A spe Greahsm's declaration that this government should recognise the absolute independence of Hawaii, it is believed that when Liliuoka-lani is agaiu placed upon the throne from which, according to the finding of Commissioner Blount, she was displaced by the action of the LniU-d Mates Minister and the I'nitod States naval forces, the ttovernmeui of the United Stales will rf gard its duty as fully accomplished. In other words, the aw (stance of this government will extend to rf partition, but not to maintenance and, oi tee installed, the Queen must defend her throne and government unaided by the United States, HAWAIIANS SURPRISED.

View of tome Prominent Men on the Hawaiian Question. epectal Telegram to Tub Timkh, Washington. November 11. It will be found that a majority of the members of the Senate and House committees on foreign affairs will sustain the administration In the Hawaiian affair. There are reasons for the action of this government which are know as yet only to a few gentlemen outside of Cabinet circles.

The real grounds for the action of the administration are only partially act forth in the letter of Secretary Graham. With sagacious statesmanship President Cleveland looks into the future, fnr as human eye can see, and apprehends diplomatic complications of a nature more serious, nioro far reaching and more important to the general welfare of the country than the annexation or protectorate proposed for Hawaii. This country has had an opportunity to absorb that Pacific group of islands and make of it a formidable naval station and the Gibraltar of the Pacific. But the Government of the United States says that it will not reach out and absorb that country, but will let the Hawaiian kingdom live or die of it own conditions. OPINION IN WASHINGTON.

Now, suppose Great Britain should, as has been 'suggested, undertake to grasp Hawaii, this government would immediately protest and prevent such action. Moreover, suppose that some European nation should undertake to assume a protectorate over, or annex, one of the West Indies. Under the policy outlined by Secretary Gresham this government would protest and prevent such international action.

CALL FOR AN EXTRA SESSION A Cancns Said to Hot Bee Held at Trenton, at nlch it Is Allced tho Governor Decided to Call the Lelslao tnro Together In Order to Onet Senator Hoffman nnd Giro Ills Sent In Riddle, nf Atlantic Connty.

Special Telegram to Ths Time. Atlantic City, November 11. In January, 1603, Hoffman, in the Riddle-Hoffman contested election ense, was seated as Senator from the county of Atlantic by tbe Democratic majority of tho Senate. Mr. Riddle, the Democratic contestant, claims that Hoffman waa seated by a bargain with William J.

Thompson tbat Hoffman would vote for the race-track legislation of 1SU3, and Hoffman "delivered the his being the only Republican vote in the Senate for the Thompson laws. Mr. Kiddle claimed to have bad fifty-six majority for State Senator, but said to-day that he was sacrificed because it was deemed necessary to corral ono or more Republican votes." The old Senate, which goes out when the new Senate comes in. was overwhelming Democratic. The Senate that takes its seat at Trenton next January is Republican by one majority, and stands eleven to ten.

A CAUCUS HELD. It Is snld that on Thursday a cancns of tho friends of the present race-track legislation was held at Trenton. Governor Worts attended and Oarnatt Adrain, the Senator from Middlesex, was the chief spokesman of tho race-track people. Mr. Thompson was represented by counsel.

John James Crandall, a Camden lawyer. The proposition was made by the race-track gamblers to oust Senator Hoffman and to scat William Riddle, of Atlantic City. This would reverse the majority in the newly-elected Senate and make it Democratic by one majority. It is claimed that Governor Werts reluctantly assented to the proposition to call nn extra session of the Legislature the first week in December, provided votes enough wre pledged to seat William Riddle. These votes, eleven in number, were then and there promised.

Tbe condition that confronted the racetrack champions wns the doubt as to William. Kiddle's acceptance of the place refused him by his own party one year ago. He was telegraphed by William J. Thompson's counsel to come to Camden on Saturday. He came.

Ho was interviewed by Mr. Crandall, who represents Thompson. Riddle is a clean man of ability, and deservedly popular in Atlantic county, and for many years has been City Assessor in Atlantic City. KIDDLE TALKS. Mr.

