la AWAITING NEWS.

WASHINGTON, NOT. 18.—Jhe admlnistlon is awaiting news from Honolulu with almost painful anxiety. While It is the expectation in official circles here that the provisional government has yielded to the wishes of the president, there la still fear that President Dole has declined to surrender without the use of force on the part of our government. The provisional authorities at Honolulu may have stood upon their rights and insisted that If they were to be thrown out of power the United States must do so by the use of her marine force and Oatling ff'tns.

If such a contingency has arisen there can be little doubt as to the policy pursued by Minister Willis. His instructions were to replace the queen on the throne, and doubtless he has done so, using force if force was necessary to accomplish his purpose. His instruc-

rm

tions required him to effect a peaceful revolution if possible, but to effect it at all hazards. If it has been peacefully done the administration will have cause for thankfulness, but if it has been necessary to leave the field of diplomacy and enter that of force the administration may wake up next Saturday to find that It has been making war without the consent of congress or the approval of the United States

Anxiety Not Disguised.

This is one of the many risks tne president has taken in his Hawaiian policy, and there is no disguising the anxiety which the president and his cabinet feel concerning the nature of the news that is expected to come from Honolulu next Saturday morniug.

The Hawaiian legation is going on the theory that the provisional government has not been overthrown by the superior force of the United StateB and that it still stands. Consequently Minister Thurston and his associates have prepared full advices, which have been telegraphed to San Francisco for transmission by steamer to-day. It Is said that among the advices are claims that the administration's restoration policy is repudiated in the United States, so tliat if the queen is rot i.e utlly on her throne the provisional vernment will have the fullest justification for using every means to keep her off. And if she has been put on by superior force they will have the knowledge that public sentiment in the United States will sustaiu them in ousting her again.

Harrison Tntervleweri.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 18.—ExPresident Harrison was interviewed regarding the latest developments In the Hawaiian (situation. Me was -at first, disinclined to talk, but finally began with studied expression: "1 hardly tblnk that I care to say anything about that unfortunate Hawaiian affair. I fully realize that then la a dealre to get my views on the matter, but I do not feel that It would be the proper thing for me to rush into print" "Do you not think, Gen. Harrison, that you could even discuss that affair as it related to your administration?" was suggested.

II. Speak. Reluctantly.

"1 do not see why that Is necessary or wise." ssld the ex-president 'What did Is a matter of record, and why should I now resort to an explanation or a dissertation on my offlolal seta? Of course the mnve of the present administration Is directly opposed to anything that I did, but It has done nothing, In my opinion, whloh can bo considered in the nature of a personal attack upon me. Oonoedlng that such were the oase, however, 1 might even then deollne to make answer. I don't like to discuss public matters In any phase. Congress took cognizance of all that was done, and my attitude toward the provisional government of Hawaii Is well known." "And you have no opinion whatever to express on the recent deoislon of the Cleveland administration?"

Hints at Suppressed Information. I repeat that It would not be wise for mo to express an opinion. In duo time the acts of the present administration in relation to the management of Hawaiian affairs will, I hare no doubt, be properly and fully examined, investigated, and, I might say, ventilated. At that tlmo the facts will all come out. and If there Is anything to know the public will know It.

1

'I do not know that the full purport of the government's Intentions has yet been made known. 1 was somewhat surprised, however, that the correspondence In relation to that sSalr was not asked for during the recent session of congress I watched the proceedings of that body closcly, fully expecting that the government would be called on to produce this correspondence, including that which was had during my administration and which was turned over to my successor, but I suppose tbe matter was lost sight of by reason of the greater question then under consideration. This correspondence might throw some light on Hawaiian affairs, but as It la all In existence it will speak for Itself. I must deollne to give an opinion on the controversy. Those who know my course in the past as regards that matter, can, perhaps, Imagine my feelings."

Careful Not to Criticise.

