Application to Set Aside the
Supreme Courts Order.

Mrs. Mary 3. Lease, at her room at the
National today. devoted her entire time
to answering her accumulated CORES
pondence Of several days. She had re-
ceIved letters commencing her course in
refusing to be put off the board Of char
ities from members Of her party all over
the state, and it is known that she has
also received letters from persons who
have been solicited to write letters APP
proving the course Of the governor in
removing her
It was today learned that Governor
Leweling has written personal letters to
men holding appointments under him,
asking them to write him a personal let
ter commencing his action in removing
Mrs. Lease. The governor has not only
written letters of this character. but AS
Aistant Secretary Of State ID. G. Zercher
has written letters To well known POpu-
lists asking them to write to the gov
eanor commenting his course ia the re-
moval of Mrs Lease.
AIrs. Lease does not seem to be in the
least annoyed by the attempt Of the gov
eru0r and MIR. j. VT. Freeborn to set aside
the Injunction Of tile supreme court by
which she holds on TO her Office
II was almost o'clock last evening
when an application was made to the
supreme court asking that this order be
set aside on the grounds
First-That the chief justice had no
jurisdiction or authority TO make said
order
Seeond-Tbat even if said chief Justice
had the power to grant the same, said
order was improvidently and unlaWfully
made
The court set the hearing of this Eeti
ton for Saturday morning, January 13,
at @ o'clock al m.
This action on the part Of the governor
and his legal associates was taken as a
last resort after Mrs. Lease had refused
to make peace. 1t is said
that the governor offered to re-
insfate Mrs Lease as member
of the state board of charities If she
would allow him to have a voice in the
management of the boards shis Mrs.
Lease absolute refused to do and after

A STATE SECRET.
Gresham Won't Tell the News
the Corwin Brought.
The Only Secret He Has Had
From Newspaper Men.
HE'S PROUD OF IT
Means to Hold On to Tt as Long
as Possible.
Resolution in the House Asking
for the News.
HE'S PROUD OF IT

WASHINGTON, an. 6-Creat reticence
is shown in government circles concern
ing the advices from Honolulu received
By the Corwin
The emphatic increduIity expressed
by the state department yesterday has
changed by the receipt of a cipher dis
patch which came by the Corwin, as it
fully confirmed the news received by the
Associated Press.
II seems that the queen has reconsid-
cred her objections to accede TO the con-
ditions exacted and that minister willis
has proceeded on the line of his original
Instructions, notifying the provisional
government that they are expected to re-
tire in order to allow the restoration 0f
the queen.
Nothing can be learned as to the ex-
tent Of the disturbance caused by this
action. but that there is a condition Of
tension and great excitement in Honolulu
IS certain.
1t became generally known that the
Associated Press and Auckland cable was
correct, though some members were re-
luctant to admit and still expressed some
doubt.
Mr.. Hit, Of Illinois, was evidently one
0fthose who did not doubt the authenticity
of the Auckland cable. NThey viii give
out nothing at the state department" he
said. s'At hat we want u know is what
has been done, wnat is the result of the
demands by Minister Willis on the pro
visional government"
on the basis Of a special cable from
Auckland Nit. Hit Introduced the fol
lowing in the house this morning.
''Resolved That the president be re-
quested to communicate to the house Of
rel Lresentatives, if not Inconsistent with
the public interests, All information re-
eeived since his message of December
1S. 1898, or not transmitted herewith and
now in his possession touching recent
reported events in the Hawaiian islands;

government thereof ana erect monar-
chy in its stead, aud especially whether

Actress Madeline Pollard.

After all the sympathy given Miss
Pollard by the public, the announce
mcnt that she will go on the stage as
a star is disappointment. Despite
her wrong doing she had the well
wishes Of those who applaudcd the
verdict of the jury in the celebrated
base.
But now that she proposes to
make merchandise ont of the unhap-
py notoricty she gained, besides join
inc the ranks of those who degrade
the stage, she will lose the sympa-
thy and fail in her new calling. The
field of histrionic endeavor is indeed
open to all who would enter it, as
should be the rule with all profes
sions and calling to all who aim hon
estly to master them and build them
selves up by honest toll.
But there is difference between
the honest and patient worker, and
the heorinc of divorce court, OF
breach of promise suit. A profess
sion made strong by such men as
George Holland, Joseph Jefferson
and Booth, and such women as
Janauschek, Charlotte Cushman and
Mrs. Dew has no legitimate place for
Miss Madeline Pollard now. She has
right to sell her notoriety to those 81,
who 60 to the theatre, but they will
90 from curiosity to see the woman
who sued Breckenridge, not to see a
fine actress.
Fortunately for morality this mis-
use of the stage has grown so com
mon in recent years that the public
has wearied of it. Miss Pollard's
venture will, therefore, be a failure.
