Squadron will be t Once Despatched to Honolulu to Protect Our Interest. Asaoclatea Press. Washlnifton, Jan. 31. The discussion of the Hawaiian question at the cabinet meeting today was informal, "and there beln? nothing before the body for its coa slden.tlon, no action was taken. The mat ter of the Reception of the commissioners of the Hawaiian provisional government concerns only the president nnd secretary of state, with whom their business must be transacted. There Is seemingly no preparation being made at the navy de partment for sending vessels to Honolulu to support the Boston. . The statement that 900 marines would be sent to Hono lulu on the Bteamer Mariposa, lacks con firmation. The flying squadron consisting of the cruisers San Francisco, Atlanta, and Charleston, and the gunboat York town, are expected at Barbadoea in . a" few days and they can easily be reached there by telegraph if It is decided to send nny of the to Honolulu. . . " J San Francisco, Jan. 31. A special meet ing of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce was held today, to "'consider the question of annexation of Hawaii, Resolutions were adopted urging the United States government to prompt nc. ceptance of the proposed cession and re questing that the naval forces at Hono lulu be augmented. Washington, Jan. 31. Representative Stanford of New York, today offered the following resolution: "Resolved -that the sense Of this body Is that the time has come when the pres ervatlon and cxtenolon of our commerce and the upholding of our flag demand prompt action by this government toward the Immediate annexation of the Hawa iian Islands to the United States." Salem, Or., Jan. 31. A resolution In far vor of annexation of the Hawaiian islands to 'the United States Was adoptad In both houses this afternoon. London, Jan. 31. It is learned on the best of authority that the British govern ment has not Instructed he British min ister to the United States Pauncefote to protest against American interference in Hawaii, as Great Britain does not expect that the United States will take any step o which Great Britain would be likely to object. Washington, Jan, 31. The senate today took up Chandler's resolution requesting the president to transmit to the senate nny convention he may make with the prcvislonal government of Hawaii, and Chandler proceeded to discuss It. Dolph made a long statement on the subject, giving the details as to population, com merce, etc. of the islands and favoring annexation. BRITISH PARLIAMENT OPENED. Gladston Takes His Otth of Office a ' Prime Minister. London, Jan. 31. The queen opened par lioment today and Gladstone took the oath of office as prime minister. Touching upon the question of home rule, for Ireland, Lord Salisbury said one object of the government during the past six months had been to get the support of that class of men who hitherto no poli tician In England had tried to conciliate, The key note of the Irish policy of the government was supposed to get the sup port of the criminal classes. The prc-rog. atlve of the crown had been Ufjed to shield murderers and released dynamiters All acts of the government have caused the Impression that they were much more In sympathy with criminals than deslr ous of vlndcatlng the law. There was no country In the world, Lord Salisbury ad' ded, where property was now so insecure as in Great Britain in consequence of er roneous legtijlatlve action. In the house of commons this evening, notice that-Gladstone would introduce his home rule bll on Monday, elicited prolonged Liberal cheering. Balfour arose and amid a storm of opposition cheers, began in a sneering tone a general crit icism of the government In Us Egyptian policy. Balfour said among the causes of It undoubtedly were the rash utterances made by he prime minister and the chief secretary for Ireland when they were in the opposition. Balfour denounced . the evicted fenants commission. He demand ed that the home secretary should say whether he would not release Egan and Callan, the Irish dynamiters, as a part of the policy that it was intended should in volve the release of ail Irish dynamiters. Qlodstona was cheered loudly when he aroso to answer Balfour. He reproached Balfour for assailing with Inflammatory criticism a bill not yet Introduced and for doing his utmost to prejudice the minds of his followers against the plan of home rule, of which he was still Ignorant. REVOLVERS IN KANSAS, ' Topeka. Ka, Jan. 31. The republicans are wrought up to a hlsH state of excite ment by the rumor that the populists will attempt tomorrow to remove them from the hall by force. Eich republican has armed hlmeelf with a revovef and says he will ur It if the populists at temp resort to force. HORRIBLE SUFFE RI NoToH" SAILORfl. Hamburg.

