schooner Transit , which sailed three days
ago , the cx-quccn has applied to the pro
visional government for protection , claiming
that she fears violence from foreign resi
dents. The government at oncu granted her
request and a detail of six police wcro at
once ordered by the marshal to guard her
residence. They arc now guarding Wash

In an interview with Attorney General
Smith it was learned that Iho government
docs not an Help i to any present political dis
turbance or trouble of any kind until the
United States is heard on the "contincency' '
mentioned by Minister \\illis. Then the
attorney general said trouble was not antic
ipated , unless a determination had been
reached to restore the ex-queen , whlvh
could not at present DO done. As to the
course thus far pursued by Minister Willis ,
the attorney general declined to express any
opinion.
Undcrilamls Her I > niter.
The Associated press learned yesterday ,
directly from Washington palace , that the
e.v-queeti fully understands her danger in
case thn ITuited States should restore her to
power , and she declared to Minister Willis ,
during his late visit to Snow Cottage , that
she \vould tiavc to decline restoration unless
it was granted her under the armed pro
tcclion of the United States. This state
mcnt 0 is vrittcn upon the very best
authority , and has been made by the ex-
queen upon more than one occasion to others
than the United .States minister.
The political strain continues to be very
creat. The provisional government un
doubtedly commands the situation and the
marshal has matters so arranged that it
would bo iniossiblo | for an attack to be made
upon the executive building without half an
hour's notice to the government fo ees.
The tlreory of restoration has caused con
siderable anxiety in government circles , as
such a cdurso would cause immediate
trouble. It was learned after careful in
quiry that one line of official investigation
has developed the fact that the ox-queen
bhortly expects the return of ex-Princess
Kaiuiani to Honolulu from England.
Kitiiiliinl Will lie There.
The theory Is advanced that should Pres
ident Cleveland bo determined upon the
restoration of the monarchy the ex-princess
will be present to represent the former gov
ernment should not the ex-queen bo avail
able.
able.Tho
The Associated press is able to state that
the bill separating the offices of president of
the provisional government and minister of
foreign affairs will bo passed within a week ,
nnd that Hon. F. M. Hatch , a prominent
American lawvcr and member of the
ndvlbory council , will be appointed minister
of foreign affairs.
The Hawaiian Star recently reprinted
from a San Francisco paper an article charg
ing ex-Marshal Wilson with embezzlement
and with having improper relations with the
queen , u hereupon \\ilson caused the ar
rest of Walter G. Smith , an American edi
tor of the Star , for libol. That day , in re-
l > ortliig the arrest , Smith rcafllnued the
charges and announced that when the case
cair.o to trial ho would put the ox-queen on
tha witness stand , Tha statement caused
Krcat excitement , the royalists saying that
they would revolt before they would allow
Lilinokal.ini to Do brought into court. Smith
was arrested a second tltne , but in his next
issue renewed the charge. Wilson then
threatened In the presence of the marshal to
assassinate the editor. In the meantime
the annexation party raised a largo sum for
the editor's defense. Smith has been ar
rested and released throe times , but Is still
publishing his charges against Wilson.

