WHAT HAWAI Minister Willis Would Be Expelled if He Sought the Queen's Restoration. | Referring to the telegrams from Tacoma signed “James Cooper Wheeler,” offering to raise soldiers to go to Hawaii, the Hawa- ian consul, Charles T.

Yesterday's San Francisco Call said: “If Minister Willis insists upon the reinstate- ment of Queen Liliuokalani, the deposed Queen of Hawaii, that woman will be de- ported from the islands, and the chances | | are that the exequatur of President Cleve- and’s envoy will be canceled and he will be returned to this country as persona non grata. This is rather astonishing news, but it is a fact, and it is what the provisional government of the islands has decided upon.” This is probably founded upon the follow- | ing interview with ex-Consul General to Ha- | waii Henry W. Severance: “What will the provisional government do when a demand is made that the queen | be restored?” “They will probably at once cancel the exequatur of the minister making such an | absurd demand and cause him to return to his country" “And as to the queen?” hh, she will have been disposed of.” at do you mean by that?

In the first place, the chances are that Minister { Willis would find no queen to ‘boost’ on the throne. If Grover Cleveland attempted Broke the Record. | The next two laps showed a falling off, but on the eighth and last lap of the out- ward course a phenomenal record was made. It had been agreed beforehand that here a burst of speed was to be made. Dur- ing Tuesday’s preliminary trial the cruiser had shown 24.% knots over this stretch and Mr. Cramp now wanted to show what the ship was capable of. The word was given and soon it was clear that the Columbia was going faster than ever before. The last buoy was passed at 11:49:17 and computa- tions showed that the ship had made the 7.74 knots in 18 minutes 19 seconds, or at the rate of %.31 knots an hour. When it was realized that the Columbia had eclipsed all previous performances over a measured course even the veteran officers were betrayed into rather extravagant demonstrations of enthusiasm. The up trip was made in 1 hour 5 minutes and 7 seconds and the great speed of the last lap had brought the average up to the | handsome figure of 2 knots. On the Home Stretch. After describing a twelve-mile circle, the cruiser pointed Boston-ward for her re- turn-trip.

Cramp after the trial said he was satisfied with the result and declares the cruiser is ready to go around the world just as she floats. The contract of the gov- ernment with the William Cramp Ship and Engine Company calls for a speed of twen- ty-one knots an hour, and offers $50,000 for each quarter knot of excess speed. As the contract rate is exceeded by one and three- quarters knots, the result of the race against time giyes the builders of the cruiser a Premium of $350,000. ——_—- bi AN AWFUL SNAKE STORY. A Kansan His Wife Bitten to Death on Their Wedding Night. Special of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 16, 1893. George Higgins, a Topeka traveling man, contirms the story briefly told in the press dispatches last week of the shocking death in Cherokee county of August Schrader and wife by serpents’ poison. Incredible as it may seem these two unfortunate young people were bitten to death by rattlesnakes mometer registered at nearly freezing point and that, too, on their wedding night. Mr. Higgins was one of a party of hun- ters, consisting besides himself of ex-Post- master A. M. McPherson, ex-Sheriff James Cc. Babb, W. F. Sapp and W. E. Stice, all of Galena, Kan, They were in camp on Shoal creek, not far distant from the In- dian territory line and within gun shot of the cabin occupied by Schrader and his bride, and in the early evening participated in the festivities given by old man Schrader in honor of the marriage of his son. The cabin was less than 100 yards from the domicile of old man Schrader and had been newly built on the latter's farm for the oc- cupancy of the young couple. It consisted of one room and was built of rough logs, chincked, rough pine lumber for the floor and a roof of the same material. It was peculiarly constructed, in that a perpen- dicular stone bluff was made to form one end of the structure. Against this bluff a fireplace of built, the chimney extending up its side and towering above thé edge of the bluff In this fireplace the first fire was built which warmed the house ready for the re- ception of young Schrader and his bride after the festivities at the parental home should be over. and the few guests who had gathe! to celebrate the event dispersed. Hardly had the camping party retired to their tent when, about 2 o'clock, they were aroused by calls for help from old man Schrader. They responded and, guided by the cries, hastened to the cabin of the young couple, where they found them writhing in the throes of death and the old man and his wife standing over them and crying piteously. About the floor and on the low bed were seventeen huge snakes of all species, principally cop- had ‘been