In the same way, we had once thought that human nature invariable, but now we knew that human nature changes. This was also true | | of the physical world.

The processes by which | the speaker divided into two groups; first, changes in the earth, and, second, changes in the en- | Velope of the earth—in the envelopes of air | and water. The changes below the surface | furnished the theme of the lecture. Changes of this kind were due to two causes, uplift and eruption. He did not mean simply by uplift that part of the earth which went up, but also that which fell—negative and pos- itive uplift. By eruption he meant that | part of the interior of the earth which es- | caped and piled itself on the outside. The | remainder of the lecture was scientific, but entertaining. Mr. Gilbert gave many illus- trations of the great changes which the world has undergone—marine shells and salt-water fish from the mountains, etc. The lecturer was loudly applauded. > A mi Election.

C., dispatch, copyrighted by the United Press, received last night says: The steamer Warrimoo, which arrived here tonight, brings advices from Honolulu under date of January 1. The following is a summary of the situa- tion at Honolulu on January 1, 1894, when the Warrimoo left that port: Ministe> Wil- lis, in reply to a communication from Pres- ident Dole, demanded of the provisional government that it ‘surrender to the queen. President Dole replied, refusing to consider | this demand. A week of terrible fears ensued after the arrival of the revenue cutter Corwin. Min- ister Willis held the menace of using force with the provisicnal government, and the citizens got in readiness to rush to arms, though it was generally believed the minis- ter was bluffing. All fears were ended by the receipt of the United States Press dis- patch per steamer A>awa on December 27. AM Qatet at Honolaln. All is quiet at Honolulu. The provisional government have a force of men under the palace is strongly fortified. Minister Willis received a bulky batch of dispatches by the Corwin. He immediately entered upon renewed intercourse with Lill- uokalani. Houses in Honolulu were being searched for concealed arms. On the 16th the alarm was revived by the British minis- , ter receiving permission from the govern- President Dole. ment to land marines from H. M. S. Cham- pion, for the protection of british interests. Capt. Rooke stated that he expected the queen “to be restored by American forces and he would land fifty marines. President Dole’s Inquiry. On December 13 last President Dole ad- | dressed the following communication to Minister Willis: “DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, “December 13, 1593. “Sir: I am informed that you are in com- munication with Liliuokalani, ex-queen,with |a view of re-establishing the monarchy in the Hawalian Islands, and of supporting her pretensions to the sovezeignty. Will you inform me if this report is true or if you are acting in any way hostile to this govern- ment? I fully appreciate the fact that any such action upon your part in view of your official relations with this government would seem impossible, but as the information has come to me from such sources that .I am compelled to notice it, you will pardon me for pressing you for an immediate answe:. “Accept the assurance of distinguished consideration with which I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient, humble servant, “SANFORD B.

Mr. Willis—No objection at all. Statement by Mr. Will “Mr. President and Gentlemen: ‘The Presi- dent of the United States has very much regretted the delay in the Hawaiian ques- j tion, but it has been unavoidable. So much [of it that has occurred since my arrival has been due to certain conditions, pre- cedent compliances, which were required be- | fore I was to confer with you. The Presi- | dent also regrets, as most assuredly 1 do, | that any secrecy should have surrounded the interchange of views between our two governments. I may say this, however, the interest and for the safety of all your people. “I need hardly promise that the Presi- jdent’s action upon the Hawaiian question has been under the dictates of honor and duty; it is now, and has been from the te Minister Thurston. beginning, absolutely free from prejudice and resentment, and entirely consistent with long established friendship and treaty tes which have so closely bound together our respective governments, The President deemed it his duty to withdraw from the Senate the treaty of annexation which had been signed by the Secretary of State and agents of your government, and to dis- patch a trusted representative to Hawaii to impartially imvestigate the causes of your revolution, and to ascertain and report the true situation in these islands. “This information was needed the better to enable the President to discharge