The Cosmopolitan Magazine has been
. reduoed to 11.50 a year, its price
cut in two, in order that it may be
brought into the homes of those
who have been compelled to deny
themselves luxuries. But it is not
diminished in size or intrinsically
cheapened. It will contain the
coming year 1536 pages of reading
by the ablest living authors, wttk oner
1200 illustrations by the best artists.
Three articles in tbe September
aumber, occupying but small space,
cost the publishers the sum of $1666.
All this and The Alliance-Ihd-pendent
for half price.
Among tMe contributors to the Septem
ber Cosmopolitan were William
Dean Howells, Mark Twain, Ex
President Harrison, Walter Besant,
the famous English novelist, Julian
Hawthorn, and Murat Halstead.
In the list of artists at work upon this
great magazine are found the fol
lowing famous names: Rochegrasse.

On account of the many rumors
current of ccntemplated action of tba
queen's au lorters tbe provisional
government found it necessary to keep
two companies of soldiers nnder arms
for several nights after the Alamda
Balled. The editor of the Evening?
Star then requested Minister Wllllama
to submit a statement to the public to
allay the general feeling of uncertain
ty, when he is said to have said. "Yea,
1 believe that the time has come when
it is right and proper for me to nsa
my discretion in this matter. You ara
authorized to say for me, no change,
in the preaent situation will taka
place for several weeks. I forwarded
my dispatches to Washington by to
day's steamer and until I receive an
answer to them no change will taka
place in the present situation, nor will
any be allowed." '
"What do you mean by the expres
sion 'nor will any be allowed?" "
"I mean just this that until the
time cornea for me to carry out my in
structions, the peace and (rood order
of this community will be kept undis
turbed in tbe interest of humanity;
that any attempt made by any person
or persons to make trouble will be
checked. You may put the matter
more plainly and say that even if the
provisional government discharged all
its troops to-day no lawlessness would
be allowed for one moment under tha
present situation of affairs. Tha
whole Hawaiian question is now in
abeyance and nothing the newspapers
can say or do will alter the situation
one iota. I make this statement oa
my own rpnnaibility and in the hope)
that it vill allav the present excite
ment No one need fear trouble."
After this statement rumors began
to fly about that the queen's support
ers would make a Snal rally tn her
behalf. The crews of the United
States men-of-war Philadelphia and
Adams were held ready to land at a
moment's notice.
Tbe queen'a advocate came ont th
next day with a denial of the Wlllia
Interview, saying he was misquoted,
and by Inference gav encouragement
to the Idea that Willis had or would
receive an Imperative order to restore
the queen.
Th newspapers containing Mr.
Itlount's report had not reached th
islands when Klickitat sailed.