killed and others chilled to death. The hunters took in the situation at glance and ran back to their tent for some the dying couple, but the remedy was too late and the victims died before morning. Upon investigation it appeared that the fireplace had been built in close proximity to a sort of cavern in the bluff, in which the reptiles had hibernated for the winter. The roaring fire had warmed the serpen into fe and they were driyen out into the cabin by intense heat. Young Schrader was able before he died to explain that he and his bride had been aroused from their slum- ber by the frightened moaning of a house dog sleeping at their feet, and which, too, was bitten to death. Following this Schra- der heard a hissing and rattling sound and, leaping out of the bed to ascertain the cause, his bare feet lighted upon the cold and writhing body of a serpent. Next he felt himself stung, and by the light of the dying embers in’ the fireplace he saw a number of reptiles crawling about the floor or coiled in the attitude of striking. He was stung again and again, and his cries arousing his wife, she, too, jumped from her bed only to meet her husband's fate. Then they ran for the door and cried for help, and in a very short time old man Schrader appeared. The open door, how- ever, rendered human aid unnecessary, as the reptiles became torpid and were easil; dispatched. On Saturday, two days after the tragedy, the young couple were buried in the Indian burying ground, on the banks of Spring river, in the Quapaw reservation, seven miles south of Shoal creek, with all the | solemnity of an Indian burial. This came because the bride was a half-breed Indian girl named Labadie and had lived in the! tribe of her mother until a year or two be- fore her marriage, when she went to live with old man Schrader as a domestic, and was there courted by the young man who afterward became her husband.

Michael Ryan, by Mr. Wm. Twombly, has filed a bill against Liewelllyn G. Estes for the recovery of a promissory note unlawfully detained or lost. The complainant states that in 1889, having been discharged from the army after a service of twenty- three years, went to Godfrey’s Hotel, 10th and FE streets, and became acquainted with defendant, and in November loaned him $1,950 for one year at 8 per cent interest; that when it became due, on defendant's assurances that he was financially respon- sible, but had recently purchased two houses, he loaned him $2,000 on a note, and left it with Charles E. Godfrey for safe keeping and not for collection. In February, 1891, he states that he received word from Godfrey that he was about giving up the and not finding Godfrey, | who, learning his business in town, prom- ised’ complainant to obtain the note for him, and a few days after gave him an | order for the note, and subsequently, when | he called on Estes, he denied having re. | celved the note, and he charges that Estes | received the note and has destroyed it, and | refuse to deliver it, and he (Estes) refuses to pay him unless the is produced.

The pending negotiations between the United States and Great Britain in regard to the Bering sea matter relate principally to an agreement for penalties for violations |of the regulations for the protection of the sealing industry, adopted by the board of arbitration at Paris. It appears that that tribunal overlooked entirely the matter of penalties. It made certain regulations to that end for the benefit of citizens of the | United States and Great Britain in the hunting of seals, but omitted to provide a penalty for a violation thereof. According to Secretary Gresham, a law that can be violated without fear of penalty or punish- ment is of very little practical effect, and is very little better than no law at all. He discovered this important oversight in the sealing regulations adopted at Paris and opened negotiations with the British gov- ernment through Ambassador Pauncefote at Washington, with a view of uniform ac- tion in this matter before the final adoption | of the regulations by the countries in inter- est. Concurrence of Other Governments. Another question that forms the basis of negotiation is the concurrence of the gov- ernments of Russia, Japan, China and other |nations in the findings of the Paris tri- |bunal. These findings, together with the decisions of the several arbitrators, will be | printed in Paris and distributed thence by | the agents of the governments of the Unit- ed States and of Breat Britain on the Ist of January. | The Tegulations may be enforced either by executive order or legislation. The latter | method will probably be adopted. At any |rat2 a proclamation by the President and of the British council will eventually be | made to carry out the judgment of the tri- bunal. The modus vivendi last agreed upon | between the United States and Great Bri- tain remains in force until terminated by joint action of the parties. But it applies only to the Bering sea, and while waiting | for concurrent legislative action, its