SENSIBLE BRITISH — ee ORDERS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HONOLULU, January 30, 1895. Before this reaches you you will have been informed with some detail of what we have been doing in Honolulu since we got the rebellion under. I will not attempt to recount all those things, but will offer incidental remarks thereon. I fear my ob- servations will lack connected sequence, as I write under ure for time. The military on has been hold- ing trials of rebels and conspirators for nearly t This is the h day’s actual s About forty persons have thus far been tr This includes most of the military leaders and chief plot- ters of the rebellion, such as Nowlein and ral of their liew Wilcox, with ants, and especially Seward, Kk and Rickard, who laid the plans, an n and T. B. Waiker, who were active in executing them. The methods of the court have been deliberat= and impartial. Every reasonable latitude has been allowed to counsel. No decisions of the court have yet been an- nounced. It is mature to anticipate what exer- cise there will be of clemency by the exec- utive. Much, it {s probable. It was nat- ural that when our citizens were hot from their several days’ work im the defeat and pursuit of the enemy, and still laboring under the agitation caused by the g¢reat peril which had threatened their homes, there should have been a strong and stern outery for condign punishment of the reb- els, especially of all chiefly concerned. Calmer thoughts will doubtless follow, and it may be felt that there is room for Teniency, even, to some prominent offenders without unduly imperiling the public se- curity. The Military Court. The sessions of the court have been held im the former throne room. The president of the commission, Col. W. A. Whiting, the six associate officers and the judge advo- eate, t. W. A. Kinney, all appear ‘n full uniform, keeping on their headgear. One week ago a singular interruption startled the court in a terrifying manner. A heavy mass of ornamental plaster, nine feet long, crashed down upon the table between the members of the court from the ceiling, nearly twenty feet above. It pre- cisely fitted the length of the table, and injured no one, save a trifling scratch to Col. Whiting’s face. This is the first loos- ening of plaster in the building, now built fifteen years. It was doubtless owing to @ rather sharp earthquake the night be- fore. Hawatian superstition very naturally im- putes this strange occurrence in court, as well as the earthquake, to the fact that the former queen was at that moment on the point of formally executing her very complete and abject submission to the gov- ernment of the republic and renunciation of her throne. She had been for elght days under arrest, and confined in one of the former royal bed chambers upstairs above the throne room. During the previous week her condition at her own residence had been one of pitiable fear, consequent upon the failure of the rebellion, in which she was thoroughly implicated. Before ar- rest she had been consulting about making terms with the government, and was ready to submit to any humiliation in order to be exempt from punishment. The government would not arrest her until compelicd to do so by overwhelming proofs of her com- plicity. She began king advances to them, but they totally refused to discy the sub. with her. Her action was tirely spontaneous as far as any member of the government was concerned. Prod- ably no pressure from her own frt was used or needed. She was eager to make her submission. The Letter of Abdication. By the counsel of her trusted friends, C. B. Wils H. A. Widemann and Paul Neu- mann employed Judge A. S. Hartwell to draw up a document expressing her sub- mission and renunciation, which he did in thorough manner. It Is a unique decu- ment, and will undoubtedly become his- torical. Hawal!, although minute ig terri- tory, oceu! as sole ¢ T, an enormous tract of ocean; and it has had the honor of contributing to history an unusual num- ber of peculiar incidents, such as the res- toration of the kingdom by Great Britain the continuance of an ab ears in the prese e colony; and the freedom : ul to a deposed queen and intrigue for restoration. lented. Now follows the unprece- urrence of the fallen monarch her fullest submission and al- tendering legiance to the republic which displaced her from the throne. It Is too early to say what, If any, bene- fit may result from this formal abdication and submission. It will probably contrib- ute to render more thorough the removal which h: ready been felt, of the painful incubus which has pressed down the souls of the native Hawalians ever since March, 1808, when it was reported that Col. Biount was going to restore the queen. That im- on grew more and more terrifying to minds until December, when Min- ister Willis demanded of Mr. Dole to re- store her. From that time on she and her adherents have been able to keep up in the tninds of the native people the expec- tation that somehow she would soon re- turn to the throne; and then woe to every one who had cpposed her! To some persons engaged in personal benevolent work among natives there has come a really unexpected and startling revelation of how, to many of them, a dreadful fear has been taken off, and