The mercury fell eight degrees below freezing point, which is one degree lower than was reached during the cold snap of 1891, when it was estimated that two-thirds of the entire orange crop of California was ruined. All Borts of rumors are in circulation as to the extent of the freeze. Some growers declare that the loss will be as heavy as it was two years ago. Others, however, took a more hopeful view and expressed the belief that only a quarter of the crop had been Injured. IOWA'S LEGISLATURE. The Twenty-Fifth (ieneral Assembly HrKins Its Session.

DEFINITE NEWS. Honolulu, Jan. 1, (via Victoria, B. G, Jan. 8.)—Since the sailing of the United States revenue cutter Corwin at 8 a. m. on the morning of December 24 no advices have left here for the coaaL That vessel took press dispatches against the orders of the United States leimtion, but it is doubtful if all of them are landed, as it is understood a strict watch will be placed on the vessel as soon as she arrives near the harbor, and that she will likely be ordered at once on a cruise. Demand of Minister Willis. The Corwin took an official copy of the demand of Minister Willis upon the provisional government to step down and out, which was couched in the following words: •‘Foreign Office Honolulu, Dec. 19, 1893. —Present, President Sanford B. Dole, Hon. M. Damon, minister of finance; Hon. J. A. King, minister of me Interior; Hon. W. G Smith, attorney general; Hon. Albert S. Willis, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. United States of America. "Mr. Willis said: Mr. President and gentlemen: The president of the United States baa very much regretted the delay In the consideration of the Hawaiian question, but It Is unavoid-' able. So much of It us has occurred since my arrival has been due to certain condition* precedent, compliance with which was required before 1 was authorized to confer with you The president also regrets, as most assuredly do I, that any secrecy should have surrounded the interchange of views between our two governments. I may say this, however, that the secrecy thus far observed ha* been in the interest and for the safety of all your people. I need hardly promise that the president's action upon the Hawaiian question has been under the dictates of honor and of duty; it is now and has been from the beginning absolutely free from prejudice and resentment and entirely consistent with long-established friendship aud treaty ties, which have so closely bound together our respective iovernmeuts. Refers to Mr mount's Mission. 1 The president deemed It his duty to withdraw from the senate the treaty of annexation, which bad been signed by the secretary of state and agents of jour government, and to dispatch a trusty representative to Hawaii to impartially investigate the causes of your revolution and to ascertain and report the tree situation In these Islands. This Information was needed the better to enable the president to discharge a delicate and important duty. Upon the facts embodied in Mr. mount's report tbo president has arrived at certain conclusions and determined upon a certain course of action which it becomes my duty to acquaint you herewith. Not the Act of the Hawaiian People. ‘The provisional government was not established by the Hawaiian people, nor with their consentor acquiescence, nor has Itsluce existed with their consent "The queen refused to surrender her powers to the provisional government until convinced that the minister of the United States had recognized It as the de facto authority and would support and defend It with the military force of the United States, and that resistance wonld precipitate a bloody conflict with that

force.

"She was advised and assured by her ministers and the leaders of the movement for the overthrow of her government that it ebe surrendered protest her case would afterward be fairly considered by the president of the United States. Yielded to United States Forces. "The queen finally yielded to the armed forces of the United Slates, then quartered in Honolulu, relying on the good faith and honor of the presidout, when Informed of what had occurred, to undo the action of the minister and reinstate her in the authority which she claims us the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands. “After a patient examination of Mr. Blount's reports, the president is satisfied that the movement against the queen, if not Instigated, was encouraged and supported by the representatives of this government at Honolulu. That they promised In advance to aid her enemies in an effort to overthrow the Hawaiian government and set up by force u now government in its place, and that they kept this promise by causing a detachment of troops to be landed from the Uoston on January 16, 1893, and by recognizing the provisional government the next day when it was too feeble to defend Itself and the constitutional government was about to be successfully maintained against any threatening force other than that of the United States, already landed. "The president has, therefore, determined that he will not send back to tbe sena% for its action thereon the treaty which he withdrew from tbat body for further consideration on the 9th day of March last. In view of these conclusions I was Instructed by the president of the United States to take advantage of an early opportunity to Inform the queen of this deter mlnatlon and of his views as to the responsibility of our government Queen .Must Grant Amnesty. "The president, however, felt that we, by our original interference, bad incurred a responsibility to the whole Hawaiian community and that it would not be just to put one party at the merry of ti-e other. I waw, therefore, iii8trusted at the same time to inform her that the president expected that she would pursue a magnanimous course by granting full amnesty to all who participated in the movement against her. including persons wbo are, or who have been, officially or otherwise connected with tbe provisional government, depriving them of no right or privilege which they enjoyed before the revolution of last January, and that all obligations created by the provisional government In the course of administration should bo assumed. "Iu obedience to the command of the president I have secured the queen's agreement to this course, and I now deliver a writing signed by her and duly attested, a copy of which I will leave with you. Demands That the Queen lie Restored. "It becomes my further duty to advise you, sir, the executive of the provisional government and your ministers, of the president's determination of the question, which your actlou and that of the queen devolved upon him, and you are expected to relinquish to her her ooustltutlonal authority. "And now, Mr. Fresldent and gentlemen of the provisional government, with a deep and solemn sense of the gravity of the situation, and with the earnest hope that your answer will be inspired by that high patriotism which forgets all self interest, in the name and by the authority of the United States of America, 1 submit to you the question: Are you willing to abide by tbe decision of the president) “I will leave this with you, Mr. President, as your stenographer may not have got every word, and it may help him •T will also leave the certified copy that I referred to, the agreement of the queen." "President Dole—‘The government will take the matter under consideration aud answer you as soon as they are ready. ’ "Mr. Willis — ‘Yea, sir; gentlemen, good

day.' ”

Dole Will Let Cemply.

