ft all except the native born was to be the Erst step. There would be bloodshed and flettraction of property after exf filing all the foreigners, and heir property would be contlsoated. Property is now protected by a volunteer force of live hundred men and marines IDd the blue jackets lrora the lioston. It was atllrmed by Mr. Thornton that if this government fails to annex the islands tney trill be left open to anarchy. The old treaty between France and England, made la 1S12, recognized the independence of the islands. It was a treaty between those powers negotiated fey King Louis Phillip, binding each nation not to take possession of the islands. It is clear, in view of those well posted, that England, under the treaty, cannot annex nor can France. The United States at the time that treaty was negotiated refused to be bound or to join in the treaty: in other words, it refused to pledge itself not to take possession of the inlands, bat imply recognized the independence of the government. Joseph Marsden, one of the commissioners, said: "Our mission to the United State is for the purpose of ottering the island to Uncle tfanu If the government refuses to accept our gift, that is another thing. All the foreign elements in the island and the better class of the natives are In hearty accord with the provisional government and witn the annexation to America. The causes which led up to the trouble were the aotions of Queen Lilinokalani, who wanted to force a new constitution, revolutionary in character, upon us. Directly alter the prorogation of the Legislature the Queen sent for her nobles and presented to them the proposed Constitution for their signatures. They demurred, hot she stormed at them and fiercely demanded them . to obey ber behests. .They asked for an hour to look it over, but be gave them fifteen minutes, and warned them that they had better sign it. As Boon as she left the lilue Room the nobles fled. They went to the people and told them of tho intentions of the Queen. 1m mediately a number of the merchants gathered together, and after a short consultation appointed thirteen men as an 'executive committee, with lull power tto act. 'The committee called a meeting for 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon, and Armory Hall was packed at that hour with the largest crowd of white people ever gathered in Honolulu. A resolution was passed to prevent the high-handed proceedings of the Queen. Uq that night a number of marines, well ariued and equipped, came ashoro from the cruiser Boston, and took ud their position at the otlico of the American consulate. On Tuesday the whole thine was over. The Queen surrendered, although she acconipunied ber capitulation by a strong protest. Immediately afterward tho provisional government was formed, and a commission to the United States appointed. "Can the United Mates annex Hawaii!" was asked of the commissioner. VVithoutdoubt; what is to prevent her?" 'Will not tho agreement of France and Great Uritain to guarantee independence of the islands interfere'" "There is no such treaty in existence. There is absolutely nothing to stay tho will of the people.'' The commissioners this morning received invitation Irom the ban Francisco Chamber of Commerce to meet the directors of that body and discuss the situation of affairs with the merchants. Tho invitation was aeceDted, and the Chamber of Commerce will probably adopt resolutions asking the United States government to annex Hawaii. The Hawaiian revolution leaves the United States with only one modern man-of-war on the Pacitio ocean the cruiser Boston, now at Honolulu. Admiral Skerret. commanding the Pacific squadron, is here with a wooden ship, the Mohican, and Is prepared for sea. It is exteoted shs will at once proceed to Honolulu. The old wooden ship Adams and the iron ship Kan per are at Mare island, atid. it is thought, will be ordered to ihe islands. Admiral Gherardi'a squadron, consisting of the modern ships Charleston. Baltimore, San Francisco and Yorktown, is now on the Atlantic, on the way to take part in the naval review at New York. The powerful coast-defense ship Monterey is at this port and could be sent on short orders, but. being a coast-defense type of ship, has too limited a coal supply to permit being lent to the Sandwich Islands.

