True Love's Course. Mr. Isaac Pulaski, the young bricklayer who on Monday of last week married at St. Alban’s Church, on the Tenleytown road, Miss Lydia McLeish, the daughter of Mrs. Mary Hurley of 32d street extended, had her taken from him by her mother, and on the following day sued out, through his attorney, Mr. John M. Lawton, a writ of habeas corpus and compelled the mother to bring her daughter from confinement, has at last had all his wishes acceeded to and has taken up his home on Valley street near Road. In Paragraphs, Mr. B. T. Janney, the supervising princt- pal of the fifth division public schools, who has been confined to his home for over a week, is now able to sit up. Yesterday afternoon the remains of Mr. Michael A. McGowan were laid to rest. The funeral was one of the largest ever | seen in Georgetown, attesting the promi- nence and popularity of the deceased. There was not an arrest made in George- town yesterday. The police say their refor- mation efforts are meeting with the most flattering success, On Thursday next, at the Brightwood track, six well-known Georgetown horses will trot a mile race. They will go five heats. Prince Purdy, Minnie Hunter, Bish- op, Dandy, Unknown and Shughrue’s bay | gelding will be the contestants.

But this surrender of the queen and of those surrounding her was only seeming. As soon as the principal appropriations had been voted and the legislative work was nearly concluded, several of the best members having already left for their homes, a re- | markable conspiracy was revealed. The undersigned, for the first time since January 4 took passage for Hilo and the volcano on the U. 8. 5. Boston for the bene- fit of the health of himself and of his daughter, it being also desirable that the town of the second importance in the is- lands should have this attention at the time the Boston was making a visit to Ha- waii, the chief island in the group. Beyond all doubt, immediately after the Boston and myself had left Honolulu the unscrupulous adventurers around the queen improved the opportunity to push through the legislature an astounding lottery franchise with the obvious intent to sell it out co the Louisiana lottery men. This was worked by some of the same parties supposed to be of the powerful opium ring whose four points of operation are Vancouver, San Francisco, Honolulu and Hongkong. They distributed the lottery stock among the native members of the legislature in large figures. Notwithstanding the strong opposition of all the best people of the islands, including whites and natives, and the emphatic oppo- sition of the chamber of commerce, queen and her palace favorite gave their warmest support to the lottery bill and ately compensated by being allowed to pro- claim a new constitution, restoring to the crown the old despotic prerogatives in di- reet violation of the existing constitution, which provides for the only mode of change, latures. Returning on the Boston from our Hilo trip on the Lith instant, we found the legis- ljature was to be prorogued at 12 a. m., one-half hour after my arrival at the lega- tion. The prorogation completed, members of the legislature, diplomatic corps, judges of the supreme court, and other officials, went to the palace by invitation. In the meantime it began to be known in public circles the queen's intention to pro- claim the revolutionary constitution. This resulted in raising an excitement which alarmed her confidants and caused some of them to draw back. This consumed time, so that she could not secure the signatures of her new cabinet as she had expected. In the meantime the dipiomatic corps grew weary and left the paiace, realizing that the invitation to be present was a trick. ‘The Queen's Determination. As I had just returned, weary from my voyage, I had not received the invitation, the chamberlain knowing I was absent when he invited the English, Portuguese, French and Japanese diplomatic representatives the day before. In the short meanwhile I had suspicioned the trick. Finally, the queen appeared in the throne room, before the supreme judges and other officials, in an extreme passion of anger, and avowed her purpose to postpone her revolutionary constitution for a brief period, and then went upon the balcony and spoke with great passion in the same strain to those around the palace, principally her retainers and the royal guard, her determination to proclaim her constitution at another time. What I have described as to the lottery legislation, the foreing out of the responsi- ble cabinet of November &, and appointing the lottery cabinet, two of whom had been voted out of the ministry during the legis- lative session by a two-thirds vote for the best of reasons. It was the lottery bribe and the autocratic design of the queen that quickly precipitated events. A mass meeting of the citizens was called to meet on Monday, the 16th, at 2 p. m., which assembled in the largest hall in the city. Short as was the notice, over of the principal citizens of Honolulu and Hemmed in by Flames on the Upper Floor of a Detroit Building. By the burning of the five-story iron front brick building Nos. 195 to 202 Jefferson | avenue, Detroit, occupied by Edson, Moore | & Cc wholesale dry goods, yesterday, as described in late dispatches to The Star, seven employes lost their lives, a fireman was badly injured and the monetary loss will reach in the neighborhood of $800,000, The dead are: James McKay, Bradley A. Dunning, Ed Genther, entry clerk, single, twenty-eight years old; Edward Viot, order clerk; Pat Markey, Daniel A. Baker, clerk; Henry Rider, packer. The fire started between the fourth and fifth floors at the rear of the building and spread with frightful rapidity. The great majority of the employes were at lunch when the alarm was given, but there were eight or nine of them left on the upper | floors. Those who were first on the scene saw a | terrible sight. The whole upper floors were | a mass of flames. On the window sill of the fourth window of the fifth floor front- ing on Bates street stood Bradley Dunning; two windows south of him stood James McKay. “Don't jump; wait for the hook and lad- shrieked the crowd. But before the ladders could be raised the flames rolled to the window ledge where Dunning stood. He bowed his head, grasped the window ledge with his hands and then dropped. The people watching him had just time to throw a bale of jute beneath him, and it was no sooner in place than Dunning struck it. | from other islands, who happened to be in He bounded up like a rubber ball and then | the city, were in attendance.

