There is no donbt that all concerned feel that thie latest phase of the Hawai ian imbroglio involves very serious con sequence*. There does not appear to be any disposition on the part of the pro visional government to yield peaceably, bat there ie no apprehension that Willis will resort to force, his instructions be ing explicitly against anch a course. The atate department feela tbat he acted with bad judgment in attempting to carry oat a policy defined nnder very different conditiona. Everybody ia very anxious for the publication of tbe con tents of tbe cipher diapatchea brought by tbe Corwin, but the atate department so far has declined to make tbe contents known. HTTT WANTS INFORMATION. Repreaentative Hitt of Illinois, evi dently giving full credence to the truth of the Aaeociated Press Auckland dis patch, introduced the following resolu tion in the house: Resolved, Tbat the president be re quested to communicate to the house, if not inconsistent with pnblic interest, all information received aince his mes sage of December 18, 1893, or not trans mitted therewith, and now in hi? pos session, touching tbe recent reported events in tbe Hawaiian islands, as to any attempts to overturn tbe republican government thereof and erect a mon archy in its stead, and especially v, nether any representative officer, ves s< 1 or armed force of the United States 1M k part in such attempts to aubvert the friendly government, and, if ao, by whose orders they acted. SENATOR FRYE'a OPINIONB. Senator Frye, a member of the com mittee on foreign relatione, expressed much concern to know whether the ad vices received yesterday were correct, and —hen eaanrarl that they were, said: "It is tbe groaeeat outrage yet, if tbe story is true. While Cleveland did not say in so many words he would drop the matter, unless congress should give him ita anpport, his meaeage created the im pression that Buch would be hia policy, and be ought, in all fairness, after de livering tbat meeaage, to have immedi ately withdrawn all instructions to his minister looking to interference witb the affaire of Hawaii, until congress conld at leaat have had time to take action." "What," was aeksd, "do yon think will be the next move made by the pres ident T" "He cannot, with doe regard to the constitution, go any fnrther than he baß gone, bnt I cannot undertake to aay what Cleveland will do." NO MAIL FOR WILDER. Charlea Wilder, Hawaiian consul at San Francisco, telegraphed the legation here that tbe Corwin brought no mail, diapatchea or newspapers to him, and that he waa unable te obtain anything from the officers of the Corwin aa to the conditian of affairs in Honolulu. II AW All ANS' APPREHENSIONS. The Hawaiians at tbe legation in thia city express apprehension lest the iast move of inspire tbe royalists in Honolultt-if) ion? act of violence, or to tbe killing of Some prominent man in the govern awn t, leading to general bloodshed. Nd fears are expressed that tbe provisional government will not prove to be able to suppress any out break, but there ia ground for fear tbat an outbreak may occur. ALLISON IN DOUBT. Senator Allison felt some doubt'about the correctness of the report, but eaid: "If true it ia a great mistake. Tbe whole business must end in a fiasco, for tbe president has esid he would not nae force." STEVENS IS TO BLAME. Voorheas thinks the blame for tbe whole trouble began with the previous administration. He aaya the people care nothing about the Hawaiian ques tion. He conaidere that Stevens is tbe responsible man, and believes he was engaged in a conspiracy aix months be fore the revolution took place to oust tbe queen and annex the Hawaiian islands. Tbe senator aaya he would not hesitate to go before a jury to convict bim of conspiracy, and feela confident be would succeed. "If," he added, "there was some powerful government behind Hawaii, as Spain was back ot Cuba when certain Americans attempt ed to seize that island, tbe consequences might be as serious for the conspirators in thia inatance ac in that." HILL IS NON-COMMITTAL. Hill of New York declined to enter into any discussion of the report as it stands. "Wait until we know all about it," he said, and after thinking a mo ment be added: "If it should prove true, I fear Hawaii wonld displace tbe elections bill in discussion in the senate next week." m'ckbaky tt SKEFHCAL. McCreary, chairman of the house for eign affairs committee, still refuses to credit the news that Willis bas made a formal demand on the provisional gov ernment to surrender its authority to the queen. "In my opinion," said he, "tbe status at Honolulu, so far as action oo the part of our minister is concerned, is nnchanged. The president has sub mitted the question to congress, and there is no doubt in my