n:.!/./.Auns AND BLOCKADES. Sr. PAUL, Minn., Fob. 4.—At 9 o'clock Friday the signal-service, thermometer in St. Paul registered 28 degrees below zero, and it was growing colder at the rate of over a degree an hour. Therfe is not a ray of hope, either, iu the dispatches from points west and northwest of here. At Moorhead, Minn., at the same hour it was S4 below at Minnedosa, 38 below, and at Winnipeg, 4J below.

Train service all over the northwest is badly demoralized. The wind has blown from all points of the compass and railway cuts have been filled full. The Pelican Raiiids train was snowed in on the. prairie for thirty-six hours, and a number of passengers had to walk 10 miles to IVUcan Rapids through the drifts, with the mercury 30 degrees beloyv zero. Great Northern trains due here from the west are indefinitely late and all passenger trains from the icast are from two to four hours late. Freight is only taken subject to delay.

SO PROTECTORATE.

Undo Sam Must Have Absoluta Control in Hawaii.

THE ENVOYS REACH THE CAPITAL.

Ttify Ar© Authorized to Negotiate fo? Annexation Only—Ofiiclul Iteports J(M.'elvcl from Milliliter

Stevens.

THE SITUATION REVIEWED. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Hawaii's future will soon be decided The annexation commissioners sent by the provisional government have arrived. The state department has received the full report of Minister Stevens on recent events, while Commander Wiltse has forwarded to the navy department his report of the landing of the marines from the lioston.

No Protectorate.

The first thing cleared up is that there is no chance for a protectorate. The United States must take control of the islands absolutely or else leave them to the Intrigues of other nations. A joint protectorate with Great liritain and Germany would not under any circumstances be entertained, but it has been a question whether an exclusive protectorate by this country would meet the case. The question is answered in the. negative. The Hawaiian commissioners have no authority to treat for anything except admission to the union, and anything that is done must, be on this basis. Their proposition is specific and clear. Further than this, the tenor of Minister Stevens' advices is all against a temporary makeshift. He believes that the time has come when the United States, for its own sake and the sake of the islands, must give heed to the demand for annexation.

Aimexatlou or Nothing.

To-day the commissioners will have their interview with Secretary Foster, of the state department. Their official character will be established by Dr. Mott Smith, who has received his credentials from the provisional government continuing him as minister. Tins settles every diplomatic requirement. The commissioners wiM make their proposition of annexation, and in answer to the question which will be put to them whether they have any alternate proposition their answer will be that they are authorized to propose nothing but annexation. The administration now understands pretty thoroughly the exact situation that confronts it.

It Was a .Surprise.

There is one fact embodied in Minister Stevens' dispatch that puts a somewhat different aspect on his action than lias been derived from the press dispatches. This is nothing more nor less than the. point that the revolution was a complete surprise to the minister as well as the commander of the Boston. The minister left Honolulu on the Boston early in January for a visit to some of the other islands, without the idea that any trouble was impending. The Boston did not return to Honolulu .till January 14, and the minister says lie was very much astonished to find the country in a state of turmoil and excitement. The events of the next few days following the arrival of the Boston, however, culminated on the ISth in the dethronement of Queen Liiiuokalani.

The above information was received from an official of the state department, who explained its significance by saying it showed conclusively that the representatives had not started the revolutionary movement, and, in fact, were not on the ground until after it •was under full headway.

It Pleasea the rrcsldent.

While the minister's report is necessarily confidential and all its contents cannot be disclosed to the world at present, it is known that the president and the members of the cabinet before whom it was laid Friday are equally satisfied with it. No official protest has yet been received on behalf of the deposed queen, but it is stated that the minister in his report has something to say about the protest which was drawn up for her, in which she declared that she. submitted to the superior power of the provisional government, which had been backed by the United States, and would accept the conditions until this country disavowed the action of its minister, etc. The minister's report discusses this protest incidentally in describing the general situation and in explaining how he himself was absent on the Boston when the revolution actually began.

It is not likely, however, that the commission will see the president before Monday, as the secretary of state will want ample time to consider the propositions submitted to him for consideration by this administration. (Question* of Pollpy Discussed.

