Queen Llliuokalana has voluntarily abdicated the throne ot Hawaii in favor of a republican form of govern-tnentand has publicly declared that the government of the republic is the only lawlul form of government in the Hawaiian islands. She has also taken the oath of allegiance.

The step is taken hy the ex-Queen in the hope that it will save the lives of those who rebelled against the republic in an effort to restore her to power. This, it is predicted, will forever end the opposition of the Royalists to the Republic and will firmly establish the Republic in the Hawaiian islands. The deed of abdication was drawn by A. s. Hartwell at the Queen's request and was presented to President Bole on January 20.

The Queen says that alter consulting with personal friends and legal ad visors, both belore and after her arrest, ot her own free volition and understanding of her duty to the people ol Hawaii and their best interests, and lor the sake of the misguided tlawaiiaus who recently rebelled against the republic to restore her to the throne, and without the claim that by reason of her action she would become entitled to any different treatment or consideration at the hands of the government than she would otherw ise legally receive, she desired to make public to all the people of the Hawaiian islands and all foreign diplomatic representatives the following declaration: "1 do hereby fully and unequivocally admitand ana declare the government of the republic of Hawaii the only lawful government in Hawaii, and that the late Hawaiian monarchy has forever ended and is no longer of any legal or actual validity, force or effec hatsoever; and I do hereby forever absolve all persona whomsoever, whether in the Hawaiian islands or elsewhere, from all and every manner of allegiance or official obligation or duty to me and my heirs and successors forever, and I herebv declare to ail such persons in the Hawaiian islands that I consider them bound in duty and honor henceforth to support and sustain the government of Hawaii." for freight between all points in tht states ami terminal stations in adjoin' inn states, and makes such schedules the maximum rates lor such com pen sat ion.

A bill authorizing any county in this state to build ami maintain a workhouse to which tramps and other prisoners can be consigned has been introduced in the Assembly by Henry Ilage-meister, who represents tireen Bay in that body. "It is my opinion that the law is something that is needed," said Mr. Hagemeister. "It gives the county the authority to appropriate money for such an institution and provides that men convicted of vagrancy, drunkenness and petty larceny may be sent to it and put to work. With such a law in force half of the fellows ho are loafing in jail at the expense of the people would have found money enough to pay their fine or else would be wording.

1 find that a good many members of the Legislature agree with me in this matter and the prospect is very favorable for the bill becoming a law. Several other measures of the same import have been introduced but they are only designed to fit certain counties while mine is a general bill. "Would a workhouse be a good thing to have in Brown county was asked. "Yes; I believe we would save the cost of a suitable building the very first year.

The letter then recites the circumstances leading up to the Queen's deposition at that time. Continuing the letter says: "So far as your communication may be taken as notice to the disaffected citiseustlial it is your desire that the republic he recognised by them as the sole lawful government of the country, it is fully appreciated. In this connection your unselfish appeal for clemency for those who took part in the late insurrection will receive full consideration." it is learned that United states Minister Willis has made a ritten objection to the powers of the military court on the ground that the offenses were committed previous to the proclamation of martial law and the Offenders should be tried by the civil courts.

The objection has caused the government much uneasiness.

HELPS GREEN DAY FISHERMEN. hi Weather in the Causes a Ann Arbor line will undoubtedly fall into the bands of the backers of the Lackawanna line. In conjunction with the car ferry route the Ann Arbor road forms a strong competitor of the Lackawanna water route from Buffalo to the west via Green Bay.

This being the case the Lackawanna people have wisely concluded to own both lines, and have planned accordingly, But they may not have things their own way. Once before in the history of the Ann Arbor Hue an attempt was made to freeze out the Ashleys. who originated the car ferry scheme.

The efforts made bvthecar ferry steamers to run to Menominee after the freezing up of Green bay was in the opini ii of local railroad men only an attempt to prove to the Son people that the line could be kept in operation to Menominee through the winter. Could this have been done the Ann Arbor line might have been a valuable tributary to the Soo road, whose financiers might have been induced to bid in the Ann Arbor property.

Hut when the Menominee route was abandoned as impracticable the Soo road ceased to be a factor in the deal, and tiie contest for the possession ot the famous car ferry route will evidently bo between the Ashleys and the Lackawanna line.