thelr lips have become unsealed. Many, who have been extremely reticent about polities, are suddenly open in their denunciations of Lilivokaiant and her pretenst They are n longer afraid of her. § @ tive, an her adherents are being dealt with for rebellion. The Mlusion under which Mr. Cleveland's action ha nearly two years has now these natives ure free to speak. ix-Queen’s Follow!n: 1 opportunity during the last terrogate a number of !ntel- gent and influential natives from differ- ent districts on this Island. Their uniform testimony is that Lilluckalant has had but a small number of warm partisans among the people. A majority, perha were in- clined towurd her and disaffected toward the government, but were lukewarm in their feelings. A large and intelligent mi- nority at heart favored the republic. The others ¢ d it, because it was persist- ently hammered into them by royalist pa- pers that the whites and the “missionaries” had rol them of their country and their rights, gh under the republic the voting power of the common native {fs rather greater than it ever was under the monarchy. There are only about 5,500 males of Ha- watian blood all told upon this tsland. Yet it was the boast of one of the white con- month before the out! were waiting to rise, and 500 white sup- porters of at boast vas published Now Sam Nowlein that he had me more o whites, wlein, deserted when they found f-whites to lead the less, had + quite a cr after he had sueceed 1 of natives and s Tin effect lodgment In the streets. The truth Is that the natives were too indifferent to the r st cause to take any active part In it. They no real grievaac and never were living more comfortably. Even those who were he- guiled into enlistment were lukewarm and had no enthustasm for the fray. When the ghells bewan to burst near them most of them threw down their guns and ran away or surrendered. The government had al- most a walk-over. No Chance of Success. It is true that the rebels were able to keep their plans and movements with ex- traordinary secrecy. This was the result of extreme caution on account of several former schemes having leaked out and been reported by spies. With all the vig- lance of the marshal, who almost alone felt certain that a formidable conspiracy was in progress, the 285 rifles were safely landed at Waialae, and Nowlein’s force massed behind Diamond Head for a rush upon the city before daylight, all without a breath of suspicion uniil after nightfall. Even then had Wilcox been content to let alone the little squad of police who were molesting Bertelmann’s, wholly unsuspi- cious of the rebel force beyond, the au- thorities might have continued ignorant until Nowlein and Wilcox had got into the Streets and slaughter had begun. Even then our citizens were so well organized that success would have been impossible to the rebels, but there would have been heavy loss of life on both sides, great terror and serious destruction of property. Al! this was averted by Wilcox’s premature collision with the police, and the instant alarm and rush of the citizens to their stations, with an activity Intensified by the shooting of Charlie Carter. The story of the previous transfer of the rifles from a schooner to the little steamer and her landing of them was an interesting one. As soon as the rebels were cap- tured all secrecy was past. From Nowlein to the lowest, every native and half-white hastened to tell all he knew in hope of leniency. They fairly “tumbled 1 each other” to reveal all the facts. With the whites implicated it has been different. They have not betrayed each other. Even John A. Cummins, a former premier, was as free in disclosures and accusations ef confederates as any other half-whi Thus the wh story has been completely revealed and told, with all the secret plan- ning of the leaders. Cummins and his de- pendeMts have told how his parasite, “Major” Seward, bought the rifles in San Francisco, taking some kind of an order from the queen to Rudolph Spreckels for fhe money: also how their men watened e chooner’s lights and landed and the pistols. More than half of stols, very nice new ones, are now in the possession of the marshal. The Chief Conspirators. The crowning revelations were those made on the 22d by Capt. Sam Nowlein, in which he laid bare the whole of the plot, as concocted by himself, Seward, Rickard and Gulick et the house of the latter. His testimony was supported at nearly all points by that of several other witnesses, who proved the full complicity and activity of the persons named. Nowlein, himself, has been captain of the royal guards, and specially attached to the queen, so that his complicity is fully accounted for. Seward is much of a Bohemian, living for a long time upon -the wealthy half-white Cum- mins, and a persun to whom conspiracy and adventure would be natural. Rickard is an old British resident, with a large family and some property. It is strange that he should have taken such a risk, although long a very bitter royalist and hater of American influence. C. T. Gulick is Americam born—came here in boyhood— 1s cousin to a family of noted missionary brothers, but hjmself intensely bitter against misstenaries, as appeared in his ¥Yenomous contribution to Blount’s report. He was long a