There was little discussion at the cabinct meeting Friday of the policy to be followed. The president preferred to wait until the Hawaiian commissioners had been formally presented to the state department. After they had been given the formal hearing the president will decide on what immediate course is desirous. There will be no undue haste in what he does, and an excess of caution will be shown. Yet there seems no probability of anything short of annexation, and when he transmits the fact to congress a recommendation looking to the acceptance of the proposition may be anticipated.

Suspicious of England.

The pacific tone of the comments in the English parliament is looked upon with some suspicion by officials here. Some of the more beligerent naval officers regard it as a big bluff and say that unless the United States wants to be caught napping we had better send the Monterey with the other available vessels from San Francisco to Honolulu at once. Otherwise we will find a British fleet there and in possession before an annexation treaty can be ratified. Others fear thai

England is holding aloof with the idea that, this government when it finds that England is not eager for the coveted islands will pursue its usual slow policy in diplomatic matters, and while America is hesitating about accepting the application for annexation Great Britain will step in and do it for us.

Speculating on a Contingency.

In view of the possibility of the administration not being able to make terms with the commissioners on the annexation question because of limited time, there IB much speculation as to the course to bo pursued by the administration in endeavoring to reach some, other form of agreement The power of the commission being limited to annexation, a failure to make terms with them would necessitate direct communication with the provisional government.. :1.

TO SUPPRESS HOOP-SKIRTS.

Hill Introduced tn the Minnesota legislature by Mr. Uleecker. ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 4.—The Min

nesota house of representatives was treated to a genuine sensation Friday in the shape of a bill prohibiting the manufacture or use of hoop-skirts within the borders of the North state. It provides a penalty for its violation of a fine of S2.'i or thirty days' imprisonment in the county jail. The resolution was referred to the committee on incorporations other than municipal. Mr. Bleeckcr. who introduced the resolution, said after adjournment: "The bill was introduced tn all seriousness The tooop-sklrt Is admitted to be a nuitjiuicc, and like any other nuisance should be abated tt possible.

Reports of a Frightful Riot in Bogota.

BATTLE BETWEEN POLICE AND MOB.

One Hundred Persons Killed aud I'lve Hundred Others Wounded— An III-Adi-lsed Newspaper Article the Cause.

MANY ARE SI.AIX.

PANAMA, Feb. 4.—There has been a serious riot in Bogota, which lasted two days. One hundred men were killed and 500 wounded. The riots are in no sense political. The trouble grew out of a publication in La Cristina of an article by J. Ignacio Gutierrez, a professor in a local Jesuit college, alleging widespread ingnoranje among the laboring classes.

Tho artisans rose en masse, and a mob of about 400 gathered about the house of Gutierrez, stoned the building and broke the windows and doors. The police remonstrated with the rioters, but they were driven away. They returned with reinforcements, and a collision occurred in which shots were exchanged. The police were victorious.

Another fight occurred later in the day, but the rioters were disparsed. Everything was quiet the next morning, but at 5 o'clock in the evening the workinginen gathered by thousands in San Victorino square, Las Cruces ward, and in the day public market. They overpowered the police, and for awhile were in full possession of the city. Newspaper offices were sacked and a general assault was commenced on the police barracks. The government called out the military, and after a sharp fight the mob was dispersed. The capital is still in a stale of siege, although it is officially announced that quiet has been restored. A strict local press censorship has been established.

TRADE REVIEW.

Fears Indulged lu for the Future—fttui. n«st» Interrupted by Storms. NEWVOHK, Feb. 4.—A review of

trade during the week warrants the following* conclusions: Actual business is surprisingly large for the season, and y*t f'-ars about ilie future are also large. Congressional uuccriulntios cause the fears, but the prosperity and needs of the people make business what. St is. and never before has the distribution of prod nets to consumers been larger than it has been thus far this year. Yet it is prot ably safe to say rarely il ever, rxcept in a time of p.r.k\ has business been more cautiously and conservatively "regulated. Mouetary uncertainties un» excused by the continued outgo ol iroJd, but the passage of the anti-option biil by the senate had no oGet on the markets as yeu

