WASIIIXOTOX , Nov. 15. The chief interest In the Hawaiian situation now Bin-rounds the Instructions plvcn to Minister Willis nnil the contents of the cipher message which was received after the" arrival oMlio China. " \Vhllo the same answer regarding instruc- tlons to forclirn ministers Is made at the do- pnrtmont , "that , such instructions are never imvlo public , " yet it scorns that from tlmo to lime something docs como out. A number of people are now quite familiar with some Important features of the in structions. There is no doubt of Minister 'Willis being Instructed to make the restora tion of LtUuoltalanl conditional upon full amnesty being granted to the men who en gaged in the revolution and overthrow the queen. Minister Willis , it is under stood , was instructed to insist upon this be cause the president felt that the revolution would not liavo occurred had it not been for the assistance and co-operarion of this gov ernment through the Into Minister Stevens. Uuarnutced Protection. Mr. Willis was Instructed to say to these members of the provisional government that the president felt that ho ought to protect them to this extent , because ho believed that had It not been for tjio authority of the United States used by Minister Stevens they would never have been led into the revolution. The Instructions , it is thought , requested the minister to first call upon the queen ami tell her the president believed a great wrong had been done and after Insist ing upon amnesty declare tho.lntention of placing her in control of. the government. She was also to be informed that it was the deslro of the president that she should pla cate those who had been instrumental 'In her overthrow and sustain herself in author ity without the assistance of the United States. From the cipher dispatch it Is bclinvcd that the State department has been in formed that these conditions are satisfac tory to the queen and had oeen accepted by her at the tlmo the China sailed. To President Dole It is understood that Minister Willis was instructed to say that the president felt that in maintaining the noninterference policy of thn government he felt it necessary to decide the matter as If a dispute had been referred to him , and restore - store the queen , and in sustaining tin ; quean the president hoped to have the hearty co-operation of the members of the Dole administration , which he felt was entitled to' commendation for what it had done to maintain peace in the islands since It had been In existence. After having righted what it considered , a wrong done by this government , the United States would assume the same policy , of noninterference as In the affairs of other powers. Mlliinkaliml Will .Comply. It is thought that the queen was ready to comply with the suggestions , and that she will ask the members of the provisional government to aid her , because her friends , no doubt , bollevo that she can moro easily sustain herself by having the assistance of those who were prominent in the revolution. The members of the provisional government will bo willing , it is believed , to take Hiich positions , because it is giving thorn Just the power they would wish for In ease they desired to take part in another revolution , which Is possible , it thcro Is no provision niado to sustain the queen after she is re stored. It is upon the yet unpublished report of Mr , mount that the administration depends for a complete vindication of its attitude. It is anticipated that thcro will bo warm debates - bates upon the subject when It comes before congress , which will urlng out all the facts. rlho Information upon which the letter of Secretary Orcshani was based will then have been made public , and , while it is an- tlcipatcd that the statements made will bo disputed , it is claimed that they will bo sus tained by sucn overwhelming evidence that the people who are disposedto look at the matter fairly will bo compelled to acknowl edge that the administration could do noth ing else but rostora the queen , * I'larvit on Ilio Dnfcmilvc. There is no doubt but the administration feels that it ison thedcfeusivo.and that thcro jsa * tendency , especially among republicans nnd many democrats , to criticise Us action , The claim that tlmo will show beyond all doubt that it took the proper course Is made , with such persistency in various quarters , us If with the intention of creating the im pression that there is a great deal in reserve - servo for vindication purposes. There U no denying the fact that thoco are a great many men , who are partisans of the president , who feel that a mistake L Ms been made , and who cannot reconcile tliomsolvos to the restoration of the queen , and cauoclally sustaining her by force of arms. Thuro are enough members of the president's party who say that It U all right to restore the conditions that existed oeforo the revolution , if it was brought ubout by the inlluonco and assistance of the United States government or through the inllueuco of Minister Slovens , but after that the Hawallans should ho allowed to settle their troubles In their own way. In answer to the assertion made that the president and secretary of state are destroy ing u reuublio and letting up a monarchy .tho statement Is niado that there never ex isted a worse despotism than tlmt of the provisional eovernmont in Hawaii. An ofUclal of the department said today that "It was a despotism of Jlvo persons hnd the people were hold under their absolute con trol , " Ho also asserted that thcro would bo 'a treat change In the sentiment of llio people ple when ull the facts wore known , Kevplni ; Tlicir Moutlit Cloitxl. Persons lu the State department continue * absolutely uncommunicative about any now 'pbusa of the situation. Some idea of the accuracy of published assertions that li&vo been advanced as speculations and per sisted lu can , however , bo had. Thifs It is that ttto oouuotl'm l lUU