Throughout the interview he was seemingly careful to avoid saying anythlng that could be construed as an opinion or criticism, but his position and feelings were plainly discernible. He was apparently much disappointed that the Hawaiian correspondence bad not bean asked for by the recent silver congress, and it might be inferred

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

INDIANA,

from his deep concern in that regard that the correspondence referred to was being purposely withheld, and that, if made public, it would seriously embarrass and perhaps compromise the Cleveland administration.

Want the President finpeaohed. SAN FRANCISCO, NOV. 18.—The Examiner, democratic, and the Chronicle, republican, In loading editorials on the Hawaiian situation call for the president's impeachment. The former says: "For scorning to consult oongress and sending his herald to Honolulu to declare war between the United States and the recognized government of the island he should be impeached." The Chronicle urges it because it states that when he informed congress he had no further communication to make he secretly prepared to make war upon and overthrow a friendly state.

How the .lob TVaa lono.

As it was necessary to leave the city on his paying tour before banking hours Wednesday Mr. Drake drew the money from the bank Tuesday afternoon and deposited it in the safe iu the vault In his office. Wednesday morning he arrived at the ottiee about o'clook. He had only few minutes left in which to catch Ins train. Opening the door, ho left his keys hanging in the tteyKole. HP hurried through the reception room, turning into the room at the right, out of which the vault opens. Mr. Drake carried an old, medium-sized leather valise. He opened the vault and the snfe inside and took out the package of money envelopes. The money wsis put in the valise, together with the payrolls and other papers, aud, stepping outside, Mr. Drake was just about to close the vault door.

1(1.—When

brought into court Wednesday morning Amelia Darby preserved her usual calm composure and when asked bj the judge if she lud confessed to the killing of Thomas Lloyd and pleaded guilty of murder iu the second degree she quietly responded: "Yes, sir." Her attorney then addressed the court, saying that the confession and plea of guilty made by Miss Darby were contrary to their advice an.l had been made by her own volition. He recited causes why leniency should be shown her, and after he had concluded the judge, with a few impressive remarks, sentenced her to fifteen years in the penitentiary ^!t Anamosa, where she was taken Wednesday evening.

I'll moved by Her Sentence.

The scene in the courtroom was affecting. Miss Darby" aged mother and iter brothers and sisters and Mrs. Evans, the mother of Jenkin Evans, cried profusely, and many lawyers and hardened courtroom attaches were compelled to use kerchiefs on moistened eyes. Her 3-year-old child cried and hung to her mother, and, though once or twice the woman's eyes showed that she was affected, she never flinched, and took leave of her family and friends as if it were only for a day.

Miss Darby's Startling Confession. This case has been full of astounding features, but the latest, of which the sentence Wednesday was the sequel, was by far the most conspicuous. Amelia Darby walked into the district court and pleaded guilty to the murder of Lloyd. Jenkiu Evans, who is the divorced husband of the woman, was tried some time ago for the crime, convicted aud sentenced to life imprisonment in the Fort Madison penitentiary, where he now is. It was the general belief he had been given the brunt of the punishment for the crime and that Miss Darby would either be acquitted entirely or receive a light sentence. Amelia's conscience troubled her, however, or a more practical motive actuated her, for before live triai was called she signilied that she would plead guilty. Remonstrances were in vain, for when the fateful morning came she took extra care with her toilet, and wearing a defiant smile site marched into the courtroom. After recovering from his surprise Judge Habb asked her ii she wished to plead guilty. She said: "Yes. sir. I do," and, turning to a bystander, added: "Yes, 1 kitted Lloyd myself, and 1 don't want anyone else to be blamed. They have .lenkin iu the penitentiary for life, and will send me there, too, 1 suppose, but anything they do can't bring the life of that man back. I killed him, and would do itagaiu under the same circumstances."

She seems and has seemed from the time she was arrested to be utterly devoid of fear, and the same nerve which characterized this seemingly rash action characterized Iter every act since the crime was committed. Evans'attorneys will now, in all probability, get a new trial for their client. Miss Darby will be placed on the stand to swear to her guilt Miss Darby is an exceedingly attractive looking woman and is !47 years of age. She and Evans come from good families and have good educations, Evans being a college graduate.
