A CRISIS IN HAWAII. The Queen Dethroned and the » Government Overthrown by the People. A Commission in this Country to Urge the United States to Annex Hawaii— Full Particulars. At 3 o’clock Saturday morning thostoamer Claudino arrived in San Francisco from the Hawaiian Islands, bringing important "Sews of a revolution in that kingdom. A provisional government has been established by an uprising of the people. Queen Uiliuokalani lias boon deposed from power the monarchy abrogated, government buildings seized, and a now provisional ministry, composed of four members, is sustained by bayonets of volunteers. Queen Liliuokalanl attempted on Saturday, January 14, to promulgate a new constitution, depriving foreigners of a rigbtof franchise and abrogating the existing House of Nobles, at the same time giving her the power of appointing a now house. This was resisted by the forcing

dement of the community, >vhn at once appointed a committee of safety of thirteen members, who called a mass meeting of their classes, at which twelve hundred or fifteen hundred wore present. The meeting unanimously adopted resolutions condemning the action of the Queen and authorizing the committee to take into further consideration whatever was necessary to public safety. The manifesto outlined a policy, demanded the removal from office of tho Queen and her cabinet, and promulgated laws for the government of tho Islands. The Queen yielded unconditionally. The following detailed account is taken from the Hawaiian Gazette of Jan. 18, received {lore on the 30th; ‘'Saturday afternoon, January 14, the Community was startled by tho information that a coup d’etat was in progress, lind that the Queen was endeavoring to force her Cabinet to sign a now constitution, which she then proposed to promulgate to tho people. Tho information was <;t first disbelieved by some, but it was speedily confirmed. Tho political changes of the past few days, tho secret attempt was made by the Queen to secure tho overthrow of her ministers, her secret interviews with regard to a new constitution, had been felt by some to give a hint as to what was to be looked for in the future, and many shared in forebodings. On Saturday morning minor was busy, and it was freely stated that a now constitution was to bo promulgated in tho afternoon. At a meeting of business men, held in the room of the Chamber of Commerce, reference was made to this possibility, butstill it was not generally believed, until in the afternoon tho unexpected happened, and loubt was transferred into certainty. Three days before the coup d’etat was attempted a gentleman who enjoys the confidence of the Queen told one of the members of the Cabinet that a blow was to bo struck, and that the persons of tho ministers would be secured. In anticipation that .the present Cabinet’ would not make any resistance to a revolutionary blow, precaution of arresting them was not taken. Saturday morning me of the ministers received positive information that a blow was to be struck that afternoon. He immediately proceeded to consult two prominent citizens on the the course to be taken. After a conference the gentlemen referred to advised tho Cabinet to refuse to sign the constitution and to decline to resign if their resignations should be demanded. The prorogation of tho Legislature was tho last chapter in the story of tho morning. It went off tamely and quietly enough, but those who wore acquainted with iho real situation felt that the government and nation were sleeping on tho crest of a volcano. In tho afternoon, immediately after the House had been prorogued, Hni Kalaiaiua marched over to the palace and presented a now constitution to the Queen with a petition that the same be promulgated to tho people as tho fundamental law of the land.»The matter of the new constitution and petition had been pre-arranged, and it is stated that its promulgation had been promised two weeks previously, and a member from Lahaina, William White, had been actively workihg up the movement. Alargocrowd of Hawaiins had gathered around the palace gates, and in the government building yards, and elsewhere in the neighborhood. The Queen retired to the blue room and summoned tho ministers. She was seated at a table, still dressed in the magnificent morning costume, withasparkling coronet of diamonds. She at once presented them with a draft of the new constitution, demanded their signatures and declared her intention to promulgate the same at once. Attorney-General Peterson and Minister of the Interior Coburn decidedly refused to do so, and Ministers Cornwell and Parker, though more hesitatingly, joined the colleagues in their refusal. All the Cabinet now advised and oven strongly urged Her Majesty not to violate the l&w. but she was not to be dissuaded from her, revolutionary course. Bringing her clenched hand down upon the table Queen Liliuokalani said: “Gentlemen, I do not wish to hear any more advice. I intend to promulgate this constitution and do it now.” , Proceeding, she told tho Cabinet that unless they abandoned their resistance at once she would go out upon the steps of the palace a>»£ tell the excited crowd there