The Island of Zante was shaken this morning by an earth quake and a panic ensued. In the town of Zante many houses were wrecked. The dome of the prison fell in and many prls cners were killed. Hundreds of people re injured and families fled from the twn, - i TERPSICHOREAN PERFORMANCES, Strange Ceremonies nit Home 'and .'' ' Abroad. . 'Of the dances of all times It may be said that they have, always been assocl ated with exuberant spirits, and this natural outburst of bodily activity, thinks the Boston Globe, may be attributed to either the excitement of the fight, of the, chase, or of a religious ceremony, or to: excessive delight. The Indians have loag been famous for their war dances, one of the most exciting of which is that practiced by the Sioux, and representing by pantomimic actions the attack upon and massacre of the Inhabitants of the neighboring village. The Cheyennee, too, execute a somewhat similar dance, the difference being that the attitudes through which they pass are supposed to describe a horse stealing raid. The Turk Is 'never so happy as when ho is prancing arout and flourishing his sword or gun, 'arid it bodes no good for the Turkish au thorities when a number of the people of Albania, Montenegro or Herzegovina break out Into a war dance .When this occurs steps are always Immediately taken to suppress their buoyant spirits for fiear the atrltatlon would sp.-uil throughout the country. There are a number of dances of the red Indians which, though regarded as perfectly se rious by the porformors themselves, und the rest of their tribe, appear absolutely ridiculous to the civilized onlookers. The buffalo dance, for Instance, Is supposed to represent a grand hunt. One of the braves fixes the skull and horns of a buffalo on his head and skips about as the others try to catch him, dancing the while. Then there is the snake dance of the Moquls, the scalp dance of the Sioux, Apaches and Cheyennes, the rain dance of the Blnckfeet, and the ghost dunce, which was the main cause of the Indian rising In th Northwest a year or two ago. On the occasion of a young Sioux being admitted into the ranks of the braves a sun dance Is executed, during which the newcomer under goes the most frightful tortures In order to test his efficiency as a warrior. Notwithstanding the rapid ad vance of civilization In Ausralia, the ab originals still continue to perform a kan garoo dance, In which the chase of that animal Is accurately depicted from the start to the finish by moans of dumb show. The hare dance of Siberia and the cstrlch dance of Africa are eclipsed by the one In which two Siamese fall upon their hands and knees and furiously at tack each other, fully convinced for the time being that thty are elephants, while the onlookers dance around. The Hin doos accompany nearly every religious ceremony with furious dancing, and, In fact, go absolutely out of their minds on some occasions. The most notorious re ligious fanatics, howver, are the whirl ing Dervishes, the Mohammedan priests, who spin around on their feet for hours at a time without experiencing nny in jurious effects. A ecarccly less marvel ous dunce, -though one not of a religious nature, is that known as the egg dance. performed by the young women of Bho pal, India. Upon the head of the dancer is placed a large wheel of wlckerwork, from the sides of which at equal dis tances apart,, hang threads with slip knots. In her hand she carries a basket of eggs, and her object Is to insert an egg In each slipknot while th strings are ex tended out all around by means of hor rapid circular motion. TMn done, and the more delicate task of returning the eggs to her buFkot successfully completed, the dance ends. REELS, TARANTELLAS, BOLEROS. Scotland may truthfully be said to have produced the most unique of all national dances, for, while no trouble has been ex perienced by the Inhabitants in this and othr countries In performing the quad rilles of Belgium, the Waltz of Germany and the polka of Hungary, there Is no one on earth who can dance -the Scotch reel . t K 1 . ii naa .ml DMK, 11' i 1 1, U' Vl ( M H I, 4 U . ...v. i. wi.,m ,i,.. dance which most nearly approaches Its unique character Is the Italian taran tella, which has attained notoriety more ua I u T ,T , ; Vi" attached to its origin Iran by the actual . 7 . .v.. a ..,. ni,- ,., features of the dance itself. The story runs that cany in tury a superstition the lifteanth cen- ,la arose among the, Italians that whoever was bitten by tarantula spider would go out of his mind, ( and that the -. for this j form of madness was constant sna furl-1 ous dicing. As a matter of fact tho to-' spot It spread all over Ita'y In a very . short spaU of time. The music was good. but the actions of the dunccrs were Sim-, ply those of men and women In a violent ! ... , ,.,,,., .,, , , S r-danVo. and that .f PoUuTd i tho polonaise. The Irishman claims the , Jig for bis personal d-lcc.atlon, and the !- rZ....-. ,r,. ,h Frenchman assorts that the minuet, the favored dance of his forefathers, Is st'li without a rival. England has no national dance, unless we can cll F.Ir Hosier do Covcrly by that name. The rarllwt refer-en-e to dariclnsr occurs fn the bible. In the soegs ef Miriam the prophetess, who "took a timbrel In her hand, nnd nil tho women went out after her with timbr-! arj danced." In the tari" chrlrt.'un churches rracs were provided for dano-,-s, but tw? prrx'tlte of da :clr:g durl-g the nerv'.ce soon f?ti Into disfavor and was discontinued.

' The fortifications appropriation bill whs taken up, Dolph took the floor and con tinued his speech which was b'-gun tlilv morning on the subject of the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands. He yielded tem porarily to permit notices to be given oi memorial services, and then wont on with rending his speech which wun rr.oM ly devoted to the question of the Nlcu rugua ship canal, It having been original ly prepared as an argument in favor u,' the pending bill on that subject. j In the house today when tho paragraph in tho sundry civil service bill making appropriation for a building for the It: brury of congress was reached, Kiilu-1 democrat, moved an amendment provid ing that preference be given to horn ever foreign products when the material was of equally good quality, and the lmm production was offered at equal or lower price. Cogkswcll, republican, of Macau chiusetts, hoped that the ' amendim-n: would be adopted because It Involved such good republican protective doctrine. The amendment was adopted.- . r Bland of Missouri, gavo notice that h would demand In the house a yea and nay vote on the amendment as It was plain to him that a democratic house that wn ; opposed to protection, should not put it self on record as being In favor of Ten nessee marble and in opposition to Ital ian mtrble.