government clerk, and was minister of interior under Gibson a dozen years ago. He had some natural ability, but had pretty much gone to pieces in business reputation and In his finances. He seems to have gone into this rotten en- terprise of restoring the queen as a dernier resort, for getting something to do. Set of Dead Beats and Knaves. These four conspirators used to meet sev- eral times a week. Gulick played the statesman, and drew up state papers, a new constitution, various proclamations, a full set of commissions for state officials, etc., all of which papers the queen's private secretary copied out, and she signed the commissions. These Intended chief officials were a sorry set of deadbeats and knaves. Gulick was thus in the enjoyment for a month or so of much imaginary greatness, running a whole government—on paper. He now solemnly denies in court that he knew anything of a plan to overturn the gov- ernment, although he admits writing the papers—perhaps merely to pass the time or to keep his hand in. ‘The other three were more actively ser- vie Nowlein enlisted men and or- m. Rickard was generally busy and useful. Seward went to the coast and bought and shipped the arms, and busied himself about landing them here with great efficiency. Capt. Davis of the small steamer Waimanalo, got the job of taking the rifles from the schooner out at sea and getting them ashore, for which he was promised $10,000, getting $20 in advance, and later imprisonment thrown in, with no small prospect of a halter. His men on the steamer have told the whole story mi- nutely. The San Francisco End of It. About the only part of the story lacking fs that which Seward might tell about his confederates in San Franelseo, and how he bought and shipped the arms. The Spreckels brothers seem to have had an interest In the business. Claus Spreckels, the father, has been a bitter royalist since the supporters of the provisional govern- ment declined to put the management of Hawalian affairs into his hands, as he pro- posed to them in May, 1803. Just before the news of our Insurrection arrived he made a very disparaging talk about us in the San Franctsco chamber of commerce. John D. Spreckels furiously effervesced when he heard how his ship, the Alameda, had been occupied by soldiery walle in Honolulu during martial law. The United States cruiser Philadelphia arrived yesterday with Admiral Beardslee, in nine days frm San Francisco. She left here on the 12th of last August,five months and eighteen days ago, during which time we have heen left independent and unfet- tered by the protecting care of the United States. We are not displeased at the good ship’s return. We remember with pleasure the ill-disguised sympathy of her officers fifteen months ago, when Minister Willis was holding over us the menace of United States naval power to compel us again to receive Lilluokalanl as queen. Stultified on the President's Orders. What the worthy admiral expects to do for us is hard to divine. He comes fetter- ed by published instructions, which order him to extend protection to no American citizens in Honolulu who have taken part in acts of force either to maintain or to overturn any existing government. It ts the fact that scarcely any American citi- zen can be found here who fs not in one of thé two categories, mostly in the for- mer. Consequently, Admiral Beardslee has nobody te protect, except the United States minister, who is ‘safe enough. The Pres!- dent's orders have stultifled the worthy admiral. He might as well heave up an- chor and steam back to 'Frisc The British commissioner, Maj. Hawes, at the beginning of the late outbreak, in- structed those British subjects who ap- plied to him for information that it was highly proper for them, to support the government and assist in maintaining or- der, and they would not thereby in the least {mpair thelr right to British protec- tion. This is common sense. The idiotic order of President Cleveland is simply an- other expression of his rooted animosity toward the noble American colony in Ha- wail. It only serves to corroborate and justify the belief of our whole community that he has desired to see a successful reyalist insurrection and the overthrow of this republic, and that he withdrew the naval ships for the purpose of encouraging the royalists In making such Insurrettion. We believe that he ts deeply chagrined at the ignominious defeat of his royalist par- tisans. It is understood that the military com- mission will continue the trials of Insur- gents for at least two weeks longer. No decisions or sentences will probably be announced until the close. ‘The prisoners’ ccunsel have systematically denied the jurisdiction of the court. This objection has no probability of being sustained. All the p ners were arrested under martial law, which still continues to exist. The extreme exigency of the public safety which necessitates martial law also neces- sitates resorting to more efficient treat- ment of rebels than the tory and .un- ain methods of ordtnar t Dole and his as: ‘y courts, Presi- oclates have proved selves men of calmness and modera- ‘They are strongly inclined to mercy, to these consistent with MEHAMEHA. tion. and will be certain to extend offenders all the clemen the public safety.

