ASKED TO GIVE UP.
Minister Willis Demands President i,- Dole's Surrender.
THE LATTER'S ANSWER NOT KNOWN.
Queen Llllnokalanl Promises Amnesty to the Ofllcum of the Provisional Government Resistance
Openly Threatened.
WILLIS PRESENTS CLEVELAND'S REQUEST.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The United States government has juBt been informed that Its wishes in regard to the government of Hawaii have been conveyed to the provisional government of the Islands, and that while President Dole has promised a reply soon it is hardly expected that this will be favorable to the queen.
The message received was cabled from Auckland, to which city it was conveyed by the steamer Alameda, which sailed from Honolulu December 82. The information is that the reply of President Dole aud his colleagues will be delayed until the case can be gone into thoroughly and the contention of the provisional government will be fully set forth in answer to the demand of the United States.
All this is news to the president and the cabinet, but it was not unexpected, as it is now said that the Corwin bore positive instructions to Minister Willis that he should make his demand for the queen's restoration at once and use every means to carry it to a successful termination. The only obstacle was the decision of the deposed monarch that she would not aocept the throne on the plan proposed by President Cleveland but would insist upon support after she was plaoed there.
Queen Will Grant Amnesty. To
encompaSB
this difficulty the in
formation now received is the queen has informed the minister who transmitted the conditions to the provisional government that she will grant amnesty to all those who took part In the revolution and in subsequent acts of the government will carry out all contracts since entered into, and will take care of all the business on the basis of which it is now conducted. She agrees, further, to govern strictly under the constitution and will be guided by men whose character will be a guarantee of {heir correct course in public matters.
Willis Not Sanguine of Success. Minister 'Willis, ft is said here, takes a hopeful view of the matter, but does not seem to be sanguine of the success of his mission, especially at this time. The government has only informed him that it will submit a reply in due time and is now getting it in shape.
Will Not Surrender.
The Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu in an article supporting the government declared that the United States congress has taken the matter out of President Cleveland's hands by calling for the papers in the Hawaiian correspondence, and asserts that the provisional government will not retire from power' unless compelled to by force, and says that this is not likely to be employed.
Police Ordered to U*e Arms. In the same connection it ia stated one who knows of the message received that the condition of affairs on the island is daily growing moie complicated. The government, since its unofficial information of the intention of the United States government by the newspapers and Minister Thurston's messages, has been to all intents strengthening its forces. The .members of the regular police force have been notified of the probable conflict and their number greatly augmented. The arms are all at hand, and the most resolute of the Americans are at the head of this force. The number of men who will fight for the provisional government is placed at from 8,000 to 4,000, as it is stated that many of the supporters of Dole from other Islands are gathering at Honolulu to take part In any defensive action made necessary. The provisional government continues firm, and there seems no feeling on any hand other than that a return to the old order would mean a step backward wh lch must not be taken.
HOWARD SENTENCED.
Th* Swindler to Serve Nine Tears In Prison and Fined SI ,900. JACKSON, Tenn., Jan. 5.—Howard, the foreign claim swindler and clerical deceiver, was sentenced by Judge Bammond to nine years and one month in the Columbus (O.) penitentiary, $1,200 fine and the oosts of the two trials, which foot up in the neighborhood of 120,000. A greater part of the day was oonsumed by the defendant and his associate counsel in arguing the motion for a new trial. The court overruled the motion in an address in whioh the prisoner was most mercilessly scored. Sentence was then passed, Howard manifesting no emotion. The court said inasmuch as the defendant was an attorney he would be strloken from the roll of the bar.

