Still the Topic of All Absorb
ing Interest.
WHAT WAS THE CIPHER MESSAGE?
Gxeshain aud cieveland Have an
Important Conference
about it.
Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 13. The state de-
artment today received a communica
tion from Honolulu telegraphed from
San Francisco writen to the navy de
partment In cipher. Securing the sub
stance of this official communication.
Secretary Gresham took a copy to
Woodley for a conference with Presi
dent Cleveland. Nothing Is given out
as to the substance of the dispatch.
The plan of the Hawaiian representa
t4ves is evidently to stand rigidly for
the rights they have acquired and for
recognition for their government. Con
gress will undoubtedly take up the
Hawaiian question Immediately upon
assembling In December. A fight. It js
said, will be made against the admin
istration policy on the ground that it.
has declared war without the consent
of congress. If the present govern'
ment yields peacefully to the position of
the American minister, the question
involved is whether so peaceable a
proceeding could be regarded as an act
of war. It Is argued that it would be
an act of aggresBlon on a sovereign
power none the less because that power
peacefully yielded to a threat of an
overwhelmingly superior force. - The
surmise in Washington Is that the res
toration of Queen LllloukalanI may not
be followed by the entire withdrawal
of the influence of the United States,
but with the work of the last admin
istration once over, a protectorate may
be established over the monarchy. One
clear and certain result of the present
lncldentwould Beem to be that annex'
atlon will never be proffered the United
States by Hawaiians again.
San . Francisco, Nov. 13. Associated
Press correspondence from Honolulu
under date of November 7, says that up
to the time the steamer left, Minister
Willis had not made known to the
provisional government his instructions
fioift President Cleveland, consequently
there was no disorder of any kind.
When th esteamer left preparations
were being made for the presentation
of Willis' credentials. There is no
doubt that he is accredited to the pro
visional government. The next steamer
leaves Honolulu on November 11th
It is the opinion of passengers who
arrived here this morning on the steam
er China, from Honolulu, that the an
nexationists will make no resistance if
the United States orders the queen put
back, but that this government will
have to keep a force of men constantly
on shore to maintain, her on the throne,
and that will practically amount to an
nexatlon, with the singular anomaly
of a territory of the United States gov
erned by a woman who calls herself a
Queen.
Washington, Nov. 13. Ofllclals of the
navy department say that they have
no news by the steamer that arrived
at San Francisco. Gresham." declines
to discuss the situation. Some expres
slons of Minister Thurston are said to
have given offense to the admlnlstra
tion, and there is a rumor about that
the Hawaiian representatives will have
their exequaturs demanded. At all
events their position Is an anomalous
one, representing as they do a govern
ment which the United States is will
ing to see deposed.
New York, Nov. 13. A correspondent
at Honolulu says that the provisional
government expects to be able, to. per
petuate Itself till the next presidential
election in the United States, when it
Is expected that annexation will be an
Issue and will win.
Washington, Nov. 13. A special says
that it has Just been discovered that
a plot fo overthrow the Hawaiian King
dom was hatched In Washington last
winter. The correspondent says that
there is reason to believe that the plot
received the sanction of the Harrison
administration.
ONE KIND OF ARGUMENT.
Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 13. At the
session of the Methodist Missionary
Society today on account of the recen
silver legislation and the consequent
depression In certain circles, the ap
proprlxtion for Western mining states
is not so largely reduced as in other
portions of the country.
AN INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
Washington, Nov. 13. The commis
sioner of the general land office has
ordered Inspector Carmichael to Inves
tigate the appraisement of lots of the
townsite of Port Angeles, Washington.
Many occupants have protested against
the appraisement as unequal.
- The treasury department has ruled
that whenever an owner of exhibits at