MtNISTKIt TlltmSTON Ttl.KS.
Hound for SAD I'mticlnci to Onrrf ipon-.l with
llnuuil from There.
Among the passengers on the westbound
overland flyer of the Union Pacific yester
day afternoon was Lornn A. Thurston , the
present Hawaiian minister at Washington ,
Mr. Thurston Is speeding to San Francisco
as fast as steam can carry him. He left
Washington on the Oth and did not ovea lin
ger a day at Chicago. He will arrive in
'Frisco Tuesday morning.
A HIB : representative boarded the Incom
ing train at an Iowa station nnd found Mr.
Thurston snugly ensconced on the.bluo u -
holstpry of the Pullman sleeper "Crnston. "
He was surrounded by several novels , two
massive valises and newspapers which had
evidently been carefully perused in search
of the latest telegraphic advices from Hone
lulu.
Directly across the nUle of the slopper s.U
H. X. Castle , editor of the Honolulu Adver
tiser. This gentleman is accompanying Mr.
Thurston on the trip across the continent.
Dliln't I.lku to Talk.
When first approached both gentlemen
maintained a reticence that wjuld do credit
to the sphinx , but when the reporter dis
played an advance sheet of a cablegram
sent from Aticitland to tiio Associated press ,
announcing the latest neivs from the islands ,
both gentlemen became deeply interested aud
talked at MJUIO length upan the nrescnt state
of affairs Minister Thurston. however , was
exceedingly guarded in his remarks when
ever any reference was made to President
Cleveland's policy toward Hawaii.
"My present trip to 'Frisco is , as a matter
of course , caused by the present state of
affairs ut Hawaii , " said the representative
of tlio provisional government as ho danced
out the window and uttereil his words
with an evident aversion to being inter
viewed , "I ihave come direct from
Washington and shall proceed as rapidly as
possible to my destination. When I left
Washington 1 made no attempt to keep tno
matter in secrecy. 1 did not go around with
a brass band and notify the newspapers that
I was going , but I left in the usual way. It
is not true that I was iriven my passports.
That rumor is not .based on the slightest
semblance of fact.
\VnnH to Cot Nctirer to llnwiill.
"Tile object of my trip to San Francisco is
to make that city my temporary head
quarters in the receipt and forwarding of
dispatches and correspondence pertaining to
Hawaiian affairs , \\ashington is too far
away. I shall reach 'Frisco on Tuesday ,
where I will probably receive advices. A
steamer leaves on the return trip on the
14th. "
"Will you be on that steamer ? ' ' queried the
Interviewer.
"Xo , " responded Minister 'I hurstonr "Mr.
Castle , my companion , will possibly" to
Honolulu. His ouslncss is , however , purely
.personal. "
"Will you po to Honolulu before your re
turn to "Washington ! " was nskod.
"Well. I cannot definitely say just at pres
ent , " was the reply. "It is within the range
of possibilities that I may do so. It all de-
uends upon future events. "
"What do you think of President Clevc
land's policy on Ha-.vaiian affairs1 was the
next query.
The minister replied with emphasis that
he preferred not to talk upon the subject
owing to his ofllcial position.
Onccu Would Need United States llneklus.
In response to an oft-repeated request for
an expression of his views on the Auckland
advices , Mr. Thurston finally responded :
"Tho queen's regime could not bo main
tained without the determined assistance of
the United States. She doubtless Is a ware
of that fact. The provisional government
lias a native Hawaiian at itsjiead. By the
term 'native' I mean a' man born on the
islands , Jilro myself nnd like Mr. Castle over
there. Xatlves of Hawaii are not necessar
ily black men. Not only is President Dole a
native , but two of his cabinet were also
born in Hawaii. Thus you will readily sco
that thcro should be no discrimination in
the use of the term 'nativo' in favor of those
whoso skins are darker than others. "
I'reaunt ( iorernment Alilc tn Stand Alonr.
"Could the provisional government exist
and administer the affairs of Hawaii with
out annexation or a protectorate ? ' asked the
reporter.
"Certainly , " responded Mr. Thurston.
"Well I should say so. " chimed In Mr.
Castlo. "If President Cleveland will just
give is the opportunity we will verify the
assertion. " "
"What Is the present muster of the provis
ional army ? " nsked Tnr. BEE representative.
"About 1'JOO , I believe , " replied the am
bassador from the cross roads of the Pacific.
"Theroaro many Americans auionp the num
ber. "
' 'Is there any truth In the story published
in the newspapers to the effect that a man
named Van Gratia , recently arrested at
Denver , was the bearer of Important dis
patches from President Dele to President
Cleveland1. ? ' was the next interrogatory pro-
jKiundcd to the minister.
"Xo truth in It at all , " was the prompt re
sponse , ns the speaker smiled for the first
tinu * . "It l what you Americans would
call a fake. "
llo Wnulil Nol ri ht.
"If trouble breaks out at Honolulu , would
you go to the front and assume leadership ! "
"Xo , " somewhat short , sharp and decisive.
Another glance out of the window.
Thetfaln had arrived at Iho Union Pacific
transfer at Council IMuffs , twenty minutes
late. Mr. Thurstoi ; and Mr. Cattle arose
from their seats.
"This has been a long journey for mo , "
said Mr. Thurston , as he stretched his arms
and walked out to the platform of thet-oach.
"You will DC hero thirty minutes , " yen-
turod the reporter , whereupon the minister
nnd his companion paced the platform and
chatted la installments over the crisis at
Honolulu.
"I trust Jliero will bo no trouble , " said the
provislonalist. as n Missouri river zephyr
struck his black whUKcrs. "I prefer not to
obcusi possibilities , as you can readily
reilUo the position I nm in at Washington.
1 have nothing lo say against President
Cleveland or Secretary Giosham. I do not
care to discuss their acts. "
DJITurs from Mr. Illouiit.
"Ho-.y about Corr.i.iisoioner Blount's report -

