SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10-The
schooner Alopa arrived last night from
Honolulu, bringing advices from the
United Press correspondent:
HONOLULU, Jan. %.
American advices to January IS were brought
on the GOTH by the Mariposa. President Cleve-
lands message OF the 18th was received to-
gether with his latest instructions to Minister
Willis.
The supporters OF the provisional govern
ment understand by the attitude OF congress
that all endeavors at Washington TO restore
the Hawaiian monarchy have definitely come
to an end. Among them accordingly afveling
OF confidence and satisfaction prevails
Tho royaiists are very silent. Their papers
make little comment on the news
An interview yesterday with governments
ministers made It clear that no movement to-
wards constitutional organization Of the
government is at all likely to be taken up at
present. Any such action will be postponed
until more definite knowledge is gained Of the
disposition OF congress and the administra-
tion towards granting Hawaii some form Of
political union.
The Star, OF the 10th, urged on enlargement
OF the advisory council TO twenty-four, and re-
ferring the filling OF all vacancies TO the mass
meeting, from which all original legislative
titles were derived. The government Is fully
satisfied that the great body Of its intelligent
supporters are thoroughly opposed to such ir-
regular methods, and TO everything OF revo-
lutionary nature.
The Advertiser, conservative, says this
morning: Fortunately the intelligence OF the
country. with few exceptions, Is law-abiding
and law-supporting, and although these few
exceptions may make themselves frequent
and audible, they cannot make Central
American circus OF Hawaii. The present gov
ernment also has the duty and responsibility
OF making such changes as shall define and
state more fully than as yet Is done, the func-
tions OF each branch OF government, including
such modification. or enlargement OF the exec

establishment OF an electoral system as Will
give to the government republican basis.

LoNe.DlsrANcE TELEPHONY.

Astonishingly Successful Experiments be-
tween New York aud Chicago-A Giant
Rival for the Bell Monopoly-An Au-
tomato system Doing Away with 'sCen-
trsl."
New YORK, Feb. 11.-Tests Of new
magnetic telephone were made between
New York and Chicago last evening in
the presence of representatives OF the
Western Telephone Construction Co.
and officials of the several telegraph
and telephone companies. Connection
was made with the Chicago long-dis-
tance line through Wall-street Off ce,
and an Office in the Monadnock block,
Chicago, at which latter point a large
number of persons interested in the
telephone situation were assembled.
The present Bell telephone and the
new magnetic telephone were used al
ternately and the results were aston
ishingly in favor of the latter. The
showed remarkable clearness in talk
ing. A number OF experts in tele-
phony who were present pronounced
the results obtained from the magnetic
instrument to be highly satisfactory
and prophecied that it would displace
the old form entirely.
The new magnetic telephone is con.
trolled by the Western Telephone Con-
struction Co., Chicago, which was
started in opposition to the Bell COM
pany year ago, and has already at
tanned giant proportions. This com.
pany is at present putting in tele-
phones in number of western cities,
including Racine, Oshkosh, Sheboygan
and Madison, Wis; Albert Lea, MINI.
Benford, Ind. and has had a telephone
exchange in operation at La Porte,
Ind, for the past year.
The exchange apparatus of the new
telephone involves new principle OF
operation, being automatic, so that the
central Office operating service is done
away with. Each telephone user, by
the touch of button automatically
connects his line with any other line
in the system without calling up Cen
tral.
The president of the new company,
Mr.. J. Il. Keelyn, has closed arrange
ments for the extensive use of these
telephones by some large telegraph
companies.

month of February-which relate to
cotton-give the estimates of produc.
ton compared with last year, the pro-

insects, average date on which picking

The following are state averages OF
comparative crop: Virginia, "a; North

sissippi, 104; Louisiana, 70; Texas, IS;
Arkansas, 94; Tennessee, 81; Missouri,
81. The general average or average for
the country is 921. The proportion Of
the crop which has been sent from the
plantations, and is, therefore, in the
hands of others than producers, as
shown by the consolidated returns OF
correspondents. is 9s.3 per cent, leav-
ing rs per cent. of the crop still un-
marketed. Correspondents Of the de-
partment assign as cause Of the un-
usually large proportion marketed that
the producers, owing to the stringency
of the times, have been compelled to
part with their holdings to pay debts
and meet necessary expenses.
The per centage by states is as fol-
follows: Virginia, s5; North Carolina,

