Aside from the queen and her ministers , the officers of the old government were requested to continue In the performance of their respective duties. Existing laws not Inconsistent with the proclamation were continued. Tlio queen and cabinet yielded uncondi I- tionally Tlio government building was BcUed by tlio revolutionists and the now gov ernment was sustained by the bayonets of volunteers. Things looked squally for a time. The first move was the presentation of a now constitution to the queen by tlio native legis lature.

" Mr White replied , thanking the queen and assuring her of the love of the people : and that they would patiently wait until their desires should 1m fulfilled , to which the queen responded with thanks and left the thi-nn 9 room.

Ho de ll manded the lives of the members of the cabinet who had opjmsed the wishes of her majesty and d < vlireoi that ho thirsted for their blood AildroisiMl the Crowd. A few moments later the queen went out upon the uppev balcony of the palace and ad dressed the crowd. aden She told them that on account of tno prr.ldy of her ministers she was unable to give them ttio constitution which she had promised them , but she would take the earliest opportunity of procuring It for them. The crowd then ij.ivo throe cheers Hoprcsontativo White then proceeded teL tbo stops of the palace and began an address. He told the crowd that the queen and cabi net had betrayed them , and that , instead ibiof going home peaceably , they should go to the Iialaco and kill and bury her. Attempts were made to stop him , which ho resisted , , saving ho would never close his month until n now constitution was granted. Finally ho yielded to the expostulations of Colonel Boyd and others , throw up his bunds and declared that he was uu" for the present. After this the audience dispersed. News was brought to the cltUons down toM-n that the attempt to carry a revolution through had , for the moment , failed. How ever , appreciating the fact that \\w \ \ trouble had only just begun , they did not dispense , but continued the consideration of the euicrtcucy.

The members of the Hill Kalalalna were angry enough to tear Iho queen to pieces when they learned she had weakened and would not give them their new constitution. They were an abject look ing lot as they marched on Ilingstrcot. The revolutionist party held a meeting at that place Sunday morning. Aitlird fur Their 1'rn.ver * . Tlio queen called In the Hawaiian pastors , who wore present , to pray that aho mh/ht keep her throne and told them that evil minded foreigners were tryln ? to take it away from her. The early arrlvnl of the United States steamship Boston cut an Important figure In the proceedings of Saturday. In the minds of many the presence of the warship prc- vented the promulgation of the constitution. The now instrument , which the revolution ists wisli to proclaim , U really the old con stitution , which gave so much power to the sovereign. One of the officers of the house- bold guards was heard to say that they had enough arms and ammunition to 1:111 every Paolo in tno country. Hopresentativo Kaukamano stood on the palace steps on Saturday and wanted the natives to murder Ministers Parker and Col- luirn because they did nut support the rovo- lutionary scheme. of the ( ( evolution. Further particulars of the revolution are as follows : All day Tuesday , the ISth , the community was in a slate of expectancy , looking to the committee of public safety to do something to end the state of tension and to secure the rlghtsof all the citizens against encroachment , once and for all. The com mittee in tlio meantime was not idle , but was Incessantly occupied completing its or ganization and perfecting final nrr.ingomon.ts . necessary to the proclamation of a provisional - visional government , and its protection by an armed force. At about : i.TO : o'clock an attempt was made by three native policemen to arrest tlio progress of n wagon which was being driven up Fort street by Mr. Bonncr and Mr. Good. Those in charge of tlio wagon resisted the attempt of the ollleers to arrest Its course. One of the oil lee rs making a motion to draw a revolver , Mr. Good drew his own , and calling attention to the fact that he was justified in the shooting , ho tired , seeking , however , to avoid the infliction of a dungcr- ous v/ound. The wagon pursued its way , followed by a policeman in a hack. This episode precipitated the movement. The citizens hurried to Borelania street armory , where they \\ero formed into com panies , armed and marched to the govern- ment building. Ktmil Hit ) I'rocliimntlon of Itrvolutlim. In the meantime the committee of public safety , accompanied by members of the gov ernment about to ho formed , proceeded to the government building. They were en tirely unarmed. Arriving at the government building the committee inquired for the cabi ! l- not , but the ministers were not to bo found. They then demanded and received of id.r. .

