The Latest From Hawaii.

The sensational story comes that
Admiral Beardslee, commanding the
Philadelphia, has declared a protecto-
rate at Honolulu. If that is true
things must have taken an unexpected
turn at the islands.
The rebellion was promptly put
down, the ex-queen was arrested.
many of the details of the conspiracy
were brought to light, several of the
leaders were locked up, the trials of
he accused were in progress, and the
queens formal remuneration of row.

republic had been handed in: these
were the facts received up TO the time
when the story of the protectorate

The war was over, as far as hostili-
ties are concerned, before Admiral
Beardslee reached Honolulu. MANY
Americans there speak in a disgrun-
tied way of the failure Of the United
States to assure ample protection to

THE BEST IN THE NORTHWEST
MONDAY. FEBRUARY II. 1895.
The Law About Gambling.

The signs seem TO be that, as far as
Montana is concerned, open gam bling
Will have 10 go. The new code, in its
original shape, included sections pro-
hibiting all gambling. These were
stricken out before the code was pro-
ceeded with, the understanding being
that some action relating to gImb ing
would follow in the form ofan amend
ment.
There is in the house a bill which
proposes TO exclude gambling from
main floors of all buildings, COM
polling the business TO seek upper
stories. This bill appears to have
next to no support, and, indeed, there
is little merit In it. Probably it will
fall far short of m Ijority in the
house, if 1t ever reaches a vote.
The opinion is abroad that the old
law respecting licensed gambling may
be left in operation. As we get il.
however, there is strong probability
that tie question will be taken up and
vigorously dealt with Trustworthy
information is TO the effect that very
large majority in both houses is pre-
pared TO pass bill putting a complete
prohibition on gambling houses. If
this forecast is right we may expect to
see the anti-gambling section that is a
part of the code as it came from The
commissioners restored TO its place.
Ii the question is squarey pre-
scented, the supporters of open gam
bling will probably find it no easy
task TO get advocates in either house
at Helena. The proposition that there
Will be gambling anyhow and the best
way Is to license it, can hardly be
made to stick. The suggestion that
the change involves large loss of
revenue to the state may be pressed,
but 1t will undoubtedly receive a COM
prehenslve answer. And the signs
are that the legislature will act

innocent appearance, but after-considera-

extravaganza at the present time, and we

maintain that land could be secured at

some future date, but that assumption is
not capable of proof. In any event, the

would also affect the value of state lands

meantime the citizens of Montana could
be saved from any embarrassment Likely
to result from taking hasty action in the |

Chief Leyden captured her a few min

IN the sweat box the girl not only told all
about the robbery, but gave up the $50
which had been passed to her by Lulu.
Lulu was locked up on a charge of grand
larceny, which ii is believed can be very
easily established.
Tue Palace is run by two notorious, all
around slre-thlng men, Pete Hanson and
Nell McGinnis, who have been running
along in open defiance of the law and
stealing everything in sight. Chief Leyden
has sure case against them this time and

well for the council to look into the case
and revoke the license of the thieving
