The Frovlnlonal Ooternmeni Htren^thnni 't« Iefenses—Protest of Big MaasU.«Ung—An Appeal to
Congress.
TUB SITUATION RRNEWKD. SAW FBANCIBCO, Deo. 13.—The steamer Oceania arrived from Honolulu shortly after 10 o'olook Tuesday evenlug. The United Press correspondent at Honolulu writes as follows under date of December 5: The ®4th ult the Warrimo brought from Victoria our earliest knowledge of the Qresham lettor and Minister Willis' probable instructions to restore the queen by foroe. The Monowai, from San Francisco the same day, brought full details. No great surprise was felt.
Koyallsts Itlateil.
Tlx* royalists were greatly elated. The Americans were also much inspired by the vigorous denunciations of Cleveland's course by the American press and by the delny of Minister Willis in stating or executing his instructions. One thing became clear, that the ex-queen and her supports had been since early In March supplied with accurate lnforma tion from Washington of the president's policy and intention to restore her. T. A. Davis has also evidently been in the president'! confidence from the beginning. All the confident boastings of the royalists, so long deridod by by the annexation party, prove to have been based upon reliable secret information from Washington.
The Excitement Increased.
The Oceanic'* China mail on thfc 87th greatly increased the excitement by giving Mr. iilount's report as well as the sensation created at Washington by the Australia's news. It was at first believed that Minister Willis1 delay in tctlng would result in theentire postponementof the intended restoration until congress should be consulted. On the 29th, however, the royalists became very active and exultant, and it began to leak out from them that the restoration would take place Saturday, Decomber 2. There is now no more deritiion of the royalist rumors and great calm is prevalent.
Vrepured for Trouble.
It was surmised that Minister Willis had by the China received urgent orders to act. The government trusted his assurance of the 24th, but strengthened their defenses and increased their guards as precaution against a possible outbreak of the royalists in their excitement.On the 30th united and vigorous demands were made on the government, by representative men of all classes, to adopt a permanent
polic3'
of resisting the United States forces to the utmost. One committee was headed by the marshal. The ministers felt severely burdened by their responsibility to maintain their government as lirmly as possible on one hand and save the people from the ruinous consequences of restoration of the queen aud on the other the duty to avoid useless slaughter either of United Status furccs or of their own citizens, of whom their leading ones would be foremost in the conflict.
The united demand of the citiaens terminated all indecision, and the government becarnc prepared to resist all attacks to the last extremity. The people are intensely aroused and mean light all over.
Kumor» of
a
British-American Deal.
A report also emanated from the royalists and was widely believed that after the queen had been restored by the United States forces forces were to bo lauded from the British warship Champion and assume the task of protecting and maintaining the queon upon the throne.
Appeal to Congress.
VANCOUVER, B.
c.,
Dee. 18.—The Aus
tralian ship Arawa arrived at Victoria Tuesday. She left Honolulu Monday, December 4, and was a fraction over seven days making the run. The queen has not been restored, and there has been no trouble. Since the arrival of the last reports there have been but two thiugs of a significant nature The annexationists held a mass meeting on Saturday, November 25, and adopted resolutions in effect appealing to congress over the address of President Cleveland, Secretary Gresliam and Mr. Blount. Probably 1,000 people were at the mass meeting, which on the call was stated to be for "citizens favorable to annexation. The royalists claim the meeting was packed by representatives of the provisional government, and that all enthusiasm was arranged to order. Among those who spoke were F. M. Hatch, vice president of the provisional government W. R. Castle, Z. Spaulding, Chief Justice A. F. Judd, W. G. Smith, editor of the Star P. C. Jones, Dr. Carpin and others, all of whom denounced Cleveland, Greshani and Blount.
Kesoluttons Offered.
Mr. Castle moved the following resolutions, which were passed without dis8i.*n "Kesolved, That we have read with surprise nnd regret the recommendation of the secretary of state of the Uuited States to the preal dent to re*ioro tlio monarchy lately existing ID Hawaii. "Kesolvcd, That we condemn the assumption of the secretary that the right of the provision al government to exist was terminated by his refusal to resubmit to tho senate tbo 'treaty of union pending between the two countdos, and atao his assumption that the provisional governmental thai very time sub milted the question of its continued existence to the arbitrament of tho president or of any other powor.
Resolved, That we support to the best of our ability the provisional government to resist any attack upon it which may be made contrary to the usage of nations."
They Show Fljjliti.