mind that I • fully adheres to what he eaid in bis message." FBOF. ALBXANDBB's VIEWS. Prof. Alexander, the Hawaiian gen tleman who was bsfore the senate com mittee on foreign relations for two days, was at the capitol this morning when the confirmation of yesterday's Asso ciated Press cable concerning the situ ation of Hawaii was received. He was greatly interested in the news, and said it was not different from what he had expected. "I don't see what more Willis can do. The president bas in structed him not to use force and he certainly will not disregard these in structions. There is danger of a clash, however, and that is the critical point •t preeent. Tbe queen's adherents will be emboldened by the action on the part of Willis, and are likely to do something at any moment to cause bloodsbeld, and there is no telling what the result would be if one persoe should be killed. The provisional gov ernment is firmly entrenched, and con fident of the support of its armed force, and itrengihefted by tip co^otipn^ of a just cause, it will stand oat against any encroachment npon its authority, whether from tbe United States or others; furthermore, they feel the the support of the great macs of p of thia country. Tbnraton ia then baa of coarse been able to furnish 1' dent Dole and his supporters with h « r rect idea of the feeling of the people in America. This will be very reassuring to them, and will go a long way towarda encouraging the preeent government to atand firm." THE MOHICAN'S ORDEPS. The report from San Francisco that tbe Mohican was preparing for an imme diate trip to Honolulu is denied by the navy department. The Mohican and Ranger were ordered ready for sea about tbe same time. The Ranger waa despatched to Central America several weeks ago. The Mohican has been ready to put to aea on short notice, bnt it ia eaid will not at preeent go to Hono lulu * t THE MOHICAN UNDER STEAM. A Kamot That She la to Sail Foat Haste for Honolulu. San Fbancisco, Jan. 6. —It is reported tonight from Mare Island that the Mo hican haa been nnder ateam all day and tbat her crew ia unusually buay tonight. Notwithatanding the denials from Wash ington it is believed the cruiser will be dispatched to Honolulu in a few boars. No one in authority at Mare Island, however, will reveal anything aa to the vessel's future movements. Later —It ia learned from an authori tative naval source that the Mohican will not eail for Honolulu for 10 days at least. Even if the war veaael ihonld sail tomorrow, she could not reach tbe islands more than 24 hours in advance of the steamship Mariposa, which ia scheduled to leave here next Thnraday. Today 10 aailora of tbe Mohican were given shore liberty, ranging in time from five to ten daya. The naval offi cers aay there ia nothing unnanal in the fact that the Mohican got np ateam. ACTIVITY AT MARE ISLAND. The Mohican Ready to Ball at • Mo ment's Notlee. Vallbjo, Jan. 6.—Today was one of activity at Mare Island navy yard. The Mohican waa made ready to sail at a moment's notice. Executive Officer wadhem said ihe Mohican cssld carry 260 men. The general opinion among tha officers here ia that the sitnation in Hawaii is so serious that the aecretary of atate dared not give out any news un til be had consulted the president. It was positively learned tbat trouble was imminent, and that Admiral Irwin had so reported by the Corwin, suggesting that if the qneen was to be restored the United States forces now in Honolulu would be unable to cope with the pro visional government'a forces. An officer from tbe navy yard vieited tbe Corwin on a tug today, presumably to obtain advice as to the situation at the islands. The Corwin ia etiil anchored of Red Rock, and tonight landed an officer at San Quentin to receive diapatchea. TROUBLE IN HONOLULU. An Ineantlona Sailor Glvos Out a Little Information. San Fbancisco, Jan. 5. —The only in formation obtained from tbe Corwin ia one eentence, shouted today from the deck of tbe revenue cutter by an in cautious sailor. That sentence waa: "There is serious trouble in Honolulu.'' Before the aailor had a chance to aay any more, he waa gruffly ordered away from the rail by an officer. WINS HIS WIFE AT LAST." ~ Harried a Fonrteen-year-old Girl In 1891 Whose Father Has Held Her Since. After weary months of anxious wait ing and watching Evan A. Cochran has gained possession of what he considers a treasure —a bright eyed, rosy cheeked wife of 17 summers. Cochran married Miss Mary Conley, the 14-year-old daugh ter of Samuel W. Conley, in 1891. Con ley has kept vigil over his daughter ever since, guarding her at the point of a shotgun. Conley had Cochran indicted in the Putnam superior court forkidnap- ing. The case was carried to the supreme court and the decision