Victoria, B G, Jan 10. Minister Thurston, the envoy of the provisional

summary, however, has been obtained from (food authority: Dole begins by noting that this Is the firs official communication this government has had intimating in any way the policy of President Cleveland toward Hawaii. By no action of this government has any matter connected with the iate revolution been submitted to tho authority of the United Stales. This is carefully argued No intimation has ever been made to tho provisional government of any thing having been done or considered In the premises until the alleged conclusion of the president now presented by Minister Willis. An exhaustive resume is given of the series of iwlltlcal struggles leading up to the revolution. The inside history of the attempted revolution or 1889 is taen recited, and of LUluokalunl's participation thoreln. Troops Did Not Assist. Dole denounces In the strongest terms the claim that Stevens was ever asked to bavo his forces assist in tho revolution or that he ever did so The government disclaims having ever authorized Damon or any other pernor, to make terms for the queen s surrender, and denies that he ever reported or was asked ta report such terms. Damon made those terms on his own responsibility. Nover before.or since the revolution did the members of the committee of safety confer with Stevens about the overthrow of the government Will Not Surrender. The provisional government is responsible only to those who constituted and are now maintaining It in power. It is amenable to no foreign power on earth. It has always been faithful to its constituents, and by no acts or intimation has ever offered to submit its rights to the United States or any other power. For these reasons this government must refuse to consider the proposition of Minister Willis No allusion is made by President Dole to Willis’ appeals to tfcelr patriotism and moral sense nor to terms of amnesty secured from the ex queen.

CMlno, the Peristyle and Made Hall Totally Deatroyed — Manufactures Building Partially Hurned—Loss About S 1,000,000. BEAUTY IN RUINS. Chicago, Jan. 9.—Fire which started in the Casino at the world’s fair grounds at 5:80 p. m. Monday swept away that building, the Haines surging through the handsome Peristyle, leav ing a trail of blackened columns and crumbled statues including the handsome quadriga which surmounts ed the arched entrance to the lake, and leaving in ruins the magnificent Music hall, leaped across the broad avenue and wrapped In their embrace the huge Manufactures’ building, with its mountainous roof, destroying handsome pavilions therein and valuable exhibits packed and awaiting shipment. One fireman was killed and several others injured. The fire, which it is thought was started by tramps, was not extinguished until 3 o’clock a. m., after burning fiercely for eight and one-half hours, and destroying property roughly estimated at *509,000. Attacked the Manufacture*. The flames leaped across the broad avenue between Music hall and the Manufactures and Liberal ArU edifice, and at 8:45—three and a quarter hours after the start of the tire—the enormous building blazed up, the first flames showing themselves away up on tho roof underneath the roof walk on the east or lake front and up near tho center of the building, 700 or 800 feet from the seething fire that was destroying Music hall. So soon as this jet of flame was discovered firemen rushed to the rescue, bringing up hose by the long flight of outside stairs at the southwest corner of the building. And here they were startled and confronted by the sight of a tiny flame away up on the roof on the west side and well toward the middle of the building. The firemen were instructed to save tho exhibits within the building, for it was ascertained that showers of sparks were falling from the roof and imperiling the mass of exhibits packed and awaiting shipment. There were no less than 15,000 cases, many as large as a freight car, thus imperiled. Four engines were driven into the building, and half a dozen streams from stationary hydrants as well were thrown upon the embers as they fell and scattered over the floor and among the exhibits. The fire was well fought in the Manufactures building, where such valuable property and so tnueh of it was endangered. The pavilions, the Russian, Austrian and French, around which the greatest danger lay, were for a time thought to be wholly destroyed witrti all their contents. The pavilions, the French and Russian, several blocks in extent, were wholly destroyed. Upon the fast bfl urnintimher a dozen streams of water were played, and the exhibits were destroyed. The pavilions could not be saved, hut well directed streams saved the coses of goods from destruction by Are, though the water damage will be great for the boxes could not be made leakless to tRe inundation to which they were subjected. Fire Out at 2 A. 51. At 1:30 o’clock a. m. the firemen on tho roof had succeeded in cutting a hole over the Tiffany exhibit. A rope was lowered and a lead of hose was hauled to tho promenade. Then a triple-siaixsjse was made and three engines were coupled on and sent a column of water to the waiting men on the roof. With this stream where it was needed the fire was soon placed under control. Firemen went ahead of the fire and ripped up the planks, sending the boards down in rapid succession to the ground. The fire still clung to the ventilators, hut some vigorous ax work and the stream of water quenched It At 2 o’clock the fire was out, after burning eight and one-half hours. Some of the Losses. The exposition company did not lose a cenF on the Casino, Peristyle and Music h't-’l The Casino was built by the Columbian Casino company, which had secured a restaurant-concession, and the Peristyle and Music hall had been transferred to the Mouth park commissioners. The Insurance ou the buildings was allowed to expire and there will be salvage. But for the fact that the Court of Honoris blemished by the blackened walls the fire did the commissioners a service, for it saved wrecking labor. jj Notfd Exhibits DeiitroyecL The French exhibit, which was located just south of the center of Manufactures building, wog tho first to succumb to the flames. This exhibit was originally valued at $1,500,000, but the larger portion of it is said to have been moved out. Among the losses enumerated are the bronze statue of war, the imitation jewelry display, Uobelin tapestries, Beurdelois' exhibit of mosaic and inlaid furniture, the Dore bronze vase. Bon Marche dress exhibit and library of French books Midwinter Fair Exhibit* Lott. xVlhks OwaaCa xOtjlsCs* AAA WliC AlA (h AA \j| A tures building there were 1,000 cases destined for the midwinter fair at San Francisco.
