Sa. Fiiancisco, Nov. 20. The
steamship Australia from Honolulu
urr'ved inside the Golden Onto at 8:40
o'clock a. m. Saturday with news from
Honolulu that up to lust Saturday
there had been no change In the
Hawaiian political situation. The
new United States minister, Willis,
had presented his credentials to Pres
ident Dole of the provisional govern
ment and hud not indicate 1 prior to
the departure of the vessel any Inten
tion on the part of the I'ttitoJ .States
gotvernmoat to insist upon the restor
ation of Queen Lilluolcaluni.
Minister Willis, when ho presented
his credentials November 7, said.

President Dole then made reply as
fo.lpws:
Mr. Minister It Is with much satisfaction
tbat I receive tbe credential-) you briny from
his excellency the president of tho United
States of America, accrediting you as envoy
extraordinary und minister plenipotentiary to
represent that country at tbe capital of the
Hawaiian Islands Your aisjrances of con
tinued friendship of your iiorerninenl for ma
and tbe Hawaiian people add to tho gratifi
cation which lone experience of the wenerous
, consideration of tbo United States for this
country has fostered
Permit me to assure you that ws heartily
reciprocate the expressions of Interest and
cootrwtll which you, on behalf ot the Ameri
can people, have conveyed to u& Aside from
our geographical proximity and tbe conse
quent preponderating commercial Interests
which center here, tbe present advanced
civilization and christlanlzatlon of your peo-
file, together with our enlWhtened codes ot
aw, stand today benellcent monuments of
American zeal, couraxe and Intelligence,
It Is not surprising, therefore, that tbo United
states was the tint to roio nlse
the independence of the Uawallan islands and
to welcome them into the treat family of free,
equal and sovereign nation-), nor Is It surpris
ing that tbla hUtorlo tie has been siren thened
from year to year by the important mutual
reciprocities and agreements ullke honorable
and advantageous to both overnmeuts,
partly from proximity, partly the leadlnr
influence of American citizens In the work
of Inaugurating Christian civilization and
industrial enterprise In tbese islands, but still
more from tbe repeated acts of friendly assis
tance we have received from your government
during t i) past halt century we have become
aocustomed to regard tbe United Stitei as a
friend and ally and hato learnei to look Urst
to her for help In our emergencies
I reKret the Inability of your predecessor.
Mr. lllonut, to personally present his letter
of recall and to afford me the opportunity to
express to him my appreciation of the agree
able omclal and social relations that ex
isted between him and our government
and people during his residence here. Wo
congratulate ourselves. Mr. Minister tbat the
government ot tbe United State Is to be rep
resented by one who, we are ussured Is famil
iar with tbe questions arising from tbe rela
tions between tho two governments and with
whom we look for tbo malntalanance of tbs ,
pleasant official intercourse ,
In speaking; of his mission Mr. Willis
upon a late occasion declared that hi
instructions' would not be known until
they vrera officially handed to the pro
visional government "I will say this
much'," continued ho, "that there is
absolutely no foundation for the
various rumors afloat since my arrival
as to What I am empowered to do or
not to do. There are but two or three
men even in Washington who know
what my Instructions are. I must
positively decline, at present, to state
whether I carry an ultimatum or a
sew treaty or what."
The provisional government claims
to be as much in the dark as everv-
body tbit, though it was reported from
vcrr reliable soiyxs. tbat the vr
minister would negotiate a new treaty
with tho provisional government
which would place the islands virtually
under tho protection of the United
States. It was understood that when
completed this treaty would be at once
HttbmlMcd to tho United States senate
with President Cleveland's message.
In tho meantime the United States
would seo that matters should remain
in statu quo, both internally and ex
ternally. Evidence of the determination on
tho part of the United States was seen
during the night of November O.wlien
for some reason unknown t tho pro
visional government the boats of the
Philadcl ilia were dropped into the
water und suppllud with loaded Gat
ling guus and small arms. Details of
men were kept under orders all light
and tho boats were not taken
aboard until 4 o'clock tho next
morning. An interview with a
prominent provUlonal government
ofllclal failed to throw any light upon
the circumstance. Ho said: "Wo are
here to keep tho peace. The demon
stration could not have been Intended
against us. Yes, there have been late
threats, but the government ha
placed little credence in them. The
royalists, if they find their cause
hopeless, mny try something desper
ate. The United States seems bent
up n keeping tbe peace nt al hazards,
though if it came to trouble it would
probably be virtually settled befon
troops could bo landed from the war
ships. The government relies upon
the citizens' reserve guard in case of
trouble and is confident it will not b
disappointed "
Otliccrs of tho Australia say that
Secretary Grcshmn's letter had uot
been recoiv- d or heard of and so far
sis known by the nubile Huwalini.
aftalrs in tho United States were still
in Ktatu quo.
HOLD YOUR WHEAT.
Farmers or the Northwest rroxulsad
Itlch Profits if Not Too Hasty.
St. Paul, Nov. 20. Leading farm
ers In the Northwest, realizing the
shortage of wheat, hava held soverat
meetings to discuss the sltuatlou and
decry the causes of the unprecedent
ed ly low prices in tho face of this
shortage. As a result the following
"hold your wheat" circular has been
Issued from Pierre, S. D.:
Kvery country) in Kurope this year has had a
short wheat crop. Our own crop It at least
UM.UJJ.Ooi bushels less than wo raised In U91
Tho general financial stringency of the
last six months has brou bt out
lance supplies for all. The harvest this
year baa been a poor one. TbU has kept tbo
market price down. The price Is overned by
the law of supply and demand For over a
yoar we have had "o liberal a supply Tbe
exports this fall'have been are. amounting .
to aooui (u,iMj,uA nusneis since tneiastnar- ;

