H. TRA1SER Manufacturers, 125 Court St, Boston. HENRY CLARK ARRESTED. classes of voters should be called, a carefully revised constitution presented to them, that tneir queen should be Requested to Abdicate, and that the Princess Kaiulani should be proclaimed queen with a council of regency, of which I suggested that Mr. Dole, now head of the provisional government, should be president.

Feb. 14 I received this cablegram from Washington: Islands transferred; princess provided for. Whether this cablegram was to be considered an official communication I do not know, bat it is the only communication that has reached me, and absolutely none has reached the princess. The most striking fact of this cablegram, next to its apparent beartlessness, is that its accnracy is not confirmed by any telegrams that have been published in England. Why it Y7as sent or who sent it I do not know, but as loyal guardians and faithful friends there was only one thing for us to do to stand here beside tbe princess in tbe presence of these representatives of Hawaii who would transfer her birthright, without the civility, the humanity of one wora to her of explanation or even of sympathy.

We come here with no official status, and with no official Information, but with the conviction that the. government and people of tbe United States will not lend their countenance to the disinheritance, for no fault alleged against her or her nation, of a roayal lady who has, with singular grace and courage, endeavored to fit herself for her high station, and has shrunk from neither duty nor sacrifice in the effort. Mr. Davies says that several of the commissioners were concerned in preparing the constitution which they compelled the king to accept and which the nation adopted. Four of tbe commissioners took the oath to support this constitution.

By that constitution the Princess Kainlani Was proclaimed heiress to the throne. The queen appears to have' violated her constitutional' oath and to have laid herself open to deposition, bnt that cannot affect the constitution itself nor the oath which the commissioners took. There is no pretence that the Hawaiian electorate ever knew of tbe revolution at the date of the commissioners' departure on their present mission. In conclusion, Mr. Davies says that he does not believe that any of the commissioners would be gnilty of intentional cruelty or discourtesy to the princess, afid tbe inconceivable treatment which their silence towards her has betrayed them into most arise from the difficulty they find in reconciling their present attitude with the knowledge that their oath to sustain the Hawaiian constitution binds them to the succession of the princess, unless the nation itself releases them from that oath.

Mr. Davies was delighted to learn that the question of annexation of Hawaii had been practically laid over for the oonsider-aeion of the next administration. He said: We will remain in New York until Fri-dav; then we go to Boston, where we will remain until after March from there we proceed to Washington, where we expect to see Mr. Cleveland." holders and their dependents suggest a lot of Millerites on the morning of the last day of tbe world resigned but not gay. The civil service law, however, extorts even from its opponents the acknowledgment that tbe 16,000 department clerks whom it shields escape entirely the fluttering Sensation of the Hour, The political overturn finds them and their families as calm and indifferent as a troop of enlisted soldiers at a frontier barracks.

Ud at the Capitol may be seen another novelty in the situation which is too significant to be ignored. The big-wigs of Congress are apparently disconnected from the preliminaries of the new administration as if Mr. Cleveland' were abont to be inaugurated president of France instead of president of tbe United States. On the fingers of one hand could be counted all the senators and representatives who hare had any part in the formative work which the president-elect has been engaged npon among tbe pines of Lakewood. The members of both Jtouses are Peeking rather than besought for information relative to tbe political history which Mr.

Cleveland is making. Something almost like a stupor has fallen upon the great majority of them, and there is little speculation to be heard in the gossipy cloak rooms of the Capitol. If a body ventures to ask who is likely to be selected for this or that post of importance the whiiom wiseacres rise np and answer as in an operatic chorus; We dont know anything about it Here and there one may see a statesman patting his sore head and vowing he would not have gone into the cabinet anyhow, but that his 'friends feel he was entitled by his position and services to a chance to decline the honor. Still expenence has modified alike the hopes and the disappointments of many of the veterans of the Capitol Hill, and Watch and Wait is the patient maxim of tbe general run of Democrats gathered here. There is nothing like getting used to a thing, and at most the disaffection which Mr.

Cleveland will encounter in the beginning of his second term is personal and individual. Whenever people do not know what else to talk about it is a familiar habit everywhere for them to discuss the weather. Thus tbe weather has become the topic of the day in Washington, and a sensitive rational.st would be shocked to see bow strong 1l mind of every man, woman and rbii-i is the heathenish superstition that V- Cleveland will bring good weather. Tbe i wo extremes of weather here are labelled respectively Cleveland weather and Harrison weather. The President went to Philadelphia yesterday to launch a ship, and thousands of people, when they saw the rain pouring down, instinctively con nected it with the journey of Gen.