Riddle was loth to make any promises. He said to a Times correspondent to-day: 44 1 regarded the Riddle-Hoffman contest for a seat in the Senate forever ended, and I confess my surprise at this sudden call to reopen an old contest, and I am not prepared to give my answer to-day as to the propriety and necessity for this move. I believe I was honestly elected by fifty-six votes, and I was grievonsly disappointed that the race track men felt called on to sacrifice me for the sake of getting one Repnb- lican vote for their legislative schemes. The trouble with Mr. Thompson seems to be that he is willing to sacrifice his old friends, and that I was sacrificed for the sake of expediency nobody has ever doubted.

I have not made up my mind what I shall do, but I have promised those who have called to Camden to say that they shall have my answer next week." CALL FOR AN EXTBA SESSION. The call for the extra session of the Legislature was drawn to-day, and pressure basal-ready been brought to bear on the Governor to call tbe Senate and House together on tho pretense that speedy remedial legislation is needed by reason of the recent decision of the Supremo Court, that members of the House of Assembly should be selected from the whole county (as is now done in Beaver county, Pennsylvania), instead of from legislative districts. Some of the best lawyers in tho State contend that the newly elected Legislature as to the House of Assembly is nn illegal body, uuder the opinion read by Judge Depue. Tho agitation of this question of a recall of the Legislature of 1S93 has caused a profound sensation in the whole State. It is said that a contest will he made against William J.

OVER $7,000 TAKEN FROM THE SAFE No Attempt Wm Made to Rob the Pas-enter -A Relf-Possessed Engineer. Ho Remembers the Live of the Passenger Are la Ills Care Poseea After the Outlaws.

Babdwkll, November 11. Three closely-masked robbera held np north-bound train No. 8 on the main line of the Illinois Central early this morning at May field Creek trestle, two and one-half miles north of May field Junction. The express car of the American Express Company was robbed of two money packages, one containing (33, addressed to H. Titus, Chicago, and the other a bag of money con taining $7,000 In transfer from New Orleans to Chicago.

The express messenger saved the remainder of the contents of tho safe. About 8 o'clock, while the train was leav ing Hard we 11, three men climbed over the tank, and one of the robbers said to Engineer Clark Pull out as soon as yon can." At tb same time the robber grabbed the left arm of the engineer and one of them put a big Colt's revolver undor his ear, ordering him at the same time to do what they wanted or they wouia Kin nim. At that time the fireman ran away and got on the pilot of the engine, where he re mained in hiding until the robbers had finished their work. While this was going on the passengers in two sleepers and three coaches which made up the train were in ignorance, as all were asloep and no firing was done to awaken them. DID THB FIREMAN'S WORK.

The engineer wanted to get down and put in some coal, but the robbers refused to let him stir from his seat in the cab. One of the robbers did the firing for him from Bardwell to Port Jefferson, and ordered him to stop the train on the Mayfield trestle. The self-possessed engineer insisted that the robbers should let him put the flagman off to protect the rear end of the train aod the lives of the passengers, because they had passed a freight train at Bardwell, which might run into them. This the robbers agreed to, and when the train was stopped by their orders at the trestle, they forced the engineer at the point of their guns to go in front of them to the express car door and open it He shouted to Express Messenger McNeil to open the door and not to shoot, as he was in front of the robbers. One of the robbers went Into the car and came out with several bundles, which he put into a Back.

He told the enginoer to pick up his dynamite on the platform of the car and put it in another sack, which Clark did. In the robbers' company, and with revolvers close to his head, the engineer carried the train to Port Jefferson, where the robbers got behind some piling and shouted to the engineer to Pull out fast, old man." LET. THE PASSENGERS ALONE. In reply to Clark's question the robbers said they were not going to bother the patsetf gers and they kept their promise. All the robbers wore soft hats and masks of black cloth completely covering their heads, with only holes cut in for seeing and breathing.

Two of them were spare-built men and the other heavy and tall, with blue overalls on. One of the spare-built men was well dressed, but the clothes of all were covered with mud. All carried fine double-ban eled shot-guns, with pistol grip, and Colt's revolvers. The Sheriffs of Ballard and Carlisle counties and the Marshal of Fulton, as soon as they were notified of the hold-up, started with a posse in different directions to hunt the robbers with bloodhounds. Detectives from St.