Before the reading of Iho proclamation was completed , volunteers from tiio Hitlcs armory began leer assemble in force. The grounds of AlicolanI ' hall were cleared and a guard set at all the gates. The provisional government then sent for the late ministers , who were at tlio police station. Two of them came , and llnally all four repaired to the headquarters of the now ) government , whcro a formal demand was made upon them for possession of tlio pollco station. The ex-ministers asked for time to delibar- uio upon this demand. They went to the palace in company with Samuel M. Damon and held a consultation with Queen Mlliuo- kalani. The result was a compromise propo sition , which.was rejectcn by the provisional government. Yielded I'licnntlltlnmitly.

HBIIM.V , Jan. 21 [ New York Her.ild Cable Special to TUB HUB. ] Berlin was rl.ht busy celebrating the Ulth birthday of the kaiser yesterday. Berllncra , from all ap pearances , think a good dc-il more of their kaiser's goburstag than they did of the wed ding ' which , latter event was looked upon with a certain amount of inliflferonco. In tlio palace a perpetual fete was If-pt up all day. Those who had come for the wedding stopped for the birthday festivities. The llrst ' incident of the nurniug. at half past , was the trooping in of the royal children to greet their father. I had a good opportunity of watching the bays at the wedding , and I am parfectly agreed with my neighbor , who remarked that , young as they are , they have tlio same military appearance that char acterizes tlio kaiser. They are well built , though plight , lads and hold themselves splendidly. At S o'clock there are no lio-abe.ls at the palace. ' The choir boys of the palace , who wear curious brown uniforms and broad , black caps , were ushered Into the royal presence and s inif. Trumpet blasts were sounded from the tops of ono of the seliloss cupolas anil two of tlio r.tthnus. During Iho whole morning ICiiiserVilhelm rcc"ived tlio royalties , seml-royalllos and high function aries , all of whom came in carriages of state to present their congratulations. ( i.ty llolldiv : Crowds. Tlio streets were gay with bunting and were tilled with i eoplo. thous inds upon thousand.- ' having come in from adjacent villages | and towns. At half-past 1" the crowd was at Its greatest , and the cafes , which . , abound on Untcr den Linden , were filled with students and cadets. The cadets on | this one day in Ihe year may frequent the cafes orwithausor and make the most of it , The broad pavements were crowded to overflowing. At this moment tlio kaiser , in an open carriage , drove down Untcr den Linden to the park and to the Cliarlotlcn- burg p'llaco. Thuro ho left the carriajfo and ' took a walk around the park. Then ho 'drove to Grcnwald , returning lo Iho schloss at half-past . All along the road he was warmly and enthusiastically greeted. The kaisorino , Prince and Princess Henry , and nearly all the rest of the royalties and they abound now in Berlin drove and walked about. The kaiser's birthday was not celebrated as a business holiday , but was a holiday in tiled to He iidrcat Day. Formerly the kind's birthday was cele brated with tlio utmost enthusiasm , cannon salutes were iired , gun and pistol shots were lot off , fireworks were exploded turl a good deal of liorso play was indulged in. But tlio scones became- too rough and llreworks and shooting were forbidden. The Berliners re sented tno order and indulged themselves more than ever. The police and military interfered and a revolt was the result , know tyMl as tliofireworks revolt of 18.V ; ) during which there was much bloodshed and the lamps and windows of the Frederick palace were broken , as well as all the lamps in Untcr den Linden. From that time the royal birthday has not been celebrated as liea business holiday. In the evening there was a grand banquet at the palace. I will not glvo you the names. It would bo merely repeating these of the royal wedding party. Afterward the entire - tire party proceeded in stale to the opera house , where a gain performance was iivcn. ; ( .iraf von Hockberg , superintendent of the opera , led iho way into tlio royal box , which occupies the center of the thoatcr exactly opposite the slago , and is largo enough to scat sixty. The seats are roomy arm chairs , covered with crimson. A handsomer royal box there is not in Europe. Count von Hocli- berg in full uniform of white , covered with | orders of merit and distinction in the mili tary service , entered the box first. At once tlio whole audlonco stoo.l up and remained so until tlio royal party was sealed.O The performance consisted of tlio third act of "The Molstorsingcr , " with entirely now scenery according to the setting of Mine. Wagner. This was followed by tlio famous Vicnoso doll ballet , one of tlio prettiest and most original ballets ever put on the slago and admirably done for Berlin. There was a largo dinner party at heat Club von Berlin , an 1 , for the matter of that , at almost every club here. TnlliliiK About Wedding * .