Mysterious Affair—The Victim’s Skull Fractured—May not Live— An Old Man. An assault and robbery that may prove to be a murder was committed early last everfing on Q street northwest between 20th and 2Ist streets, and the victim, Pat- rick McGoldrick, is under treatment at the Emergency Hcspital. Being committed, as it was, between 6 and 7 o'clock in the even- ing, the affair caused considerable excite- ment and uneasiness in the neighborhood. McGoldrick, who is about sixty-five years old, is employed as coachman for Mr. Geo. Frazier, No. 2001 R street northwest, and has been in his employ fifteen years, Prior to this employment he worked for Mr. Frazier’s father-in-law for about the same length of time. 2 Yesterday McGoldrick was at his work as usual, and in the evening about 6 o'clock he returned to the stable. After seeing that the horses were properly cared for and put away for the night, he left the stable and started toward his home. He had been from the stable only a few minutes when he was assaulted and rob- bed. ‘Three colored men, two black and a large yellow man, he says, committed the assault and then robbed him. He was rob- bed of his pocketbook, which contained $4.50, a bunch of keys and a knife. With just what instrument he was as- saulted is not known. The injured man thinks he was struck on the head with a blackjack, but persons interested in the case think he was probably struck with a brick, as a piece of brick was found in the snow not far from the pool of blood where the wounded man lay after he was so badly treated. After receiving this treatment at the hands of the unknown men, McGoldrick remained in the snow some minutes before he was able to get up and stagger to a house near the scene of the daring crime, and then he was assisted to the house of his employer. Mr. Frazier called a carriage and had the wounded man taken to the Emergency Hospital. There it was seen that his skull was fractured in one place, and there was another wound on the head. This wound is on the side opposite the fracture, mak- ing it evident that the man was assaulted and not that he slipped down, as Sergt. Keefe of the third precinct thinks. The sergeant investigated the case and re- ported that he thought the man had prob- ably slipped on the tce and injured his head when he fell. At the hospital the physicians did all in their power to save the man’s life, and his condition this morning is favorable, although he may not recover. Mr. Frazier called at police headquarters this morning and reported the &ffair to In- spector Hollinberger. He told the in- spector of the facts as he had gathered them, and vouched for the good character of the victim. Inspector Hollinberger detatled Detective Weedon on the case, and he will work with the precinct officers and endeavor to bring the guilty parties to justice. —__~——— FREEZING OF PIPES. Judge Kimball Speaks of Letting Water Ran. Judge Kimball had before him today a case involving a charge of wasting Poto- mac water, and the judge took occasion to make some remarks about the necessity of @ new law or this subject. The defendant in the case was Joseph McDonald of 537 New Jersey avenue northwest. The in- formation charged “that Joseph McDonald, being then and there the occupant of premises known as No. 537 New Jersey avenue, into which premises water has been introduced, did then and there permit the same to waste unnecessarily from a cock, jet or other fixture attached to water closet on said premises.” Inspector Barton of the water depart- ment appeared as the prosecuting witness in the case and told the court that he found the water running in the closet. “Was it on one of the cold days” last week?” the judge asked. “Yes, your honor,” answered the in- spector. He explained that the closet is in the back yard and the water was permitted to run to prevent freezing. “TI hardly blame these people for allowing the water to run during such cold weather,” the judge said, “but the law says it must not be done. I dislike very much to fine a man because he tries to prevent the freez- ing of the pipes, and yet at the same time there are so many persons doing this that people on Capitol Hill are unable to get water. What we want is a new law on the subject. The present law needs changing, and the sooner a new law is ob- tained the better it will be for all concern- ed. Plumbers should not be permitted to put pipes where they are apt to freeze and the law ought to require the District au- thorities to examine proposed plumbing be- fore passing it. Certainly closets should not be erected in open yards, where they are sure to freeze during cold weather.” The judge spoke of plumbing arrange- ments where pipes are outside against north walls of houses with no protection whatever against the severe weather. Under the law the court found the de- fendant guilty, but suspended execution of sentence. ——— THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 1—Judge Cox. Ingram agt.