Louis also started for the scene to help follow the trail. Vice President Harrihan, of the Illinois Central, has issued a notice on behalf of his company and the American Express Company offering a reward of $1,500 for the arrest and conviction of the robbers. SHOT AT THE ROBBERS The Conductor and Messenger Made an Unavailing Resistance, Cairo, November 11. The Illinois Central train, which was held np by masked robbers at Mayfield Creek bridge, arrived here at 2.30 this morning, thirty-five minutes late. The story told by the conductor is that five robbers boarded the train when it stopped at Bardwell.

two of them climbing on the engine and three boarding the end of the baggage and express cars. They orderod the train to be stopped at once. Fireman Butler, colored, became frightened, and jumped from the train as it slowed up. One of the robbers fired at Engineer Richard Clarke, but shot Vide of his mark. Conductor Charles Shearin and Express Messenger F.

H. McNeil made a valiant resistance, but thev could accomplish nothing in the face of the loaded guns. Conductor Shearin fired once at the robbers but hit nobody. As soon as the train stopped the robbers entered the express car at the point of their pistols, securing $32 in cash and a sealed package containing $7,000. The passengers were neither molested nor hit, but many were badly GREECE'S NEW CABINET Ministers Selected by Tricoupis Take the Oath of Office.

Pennsylvania Didn't Win, But Qot Some Points. A FIERCE BATTLE ON THE GRIDIRON Captain Mackey's Men Show That They Possess Courage. VAIL CARRIED FROM THE FIELD Tale leores Six Points In the First Half and Right Points In the Second Half Against Touch-Down and Goal for Pennsylvania The First Time the Bine Has Been Scored Against for Three Years Brooke Makes Throe Difficult Tries for Goal From tho Field, fiaeh Time Falling by a Few Feet.

Fifteen Tbonsand Spectators Present, Tho Princeton and Harvard Teams View tbe Struggle epClaJ Telegram to Thr Tims. New York, November 11. What by competent judges was pronounced one of the greatest games of foot-ball ever witnessed took place this afternoon on Manhattan field between the University of Pennsylvania eleven and the picked men of Yale. After two 4o-minute halves the utmost that the much-landed Yale men could do was to score 14 points to Pennsylvania's 6. It is the first time in three years that Yale hat been scored against, and the chagrin she feels at this robs her victory of all its sweetness.

As A matter of fact, although she scored more points than Pennsylvania, the result of the match was really a defeat for her. Pennsylvania undoubtedly outplayed her, owing largely to the system of interference developed by Woodruff, and but for the fact that she early detected the weakness in the Quakers' centre and tackle and took ready advantage thereof she would probably not have scored, Brooke undoubtedly outklcked Butter-worth and Osgood far outshone any halfback who has played in New York this year. Pennsylvania's play was a revelation to Yale an the Gothamites who witnessed it. Although she was defeated there was no diskrace attached to the defeat. She put up onti of the finest games in the history of intercollegiate foot-ball, and one that will be remembered by all who witnessed it Undoubtedly she made mistakes, but never for one moment did her courage fail and she played a most desperate game to the end.

Her aggressiveness was much more marked than in the game against Princeton, but her defense is still somewhat weak. The result of to-day's game, however, undoubtedly places her in the front rank. MANY THOUSANDS LOOK OH. About 15,000 people paid to see the match, but probably 20,000 witnessed it free from "dead-head hill," the viaduct and other points of vantage. Ten years ago it would not have been thought within the bounds of reason to predict any such thing.

Ita mens concourses of spectators have been known to attend rowing races, but these were spread out over miles of distance along the backs, while at a foot-ball match this immense army of people is massed in a comparatively small space, and the size of its proportions is evident in all its immensity. It was a grand and inspiring sight, and viewed from Washington Heights or the viaduct at One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street, was a sight well worth going mites to see. To one not interested in the game it has attractions itself as a spectacle to make one appreciate the deep-seated dovotion Americans have for outdoor sports. Yesterday's game was one to stir the blood in the veins of the most phlegmatic and it was no wonder that, under the spur of the occasion, when Pennsylvania scored her goal, a spectacle was witnessed which should make an impression for a lifetime. Strong men jumped for joy and the staid and dignified waved their hands and shouted like madmen.

