The COrrespOndence.

The first piece Of the Hawaiian cor
respondence is letter from Willis 10
Gresham dated Honolulu, November
IL, 1898. Willis states that on Monday,
November l3 the queen visited him
and he made known TO her the presi'
dents regret that she had been
dethroned through unauthorized inter
vention of the United States and his
hope that the wrong might be re-
dressed. lie then made known the
conditions of her restoration, but she
said that the persons con
cerned in her overthrow would
be beheaded and their property contis-
Gated, as was the law. Willis then
said: 81 have no further communica.
ton to make to you now and will have
none until | hear from my govern
ment." Liliuokalani declined the offer OF
a,warship for her protection and the in
terview was brought to a clos The
remainder of the letter is occupied by
observations made by Willis as to pos
sible events and says that the views
of the frat party are SO extreme
rs to require further instruction The
next dispatch from Willis is dated De
cember and gives an account Of the
happenings of Importance since his
last communication, which are
already known to the people
of the United States. He says
the japanese are destined to give the
most anxiety on account of their aspir-
ation for suffrage Continuing he says:
"As to the queens safety do not have
any fear at present There is tele-
phone in nv sleeping room, and
l have asked her people to call me up
at any hour of the night or day. She
also has the privilege, as stated in pre-
vious dispatches, of coming here or of
going on one of our war vessels"
He says he has had no interviews
with the queen or her representatives
since the one of November l3. "My
telegram TO you was purposely indeti
mite and obscure for reasons which you
doubtless now understand Enclosed
with the dispatch is report of q meet
ing of citizens from the Hawaii
Gazette. After some other dispatches
of no public interest, the correspond
! erse. ooo,as DOWN --t to tha--l.ttas
which acknowledges the re.
ceipt of instructions by the Corwin.
The letter is brief and among other oh.
servations Willis says: The excite.
ment consequent upon sthe unexpected
arrival of the Corwin is intense
throughout the city The presidents
message, which was published this
morning, has increased the excitement,
but hope no immediate outbreak will
occur"
In letter dated December ls, Willis
says that on December l6 he had an in
terview with the queen and her advis-
ors. Under date of December 20, Min
lister Willis, in confidential
dispatch gives detailed ac-
count of his actions. lie says
that he secured the queens consent to
the terms of restoration. Then for the
first time he made his position known
to the provisional government.
The final instructions sent Willis
by the Mariposa, which sailed at .
p. m, say that he has rightly com
pretended his instructions; that
the president regrets the failure
Of the provisional government to ac
q uiesce in his recommendations. The
instructions say that the president has
never claimed the right to act as arbi
traitor.

BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Western Men Think Horse From the
Plains May Win.


ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. l3.-The publ.
cation of the entries to the Brooklyn
handicap has already set the horsemen
n this vicinity to discussing the pcssi-
bility of a western horse capturing the
big prize. Never before have there
been so many entries from the west,
and il this section is treated any way
generously in the allotment of the
weights it would be 10 surprise to see
the pride of the etfete east humbled.
They have an impression down about
New York that the sun rises on one
side of that city and sets on the other,
and a way of sneering at western horses
and horsemen that would be provoca-
live of trouble were it not for the
many times that they have been
Taught severe lessons. Among the
western horses entered are Clifford, un'
ioubtedly the best 3-year-old that
showed in the west last year; Yo Tam
bien and Maid Marian, Chris Smiths
record breakers; Carlsbad, the winner
and Eloroy under Fred Fosters care,
Helen Nichols, Little Billy and Nero
to carry the fortunes of Johnny Nc
cafferty; Henry of Navarro, Byron Me-
Cielland's great colt, and Ducat. While
some Of these cannot be classed much
above the selling platter class, still
there are enough OF high grade to
arouse the hopes of western horsemen
:hat one of them will be victorious.
Taken all in all the geld that will go
20 the post for the Brooklyn this year
S not as high grade as that of 1893.
The success Of the resurrected Diablo
asst year has probably had much TO do
with encouraging owners of medium
:lass horses to take "shot at the
noon" The lighter entrance fee has
probably cut figure in this direction.
100. The list of entries also attracts
attention from the fact that the names
,f many old time public favorites are
missing for the first time in several
years, Most conspicuous among the
lbsentees are Longstreet Kingston,
Tenny, Tammany, Judge Morrow, IL
lume, RUSSELL Rudolph, Strathmeath,
La Tosca, Locohatehee. Major Domo,
Reclare, Victory and Yorlsville Belle.
Gossip AS 10 the weights seem to be
that Lamplighter will again be called
upon to carry top weight. Game little
Banquet will probably come next, with
Clifford, Yo Tambien, Sir Walter, Don
Alonzo and Wildwood following in
pretty near the order named.
The middleweight division will prob
ably be headed by Maid Marian, fol-
owed by Ajax, Sport, G. w. Johnson,
Helen Nichols, Prince George, St
Leonards, Bassetlaw, Comanche, DR..
Rice, Kinglet and the great trio Of
year olds. Domino, Henry of Navarro
and Armitage Down among the bot
tom weights will be found such horses
as Eloroy, Emin Bey and Nero.

GOV. HUGHES m TROuHLe
Indications That the Executive of ArixcI
WIN Have to Retire.

VIII Have to Retire.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ID. G. Hughes
the governor OF Arizona, is in trouble
A great many people in Arizonaj
backed by the delegate in congresj
from that territory, are anxious that
Mr.. Hughes should be retired Us pril
catc life, and somebody more in accord
with their feelings and the tendenciea
IF Arizona appointed in his place.
Mr.. Hughes, who is the owner of d
little newspaper in Arizona, was ap-
pointed governor in the early days or
he present administration. His cam
iidacy for the place was started, IL il
understood, as joke by the Arizona
newspapers. Hughes took il seriously.
worked the boom, induced the other
newspapers after a time TO accept the
matter seriously, came on to Washing
ton while Hoke Smith was still in az
adolescent state and secured his
Endorsement for the governorship, and
ne became governor
Since then there has been nothing
but feud and faction in Arizona, and II
feared that il Hughes continues in
he Office Of governor it will have the
Effect of defeating statehood. At any
ate, Hughes is SO unpopular with the
IL mocrats of the territory that they
ire afraid if he is governor during the
election il will cause the state to bt
lost to them.
AS two senators and voting member
IF congress are involved in the election

'emoving Hughes from office and

1t is charged that hughes has neve
