country. This stock was disposed of at
auction, cut rates or any other way to
get rid of it on a cash basis. Most of their
notes fell due August Ist and they still
had about $40, 900 worth of stock. They
asked for and received loan of $1,000
from Bloomingdale Bros. of this city,
and gave a chattel mortgage for so. 900 to
cover this loan. Since then they have
not been seen.

performing their duty to the dead. On
every side appeared the grim emblems OF
death, and in the place the OF excitement
succeeding the accident had come feel
ing of loneliness, deep, overpowering
and depressing. The miners realized
that their ''butties" were no more, and

last farewell almost distracted the
widowed and the fatherless.
All the victims are now in their last
resting place. except three at Franklin
and three in this city. OF these, two will
be buried here tomorrow, and the ar
rangements for the funerals of the others
are completed.
The Coroner's jury investigating the
disaster has rendered a verdict finding
that the fire was started by parties un-

maliciously desired to do great injury and

So far as the United States are now

under President Dole and his associates.
That government negotiated treaty Of
annexation with our government under
President Harrison. The treaty was
pending 10 the Senate when Mr.. Cleveland
came into Office. He Withdrew it from
the Senate before it had been acted upon,
and he informed the Hawaiian govern
ment that annexation was rejected by the
United States. This should have ended
the Hawaiian question, so far as Mr.
Cleveland was concerned. His subse-
quent disposition to concern himself with
the internal affairs of Hawaii appears IT.

for annexation leaves the Hawaiian Cow
crnment perfectly free, unless we use
or threaten force to restrain that freedom,
Ito enter into especial relations with the
British or any other government. The
spirit shown by the Hawaiian authorities
is wholly commemorate. They have an,
nounced their purpose TO resist hostile
attempts to dispossess them. Mr.. Thurs

waiian government at Washington, re.
turned to Honolulu in the middle of De-

In all candor let us say that the with.

Dole aud restoration of Liliuokalani, in
