Who Wouldn't Osgood The One Price Clothiers, 606 and 50U COMMERCIAL St. Valentine's Vows. "A valentine when rightly done, Slight of sincerity should savor, And mostly be composed of fun, With just a sentimental flavor." Prithee pret'y maiden will yon marr? me? So speaks the spirit of the day set apart to his Valentinian Saintship. So whispers youth into the listening ear of youth, and so will until youth's oppressor, age, has put by the St. Valentine of the present among the faded pictures of the past.

OUKWOX, PI LIL ABDICATES She Does it for the Best Inter est of Her Followers. EVIDENCE " IS AGAINST HER. When Arrested, Arms Found in Her ' Honie.-All Ready for Restoration. Associated Frees. San Francisco, Feb. 6. The steamer Australia brings advices from Hono lulu dated January 30th, which slate that ex-Queen LUluokalanl, of Hawaii, has voluntarily abdicated in favor of the republic. She says she takes thic step partly for the sake of the mis- guided Hawaiian:), who recently en gaged in the rebellion against tiie re public in an attempt to restore her tc the throne. Sne disclaims a ueoiie tc avoid punishment by tne declaration, yhe asks for executive clemency l'oi the rebels, and says she wants to live in absolute privacy hereafter. Tiie sentences of Wilcox and several othei rebels convicted of treason by the mili tary court which was still in session, was not pronounced wiien the steamei sailed. Martial law is still maintained The government answered the ex queen's letter stating that abdication could not exempt her from personal and individual liability for conspiracy. Evidence of a very damaging char acter 'has been piled around ex-ljuten Lilluokauanl, and ahe was arrested on a military warrant on the ltiili Inst, yhe was escorted to the executive man sion and confined In a room where she now remains under guai'd. Her house was searched and resulted In finding 34 rifles, 11 pistols, several swords, a large amount of cartridges, and 21 dynamite bombs. A number of dam aging papers were found. They show ed that LUluokalanl was certain of res toration, as she even went so far as to (have a new cabinet made out. Rob ert W. Wilcox, leader of the rebellion, was to be minister1 of foreign affairs. Governors for the different Islandn were selected, a new constitution pre parjd, and in fact, everything was In readiness for restoration. Arrests foi treason have been numerous. The queen's abdication was not un expected. In many quarters it is look ed upon as a ruse to secure clemency When she appears before the mill'ary court now sitting. It Is not generally considered that she Is sincere In mak ing the protestation. While the confession of John Cu Ti mings, one of the rebels, seems to Im plicate Rudolph Spreckela as the one who furnished arms to the lnnurrcc. tlonlsts, the government docs not sem to have strong proof of the fact. Among the ex-queens papers which were seized by the government were found memoranda In which she says Spreckels advised the use of arrrs, but that she was doubtful about adopt ing such de.iperate measures. Amor? her notes was also reference to the appointment by her of a commission to go to Washington and see President Cleveland. J, O. Carter, the ex-queen's counsel Joe, advised arbitration, and when young Spreckels advised force, she said she thought the arbitration plan would please President Cleveland better, re garding the purchase of arms It li the Impression that youns Spreckels did not purchase the arms hlmsrir. but simply advanced money on the queen's account, and that the arms were purchased by some one else. It 1 known that the court martla! has passed the death sentence on some of the rebels, presumably Wilcox, Ber tleman, Nowlen, Guthck, Walker, Da vles, Rlckard, and sentences for Iff'. Imprisonment for many others. These decisions have been handed to Presi dent Dole for final Judgment, and he will decide whether or not they Bhali be carried out THE HAWAIIAN CABLE. It Is Discussed In the Senate but not Settled. Washington, Feo. . The Hawaiian question In general, and the Hawaiian calble in particular, were the main Items before the senate today. The diplomatic and corjular appropriation bill was taken up and would have been quickly disposed of except for an item df $500,000 for immediately be ginning cable construction between the United States and Hawaii. Hills made a point of order against t!:e ca ble proposition whldh is likely to rule It out, tmt a decision was withheld until the ewiators could further de bate the Hawaiian question. Hale ad dressed the senate in favor of cable connection with Hawaii. "Anrexetlon of Hawaii Is sure to come, cabl or no cail," said Ha!e. The senator soke of the efforts of Hreat Bri'tln to build the Hawaiian cable, and r'i'' we should not permit a foreign power to get this advantage. Vest and Palnr THURSDAY JIOkNING, er ankcd the cost of erectlnj the ca ble. Hale said the total cost of the cable would be $2,600,000. Teller said "I will predict that the next admin lstratlon, be It Democratic, Republl can. or Popullstlc, will see to itt that the Hawaiian 'Islands are a part of this republic, oind that the flag of the United tSates floats over them as It dots over us." A PREACHER ROI1BKR. He Holds Up an East Portland Bajik "Cashier. Portland, Feb. (). Shortly after noon today a man entered the First Na tional bank of East Portland and pre senting a revolver in the face of Cashier E. T.

It was a beauti ful afternoon, the bright warm sun shine making the air as mellow as on a summer's day. As the long line of people slowly ascended the hillside, the Are department bell tolled at In tervals till the grave was reached.
