WILL THEY FIGHT?
Provisional Government of the
Islands Well A) T ;
"TO PREVENT ROYAL UPRSi ''.'
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

Rood authority, however, that the

London, Nov. 16. The Dally Tele

Cashier Mays by advances on unsound
securities, will not exceed $100,000. There
Is no reason to expect that there will

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.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR QUARREL.
Philadelphia, Nov. 16. The row in
the rankft of the Knights of Labor was
continued with' great bitterness today
and tonight. No evidences of amicable
settlement are apparent. Bitter ad
dresses were made by A. W. Wright
and John Devlin, of the general board,
disclaiming Hayes' charges. Wright
accused Hayes of having a false sys
tem of book-keeping, and said if any
unlawful expenditures were made it
was owing to that fact He intimated
that Hayea had been carried away gy
his enmity to Powderly to the extent
of deliberately falsifying the accounts
so as to mislead delegates. Tomorrow

in a heavy and increasing wind. She
attained a speed of 22.3-4 knots, and

Southerners Want No Tariff
Reform.
VIGOROUS PROTESTS ARE MADE
Strong: Arguments are Presented to
the Committee by Southern
Democrats.
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."
It Is said that Senator White, of
Louisiana, will oppose vigorously the
tax on sugar and abolition of the sugar
bounty. He asserts that to fix the
policy which Is being formulated will
disrupt the democratic party.

They aro safe because they contain no
deleterious drugs and are manufactured

They are sure because nothing goes '

vnctly adapted to the purposes for
which a plaster Is required. They are
speedy In their action because their
