H0yalCG.c March l3. isoi. via San
Frsncisco. April Within the past week
there beg BEEN material change in the
pcilsiraI condition OF the islands. Briefly
il mag De sHni,.ed up by saying that the
natives are n0gy coming out fc- annexa-
ton Had the itives been left to :heir
Own dey.css there never woaid haxe been
any serious opposition to the annexation
Of Hawaii to th- United States
Tne advocates Of royalty have come to
the conclusion that all hopes of restora-
tioa are passe.! anl that il is polite for
them 70 acquiesce with good grace 1t ia
snid that L!iuokalani has been adyis ID
OF the fact that her restoration is i'm
possible and that she will advocate an.
neSation Of the Islands to the United
States in o-drr to receive some form Of
bounty. Il will be remembered that
under the treaty presented by the com
missioners TO President Harrison, Liiigo-
kalani was 10 receive s20,0O0 a year in lien
Of her resignation Of all right to the
tkgone. l. Is in order 10 secure this
indemnity that
TIE Ex-nuccn Favors Annexation.
A petition will soon be prepared and
sent 10 President Cleveland advocating
the annexatioa of the Hawaiian Islands
10 the United States, providing q sum to
be mutually agreed upon shall be settled
npon Liiiuoka!an during her lifetime.
This petition will be signed by leading
natives. mem bers of the cabinet and MEM
bers Of the native societies. It has even
been stated that Liliuoknlani will send a
trusted agent to Washington TO lay the
matter before the president. g.
Unless some arrangement such as this
IA made the ex-queen will soon be in
Strengthened circumstances. 1t is we'll
known that Liliuokalini q short time ago
found it necessary to place heavy mort
gage on nearly all of her property. The
provisional government remains firm in
the belief that it is acting for the best in
terests of the people and without the
least fear of being overturned. It is the
intention OF the government to proceed
towards the formation OF u Republican
and
Stable Form Of Government,
as evidenced by the bill lately introduced
into the council calling for a constitn.
tioual convention. If it became necessary
to wait for annexation till government
more favorable to that eud shall control
the destinies OF the United States the
present government can take care OF
itself until that period does arrive.
The bill creating a constitutional con-
ventou will receive its second and final
reading Mt the next Thursdays meeting
of the councils. There will be no delay of
any nature toward carrying out the re
ouircmeuts of the measure. and as soon
ns possible action toward nominating and
voting for delegates and calling the con
ventiou to order will be taken 1t is the
purpose Of the government to emerge
from the provisional state and take on a
permanent form without delay.
The provisional government inclines to
the belief that annexation IL likely to
occur under the Cleveland administration
provided the proper conditions can be
bgought about. and it is hoped. with some
degree of success that the petition Of the
natives for annexation will aid the gov
crument.

HE CUT HIS THROAT.
An Expressman's Periodic Spree
Ends in Suicide.
FOUND DEAD IN HIS STABLE.
John j. Hannah Takes His Life with a
Knife. and IL Keand by His Wife
The Probable Cause.

John J. Hannah. an expressman. CON-
mitted suicide late Thursday night or
early yesterday morning, IN the stable at
the rear of his residence. at 723 Tenth
street. BY cutting his throat with n pocket
knife. He had been drinking heavily for
two or three days, and this. taken into
consideration with the fact that be was
thrown violently from his team last sum-
mer. accounts for his strange act
Hannah sold q team of horses last Mon
day, and after purchasing . new wagon.
started on q spree with the emainder of
the money. He appeared at home only for
few minutes at different times, so Mrs.
Hannah had to take care of the horses.
When she went cut 10 the barn yesterday
morning to feed tina horses, she saw her
husband lying in stall. Ii was quite
dark. and she supposed be was asleep. He
did not answer her calls, however, and
she. becoming alarmed, ran out and called
Max Cohn, the engineer at Coppin's water
works, for assistance. When the light of
a lamp was thrown on the body in the
stall II was seen thai bloody suicide had
taken place. Hannah's neck had been
cut in two places. but only one of the
wounds amounted 10 anything. This one
had severed the windpipe
Coroner Horton was called, and. after
investigating the case, decided that an
inquest was unnecessary. Mrs. Hannah
said that she was unable TO account for her
husbands act unless IL was remorse for
drinking. He was always respondent
after spree, and felt ashamed of himself
From financial point of view there was
oureason for suicide. and the same was
true ~ regards domestic affairs. The
body was removed to Bonney & Stewards,
where IL will be held awaiting the arrival
of DAVID Hannah. . brother, from Viola,
Wash.
The dead man was q native of Chicago,
and aged about 80 years. He had lived in
this city several years and bore an ex-
ceiient reputation. For two years he
worked for the Bennett & Hull Furniture
Company. and with his savings purchased
q team with which he went into the ex-
press business. He leaves wife and two
children. Last summer. while he was
driving along McClaire street, in the Walla
WaIia addition, his team ran away and he
was thrown violently TO the giound. strik-
ing on his head 1t is probable that this
had something to do with the suicide.
This ran Is not the Hannah that was
arrested for burglary.
Evidence that Hannah contemplated
suicide came to light last evening. when il
il was learned that Mrs. Hannah received
by mail yesterday afternoon some bills
and documents pertaining TO business that
Hannah had sent her