a deli- }cate and important duty. Upon the facts j embodied in Mr. Blount’s report, the Presi- dent has arrived at certain conclusicns and determined upon a certain course of ac- ton, with which it becomes my duty to ac- quaint you. “The provisional government was not es- tablished by the Hawaiian people, or with their consent or acquiescence; nor has it bi existed with their consent.” “The queen refused to surrender her powers to the provisional government until convinced that the minister of the United States had recognized it as the de facto authority and w support and defend it with the military force of the United States, and that vesistance would precipitate a bloody conflict with that force. She was advised and assured by her ministers and leaders of the movement for the overthrow of her government that if she surrendered under protest her case would afterward be fairly considered by the President of the United States. “The queen finally yielded to the armed forces of the United States then quartered in Honolulu, relying on the good faith and honor of the ‘esident when informed of what had occurred to undo the action of the minister and reinstate her and the authority which she claimed as the consti- tutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands. “After a patient examination of Mr. Blount's reports, the President is satisfied that the movement against the queen, if not instigated, was encouraged and supported by the representative of this government at Honolulu; that he promised in advance to aid her enemies in an effort to ov throw the Hawaiian government and set up by force a new government in its place and that he kept this promise by causing a detachment of troops to be landed from the Boston on the 16th of January, 1893, and by recognizing the provisional government the next day, after it was too feeble to defend Was about to successfully maintain its authority against any threatening forc other than that of the United States al ready landed. “The President has, therefore, determined that he will not send back to the Senate lor its action the treaty which he with- drew from the body for the further consid- eration on the 9th day of March last. In view of these conclusions, I was instructed by the President of the United States to take advantage of an early opportunity to inform the queen of this determination and of his views as to the responsibility of our government. “The President, however, felt that we, by our original interference, had incurred responsibility to the whole Hawaiian com- munity, and that it would not be just to put one party at the mercy of the other. I was therefore instructed at the same time to inform her that the President expected that she would pursue a magnanimous course by granting full amnesty to ail who participated in the movement against her, including persons who arep or who have been, officially or otherwise, connected with the provisional government, depriving them of no right or privilege which they enjoy- ea before the revolution of last January, and that all obligations created by the pro- visional government in the course of ad- ministration should be assumed. “In obedience to the command of the President, I have secured the queen’s agreement to this course, and I now de- liver a writing signed by her and duly at- tested, a copy of which I will leave with you. I will now read that writing. I will read from the original, leaving with you a certified copy: Liliuckalani’s Pledge. “I, Liliuokalani, in recognition of the high sense of justice which has actuated the President of the United States, and | that secrecy thus far observed, has been in | itself and the constitutional government | desiring to put aside all feelings of per- sonal hatred or revenge and to do what is best for all the people of these islands, both native and foreign born, do hereby and herein solemnly declare and pledge myself that if reinstated as the consti- tutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Isl- ands I will immediately proclaim and de- clare unconditionally and without res- ervation to every person who directly or indirectly participated in the revolution of January 17, 1893, a full pardon and am- nesty for their offenses, with restoration of all rights, privileges and immunities under the constitution and the laws which have been made in pursuance thereof, and that I will forbid and prevent the adop- tion of any measures of tion or punishment for what has been done in the past by those setting up or supporting the provisional government. “I furthermore solemnly agree to accept the restoration under the constitution ex- isting at the time of said revolution an@d thet I will abide by and fully execute that constitution with all the guarantees as to persons and preperty therein contained. “I furthermore solemnly pledge myself and my government to be restored to as- sume all the obligations created by the pro- visional government in the proper course of administration, including all expendi- tures for military or police service, it being j my purpose if restored to assume the gov- | ernment precisely as it existed on the day | when it was unlawfully overthrown. “Witness my hand this 18th day of De- cember, 1893. LILICOKALANL “Attest: J. O. Carter.’ " Demand for Abdication. | “It becomes my further duty to advise | you, sir, the executive of the provisional | government, and your ministers of the | President's determination of the question, | which your action and that of the queen devolved upon him and that you are ex- pected to promptly relinquish to her her constitutional authority. “And now, Mr. President and gentlemen of the provisional government, with a deep | and solemn sense of the gravity of the) situation, and with the earnest hope that your answer will be inspired by that high patriotism which forgets all self-interest, in the name and by the authority of the United States of America, I submit to you the question: “Are you willing to abide by the decis- ion of the President? I will leave this with you, Mr. President, as your stenographer may not have got every word, and it may help him. I will also leave the certified copy thai I referred to—the agreement of the queen. President Dole’s Reply Delayed. President Dole—“The government will take the matter under consideration and answer you as soon as they are ready.” Minister Willis—“Yes, sir. Gentlemen, good day.” On the evening of the 16th Attorney Gen- eral W. O. Smith visited Minister Willits |for an informal interview, during which Mr. Willis said to Mr. Smith: “What, are you to resist the wishes of the United States? Either of these Japa- nese or British ships could crush you. If they assumed a hostile attitude you would be compelled to apply for protection.” Mr. Smith, intimating,that his govern- ment could wait for a republican admin- istration to grant annexation, Mr. Willis declared that the democratic party was ‘assured of twenty years of power, and that the will of President Cleveland would pre- vail. Except in these informal interviews sought by members of the government, Willis had no communication with them whatever since he presented his creden- tials.

TAREE FIREMEN FATALLY INJURED Two Tramps Blamed for the De- struction, THOUSANDS AT THE SCENE —_——_—___ It was long after dark last night when belated people returning from work to their homes in the southern suburbs of Chicago along the elevated road familiar to hun- dreds of thousands of world’s fair visitors noticed a constantly enlarging column of fire and smoke ascending skyward in the “The world’s fair is on fire!” was the cry, and few indeed of the watchers from the train windows alighted until the famous terminal at the exposition grounds was reached. The last half mile of the journey is directly east to the fair, so that all view of the blazing pleasure house of the world Was shut off for a time complevely. Directly past the scene of the frigh<tul fire of the cold storage ware house, where @ score of firemen lost their lives dunng the fair, hundreds of spectators hurried from the trains into the celebrated court of honor. Phere, suddenly, the conflagration came into full view. Whirlwinds of blazing embers were being carried from the end pf the court of honcr furthest from the administration bufiding, high over the mammoth roof of the liberal arts building, the largest structure om earth. The great golden statue of the re- Public could be seen lifting her liberty cap defiantly aloft through the clouds of smoke and flame. The fire had been burning les than em hour, when a thunderous crash of falling timber and a tremendous shout from the fave announced the collapse of the peri- style. A moment later another terr'fic yell from the crowd told that the liberal arts bulld- ing had caught fire, and that the whole ex- position was threatened. A dramatic incident marked the destruc- tion of the peristyle. One of the ladders upon which was u group of firemen fell with the columns, and one of the heroic ate fighters went down to death, while a mum- ber of others suffered injuries more or Jess severe. The sky was lividly brilliant at this time with falling sparks, away to the north, sho the art palace, women’s buildiag and the various state structures with fire. Every train and street car added momentarily thousands to the throngs of people, and but for the terrifying spectacle ani the danger to life and property it seemed i the greatest gala night of all the world's fair was on in all its glory. Origin of the Fire. The fire started in the casino, just east of the agricultural building and south of THE PSI UPSILON BANQUET, A Large Attendance at the Cochran Last Night.