ANNEXATION NOT PRO B ARIZE. At L.ast Not in the Manner Desired by tho Hawaiian CummUnloner. 1 Special to the iLdianaoolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 28. The announcement of the revolution in the government of the Sandwich Islands, coupled with tne arrival ''at San Francisco of the commissioners authorized to negotiate, at Washington, for annexation to the United States, caused great interest hero to-dar. ,

It is impossible as yet to make any dehnito itatement about the policy of this administration, and. of course, it is even more impossible to anticipate the policy or the next. The news from Hawaii being a fortnight old, on account of tho absence of the cable lines which President Harrison twice advocated in his me8;ge to Congress, is not recent enough to form the basis of any immediate action or to warrant any exact prediction. It is certain, however, that the American commercial influences at Iluwaii have ions been antagonistic to the British iutluence, and that annexation has been earnestly desired by tboso who were opposed to the government of the recent (Jneen Liliuokalani. It was not thought at the Navy Department, today, that the cruiser Boston, now at Hawaii, would be called to action. Her v battery of two eight-inch and six six-inch rules, and her secondary battery of sixpound, three-pound and one-pound rapidtiro guns, together with her llotchkiss revolving cannon, will be formidable enough to enable her to protect American interests by her mere presence, with bluejackets on shore. As to the annexation of the Sandwich Islands, there is good authority for saying that this is not likely to be accomplished, in the full sense of meaning that the islands shall became an integral part f the United btates under the administration of President Harrison. While it is not known that President Harrison has ever expressed his views upon the definite subject presented to-day, it is known that he has said, in connection with other propositions of annexation, that he did not favor the acquisition by the United btates of any territory not contiguous to the country. That the acquirement of any territory separated by a vast ' expanse of water would keep us in almost continuous controversies with foreign nations and widen our possibilities for serious international troubles. The President regards the United States as being exceedingly fortunate in having no territory which wonld naturally give provocation for contention with any European power. sunrmsED the officials. A press dispatch says: The news that Queen Lilinokalani had been overthrown came to the United States government with an emphasis that precluded any doubtas to its authenticity. An ofticial dispatch to Secretary John W. Foster, received this morning, brought the startling intelligence. He immediately sent the information to President Harrison and to Mr. Mott Smith, the representative in Washington of the tueen of the islands. Mr. Mott Smith, however, had already been informed, and he hurried to the State Department with his dispatch from Mr. Thnrstou, the leader of the commission sent to negotiate the annexation of Hawaii to the United Btates. Secretary Foster Pent tho news to the office of the Secretary of ' the Navy, with the request for an immediato interview with Secretary Tracy. Mr. Tracy had not reached thn Department at the time, but Assistant Secretary Soley, recognizing the importance of the information, went at once to see Secretary Foster. They had a consultation in reference to thn naval strength of the United States in Hawaiian waters, and Mr. Soley informed Mr. Foster that the only vessel there was the cruiser , Uohton. now at Honolulu. No other vessels, ho said, were in the vicinity. Mr. Foster thought it wonld be well to have better naval repreaetation at Honolulu, and Mr. Soley went back to the Navy Department to ascertain what vessel were available for service in this connection. Secretary Tracy arrived Boon after Mr. Soley returned and. npon bearing the dawk, went over to see Secretary Foster. It will take at least ten daytt for one of our naval vessels to join the Boston At Honolulu. It is probable ti.it tho

