aria So much for the diplomatic news. It
should be understood, however, thnt the
only man in the Sandwich Islands who
can possibly know about (irrslinm's letter
s Minister Willis. Tho letter win pub
lined In the United States nfter Willis de
parted from 8.i u Francisco nnd no ship has
reached the Sandwich Islands sinco tho
publication, nor will until nhout Thurs
day nxt. IWillls presented Ids credentials
on Nov. 7. On tho night of tho 0th the

and small arms and manned. There they
stayed until 4 n. m. the next dny whin
mej were nu inKen on noani nK'iiu. Ann
much speculation obtains both horonud
lat Honolulu as to tho significance of this
j manoeuvre.
Some say that the movement was tho
'first step In tho forcihlo removal of the
annexers, a step abandoned because the
: provjslonal Kovernmeut's army of 400 men
j is well armed with repenting rilles, and
was understood to bo ready to Unlit any
one who attempted to Interfere with the
.; annexers; that the Instructions to Willis
f did not authorize him to use actual force,
and that all be could do was to "make n
i bluff." Others say the crews were ready to
put down an expected nttempt of tho roy
. allsts to overthrow tho annexers, Willis
haviug order, to inalntaln tho status quo.
for awhile. The royalists say thero ts not
and never has been any danger of tnat
sort.
Secretary areilmm Surprised.
One thing Is ccrtnin and thnt is that
Sccretnry Gresham was surprised nt tho
news ot the continuation of the provision
al government. There wns n good deal ot
running to and fro In tho departments
after the news was received, and when
things settled down tho order of tho day
t was "silence." At uny rato nothing not
even nu opinion could bo gotten out of
any department olllclal. Ouo oxplnna
tlonof the peculiar situation is that Min
ister Willis had! something for the private
ear ot President Dole after thoy Had ex
changed the sugary compliments demand
ed by dlpromntlo usage and that ho was
expected to be quiet nhout tho business,
and negotiate for the stepping dowu of
munexcra "sub roin," us it were.
Auother explanation Is thnt the Instruc
tions to'Willls did not iuvolvo the use of
, force and that when lio found Dolo
. "loaded for interferers" he concluded to
watt and send home for morn Instructions,
i Landing troops nt Honolulu with unkind
ly thoughts tuteut regarding tho govern
ment which we linvo and do recognize
would be a very serious, matter and might
take on a phase In which other powers
would take a hand. There is nnot her ex-

None of tho congressmen hi the city

reticent, because for ouo thing specula

not the slightest doubt but that exports

of cunning, aud when ho thinks be can say

75, and will tnke it to Cincinnati. Tbo
same Arm has purchased tbo clambaku
restaurant building. The governor of
Weit Virginia will get the furniture from
the state's building, and tho house itself
Is still on tho market. The governor of
New Jcrsty though is luckier than his
brother of West Virginia. He is going to
bavo his state's building to loll around in
of summers. New Jersey's house is a
quaint colonial oue, au exact reproduction
of Waihtngton'a hcadquHrtors at Morris-
town. It will be carefully tnken down
and rebuilt somewhere in tho rural por
tion of the stnto as a summer home for
that lucky governor. That other histori
cal building, Mount Vernon, hns been sold
by tho Virginia commission to Jobn Mc-
Gulre of Chicago for MOO. Mr. McGuire
is going to movo it to Seventieth street.
The New York Building.
G. R. McGnnn, executive commissioner
for Maryland, is in Baltimore trying to
decldo what will be dono with bis build
ing, but Commissioner Foley ot New
York is right here in town fretting be
cause some one does not come along and
offer htm some part of the 1110,000 the
Empire state lavished Ion ber big, square,
white palace. New York had this white
elephant comfortably given to the wom
an's board once and accepted, too, but
when Potter Palmer made his big gift for
a permanent memorial building tho
women said they guessed thoy would not
tax New York's generosity, nnd now Air.
Foley Is worrying again. The most oi
New York's furniture has been disposed of
at private sale. The California builuing
has been sold to the World's Fair Wreck
ing and Salvngo company, which pro
poses to use it as a storehouse for mate
rial torn from other buildings for the de
molition ot which the company is negotiating.