Harrisou who, they declare, never fails to hoodoo the weather on every state occasion. Today the weather has veered Cleveland-ward and the city is basking in one of tbe best and balmiest spring days known to Washington. New England visitors should bring on their arms their spring overcoats. President Bamson has cleared out the drawers of the White House, and sits like Patience on a monument awaiting the arrival of the 24th President of the United States. His is a Painful Ordeal and one cannot but wish that the demands of a barbarous and stoical code of conduct did not impose such a useless and ungraceful task upon a defeated President.

It is some relief to have Gen, Harrison announce that be will follow the new departure of Mr. Cleveland four years ago and not be the ghost at the feast he will participate in the offioial ceremonies at the Capitol, bnt will absent himself from all the general festivitieaof the day. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland were criticised for adopting this coarse in 1889, but Mr.

Cleveland said then he remembered that President Arthur was a melancholy and incongruous figure at the review and the ball of 1885, and added nothing to the gayety of the occasion. Every incident of President Harrisons life since election has been necessarily of an unpleasant character. Day by day he has seen the flatterers steal away from him and the throng of suppliant or curious callers dwindle to a few casual stragglers. Little by little all the power of the most powerful political post in the English-speaking world has slipped from his hands until now they are idle and impotent. Even a succession of domestic afflictions, which has softened the hearts of bis partisan opponents, has not penetrated the revengeful bosoms of the group of disgruntled senators, and they have Snickered In the Ante-Booms of the Senate chamber while efforts to go into executive session and confirm some of the closing acts of the administration failed for the want of their votes.

Thus his Sandwich Islands annexation treaty and bis lew final appointments to office were pigeon-holed for a week by Republicans, who would rather see those things left to the will of a Democratic president than to let their own president complete the work of bis regime. His isolation and idleness is much more marked than in the cases of subordinates iu tbe cabinet. They are almo as much sought after-by Republican office-holders and their backers now as they were by the office-seekers four years ago. The favor most desired of them is that they will take timorous men now in conspicuous and lucrative offices in their departments and tuck them away in modest little places. Covered, perhaps, by the civil service law, or so far out of sight that the terrible Democrats may not be able to find them for a year or two, where in the meantime they may have a chance to emulate that offensive Republican partisan whom Frank Hatton tells about.

Fully two years after hia retirement from the head of the Post Office Department and in the middle of Mr. Clevelands administration, Mr. Hatton strolled through the department and was surprised to find at a desk oue of his old subordinates who bad been an uncommonly vigorous Republican worker other days. "What," Mr. Hatton exclaimed, Johnson, you here still? "Yes; still as a mouse, said Mr.

March 1. Chief Justice Alfred P. Robinson died suddenly of heart failure, at bis home in Georgetown county, at 2 oclock this morning. Mr. Robinson was bom in the place in which he died.

Feb. 17. 1842. He was admitted to She bar in 1863, and began practice as hla father's partner. In 1876 be was clerk of the Senate, and in the same year was appointed deputy attorney general.

Upon tbe death of Judge Wootten. in 1887. Robinson was unanimously indorsed by tbe bar of tbe State to be appointed his successor. Gov. Biggs, however, appointed John IL Payntor, who was attorney-general, The latter died two years later, and Robinson was again indorsed.

Tbe governor again disregarded tbe indorsement aqd appointed Judge Cullen to the bench. On account of Cullens enfeebled condition he was voted a pension and retired just prior to the death of Justice Comegy. The bar once more indorsed Robinson, this time-for the chief Justiceship, and he was appointed. BERKSHIRE MILLS BURNT. Firemen Were Powerless to Stop the Raging Flames Fire Supposed to be Incendiary Loss Will Not Exceed $20,000.

Bridgeport. March 2. At 12.10 this morning the Berkshire mills, on North Washington were discovered to be on fire. The flames made great headway and tbe first alarm was followed by three others. The firemen seem to be powerless and the fire is still raging.

It is believed that all the buildings on tbe premises and adjoining the mills wiil be destroyed. Tbe mills are owned by the Win ton estate. Two o'clock The mill has been entirely destroyed. The bridge, at one end of which the mill was located, was saved from destruction with some difficulty. The mill was filled with grain.

It is thought that the fire was of incendiary origin, and it has been determined that it started somewhere in the lower part of the building. The watchman cannot be lound. and may have perished in the fire. The loss on the building will not exceed $20,000. At this hour (2.30) tbe fire is under control.

PLOT TO HUNT CLEMENCEAU. Allegation of Paris Correspondent of the London Times. London, March 2. The Paris correspondent of the Times says: The recurrence of Panama revelations shows a systematic plot to hunt M. Glemenceau out of public life.