The Iteiclistag commit tee on the army bill has concluded the gen eral debate on that measure , and today pro ceeded with the translation of tlio several clauses. Tlio closing debate showed an in creased disposition to accept the govern ment's proposals , tlio only material opposi tion being offered by : i faction Of the center party , led by Dr. LlelHjr j . Baron Stifmin said-he l lieved the govern ment would offer a compromise that would bo acceptable to the' ' frcisinnigo party , though It could not try to make terms with the socialists. Chancellor von Caprlvi once moro appeared before the committee and sx | > ko in favor of the bill , urging that It bo approved In Its en tirety. The measure , ho said , was not in tended to a ert a momentary danger of an acute nature. It aimed to make suitable provision for a state of things which lie must describe as a persistent , permanent danger. Ciincrduil AllTlicy Conlil. Dr. Lieber reaffirmed that it was impossi ble for His party to concoJo moro than it did already done , whereupon the chancellor curtly closed the discussion by expressing the hope that a consideration of the clauses of the bill would convince the centrists of the necessity of supporting the measure. The members of the committee concur in tlio opinion that the chancellor's words men aced an appeal to the country if the bill was not passed by the Kcichstag. The budget commission of the Hcichstag is now rapidly voting the new credits for the navy under the impulse of Chancellor von Caprivi's directions that there is danger of 'a coalition of the fleets of Franco , Kussia and Denmark. Though tlio reception , of the czarowitch here is not likely to modjfy the grouping jhof the powers or reverse the policy of Kussia , it is decidedly a temporary check to the French party at the c/ar's court.

The impression that tlio czarowitch cre ated on diplomats and members of tlio Im perial household during his visit is the re- vcrsn of what is recorded by the semi- oflk'ial press.

