HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
CORRESPONDENCE SUBMITTED TO
THE HOUSE
Concerning the Recent Attempt of the
Royalists to Overthrow the
New Government.
Special to the REcoRp-Ux1oN.

Special to the BECoRD-USIoN.
WASHINGTON, Feb. An the Haw-
allan correspondence submitted to the
House to-day Secretary Gresham states
that the department had no information
in regard to arms having been furnished
by British subjects to persons in rebell-
ion against the Government of the Haw-
allan Islands, but in a telegram from the
United States Minister at Honolulu.
dated January llth, forwarded by way of
San Francisco. Mr.. Willis says: Arms
reported to have been brought from Van
cOuver by Norma"
Following this correspondence with
Mr.. Willis there was an exchange of
notes between Secretary Gresham and
Mr.. Thurston, the Minister here, which
IS interesting, mainly because Of the in
slnuatlon by the latter that the presence
OF an American warshlp at Honolulu
would be acceptable. Mr.. Thurston
wrote on January 10Th:
Il nave the honor TO inform YOU that I
have received from my Government
telegraDhic communications stating that
the InsurrectiOn of Honolulu was broken:
that several OF the leaders and the re-
manning followers were tugitiYes in the
mountains, and that the British Com
missioner at Honolulu, Mr. Hawes. has
called upon the Government OF Hawaii
TO give HIM assurance that no capital
punishment Will be inflicted upon the in
surrectiOnists, there being fifteen Eng
uShmen under arrest, which requested
assurance the Government has refused to
give INN. y man-Ol-War at Honolulu
has recently been the subject of discus
sion in the press and elsew here 1t does
not lie within my province TO suggest
any course or action on the part OF the
United States concerning such subjects
l feel, however, that it is due our Govern
ment and the large American population
and property interests in Hawaii to say
that, although the Government of Hawaii
is and viii continue III the future, as in
the past, fully able to maintain
itself from the attacks from domes-
tic enemies, IN view of the serious
nature OF the charges now pending against
a large number OF both foreigners and
natives, and OF other complicating condi-
tions, the state of affairs at the islands is
critical, as IN the event of further insur-
rect1On or complication, although the
Government Will use every endeavor to
protect foreign citizens and their prop
erty, 1t is not Impossible that sudden
contingencies may arise or isolated acts of
violence take place against which the
Government, with its police and military
force, may temporarily be unable to
afford prOtectiOn.'
In his reply Secretary Gresham, on
January 20th, said:
ION receipt Of a dispatch from Mr..
Willis yesterday morning on the subject
Of the uprising, which was Immediately
given to the press, a warship was at once
ordered to proceed from San Francisco to
honolulu to afford needed protection to
any Americans entitled TO it. This fact
was also announced by the press Satur-

thereof, bearing interest at per cent,
and payable in coin.
The bill, as Reed explained to the Re-
publicans, whose support he sought. is
but temporary eXpedient to tide over
the present distress. The substitution OF
coin" for the gold provision of the Ad-
mlnlstratlon is expected TO win for it
liberation, if not support, of the silver
men, who bitterly oppose all propositions
to discriminate by stipulation in any bill
in favor of gold. Its comparative sim
plicity, it is expected, will commend the
bill to the House in preference to more
complex plans.
Reed devoted himself assduously
throughout the day to cloak-room con-
sultatiOns with the Republicans. He first
endeavored to elicit the opinions of the
gold men, and then tackled the silver
men. The measure of his success is diff
cult to estimate. The plan is to offer the
bill as substitute for the Administration
bill. and by polling the solid Republican
votes, while the Democrats are divided on
the Administration bill, make it the most
formidable proposition in the field, and
perhaps induce the Democratic opponents
of the Administration bill to rally to its
support.
Chairman Springer and his colleagues
have counted Oh most of the Repu bllcan
votes for the Administration, and have
prophesied that it would get about the
same support that was given to the repeal
of The purchasing clause of the Sherman
Act. Accordingly, Reeds move over
turns their calculations to great extent.

GREENHUT IS OUT,
Ousted From the Receivershfp of the
Whisky Trust.

Ousted From the Receivershfp of the
Whisky Trust.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Judge Grosscup to-
day ousted G. B. Greenhut from the re-
ceivership of the whisky trust. He al
lowed Receiver Lawrence to remain as
the representative of the directors and
appointed General John McNult re-
ceiver-in chief.
John j. Mitchell was appointed another
receiver to represent the New York
stockholders. The decision accompany-
Ing the order was long and criticised
Greenhups actions.
Judge GrossCup's decision was lengthy
and somewhat sensational After an
exhaustive review OF the case, he de-
ciared tnat the court had been imposed
upon IN the selection of President Green
hut as one Of the receivers. A receivers
duty, he said, should be the enhancing of
the value of the property which he is to
control. Admissions in court had shown
that Mr.. Greenhut was heavily short on
the stock, and that accordingly his per-
sonal interest would dictate the deprecia-
ton OF the stock rather than the enhauc-
ing of its value. By admissions of coun-
sci, the court said II was shown that the
property interest in the original applica-
ton for receiver for the company was
very small. 1t was also shown that
neither the President nor Directors had
any substantial interest in the company.
The evidence showed, Judge GrOsscup
sald, that vast portion of the stock was
held by New York stock brokers for spec
ulatlVe purposes. He could not exactly
approve OF calling in a United States
court as referee, Out as it was evident
that referee was needed, and as he had
been appealed to, he would act. He again
denounced the selection of President
Greenhut as receiver as an imposition on
the court, and closed with the curt state
ment: That for these and other sutfici-
ent reasons Mr. Greenhut is removed
from the receivership.n

YOLO TRAIN TRAGEDY.