LONDON' , Dec. ' . . [ New York World
Cable Special to Tun IJr.E. ] Last night's
action of the llouso of Lords in a'-ldinc a .
' contracting o-U" amendment to the em
ployers' liability bill is practically ac
cepted by the frovcrnment ns a declaration
of open war against the principles of the bill.
If the Lords stand Jinn this must precipitate
a conflict which very possibly will end in
the speedy dissolution of Parliament
and an nupcal to the people of Great Britain
on the great issue of "ineudluz or ending"
the House of Lords , with 'home rule and
other liberal measures as only subordinate
questions. In fact , the News deliberately
intimates this morning that the cntiro bill
must now be abandoned "till the House of
lyords has been dealt with. " When it is
remembered that Arnold Mor'.ey. the post
master general , Is the chief owner of the
News , the significance of this statement b3-
eomes apparent , as it was doubtless inspired
by Mr. Gladstone and the cabinet.
\Vuriiliic from the Chronicle.
Tne Chronicle , a recognized and nb'.o
organ of the masses , goes further still. It
says :
The attitude ot the Lords Is nn 'Invitation to
n tilul ( if strength which , fur nu lit we know ,
"
may brln ? > ! > n .Mirer revolution than any
pollleal ! question since Ib32. The challenge
will , we hop ? , be taken up Instantly. If , thci ) ,
ni now nppoar * , certain , the jrorerimipiit re-
fusestocomproiiil-e with tho'Lords on thU
amendment , thu bill In its entirely nr.ist fail.
Ittherefoie seems mo-tt probable that the
government will res ird the tinio us propitious
far tin nppenl to the country on the ruction
by the LonUof a tn - asuroV.iIh is uion pop
ular with the mK es of Great Britain , far
more popular lnin ! was Ilia homo rule bill.
In this event Gladstone imy force a disso
lution oeforo January is over , and Great
Britain may then be plunged into a contlict
more momentous than any since that on
March V ) , 10 Ui , when "the commons of Eng
land , assembled iu Parliament , finding by
too long experience that the House of Lords
is useless and dangerous to the people of
England , " did ordain and enict "that from
henceforth the House of Lords in Parlia
ment shall be and is hereby abolished and
taken away , and that the Lords shall not
henceforth meet or sit in said house called
the lords' house , or in any other house or
place as a House of Lords. " The return of
Charles II. brought about a revocation of
tliis act , but it docs not seem impossible
that it may now oe re-enacted after another
.Mo years ,
To Tcfil the l'artle& ' .Strength.
Meanwhile a bye-election this month has
just been made necessary , and by that the
strength of the two parties will be very
clearly indicated. The present member for
Accrinpton in Lancashire was appointed to
judicial ofllco the other day , and therefore
liis seat in Parliament is vacated and ho
must contest it again. This borough has
always been regarded as a thermometer of
public opinion , In the last Parliament it
was represented by a conservative , and in
the Parliament bo fore that by the present
liberal member , Mr. Lcese. He was elected
to the present Parliament by only a
small majority. The conservatives nomi
nated against him Mr. Herman HoJgc ,
who represented the borough in the
Salisbury parliament , and a very rich and
popular landlord. The election probably
ivill bo held about the ' 'Oth , nnd in thn short
Interval every speaker of great promineace
in either party will address the electors.
The result will bo awaited with absorbed
interest by all Great Britain. If the con
servatives win it will bo accepted as proaf
that Mr. Gladstone has lost the favor of tlio
country. If the liberals win , and increase
the last majority , that fact will likewise b3
accepted as most significant of the result of
a general election , nnd will doubtless nild
much to the probability of a speedy dissolu
tion.
( ihiiUtnne Is D.nicrerouhly III ,
With all this there Is a serious note o
alarm In liberal circles today because of Mr
Gladstone's serious illness. In my lettei
printed on the Utitb of Xovoaibsr , I pave
facts showing how really precarious is Mr
Gladstone's condition. All I have saia Is
borne out by today's announcement from the
sick room of the venerable statesman. It Is
announced that the cause of Iho illness Is
entirely duo to his disregard to the strict
regime which ho always followed during-tho
life of Sir Andrew Clarke , nnd from which
ho has departed since that physician's
death.
A peculiarity of Mr. Gladstone's constitu
tion is that Illness nearly always attacks
him in the dioi > tivo organs , the dancer
being that the relayed coadithu supir-
veiling may weaken him to n perilous
point. The present attack came ou with
great violence in the small hours of Friday ,
and his condition was SQ alarming that Mrs.
Gladstone , who Is herself only convalescing
from infliicnza.'had to apply Instant reme
dies while the doctor was being sant for
from Westminster hospital. The pitlcnt is
much better today , but it is expected that ho
will now consent to leave for the Iliviera In
a week or so , as his late physician intended
ho should do.
In Mr. Gladstone's family the opinion pre
vails that the Indigestion was aggravated
by the excitement into which he got on
Thursday night when annoyed oy the ob
structive tactlcj of the "opposition. Ho de
livered a very warm speech in the Houso.
Lately he had been under a pledge to his
physician not to speak after dinner except
with express permission. Ho was atlo to
g\t off to Brighten this afternoon.
No Move Vet Muilc.
Inquiry at the United States embassy de
velops the fact that no steps have yet
been taken to establish definite regulations