" .Aimrs fin-linn llcnnttt.l PAUH , Jan. M. [ Now York Herald Cable Special to Tun HUE. ] This has been a very exciting week. M. Dovello , minister of foreign affairs , has bcim passing through panics of which the public lias had no Idea. Besides the Panama canal scandal the ministers : isters have boon busy with foreign affairs. Wo have had two things weighing heavily on - us. The first was the affair with Eng- hind ' , the second the affair with Austria. . England , as you know , has taken a position In Egypt directly contrary with treaties made with Europe , and in which Franco is a co-signatory power. It is quite evident that in the discussion with Prince Abbas , the khcdlvo , tlio question is not as to meio ministerial changes , but as to whoso hand shall llnally grasp Egypt. It is no longer a question of a protectorate , but of an nexation , ipuro and simple. Besides , they want to know whether Franco cau tolerate such an Illegal proceeding. England ] speaks of tlio interests of civiliza tion. The question is , are tlio interests of civilisation really in the game ? It is el ear that the English occupation of Egil't is ab solutely contrary to the desires and wishes of tlio Egyptian population , as has boon proved by the demonstration at Cairo. Three ( ireitt INnvcru liivoltnl , Are not all the treaties regulating the Egyptian ' ' question , and making her forever the vassal of Tin-key in force ? England cannot by herself tear up all those treaties. There is now an Intcrchni.go of notes between Hie two countries' , and they have taken on a sharp character , France , who lias the right on her side , is now beginning to understand that she made an error in not entering Egypt in 1831. England , who Is strong In the right of possession , will not even think of evacuation. - Because Lord Kosc- bcry , the British .minister for foreign af fairs , has strong German sympathies , it Is possible that the hand of Germany'may bo seen In tills aggressive political move of England. The same reflection may bo made as ro- gards'lho quarrels sought by Austria this iss week. Count Hoyos , the Austrian ambas sador here , has reproached Franco with tlio articles appearing in tlio Pans newspapers , alleging that they were injurious 9.to Austria. Count Hoyos , who has tow been eight years in France , knows that the government can do nothing in this matter. There are no press laws in France , It was thought at first that the complaints were not serious , but Count Hoyos has returned twlcu to the charge , de manding the second time that apologies ebc made , when he knew the ih'csent character of Austrian diplomacy. No one can believe that such a move was inspired by Austrl i. There must bo other influences at work and it is thought that they are German. This is Iho belief In Inn France , where public opinion is always In clined lo decide an neeus-ition against the neighboring empire ; but what we must em- pluisi/.o and which wo beg the citizens of the great American republic to believe , is thut no provocation has come from France , which is desirous of peace. Sml Diiyn for Knincpt From the very beginning of that sad I an- ninn affair France has been covered with In sults from the press of every land , which does not discriminate between the guilty few ! and the great mass of honest Frenchmen. Is it necessary to protest against such in.us- lice ? Franco wants peace. Franco is 1Sin bad condition , interiorly , and yet from all sides comes a bitter attack upon her. You Americans , removed far from us , in- joying liberty and without Jealous and nm - blttercd neighbors , you ought to understand how wo suffer. Sometimes I think that tl lo trials of Hits week will not bo renewed , but the situation cannot become worse. JACQUES ST. Ccun.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to Tin : Hnrj.J Count Walderseo caused a great surprise by a speech delivered at Altona on the occasion of tlio kaiser's birthday , in which lie came forward as a warm advocate of tlio military bill , which lie strongly urged ought to bo passed In the interest of the maintenance of peace. The general opinion previously was that Wnldersoo was opposed to tlio bill. He was in Berlin for tlio royal wedding. This speech is tlio result of a long interview with tiio kaiser. It clears the atmosphere very much. The Tageblatt says the speech Is of tlio highest interest , as Walderseo was formerly opposed to the bill. The Vossische /eitungsays : "Walderseo formerly said ho would servo the emperor as a soldier , but not as a confidant. Now it looks as though . it were otherwise as though ho considered himself the successor to Caprlvi. " Ono llnnilrnil Mlnrr.t I'cilslicd. Bup.v-PnsTii , Jan. 'J8. A partially success ful elTort was made last night to rescue the men who were entombed yesterday morning by the explosion In the coal mine. Fifty- seven were tniccn out of the mine by means of an unused shaft. There are still thirty- three men in the mine. They are beyond doubt dead , as the whole interior of the mine is a roaring furnace. Two of the rescuing party today lost their lives. One hundred men have perished in the disaster.

Thurston , the chairman of the Hawaiian commission , said that things were lu such a position now that no party or class of resi dents was fully capable of establishing a state government and naturally eamo to the United States. The condition of affairs was much moro threatening than was Indicated by the Hawaiian papers. It was declared that the queen's intention was to ultimately expel all the foreigners from the country. The proposed disfran- chiscment of all except the native born waste to bo the first step. After expelling all the I foreigners their property was to have been confiscated. Property was protected only by a volunteer force of BIX ) men and marines and the blue jackets from the Boston. It was affirmed by Mr. Thurston that if this gov ernment failed to annex the Islands ft' ' would bo left open to anarchy. The old treaty between Franco and England made In 1HCJ recognized the independence of the Islands. England under that treaty cannot annex , nor can France. Tito United States at th time refused to bo bound or to Join in the treaty , but simply recognized the independence enceof the government. llS Mr. Thurston said further : "The last leg islature was the most corrupt ever known. It passed a lottery bill and an opium bill. To crown all , the queen wanted to promulgate I'oa constitution to disfranchise foreigners , abel 1- ish the Nobles and abrogate the supreme ; court , and , in short , give all the power into the hands of the natives. The intelligent people of the islands , as well as the for eigners , said that this would not do , and re solved that the only source left open was an nexation to America. I have but little doubt that this country will accept the Islands. If they do not the people will surely turn to England , who will bo only too glad to accept us. " VT.III .ixn tiT.irinnui > .