govern * mont will bo that the provisional govern ment of Hawaii imo to an end by Its own terms when United States Minister Willis notified President Dole that the United States rejected the projected annexation of the Islands on the grounds that the govern ment was only formed to act until the isl ands should bo annexed. The law books on limitations hold that the terms "until" a thing occurs terminates the cnsoonly by the recurrence of the thing unices U Is Impossi ble that it should occur. This would ralso a legal qulbblo as to whether the derision gf President Cleveland to reject annexation made It Impossible that annexation over should occur. Those best qualified to spcalt for Presi dent Cleveland and Secretary Gresham. who have been witling to speak at nil , have ex pressed great confidence that ex-Queen Lllluokalanl Ima ulrcady boon restored to her throne no later than last Wednesday. The equally contldcnt assertions of thoao best acquainted with the character nnd re sources of the provisional government , that she certainly could not have boon restored without the use of force , has made no differ ence , apparently. In the confidence of these who claim that she has been restored. rrolKinly U cil I'arco. This has led to the Inference that Minister WllliV Instructions were to employ forco. If necessary , to accomplish the purpose for which ho was sent , am ) that marines were probably landed in Honolulu on Wednesday If tiny objection wns offered oy the pro- .visional government to the program pro posed. But Secretary Oresham's formal acknowledgement of severed relations between - twoon the Hawaiian legation and this gov ernment make It seem Incredible that In structions can have been given to land marines in Honolulu for purposes of aggression upon the provi sional government. The confidence of those near the president that the queen has been already reotorcd is thought to be duo to their belief that the provisional govern ment would yield immediately to the sugges tion of the United States minister that the provisional government had terminated and the sovereignty thereof returned to the queen's government. It is believed Minister Willis * instructions are. if the provisional government refuses to yield to his sugges tions , to await farther instructions. A prominent oflicial of the Navy depart ment , aftot mquirln ? for news today , said : "I don't believe orders have been given to land marines in Honolulu. " The favorite response of naval ofllcers to a query for their opinion on the Hnwaiiuu question Is : "I have an opinion , out do not feel free to express It , " lilography of Lllliiok : > linl. : The original right of the queen to the throne of Hawaii was by nomination of her brother. The Hawaiian constitution , founded on custom , provided for this mode of succession. When a monarch failed to provide a successor the choice reverted to the upper houseof the legislature. When Lunalllo died in 1S73 , after n very brief reign , ho named his successor. The House of Nobles ehoso David Kalaknua. Ho had been a police cqurt lawyer in Honolulu and played a banjo at dances for a consideration. ills wife. Kuplolaul , bad been the widow of a South Sea island missionary. At ono time she helped her husband by making clothes. Kulakaua's mother was of the blood of the low chiefs , as was his ronuted father. It is notorious , however , that his real father was a negro barber. ICalnlcaua and his full sister , Lilluokamni , show wide divergence from the Hawaiian racial type. The late Prin cess Ukclike , mother of Princess Kaiulani , half-sister of LlliuokalnnI , was of pure na tive blood , and her appearance was in marked contrast to that of her brother and sister. Preceding Kulakuun , with the ex ception of Lunnlllo , there had never been liny king that was not of the pure blood of Iho high chiefs. When Knlnknua was elected king the natives broke out in riot ing , and he was only installed by the forces of foreign powers. ON V1UKNUI.Y TICK.MS. MlnUter Tliurstoil'a Stiuidlnp ; Not Affected liy lltcent ICvoutn. WASHINGTON , Nov. 13. Minister Thurston of Hawaii has not demanded his passports. Ills relations , with this country are still , to all appearances at least , of the most friendly character. The fact that It is so after the conference ho had with Secretary Gresham yesterday is considered by diplomats to be significant. The relations between the Hawaiian legation and the State depart ment remain undisturbsd. The Hawaiian government , however , will stand on its rights as an independent sovereignty , and its policy will be toxtegard. . as an act of war any movement looking to iho restoration of the queen. A legation does not remain in a country that has declared war against Ins government. its natural course would bo to demand his passport and get without the limits of the hostile country. Minister Thurston , indeed , has no oflicial Information that this country has de clared iT.nr on his government , Secretary Grcshum'a published letter addressed to the president contains much information , it is true , but , under the punctilious require ments of diplomacy , It is not sufficient basis for Minister Thurston to act upon , because it has not been oftlclally addressed to him. It Is , however , sufllclont basis fur him to make u request on the secretary for informa tion as to the United States u-ovcrnmont's Intentions toward his government. That was undoubtedly the purpose of Ills visit to Secretary - rotary Gresham yesterday. ' 1 his visit was satisfactory as assuring the continuance of the present friendly status toward the Ha waiian legation. It is scarcely possible that orders can have boon given to restore Queen I.llluokalanl by force whiln thn Department of State Is still seeking to maintain friendly relations with the legation here. ox 1'Hir.iTJs nomxEsa. l're lil < iiit Clovcluml' * Trip to New Voric City l ; i > ! ulurcl , New YOIIK , Nov. 15.