RUNAWAY TRAINS.
Th.jr Cans* Loss of Life In New York and West Virginia. WARSAW, N. Y., Jan. 6.—A freight collision on the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh railroad at about 8 o'clock a. m. resulted in the death of two men and serious injury'of another. The first section of train 88 loft this station at 1:30 a. m., and, having to take on some cars at Bock Qlen, ten empty coal cars and the caboose were left on the main track in charge of a flagman, who must have gone to sleep and failed to set the brakes. The cars and caboose, in which the three men were doubtless asleep, came down grade at a fearful speed and struck engine 94 on the seoond section of No. 88 just as it was pulling out of the west end of the yard. The caboose and six coal cars were utterly wrecked. The killed were: D. L. Cashman, of Machias, and William Morrell, brakeman, residence Elmira. George W. Kelfer, the flagman, is badly injured. Cashman's body was found under the wreck, and Morrell's on top of the boiler of the engine. He was evidently in the cupola of the caboose.
FAIKMOUNT, W. Va., Jan. 5.—There was a frightful accident at the mines of the Monongali Coal & Coke company, miles from here Wednesday afternoon, cause by a train of four loaded cars breaking loose from the toll rope on tho inclined entry and running back where the miners were at work. Robert Ritter was crushed against the wall and died in two houra. Fennimore Anderson was frightfully cut about the bead and had his skuH fractured. Frank Gallagher had his left arm crushed off and sustained other severe injuries. Uotli Gallagher and Anderson are expected to die.
IN TROUBLE.
Receivers Named Tor the Louisville, Kvnnsvllle A Kt Louis Road. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 6.—The financial difficulties of the Louisville, Evansvillo & St Louis Consolidated Railroad company culminated Thursday with the appointment of two receivers—Vice President E. O. Hopkins and James H. Wilson, of Springfield, 111. The petition upon which the receivers were appointed by Judge Woods alleges that the funded indebtedness, which is in mortgage bonds upon the railroad property, is (10,000,000 that there is a floating debt of 1900,000, of which WOO, 000 is past due that the pay rolls for Maroh aDd December have not been paid, and that the interest on the bonded debt falling due January 1 has been defaulted. This interest, it is al leged, amounts to $18'2,000. It is also alleged that the company is unable to pay its operating expenses that its securities have been pledged for temporary loans at greatly depreciated value, and that their value as assets of the road is menaced by the probability of their sale in default of taking up the temporary loan. The railroad company in an answer which is signed by E. O. Hopkins, vice president of the road, admits all the allegations of the complainants. Judge
Woods issued an order appointing Hopkins and Wilson reoeivers, and fixing their bonds at 25,000 each. The receivers are instructed to operate the road without interruption.

IN FRANCE.
PARIS, Jan. 8.—The weather la becoming colder. The river Seine is covered with thick ice. The railway trains arriving in the city are hours behind time, the delay being caused by the water freezing in the feed-pipes of the engine. Many deaths have been caused by the extremely cold weather. A number of old and poor people have been frozen to death, in their miserable lodgings. Others, despairing of finding other relief from their sufferings, have killed themselves and several destitute persons have been picked up lifeless in the streets. An old couple occupying a flat in the Boulevard Clichy were found dead in one of their rooms. They had ignited a brazier of charcoal and the fumes had killed them. Many of the suicides have used this means of killing themselves.
In Toulon it grows colder. In Parigueux, among the mildest of winter resorts, everything Is snowed up. Heavy snowstorms are reported from Corsica. In Antwerp the docks are incumbered with ice and it is feared many vessels will be caught fast.

THE MISSING TRUNK-STRAP FOUND.
It Vm r«eft with an Old Shoemaker by a Man Thought to Have Beea Martin Burke—Evidence to
Huataln Mre. Foy.
FOUND THE STRAP.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5 —At last the LONG?* missing strap on the trunk sold to J. B. Simonds by Clerk Hat-field," of A. H. Revell & Co.'s furniture establishment, has been located. Hatfield has identified it The state has found it In the possession of Adam Doerr, an old shoemaker at I42}tf North Clark street, who says it was brought to hita a few days before Dr. Cronin's murder by a man who wanted the buckle repaired. The job was done but the man never came back. This man answers the description of Martin Burke. Tho identification of the strap adds another clew to the men concerned iu the murder.
The latest development in the Coughlin investigation supplies the state with a brand new witness. On the authority of Mr. Bottum, who is not given to retailing idle rumors, this new witness will testify positively to having seen Daniel Coughlln In the neighborhood of the Carlson cottage May 12, 1889.
The name of the new witness for the state is Mrs. Horton and she lives on WoodBide avenue. She. knew both Foy and Coughlln and it Is asserted thait she will swear that she saw both men named at the corner of Roacoe street and Ashland avenue May 12, the day the cottage floor was painted.
The evidence on Thursday consisted in reading the notes of the testimony of Miss Agnes McNerney, since deceased, given at the former trial. It is almost Identical with that given by her sister, who testified on Wednesday with reference to the request of a man to Dr. Cronin to visit the victim of an accident to one of O'Sulllvan's employes and the production of O'Sulllvan's business card to the doctor. Police Sergeant Hoefig testified to receiving telephone messages from Iceman O'Sulllvan requesting Coughlln to call on him, both before and after the murder had been committed. Dr. W. T. Belfield testified that his examination of the Stained cotton taken from the trunk proved that the stains were caused by human blood.