An Interesting Legal Question Affect- ing a Liquot License. Mr. S. T. Thomas,‘attorney for the Dis- trict, today rendered an important opinion to the Commissioners upon the question as to who is the proper party to sign the ap- plication of William H. Rose, jr., for a bar room license at 7 Harrison street, Ana- costia, D. C., the beneficiaries named in the will of Mary Rose Martin, or the trustee appointed by the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict on October 4, 1881. The point on which the excise board de- sired to be advised was whether Mr. Gris- wold, who on the death of Mr. Arthur Christine. was substituted as trustee, under the will of Mary Rose Martin, deceased, is the owner of the real property left by Mrs. Martin, in the meaning of the excise law, or whether the beneficiaries under the trust of her will are such owners. Mr. Thomas says: “The object and purpose of Congress in requiring applicants for bar room li- censes to get the written consent of property owners and residents within a specified limit of the location of the saloon was manifestly to afford those persons whose interests might suffer by the pres- ence of the saloon protection if they de- sired it.” He continues: ‘Whether Mr. Griswold, as trustee under the will of Mrs. Martin, is to be consulted as to the loca- tion of the proposed saloon depends upon the question whether he has any property to be injuriously affected by it. As to the two lots devised by Mrs. Martin, if they should be injured by the location of the saloon, he would not suffer by any depre- ciation in the value of the property, if any should occur, since the persons for whom he is trustee have consented to the loca- tion. If, on the other hand, the location of the saloon should greatly appreciate the property he would not get the advantage of that; it would go to the beneficiaries of Mrs. Martin's will. “Aside from these considerations, the de- vise was to Arthur Christie to manage the property. He was the personal friend of the testatrix. He was the person in whom she reposed confidence. He was the per- son to whom she was willing to entrust the management of her estate. It does not fol- low that Mrs. Martin had that confidence in Mr. Griswold, who is a mere substituted trustee, selected by the court.” On the whole he is of opinion that Mr. Griswold is not the owner of the property devised by Mrs. Martin, within the intent and meaning of the excise law, but that the beneficiaries named in her will are such owners. —————— WHAT’S- IN A FRAME? Valuable Miniatures if the Owner is Up to Date. From the New York Herald. It is certainly the fashion to collect min- fatures. If one does not have her own portrait painted or the portrait of some relative, why, then, she must go in for col- lecting ancient miniatures. The more she can get together the better. Whether set as brooches or as bracelets, or in frames to be kept on glass-topped miniature tables, it matters little; miniatures one must have if one wishes to be in the fashion. Very beautiful are some of those set in ‘precious stones, and a row of diamonds or pearls, or diamonds and pearls combined, bring out the beauty of the colors and the painting in the most charming manner. The rim of jewels 1s the favorite fashion, but there is what they call a star setting, which means points of enameled gold, be- tween which are set ' jewels, and these, also, are very much the rage. It is very difficult to buy wHat one wants already finished. The jewelérs do not keep a large stock on hand, and prefer to execute orders, as they are, decided luxuries, these miniature and jewel frames, and it is not to be wondered at that great quantities of them are not put upon ‘the market. ‘The words miniature frames cover a great variety. In the terms are included the tiny silver, gold and enameled frames which are sold for small photographs. The favorite pattern in thése small frames is forget-me-nots, and thé design is very ar- tistically worked out. They are made to stand on a table or mantel shelf, or wher- ever one prefers. They are also made of rhine stones, but this last fs not a new fashion. ‘The mintature frames themselves are often works of art, and in many cases are veritable antiques. They are in differ- ent shapes, square, round and oval, made either to stand or with a little loop, so they can be hung up. On many of them only a tiny rim of dull gold is to be seen, as though it were intended the frame itself should not be beautiful enough to distract the attention from the painting. In other cases, particularly if it {s of any larger size, there is a beading or tracery of gilt on the frame, and, if the miniature be that of some royal personae, a crown or coat of arms, also in the gilt, is at the top of the frame. One of the favorite shapes, which is copied very much now in the mod- ern imitations, is the oval, made to look like the flat lockets which are so popular. This is generally made of dull, red gold and has a loop through which ribbon could be run, if any one cared to wear such a very large thing as an ornament. The small ones of this fashion, of course, are often utilized in that manner. The square frames have also waving lines and much ornamented corners, and sometimes hand- some bits of enameling. Curiously enough, a valuable miniature, an antique, is rarely to be found in a handsome frame, and yet no connoisseur would ever dream of sep- arating the two. When miniatures are set in bracelets they are almost invariably set in small bril- Hants, very thickly clustered together, and while pearls are very handsome for this purpose, they are perhaps not so effective as the diamonds, which have so much bril- Nancy in themselves. Set in tHis fashion as the center of a gold bracelet many wo- men have the portraits of their children, Sometimes two ilttle heads are put together on the one round piece. But in this case the diamond setting has some more elabor- ate fashioning than merely a simple circle. While the children’s faces look very sweet and pretty, the portraits of the celebrated women of olden time seem perhaps more suitable for that purpose. Indeed, after all, miniatures are more beautiful and far more satisfactory when regarded as minia- tures and not as ornaments. ——_—__+e-+— Transfers of Real Estate.

