Ominous Preparations on the Part
of Her rIajest Ship Champion.

w AANA -
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The Press says:
The key to the Hawaiian riddle comes in a
private letter. dated Honolulu, December
IA, ten days before the departure of the
Corwin. The letter is from DR.. NJ. Z.
Grossman of Honolulu, inclosing a memo
randum from ore of the petty officers on
board the British gunboat Champion now
at Honolulu.
DR.. GrOssman writes: "On Decem ber
The Champion left Honolulu harbor for
the ostensible purpose of going to the
island of Maui and having shell practice.
She left Honolulu, but did not go to Maui.
Instead she steamed for couple of hours
up and down in front of Hon oluIu harbor
Her crew were all the time going

ing to the bsrbor late in the day. but not

States ships was allowed TO go on shore"
The memorandum from on board the
British gunboat which DR.. Grossman en-
closes. is as follows: "H. NJ. S. Champion
is preparing to hoist the British ensign
over Hawaii.
Tuesday, December z, whsn off shore
she had gun drill and sighting on the

peal TO the British Minister, Major Wode e.
ouse, for protection"
The English flag is TO be hoisted. and a
protectorate declared over Hawaii.
Troops from the Champion will be landed
under the protection of British guns.
Grossman writes that such plan should
not be a surprise to anybody because it is
quite In accord with all previous ideas of
British seizure. and is neither more or less
than the execution of ideas for many
years cultivated by British interests.
The welI-known Theophilus III. Davies
has been Intriguing for upward of twelve
months TO attain such a result. and Il is
evident that subsequent 10 the Queens first
refusal to Willis TO accept restoration to the
throne unless sustained by force of Amer
lean arms her British friends have been
advising her to accept Willis proposal and
thus gain restoration by the power of the
United States diplomacy and arms, after
which, the Provisional Government being
out, she could promptly apply to Great
Britain for support and turn the islands
and their dependencies over to Great
Britain.
This could not be regarded in the light
of an affront to the United States by Great
Britain because President Cleveland had.
for the United States. withdrawn the
treaty and rejected all overtures looking
to annexation.
DR.. Grossman states that his inform a.
tion is derived direct from British naval
officer.

PRESIDENT DoLE's REPLY.
Thurston VIII Deliver 1t to Presi-
dent Cleveland in Person.

HONOLULU, Jun. 1.-The reply of the
Provisional Government to the demand Of
Willis was drafted by President Dole and
contains between 5000 and 6000 words. 1t
is an able document and states the case of
Hawaii IN 10 pleading form. One of the
strong points of the reply is that the ex-
Queens point of amnesty is not touched.
The President and Government being pre-
pared for resistance are of the opinion that
side issues cannot be justly raised by
either Mr.. Cleveland or the monarchy.
l.. A. Thurston, Hawaiian Minister,
leaves here tomorrow by the steamer
Peking for Washington. He will take with
him copy of the Governments reply to
Mr.. Willis, which up to the present hour
has been refused to the press. In CONVEX
sation with President Dole 1t is learned
that this refusal has been a diplomatic
point, not to publish the answer before it
has been placed in the hands of President
Cleveland.
l have been assured, however, that
should the President Of the United States
delay the delivery OF this document it will
al once be made public on the arrival of
Minister ThurstoI by the steamer Peking,
due TO leave here tomorrow.
The news received here to date has re-
ceived various comment. Royalsts still
assert that they believe restoration will be
accomplished by Cleveland, and annexa-
tiopists as con fdeDtly declare that no
restoration shall take place.
The situation has in fact settled into
one of glsring defiance, In which the roy
alists themselves admit that they would
have no show unless aided by the forces of
the United States.
The proposition for the establishment of
a republic here, said to have been brought
down by Minister Thurston and II. n.
Castle of the Advertiser. is absolutely de-
MED by both these gentlemen.
To the Associated Press Mr.. Thurston
said:
''Such an idea never entered our heads.
Why should il? We are now an estab-
lished Government. We have been recog-
nized by both the u tied States and Rus
sia, and TO establish republic would be
but TO renUunce the recognized ma ationslity
we DOW have. This we DO not propose to
do. Deny it absolutely and give it the
widest publication" concluded Mr..
Thurston.
When interviewed Mr.. Castle took the
same view. He said: "Y ou can see what
my views are from the columns of the
Advertiser. While, like Thurston. I am