He struck on the sidewalk within a few feet of the building. He lived for a couple of hours. The awful spectacle of McKay's and Dun- ning’s descent was hardly over when the spectators saw another man creeping to- ward the upper window nearest the corner. A sudden burst of flame closed around him purpose. The speeches and resolutions are on the printed slips I herewith inclose.

Detachments were placed around the legation and the consulate, the princi- pal members having marched to a central hall for shelter and headquarters; the night being at hand, the public anxiety being es- pecially strong as to what might. be done by irresponsible persons in the night, the landing of the men of the Boston so promptly gave immediate relief to the pub- lie anxiety. ' The Provisional Government. As soon as practicable a provisional gov- ernment was constituted, composed of four highly respectable men, with Judge Dole at the head, he having resigned his their homes and not one of them has been seen since the fire started. There were no fire escapes on the front or side of the building. There were fire escapes in the alley, but they were of no use to the im- prisoned men. a eee England's Immigration Problem. London Correspondence New York Tribune. Once more the question of alien immigra- tion is coming to the front. It is only It is in the hard times of winter that distress is most keenly felt, and that it is realized to be due in the main to the anachronism of our system of making this country the refuge for undesirable foreign- ers, Several unionist members are going carefully into the matter, among them, I believe, Mr. Lowther, and they are very likely to attempt to wrest a declaration on the subject from the government. In their efforts they will have the support of several liberal and radical members for the ship- ping constituencies. There can be no doubt that the recent revival of anarchism and the undoubted landing here of several of these most objectionable creatures have also a good deal to do with the movement. how the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani | Lor. The committee on public safety called |ana taunt on that subject, on file at the State Depart- | place on the supreme bench to assume this responsibility. He was born in Honolulu of American parentage, educated here and in the United States, and is of the highest reputation among all citizens, both natives and whites. P. C. Jones is a native of Boston, Mass., wealthy, possessing property interests in the islands, and a resident here for many years. The other two members are of the highest respectability. The com- mittee of public safety forthwith took pos- session of the government buildings, ar- chives and treasury, and installed the pro- visional government at the heads of the respective departments. This being an ac- complished fact, 1 promptiy recognized the provisional government as the de facto gov- ernment of the Hawaiian Islands.

Language can hardly express the epthusiasm and the profound feeling of reli€f at this peaceful and salutary change of government. ~The underlying cause of this profound feeling among the citizens is the hope that the United States government will allow these islands to pass to American control and become American soil, A commission of citi- zens, duly accredited, will go by the steam- | ev that takes this dispatch to Washington, | to state the wishes of the provisional gov- (ernment and of the responsible people of ‘have recognized only | he has been at the head of this legation, | | condition to go on a trip around the world | just as soon as the bunkers are filled with the | signed it at once.