On the four days preceding the sail iug of the Arawa the troops of the provisional government were busy fortifying and barricading the govern meut house, or the castle, as formerly "ailed. The work was being done

Senator Cullora Anjues for Foderal Supervision of Elections.
A CONTROVERSY WITH SENATOR HILL
tie Denounce* Klpctlon Methods In Now York nnd Is Told Tlmt lll« Htatonieotg Are Not True --The Debate.
CIJLI.OM TAKICS TOR FLOOR. WASUIA'GTOV, Disc. 13.— In the senate the resolution calling upon the president for additional information in the awaiian malter was laid over until to-day in order that Seuator Frye (rep.: Me.) might submit some remarks.
After the morning busiucss Senator Cullom (rep., 111.) took the floor to speak on the federal elections bill. Ho reviewed the legal questIODR involved in federal supervision of elections, taking the view of tho uonstitutional power of ihe general government to regulate elections for federal oCSeers. He said:
Opposed to Kepfal.
"It la the argument of siat# rights "'and e'iati sovcroitfuiiy an u^uinst and above the power of the United States. Shall the elections ol senators and representatives la congress besub Jeot alike to tho frauds aud outrages of the judicial ruffians and the ward bullies? Shall tho mandate of a corrupt Judgo— tho order of a Maynard—determine the eomplexlon of a legislature which elcots a senator of this body! Shall tho brawn and muscle of a MoKane. in deflauce of courts and laws, control next year the Jeleetlou of a representative lu cougiess and congress have no power to protect by law the integrity of its owu membership? In other words, is there to bo no power In the hands of congress by which it may maintain in a degree the integrity and purity of its membership, or must it be ever subject to the frauds and wrongs which state laws have failed to prevent? "As a republican I would much rather have suoh a
LYOUIRA
of laws meant and intended
solely for tho protection of the honest and legitimate voter, even If every official agency for their enforcement ahall be ol the democratic party. 1 havt not ao lost faith la Amerloan citizenship ai to believe that tho sworn offlcors of any political party will persistently Ignore the require taenia of wfcje aud Just electiou lawa. Better such a system, by whomsoever It may be administered, than to be without law and without hlnderanoe to the criminal acta of ths rlulous and depraved classes.1'
Controversy witU Senator U11L In the course of his remarks Senator Cullom attaoked the New York machiue, aud especially Isaac H. Moynard, the defeated candidate for Judge. This brought Senator HU1 (dem., N. Y.) to his feel and along dialogue was begun. "Is the senator aware of the fact," aaked Senator Hill, "that the election case to which he refers would not have controlled the senate of the state of New York7"
Senator Cullom—If the senator proposes to justify that acuon by the declaration that it would not have controlled the politics of th* New York state senate I regard it as DO sum clcnt question to be asked In this case because if It was a crime, whethor or not It oontrolled the senate In that state, the senator ought uot to justify it, nor should any other man.
Senator Hill—Whether there was anything irregular or criminal in the action in that senatorial distri is one question. We will discuss that at ihe proper time. The senator from Illinois of course does not expect me to answer him now. The point that the senator seemed to me to be trying to make was that the aotion in that district had affected the oontrol of the senate of New York. Upon that point I beg to Inform him that his statement is not true
Senator Cullom—Whether the statement Is exactly true or not— Senator Hill—It la neither exaetly true nor substantially true.
Benator Cullom—It probably required two or three changes In order to secure control of the legislature and the election of a senator friendly to the senator from New York.
Senator Hill—llie electiou of the United States senator had nothing whatever to do with that question, exoept in a very slight de
gree. Benator Cullom—Of oourse, 1 yield to the senator from New York so far as familiarity with the facts are concerned.
Senator Hill—I do not say that the senator willfully mistakes the facts. 1 presume he bus simply taken the partial accounts In the partisan newspapers of our state.
Senator Cullom—I have not relied apon newspaper acoounts entirely. I hare understood and I think the oouutry understands that the aotion of that man (Jud?e Maynard) inaugurated a scheme which resulted la changing the oharaoter of the legislature.
Senator Hill-In that respcci 1 desire to inform the senator and the country at the samt time that his statement Is not lbs correct out *f tb* situation.
Hard Times and Politics.
Scuator Gullotu then resumed the direct course of his speech He called upon good people everywhere in Aniericn regardless of politics to Join as one man to perpetuate, to make stronger and more eflioient every guard and protection for honost elections. He referred to what he termed the general situation. Uo spoke of t.he recent panic and hard times, but had not proceeded far when Senator HlU again interrupted.
