A provisional government has Leen ertabli-hed by an uprising of the pop e. Queen Li iuokaUni has been deponed from power, the mnarchv abrogated, government buildings seized, and a new provisional mi nirtry. composed of four members, is sustained lv bayonets of volunteers. Queen Liliuoka ant attempted on Saturday, Jan. Irl, to promu gate a new constitution, depriving foreigners of a right of franchise end abrogating the existing bouse of nohli-s. at tha same time giving tier the power of appointing a new house. This was resisted by the foreign element cf the community, who at once appointed a committee of safety of thirteen member?, who railed a mar's meeting of their clashes, et which 1,200 or 1,500 were present. The meeting nnmimDinly adopted reso utions condemning the action of the queen and atuthorizing the committee to t ike into forti er consideration whatever was neevseary to protect public safety.

Mr. Good drew his own and callins attention to the fact that he was justified in the shooting he fired, seeking, however, to avoid the infliction of a dangerous wound. The wauron imbued its ay fo'lowed by a pohcemeo in a hack. This episode pn cipitated the movement. The citizens hurried to Beetania-sL armory, where tbey were formed into co Kpunies, armed and marched to the covernment building. In the meantime the comMiittee of public safety, accompanied Jy member of the covernment about to be formed, proceeded totlie sr vemtnent bud linir. They were entirely unarmed. Arriving at the government building the committee inquired for the cabinet, bat the ministers were not to be found. They then demanded and received of Mr. Hassinger pos.'es-ion of the building. The party now proceeded to the front steps, and in tbe presence of a rapidiy iLcreainir crowd read the proclamation. Before the reading of the proclamation was completed volunteers from the rifle armory bpan to araeinble in force.

The ex-ni:niMera asked for time to deliberate upon this demand. Tbev went to the palace in company with Samuel M. Damon and held a consultation with Liliuokalani. The result wad a compromise proposition which was rejected by the provieional government. The late qneen and cabinet finally yielded unconditionally and the poiict e'ntiort w a turned over to Commander Soper and Capt. Z.eJer with forty ineo fron Company A.

Views of the Men n Their Way to Try for Annexation. fcN Fh.ncioo, Jan. 28. Charles U Carter, one of the commiesioners to Washington appointed by the provisional government at Hawaii, made the following etatement to the Associated Press: "The object of our visit to Washington is to have the United States take possession of the Hawaiian islands; we want to join the union. Not as a state, however, but under a territorial or district form of government. A government like that of the District of Columbia with the addition of a governor appointed by tbe president is preferable for ninny reasons. There ia euch a iarire number of Chinee and other cheap laborer on the island who cannot be trusted to vot- intelligently that if tintveical fu raze were declared the whites, who represent almos the entire business interests of the country, would be outvoted and powerless. An entire new system of government mut be built up nd the only way is to Lave the United Stati-E take charge. "It in net como to thia or the whites must leave the inland. Th ir interests are too great, however, for them to give up without a struggle, and the revo uti-.n was the result. The new constitution which wa brought out by the queen grunted her almost absolute power and disfranchised the white voters. The natives themselves, as a ru. a, are not in favor of tba ex-queen's plans. She is supported by a certain clique of about tweuty, ho are anxious lor political power. The quem is jealous of the power of tne whites, rind is an ambitious, scheming woman, badly ad vi wed. Under ih old regime she had no caue to complain. She enjoyed an income -f between 575.000 and $100,000 with no responsibility, but she undertook to ii. ix in politics and got the worse ot it. The queen wan supported by her favorite, Ii. B. Wilson, the marshal of the kingdom, and the government troops. Wi son swore in a number of deputies and all the qieen'e force amounting to about 4'J) men. The queen's plan was clever but the lacked nerve to carry it out. She waited until a legislature had adjourned, and then got twenty natives and dressed them up in Img tailed coats. She gave them a petition for a new constitution, which the? did not understand' Everything went according to program until the members of the cabinet refueed to be diMini'ed. The revolution was almost a bloodless one. Only one man was hurt, a native poi.ceman, who was ahnt by Mr. Good. Good was in charge of a wagon containing a supply of ammunition for the revolutionists, and (he police attempted to capture it. Good, who ia a man of g. eat firmness and resolution, shot down one of the policemen and took the ammunition ti a place where it would do tb mot good, to the men who were resisting the Continued on Seventh rage