new coast-defense vessel, Monterey, will be sent. This vessel is completed, with the exception of having her turret armor put in place, and it is likely that she will set sail at once from San Francisco to support the Jloston. The interior lining of iron to which the armor is rivited. has been placed in her turrets and her stores are all on board. The interview between Secretary of State Foster and Mr. Smith continued for some time. At its close Secretary Foster went over to the White House and had a conference with the President, While, of course, no statement of the policy to be pursued by the United States in tho matter will be made, at least until after the arrival of the commissioners from Hawaii, who are to present the request for annexation to the United States, it may ' bo said that the visit of tho Uawaiians will hardly be successful, if the purport thereof has been correctly stated. Aside from the innovation upon the policy of the government since its organization, which the annexation would be. the interests of other countries in tho Sandwich Islands are too large to permit, on the part of the government of those nations, an acquiescence in such annexation. It would involve consequences that tho United States would not care and which its long-settled policy forbids it to assume. VIEWS OF CONGRESSMEN." In executive session, to-day. tho Senate disenssed the French extradition treaty without result. Mr. Morgan then announced the intelligence of the Hawaiian revolution to the Senate. Although it could only be considered in an informal manner, a debate was atonco preticipated that occupied the greater part of the secret session. Gcnererally the speeches seemed to favor annexation or theestablishmentof a protectorate. In opposition to these views it was asserted that the debt of Hawaii amounted to more than $3,000,000, which was sufficient to canse this government ?o hilt before assuming that load. It was also stated by other Senators that when we secured our coaling station at Pearl river, years ago, there was an agreement under which England, Germany and tho United States and the other great powers agreed that they should keep their bands olf and permit Hawaii to run her own affairs. In controverting this statement it was claimed that while there might have been a tacit understanding in that direction, it was not such a contract between powers as would preclude the United States, in the event of a request from the government of Hawaii, from exercising the power of annexation if, indeed, there had ever been any understanding on that subject. In support ot the presumption that there was no agreement it was shown that England had been for a year or so quietly, but industriously, making inroads in the islands, and creating a feeling among the people of that country which was harmful, and extremely prejudicial to the interests of the United States, and her citizens who have invested their money in the enterprises that were developing the Islands and increasing their trade and commerce. The matter will, no doubt, be before the Senate in the usual way in tho course of a few days, and an extended debate will be the result. In the House there was a strong feeling expressed by leading Democrats against annexation. At the same timo there was an equally unanimous opinion that no other nation should be permitted to step in and control the destinies of the islands. The Monroe doctrine was again upheld as a cardinal principle in our foreign policy, and as demanding the exclusion of European domination over territory so near our own. What could' we do with it, and what a lot of trouble its a Hairs would give us." is perhaps a fair summary of the statements made informally by members. It was said at the same time that the course Hawaii is adopting in seeking annexation is practically the same as that taken by Texas when it became part of the United States. Naval otlicers are particularly enthusiastic over the news from Hawaii. Nearly every officer on duty at tho Navy Department has seen servico in Hawaiian waters, and some of them told to-day interesting stories of their experiences in Honolulu. One officer who has an intimate acquaintance with Mr. Stevens, our minister to Hawaii, said he was present when Mr. Stevens presented his credentials to the government formed on the accession of tho Qneen o th throne. Mr. Stevens read to the Queen an address, in which he virtually outlined her policy. The Queen did not relish the suggestions of Mr. Stevens, and becamo very anary. "If she had adhered to what he said," remarked the officer, 'she would be on the throne to-day." In reference to the annexation, another officer paid that if the United States possessd Hawaii wo could make it the Gibraltar of the Pacific. The Provisional President. Sew Your. Jan. 2S. S. D. Dole, now President of the provisional government of Hawaii, is a eon of one of the late American missionaries to Hawaii, is a graduate of Williams College, and has been second Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Hawaii.

I1IGGKST IN TUG WOULD. Artificial C.'stern "Which Has Never Been Fully Explored. Exchange. The largest artificial cistern iu the world 19 at Constantinople, and is kuown as tho Yere-Uaian-Serai. The approach to this immense subterranean cistern is through a Turkish house. After entering it. a visitor passes through tho entrance hall into a court-yard, ami, descending a steop slope of slippery earth, finds himself at the opening of the dim and mysterious Palace of Water. The roof of this monster cistern is supported by marble columns, distant about ten feet from each other, every one formed from a singlo block: the capitals are elaborately wrought, and in one instance at least the entire pillar is covered with sculptured ornaments. Two attempts have been made to explore it. both by Englishmen, but neither succeeded In ascertaining its full extent. All that is known is that it occupies a space of many square miles beneath the city. In the first attempted exploration the explorer and his boatman never returned, and it is presumed got bewildered amongst the columns, and being unable to retrace their way, perished by famine. In the case of the second explorer, he proceeded alone (no one being found willing to accompany him, ha nng first fixed two lighted torches to the stern of his boat, ana tied one end of a quantity of strong twine to one ol tho pillars near the entrance, leaving it to unravel itself from a reel as he went along. The liamo of his torches gradually faded from view, and the fourth hour Irom his departure had expired when a faint gleam of light once more appeared, to the great relief of the watchers for his return. Shortly the wanderer landed from his boat, chilled and exhausted, and stated ho had gone on for two hours in a straight line, but had een nothing hut the vaulted roof overhead, the water beneath him. and long avenues of columns stretching around hinun all directions and losing themselves in the darkness. i:!ahop JSrookM'M 1VI1I.