reversed, that tribunal holding that Cochran could claim his lawful wife with her consent and that Conley could not prevent him from so doing. Nevertheless, Conley had the girl, and Cochran could not get her away from the paternal roof. Coch ran was granted a writ of habeas cor pus for the possession of his wife, and the case was set for trial before his honor Judge H. W. Baldwin of the county court Saturday morning. A large crowd was in the courtroom. The girl ish looking wife sat beside Sheriff Sears. Colonel Emerson George appeared for the plaintiff, and Colonel Q. L. Williford represented the defendant. Messrs. Williford and Conley and the girl held a consultation. The girl told her father she would go with her husband. Conley came back into the courtroom, his face flushed and showing suppressed excitement. "Judge," said he, "dismiss the case. I will not detain her further if she desires to go." Turning to his daugh ter, the irate father jerked off her hat and marched outof tbe courtroom. "Mr. Sheriff, call Mr. Conley back," said Judge Baldwin. He wae brought into court, and the judge told him he bad act ed very unbecomingly in court, and that he could either pay a fine of $10 or apolo gize to his daughter then and there and restore to her the hat which he had so rudely snatched from her head. Conley said he would not apologize, but would pay the fine. The case was then dis missed. The brido and groom re ceived the hearty congratulations of a number of friends present. The happy couple walked down to a millinery store, where the groom had the pleasure of buying his wife a new bridal hat. Thus a lover who has but one eye and one leg wins a rather pretty wife after 33 long months of weary waiting, watching and scheming.—Madison (Ga.) Letter. Lo Bengals Still Fighting.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING. JANUARY 7, 1894. AFFAIRS IN THE FATHERLAND. The Russian Commercial Treaty Nearly Finished. Its I hanee* for Passing the Reich stag Diminished. Ambassador Runyon Onttlng a Wide Swath In Imperial Social Circles. A Burglar Insurance Com pany—Cold Weather. (Copyrighted by the Associated Press.) Berlin, Jan. 6.—An agreement re garding the Russian treaty of commerce has been reached on all points bnt tbe Russian side, the understanding being tbat this will take some time. In order to prevent further difficulties tbe in terpretation of tbe treaty in tbe German and Russian languages will be avoided. The whole will be drafted in French. The difficulty now is the duration of the treaty. Russia favors a short and Germany demand* a long period. The prospects of its adoption by tbe reich ■tag is diminished. Marguardsen, Faascbe and Bnrhlin, three influential members of the National Liberal party, have publicly announced their inten tion to vote against the treaty, and it is feared others will follow their ex ample, and, as a change of 12 votes would suffice to defeat tbe treaty, the impending crisis is brought nearer. Richter ia preparing an attack npon the government on the Cameroone af fair. The attack will be made mainly on the lines of injudicious eelection of the officiate entrusted to represent tbe German power in Africa. These officials are eaid to be mostly yonng and with out colonial experience, and tbe bulk of tbe troubles with the natives, it ia claimed, originates with the mistakes they make. The raising of the American minis ter, Hon. Theodore B. Runyon, to the rank of ambassador, has just been given a fitting significance by a special compliment paid by tbe emperor, by driving np to tbe embassy on New Tear's morning and sending up his card, personally inviting Runyon io a reception. Ranyon gave eclat to the event by driving np to the palace in splendid style, with a coachman and two foot men in blue coats and white cape. The American eagle waa painted on tbe car-' riage and tbe trappinge were elaborately embroidered. The equipage canaed a great deal of curiosity among tbe people of Berlin, the colore not yet being fa miliar to the people of the city. Herr Bloese' libel trial haa led to con siderable comment aa to the differences between the respective regime of Prince Biamarck and General Caprivi. Hia lenient eentence ia claimed to prove that an immenee change haa occurred in political views and opinions since the dismissal of the iron chancel lor. People ask whether any court of justice would nnder Bismarck's gov ernment have the independence merely to fine an offender 100 marks for intuiting him in a similar manner. Herr Blechreger. a well known banker, announces that the attempt in Vienna to defraud him by means of a telegraphic order to aend atocka and money waß only aucceesfnl to the amount of about 3000 marks. A new inanrance company is being or ganized here by a