SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 9.--The steamer

bringing the following correspondence to the
Associated press
HONOLULU, Feb. 1.-The 18th Of January
having been declared national holiday by
the republic invitations to take part were sent
in the usual way to the diplomat and consular
corps Favorable replies were received from
all but the representatives Of the United
States, England, Japan and France or these
representatives the last three stated in their
replies to this government that as their gov
ernments have not recognized the provisional
government and as the holiday was given in
celebration of the formation Of that govern
ment, they did not feel 1t incumbent upon
them to In any way participate. Mr.. Willis
replied stating that he would lay the matter
before Secretary Olney.
Minister Cooper denies the statements pub
lished in the San Francisco papers regarding
his recent visit to Hawaii. His trip to Hilo
was simply in conformity with the policy of
the government. There was nothing in the
rumors of secession of the people on the big
Island to call for visit of any member of
the government to Hilo. 3.
The legislature will meet on the 10th inst.
Under article 60 of the constitution, the legisla-
ture cannCt SIT more than ninety days ex-
cept by special extension by the president,
and then not for more than thirty days ad-
dtional.
Many important questions will be con-
s.dered, the Asatic question being one.
Chinese and Japanese were originally
brought here to work on. plantations but
at the expiration of their contracts many Of
them drifted into Honolulu and engaged in
public pursuits, directly in competition with
the white mechanic and merchant. This
competition is commencing to be felt very
keenly.

AK Hundred Milwaukee People Affected
by Eating "Doctored" Bread.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. An attempt at
wholesale poisoning, in large measure
successful, was reported to the health
department during the day when in
formation was given of the sudden and
serious illness of about 100 families,
numbering between 500 and 600 per-
sons, living in the northwestern part Of
the city The cause of the sickness
was traced to bread sold at a bakery
owned by Otto Figlesthaler, which has
very large trade. An analysis of the
bread showed that it contained arsenic.
The 600 persons poisoned are living,
but large number of cases are con-
sidered serious. if not critical.
The first intimation that the health
department had of the poisoning was
the notification by DR.. +. r. Weber
that family named HerZberg had
been taken i'll and that the
Symptoms Were Those of Poisoning.
Later Dr. Robert Shearer notified Sec

more than 100 families had been re-
ported as suffering from symptoms Of
acute poisoning. DIR. Kempster stated
that he had been notified Of the condi-
tion Of affairs and had ordered q COM
plete investigation.
Mrs. Figlesthaler, the wife of the
baker, stated that she thought that

there are two flights of stairs that lead
directly to the garret. 1t is claimed by
the lady who lives above the bakery
that she heard someone moving abou,
in the garret early in the night before
the bread was made, but as she though,
that it was some one Of the Figlesthalel
family, she said nothing about it unit
she found out the next morning tha
none Of the family had been near tn
garret the night before. The polio
are convinced that arsenic was place,