CARNEGIE AI LAST,

He Talks at Length of the Homestead Troubles. No Official Connection with tho Steel Plant Except an Investment of Surplus Capital. GREAT FAITH IN FR1CK, Whom He Regards as the Best Managerin the World, And the Most Valuable Man Pittsburg Ever Had. Doubtless He Forgot About the Pinkerton Gang "Which Manager Frick Was Responsible For A High Kate on the Services of the L itter "Which the Majority of Pittsburg Citizens Will Hardly Appreciate Carnegie Congratulates Himself on Retiring from the Active Business Cares Iteloro Compelled to Do So from Overwork Hie Great Iove lor Pittaburg. . Pittsbl'uo, Jan. 27. Ever eince the arrival of Mr. Andrew Carnezie from Lumpe he has been besieged by newspaper men for an ex predion upon the recent troubles at Homeslean, but he steadfastly refused to be interviewed. In conversation M ilh the correspondent of the Associated Press thia afternoon, however, Mr. Carnegie ta ked freely on the subject. "I did not come to Pitisburg," said he, "to mke up, but to trv to bury the past, of w hich I know nothing. That is beyond recall; it should be banished as a horrid dream and only the lessons that it teaches laid to heart for the future. For twenty-six yearg our concerns have run with only one labor stoppage at one ot its numerous works, and I trust and believe that even this record will be fuily equaled in the twenty-five years to come. When employer and emp.oyed become antagonist, c, each considering the other its enemv, it is a contest between twin brothers. There is no gouuina victory possible for eitht-r, but defeat for both capital and labor. I desire now, once for all, to make one point cleir. Four years ago I retired from active business; no consideration in the world would induce me to return to it; a great error of our couutrymen is that they endure the harassing cares incident to hiiaitiees until they break down in the harness, when they ehould be in their prime, and d e. still striving for dollars. 1 believe in retiring betimes and giving younger men a chance. I have sold portions of my interests, and am gradually selling more to such young men in our service as my partner lind posseted of exceptional ability and desire interest in the business. I am not au otllcer in the company, but only a shareholder. To the nu'i.eruua appeals which I have received urging me to give instructions in regard to recent troubles, I have paid no attention, but to all these people and to any others interested in the etibject. let me now say that I have no i wer to instruct an r body connected with the Carnoie steel company, limited; the oflicurg aro elected for a year and no one can interlere with them. Kven at the next election, it I desired to make a change, I shou d be power ess to do eo. The law under which the company is chartered requires a majo'ity. not only in interest, but in number of shareholder, to ellect a change. If I desired to replace the pret-eut oflicars, therefore, it would be utcesidry for me to obtain a majority of the shareholders and also seven members willing to act as their successors. I could not find one shareholder out of the whole number interested that would not vote and stand by the pres"nt ofliciats. Ttiey wiil lie unanimously re-alected. T do not believe in ruling through tho voting power, even if I could, and this provision, which has always been a feature in our partnerships, I think is only fair to those I coal 1 otherwise outvote. When I could not bring my R-eociatea in business to my views by reason I have never wished to do bo by forc. Ah for instructing or compelling them under the law to do one thing or another, that is simply absurd. I could not do it if I wouM, nnd 1 would not do it if I could. lam etil a ho der of a majori y of the shares of the C trnegi steel company, limited, never having c'ianged my po.icy of concentration. I made my fini dol ar in Pittsburg, and I expect to make my last one hern, and aa long as my young partners are willing or deeira my capital to remain in the business It ' shall eo remain and they shall always have my bet advice whem asked, gratis. I elect to retain my capital in tbe manufacturing business I have helped to build up because I have and always must have great pride in it, and for the further reason that my capital is thus made the direct employer of labor; it furnishes minv men with steady work at good w gP9. I do not know any form of philanthropy so beneficial as this. There is no charity in it. I have not taken money out of the business tor ini veetment in outside things; I never intend to d so, and since I retired from business four years ago, when money has come to me beyond that required for living expenses, it has been devoted to public uses. I have hoarded nothing and ebe.ll never accumulate money. I shall not d'e rich apart from mv interest iu the business which mav be still heid at my death. Much lias been I said bout bit fortune; I have plenty onj iL the works in Pittsburg are prosperI ous. unless they are, I have nothing, and that ia how I elect to stand. All my eggs ! are in one bxsket, right here in western Pennsylvania. I take my chances with my partners, and 1 have the satisfaction of knowing that th-first charge upon every dollar of ray capital is still the payment of the highet earnings paid to labor in any part of the world for similar service. Upon that record I am proud to stand. "And, now one word about Mr. Fries, whom I recommended to the Carnegis