Charges Against Knox, Mullin and
Compton Dismissed.
WOODLAND, Feb. 4.-When the cases of
Knox, Mullin and Compton, the Media
ton Committee of the strikers, was called
this morning, District Attorney Hopkins
said lie had consulted many heavy tax
payers, and all of them had advised him,
in view Of the lmprobabiIity of securing
a conviction, to dismiss the cases.
Judge Grant said that when juries re-
fused to convict upon the testimony of
three cye-witnesses, it was not probable
that they would convict where the testi-
mony only tended to connect the defend
ants with the actual perpetrators of the
crime.
Judge Armstrong thought that if the
jury had been put in charge of the Sheriff
different verdict might have been
reached, but the court thought that the
result would have been the same had the
jury been in charge of the Almighty.
In accordance with the motion Of the
District Attorney the defendants were
discharged.

SURPLUS REVENUES.

Treasury Officials say They VIII be
Greater Than CarIisle's Estimate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Treasury Off
cials generally express the opinion that
Secretary Carlisle's estimate Of a surplus
Of 81, 100000 for the calendar year is con-
servative. 1t is urged that the customs
duties on sugar alone should bring in
at least $50, 100000 during the next eleven
months, and that the revenue from the
income tax is likely to reach $4,000
900. The receipts from general customs
and from whisky Withdrawals are ex-
pected to materially increase from now
on, which it is believed will bring the re-
ceipts for the twelve months up 10 about
$3.50, 900, 900. The disbursements for the
year, IL Is thought, will not exceed S35l,-
100000, leaving a surplus, after deducting
the S7,C00,OUO deficit for January, OF 3d.
100000 The Internal Revenue officials,
on figuring on the receipts from income
taxation, estimate that the returns prior
to July Ist Will amount to Sl0,0U0,0OO, and
for the remaining six months $50, 600, 900.

SEPARATE COACH LAW.
The Louisville and Nashville Road
Fined One Cent and Costs.

The Louisville aud Nashville Road
ffned One Cent and Costs.
OwENsBoRo (Ky.), Feb. 4.-Under per-
empIory instructions from Judge Barr
to-day the jury in the Federal Court
found a verdict for one cent and costs
against the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company in the separate coach case.
The suit was brought by Rev. W. II.
Anderson, colored, of Evansville, Ind.
for $4,000, but was really to test the
coach law of Kentucky. Judge Barr de-
cIded last summer that the law was un-
constitutional because it affected inter
state commerce. The railroad company
then contended that it had a rule reouir-
ing separation Of white and colored pas
sengers aside from the law mentioned.
and asserted that the rule was reason
able one. Upon this the issue was Joined
and the verdict rendered. Judge Barr's
instructions left the jury only to de-
termlne the amount of damages. I'm
mediately upon the verdict the attorneys
for the railroad gave notice OF an appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United
States.

following explanation OF the Chinese
peace Commissioners:
AT the meeting Of the pIenipoten-
tlarles OF the Japanese and Chinese on
the 22d, Count Ito, in an address to the
Chlnese plenipOtentiaries pointed out to
them the Effectiveness and insuflicieucy
OF their powers. He gave them positive
assurances, however, that whenever
China manifested a serious desire for
peace by cOntiding actual and full powers
to Chinese officials of such nature and
scope as would render it certain that
the terms which might be agreed upon
would be confirmed by the Chinese
Government, and would actually be car
rIed out in good faith, Japan would be
prepared to enter upon new negOtia-

Il Custom That Is Growing in Favor
in the Metropolis.
The custom of holding funeral services
at night is, according to an undertaken.
growing steadily i'll this city, says the
New \ Ork Sun. It's growth dates from
about five years ago. There were night
funerals in New York before that, but
they were comparatively few The
growth OF the custom is due TO several
causes: The night funeral is less expeu-
slve, and 1t meets the convenience OF
much greater number of friends of the
dead; with the increase OF societies and
their growth in membership, the loss of
a day or hall a day in attendance at the
funeral of a member has come to be
serious tax, and in this respect the night
funeral makes saving of time. In line
with the economy OF time is a decided
change, within five or six years, in the
custom with regard to pall-bearers.
There are now perhaps twenty funerals
without pall-bearers to one with them.
Some OF the night funerals are held at
home, some at church. II at church, the
body is taken, after the services, TO the
undertaker's, and there kept until the
burial. If at the house, the body may be
taken to the undertaker's or it may re-
main in the house over night. The morn
ing service, prayer by the clergyman,
would be attended by only the immediate
members of the family, who would take
leave Of the dead alone. The intermenU
would be without further service at the
cemetery.
The number Of funeral services held at
undertakers' is also increasing. No
charge is made for the use of the shop for
this purpose. 1t is some respects more
economical than a funeral at home or
church, and with larger space than in a
house, it brings all attending together
instead of separating them in various