At Pittsburgh the glass trade is fair, but trade In Iron and its products vvea* Rusines?at Cleveland is fairly good, and at Cincinnati the demand for lumber extends the supply, and prospects are bright for tr, de in woolens General trade is improving at Indianapolis and at Detroit exceeds tl at of last year. At Chicago receipts of cured »u:ats and wheal arc more than three times those of last year, and considerable increase is seen In corn, cheese, oats and r.ve, while in hogs, lard and dressed beef the decrease is large. Trade at Milwaukee is increasing, though collections are retarded. The. storm checks retail trade In the region about Si. l.ouis. At Minneapolis and St. Paul trade is fair, and similar conditions appear at Kansas City, but at St. Joseph an Omaha trade is generally good and money in good demand. At Denver business Js fair, at Louisville prospects are rncouraging. at Nashville business is good, and at Knox* ville improving with money in better demand at Little Rock collections are slow, but at Mobile trade is satisfactory. Business at New Orleans is qnict. with money in good demand aud easy, cotton more active, sugar strong and trade in rice improving. While there is much cutting in rates by the railroads, and the movement has been greatly interrupted in tho west by severe storms, the volume of traffic astonishes managers. Trade in boots and shoes is active Prices for manufactured products in iron and steel are depressed beyond all precedent, but nevertheless the sales continue remarkably large and the volume of business greater than in any previous year.

While fj2,50J,000 gold has been ordered for shipment and the amount may be larger receipts from tho interior were so heavy that money markets were not disturbed and foreign exchange is slightly lower. Produce exports arc *10.000.000 less than last year since January 1 and there is also a decrease at cotton ports in suite of the advauce in prices. The uncertainty about the monetary future retards business engagements, but in other respects trade is most satisfactory and perhaps all the more safe and healthy for the feeling of caution that prevails. The business failures number 301, as compared with totals of last week.

After tho transaction of routine business on Fri du}* the repcnl of the Sherman net, or at least the suspension of the silver bullion purchase provision of it, was discussed for a time.

The

tax

ease more momentous to Indiana than any in the courts in years was affirmed by the supreme court Fridav. li.v the court's finding the railroad companies in the state will have to p:iv tax on nearly S109,000.000 of property, which is an even SI00.000,000 more than under the old assessment before the new law was passed by the last legislature. The state tax on railroads will thus amount to SI,500,000 in round numbers. The Hig our was the first company to make a tight against the assessment. 1l:\*ed by the state tax board. The lower courts sustained the assessment. and the ease was appealed for the purpose of securing an opinion that would settle once for all tho question in dispute. Other companies were quick to take up the fight, aud while some few huve paid their assessments, suits are now pending in nearly every court in the stute to avoid the payment. The Fennsylvania company took a hand with powerful array of lawyers, aud every available feature of tho new law was attacked with a view to having it declared unconstitutional. The companies were willing to pay a tax on §09,000,000 of property, but objected to the new valuation. For six months the validity of the law has been in doubt, and taxes have been withheld pending this suit.

ATUKNS, Feb. 4.—The earthquakes at /.ante have been the wins! on tha' island in modern times, an 1 no one can tell when the disturbances will cease. The shocks experieneed Thursday night did enormous damage, in fact the whole island was devastated. A terrilic thunderstorm prevailed at the time of the shocks. The rain fell in torrents and was accompanied by large hailstones. The biindiug Hashes of lightning, the roaring thunder and the rumbling beneath the surface of the swaying earth caused many persons to believe that, 1.1m end of all things had come. The people were panic-stricken, and so great, was the fear inspired that many persons entirely lost their reason aud are now hopelessly crazy. Thursday night's shocks destroyed the bread ovens in the city of Zante, rendering it impossible for the greater portion of the inhabitants to procure that article of food. The minister of the interior has arrived at Zunte and will do everything in his power to relieve the distress. King fleorge will start for Xante Sunday. A liuti-h warship and three vessels belonging to the Greek navy have arrived at the island with supplies of tents, provisions and medicines.