[ Special Telegram to Tun Bun. ] Tlio work of tlio political pro curers is in full blast. Tlio potent oil room in full sway and .ho mercenaries whoso work It is to debauch members of the legislature , have settled iiown to th"lr nefarious busi ness in dead earnest. An oil room lias al ready been established in the state house , and the path to it has become familiar to more than ono legislator , who bids fair to bo a willing visitor to tlio seductive wiles of the professional monopoly cap pers. It is located on the third floor , near tlio west end of the build ing , and the door leading to It Is just at the right of the entrance to the senate gallery. In it is a full stO'-k of wines , liquors and cigars , which were taken there last Thurs day night several hours after sunset. The individual < in charge is Uobort Emerson of Otoo county , who was appointed by the sen ate to the position of Janitor on the recoin- mendation of Senator Ilabcock. He is as- s'sted in the work of ladling oit | liquid en- tcrtainment to the legislative visitors by a young man named Deems , who acted as stenographer ( | In the gubernatorial ofllco dur ing the incumbency of ex-Governor Hoyd , but who was recently let out of a job by the change In the administration. The apartment is known as Hancock's oil room , and there Is Indubitable proof at hand re garding the goods there on tap to show that the place is not improperly designated. It is stated that Babcock lias offered to take the contract to kill all bills unfavorable to corporations , and tint ho has fairly good facilities for so doing , there is little room to doubt. "Vmtilervoiirt'rt Host " But the man of absolutely immaculate gall is Paul Vandorvoort , ' who , under the pre tense of being hero In Iho Interest of the Industrial legion , of which ho Is tha more or loss illustrlo-is comniaiider-m- chief has opened an oil room at tlio. Llii'Jell hotel , whcro ho is daily and nightly engaged In corrupting members in order that ho may fasten his digital clamps upon them when anti-monopolist bills comu up for passage. Ho has already cndi'ivorcd to secure the assistance of other ? In tliis work , and lias stated to several of the workers who were engaged with him , two years ago that ho had made nrrnnge- ments with the telephone- company to pay their expenses during the session. It is known that ho has offered the ser vices of tlicso Individuals In advance and tried lo make terms with certain corpora- tlons for their services at so much per month , while afterward endeavoring to get them to work for their expenses. In this way ho would bo able to pocket the money paid by the corporations for the work of others. On the day before the departure of Mr. Oxnard of Grand Island lie went to the beet sugar prince and demanded the sum of foOOa month , expenses for the work of himself and two assistants in the interests of the boot sugar bill.

Ho points with apparent pride to u , clause In the constitution which provides that the name of any member who betrays tlio party or sells out ono of its candidates shall bo at once forwarded and published to every branch of the legion in the country , and pompously announces that It was duo solely to Ills work that It was placed there. It is his fond anticipation that In case ho Is charged with corporation lobbying at the conclusion of the session lie will bo able to hold up his right hand and swear j that he never asko 1 a member to vote for or against n bill , hoping thereby to convince independents of his uprightness and Integ rity , when as a matter of fact ho has covered up his tracks by securing others to do the work for him.

It is stated that Edgorton has withdrawn from the senatorial race in the Interest of Vandcrvoort who , in return , proposes to make him organi/er of the Industrial legion of the state of Oregon. Both Edger- ton and Vandervoort have been busily engaged in circulating the story of their alleged enmity to each other , but It Is a well known fact that the only difference between thorn was as to their re- Bpcctlve candidacies for tlio scnaloridilp. Edgorlon charged his fellow Independent with selling him out when a candidate for the supreme bench , and Vundervoort retali ated by going to Omaha last Saturday and returning with u letter written to him by Edgcrtcn last August , while Yandervoort was stump- Ing Oregon in the interest of the national populist tlcki-l , in which Edgcrlon de nounced Die Independent party In terms of the most shocking vllencss , and which /would furnish amphs grounds for criminal action for violation of the poslal laws.