eteel company, limiteJ, as its chairman.

and my successor lour years ago. l am i not mistaken in th man. an the future : will show. Of his abilitv, fairness and i pluck, no one has now the slightest ques- J tion. His four years management stamps him as one of the foremost managers of the world. 1 would not exchange him for any manager I know. People generally are ftill to learn of those virtues which his partners and friends know well. .If his health is spared I predict that no man who ever lived in Fittshurg and managed business there will be better likd or more admired by his employes than my friend and partner, Henry Clay Frick. I do not believe any man will be more valuable for the city. His are the qualities that wear, he never disappoints; what he promises he more than fniiilis. Good workmen or able men, wtio wish to do what is fair and right, will learn to appreciate Mr. Frick. Inefficient officials or bad, unreasonable, violent workmen lie does not like, and these will not thrive with him. "I hope after this statement that ths pub ic will understand that the officials of the Carnegie steel ccrapany, 1; i ited, with Mr. Frick at their head, are not dependent upon me. or upon anyone, iu any way, for their positionr , and that 1 have neither power nor disposition to interfere with the manage nent of the business And, further, that I have the most implicit faith in them. I hope also that I shall be thought a very wise man in having retired from. the carei of business before old age set in, and that the public will agree that a record of forty years cf hnrd work entit es one to devote hi remaining years iu less exacting and more congenial pursuits. We know, however, upon tba best authority, that where the treasure is, there will the heart be also. Well, ell my treasure ia here, in and around Pittsburg, and my heart, wherever I fzo. can never b very far oil, and this I can roost tinthfully say. that one of tbe chief thoughts of my liie must alwfiys be, how Lean best repay the inextiniu s'iable debt. I owe to the once again smoky, hut still clear old Pittsburg." FATAL EXPLOSION. The Fireworks of Diehl A- Co., at Heading, . , Wrecked. Cincivxati. Jan. CO.