KANSAS CRY, Mo, Feb 11.--Con-
gresham Wilson. of West Virginia,
did not speak here last night nor did
he partake Of the very handsome ban
quet provided at the Midland hotel by
local democrats. A tremendous audi
ence was disappointed in consequence.
Att o'clock last night DIR. Porter, a
local physician, positively forbade Mr..
Wilson to leave his room. His physical
condition was such. the doctor said, to
venture out would be exceedingly
dangerous.
Dir. Wilson, accompanied by his wife
and youngest daughter and Congress-
man John G. Tarsney, arrived ut the
Union depot over the Santa Fc rail-
way from Chicago at o'clock yester-
day morning. Mr.. Wilson was quite
sick. and II was against his physicians'
advice that he made the journey to
this city.
Immediately after breakfast Mr.. Will
son went to bed, where he remained
until noon. From to 8 o'clock yes
terday afternoon he held a reception
at the Coates hotel. There were many
callers.
Mr.. Wilson is enthusiastic over the
passage of his bill. He predicts that
great benefits will result from its en-
actment into law. He says every
congressional district in West Virginia
will be democratic after the next cleo
tion. The Wilson bill will pass the
senate by a comfortable majority, he
thinks. He is not so sanguinc con-
ccrning the passage of the income tax
measure. He expects considerable OPP
position to it in the senate and so
will not venture to prophecy its fate.
If enacted it will help out the
estimated deficiency in the revenue of
s76, ,OOO, 900 to be caused by the passage
Of the Wilson bill, to the extent OF $780,
O00, 900, but Mr.. Wilson does not con-
slider Its passage Indispensable, as he
claims that his bill will in a short
time supply sufficient revenue.
Mr.. Wilson will remain in the city
to-day, and will proceed on his jour.
ney--his health permitting Monday
morning. His trouble is tonsilitis,
but at present is not considered So
rious.

Alleged Depression In tho Grain and

Buylng and shipping FaciliiIes and the
Great Packing Industries Thought to
De In Part Responsible.
WASHINGTON. Feb. IL. senator
PETER, chairman OF the subcommittee
Of the committee on agriculture, which
has been Investigating the causes Of
the alleged depression in the grain
| growing and cattle-grazing states Of
| the west and northwest, has completed
his report, and as soon as it Is read and
acted upon by his colleagues Of tho
subcommittee, Messrs. Roach and
| Washburne will lay IL before the
whole committee. 1t Is voluminous
document, making upward Of 900
printed pages
Concerning this report Mr.. PETER
says; II appears that in the older
states farming lands under good man
agement have not only maintained
their fertility, but have increased in
prodnrtIvcness. Giving proper weight
| to all local and special onditionswhich
affect prices, taking the country over.
including land and farm products, a
general depreciation, amounting to
about 30 per cent, is found.
AS to the causes for the depreciation
the report specifies large number Of
cooperative agencies which have
worked together. The enlargement of
the farming area in the western states
brought new region into competition
with the older portions OF the
country, and in connection with
that our transportation system
has rapidly developed, and the cost
of carrying farm products from
west to cast has rapidly lessened; large
milling centers were established, log
ically concentrating the buying power.
Immense packing houses grew to
wonderful proportions in a few years,
and these three great agencies Of com
merce,-railrods, mills and packing
houses--operated together to reduce
prices of all articles in which they
dealt.
Any single point purchasing large
quantity of wheat, like Minneapolis,
for instance, must have the effect to
keep prices of that article on the low
est level of the market range. Beside
these causes there is the irregularity
in taxation under state laws and for
eign competition, the conditions in
India being set forth at length. The
cost of producing wheat in India is
only about thirteen cents bushel, and
since the opening of the Suez canal it
can be laid down in Liverpool for
about fifty cents. 1t is easy to see how
So large competition Of fifty cent
wheat would effect prices of American
wheat in the same market.
But the cause to which the report at
tributes the largest measure of infiu-
ence in depressing prices is the rapid
concentrations of the great moneycd
interests of the country