The ropes were broken and the crowd poured down from the bleachers into and upon tbe field, all shouting and gesticulating like so many lunatics escaped from Bedlam. MANY NOTABLE SPECTATORS. The handsome young ladies who had decked themselves so prettily with the colors of their favorites were also carried away with the enthusiasm in spite of themselves. It was irresistible, and carried everything before it.

The Pennsylvania players, when seen after tbe game, one and all expressed the opinion that Yale's proverbial luck had played a great part in the final result. Bocky though hardly able to talk from pain, said I guess we gave them all the practice they wanted." Simmons thinks Yale will have to play a stronger game than she did yesterday if she expects to win from Harvard. Captain Mac-key! did not care to talk, but expressed the opinion that two of Yale's touch-downs were largely the result of flukes. The game was called for 2.30 o'clock, but while the Yale team were there on time Pennsylvania was a little late and it was 2.38 o'ebek when the game was started. Both teams were greeted with prolonged cheering and the sentiment of New York seemed to be very strongly for Pennsylvania.

For the first time since 1885 the University of Pennsylvania has scored against Yale on a ftot-hall field, and for the first time in three years tbegiauts from the City of Elms have left the field without donating a goose egg to theiropponents. No game ever approached tbe annual Thanksgiving Day straggle in the interest shown and in the crowds tbat gathered as Aid to-day's. It was, to begin with, an ideal foot-ball day. The sun came out in warmth and splendor. The field was a beautiful stretch of green, whose white-washed lines glistened in the light.

Hawaii, and most certainly we will not permit any European interference with the governments of islands contiguous to our own conn-try. This is an epitome of the underlying policy of the administration. Notwithstanding the clear expressions of Secretary Gresham in stating the case and in summing it up, the preponderance of opinion expressed here to-day seems to be adverse to the action of the administration.

One potent argument against the restoration of the deposed Queen in the fact that the new provisional government has been recognized by the representatives of all other governments. It is questionable whether or not the foreign governments would protest against the restoration of the Queen vi.etarmis. The officers of the navy are unanimous in their expressions of disapproval of the nse of the navy to restore the monarchy. POLITICIANS ASTOUNDED. The politicians are astounded with the news.

No state secret was ever kept better than the official action of the administration on this question. Last evening, two hours after the protracted Cabinet meeting, there were leading men of both political parties who believed that the policy of non-interference would be adopted by this government. And yet, the policy of tho government was decided upon three weeks ago, while the Senate was in the throes of a contest of physical endurance. In consideration of the fact that ill feeling of a personal nature has long existed between Ex-President Harrison and Secretary Gresham, it is believed to have been of questionable propriety for the Secretary of State to have asserted that the change in the Hawaiian government was accomplished "by force and fraud." But the proper understanding of that statement would leave it free from such criticism. The words are applicable to the late United States Minister, RepreatnlatlToe ofthe Provisional Gov eminent Are Astonnded Washington, November 11.

Secretary of Legation Hastings is still the sole representative of the Hawaiian Provisional Government in the city. Minister Thurston la expected to arrive at any moment, but nothing has been heard of him here, though Chicago reports him en route for Washington. Secretary Hastings obtained a copy of Secretary Gresham's statement in the office of the United Press late last nightand promptly mailed it to his government. Mr. Hastings admitted that the news came to him entirely unexpected, so much so that he was dum-founded and scarcely realized what the document meant.

Not hnving received any Intimation officially. Mr. Hastings said ho knew nothing beyond what bad been put before the public, and as to that he could not talk. This morning at 10 o'clock Mr. Hastings called at the residence of Senator Morgan, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, with whom he had a lone: conference.