iroi there win beenoujjn wneu in tne country
to meet our usual requirement Asare,ult
of the present low price a smiller acreaceof
winter wheat has been sown than for ssveral
years past
A7ter a thorough Investigation of tho condi
tions existing, we feel certain the yoar 1894
will tiring much higher prices for wheat, and
do not hesitate to uwe Northwestern produc
ers to hold their wheat in hind for a few
months Wo may just as well keep at least a
part of this extra profit for ourselvos as to
glee it to tbe elevators and millers by selling
now. The conditions are such that every
bushel of wheat now remaining in the produc
ers' hands can bo made to bring II before an
other harvest If allot It could be held for the

OFFICIAL KANSAS FIGURES.

Toieka, Kan., Nov. 20. J. M. Simp

4. Bsport.
Wasiiixotov, Nov. 20. The state
department Ib less disposed than ever
to take the public into Its confidence
on the Hawaiian quostlon. The part
that Is indubitable fact Is that those
In the confidence of the administra
tion have -felt and expressed the ut
mdst assurance that the Australia
would bring the news that the ex
queen had already been restored to
tho throne. Assertions as to Minister
Willis' instructions have ben almost
wholly inferences from this and from
the expressions In Secretary Gresham'a
published letter.
It is possible that Minister Willis
has become convinced to his entire
satisfaction, without having laid the
matter beforo President Dole, that the
provisional government cannot bo dis
placed without force, and so has de
termined lo wait for further Instruc
tions. It seems certain, at all events,
that President Dolo had no suspicion
when the Australia sailed that it was
the purpose ot Minister Willis to re
store the cx-queen.
It is not possible that Mr. Thurston,
Hawaiian minister here, could have
given hi in warning, for Secretary
Ureaham's letter astounded and dis
concerted him when It was published
and left no opportunity for hint to
warn his government. It has been
the chief fear of the friends of the
provisional government that in Its
ignorance of public sentiment here
and tho first shock of the threatened
action of tho Unltod States, It would
yield its authority.
It Is true however, that for some
lime past the provisional government
has abandoned all hope of favorable
action by the present administration
towards annexation und has been con
sidering means to put Itself on a per
manent footing.
It is considered that tho chances, of
action by Minister Willis to restore
the queen will be much lessened after
the news ot the reception accorded
Secretary Urcsham's letter in this
country Is read tn the Islands.
A prominent DaaiocraUa senator, a
member of the foreign relations com
mlttee, who declined to permit the
uso of his name, said last .night: "1
seouM vorv clear to me that Mr Willis
has encountered a state of affalrshe
had not beoa.led to expect, and which
his Instructions did not caver. Ha
found evidently, when he ruaehed'the
Islands, that the provisional govern
incut was disposed to withstand all
overtures for. the restoration of the
queen, aud faj better prepared than
had been suppossd to resist any pres- ,
sure to place her upon the throne. I
have private advices of the best char
acter that President Dole has a well
equipped force of 400 to 600 men, vho
will stand by the present government
to the utmost limit. No, I think the
inference is justified that when Minis
ter Willis found this well equipped and
doterminod force and when ho discov
ered the feeling of the intelligent peo
ple was favorable to the present gov
ernment, be was weakened in hla de
termination to reseat the queen upon
her throne. If, Indeed the Dole ad
ministration displayed a determina
tion to maintain its position by force
of arms, there was nothing for Minis
ter Willis but to ask further orders.,
To have persisted in landing the mar
ines for the purposo of forcing a
change of governmeut would have
been an act rff war pure and simple,
and no sane man can believe President
Cleveland ever contemrlated any such
move us that I see that tome of the
newspapers have put this construction
,' ,. , n nn.u ,u. ,.
i - -j ..-... ..w (....-
ucilko tu..iui..iuua, UUb lb UIUI, ua
borne in inind that these Instructions
have never been made public."
The same' senator expressed the
view that the islands ought to bo an
nexed to the United States, and said
their government could be made slm-'
pie and easy by making them a part
ot tho state 61 California.