body of responsible men, mainly jewelers, to inenre mem bers against losses at tbe hands of burglars. Tbe capital of the new com pany ia £2,000,000, of which 26 per cent will be paid np. The United States ambassador. Hon. Theodore B. Runyon, and Mre. Runyon gave a dinner today to the members and wives of the English and American em bassies, all of whom attended, including tbe British ambassador, Sir Edward Melt and lady. The cold weather causes the greatest misery in many quarters of the city, and additional shelters have been opened for the accommodation of 2000 more peop'e who receive bread free. The ther mometer hae fallen aince yeaterday, and there seems to be no prospect for an immediate break in the extremely cold weather. The Reichsanzeiger prints a letter from Caprivi written in reply to resolu tions of the Conservative association, in which the chancellor aaya be is inclined to hear non-official opininna of experts in connection with the official inquiry which has been opened with a view to ascertaining opinions aa to measures desirable in order to raise the depre ciated value of silver. A PERILOUS RIDE. An Illinois Central Switchman's Bands Frozen to a Chain For Two Miles. John H. Morris, an Illinois Central switchman, rode two miles early yester day morning hanging to a chain bcueath the tender of an Illinois Central engine drawing a passenger train. By the mer est chance he is now alive to tell the story. A few minutes before 3 o'clock, Mor ris, who lives at Burnside, stood on the platform of the station at Kensington. A passenger train which had been belat ed by tbe cold and snow stopped at the station. Morris, as the train was mov ing out, attempted to swing himself to the front platform of the first car. He slipped on the icy steps and fell between the car and tender. As he fell in the darkness his hand strnck a chain dan gling down beneath the tender. He clung to the cold iron links and hung there, expecting death momentarily. The roar of the train drowned his cries for help, and as the train gathered headway its swaying set his body in motion, and he was swung violently against tho sides of the tender until his body was terribly bruised. After running two miles the train stopped. He wae just able to attract at tention by a few feeble cries and was rescued from his perilous position. His hands were frozen to the iron and his in juries from the cold and the pounding against the sides of the tender were so great that ho relapsed into unconscious ness as soon as rescued. He was takon to St. Luke's hospital, where at first it was thought he might die, but he re vived later iv the day and his recovery became assured before nightfall.—Chi cago Times. Lights Oat. Washington, Jan. 6.—Capt, Lonis E. Fagan of the United States marine corps, retired, is dead. Fulton, Mo., Jan. 6.— J. H. Reed, who commanded the third Missouri Vol unteer* during the war, died today, aged 71, CHEAP FLOUR, DEAR BREAD. s Some Thinga Which Puzzle the Average Cltiaen of St. Louie. In view of the great reduction of the price of flour within the last year, a great many people have wondered why bread continues to be sold for 5 rents a loaf and the' loaf not perceptibly in creased. The reduction in the price of flour between Dec. 1, 1892, and Nov. 29, 1898, according to the official quota tions was as follows: Patent, last year, $3.35 and $8.55; this year,s?.9s and $3.10. Extra fancy, last year. $3.05 and $3.15; this year, $2.65 and $2.75. Fancy, last year, $2.50 and $2.60; this year, $2.2oand $2.30. Lower grades, last year, from $3 to $2.35, and about the same at present. Now, these are the prices at which bak ers and retailers buy flour, and while reasonable people do not expect to derive the whole of an advantage that amounts to almost 25 per cent, they do expect to get some benefit in the increase in size of loaves. Such advantage has not been theirs. On the contrary, while the loaves have not increased in size or the price been reduced, many householders declare that never before have the poor qualities in the commercial bread been so con spicuous. The only explanation that the bakers and flour dealers can give is the reduced sales of flour in large lots. The bakers say that since the reduc tion people have taken to baking their own bread to an extent not hitherto known to the trade since commercial bread became the fashion. This prac tice of making bread at home has large ly reduced sales to retailers, and while the latter get some reduction in price they say that the decrease in the sales has been so great that they cannot afford to share that advantage with their cus tomers. But this does not explain tho almost universal poor quality of the bread at the present time, and the gro cers are silent when they are questioned npon the subject.