the World's Fair upon which duty has
been paid shall desire to transfer them
to the Midwinter Exposition at San
Francisco, the duty may be refunded
by the collector at San Francisco upon
the exportation thence of the exhibits
so transferred.
BIG FLOODS IN JAPAN.
Several Hundred Persons Killed and
, Much Property Destroyed.
San Francisco, Nov. 13. Yokohama
advices say that severe floods occurred
in Japan last month. In Okyama,
whefe the floods wrought the most des
truction, 141 persons are known to have
perished, and 100 more are missing;
1346 houses were washed away, and a
great number of horses and cattle killed
From other points, 448 persons are
reported killed, ' 475 ships and boats
wrecked, and great damage done to
farming lands. Multitudes are receiv
ing aid from the local government.
NEATLY CAUGHT. '
The jArm of the Law Was Too Long
ror 'mem.
London, Nov. 13. Philip Schieg, the
defaulting paying, teller of the Bank of
Minneapolis, and Frank Floyd, his ac
complice, were arrested at Southampton
tonight on board the steamer from
New York. Mr. Gilllg, of the Bank of
Minneapolis, Identified the men. Schieg
and Floyd made violent reslstence to
the arrest, and Schieg tried to use his
revolver. Two revolvers were taken
from each man. They were handcuffed
and locked up In Jail. They will be
brought to London tomorrow. The
baggage of the men Is supposed to con
tain the bulk of the stolen money. It
has been seized.
1 ;,ALTG ELD'S EFFRONTERY.
Makes Statements that His Own Acts
' Contradict.
Springfield, 111.,' Nov. 13. Governor
AHpeld was asked today if It was true
th.il one of the conditions of the par
tfoif of Flelden, Neebe and Schwab was
hat they should make no anarchistic
speeches in future, and he replied: "In
granting pardons, I did so because
thought the men were not guilty of
the crime for which they were sentenc
edi -and I placed no conditions upon .the
pardons. You may say that there are
no anarchists In the state of Illinois;
not one. If the newspapers would stop
talking anarchy the matter would nev
er be heard of again. The laboring men
have a right to their own views on all
matters, and are entitled to express
them. This Is conceded by all our citi
zens." AFTER MANY YEARS.
One of the Suspected Murderers Living
in Oregon.
Centralla, 111., Nov. 13. The McClel
land Pond myBtery Is under Investiga
tion in this city. The general lmpreti
slon is that the murders were com
mitted about 12 years ago, and the
bodies burled and staked down in the
pond by relatives of the victims. There
is no doubt about the identity of Alex.
McClelland and his son Oscar, who
have not been seen or heard of since
1881. The developing of the Investiga
tion shows that more than one person
was interested In the crime. A brother
of the deceased senior McClelland, now
living In Oregon, made threats against
the deceased. He owed this brother a
large sum as security for a debt The
brother left here soon after the last
appearance of the deceased. Excite
ment runs high. Thousands of people
are here to hear the testimony.
OREGON WILL BE THERE.
A Scheme for Representation at the
Midwinter Fair.
Portland, Or., Nov. 13. Geo. T. My
ers, president of the Oregon World's
Fair commission, has addressed a letter
to hold-over senators and other promi
nent men in the state outlaying a plan
for raising money to give Oregon a
creditable exhibit at the Midwinter
Fair. There is about $20,000 unexpend
ed from the World's Fair appropriation
but this must by law revert to the
treasury. Mr. Myers' plan is to form
a corporation with a capital of $15,000
In shares of $10 each, bearing interest
The shares will then be offered for
popular subscription, based on the sug
gestion that so much of this unexpend
ed appropriation as may be necessary
to meet the expenses of the proposed
Oregon exhibit at the Midwinter Fair
can be appropriated by the legislature
for this purpose.
THEY WANT DAMAGES.
Washington, Nov. 13. The British
ambassador has entered into negotia
tions with Secretary Gresham for a

San Francisco, Nov. 13. Senator John
H. Mitchell, of Oregon, arrived In this
city this morning from Portland. Sen
ator Mitchell has positive views on the
Hawaiian question. In an Interview he
raid that ha .thought the government

dent Cleveland's Intentions had as
tounded him, and In his opinion, the

a decided mistake. On general Amer

a weak one, and represented a backing
cown on the part of the United States
government. The senator also express
