HAWAII READY TO FIGHT.

Flag at Short Notice.

Flag at Short Notice.
OMAHA. Jan, 1S.-The Hawaiian minis.
ter at Washington, Lorin A. Thurston,
went through Omaha this evening en-
route to Washington. To an associated
press reporter Minister Thurston said:
"The members of the government are not
alarmed at the threats of Liliuoka lani. as
she is powerless and her talk is treated as
the utterance Of an angry weman. Her
threats, however, lost her the allegiance
of many loyal men, who denounce
the queen for rejecting the PROPOSE
ton 10 grant amnesty in case she
was restored. She cannot be restored ex-
cept by force. and there is little proba bill
ity Of that. The talk of her securing an
army in Canada is treated as a good joke.

tablished. The present government is
amply able to take care of the state. |
don't anticipate any trouble with the
United States. The annexation question
is lost sight Of in the restoration policy,
but il will come up again. In the Islands
the feeling is as strong as ever in favor of
annexation. In fact, among the natives
IL ~ W W
20 resume my official position"
William Waterhousc, of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, a brother of Henry Waterhouse of
the provisional government. who returned
from Honolulu with Minister Thurston,
talked freely on the situation in the
islands at the time OF his departure. and
according to Waterhouse, the spirit OF the
provisional government is one OF defiance
to the United States in particular and all
governments in general. He says all ar
rangemcnts had been made TO fire on the
American flag. 1.-The greatest excitement
prevailed in Honolulu" said Waterhouse,
"when tho Corwin arrived, and it
seemed as if revolution would
be undertaken. The provisional gov
ernment was ready TO resist by force
and there is no question but there would
have been q conflict IL any attempt had
been made to land the marines. The an
imosity is not confined 10 the United
States government. but extends to any
government that expects to undertake the
restoration. Dole is fixed TO fight TO a
finish for what he now holds. Minister
Willis has not been given his papers, but
the impression in the islands is that he
will ask for them soon. He is ostraeised
and generally disliked, the sentiment
among the white inhabitants amounting
almost to a boycott. His wife is included
in tie feeling BY the ladies of the
island. This action is explained on the
ground that when Blount was In the
islands he invited Secretary Phillips TO
his horne. and then asked him questions
and made use Of his answers. 1t is not
intended that persons in honolulu shall
again be subjected to that sort of thing on
tile part of any American connected with
the Cleveland administration . further
says that II any attempt had been made
TO restore the queen she would have been
Assassinated. This fate,' he said,
awaits her and she knows it, thought it
is not given official recognition"

IN THE SENATE.
Waithsli's Resignation Takes Everybody
Completely by Surprise.


Completely by Surprise.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The most sig.
nifcant event In the senate to-day was the
announcement of the resignation Of Sena-
tor Walthall Of Mississippi. II was totally
unexpected, and when there was laid be-
fore the senate the letter Of the senator
announcing that he had forwarded his
resignation TO the governor Of Mississippi.
the greatest surprise was expressed on all
sides. WalIhall is 63 years old and sue
ceeded the late L. Q. c. Lamar In the sem
ate nine years ago. His retirement causes
general regret among his colleagues, as
Walthall was very popular.
The legislative session was short but
gave opportunity for the introduction of
two resolutions from the populls, senators
condemning the bond policy Of the admin
istration and. later in the day, In the dis
cussion OF the Stark monument appropri-
alton. which passed by vote of 81 to u.
Morgan and Daniel took occasion TO ex-
press their disapproval of the proposed
bond Issue. The remarks OF Vest on the
election bill were entertaining and In his
usual pointed style, This law, said be.
was based on the assumption that the on
cials of the United States are better than
the people of the country-an assumption
that when you take citizen of state
and clothe HIM in federal uniform and
authority he becomes q better and more
intelligent man. Public sentiment is such
that state legislation cannot be enforced.
The same idea will apply TO legislation
coming from the national government.
At the conclusion of Vests remarks the
senate went into executive session and .
few minutes later adjourned till Mon
day