C. acted as referee and Charlie Shepherd as master of ceremonies. The first bout Was between Ellis and Bolger. The first round wes harmless, the second noteworthy for an interchange of smart raps, and the third very fast and gay. It resulted in a draw. The second event was between Mc- Carthy and Carroll. The men were so even- ly matched, and both of them were Such sincere hitters, that after the third round the referee was unable to render a decis- ion and ordered up another round. A fifth round was also determined on and the ref- eree had to call .t a draw. There was some excitement because it was alleged that Car- roll had fouled his man, but this point was not allowed. Quill and Boucher had three rounds, and Quill got the decision. Roach and Oppenheimer boxed the regular num- ber of rounds and the former won. Bold- ing and Lash tried it on and Bolding got the decision. The evening closed with a wrestling match between Carroll and Mc- Carthy, in which each man won a fall. it was a remarkably excellent contest, and was decided a2 draw. Tho audience was a large one, and everything was conducted in @ way creditable to gentlemen sports. the peristyle. The casino was quickly de- stroyed and the flames surged north on top of the peristyle, and, droppine, made a sec- ond line of fire along the bace of the col- umns. The flames then sprang through the music hall, which corresponds at the north end of the peristyle to the casino at the south. While the fire was burning there was one of the most singalar and fascinat- ing sights of the night. Along the top of the peristyle were scores of statues. The spectacle for those people fortunate erough to be on the moving sidewaisk yust east of the peristyle was one of a succession of gigantic human beings plunging one after another headlong into the waters of the lake below. The origin of the fire is said to be in revenge on the part of a couple of tram, es ‘Tramps Kicked Out. The solitary guard of the music hall says that just before the flames broke out he kicked two vagabonds out of the music hall, and told them to find avarters else- where. They left in the direction cf the casino, and soon after the fire broke out, and soon everything on the grounds was terror and confusion. Fears of looting added to the horror of the scene. ‘At about 10 o'clock, with a possible loss of about $1 00 +4 fire in the manu- factures building alone, began to realize a iarge element in the crowd was composed of idlers, who, once in lawlessness, it would be hard to con- trol. Such preparations as could be bur- riedly made were put in motion to re- move goods and guard other buildings, but all such efforts were mere child's play. The utter hopelessness of such attempts on short notice were made apparent at once. The few officers on guard could hard~ ly do more than shut their eyes and grit their teeth, hoping against hope that the flames would speedily be stayed. Flames Beyond Control. The spectators at this time, partly guard their lives and to prevent whole- sale robbery of the exhibits, had been large- ly driven by the police westward over the bridges from the lake, and lined up in @& solid mass against the electricity building. Here they could see the giant flames throwing out giant handfuls of roof, and great blazing fragments dropping down upon the exhibits below. Through the glass roof and buildings could be seen the piers fall- ing like boulders in an avalanche, crushing and burning the exquisite French section and threatening to destroy the Russian and British sections. The fire boats and en- gines on the Iske had by this time sub- dued the flames in the ashes of the peri- style and in the lower colonnade of the southeast side of the hberal arts Bs and hopes were raised that the fire had been subdued, but shortly — a mgm 9 the flames got beyond control away the top promenade of the liberal arts build~ ing and the main aisle of the building was a mass of flames, arising a the biazing brands which came from above. Kemorsely the fire was hurling Itself through ihe interstices of the big iron arch- es at the dizzy heights above. The flames wound, boa constrictor fashion, in and around the mammoth electric lights sus- pended from the roof. Below these fearful curls of iron, likely to Grop at any moment, no man dared to go, even the sturdiest not venturing within a hundred feet.

The clouds of smoke and vapor that every moment or two shut out the view of the fire in the roof were colored in the most fantastic fashion, running from green and vivid to scarlet. Just what caused the ex- traordinary views none seemed to know. Guerses were that the dye stuffs and chem- icals in the exhibits drowned in water were the origin. Opinions seemed to be general that the loss by water would be even great- er than that by fire. With clanging gongs and the clatter of hoofs steamer after steamer rattled through the smoke down the firelit aisles until the center of the building was reached. They were ranged about the burning heaps of merchandise and the last struggle of the firemen was taken up. Streams of water were hurled upon the blaze, but with little effect. From above a fiery hail of of embers poured down upon the firemen, the heaps of blazing merchandise grew more and more numerous, and foot by foot the en- forced back toward the other end of the building. Now and then a blaze would break forth in a new place, but shouts arose telling of a new stand of the insidious enemy; pipemen were hurried in the direction of the fresh danger, and with the extinguishing of the blaze rushed back again to battle over the exhibits.
