Announcements.

No apology is necessary on the
score of medical propriety for
thus announcing to the profession
and the public, that we have made
long, careful and special study
of cancerous diseases. together
with all malignant and other
tumors, and are able to offer the
results of our extensive experience
in Kentucky and surrounding
countries in a system of rational
and successful treatment, that we
believe has never heretofore been
attained, and we are able to point
to thousands of successful cases
not in a boasting, but rather in a
spirit of thankfulness, that we are
thus able to prove so clearly our
assertion; that our system does
cure cancer. With a positive
knowledge of this fact now so
fully endorsed by thousands Of suf-
ferers, and approved by the pro
fession, we should be wanting in
humanity if we neglected any
means in our power to spread the
glad tidings among those afflicted
with this most terrible and hope
less OF diseases.

THE CITY COUNCIL
Wrestles With the License Or
dinance.

The City Council met in ad
journed session on Monday even
ing, went into Committee Of the
Whole and proceeded to consider
the License Ordinance presented
at the last meeting. After hear
ing complaints from various per-
sons, that portion of the ordinance
fixing uniform license Of $50 for
all business houses was referred to
special committee, and the fol-
lowing reductions were made in
other licenses: Huckster license
reduced from $40 to $40, Wa'er
Company's license from $50 to
500, Gas Company's license from
$3.50 ito SIPS, proposed license
against telegraph companies strick-
en- out because of Supreme Court
decisions, steam and hand laun.
dries from $50 to S25. laundry
agents from $50 to $40, street car
license from S. to 81 per car.
Without concluding their labors
the Committee Of the Whole ad-
journed to meet again on Tuesday
evening.
Several members of the License
Committee were so disgusted with
the way the ordinance, upon
which they had bestowed so much
time and labor. was treated that
they will decline further to serve
on the committee.
The gentlemen who are favoriny
wholesale reductions should re.
member that it will require just so
much money to pay the interest
upon the bonded debt of the city,
to which purpose the license
tax must be dedicated. and
if the council fails to raise that
amount from licenses the deficit
will have to be made good from
some other source, and it will be
well to study the question a little
before acting hastily

Hawaii.

On seemingly good authority it is an
nounced that President Cleveland in
communicating to Congress the sub
stance of the recent correspondence be-
tween the State Department and Minis
ter Willis will advocate strongly the
restoration of the Queen. 1t is under
stoodthat no recent events have changed
at all the Presidents well-known opin-
ion concerning the conspiracy which re-
suited in the Hawaiian revolution and
into which the United States govern
ment was drawn by the participation of
ex-Minister Stevens. The President, it
is understood, will insist that nothing
but the complete restoration of the
Queen to all her sovereign rights will
satisfy the ends ofjustice. He will not,
it is believed, ask Congress to use force
in carrying out the course he thinks
should be pursued; but having pointed
out what appears to be the duty of the
people of the United States with regard
to weaker country wronged through
the intervention of q United States min
isthr and force of United States ma
rines, he will leave it to the discretion
of the two houses, it is said, to deter
mine what action is necessary.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
The Hawaiian Affair.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The whole
correspondence in the Hawaiian case
was presented to the House to-day. 1t
is of immense proportions. There is
really nothing new in it. 1t narrates
how Mr.. Willis proposed to the Queen
to use his efforts TO restore her to her
throne if she would pardon the rebels,
how she at first refused and then con-
sented, and then how he mildly re-
quested the usurpers to relinquish their
plumber, and how they peremptorily
refused and threw up defenses.
1t proves that Mr.. Willis, by the lack
of moral courage, and by dilly dallying
and shilly shallying, has made muss
of an affair which more efficient man
in his place would have settled within
week after his arrival at Honolulu.
The correspondence shows that nothing
Of Importance has been concealed from
the public.
The final instructions sent to Minis
ter Willis by the Mariposa, which sail
ed at 2 q. IN. to-day are as follows:
"The President sincerely regrets
that the provisional government
refuses to acquiese in the con-
clusion which his sense and
right of duty and due regard for
national honor constrain him to reach
and submit as measure of justice to
the people of the Hawaiian islands and
their deposed sovereign. While it is
true that the provisional government
was created to exist onlyuntil the islands
were annexed to the United States,
that the Queen finally but reluctantly,
surrendered to an armed force of this
government, illegally quartered in
Honolulu, and representatives of the
provisional government and represent
ed by the the provisional government
which realized its impotency was anx-
ious to get control of the Queens means
Of defense assured her that if she would
surrender her case would be subse-
quently considered by the United
States. The subversion of the Ha.
waiian government by an abuse of the
authority of the United States was in
plain violation of international law
and required the President to disavow
and condemn the act of our offending
official, and, within the limits of his
constitutional power, to endeavor to
restore the lawful authority. Your re-
ports show that on further reflection
the Queen gave her unqualified as
sent in writing to the conditions
suggested, but that the provs-
ional government refuses to ac-
quiescc in the Presidents decision
The matter now heing in the hands of
Congress. the President will keep that
body fully advised of the situation
You will until further notice consider
that your special instructions upon this
subject have been fully complied with"

SATURDAY EVENING. JAN. 10, 1894

Mr.. FELIX AGNUs, the proprietor OF
the Baltimore american, says the pro-
posed income tax sis an attempt on the
part of southern congressman to hit
the North, as there are not more than
few thousand people in the South
who have incomes in excess OF four
thousand dollars" There are only a
few thousand people in the North, as
well as in the South, who would be
subject to the tax referred to. But,
even if it were otherwise. who ought to
say the pensions, which would absorb the
whole of the tax, the people who acqulr-
ed their wealth by means ofthe war and
war legislation, or those who by the
war were reduced from aiiluence to
poverty? Then, too, simple justice
demands that the rich should pay a
part, at least, of the expenses of the
government which protects and secures
their property, no matter where they
NAV live.
