The steamer Alameda arrived today, and brings ad vices rrom the Hawaiian Islands as follows: Honolulu, Nov. 10. The main change In the political situation since the Auk tralla sailed has been one of Increased strain and greater business depression Since his formal call to present his credentials. Minister Willis has not conmunicated officially with the gov ernment. The most significant happen Ing which has taken place occurred la3t Monday, when a committee of the American League, lately organised ns an auxiliary to the annexation club, called on the new minister. Minister Willis' answer to the committee's wel come has not yet leaked out, but the Associated Press Is able to give the following nearly, if not quite, verbatim veport of his reply. Willis said: "I am an ardent American, and I would like to see the stars and stripes waving over nu ine lsianas on me raclllc, or any other territory which would be bene ficial to the Uniced Eictos. I have ny instructions whl.-h I cannot divulge, This much I can fay, that the policy of the United States Is already formu lated regarding these islands and that nothing which can be said or done can avail now. I come as executive olllcer When the proper time arrives I shail act. 1 am sorry I cannot tell you when or how. Knowing the policy of the United States I could not have ae cepiea tne position of an executive officer had it been in conflict -with the principles I hold. Americans here will have nothing to regret. However wish to state positively that, any out side interference will not ty 'tolerated by the United States". The provisional government considers Minister Willis' remaiks as significant and from other Information obtained, it Is the general belief among Americans that a Un- ted States protectorate will be shortly established over the provisional gov ernment, with the understanding that a stable form- of government be organ ised thereunder within a limited per iod. In consequence of the strained condition of affairs, an extra guard of sharpshooters are stationed in the ex ecutive building. This morning Presl dent Dole paid a visit to the United States ship Philadelphia and was re celved with the national salute of twenty-one guns. Last Monday morn ing the ex-queen somewhat unexpect edly called upon Minister Willis, at the Legation. She remained at ' the Legation about twenty minutes. Min ister Willis has not returned the call. The ex-queeh's actions have created unfavorable comment. It Burpriried the royalists as well as the annexa tionists. Interviewed by an Associated Press correspondent. Just before the steamer sailed, Willis said 'that nothing would be done until he ogoln heard from Washington and that after the Ala meda left that any trouble precipitated on either side would be stopped at once by the United States forces. When his attention was called to a dispatch saying the ex-queen would be restoredi- he declined to express an opinion. It is believed hM- dispatches are a fake. The provisional govern ment declare they would be able to maintain the peace. AT WASHINGTON. The News Creates No Excitement Official Circles. In Washington, Nov. 23. There was a notable lack of excitement in the recep tion of the Hawaiian news today. A copyright letter from Honolulu was read to Gresham by nn Associated Press representative. At the portion where Willis Is reported to have said he would be glad to see the American flag over Hawaii and every other is land in the Pacific, the secretary said: "I don't believe that, even as subse quently modified by Willis with the ad ditional clause, 'under proper condi tions.' " The secretary said the min ister must have been incorrectly report ed. "Willis is a capable man," he said. "He ought not to have talked on that subject at all, and I don't believe he did." Upon reading the statement of Admiral Skerett, recalled for attending a ball given by the Annexation Club, Gresham said. "Absurd." Regarding the assertion that Willis said he would do nothing unUl hj heard further from the state department, he declined to say any Uiing. A statement reported as coming from the Philadelphia that some action is to be taken during the week following the departure of the Alameda la regarded as significant, tal lying as it doea with a well-defined rumor circulated in Washington on Tuesday that the queen was restored on that day. It is largely a day of speculation at the capital regarding the situation n Hawaii. It seems the re port which came by way of New Zea land that Cleveland is determined to restore the queen is a surprise to the administration. The manner in which Willis haa been performing his mission only adds more mystery to the altua- tlon. Theories and speculations are in dulged in ail the more because up to D:30 this afternoon it was denied at the state department that Willis made any communication to the department by the Alameda. It is 4elleved, 'howev., that some official information has been received, ,the nature of which It is lin possible o learn. The dispatches to day seem) to indicate to the adminis tration what they heretofore asserted that the, provisional government still stands because it feels lt is backed by moral support, and thus far Its act has been approved by this government, THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON. Washington, Nov. 23. When the As sociated PHeps Bulletin announcing that the Hawaiian queen had not been restored to the throne was shown to Secretary Gresham, he said: "That Is not surprising to me. I was not ex pectlng to hear by this steamer that she had been restored." i m TheNewReffulationsSnbmitted to Secretary Carlisle. THEIR VARIOUS PROVISIONS IDLE SPECULATION. ' V.'sl.i.iw.ton, Nov. 22. The theory is advanced that before the next steamer , i ! r::n:Uco the queen may have been restored, overthrown again, and a republic established. DISSATISFIED LABORERS.

Lagneau communicated to the Academle de Medeclne, recently, the concluding part of an interesting uta- ttNtlcal paper on he population of Tarls in which he proved that the extinc tion of families of Parisians proceeJn with extraordinary rapldty. A HV.le over 60.000 children are born annually In Paris, and the expectation of life at birth is 28.05 years. The population of Paris at the last census was 2,424,703, and M. Lagneau calculates thatv if not recruited from the country, the popula tion, at the end of one generation. would be reduced to 1,098,679, a dimin ution of more than one-third; at the end of a second it would have fallen to 1,190,000, at tho end of the third to 833,720, and so on. until at the end of the eighth generation la vllle leumlre would contain only 140,700. Probably the real figures would be even less fa vorable, for, as a matter of fnct, it Is almost Impossible to And a TarlKKn' whose ancestors for three generations have been Parisians.

James Cii.nille, In a lecture he gave for tho National Health Society, challungcd any one to produce a Londoner of the fourth generation, a challenge which was not, we Mlftve, taken up. The causes of this dying out of town populations ore. no doubt, complex; but M. Lagneau points out two which, in PaiiJ, at least, ore the most Important the enor mous mortality during the Arab year of life, and the very high death Tate from tuberculous diseases. This death rate appears to be twice as great in Paris as in London, and M. Lagneau appears to attribute a part of this dif ference at least to the less density of population on the surface in London.