pro- visions, it is thought, might properly be ex- tended to the surface over which a closed period is to be maintained by executive or- der part of the year by the terms of the de- cision of the tribunal. j The Regulati Adopted. The regulations adopted by the arbitra- tors, at the instance of the counsel for the United States, for the protection and pres- ‘ ervation of the seals are as follows: | Article 1. The United States and Great | Britain shall forbid their citizens and sub- jects respectively to kill, capture or pursue _any time or in any manner whatever ‘animals commonly calied fur seais with- jin a zone of sixty miles around the Priby- | loft Islands, inclusive of the Teyl waters, | the miles being geographical miles, sixty to ja degree of latitude. |, Article 2. The two governments, shall for- | bid their citizens or subjects to kill, capture |or pursue in any manner whatever during a season extending im each year from May 10 to July 31 inclusive fur seals on the high sea in that part of the Pacific ocean, in- clusive of Bering sea, situated north of the 35th degree of north latitude or eastward of the 18th degree of longitude from Green- wich until it strikes the water boundary de- scribed tn article 13 of the treaty of 1867 be- tween the United States and Russia, fol- lowing that line up to Bering straits. | Article 3. During the period of time in the waters in which fur sealing is allowed only sailing vessels shall be permitted to | carry on or take part in fur sealing opera- \tions. They will, however, be at liberty to avail themselves of the use of such canoes or undecked boats propelled by paddles, oars or sails as are in common use. Article 4. Each sailing vessel authorized |to carry on the fur sealing must be pro- vided with a special license issued for the purpose by its government. Each vessel so employed shall be required to carry a dis- tinguishing flag prescribed by its govern- ment. Article 5. The masters of vessels engaged in fur sealing shall enter accurately in an official log book the date and place of each operation, the number and the sex of the seals captured daily. These entries shall be exchanged by each of the two govern- ments to each other at the end of each sea- son, | Article 6. The use of nets, firearms or explosives is forbidden in fur sealing. These restrictions shall not apply to shotguns, | when such are used in fishing other hide- bearing animals during the season when such be carried on. Article 7. The governments shall take teps to control the fitness of the men | authorized to engage in sealing. These men | shall have been proved fit to handle with | sufficient skill the weapons by means of which seal fishing is carried on. Article 8. The preceding regulations shall |not apply to Indians dwelling on the coast of the territories of the United States or Great Britain, or carrying on seal fishing in canoes. or boats not transported by or used in connection with other vessels and | Propelled wholly by handles, oars or sails, |and manned by not more than five persons jin the way hitherto practiced by the In- dians, provided that such Indians are not employed by other persons, and provided that within such canoes or undecked boats jthe Indians shall not hunt fur seals out- side the territorial waters under contract to deliver skins to anybody. The exemption is not to be construed to affect the municipal law of either country, nor shall it extend to the waters of Bering sea or the waters around the Aleutian Is- lands. Nothing herein stated is intended to interfere with the employment of Indians as huntefs or otherwise in connection with greens hay —4 as heretofore. * rticle 9. The concurrent arrangem hereby determined with a view to the ro tection and preservation of the fur seals shall remain in force until they have been wholly or in part abolished or modified by a common agreement between the United States and reat Britain. Said concurrent arrangements shall be submitted every five years to a new commission in order to en- able both governments to consider whether, in the light of past events, there is occa- sion to make any modification thereof. ——_—_—+-©+—_____ New Pastor for Seventh Day Advent- inte. Elder Hersum, formerly of Maine, has been appointed fy the Wilmington, Dela- | ware, conference to take charge of the church of the Seventh Day Adventists in this city, whose former pastor, Elder Cor- \lis, was sent to Australia about a month ago. Although organized about four years, the membership of the church does not in- crease as rapidly as it might, from the fact that as fast as they are qualified, the mem- bers are sent to various parts of the coun- try to act as mission founders. A Mutual Aid Society has also been or- | €anized among the ladies of the church, whose function is to assist in the mission work by sending supplies of clothing and other necessaries where needed, to dis- tribute literature, hold mothers’ ‘meetings, attend to the sick and to assist the poor in this church. > The Sunday School Union.