Senator Hill—Does the senator expoct to prevent the oouutry from realising these dire effects he has mentioned by ih* uoutluuauM of the federal election tswst
Senator Cullom—Their repeal Is one of the steps to be taken, the end of which will be the destruction of the Industries aud the very life of the nation.
Senator Iiill-—I understood the senator from Illinois a few minutes ago to refer to tho re cent eleotiou In Now York as a condemnation a a in it a re derstand him now to claim that the election was a vindication of the republican protective policy.
Senator Cullom—I do say that the conduct which I have described as having occurred in New York state, which, in my judgment, gave tho majority to the democnuio pany and which resulted in the election of a democratic sena tor, has been condemned bv uearly 100,000 majority In defeating the democratic candidate (Judge Maynard) forjudge.
Senator Hill—Had the elections anythlr.f to do with the question of the tarifff* Senator Cullom—No, except that the demo cratic party In convention adopted a platform and ever since has declared that it Intended to carry out In law what it proclaimed in Us platform at Chicago, and that has alarmed tho people and helped to give the majorities whloh have been recently given in favor of tho republican party and agalust the domocratic party.
Senator Hill -Tho senator need not lie awake nights over any anxiety upon the subject of whether the domocratlo party proposes to carry out Its pledgee upon the tariff question. I can assoro him that the party does Intend to carry ihem out faithfully, honestly a ad Impartially.
Palling Down the Flag.
Senator Cullom then went on with his spcech, referring to the pulling down of the American flag In Hawaii which could not have been accomplished by all the power of monarchial Europe, but which had been committed by the order of an American president upon the advice and recommendation of a "ncwly-baptUed democratic secretary of state." [Laughter.[
The senate then, at 3:10, went into executive session. At A o'clock the ten ate adjourned.

A Hold Ileed.
CHICAOO, Dec. !o.—One of the boldest robberies ever known to the Chicago police or tho United States officials in this city took place in the post office at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday evening. A. Robinson, wholesale stamp cashier, was knocked senseless with a sandbag and the ofiloe robbed of over $S,0&0.
A Cunning Thief.
The story of the robbery is startling in every detail and shows the cunning of some professional crook. Robinson was in his room at the northeast corner of the government building counting up the day's ruoeipts preparatory to balancing aeconnts. The ofile* can only be entered by regular clerks of the building. This has been the rule. In order do so they must give three peculiar raps .n the door. Tuesday night about 7:Si) o'clock such a knocking was heard and Cashier Robinson readily opened the door. As nearly as could be learned from Robinson's Incoherent remarks stranger entered anil asked If the accounts ware as they ought to be. On Robinson's replying that a slight error had been found the stranger said: "1 think 1 can explain this. Mv firm got some stamps this afternoon aud finds that you sent them too many." lie handed Robinson a package. As the cashier turned to examine the package, which he supposed contained the missing stamps, he was knocked down by a frightful blow from a sandbag. This is tho last Robinson remembers of the affair.
Found the Injured Cleric.
About 10 o'clock M. VV. Zimmerman, who has charge of the retail stamp department at night, came on duty, and going to Robinson's office fouud the door fastened. Returning to his own department he uslced Mrs. Jones, the evening clerk, what the matter was iu Robinson's room. She went around through the special passageway and found Robinson lying unconscious on the
floor. BlooJ
had dripped from
his head unu .ay iu pool* on the oarpet. A physician was summoned at once from the Grand Pacific hotel. It was half an hour before Robinson regained consciousness. He soon relapsed iuto a semi-unconscious state and was unable to talk except iu a rambling, Incoherent manner.
SK.ouo «oi..
An examination of the room showed that more than 19,000 in silver and greenbacks had been stolen from the counUr. Robinsou's condition, It was thought, might perhaps prove fatal, and ho was hurried at once to the Presbyterian hospital, lie remained unconscious most of the night. As soon as the robbery was known Capt. Porter waa notified. Ue at once notified the oentral detective station and Officers Smith and Gi'ifilu were sent out on the oase.
Dropped
0900.
The robber had made his escape through a window opening on Clark Btreet. Just under the window was found l#00 which the thief in his flight had dropped. How he could get out of here unnoticed so early in the evening la something the police and Capt Porter cannol understand. In full view of the window on Clark street a doxen cabmen were standing at the time. At the time of the robbery the safe stood wide open. Nearly 160,000 In gold was inside this. None of It was disturbed. Capt. Porter said that this robbery was one of the boldest he had ever knowu.