The MOhican Is Ready to Sail at a

VALLEJO, Jan. S.-ThIs morning Naval
Constructor Taylor, in compliance with an
order from naval headquarters, cOncen-
trated all the available mechanical force
on the United States ship Alert, recently
returned from the Asatic station, and will
continue TO push the needed repairs to
completion. The repairs to the Alert are
extensive, requiring an outlay of $4,000.
A consignment of material for the epair
of the United States ship Philadelphia has
been received at the navy-yard. and as
soon as the flagship arriyeo at the navy
yard a full working force will be en-
plOyed to make the needed repairs.
This afternoon orders were given TO
Commander Clark of the United States
ship Mohican to make all needed prepara-
tion on board his ship for sea. Shortly
afterward the Mohican was reported ready
and the navy-yard tug steamed alongside,

fires are banked and steam is kept up,
ready to slip the mooriug chains ut a no.

Considerable anxiety continues to mani
fest itself among navy officers regarding
the Hawaiian situation. and fears are ex-
pressed that trouble has occurred. This
opinion gained credence to-day from the
fact Of retcence on the part of Washing

Several Resolutions Relating to the
Hawaiian Matter.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-Hawaii was up
in the Senate today. Chandler introduced
a new Hawaiian resolution, and the Hoar
resolution about BlOunts salary came up
in regular order. German moved their
reference to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, but Hoar objected.
Chandler's resolution directs the Com
mittee Of the judiciary ''to inquire and
report to the Senate their opinion as 10

Chandler asked imm ediate eonsidera-
ton, but German objec ted. The chair
then laid before the Senate the resolution
of HOar. in trOduced last week, asking the
Secretary of the Treasury to report the
amount of money paid Blount aud by
what authority.
After some debate it was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Turpie presented resolution declaring
that the project of the annexation of
Hawaii is inexpedient and should be no
further considered, and that it is of the
highest International interest that the
Government of Hawaii be allowed to pur-
sue IFS own line of policy. The resolution
went over until tomorrow.
Frye attempted to secure a vote on his
resolution declaring against American
interference at Hawaii. but Butler OBJ
jected and the resolution went over until
Wednesday. The Senate then adjourned.

Minister Damon is hopeful that il no
adverse action is taken by Congress a per-
manent semi-American form of govern

which will be the forerunner of stable
government in unstable Hawaii.

VICTORIA. B. c.. Jan. s.-The Canadian
Pacific steamer Warrlmoo arrived today.
bringing Honolulu advices to January 1.
The most intense excitement prevailed
throughout Honolulu until the arrival of
the Corwin. Alter that Minister Willis
made demand upon President Dole to
surrender the Government to the Queen.
. The Provisional Government promptly Ie-
fused. and Willis took no further step to
enforce a compliance of his order. The
excitement rapidly subsided, and for a
week before the sailing Of the Warrmoo
there was perfect tranquility. 1t is now
thought the crisis is passed.

pHuLIPsBURG, Pa, June 19.-There has
been no time since the suspension of min

regions when the miners and operators
were as far apart or when the outlook
for settlement was less promising than It
is 1T present Representatives of the
miners from the Houtzdale region were
holding a conference yesterday afternoon

conference in Philadelphia, at which the
operators decided not to pay the com
promise rate of forty cents n ton for min
ing. The miners made an effort to per-
suade President Bradley to telegraph to
all miners Wa. were to resume work to-
day not to do so, especially in the Dubois
region.
Failing in this they adopted resolutions
leclaring that the strike will be contin-
ued until the men or the operators are de
feated, and that no offer looking to re
sumption of work would be considered
until it came from all the operators in the
district. An offer has been made by one
Of the largest operators in the district to
pay forty cents gross ton until the end
Of the present year. after which he will
pay fifty cents, with the understanding
that the price shall thereafter remain at
the latter figure. Others say they will
offer forty-five cents a gross ton, but it is
not likely, from the mood the men are
now in, that either offer will be accepted.
Local operators say that if resumption is
permitted in any portion of the district
they will make an effort to start their
| mines, either with their old employees or
| with new men.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE
The Income Tax Alone WIN Now Della