BLAIIIE IS AT REST

I Funeral Services Over tho Distinguished Dead Attended by Many Prominent in Official Life. TRIBUTES OF FLOWERS Sent by the Family's Friends and Sympathizers. The Decorations at the Church Very Beautiful, Surpassing Any Similar Display Ever in the Capital 1 he Day One of Especial Grief to Mrs. Illaine, "Who Did Not Attend the Exercises at the Grave The Provisions or the "Will aud the Wealth of the Deceased. Washington, Jan. 30. Ali thJtt remained earthly of James Gillespie Blaine was laid away in its last tenement at Oak Hill cemetery thii afternoon, and the funeral that preceded the simple- rights at tho grave was one of the most impressive in his ory. Great . as he was as a civic hero, re nowned as lie was es a statesman, worshiped as bo was as an American, and -xalted as he was aa a man, the pomp and pageantry of power had no place in the ceremony that attended his body to its final rest. No soldiery moved with slow and solemn 6tep to mingle its musketry in a final crash of farewell; there wna no blare of brass, no roll of imililed drums. Through the streets and avenues, where the people stood with uncovered heads, the long procession, and representatives of a sorrowful nation, paid the dead man the tribute of their tears. Mr. Blaine could not have a private funeral. Kvery ellort was made to comply with his own understood wishes, and with tho expressed desires of his family in this regard, but the surging wave of public interest 6vept over the barriers impoeed and made his private funeral on of the most in.pressive of pub ic demonstrations in honor of the dead. The moot ernini nt men in the nation stood around his bier. All business in tho nation's capital was suspended during the period when the funeral services were in progrens. The presence of the president and cabinet and the supreme judges and high officials of rongr-ss and id the diplomtia corps was not more significant than the homage of the waiting crowds, who. in respectful silence, line i the aireeta through which the funeral cortege passed. The Serviees. The ceremonies inside tho house were impressively eiraple. Before the hour of 10 the invited guests began to arrive and take their seats in the front parlor of the mansion. There were no chairs reserved except for the president and for the immediate family of the deceased. Fleven o'clock was the hour named for the simple service. of prayer w hich was to precede the removal of the bodv to the church for the more public rites. It was only a few minutes a ter that hour when the mournvm entered and the president and distinguished concourse rose to pay fitting honor and sympathy with the Borrow of the deceased statesman's relatives. The family was followed by the Kev. Dr. Hamiin of tbe Church of the Covenant, who, standing beside the csiket, in a low tone delivered the prc&byterian service for the departed soul. As he did so Mr. Wa'ter Damrofch touched the keys of the piano to a slow dirge and the scene was an impressive one. Dr. Hamlin returned thanks to God that by Iii power this life was ended only that the life of immortality might be begun. He asked the Almighty that comfort might come to every member of the stricken household, because the one that had gone out of this life hafl gone to immortality. "Let the consolation that comes from above fall tenderly and sweetly upon them, fcpeak to them words of comfort such as Thou alone can teach. Thia we ask in the name of our Savior. Amen." This completed the brief and impressive rervicea and the casket was closed and tenderly borne to the hearse. Solemnly and in eilenca tho family and the mourning guests left the house which had been aa frequently invaded by the angel of death, and the procession wended its way slowly to the church. The Fuuernl Proreaaion. Outside the house the street was thronged with spectators, who reverently doded their hats as the pall-bear ars deposited their sacred burden in the hearse and while the attendants temporarily buried it under as many flowers as could be placed therein. The cortege then started for the church. In the first carriage was the Kev. Dr. T. L. Hamlin, the officiating clergyman. Then came the pall-brnrera Senator Hale of Maine; Senator Frye of Maine; Senator Morgan of Alabama; ex-Speaker lieed of Maine; Representative Boutelle of Maine; Kepresentative Hut of Illinois, formerly Mr. Blaine's assistant secretary of state; Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania, in which stato Mr. Blaine was born; Gen. Thomas Ewing of Ohio (second cousin of Mr. Blaine); John Hay, ex-assistant secretary of state; Joseph II. Man ey of Augusta, Me.; Alma F. Jenksand P. V. T. Fly. After followed the immediate family of the deceased, who entered the carriages in the following order: Mrs. Blaine, Hattie Blaina, James (L Blaine, Mrs. Damrosch, Mrs. Frumons Blaine, Mrs. Abigail Dodge, Miss Price (Mr. Blaine's nurse), Mr. U. (j. Blaine and family and Mr. Hampton Denman of Missouri (cousin of the decerned), Frank and Henry Stanwood and Walter Stinsou, Horace Stanwood. Augustus Stanwood and wife, Mr. W. II. Hatch (neuhows of the deceased.) In the next carriages were Drs. Johnson and Hvatt the a ttending physicians in Mr. Blaine's last illness. The distinguished guests followed in regularly assigned order without confusion. The presbyterian Church of the Covenant, where Mr. Blain was a pew-holder, had been surrounded with a rope to exclude all not epecia ly invited. It was exactly 12 when the slow and solemn music announced tbe arrival of the funeral part at the door ol t&

chnrch. As the sad procession moved cp the aisle, Mr. Waiter Damrosch, Mr. Blaine's son-in-law, who was at the organ, played an improvisation made up of several tuemei of byinus, which Mr. Blaine loved. All present rose and remained standing as the funeral party moved down the ais e. The Kv. Dr. Haml n, the pastor, walked at the head of the mourners, reading from the ritual of presbyterian worship.