Cramp of Philadelphia, who had charge of the Columbia during the re- cent trial trip, representing the contractors, has drawn up the following report of the Columbia’s performance during the actual test and on the run home: “The steaming capacity of the boilers is ample for any demands that will ever be made on them, and a high rate of speed can always be reached and maintained with ease and safety. The department never have to fear any harm from the severest tests they can ever be subjected to. This fact Was so apparent to all that engineers and oficers aboard have declared that Chief Engineer Andrade will be able, as soon as his crew is thoroughly drilled, to surpass the record achieved on the trial, as he did in the case of the Yorktown. He made half a knot better speed with that vessel than was recorded on the trial trip. The indi- cated horse power of the Columbia will be largely in excess of the estimate, and will reach 22,000, It is a matter of sincere grati- fication that with all the machinery aboard in severe a test as any man-of-war was ever subjected to, nothing went wrong. The adjustments were perfect, and we are in coal. “The most noticeable feature of the trial of the ship itself was the remarkable ab- sence of all wave. The triangular foaming cataract at the stern formed with its apex about ten feet from the ship, and then sub- sided in height as it spread in width until it disappeared fifty feet further aft into a series of gentile waves, similar to those seen ve is light and mostly spray, which being caught by the hawse pipes is broken into showers and blown over the decks in sheets. When at maximum speed there was little or no vibration of hull, ex- cept when passing over the shoal places, when the engines would slow down, and a panting, leaping motion would become ap- parent, as if the ship was being held back and was striving to break its bonds. “Too much praise cannot be given to the engineer crew, from the chiefs to the fire- men and coal passers. All did their duty with vim, and each man had a personal, | living interest in the success of the ship. in a trial like this, the negligence or ignor- ance of one man might nuilify the endeav- | ors of all the rest. j “The engineer corps of the navy con-| ducted an extensive trial on the w back from Boston, of eight hours’ duration, to test the efficiency of the twin screws with the center screw disconnected. At the same | time, the consumption of coal was carefully weighed in the fire rooms, and four boilers | only were used, with the same air pressure , as was used on the official trial the day be- | fore. The object of this was to obtain defi- | nite data as to the consumption with forced | draught, so that the radius of action of the | ship at the maximum speed can be accu- | rately determined. | “To make it clear, I will state in fitures | that for eight hours. with nine-tenths of an | inch air pressure im fire rooms, with steam on only four boilers, with the side screws working and the center screw disconnected, | the shiv made 18.87 knots per hour, 140 pounds of steam being recorded in engine room, the port engine making 116 revolu- tions andthe starboard engine 113 revolu- | tions per minute. From 6:30 p.m. on § day to 8 a.m. on Monday we ran with ural draught and steam on six boilers only, and averaged 18 knots with the same screws as with the above forced draught | trial. We averaged 140 pounds of steam, 115 revolutions per minute of port engine, | and 110 revolutions per minute of starboard engine.

Benning Meeting Opened Yesterday With Six Races on the Card. Only Five Were Run, However, Owing to Delay—Some Upsets—Today’s Card a Good One. The opening day of the Benning race meeting yesterday was not the success an- Ucipated by the club. The weather was all that could have been expected at this time of the year, and while the track was far from being a good one, still it was a safe and fairly fast one, despite the mud and water. The card was the best as to num- bers perhaps ever presented to the local racing public, six events being called for, but even these attractions failed to draw more than a thousand peopie to the track, and consequently the eighteen track and the three foreign books complained that business was far from brisk. Very few wo- men braved the cold, and those who did hovered around the two or three stoves put up in the uninclosed grand stand. The day's racing was fairly successful, Addie, however, being the only favorite to carn a bracket. The starting of “Dick” McCann was the subject of considerable adverse criticism, and to his indecision so much of daylight was wasted that it was after sundown before the fifth race was started, and the sixth one, a steeplechase, an event especialiy enjoyable to local turf- ites, could not be run. With but seven horses to start in the first race, twenty minutes were required by McCann to get them off, in the second forty-five minutes elapsed before the flag fell, and only in the fifth event were the horses sent off in any sort of reasonable time. It probably was overanxiety on the part of the starter to do particularly well, but in several in- stances he failed to take advantage of geod breaks, and then, as is usually the case, finally sent them off much less ad- vantageousiy. With a card of six races, the first one being called at 1:30, Starter McCann will have to move much quicker than he did yesterday to finish in daylight. The Events.

To the Editor of The Being ing Star: Referring to the case of Capt. John C, heat Mitchell, found guilty by a service court of “improper indulgence in the use of in- toxicants and of other conduct unbecoming n officer of the revenue service,” I beg, as n officer of that service, in common with the great majority of my brother officers, | to enter an indignant protest against the slander that has been heaped on our serv- ice by the finding of that court. The al- ed punishment of Capt. Mitchell is, in fact, no punishment whatever; on the con- trary, it is a decided compliment—“reduced eighteen numbers in his present grade, re- lieved from his present command and placed on waiting orders for the period of Jone year. ow, What is meant by being reduced eighteen numbers? Is he any more or less t aptain still? Can he or any other captain obtain a higher rank in the revenue marine service? Certainly not, and that the board knew, nd Capt.