Uooorts are current hero of another attempted dynamite out rage in this city. According to the story told , n detachment , of troops , bound for a steamer whtoh was to con voy thorn to Mclilla , was march ing from the barracks down to the dock through crowded streets yesterday cvonlne , when u man who was working upon a liouso along the route followed by the sol diers noticed a bomb to which was attached a burning fuse upon a balcony and lu such a position that if exploded it would kill a number of soldiers on their way to Morocco. The workman Is said to have made his way bravely to the balcony , where ho put out the burning fuse and informed the authorities of this now outrage. In addition the gates of the barracks at Villa Ncuva , near this city , have been de stroyed by the explosion of a dynamite bomb. Though the walls of the barracks wc-ro damaged , nobody was hurt by the ex plosion. It Was n llelll-h Plot. It is stated Judge Comcueh has In his possession the names of all tno persons who were connected with the bomb outrage at the Licco theater last week , and that the culprits are in custody. The plan , if suc cessfully carried out , would have Involved a wholesale destruction of life. Each of the plotters was to carry a bomb into the theater nnd station themselves in different parts of the gallery. Ono was deputized to turn off the gas , nnd at a signal , the bombs were to be thrown. The man who was to put out the lights failed to find the meter and ono of his companions , growing impa tient of waiting for darkness , threw his bomb down into the stalls. IN A LONDON Young rioyrt Toll * of Ills Connection ! ) with Kmlier.xler Solicit ; . Losnox , Nov. 15. From a remark dropped by Frank fcloya , who , with Phillip Scheitf , is now inHulIoway jail awaiting extradition proceedings on the charge of robbing the Bank of Minneauolls , it would seem that Louis knows less about Scheig's affairs and the whereabouts of the remainder of the money than ho Is generally credited with knowing. The remark referred to was made during an interview which an Associated press representative had with the prisoner at Halloway jail today. It appears that President Richard T. Klrby of the Minneap olis bank cabled to President Gllllg of the United States exchange here , who-repro- sents the bank , that ho would take care of Floyd and his brother , and their mother begced him , referring to Frank Floyd , to tell him ( Mr. Glllia ) where the remainder of the money was hidden. Louis Floyd , ac cording to advices received hero , wa ai1- rested at U'ordswortlj. Mr. Gillie , after the reoeipt of Mr. Klrby's mcosage , had a long interview with Frank Floyd , but wns una ble to prevail upon him to tell what bad become - come of the missing money. An Associated press reporter saw Floyd soon after Mr. Gllllg had left him. Floyd was evidently much agitated about Mr. Kirby's message and talkca freely upon the subjact , saying : "I should be glad to tell if 1 know anything about the remainder of the money , if there was any , but 1 don't know * anything. Mr. Kir by says that mother and my brother want mo to tell where the money Is. Louis Jtnows more about the affairs than I do. Hu managed ull the financial part of Scheig's ffalrs. " When pressed further , Floyd said : "Neither of us know anythlug. x\Vhon wo left homo with Scheig I knew nothing about the money stolen and thought ho was leav- inc on account of domestic troubles. I changed my name because I was always known us a friend of Scheitf and did not want them to trace hlnj through mo. Wo have novcr had nny money bevond what wo spent. I know jho hud thcso denoslt notes and a big roll of bills. I saw the latter lust at Charleston.

