They Have Trained Sharpshooters and Well Drilled Companies but Expect no Trouble. Washington, Nov. 16. Close secrecy la still maintained by the state depart' ment. ' Readers of the Associated Press dispatches can reasonably rely on the accuracy of their statements. Willis Is instructed to use all his powers of persuasion to Induce the provisional government to consent to retire In favor of the queen. He will try to in duce the queen to grant amnesty to all the revolutionists and will seek to Induce the members of the present government to accept office under the queen, but will not employ force to se cure the attainment of his purpose without further instructions from this government.' It is learned that the forces of the provisional government of Hawaii, though small, are well organized and disciplined, and most of them sharp shooters. It is said 2,000 picked men are provided with arms at Honolulu and enrolled In drilled companies. They have been trained for two months past as a safe guard against any royalist uprising in the Islands. These corn- panes are made up of white men, large ly. Eight rapid firing guns are in cluded in the militia, the equipment being Winchester rifles. This force would be superior to what the men-of-war at Honolulu could put ashore. But no one seems to believe that any resistance will be made should the ma rines actually be landed. Upon being asked b an Associated Press reporter for his opinion upon the attitude of the present administration towards, Hawaii, Senator Dolph said that he had fully outlined his position upon the subject in his speech in the senate towards the close of the, 62nd congress, Boon after the receipt of the news of the revolution in Hawaii, in which he advocated annexation. "The present government of Hawaii," he con tinued, "is an existing government, recognized by foreign powers, and it would appear as though any attempt, to overthrow it would be an act of hostility on the part of the administra tion towards a friendly government, unexampled In our history, and un warranted by the constitution." San Francisco, Nov. 16. Congressman Loud was interviewed today regarding the impressions he received on a recent trip to Honolulu which he took for the purpose of studying the annexation question. "I arrived in Honolulu," said Congressman Loud, "a few days after Commissioner Blount got there. . He went down there with the idea that he had the weight of the United States on his shoulders. His investigation, I have no doubt, took a very narrow range. There is no doubt of the high character of the provisional govern ment The men at the head of it would command respect anywhere. The bus iness community is practically united in support of the present government Should a republican president make a demand that Lilloukalanl be re-established on the throne, I would say that he would be impeached by public sen timent in the United States, if not by congress. Should the queen be res tored by force, she certainly would be deposed again, unless a show of force is maintained. Naturally, my senti ments as an American, incline me, to favor annexation." OF INTEREST TO SAILORS. San Francisco. Nov. 16. The ship owners' association today commenced a new deal in shipping sailors for coasting vessels, and from present ap pearances it is likely that considerable benefit will result, not alone to sailors, but to woners of vessels. Briefly told, the plan is to secure for coasting ves sels the very beBt sailors that can be obtained. Men will be rated according to the work that they perform, and if they prove acceptable sailors, they are crmpensated not only In wages, but given rank which Insures their speedy employment on other vessels. STILL THEY COME. Washington, Nov. 16. A woman claiming to be a niece of Queen Victo ria called at the Whit- House this morning and asked to see the presl dent. BANK OF ENGLAND TROUBLE. London, Nov. 16. The Bank of En gland officials continue to maintain si lence regarding rumors of bad finan ciering upon Its part It is stated on Rood authority, however, that the bank's connection with bad financiering Is practically limited to its transactions In Mouth America and the Mexican company, which has been ventilated in the courts, and. in fact that there the It regularities have been confined to al lowing favored customers to substitute less desirable wnrmi for thor.e vpan which money was originally lent London, Nov. 16. The Dally Tele graph, In Its financial article this morn' lng, Bays:, "The stated total loss to the Bank of England through Chief Cashier Mays by advances on unsound securities, will not exceed $100,000. There Is no reason to expect that there will be any important reduction In the neat dividend. . SIBERIAN REFUGEES. I . . TVcago, Nov. 16. There will be a j d fight for the release of the ten .Muerlan refugees jailed at San Fron c!sco. The Society of Americans for Russian 'Freedom have engaged able counsel to go to San Francisco and defend the prisoners. J. A. Hourwich, professor of political economy, of the University of Chicago, and a gifted lawyer, is one of these. Other attor neys are of this city. Hourwich is a Russian, familiar with the methods of his government, and has an authentic list of 500 political exiles of Siberia. It the prisoners In San Francisco are nam ed on this list, it will be, in counsel's Judgment, a sjfflclent demand for their release. If not, it is hoped the pris oners will be identified by prominent Russians in this country. The Lloyd Garrison, of Boston, and various other Russian societies of the United States and England, are co-operating with the defense. WHOLESALE MURDER. An Italian .Kills His Wife," His Cous ins, and Himself. Omaha, Nov. 16. A special to ' the Bee from . Deadwood, South Dakota, Fays: . "One of the most horrible trage dies "known In the history of the Block Hills occurred at r.oon today In Saw Fit gulch, two. miles west.

Associated Press. ' Washington, Nov. 16. The New South sounded a warning In the wayB and means committee this morning. Rep resentatives of manufacturing interests of Alabama and Tennessee made an Informal argument before the demo cratic members of the committee. As delegations were present, also democrat ic In politics, the conference was ami cable until n;ar the close, when the chief spokesman of the Southerners l.rcadly intimated that if iron ore, coal, lumber, rice, and sugar all be placed cn the free list, "democrats of the South might cease to kiss the hand that smitst them." W. G. Bush, pres ident of tha Mobile nnd Birmingham railroad, and also of the Clifton Iron company, protested against the Injus tice of placing Iron ore or coal on the free list. "In case of free ore, would you be distressed by It, and where would it come In competition with you?" replied Wilson. "We would be cut out of sale of any Iron In Eastern states. The effect would be to restrict our market to the South. In the East we would have to meet the low competlon of Cuban Indian Span ish ore. If this committee as report ed," continued he, "Is to put lumber, rice and sugar, coal and Iron ore on the free list, then the South might aa well give up, as It will be the death blow to Southern prosperity. ' We are democrats from principle," concluded Bush, "and do not expect lo suffer In the house of our friends. If we do, ,lho natural question to ask Js, how lontf will we continue to kiss the hand that smites us."