The Income Tax Alone WIN Now Delay
the Tariff BIZ.
WASHINGTON June 10.-From the pro
gress made by the senate yesterday with
the tariff bill it seemed possible that the
Democratic prophecy that this, the twelfth
week Of the tariff debate, would be the
last, might be fulfilled. The last two schrd
ules before the free list were disposed off,
They comprised fifty nine paragraphs GOV
ering twelve pages of the bill This leave
only the free list, the income tax, internal
revenue and administrative features of
the bill uuuct-d uuou

greatest obs aclc % progress i'm the re.
mniuder of the bill, but the excessive heat
may have the effect of abridgiug the de-
bate upon il somewhat IT. is limited that
the Democrats may not Insist upon the
changes proposed in the administrative
features of the bill. If not the bill ought
at least to be reported to the senate by the
end Of the week. The only paragraph
which provoked much Of a contest yester-
day was that restoring coal to the duti-
able list. Mr.. Hill led the opposition, and
his amendment TO place it on the free list
preciptated quite debate but in the end
was defeated by practically the solid Dem
ocratic and Republican vote. Mr.. Irby
| Is. O. was the only Democrat who sup
| ported the amendment, although it Sc
cured the votes of two Republicans, Hans
| brough N. D. and Washburn Mimi, as
well as the votes Of the three Populists.
| The paragraph relating to precious stones
was passed over at the request of Mr..
| Teller.
On account of the slight illness of the
| speaker Mr.. Bailey yesterday discharged
| the duties of speaker pro TEN. in the
house. Two bills were passed and then
the anti-option bill was taken up, but
without arousing the bitterness formerly
displayed against this measure Mr.
Hatch made the opening speech in favor
of it. He was followed by Mr.. Warner (N
W in opposition and by Mr., Bryan (Neb.,
in favor of the bill, after which the houst
adjourned.

THE miners in this state, through their
representatives, agreed last week to accept
the Columbus agreement and resumed
work yesterday. What a singular fact it
is that such an agreement could not have
been reached weeks ago. The riotings,
bloodshed, losses in wages, losses to pro
pretors, losses to many prominent in
dustries, damages to property and losses
to railroad companies would all have been
avoi led Who has been benefited The
miners have exhausted their slender
means, the places of many of them have
been supplied by new hands, and as a
consequence their families will suffer,
Evidently the unwisdom of violent strikes

vino ngly demonstrated by this, one of
the most notable on record.

by others, with such stock in his pocket,
because, he testifes, he was particular to
sell his sugar stock before he voted.
All that our junior Senator insists upon
is that the mere fact that a man is a
Senator does not take away from him the
right that every citizen has to buy stocks,
take risks as to their advance or decline,
and sell them at a profit if he can.
And we think he is on solid ground,
We may as well close up Congress and
give up popular government as an i'm

QUAY ALL RIGHT.

The New York Recorder says Senator
Quay, of this state, takes the bull by the
horns, and says that he has speculated in
sugar stocks and other stocks for a long
time past and he considers he had per
feet right to do so.
But he limits his assertion Of a Sen
ator's right to be a speculator by saying
that he has never had any connection
with the Sugar Trust, nor any acquaints
ance with any of it's members nor any
conference with its agents or anybody
else about its interest in tariff legisla-
tion.
He added the further statement that he
Mad not been in any way concerned OF
consulted in the framing of the sugar
schedule And, beyond this, he had sold
out all the sugar stocks he held, at loss
20 himself before the vote was taken on
tne sugar schedule, so that he could vote
without having any interest in it,
From all of which it appears that Mr.,
Quay does not by any means assert the
right of a Senator TO speculate in stocks

in fixing as the member of committee