rrinudi iilzit : eth' Removal.
The two marrlaggjfriri. German high life
which the world hadalrcadV noted continue
to excite the greatest interest. The true
story of the romance o Princess Elizabeth
of Bavaria adds important facts to the re
port in the regular press dispatches. When
liersister. Princess Augusta , was married
to the Austrian archduke , Josjph Au ustin ,
It was generally commented ou that the
younger daughter of Prince Leonold should
marry before the older. It was reported in
this correspondence at the tiuio that
Princess Elizabeth , had already chosen for
herself : i husband , and that her
choice , although sanctioned by her
mother , was opposed by her father and
her uncle , Prince Luitpold , the regent of
Bavaria. Princess Elizabeth met Lieu
tenant Baron Otto ; von Seefricd-Britten-
heim first at a court hall four years ago. She
bacamcpassionately fond of him and ex
pressed her determination to remain unmar
ried if she was not permitted to become his
wife. He is one'of the handsomest men in
the German army and possesses consiaerablc
intelligence , but the family is very poor.
Sli Would Not Ilu an Kinprcaf.
The princess was notified that she was
destined to an otnnrcis' crown. At that
time the Vienna and Berlin press positively
announced her engagnmcnt to Archduke
Francis Ferdinand , heir presumptive to the
Austrian throne , j Ono day the news came
from Munich , where Seefried was garri
soned , that he hud met with an accident
while shooting , 'then it was rumored he
had attempted suicide when ho learned the
princess was to ba married. Then came ihe
episode of her Iijtorviow with her grand-
fattier , Emperor Francis Joseph , when the
princess ihroirhcrSelf at his foot pleading for
Ills consent and 'interference in her and
Seefried's bshalf , which ho finally gave.

mounted the tribune and said : 'The Cham

Wo will apply them. Tno government will
do its duty. ' The session was closed at

President Dupuy , as ho left thoChambor ,
cried , "Vivo la rcpubliquel" He was
slightly cut in the cheek by the bomb. As
fas as can bo ascertained from the debris ,
the bomb was a sardine box. I' , was loaded
with horseshoe nails and pieces of lead.
Dynamite was probably the explosive. It
fell over the right. Had it not exploded in
the air it would have caused great mortality.

AbbeLinire , the deputy most injured ,
Is a Christian socialist. Ho was taken homo
by Mcr. do Hulst , rector of the Catholic
university of Paris , Catholic ropjbllcan
leader in the Chamber. Thu wounied wera

can wom in who was in the tribune.
Thera are two public galleriesot tribunes ,

They are ssml-circular. The place from
which the bamb was thrown was farthest
removed from the scats reservJj for noivs-
papcrs. Xalls , however , fell freely nmon ;
the journalists and one , Uraitly of d'K-ho do

The royalist replioJ : "Wo don't listen to

Three men were at once nrrosteJ who
were in that part of the tribune from which
the bamb vras supposed to havn been thrown.