PARIS , Nov , 15.

The doctor now fears that serious complications may ensue to M. Goorgovltch owing to the heavy loss of blood and the fac that the minister's nerves were paralyzcc by the shock. M.

Laut tiler , who is believed to be insane , is said to bo u shoemaker by trade and to bo only 10 years old. Before making his at tempt urea tno life ot the Servian minister ho had dined well in the restaurant and hat partaken of a bottle of champagne , which after finishing , ho did not offer to settle for but remained iu his chair , leaning his olboxr on the tabla.

The arrested men fit the description of the trio who at tempted to hold up the train and were away from homo until 2 a. m. the morning follow ing the night of the holdup. .lull by Acrlilvut. The capture of the railroad bandits was an unexpected bit of work by Clilef of Police Mitchell and two of his best men. On November 0 a clothing store in the neigh boring town ot Clinton was robbed of a largo quantity of clothtcg , Jewelry aud and notions. Daughters of Shells , the oldest of the Jailed trio , began displaying gloves , silk handkerchiefs and jewelry , a circum stance which was speedily reported to the police. An Investigation was started and the important information mation came out that Shell's and the two men , Van Motor and Howe , now arrivals here , wera away from their home at Shell's place the night of the train holdup. A detective began to work on the ease under the direction of Chief Mitchell , aud one day sufllced to warrant the oDlcers to take the desperate altern ative of raiding Shell's house. When the door was burst in , a gust of winu ex tinguished : i low light , but a dark lantern was flnsliea and Shell was arrested In an at- teinpt to gain hold of a loaded revolver. The other two men wcro in bed with Shells and were commanded to llo still , which they did under gloaming revolvers in the hands of the men who proposed to give the criminals no chance to add moro victims to their list. The three men vrero ortlerod up , searched and inarched to jail , and search brought forth three revolvers of 88-callbsr , the sarao size as the ono which sent a bullet into the bowels of Braicoman Troit , who re sisted the hold-up of the train.

The judge said In substance : "Every president , director , cashier , teller , clerk or agent of n banking association who embezzles , abstracts , or willfully misapplies any moneys , funds or credit of the associa tion ; or who without authority from the directors Issues or puts In circulation any notes of the association , or who without such authority issues or puts In circulation any certificate of deposit , draws any order or bill of exchange , makes any ac- ccptanco , assigns any bond , not i , draft or bill of exchange , mortgage , judgment or de cree , or who makes any false entry In any book , report or statement of the association with Intent In either case to Injure or defraud - fraud the association or any other company , body , politic or corporate , or any individual person or to deceive anv olllcer of the associ ation or any agent appointed to examine the affairs of nny such association nnd every pci-son who , with like intent , aids or abets nny officer , clerk or agent in any violation , Is initlty of a misdemeanor , punishable by imprisonment iu the state prison. "No Ruch association , tno judge said , has the right to loan moro thru one-tenth the capital stock actually paid in. If a company or firm is composed of several members the aggregate amount loaned to the several members thereof cannot exceed the one- tenth part of Its paid-up capital stock. Any officer of such association who knowingly or willfully loans a irroater amount Is guilty of n willful misapplication of the funds of such association. It would also bo a willful misuDDlicalionof the moneys and credits of such association for nny officer having Iho custody or control tnorcof to lo'in or advance the money of such association upon prom issory notes or other securities which such officer at thu time know were worthless , or when ho knows that the money so loaned cannot bo recovered by the association.

Any talso entry made in such report or statement with in tent to injure or defraud any person or to deceive any officer of the association or agent of the government whoso duty it is to examine into the affairs of any such associa tion is guilty of u criminal offense. The officers of b.uucsl bo said , occupy positions of great trust and responsibility. The law justly charges them with the duty of euro and diligence and it exacts from them un swerving honesty and inteirrity. "We hoar almost dally , " said ho , "of men bolng hanged or shot or tortured to death by sell-eonutituted mobs because they claim that the law is not administered by the courts , or that the courts are too slow lu punishing and repressing crime.
