HAWAII STIRRED UP.
Rumors Of Restoration Of tho Monarchy

Rnmors Of Restoration Of tho Monarchy
and IN American Protectorate
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 3L-According
to steamship aavices from Honolulu,
E. c. MacFarlane. a leading royalist,
left for San Francisco, August 20,
and it was rumored he was on his way
to England to confer with Princess
Kaiulani, who was heir 70 the Ha-
waiian throne. The rumor was con-
tradicte6 by the royalist pacer. which
claimed that his errand was personal
and had no political significance. In
the same issue, however. the editor
said: 1.-THE natural outcome of the
present situation is that President
Dole will gracefully retire and that
Princess kaiulani will be asked to
head q new regime of which Dole's
present cabinet officers will be the
leaders"
The royalists claimed that they had
received information that Kaiulani
would be restored, while supporters
of the republic were under the impress
sion that President Cleveland had en-
powered United States Minister Willis
to negotiate for an annexation treaty,
or failing in that, to offer the present
government the protection of the
United States. Either annexation or
. protectorate would be acceptable to
the white people of Hawaii, and. judg-
lng from appearances, any attempt to
restore the monarchy would be met
with resistance.

Gaping to the German consulate. where

KANSAS CITY. NO., Aug. pa ter
rible tragedy was discovered yesterday
morning at the home of Charles w.
Gre n, travelling passenger agent of
the leveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and
St. ou:s railway. the big Four"
line, in this city, $40 West Thirty
fourth street.
1t was the murder of three children
by their mother and her suicide. These
are the dead:
Mrs. Charles w. Green.
Willie Green, i2 years old.
Charles w. Green. jr., years old.
Mary Green, 6 years old.
MIR. Green has been in ill health for
some months and has been in the West
in search of health. He left home a
week ago last Monday with Mr.. Lynch.

1t is difficult to fix positively the
motive for the tragedy. 1t is most
likely that Mrs. Green had become
temporarily insane. She was of a
highly nervous temperament and she

bands ill health.

left temple. She was still breat hlng
spasmodically. though she was be-
yond all human aid.
Clutched in the dead mans left
hand was . small revolver with two
empty chambers This, with other
evidence, was sufficient to establish
beyond q doubt that Hartig shot the
woman and then killed himself. A
note left on . table in the room and
signed Nellie" and John" was con-
elusive.
The two came here about o'clock
Friday night and registered at the

made for the express purpose of emo
ing their lives Family forgiveness
was asked and hope expressed that
the two. who were about to be usn-
cred into eternity, would meet all
their loved ones on the other side.
Miss Bush's father did not like Har-
tig. He said that he was too much OF
q rowdy. On the other hand, the
father of young Hartig was opposed
to his marrying the girl. and the son
told friend few days ago that his
father had threatened to disinherit
him if he took Miss Bush for a wife.

ing one mile west of Conner station,
while Miss Bush's father lives at Pom
