much discomfort
exists among Dshomeyans because they
have not received their pay. They arrived
after suffering severe herdships, and their
care and sustenance entailed a heavy out
lay. In regard TO the floggng of the
wives of native policemen the report
states that the women were punished for
working in a slovenly manner. The num-
Der of lashes administered ranged from
five to ten.
Traders in the country where the trou
bles occurred say that quiet has been re-
stored and no other buildings except those
belonging to the Government were dam

road, revolver in hand, at the time when
the fighting was at its height. and began
to tend the wounded, taking no notice of
the bullets falling around her.

CANNON ON HARBORS.
Does Not Agree With Coils p.
Huntington.
Why the Southern Pacific Company
Abandoned Its improvements
at San Pedro.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Representative
Cannon OF California was before the
House Committee on Rivers and Harb0rs
this morning and replied to HuntingtOn's
argument of yesterday in favor of Santa
Monica as location for deep-water har-
Dor. Mr.. Cannon told the committee that
three different boards of engineers had re.
ported iu favor of San Pedro as against
Santa Monica, on account of the natural
advantages of the former. Il was better
protected on account Of Point Firman and
Catalina Island. Santa Monica being an
open rOadstead the ocean swell had
broken down all the wharves ever built
tnere.
Mr.. Cannon. in slluding to Huntington's S
statement that he had abandoned San
Pedro after spending 81. 600. 900 there. said
that Huntington had abandoned it not be-
cause it was disadvantageOus site for a
deep-water harbor, but because an opposi-
tion railroad had entered on the eastern
side of San Pedro harbor. Not until then
did Huntington discover that it was not a
good place. Cannon asked the committee
whether it would be willing to make an ap-
propriatiOn for a deep-water harbor at
Santa Monica if the Government engineers
would favor such project.
Chairman Blanchard. speaking for the
committee. replied Nc"
Representative Cannon explained that
he had been elected TO Congress on this
issue. defeating Harvey Lindley, the
Southern Pacific candidate. Cannon said
that on this platform he had carried every
county in his district. which counties had
given Harrison decisive pluralities over
Cleveland. At the same election Los
Angeles tCounty gave Cannon about 3S 90
plurality over the Southern Pacific can di-
date, while Harrison carried it by over
1000. The people of his district were
familiar with the respective merits OF San
Pedro and Santa Monica.
Mr.. Cannon stated to THE CALL corre-
spondent to-day that be had assurances
that the committee would make an apprn-
priatiOn for San Pedro as well Is for Port
Hartford, but the amounts would not be as
large as desired. berause in nearly every
case the committee was cutting the esti-
mates about 30 per cent. The Secretary of
War had recommended 100000 for San
Pedro and $50, 600 for Port Hartford.

MRS. FOY is CRAZY.
At Least That Is the Opinion of
Her Husband.

CHICAGO. Feb. 6.-Andrew Foy was a
witness in the Coughlin case to-day. He
is the man whose wife created a sensation
some tine ago by testifying for the prose
cution that CoughliD, Burke. her husband
and others held a secret conference in her
house. at which the plot to assassinate DIR.
Cronln was worked out, and that her hus-
band afterward confessed the facts to her.
Foy declared the meetings at his house
were in the interest of certain political
candidates in whom Coughlin was inter-
ested. that they had nothing whatever to
do with the murder of DR.. Cronin. and
that he (Foy) never conspired to murder
Cronin. He believed his wife crazy on
the subject. Foy admitted he had been
arrested on suspicion of being connected
with the murder.