assembled that she-wishod to give them anow constitution,ibut that the ministers wore inside and hindering her from doing it. The ministers remembered the riot at the court house, and the fate of the un-‘ lucky representatives who foil into the hands of the mob. They knew what the threat meant, and before it; could bo put into execution they fled for their lives.' From the government building the minis-, tors immediately sent word about town' asking the citizens what support the Cab-' not could expect in its resistance to the revolutionary movements begun by the Queen. The loading citizens of every political complexion hurried together at the Hon. W. O. Smith’s Office, and while thojr numbers were every instant augmented by fresh accessions, they hold hurried consultation as to the course to bo pursued. There was but one mind among all those gathered together—tradesmen, lawyers, mechanics, merchants, ’were of one opinion. Unanimity of sentiment reigned such as has not been witnessed here for years, and it was agreed without a dissenting voice that it was the duty of every citizen,withoutdistinctlon of party, to support tlie law and liberties of the people and to resist the revolutionary encroachments of the Queen. Messages to

this effect were at once dispatched to the Cabinet. The ministers now revisited the palace again, not without apprehension ttiat they would bo taken into custody, even if they suffered no bodily harm. Grout pressure has been brought to boar upon Her Majesty to induce her to go no further and to retrace the revolutionary stops she had already taken. While her troops stood drawn up before the palace waiting for the final word of command the Queen hesitated. The conference in tho blue room lasted a long time, while the result trembled in the balance. She could not bo induced to give up her unlawful project, but finally consented with bitter reluctance to a temporary postponement of her premeditated coup. The. Queen was a very angry woman when, at 4 p. m., Saturday, she returned to tho throne room. Again she insisted upon her demands, and tho result was tho abrogation of tho government and the dethronement of Her Majesty. Tho Hawaiian Islands are 3.100 miles west of San Francisco. Their area is 6,040 square miles and their population about ninety thousand, of whom forty thousand are natives and the rest a mixture of various nationalities, including about two thousand Americans. Thu Americans largely outnumber tho English, though the latter have considerable interests in tho islands. Tho present revolution appears to be in tho interests of tho Americans. A commission has reached this country with the purpose of urging, annexation. The authorities are non-committal, but it seems to bo tho general sentiment tha annexation . is , impossible. The Press is declaring most emphatically that America will not bo allowed to acquire this territory. Arsenic the Favorite. Cases of poisoning appear, from the report of the chemical analyzer to the government of Bombay, to be painfully common in India. In the “Kambeker street” case the son of a wealthy Menon, being dissatisfied with his father's allowances, conspired with tho cook to destroy all the members of the family who stood in his way, says the London News. Five persons have actually died of strychnine thus administered. The cook turned queen’s evidence and the murderer has been hanged. In Oodeypore a young girl was on the eve of marriage with a man who did not meet the approval of her friends. The friends got over the difficulty by putting arsenic in her food. In Poonah the servant of a European nurse robbed, her mistress of aom ; money while she was lying ill. Som; people in these circumstances would have sent for the police. The Poo nah nurse preferred to put arsenic in the pilferer’s soup. In the Kaladgi district a woman applied to a “Mahar” for a charm to stop tho quarrelsome habits of her husband The charm, which was in the form of a white powder, proved perfectly successful. The man died, and so did his dog, who ate the remains of his food. Arsenic, which is obtainable without the slightest difficulty in Bombay, always heads, it is said, the chemical analyzer’s list. A bridegroom in chains' was recently married in St. Petersburg. Alexander Petrovitch had been tried for murder and sentenced to death, but the sentence was afterward commuted to ten years’ banishment in Siberia. He was married in convict garb, and his chains clattered over the church floor. His bride and he ate a wedding breakfast, and she will accompany bun to Siberia.

