THE MONARCHY.
YIN.
Outlook in Hawaii Said TO BE
GLOOMY for the Republic.

San Francisco special: An evening pa
per prints the following:
Private letters received from Honolulu
by the steamer Australia declare that a
change of administration Will soon occur
there and that the change is advocated by
no less an important parsonage than eX-
Minister ThurstOn. According to the let
tiers received here all that is preserving
the present Government is the fact that 1t
possesses the arms TO quell another out
break and is eXcrting its efforts to prevent
the landing of contraband arms. AT a re-
cent conference between Mr.. Thurston and
| President Dole and other members of his
Cabinet The former declared that the only
hope of permanent peace on the lslands
will be realized in placing Princess kalu-
lani in the position which the former mon
archy proposed that she should some day
have. Mr.. Thurston is reported to have
advocated this step so strongly that Presi-
dent Dole and his Cabinet became alarmed
and have since given the matter many
hours of consideration.
Passengers on the Australia have con-
fided the fact tina the Republic is on IFS
last legs. Various big organizations are
breaking away from President Dole, and
tie opposing forces, which are somewhat
subducl after the recent uprising by the
show Of arms made by the Government are
now becoming more bold.
IAN alarm is likely to be sounded any
night remarked one passenger, and if it
is You can expect to hear of the downfall
of the republic. The people are dissatis-
fed, particularly the Americans. who, i!
aroused, will find at their side all the as
siStancc they need to effect a complete
change in the Government"

the victims of the explosion Of the boiler
in the mill. Five were dead and two 9TH
els have since died.
The mill was run by steam generated in
an old eight horse power boiler, which, it
is reported. had been condemned by an
inspector a few days before because the
steam guage failed to record accurately
the amount Of steam pressure.
Thirteen men were employed in the
mill. They were busy at work when a
belt broke, shutting down operations.
While it was being repaired nobody paid
any attention to the boiler. which was
making steam at a prodigiouS rate, foi d
hot fire had been kindled under it. Sud
denly there came a boom a, of a cannon.
followed by a cloud of steam, dust and
smoke which rose high III the air. -Four of
the victims were torn limb from limb and
their remains scattered about the mill and
the immediate vicinity. The mill was al
most entirely demolished, Parts Of the

Victims were horribly manglcd, having
their heads crushed toa Jelly and being

CROPS OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
Frost Did Less Damage Than in Other
States.

Crop conditions for the week as indicat-
ed by reports from forty or more South
Dakota counties sent To the United States
Weather Bureau at Huron. indicate crops
in good condition and making fair pro-
gresS:
Good to fairly heavy showers occurred
during the week over the southern coun-
ties and The Black Hills region; elsewhere
the rains We're mostly light. a few locali-
ties report rain needed.
All vegetation made rapid advancement
during the warn days, but the growth was
checked by the subsequent cool weather
and frosts.
Gardens. fruits, potatoes n flax were
considerably cut by frost in many local. =
ties and some correspondents report that
a few pieces Of early sown fax will prob
ably have to be reSown.
Potatoes were frozen to the ground in
many instances, but this crop is not far
enough advanced for more serious results
than a temporary set back to follow. AS
much of the flax was recently Sown and
considerable yet TO be put in the ground,
the loss to this crop will probably not be
serious. 1t is thought that permanent in
jury will result only to fruits, but not
generally, as 1t appears that where affect
ed the damage was not complete. Gardens
were destroyed locally, and there is yet
time to replant.
The cereals, it appears, wcrcibut slightly
affected as well, and Will doubtless sOon
recover. Cora will probably be set back
some, but wheat and oats will be benefited,
as fears We're already being expressed that
these crops were making too rapid and
rank growth and the warm weather pre-
vented stooling.
The frost was beneficial in checking the
growth of Russian thistleS which were
gaining Roadway and becoming threaten
ing to wheat and oats. In many localities
they yielded to the frost as readily as yege-
tables, while in others they were not much
Affected.

stroyed or greatly damaged, and about
1000 people thrown out of employment.
The estimated damage is $4,000. Sixty

PAST WEEK IN TRADE.
The Demand for Manufactured Prod :
UctS increases,

UctS increases.
New York special: X. G.. Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade will say:
The severe cold snap, with extensive
frosts and in some states snow. has for
~tunatcly done little damage to the great
crops, though much to fruit, but has con
siderably retarded the retail trade. The
best news of the week is the advance of 10
per cent. in wage By the Carnegie works.
followed by the Jones d Laughlin estab-
lishmentS, and evidently implying a SINH
lar advance by many other concerns. The
Illinois Steel Company is starting its fur
naces without granting the demands of
employees. No advance has been found
practicable in WOODEN mills. where condi-
tons as to prices and foreign competition
are very different. and about 10000 work.
ers are still idle at Olneyville, where the
works should consume 100000 pounds per
week. In other departments of labor
troubles are not serious, and the demand
for Manufactured products increases.
With material and steady encourage
ment in domestic trade. there is still great
want of employment in the interior for
money which comes hither, So 100000 dur
ing the past week. and with the millions
distributed by the syndicate on bond ac-

WHEAT 20 CET\S.
Price Gets SO High That Shipments
Arc Made from Chicago.

Kansas City special: Wheat sold in
Kansas City at 20 cents a bushcl, an al
vance of nearly 30 cents from the extreme
low price of last fall. So scarce has wheat
become in the southwest. and so high have
prices become that wheat was bought in
Chicago for shipment to this city. y
special rate of 81 cents a hundred weight
has been made for the purpose and ii is
expected that d good deal of wheat will be
brought here from Chicago. The wheat
supply east and west has become
almost wholly exhausted and crop
prospects are so poor that the few
who possess wheat are disposed TO hold it.
There are about 100000 bushels in Kansas
City elevators. but very little of it is for
sale at any price. Chicago has over 20
100000 bushels in store and the mills all
over the central west and southwest have
been compelled TO 20 to that city for sup
plies--doubllcsS bringing back in some
eases the very wheat which was shipped TO
Chicago from their own localities last fall
when wheat was cheap. The possibility
of shipping from Chicago to Kansas City
has been talked of for some time past. Ii
has now become an actual occurrence and
it is a thing which never happened before
since Kansas began to raise wheat for the
west.

shelter. They placed a buoy at the spot
and were to have left the next morning to
continue their work, but owing to the bad
weather and the warning from the weather
bureau they did not venture out. The
tugs are from St. Joseph and Benton IIar.

TREATY MAY BE ABROG ATEiD,
Great Britain Refuses &c Hc-Enact
Sealing Regulations.

Washington special: An ugly crisis has
been reached in the negotiations between
the United States and Great Britain look
ing to the adoption of uniform regulations
for the government of seal fishing this sea-
SON.. The British Government positively
refuses to rc-cnac the regulations OF last
year. which prohibit the carrying OF fire
arms by sealing vessels through the zone
north of the 35th parallel during the closed
season. The United States officials look
upon this as disastrous to the seal fisher
les, holding that the result will
be to relieve the pelagic seal
ers of the only restrictions which
has operated to prevent an unlimited
slaughter. While killing by firearms re-
mains illegal. it is realized that it will be
impossible to enforce this prohibition il
arms can be freely carried, for scalers
would Kill seals unless they should happen
to be under the very eye of a revenue cut
tcr. Meanwhile United States cutters have
gone out under the old instructions to
seize all vessels carrying arms not under
seal. These must be modified speedily by
orders sent through the Alaska CONNER
cial Company'S steamer. which leaves San
Francisco in a day or two. or else there
may be another big claim for damages on
account of illegal seizures filed by tho
British Government.