Although the State Department has re ceived no information to that effect, the re- port that Admiral Mello has proclaimed the restoration of the empire in Brazil finds general credence in diplomatic circles here, as a logical sequence of the situation. Great interest is manifested in the course of action by the United States. Immediate action is expected as soon as Minister Thompson notifies the State Department of the alleged proclamation. It has been known in well-informed cir- cles from the outset that it was the object of Mello to restore the empire. Imperialists in Brazil have been almost confined to the navy, and had they had a leader in 1889 the navy would not have joined with the army in overthrowing the empire. How the Revolt Was Planned. The revolt of the navy was planned in concert with Brazilians in Europe and members of the Bourbon family, to which Count 4’Eu belongs. A naval commission sent to Europe to contract for the repairs of war ships and for new men-of-war took part in the conspiracy. The Benjamin Constant and the Riachuelo, two of the best fronclads of Brawil, whose officers could not be trusted by the conspirators, where the repairs were sent tc Toulon, could be delayed miany months. by the Bourbon family. The reason the proclamation by Mello was not made soon- er is supposed to be a fear that the United States government would interfere to pre- vent the re-establishment of an empire. When all attempts to secure ition of belligerent rights by the United States failed, then Mello in proclaimed the empire. No Interference by European Govern- ments. It is said that there will be no interfer- ence by any European government should the United States take action. It was sup- posed that Germany might favor the res- toration of the empire, bat the torpedo boats bought in Germany by agents of President Peixoto were allowed to sail from Kiel Saturday for Brazil without the least objection. One of the largest manufacturers of tor- pedoes in Austria has refused to sell muni- tions of war to Brazil. This action is sup- posed to reflect the sentiment in Austria. It is strongly against the republic and in favor of a monarchy in Brazil. Rumor as to the United States’ Action. There is an impression in some quarters that the United States will not allow the rebel fleet to leave the Bay of Rio, but will advise Mello through the commander of its fleet to submit and save life and prop- erty, thus putting an end to further dis- turbance of commerce. If he refuses and attempts to leave Rio bay the decks of the United States war ships will be cleared for action. This is a sample of some of the current over the Hawaiian contretemps it is im- possible to get any more reliable informa- Discredited at the State Department. A Star reporter was informed at the State Department today that several telegrams have been received from Minister Thompson at Rio within the past few days in regard to the situation in Brazil, which are princi- pally remarkable for an entire absence of all reference to Admiral Mello’s alleged proclamation for the restoration of the monarchy. This fact is accepted at the State Department as a reasonably good in- dication that no such action has been taken by the insurgent admiral. Admiral Stanton’s Route Home. ‘The Navy Department is not surprised at the non-arrival of Admiral Stanton, who was relieved from command of the South Atlantic station, on the Belgian steamer, which has just reached New York. The ad- miral was instructed to make his way home by the most direct route, and this is by way of Europe, so it is expected that the first news of his movements will be the an- nouncement of his arrival in England. on ae NICTHEROY READY TO SAIL. Colors Hoisted on the Cruiser That is to Ald Brasil. The finishing touches were given to the Nictheroy, formerly El Cid, yesterday at New York, and it was announced that some time in the course of the night she would steam away for Brazil as the cruiser Nictheroy. She lay at anchor all day well down below Bedloe’s Island. The Britannia will go to Brooklyn to take on coal today. ‘Work on her and the Destroyer was ac- tively prosecuted yesterday, for war knows no Sunday. The Brazilian flag was broken out for the first time on board the Nictheroy yes- terday. As its folds fluttered to the breeze the executive officer called upon the crew to greet with cheers the flag under which they sailed. Delayed News From Rio.
