NEWS FROM HONOLULU.
Engiand's Tnsoience Toward the Ha-
waiian Governments.

Wmttan government.
Honolulu, June 8.-Great Britain
has made demand on the Hawaiian
government on behalf Of Volney A.
Ashford, exiled for completely in the
rebellion fifteen months ago. The de.
mand. in plain language, says that
Ashford, who has repeatedly asked per-
mission to land, must be allowed to do
SO. His demands were refused and he
appealed to the British governments.
President Dole has replied TO the de-
mand, refusing to allow Ashford to
come here. In close official circles it
is believed British man-ofwar will
come here and that Ashford will be
landed without respect to the wishes
of the Hawaiian government. Dole
will be 6rm in the matter, and will
probably appeal to the United States
for aid. Ashford is a native of Ontar.
10, Canada, and is now sick in San
Francisco hospital.
The funeral of Kate Field, who died
on the 18th of May, was held ON the
goth. The body was embalmed and
placed on a temporary vault, pending
instructions to Consul General Mills,
from Chicago. 1t is understood that
Miss Field said If she died in Honolulu
she wished her remains buried beside
John Brown, at North Elba, New
York. The funeral was attended by
President Dole members of the cabinet
and many leading citizens. She fell
sick on the island of Hawaii and
started for Honolulu by steamer, dying
half an hour after the steamer arrived
of pneumonia.

LAKE STEAMERS ESCAPE.
Prompt Action of Her Captain Ayerted
Disaster.

Chicago, June 8.-A gaping hole in
the back side of the Goodrich line
steamer Virginia, just above the aft
gangway, tells this morning of the rar-
row escape the steel lake greyhound and
400 passengers had last night from be-
ing central figure in terrible trag
edy.
While the Virginia was returning
from Milwaukee last night she collided
with the schooner Mary A. McGregor.
A thick fog prevailed at the time, which
rendered objects invisible at distance
of few feet. A panic on the upper
decks was made by the terrified pas.
sengers. The quick command of Cap
tain Stein, of the Virginia, who was
on the bridge, in altering the course Of
the steamer just as the two vessels came
together, prevented horrible disaster.
As it was, there is large hole in the
back side of the steamer, while the
schooner had her bowsprit carried away
and otherwise badly damaged by the
collision. The schooner was bound
from Racine to Milwaukee. Captain
Stein said that the collision was IN
avoidable. The Virginia was running
slower than usual, and to this he at
tributes her escape from foundering.

FINANCE AND TRADE
WEEKLY REVIEW FROM THE
AMERICAN METROPOLIS.

Dun's Report Says That as 81 On as the
Conventions Have Met and Adjourn
ed the Prevailing Uncertainty win
BE Remoyed-Business Will Pick Up.
New York, June S.-R. g. Dun &
Co. g weekly review of trade says:
1t is highly suggestive that. with as
little help as there now is from new
business, markets are go nearly main
tanned. Summer is close at hand, and,
with new crops promising we'll, and
old stocks large, it is no wonder the
farm products are cheap. The fac
tories and mills are still waiting for
the rush of business seen last year,
and, in spite of narrow orders, are at
present generally holding ON with
much confidence. 1t is so late that
gold exports nc longer alarm, for the
date of the expected returns draws
near. Lower prices this season affect
farmers very little, but the speculators
who have bought from them for rise,
the estimates entitled to most conf.
dence, point to probable yield of 500,-
900, 900 bushels of wheat, which, with
the stock carried over, will clear away
any danger of oppressive charges for
bresdstuffs, at the same time giving
producers fair return.
The movement of cattle at the West
is very heavy, at Chicago 10 per cent
greater than last year thus far, and
lard makes new low record, with
enormous stocks accumulated.
Thre hardest problem of the day is
whether iron and steel prices can be
maintained as they have been during
the past week. The nail combine has
failed thus far to win over competitors
who undersell them, and are able to
manufacture 5000 kegs against every
100 by concerns in the combine. The
bar association asks for iron more than
the selling price for steel bars. Open
hearth billets are freely sold at Pitts
burg below the price asked for Besse-
mer, and middlemen are still selling
Bessemer billets about 81 below the
price fixed by the pool. Naturally the
doubt regarding maintenance of prices
greatly checks the demand for the pres
ent, but that large demand is certain
and will not be long delayed is one
thing which prevents considerable de-
cline.
Failures for the week were 234 in
the United Sttaes, agains 1876 last year,
and 80 in Canada, against % last year

Marrow Escape OF workmen

Eureka, Cal, June 8.-A 56.inch
circular saw, running at speed of
/ 400 revolutions per minute, broke
today at Mckay & Company's occi-
dental mill, while being driven
through a redwood log. There were
forty men on the floor at the time.
A large fragment of the saw was
thrown with lightning velocity across
the mill narrowly missing several
workmen and crashing through 9
heavy ladder and the siding and finally
lodged in big timber. The escape OF
the men WAS miraculous. The mill has
been closed down for repairs

tion to this Dingley, the floor leader of

Downing was the only Democrat from

there was mild reminder of the tur

Condensed Record OF the Dofngs of
the National NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Washington, June 5-The senate
today passed the river and harbor bill
over the presidents veto by vote of
56 to 5. This was the last step in
making the bill effective, and 1t is now
law. The vote was taken after three
hours of spirited debate, during which
the president was criticised and de-
Tended, the remarks at times being di-
rectly and bitterly personal. The op-
position to the veto was expressed by
Vest. Sherman. Pettigrew, Hawley and
Butler, while the veto was defended
by Villas, Hill and Bate When par
tial conference report was presented ON
the naval appropriation bill, Quay
moved that the senate recede from its
amendment reducing the number of
battle-ships from four to two. This
brought on an extended debate. A
final vote on the item Of battle ships
will be taken at an early date.
Washington, June 6.-The senate
had one of the busiest sessions of this
congress today. Late in the day the
filled cheese bill was passed, as it came
thus completing the legislation ON this
subject. The measure is analogous to
the oleomargarine law. The bill de-
fines filled cheese" to embrace "all
substances of milk, or SKINNED milk.
with the admixture of butter, animal
oils or fats, vegetable or any other oils
or compounds foreign to such milk,
and made in imitation or semblance of
cheese. Manufacturers of filled
cheese are taxed $400 annually; whole

itself is taxed 1 cent per pound, and if

the senate spirited revival of the Gu
ban question today, after most of the

reports on appropriation bills Nor
gan urged the adoption of his resolu-
ton, calling on the president for in
formation in regard to the Americans
taken from the Competitor and now
under sentence of death in Havana.
He said the presidents action was a
violation of law. Morgan declared
congress should not adjourn without
requiring the president to send war
ships to Cuba to demand the release Of
the American prisoners. On the sug
gestion of Sherman, chairman of tbs
committee ON foreign affairs. the senate
went into secret session, and, aftei
argument by Morgan, his resolution
was placed on the calendar, a prelimin
ary movement equal to postponing &C