POOLING ON THE SEA.
All of the Big Steamship Lines
Will Come In.
To Divide Up the Business as Much
as the Railroads Divide 1t
on Land.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The Herald's Lou
don correspondent cables: l am enabled
on authority of the manager of one of the
transatlantic steamship lines most closely
Interested in the proposed pooling ar
rangement, to make known the result of
the meeting held on Friday at the offices
of the American line in London. There
were present representatives. OF the Gu
nard, White Star, American. North Ger
man Lloyd and Hamburg lines. This is
what my informant had to tell regarding
the business transacted.
Already" said he, "some sort Of pool
ing arrangement has been come to between
the Hamburg and Bremen lines regarding
not only the Mediterranean but the
Atlantic business. Fridays meeting was
held with view of bringing the British
and American lines into the combination
and think l may say that. although nothing
absolutely definite was done, the result is
entirely favorable to the purpose in vew.-
Next week they will have ano ther meet
ing, probably in Liverpool. and then [
think matters will be put on a working
basis.
II do not think it probable that first or
second class passenger rates will be inter
fered with, but the minimum steerage and
freight rates to be charged in the future
will be mutually decided upon. When an
agreement is once reached / think
it will be strictly adhered to. AS
regards sIeerage passengers, | think
that the Scandinavian emigrant business
will. by mutual consent. be given up to the
British companies. We, on our part, will
keep our hands off certain continental
traffic of this nature. The utmost har-
mony and good feeling prevailed at the
meeting. and do not complain at the out
come which will be to their best interests
as well as 10 those of the companies"

AT WORK IN THE SOUTH.
The Original Rebel Seeking to
Capture Santos.
QUIET REIGNS NOW AT RIO.
But This Will All Be Changed Should
Peixoto's Ships Appear Off
the HarbOr.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE Herald's cor
respondent in Montevideo cables: The Her
AIDS correspondent in Rio Janeiro, writ
ing under date of January 80 sends word
that some men who have recently deserted
from the rebel forces inform him that they
do not believe in the report of split in
the insurgents councils. They declare
that AdmiralS MellO and Da CANA are iu
perfect accord, and that the latter is only
endeavoring to maintain his position in
Rio Bay until the former can obtain a Sc
cure fOothold in the southern provinces and
dispatch forces overland 20 Cooperate with

capital that after Santos falls. provided. OF
course that Mello can capture it. be will
return 20 Rio and assume command of the
fleet.
Da Cana, it is reported. intends to take
no aggressive steps at present unless Peix
oto's newly purchased feet arrives off Rio
Bay, and in that case he will fire upon the
city with all his ships and make desper-
ate effort to land his forces between San
Benuto and the custom-house.
Sympathizers with the rebels in this eli ~y
believe that if their forces could only
effect landing in the city they would be
at once largely re-enforced by deserters
from Peixoto's troops and by citizens who
have SO far taken no active part in the
fight, and that they would then find the
capture of Rio an easy matter.
Prominent Government officials. with

man in Rio who is un ndly to Peixoto
has already been thrust into Jail. Three
thousand of these. all told, are now in con-
tinement, including many Portuguese mer-
chants and other foreigners, he says, and
they are rowded like sheep in filthy pris-
ons. The secret police of Peixoto infest
all the hotels and cafes with their ears and
eyes wide open looking out for aud arrest
ing suspects"

grievances of the Northern Pacific en-
ployes leave for Milwaukee tomorrow
night having arranged a conference with

this is not likely at present.

New YORK. Nov. I2-James Redpath,
who was one OF the most successful Oi
American writers in his earnings, said noe
long before MS death few years ago that
rhe best tina. Il writer could hope 70 do IN
the way OF an income was TO earn perhaps
a. much as S7.OC0 year and that only
for few years The number OF men who
were able TO receive rs much as that IN
year for their writings was very small, he
thought. and it is probable that these fig
urcs represent the largest sum ever receiv-
ed by Mr. Redpatb in a single year
We're Mr. Redpath now alive and fanlil-
lar with some of the earnings Of writers
he would probably be the first to acknowl-
edge that a great change had occurred
within the past four or five years, and one
which makes it now a temptation for
those who have facility with the pen and
the capacity 10 use il so as 10 meet the
popular demand TO make Of writing pro
fession or an exclusive means of liveli-
