 T. Sanford B. Dole, president of the Republic of Hawaiian Islands, moved by just causes made known to me and being thereto advised by the cabinet and council of state do hereby, in ac- cordance with power in me vested, grant unto Liliuokalani, who was found guilty of the crime of misprison of treason by military commission duly convened and sentenced to imprison- ment at hard labor for a term of five years to date from the ninth day of February A. D., 1895, and to pay a fine of $5000, which sentence was subse- quently modified, a full and free pardon and restoration to her civil rights.
 In witness hereof. I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the republic of Hawaii to be affixed at the executive building, Honolulu, this 23d day of October, A. D., 1S96'' This document was signed by the prisoner and the four minister's Major Potter said:
 Tt gives me, madam, very great pleasure to hand you this paper"
 Biliukalani took the paper and read it carefully. She tl.en returned it to Ma jor Potter with a smile, saying, "It gives me very great pleasure, indeed, to receive this.''
 Major Potter then retired.

Rain Interferes With the Laying of Corner Stone of Mt, Holyoke's New Building.

South Hadley, Mass, Nov. 5.-The rain interefered with the laying of the cornerstone of the new Mary Brigham Hall at Mount Holyoke college to-day, but the exercises were held in connec- tion with the observance of founders day in the Congregational church.

The alumnac address was given by Mrs. Moses Smith of Chicago. The ad- dress in connection with the corner stone laying was by Mrs. Edwin At well '79. of New York. Several tele- grams were read from alumnae asso- ci4tions and lumber of pledges were given for assistance in the time of need.

KEN TUCKY.

Louisville. Ky, Nov. G., 1 a. m.- CourierJournal reports show McI<in- ley's plurality in Kentucky, 456
 Louisville, Nov. 5.-Secretary Rich ardson, of the silver democratic com mittee, declines to give out any infor- nation in the possession of his com mittee, except to assert that Bryan carried the state Chairman Roberts, of the republican committee, said to- night
 Mckinley has carried Kentucky by at feast 600 and they cannot count us out. We depend on the Eleventh dis trict to overcome the plurality of Bryan in eight districts. We expect at least 14,000 plurality in the Eleventh. This will give us 400 plurality on the state, and I expect it to go to 600 The dem- ocratic pluralities from western Ken lucky are almost exactly the same as Chairman Sommer' estimates, and this looks as if his managers there gave him Just what he claims.''

A PERFECT FLOOD OF GOLD
POURING INTO SUB-TREASURIES
 FROM HOARDERS, HANDS.

No Vaults in Which to Store the Yellow
 Metal, and a Scarcity of Legal Tender
 Currency to Give in Exchange-Treasurer
 Morgan Issues Instructions Concerning
 the Receipt of Gold Coin. Washington, Nov. 5.-More gold is pouring into several of the sub treasury offices than the offices have storage ca- pacity for or have legal tender curren- cy to give in exchange. This is nota- ply the case in Boston. This gold has been brought out of safe deposit vaults by the owners who have been paying storage charges upon it. Baltimore and New York also had large deposits of gold, but how much was deposited at New York could not be stated at the treasury, as the usual daily telegram had not been received when the depart ment closed.
 Nothing had been heard from west ern points.
 III ItopSCl lO SOlu uSpOSllS JIle lISdo- ury sent out this letter to-day to the nine assistant treasurers:
 "Sir-Referring to the instructions communicated to you by my letter of November 23, 1893, authorizing you to receive gold coin in exchange for paper currency, I have to say that the de- partment desires to be informed in ad- vance of any large transactions in or der that steps may be taken to accom- modate the depositors if the stock of notes and silver certificates available in the cash of this office will admit of the exchange being made. "The payment of express charges by the government on remittance of gold to the offices of the treasury and on the currency returned therefor will be dis continued. Gold coin below the least current weight will be received, as heretofore, in exchange for paper cur rency under the regulations now in force.
 Respectfully yours,

TENNESSEE.