Washington 1s on the eve of the great convention of the Women’s Christian Tem- perance Union of the World, and the pres- entation to the government of the United States of the polyglot petition against governmental sanction of the liquor traffic, ‘The president of the union, Miss Frances XK. Willard, and the vice president at large, Lady Henry Somerset, will arrive in Wash- ington on Thursday, February 14. ‘These ladies will be quarter2d at Worm- ley’s as the guests of Miss Olive Seward, niece of Lincoln’s Secretary of State. There is pleasant acquaintance of long standing between the English Lady Somerset and the American, Miss Seward. When the ex-Secretary made his tour of the world Miss Olive Seward served as his secretary and arranged and in large degree classi- fied the copious notes taken by Mr. Sew- ard with a view to the publication of his book. In England Miss Olive was enter- tained by Lady Somerset, and now that the latter comes to America, Miss Seward returns the courtesy. The president and the vice president bring with them the mammoth petition, which, during the progress of the conven- tion, will be in the custody of Mrs. La Fetra. Preparations are rapidly being con- cluded for the preliminary meeting, which is to take place on Friday evening at Metropolitan M. FE. Church, and the great meeting at Convention Hall on Friday night, at which addresses will be made by many of the most famous temperance ad- yeeates of the world. A large number of ecnspicuous public officials will attend. Judging from the sale of seats at Ellis’ music store, the audience will completely fill the monster hall. The general admis- sion has been set at 10 cents, while the best seats in the hall are reserved at 25 and 50 cents. ————— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Police Trials. Private P. A.

A Mensure Which Has the Approval of the Medical Profession. From the Philadelphia Press. There is a Dill on the calendar of the New Jersey state senate introduced by Sen- ator Williams of Passaic that has at- tracted more than ordinary attention, be- cause of its peculiar character. It is an act for the prevention of blindness in the state of New Jersey, and it provides, in short, that should one or both eyes of an infant become inflamed, swollen or red- dened, or should there be any -unnatural discharge at any time within two weeks after its birth, it shall be the duty of the midwife, nurse, attendant or relative hav- ing charge of such infant to report the fact in writing within six hours to the =| board of health, and the local board health shall direct the widwife or attendant to immediately place it in charge of a le- gally qualified physician or the city physti- cian, if unable to pay for the medical serv~ ices. The penalty for not repo! such cases is to be either imprisonment for siz months or a fine not to exceed This bill originates with the Medical Society, and was drafted by a special com: mittee appointed at the last annual mee’ ing, which consisted of Dr. Johnson er Dr. Harris of Paterson, and Dr. = Newark. It was the result of the of a paper at the annual meeting by W Johnson on the present status aper It was stated that the rap - the number of the blind >. y during the last decade w = imes greater than the perecn’ increase in population, and t! fact h ttracted the-attention of ophth mic surgeons and others to a conside: tion of the by curr are the prime factors im producing to« cardition: New York was the first state to lead «2 with legislation of this kind, The other states that have passed similar bills ara Rhode Island, Maine, Ohio and Maryland. It is a measure solely in the interest of humanity and imposes no expense what~ ever on the state. +02 The three-story building cupled by the Marshall d& Brace printers and bookbinders, burned Sunday. and 0o-