Professor Alexander, Surveyor General of Hawaii, who is in the city, was also astounded at the news, he, in common with other representatives of that Government, never believing that there was anything in the newspaper reports to the effect that the Queen was to bo restored to the throne. He said this morning that he did not believe Minister Willis' instructions directed him to use the power of the United States troops in re-establishing the monarchy. VIEWS OP PROMINENT MEN. Senator Morgan Does Not Approve) of Cleveland's wallan Pol ley. Washington, November 11.

Expressions of opinion by pobllc men now in Washington upon the letter of Secretary Greshham regarding the Hawaiian affair are varied and numerous. Some emphatically approved the sentiment expressed in tho already famous epistle and others denounce it with great vehemence. Aside from those who have read the views, there are many politicians and public officials who from modesty or courtesy or policy refuse to talk upon the question at all. Senators nnd Representatives of this latter class say that when the matter appears in due form before Congress they will then declare them selves. Whether tho majority of Washington's otnce-fiolders favor the stand taken by bec-retary Gresham or whether they oppose it, everyone of them is discussing the matter.

Every one, in fact, is waiting for further developments. Senator Morgan, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, is not at all well pleased at the turn affairs have taken in the Hawaiian situation. To-day he said that this government could not restore the Queen. Two administrations had recognized the Provisional Government, and accredited its representatives, and it could not restore the former condition. Mr.

Morgan said he had his views on the question, but It was not for a Senator or members, of the committee on foreign relations to say anything about the action the government had taken, or the course it would pursue in the future. Congressman Hitt, of Illinois, who was Assistant Secretary of State in 1881, when Secretary of State Blaine, in a dispatch to United States Minister Comley, defined the policy of this government towards Hawaii, said 1 believe that the policy of interference by ourgovernment in behalf of a monarchy, and a discredited one at that, one that went down in a violent effort of the Queen to overthrow the Hawaiian Constitution, is contrary to every tradition and impulse of the American people. "As to the question of veracity between this administration on one side and Minister Stevens, Captain Wiltse. now dead, and the five Commissioners on the other side, all of whom were eye-witnesses, we ought to have very full testimony before holding them guilty of false statements and a conspiracy to be carried out by force and fraud." Representative Oates said that the question presented in the report of the Secretary of btate on the Hawaiian matter was one of law as well as fact. Certainly this government would not be justifiable in taking any steps toward the restoration of the Queen if we were not directly responsible for her overthrow.

He said that he was opposed to annexation, but that this proposition to restore the Queen presented a different question and he was not prepared to discuss it beyond this point before he had made a thorough study of the question. Judge Turner, of Georgia, who is one of the best lawyers in the House, said to-day that he waB utterly opposed to the annexation of Hawaii and was inclined to agree gener ally with what the Secretary said in connec tion with the Hawaiian affair.

The Philadel phia has 46 officers, 310 men and 40 marines; the Adams. 13 officers. 139 men and 18 mar ines.

Admiral Irwin, is very popular in Honolulu and has great influence there with royalists and foreigners alike. WORRIED TO DEATH Alderman Morris Could Not Bear Charge of Extortion. Canton, November 11.

The President In Complete Accord With the Secretary of State. Washington, November 11. Inquiry at the Department of State warrants the statement that the President has given his ap proval to the Secretary's findings, based as they are upon the searching inquiries conducted by his special commissioner, Mr. Blount, and while it has not been regarded as expedient at this moment to make public the instructions given to Mr. Blount's successor, Mr.

Willis, or the orders issued to Admiral Irwin, who has been this time in assumed command of the United States naval forces at Hawaii, it is intimated that in each case the officers have gone to Hawaii charged to do all that is necessary to restore the statu quo ante bellum. There is still a question as to what may be necessary to secure this result, but it is generally believed that if the representations made by Minister Willis upon the occasion of the presentation of his credentials, to the effect that the President desires that the Queen be re-enthroned, should not be sufficient to induce the Provisional Government to give effect to that desire, then Admiral Irwin will be called upon to exercise his functions, and once more the naval forces now aboard the United States flagship Philadelphia and the Adams will be landed, and will march through the streets of Honolulu, dragging their Gatlings to the Government House. It is felt to be highly improbable, however, that the Provisional Government will, by obstinate resistance to the expressed wish of the United States, necessitate a resort to a military demonstration.