ANrrittNG.
The Provisional Government
Vrrparsd
for Hinerrenclss.
Sax Fhan&bco. Nov. 33. The Call
says: "It United States Minister
Willis Insists upon tho reinstatement
ot Queen Lilioukalanl, tho deposed
queen of Hawaii, that woman will ba
deported from the islands and the
chances are that the exequator ot
President Cleveland's envoy will be
cancelled, and he will be returned to
this country as persona nan grata.
This Is rather astonishing news, but
j itis a fact and is what the provisional
gwernment of the islands has de-
elded on.
This Is founded upon tho interview
with ex-Consul General to Hawaii
Henry W. Severance. "What will the
provisional government do when a
demand is mude that the queen be re
stored?" They will probably at once cancel
tho exequator ot the minister making
such an absurd demand and cause him
to return to his country."
"And as to tbe queen?"
"O, she niil have been disposed of."
"What? Do you mean that she will
have been killed?''
"No; nothing of the kind, There
will be no b oodahed. rhe will be out
of tbe country. She will have been
deported "
"This move was contemplated some
time ago, was It uot?"
"Yes. said Mr. Severance, "aud it
was even spoken of in the newspapers,
but it Mas considered inadvisable, for
then it was believed the great United
States would listen to reason, and
uch harb. treatment would wot be
tWsceaawy. iai rtOrWMil gavtqa -
mant now stands ready to carry out
ihe suggestion the moment It seems
necessary or the safety of tho powers
Hint now rule tho inlands."
"What effeot will tho letter of Sec
retary Gresham have ou tho govern
ments action when It reaches Hono
lulu? "I should not be surprised were tho
queen deported the next day," ho
replied.
"What if the United States attempts
to put her on the throne by force, by
landing marlnos?'
"This country will never do that.
In the first place the chances are that
Minister Willis would find no queen
to 'boost' on to the throne. No, there
will be no force used. If Urover
Cleveland should attempt such a
thing the people of tho United States
would raise such a cry that he would
atones be called to his senses. Mr.
Cleveland's great mistake is that he
does not know the caliber of tho men
he Is dealing with. They aro every
bit as bright and clevor as ho. Why,
Judge Sandford 11. Dole, tho presi
dent, could fill any oOlco In tho
United States with honor, and his
ministers are as capable. They aro
determined men; determined to give
the Islands a good, clean government.
Tho thinking people want them in
power and thev will remain there "
"About cancelling Minister Willis'
exoquatur, can tho provisional gov
ernment do that?"
"Most assuredly. They formed an
Independent government, recognized
as such by the different nattoun, and
they can refuse to rocelvo a minister
should they so decide."
"llut suppose Mr. Cleveland should
insist upon what seems to bo his policy
and attempt to force the minister upon
the islands and the quoen upon the
throne?"
"I tell you again he would not dare
do such a thing. The people of the
United States would not stand it."

What !! Is Alleged to Have round Out
M tails In Honolulu.
Chicago, Nov. 20. A special dis
patch from Washington declares that
the report ot Special Commissioner
ltlount, now on file at the stato de
partment, and which is to be sent
toj congress when that .body re
assembles, shows beyond doubt that
tho revolution in Hawaii was accom
plished only by intervention on tho
part of United States Minister Stev
ens. 'Commissioner Blount," tho dis
patch continues, "did his work with
great thoroughness. During tho five
or six months of his stay In Honolulu
he worked with a single pur
pose to ascertain the truth.
Ho secured statements from mem
bers of the cabinet of the deposed
queen, from members of tbe commit
tee on safetj which brought about tho
revolution, from officers of the llotton
nnd from other persons. Including the
queen herself. Some of these persons
were examined by Mr. Illount. a sten
ographer being pressnL Gradually
Mr. Hlount was able to reach
the bottom of the affa r, and
"when
he did so he hud no
hesitation lu declaring that the
representatives ot the United States
h id conspired against a friendly gov
ernment. In one of the reports to tho
state department, Commissioner
Illount said: 'I send you a written
.tnl.tn.nl f.v, I. W f .1 .. !-. ...I.n
says his information Is derived from
being personally present at all tho
conferences of the committee of safety,
and that his utterances aro based on
his personal knowledge. He appears
to be an Intelligent man. He suvs he
acted with the committer lu good faith
until the American flag was hoisted,
and then he ceased communication
with there. He Is at this time, April
80, a deputy clerk of the supreme
courL"
As an evidence of the esteem tn
which Mr, Undenberer is held In Hon-
olulu. Mr. Illount mentions that tho
'provisional government has just ten
dered him an appointment as collector
of customs, a place which Mr. Unden
berg declined. One of the Honolulu
newspapers, In sympathy with tho
provisional government, mentions tho
offer of this place to Mr. Undenberg,
and highly praises him as a man of
high reputation.

Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 20. Passen

freight Is tie i up by the strike. The

The grievances of the Lehigh men
are of long standing. Numerous ef

of the company have Indifferently
treated all overtures In behalf of tho
employrs made by the Hallway Fed