Canton, O., Nov. 5.-Advices from Tennessee received this evening indi- cate that the state may give Mckinley a small plurality. William A. Rule of Knoxville wires that east Tennessee will give a plurality of 97,O0O for Me- Kinley and Hobart. Thomas Baker a member of the republican state commit tee, telegraphs that after all the stuff ing and stealing of ballots on the part of democrats in middle and western Tennessee, Mckinley has plurality of zs, O00''
 D. A. Mum, of Nashville, wires that the state will give a plurality of about 15,00c The impression grows here that or anything like fair count Tennessee is for Mckinley.

SOUTH DAKOTA.

Pierre, s. D., Nov. 5.-Both democrats and republicans are muct excited to- night over the closeness of the returns, and charges and counter-c charges of fraud are freely made. At Fort Pierre a number of arrests were made to-day for illegal voting, and twenty more are to follow. The returns are not yet in from fifteen counties Mckinley has a lead of $50 so far, but Populist Chair man Bowler claims the state for Bry- an by 800. The slump in republican es- inmates came from the fact that the railroad and mining vote went solidly for Bryan.
 Senator Pettigrew has advised popu- lists throughout the state that the state is theirs and that the republicans will attempt to steal it.

MASSES VERSUS THE CLASSES.
This Appeal Aided in Making the Great
 Republican Victory.

ThIS Appeal Aided In Making the Great
 Republican Victory.
 New York, Nov. 5.-Chairman Han na, in an interview in this city to-day, said:
 We all know that the dominant is- sue of this campaign has been the mon- etary question, and yet that issue, in the closing days of the campaign, was secondary and 1t was narrowed down to the masses against the classes Bryan and Altgeld brought me promi- nently forward and pictured me to the world as the crusher of labor and the representative of Mckinley. Then their next move was to attempt to cap ture the labor vote by working upon the laboring mems prejudices and at tempting to array the masses against the classes
 They undoubtedly influenced a great many men against us in this way, but, on the other hand, the attempt to ar ray the masses against the classes in- fluenced all honest and patriotic, sen- sible, thinking people against them.'
 "Do you feel that the silver question is dead?'
 Well, I feel that it is the beginning of the end. I do not hesitate to say that the result of this election will bring about a serious consideration of the question, and that the opinion of the country will be reflected in the sen- ate and house."
 will both houses be for sound mon- ey?"
 Undoubtedly, sir" MT. Hanna said that the silver men in both the house and senate would not be able to seriously interfere with any legislation.
 "The silver men," said he, twill have to hold themselves up by their boot straps"
 MT. Hanna praised the sound money men for their action in this campaign. Nobody appreciates" said he, more than I do how much the sound money democrats in the campaign have done. The national democratic party has worked just as hard for the same re- suits as we have. There has been no breaking of any lines and it has been loyal and true"
 DO you think the present apprecia- ton of values will continue, as evidenc- ed in the opening rise in the stock mar kets since the election?"
 q believe the appreciation of values will be permanent, and while perhaps speculative values may rise and fall, the advance of all industrial interests, based upon confidence, will be steady"
 Chairman Hanna tonight was asked upon what grounds he based his claims to the one Wyoming electoral vote for l Mckinley. MT Hanna replied:
 "Our claim is based on telegram we received this afternoon from Senator Warren of Wyoming stating that we were absolutely sure of one electoral vote and that in all probability we will also get the other two.

Struck Him With Piece of Iron.
 Julius Gursky, a Pole, who came to this city last week, was knocked down and robbed of $50 last evening, at about 10 o'clock in a lodging house at 138 La fayette street. The case was reported to the Howard avenue precinct, and Gursky, who was found to be in a semi i-conscious condition, was taken to the hospital, where his skull was found to be fractured. Gursky accuses an associate named Frank Roscusky, of assaulting him. The injured man says that he and his assistant were playing cards in saloon early in the evening, and that Rosclsky knew he had large sum of money with him. Roscusky met Gursky in dark hall in the house and struck him with piece of iron tubing. He then tore the money from Gursky's inside vest pocket. After se- curing the money Roscusky made his escape. Patrolmen McKeon and Matt Powers were detailed on the case.