Chamber. A man la.vinz his plans carefully
could rely reasonably on escaping.

plodod to.lay in the Chamber of Deputies. It
Is understood that Deputy Le Mlro do VII-
lers an.1 one attendant were killed by the
explosion. A number of others were wounded.
The bomb was thrown at 4 o'cloeic exactly
Its explosion caused the Indies in the gallery
which was well Illled , to fly , shrieking , from
the spot. M. Burton 1'uibin. a newspaper
man , who was on the floor of the Chamber ,
was badly wounded In the forehead.
The Chamber was in session at the time ,
but littio Interest was being taken in the
proceedings. Suddenly from the right sal-
lory , some sort of a bomb was thrown or fell

It was impossible to get exact details of
the explosion , as the i > oliee immediately
closed all the doors 01 the Chamber and re
fused to allow anybody to pass in or out
until the Investigation was concluded.
One report has it that the deputy killed
was not Lo Mire do Villers , but a socialist
ilcnutv of : i similar name.
The explosion and th ? conllieting rcportl
in circulation have caused the greatest ,
excitement through Paris.

cncd people ana it seems impossible to lenru
the extent of the damage done , us the po
lice have dr.uvu a cordon around the spot ,
and until tliey see fit no details of the explo
sion will be allowed to reach the public.
There are people wlio insist that in spita
of the announcement of the police that no-
Ixxly was killed outright , two deputies wcra
killed oa the spot and that many were
wounded. This report , however , is not bo-
licvctl to be correct , though it is believed.
that a uumbcr of deputies were wounded.

.Among tue injured deputies mentioned at \
being seriously wounded is M. Dumas , dep
uty from Aliorc.
It is said that the bomb seemed to bo filled
with shot or slugs and that when it ex
ploded thuse missiles were thrown with tha
greatest force in all directions , reaching'
even as i > Iyh as the galleries.
It is announced that the police have made ;
several arrests from among the people in.
the galleries of tlio Chamber at the time of
the explosion. One of the persons arrested
s said to have been the man who threw tha
bomb.
The president of the Chamber of Deputies ,
M. Dupjy , is reported to have behaved with
the mon admirable coolness and courage ,
nnd is saiu to have done everything possible
to restore order and prevent a spread of the
panic which seized upon everybody present
when the explosion took place.
.Mr. IHipiiy's ( Jooliiesn.
Wnen quiet was somewhat restored. It is
now announcedIt was discovered that nobody
was killed outright , nna M. Dupuy rnne tha
bell of the president of the Chamber , calling
the deputies to resume their se.its. About
one-third of the number of the deputies
present at the time of the explosion obeyed
the summons of thu presidentand when they
wcro seated Mr. Dupuy riroso and said M
calamly ns If nothing had happened , ' -Such
attempts should notdlsjonecrt the Chamber.
I invite you to continue your discussion with
calmness whore the order of the day had
been Hcalt with. The proper officials will
do their duly. " ( Loud and prolonged
cheers. 1
In the midst of indescribable commotion the
discussion was resumed. During tills time Iho
wounded persons had been assisted to the
refreshment rooms , where they were at
tended to by a numbsr of physicians who
were hastily summoned by the police.
After the bomb exploded tno rooms where
the wounded persons wtro treated presented
a sanguinary appearance.
The wound from which Deputy Lo Mlro Is
sufferinir is very dangerous. Ho has a sovcro
wound in the node , but it U oxpsctcd ho will
recover.

At least a score of spectators from tha
tribunes and galleries traversn-l Iho Sallo

Among the persons scon to ba so wounded
were a numbar of women , who \vorp weep

The Sallo de.i Qmtro Coloness , which load !

The deputy seriously wounded is not M.
Lo Mlro do Villcrs , as at flr.n announcedbut
it is the socialist deputy Abba Le Mire , who
is suffering fronui savero wound in the neck ,
caused by ttio explosion of the bomb.
It Is supposed that the miscreant who
caused the explosion escaped during the con
fusion , and it Is also assorted that ho wai
wounded by the explosion , which occurred
when the bomb left his hand , which et-
plains thu number of people wounded in tha
gallery. Had the bomb fallen among tha
deputies of the right , as was probably in
tended , a number of them would have proba
bly bean killed. A number of strangers and