—St. Louis Republic. THE SPORTS FEEL BLUE. PROSPECTS FOR THE MITCHELL CORBETT MILL DIMINISHING. Work on tho Arena Pushed in the Face of Gloomy Oircumatanoee— Jim Mere Glory. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 6. —A story was current today that Corbett had written a letter to Mitchell offering to forego the pnrse and meet him in pri vate in case tbe contest could not be pulled off. A telegram is received from Mitchell denying that Corbett had written such a letter, and when the story was sifted, it developed that Corbett had told Bowden he was so anxious to fight the Englishman that he wonld meet him in a room for no thing, either with gloves or bare knuckles. Tbe truth seems to be that the determined opposition of Governor Mitchell bas taken tbe heart out of tbe fighters and promoters of tbe contest. The club ie still talking about bringing the right off on time. Corbett and Mitchell are said to be training, but the majority of the people here do not be lieve the contest will be allowed in Flor ida, at least not publicly. If Corbett and Mitchell get together they will have to meet secretly, so secretly tbat tbe governor wili not know they have fought l until the newspapers so announce. AH the talk about the club bringing pressure to bear on the governor to get bim to "let up" in his opposition, is considered the veriest rot. There was a story floating around that the scene of contest wonld be trans ferred to Cuba. It is said H. B. Plant, largely interested in Florida railroads, and who also controls a steamship line from Tampa to Havana, had offered to provide all tbe necessary transportation for a large crowd to Havana, provided Corbett and Mitchell would consent to meet there. This is a sample of the stories floating around, and all have more or less fake about tbem. It is apparent that the continual talk and uncertainty has already disgusted a great many people. The training of both Corbett and Mitchell is going on as usual. Visitors at their quarters are increasing in num ber,aud sport inn men are beginning to ar rive. The governor addressed a message to the Methodist conference at Palatka, thinking tbem for tbeir support in his stand against the battle. He says he shall continue his present position. Tbe Duval Athletic club people, however, persist iv their statements that tbe con | test will come off as advertised, j and a few bets are being made to that effect. The club is continuing ito push tbe work of arrangements, and it looks as if they bad some good grounds upon which to base tbeir opinions. SAD CASE OF STARVATION. A Father Steals a Sack of Flonr, Which Hia Family Devours Raw. This little story, whose sadness is not wholly sad, comes from a western city which has suffered severely during the present financial stringency. A grocer in one of the poorer quarters of the town was accosted one day by a man who asked if he would let him have a sack of flour and trust him for pay ment until he found work again. Tho grocer refused. Going out to the front of his shop v few minutes later, he found the man no longer in sight, and one of the sacks of flour piled up outside was missing. Summoning the nearest po liceman, he described the man and his application. "I think I know who he is," said the officer. "I'll have him for you in a jiffy." Ou arriving at the house of the man whom from the description he suspected of the theft, the policeman walkel in without knocking. The telltale sa f flour was standing on a table in the ter of the room, and the family c gathered around it. They had not ed to untie, much less to cook it, t armed with spoons had fallen raven s ly upon the sack, and making holes in the sides were eating the dry flour. The man turned white to his lips at the sight of the officer. , The policeman looked and hesitated. Suddenly a bright idea occurred to him. "Does John Smith livo here?" The man shook his head. "Do you know where ho does liver No one knew. "That's all right. Perhaps I can find , nit next door. It's John Smith I want ." .md the officer of tbe law- Ke turning to tho grocery, he asked the price _>f the flour, paid it and related thescene "And I will be d d," he concluded lowering his voice reverentially, as might one who had trodden unawares upon sa ored ground, "if I urn going to arrest that man!" —Kete Field's Washington An Observant Mlchlgander'a Discovery. "Did yon ever notice," said M. B. Church of Grand Rapids at the Nor mnndie, "that the Washington monu ment has the exact dimensions of an ocean steamship? It has. It is 550 feet long and 55 feet at tho base. Just com pare these figures with those of the lead ing Atlantic liners, and you will find that they are just about the same— length 10 times the beam and depth.