Yesterday a representative of the Lima National Bank arrived .here and attached all property bolonging to Farnham on a claim of 2,000, and to-day LaPorto business men have been busy filing claims for the large amount due them. Farnham came here last summer, and renting a large three-story building, lifted it up, regardless of expense, for a business college. Ho sold scholarships in advance at from $75 to 225. according to the branch of study to be pursued, taking in payment the purchasers' notes on short time. One hundred and forty scholarships were thus secured, the people of this city regarding the matter as a public enterprise, and subscribing liberally. Farnham, ' it is now' found, discounted these notes at the banks before his flight, and took with him a largo sum of money estimated at from 8-0.C00 to $26,000. leaving debts in this city running into the thousands. Farnham was lavish with his money nod a great advertiser, in this way obtaining- the confidence and credit of LaPorte citizens, who are now excitedly indignant.

Bindley, tho well-known wholesale druggist, went out at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, after listening to testimony and arguments for two weeks. This morning the jury reported in'ability to agree, aud was discharged. This has been the most bitterly-fought case in the Vigo county courts in several years, and has been the cause of much personal acrimony outside the court, in one instance resulting in a light between ex-Congressman Lamb and detective Dwyer. Mrs. Starck was employed in the Bindley household when she was Miss Kabbes. There was a robbery, and she was suspected of stealing a quantity of jewelry and other ell'ects.

INDIANAPOLIS ENTERPRISE,

What Obstacles Have Bern Otercome by Hard Work. One of ihe Xctable Conrtniencc$ fur Merchants Safety aud Crtmiit the IteMttlt of Storing Surplus Merchandise. There are few large cities in the United States that have had as much to contend with as Indianapolis in its raco for supremacy, and there are none that have shown more pcristency in lighting against these heavy odds. Indianapolis might well be called a- self-made city. She bad no advantages of navigable watei. of mineral interests, of balmy climate, to tempt the early pioneer to seek bis fortune at her door. With very few natural advantages to help her she has steadily pushed her way until she now stands uurivaled in Indiana, a cosmopolitan city known to the world. This result is largely duo to the position, personality and determined efforts of our professional and business me a. By their persistent work they have pushed Indianapolis into her present enviable position. . Among the many new enterprises which tried here, and Judge Engene H. Bandy, who tried the case, aud whose decision has been constantly upheld by tb Supreme Court, both when it was Republican and since 1; became Democratic, is being congratulated on all sides, by Democrats as well as Republicans, for the decided stand he made for justice and equality in his original lindins. The majority in the Legislature, which is working so industriously to gerrymander him out of office by abolishing his circuit, are sure to bear something emphatic and unqualified from the people of this and Randolph counties before they get through with their job.

Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Plainfiixd, Ind., Jan. 28. There were about half a dozen candidates for the postoffice here when the election was lirst talked of but the appointment and confirmation by the Senate of William Stanley, the Republican incumbent, caused all of the candidates except K.

New York Evening Post. It is a sorry fact that the piazza, that in the summer a Cords us so much comfort, in our winters of ten becomes u drawback by shutting out sunlight when we most need it. It has been suggested that this dillicnlty may be overcome in three ways: the first by llooring only the piazza substantially with wood, or tiles, or brick, and shutting ofi wind and sun by means of awnings or shutters that can be rolled up and put away in the fall. When there is plenty of building space and mouey a pretty summer-hoiine or pavilion of one, two or three stories, detached from the dwelling, and reached by a covered ps sageway, mirht be a good idea. If designed with taste it might become a picturesque feature of a building. Wnere such expansion is out of the question, if easy, broad stairs can be had, the roof garden, made safe and comfortable, is the third sub6tituto for the usual piazza. No' Surpr.slog. Manchester (X.