It appears now likely to succeed." French detectives have concentrated their efforts in their search of Arton upon the movements of the Viennese music ball singer who was bis supposed mistress. The lady, when interviewed, declared that she had been offered large bribes, bnt would not betray him with whom she had been in constant communication. Arton, she said, did not fear arrest, as he was an expert linguist and actor, was an adept at disguising himself, and had even travelled and talked with the detectives who were searching for him. She expressed surprise at tbe anxiety to arrest him, as be possessed papers which would greatly embarrass the authorities. Still Another Trust.

Do I know Count Arrnand de Ravignonf Well. I should say I did! said a sweet faced blonde sonbrette as she was leaving a Washington st. amusement hall last night. She had just done her turn, in which she displayed a voice of rare quality and the nimbleness of her limbs had won the applause of the audience, just as it had captured the heart of the count when first they met. Ob, he was such a good, clever, princely fellow Do you know him? After being assured that the count was only an acquaintance, she said: "Does he owe you anything? Why, continued the actress, "it wai only this evening that we had The Globe back on the stage, and I was telling the company about my experience with the dear fellow.

"You see I was playing at the Garden in Montreal, and one eveplng, just after I bad finished my turn, I received a scented note asking for an audience. Imagine my surprise on glancing at the superscription to see the name of the count written in a bold, masculine hand. "Why of course I saw tbe nobleman, and he made a profound impression on me, in fact, so much so that I dined with him and heard his story, which was to me like a romance. He was attending the performance with his fiancee, and tbe moment I appeared the rest of the performaoce had no charm for him, so he said. While sipping a glass of sparkling fizz at Innch that eveniug, the count iaid I ara looking for a young English lady, named St.

Martin, and do you know that tbe Homent 1 Saw You on the stage I was almost certain that you were she. He went on to tell me that the English lady stood between him and an immense fortune and he was doing bis utmost to discover her whereabouts. "'You see, he continued, my mother was an English lady of noble birth, and when she died the property was left in such a way that my fa her would have full control of it until be died, and then it would come to me. The rest of his story in reference to his relatives was a corroboration of what was published in 1 he Globe. Did I see him often? Oh, yes, I went sleigh-riding with him several times and i dined with him many times.

Harrison Has His Hat-Box and Grip Packed. Got. Russell Introduced to Many in House anfi Senate. Washington. March 1.

The aspect of this town as viewed today from any place along Pennsylvania av. is as if it had just been built, and the workmen had notf yet torn down the scaffolding. The Capitol, the treasury and many mercantile buildingsare half concealed behind the fresh, unpainted, and, as vet. undraped lumber of great observation stands, while tbe long reviewing stand on the White House grounds, where President Cleveland with his friends will receive the cheering salutations of a triumphant Democracy on Satur day, somehow suggests an election cartoon in which President Harrison is represented in a vain effort to gain on tip-toe a glimpse of tbs outer world from amid the splintered wreck of his partys cause and of his own personal ambition. Every triangular open 6pace between the Capitol and tbe executive mansion is covered with tiers upon tiers of these hard seats, from which today men with voices like hucksters at a circus are hawking tickets at Patti rates.

Countless show-windows are cleared and seats in them are offered at extra prices, because there shelter and seclusion will be complete. One of these windows is waiting for some hospitable millionnaire to pay $300 for it for tbe exclusive enjoyment of his private party. Every little pane of glass in the upper windows of the ramshackiing shops along the line of parade is about as dear as so much crystal. The fact is, that this seemingly amiable and rather thriftless looking town is One Huge Dratplng Paw, and everybody in tbe Federal distnot, the notel, the boarding-house and restanrant-keepers and the office-hunters, who are not unusually numerous and yet not too scarce, is calling the world his oyster and ungird-ling himself for a ravenous gulp. Tbe brass bands and the marching hosts are not yet here, and the crowds the streets and hoteia are still of normal size and appearance.

The return of the exiles of four years ago is tbe most suggestive, if not the most melancholy feature of tbe early arrivals, and against every pillar in the hotel corridors leans some almost forgotten ex. who, wearying of the halfrations of private life, has come back to the scene of his former glory and greatness iD search -of the official head which he lost in the Democratic defeat of 1888. These gentlemen will no doubt inspiA in tlie president-elect many reminiscences of his siege eight years ago, but as he showed them a stubborn reluctance to rejuvenate the survivals of James Buchanans patronage who flocked to Washington in quest of a vindication and a soft snap so now he may manifest again preference for new faces. At least, tne selection of an entirely new cabinet, in which Col. Lamont is tbe only member who saw any kind of service under the first Cleveland administration, may be a straw that foretells the way the refreshing and fragrant zephyr of official favor will blow.

