THE HONOLULU SITUATION.
Not Believed the New Conspiracy Will
Be Serious.
Hoped the q. S. S. Bennington viii Soon
Arrive to Protect American Interests in
Tr5y

San Francisco, November 27.-A Honolulu
letter dated November 90, says the govern
ment possesses evidence to prove that the
new alleged conspiracy to restore the queen
is, somewhat formidable, but not enough to
justify arrests, and no danger of any actual
attempt is now apprehended. 1t is not be-
lieved possible that any hostile expedition
can or will be procured at San Francisco to
aid the Royalist. Any such force from
abroad 10 doubt would be summariiy dealt
with by the American warship in port.
What the British man-of-war Hyacinth
would do is not clear. 1t is believed that
she is detained from her intended cruise to
the South Pacific by apprehension OF
trouble here. The United States ship York.
town arrived yesterday in less than eight
days from San Francisco. She is expected
to sail for Korea the 22nd. 1t is hoped that
the Bennington may arrive soon to protect
American interests should any trouble
arise.
President Dole received the British and
French commissioners who presented reoog-
nitions of this republic by their respective
governments and received their exeouaturs.

zens of Eliot, Me-. was badly and .proba-

freight shed and car standing on the
track, and threw Mr.. Frost headlong
from the wagon. The unfortunate man
struck on his head and fractured his
skull. When picked up he was supposed
to be in dying condition. Mr.. Frost is
a man about 60 years of age, and was a

Vienna. November 25.-Prinoe Win disch-

day that the conferences on electoral re-
form with delegates of coalition parties had
been without result He said if the COM

by coalition, the government would ac-

the fundamental Austrian principle Of
division of elec tors into social strata. Uni-

The newspapers have not as yet men
toned it, possibly because every effort
has been made to, keep the matter Sc
cret; but the time has now arrived for
publicity. For few days past there
has been serious trouble brewing at
LARA bees corner, and it was evident
enough from the cries issuing from the
building thereon that someone was
being ill-treated. An investigation
was ordered by the proper authorities.
and from them we learn that the Dress
Goods Department attempted to resist
price cutting, and made such square
fight that it was necessary to apply the
knife to each and every individual
piece, hence the noise. Read the fol-
lowing and judge whether there were
good grounds for resistance:

WESTERN UNION LOSERS.
A Fire at the Boston Office Last
Night.
Communication Cut off from all Direction
1t Will be Work of Days to Repair
the Damage-Communicat with this
City Made by Postal Union.


Boston, November 27.-Fire occurred at
the Western Union Telegraph company's
main office on State street tonight ana
caused complete suspension of business,
although the pecuniary loss to the company
will be comparatively small. 1t was about
10. 20 p. M, when Wire Chief Clinch, who
was on the third floor. happened to notice
the reflection of light on the building in the
rear of the Western Union office, and open
ing a window he proceeded to climb the
riekety iron FIRE escape to investigate.
!. When he reached the edge of thesroof it
needed but glance to tell him that the
large cupola through which three hundred
or more wires enter the building, and the
huge cross arms close by were burning
fercely, Hurrylng down stairs he gave the
alarm to members of the night force at
work in the operating room, some thirty or
more. in number. In short order every
man found his way to the street. Although
the exit was hurriedly made there was no
semblance of a panic.
Meanwhile the bell alarm sounded and the
engines were soon at work and for the time
the fire lighted the heavens in threatening
manner and many believed the building was
doomed. The firsmen kept the flames con-
fined to the cupola and roof. although the
rest of the building was literally wet down.
1t is the belief that the hEe was due to the
| crossing of the telegraphic line with the
| electric light wire. All messages upon tho
hooks that had not been sent. were gathered
| together and were unharmed. Communities
| tion in all directions was abruptly cut of
and it will be many hours, probably days
before everything is in complete working
| order, causing no end of trouble and incon-
venisnoe. The damage on the building is
| S32, 900; the loss TO the telegraph company is
difficult to estimate. The press depatches
we're forwarded over the Postal Union
wire.

Capacity for Leaving Work Undone.

Tie record of the Augusta Democracy
for the past municipal year and " hich car :
not be di.proven, affords as the chef cree it
for the administration a capacity for leav-
ing work undore. While it assessed q
lower tax it coulI not I've within it.
1t has been proved beyond doubt, prove d
ty the figures in their own au litor's rep IT
that the monthly expenses of this sd
ministration exceeded those of the
previous one. Capacity for leaving work
undone is not a proud record to put NJ
alongside that of the Republicans in which
we find necessary improvements made, made
with view to permanency and not politics,
made just as cheapiy as it was possible to
make them. The Democrats have be, n
unable in their years experience to
demonstrate that one dollar of the city 5
money was 50 fquandered by the PIE
vious administration.

The New Age derives great comfort from
the fact that the fill on the Gage street ex-
tension was don, under Democratic
mayor, who assumed the stree. commission
er's dates, and cost Sl24a 10, when as it
claims the estimated expense was $4,000. We
don't know who made that estimate, neitht r
do we care. We do know that the county
commissioners estimated the cost at less than
what it was even under the mayors per
sonal supervision" 1t was with kindly in
tentiors no doubt that he personally super
vised it, but it wa, the duty Of the city gov
eminent to have appointed a street COM
missioner with ability and disposition to do
this work. But just wherein the Demo-
cratic administration can justly take to
themselves any credit fer the Gage street
fill, is difficult 10 see. 1t is generally un-
derstood that to make tbs fill was one Of the
Democrats campaign promises but which
they manifestly did otintend to keep as they
performed the work only because they we're