McAdams, county attorney ol Warren county, writes tho Indianapolis Journal that tho published accounts concerning the defalcation of Treasurer Cronkhito are short of tho truth in that they fall to state that Cronkite has left ample resources and perfected arrangements whereby tho county and his bondsmen will be fully protected and all things satisfactorily arranged. He claims that the funds are invested in farms and stock upon which Cronkhito failed to realize in time to avert disaster. George Kline and wife, and Ed, alias “Cockoy” Riley, of Torre Haute, having a grievance against Ezra Norton, found him in a saloon, and Cline attacked him with a billiard cue, while Mrs. Cline stood by with drawn revolver, daring any one to interfere.

WHAT IS HYPNOTISM. u| A n Attempt of Hubert Hardin. Jr.j to UeUno This Mysterious force, j St bouis Globo Democrat. i Hypnotism consists of two things: I'irst, the induction of a psyschical condition, in which the subjects mind is made almost a blank and is completely under the operator s wil; and, second, the suggestions which tho subject receives. These saggestions may be communicated to the subject in different ways, tho best of which are by speech, as they are more concise -and quickly readered than suggestions made by motion and other methods. _ Tho subject’s suscoptibity to suggestion while in a hypnotic state to enormously increased, and his abiliity to act upon these suggestions is controlled entirely by the operator. 11 It is a common but erroneous idea that there are seven “degrees or “stages” of hypnotism, supposed to range from a mild, peaceful slumber to a state where the subject is completely insensible. Charcot, the emr inont French theorist and expertmenter, claims that there as many as nine distinct degrees, but if this is true, I have been unable to guish the difference between thoirh During the past week my subject was a young lady, eighteen years old and fairly intelligent, In throe days I subjected her to tho process of hypnosis seven different times, and from the most careful experiments, in conjunction with Dr. Clias. Morrell, we found the first degree of hypnotism consisted of simply a mild slumber together with the loss of sight. Tho loss of the sense of taste soon followed, and quickly after that the sense of smell departed; then the sense of touch and last of all the sense of hearing. The third stage of hypnotism, according to Binet and Pera, is that of catalepsy, in which tho subject becomes perfectly rigid and remains in that condition for any length of time. I have found that tho subject has a tendency to assume the condition of catalepsy and that it can be induced between any of the s'agea before mentioned, i. e., that the subject becomes, according to my will, lethargic or rigid between the loss 61 any of tho two senses. I have stated that the optic nerve is tho first to lose its power under hypnosis, but a curious effect was noticeable before the subject lost all control of sight. While the eyes were still half open a bright rod handkerchief was held before them in the line of vision, and at a distance of about fourteen inches. When asked its color the subject pronounced it blue, the contrasting color of red. Again, a blue ’korch’cf was declared to be orange, and a yellow one blue, and so on, each color being called by its complementary color. During this trial it was thought that perhaps tho subject was color blind, but this found to be incorrect, as the subject defined all of the colors accurately while in full possession of tho senses. As the eye became devoid of the power of sight a twenty-candle power incandescent electric lamp, with reflector, was set before the subject at a distance of ten inches. This bright light failed to contract or expand the pupils in the slightest degree. I After this I commanded the subject to become rigid, when this state was immediately effected. Aftefr releasing her from this stage she relumed the first degree. This was proven by a bottle of the strongest ammonia hold directly to the nostrils and the subject commanded to inhale it. This test failed, but a candle and potato wore consumed without reluctance, illustrating that the sense of taste followed the loss of sight. The third degree was then induced.: The ammonia was again introduced, while it was suggested that the “perfume” was exquisite. As the subject inhaled the fumes of the ammon-, ia a smile of pleasure play ad about her lips, the mere suggestion of parfume producing the result as beior© started. After a few more passes the girl lost the sense of touch and several needles were inserted in the cheek and through the lip. The doctor also extracted a decayed tooth, and tho tests were over. I released the subject from her insensible state, apparently none the worse for the sever© tests. I shall conduct from time to time experiments upon each degree of insensibility, treating each separately and exhaustively. A Poor Conductor.