Meanwhile, the hourly-swelling crowd of "ex-es" will venture their travelling and hotel expenses As an Ante In the Dame of officeseeking, and if Mr. Clevelaud should disappoint their hopes the Lord will temper the March winds of this southern clime to the sadder and wiser men whom an ungrateful republic may compel to count the railroad ties ou their homeward journey. Nobody living in a community where the people depend solely upon the merit of their own industry or talents can frame in his mind a picture of Washington in the midst of a change in party control. Everybody here Is an officeholder or the client of an officeholder. When tbe party in power goes out the hotel landlords and the lodging-house keepers lose their star hoarders, while the storekeepers become anxious about their debtors and tbe girls are parted from their beaux.

It is a revolution sucb as no other city in the world ever undergoes. The air is charged with nervous uncertainty. Many are glad. Many are sad. The city is thrilled with a certain giddiness like Paris at the hour of a conn detat.

Those who hope to be more favored under the new order are as expectant as a girl on her bridal eve, while the outgoing office Princess Kaiulani Makes it to America.

Sire That Onr Flai Will Not Cover Dishonor to Hers. New Yore, March 1. Princess Kaiulani. niece of the deposed queen of Hawaii, arrived here today on tbe steamer Teutonic, from Liverpool. Withber were Theophilus Davies and Mrs.

Davies, tbe English guardians of the princess. Miss Davies and Miss Whartof, companion to the princess. E. C. McFarlane.

ex-minister of finance to the dethroned Queen Liluokalani, and Dr. Mott Smith, Hawaiian minister to this country, went down the bay on the revenue cutter Chandler to meet the They boarded the ship immediately after she left the health officer's boarding station. There was qnlte an army of cariosity-seekers on the pier, anxious to get a glimpse of tbe pnnoess. A suite of rooms bad been engaged for the party at the Brevoort House and they, were driven there Immediately after coming off tbe steamshin. The princess is 18 years old.

She is a tall, beautiful young woman, of sweet face and slender figure. She has the soft brown eyes and dark complexion that mark Hawaiian beauty. She bad come to the United States, she said, more for tbe purpose of learning and observing for herself the nature of the people who had been asked to take control of her country than to make lormal petition lor her crown. That," she said, is rightfully mine, and if the Americans are the noble-minded people I have learned to regard them as being, they will not be party to the outrage by which I have lost my birthright." In regard to her views on the various aspects which the Hawaiian government is likely to assume. Princess Kainlani referred to Mr.

Davies, who had prepared a statement both on his own and her behalf. The statement of Princess Kaiulani is as follows: "To the American Peotlk Unbidden I stand upon your shores today, where I thought so soon to receive a royal welcome on my way to mv own kingdom. 1 come unattended, except by the loving hearts that have come with me over the wintrj seas. I hear that commissioners from my land have been for many days asking this great nation to take away my little vineyard. They speak no word to me, and leave me to find out as I can from the rumors in the air that they would leave me without home or a name or a nation.

Seventy years ago Christian America sent over Christian men and women to give religion and civilization to Hawaii. They gave ns the gospel they made us a nation, and we learned to love and trust America. Today three of tbe sons of those are at your capital asking you to undo their fathers work. Who sent them? Who gave them authority to break the constitution which they swore they would uphold? Today a poor, weak girl, with not one of mv people near me and all these Hawaiian statesmen against me, have strength to stand un lor the rights of my people. Even now I can hear their wail in my heart and it gives me strength and courage, and I am strong, strong in the faith of God, strong in the knowledge that I am right, strong in the strength of 70.000.U00 of people who, in this free land, will hear my cry and will refuse to let Their Flag Cover Dishonor to Mine.

Mr. Davies, in his statement, says that after the revolution of 1887 Mr. Thurston came into power. At that time the Princess Kaiulani was IX years of age, and it was felt to be important that she should be sent away from the influences of Hawaiian court life, that she might be trained in the quiet home atmosphere whlcn would enable her more fitly to take up her future position as sovereign. Mr.

Thurston repeatedly urged that the voung princess should be sent to England with this object in view, and in 1889 the plan was carried out. The princess one idea haw been to prepare for the return to her own land during the present year, when she attains her majority. One of the last acts of the Hawaiian Legislature, of which four of the Hawaiian commissioners were members, was to vote $4000 for the expenses of the return tour of the heiress apparent. Arrangements were In progress for her reception by the Queen of England during the coming spring, and then she was to make a prolonged visit to Washington, New York, Chicago, Boston and other American cities, finally reaching Honolulu in October or November for her coming of age. Mr.

Davies then says Wbeu news reached me by cable of the revolution in Hawaii, I wrote to the minister pointing out what appeared to me to be the grave difficulties In the way of tbe carrying out by tbe commissioners of the proposal for annexation. "I stated that in my opinion no amount of reasoning and no amount of bribery would ever gain the pure Hawaiian vote, and that without that vote annexation could be neither completed nor carried out hereafter. "I then urged a convention of all several scalded to death. Boiler in Crowded Mahometan Baths in Baku Explodes. St.

Once Before He Was Up for Similar Offence, But Case Was Settled. A young man who Is well known to the police, and who about 14 months ago was arrested on a warrant charging him with forgery to a large amount, is again under arrest on the same charge.

His name is Henry R. Clark, alias Henry Berry. He is 19 years old, and was arrested in New York city by Inspector McLaughlins men on the strength of a telegram from Chief Inspector Coulter. The telegram announcing his arrest was received at police headquarters last night, and the warrant was at once forwarded. Inspectors and Houghton will go to New York for him with requisition papers as soon as they can be obtained.

Six months ago Clark, on the strength of good recommendations from influential fnends, obtained -a position in the office of Converse, Stanton Cullen at 62 Franklin st. He quickly won the good opinion of his employers and became a much-trusted clerk, being allowed to attend to the banking part of the financial work. On Feb. 27 Clark entered the Revere National Bank and presented a check for $500, which was at once paid. The next day be went into the City National Bank and presented a check for $600, also purporting to come from Converse, Stanton Cullen, and this was also paid.

Two hoars later the bank authorities learned that this check was a forgery, and notified Chief Inspector Coulter, who detailed Inspectors Gerraughty and Houghton on the case. The officers soon learned that Clark bad been leading a very fast life for several months previous at least, and that during the past week he had cccnofed in expensive suite of rooms at Hotel Reynolds under the name of Peavy. In the billiard room, however, Clark was known as Berry. It was learned that he had left the hotel after the $600 check had been Cashed and fled to New York, where he was arrested yesterday. Owing to tbe influence of friends.

Clark has heretofore escaped punishment. In November of 1891 be was arrested by Special Officers Lynch and Shields of division 6 at a South End stable on warrants aggregating three connts each of forgery and nttering. At that time he bougnt a bill of goods from Oliver Briggs and gave him an alleged forged check, and several other checks showed np after his arrest. In the December term of the Superior Court of that year his case was placed on tile, he pleading gnilty, and his relatives making good his indebtedness. It is not known if Clarks crooked work will extend beyond the $1100 already known.

At the time of his arrest in New York he had $300 in bis possession. tit it: WEATHER. Washington, D. March 18 p. m.

Lung Kuro prevents serious lung diseases FOUND ELEVEN SKELETONS. Sensational Reminder of the Days of the Knoblock and Prather Families Feud in Dubois County, Indiana. Indianapolis. March 1. A sensational reminder of the days of the Knob-lock and Prather families of Dubois county was unearthed today by John Flannigan.

the present owner of what still bears the name of Knoblock ranch. There were eight sons in the two families, and years ago they formed a part of a desperate gang of horse thieves and robbers that infested southern Indiana. Knoblock place" was the most pretentions house in tbe connty, being a large, two-story log bouse, which was suffered to fail into decay after the gang was broken up and fled from the State. The massive logs of which it was made rotted partially away, and fell into a huge pile, and have lain tnus for years, a thicket of underbrush growing up around them. Flannigan had a force of men at work today clearing the ground, and when the debris was removed the men began to take out the stone of which the foundation was made.

They soon discovered that a cellar had been made under the floor, and the heavy logs which formed the ceiling were well preserved. These were removed and the cellar was seen to consist of three apartments. In the corner of the first apartment stood a heavy, high, old-fasbioned Haedstead, upon which lay two skeletons, dressed in what appeared to be well preserved clothing. though it fell to dust when touched. The skeletons were those of a man of large size and a woman.

That of tbe man lay upon Its back, with arms by its side, while that of the woman was in a crouching attitude, resting against the head board, with a brass candlestick clasped In its bony fingers. The sight made the workmen shudder and turn away only to be confronted by a sight much more gruesome in the adjoining room. Here the cellar was found scrupulously clean, but for the moss and musty smell. Ranged along the nortn and west sides were two long bunches made of split logs.on which were nine skeletons, some of which had partially fallen to pieces. All of these skeletons were in a crumbling condition, but they held together sufficiently to permit removal to a couple of long coffins, in which they were placed for burial today.
