6 EMPTY THRONE. The Hawaiian Government Overfill In Control. Commission From the New Government Already In This Country. It Will Earnestly Request Annexation to the United States. Wants to Join the Union Either as a Territory Or District.

Uncle Tars Already Tries a Coup. She Will Undoubtedly Apply to Great Britain For Pro tection. Washington, Jan. 28. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian Minister, has received an official dispatch to the effect that the Hawaiian government has been overthrown and that commissioners from the new government are on their way to Washington from San Francisco to ask that Hawaii be annexed to the United States.

Mr. Smith is now at the State Department waiting to advise the Secretary of Slate of the matter. The State and navy departments have been officially informed of the revolution. San Francisco, Jan. 28.

The Hawaiian steamer laudine arrived at this port at 2 this morning with the news of a revolution at Honolulu, The revolutionists have succeeded in overthrowing the Government of Hawaii and the United States troons have been landed. A provisional government has been established, and a commission, headed by Mr. Thurston, came in on the (Jlaudine, en route to Washington with a petition to the American Government to annex the Hawaiian islands to the United States. About 5 p. m.

the United States steamship Boston landed 300 men, fully armed. They marched to the office of the Consul General of the United States. The marines wen? sent to the American legation, while the sailors marched out along Merchant Street with two Gatling guns and camped for a time rn private grounds. They staid there all night. All day on Tuesday, the 18th, the community was in a state of expectancy, looking to the committee of public safety to do something to end the tension.

The committee in the meantime was not idle, being ineesautly occupied completing its organization and making the final arrangements necessary to the proclamation of the provisional government and its protection by an armed force. About 8:30 an attempt was made by three native policemen to arrest the progress of a wagon which was driven up North street by Mr. Brenner and Mr. Good. Those in charge of the wagon resisted the attempt of the officers to arrest its course.

One of the officers mauing a notion to draw a revolver, Mr. Could drew his own and tired, lull did not inflict a dangerous wound. A CoininissiotM'r's Views. San Francisco, Jan. 28.

Cbns. L. Carter, one of the comiuisioners to Washington appointed by the provisional government at Hawaii made the following statement to the associated press: object of our visit to Washington is to have the United State take possession of the Hawaiian Islands. We want to join the union. Not as a state, however, but under a territorial or district form of government.

A government like the District of Columbia with the addition of a governor appointed by the president is preferable for many reasons. There is such a large number of Chinese and other cheap laborers on the island who trusted to vote intelligently; that if universal suffrage Is declared, the whites who represent almost the entire business Interest of the country would be out-voted and powerless. The entire new system of government is mixed up and the only way is to have the United States take charge. It nmst come to 1 this or the whites must leave the islands. Their interests are to great, however, for them to give up without a struggle and revolution was the result.

The new- constitution which was brought out by the queen granted her almost absolute power and a disfranchisement of the white voters. The natives themselves, as a rule, are not in favor of the plans. She is supported by a certain clique of about twenty who are anxious for political power. The queen Is Jealous of the power of the whites and is an ambitious and scheming woman badly advised. Under the old regime she had no cause to complain, but site undertook to mix in politics and got the worst of it Her plan was clever but she lacked the nerve to cany It out, 'The revolution was almost a bloodless one.

Only one man was hurt, a native United States Defense Poor. The Hawaiian revolution finds the United Suites with only one modem man-of-war on the Pacific ocean, the cruiser Boston, now at Honolulu. Admiral Sherrett, comanding the Faille squadron was in San "Francisco with wooden ship and, acting on telegraphic orders from Washington, sailed for Honolulu at 5 this afternoon. The iron ship Hanger has been ordered from Mare Island to San Francisco to await orders. All our modem warships, except the Boston, are on the Atlantic at present on the way to take part in the naval review at New York.

The powerful coast defence ship Monterey is at this isn't and could be sent on short orders but it being of the coast defense type, the ship has a rather limited coal supply to permit it sent to the Sandwich Islands. William C. Wilder, another of the commissioners explained the situation of the affair to an associated press rejxirter. Mr. Wilder is president of the Hawaiian Inter-island Steamship company and has a large interest in I iawaiia property.

He said if the United States wants Hhe Hawaiian she can have them now and on terms more favorable than ever before offered or will ever offered again.

We were glad to have the cruiser Boston stationed at Honolulu harbor. While she did nothing beyond lauding armed sailors and marines who patrolled the streets, yet the moral effect was good aud probably quelled any disposition to lighting on the part of the natives had there been i Sec. Foster Confers ith the Fresideut. 28.

Au interview between Secretaiy of State Foster and Hr. Smith continued for some time. At the close Secretary Foster went over to the white house and had a conference with President Harrison. While, of course, no statement of the policy to be pursued by the United States iu the matter will be made at least until after the axrival of the commissioners from Hawaii, it may be said that the visit of the Hawaiians will hardly be successful, if the purport thereof has been correctly stated. In the house of representatives there was a strong feeling expressed by leading democrats agaiust annexation.

At thi' same time there was an equally unanimous opinion that no other nation should be permitted to step In and control the destinies of the Islands. It was said by several congressmen that the course that Hawaii is adopting in seeking annexation is practically the same as that taken by Texas when it became a part of the United States. Naval officers are enthusiastic over the news from Hawaii. Tliiirtnn Sau Francisco, Jan. A.

Thurston, chairman of the Hawaiian commission, said this evening: are in such a condition now, that no party or class of residents is fully capable of establishing a stable government. They must look outside and naturally come to the United States. The condition of affairs is much more threatening than is indicated by the statements published in the Hawaiian papers. It was the declared intention of the Queen to ultimately expel all foreigners from the Islands. The proposed disfranchising of all except native bora was to be the first step.

old treaty between France and England, made in 1842. recognized the independence of the Islands and bound each nation not to take possession of the Islands. It is clear, in view of these, that England cannot annex nor can France. The United States at the time that this treaty was negotiated, refused to be bound or to join in the treaty. In other words, it refused to pledge itself not to take possession of the Islands but simply recognized the independence of the government.

Commissioner Thurston said he had great hopes that this country would accept the Islands. they do said he, mission is done; tut the people in the event of refusal, will surely turn to England, who will be only too glad to take BRAGG FOR MEXICO He Wants the Mission, and Will, With no Uonbt, (iet it. The very interesting information has been made public that Gen. Edward S. Bragg is a candidate for the Mexican mission.

What adds to the interest of the disclosure is the fact that Gen. Bragg made application for the place several weeks ago. before he came to Madison, indicating that he was never very certain of his election to the senate. The Mexican mission pays a salary of $17,500 a year. The present minister is ex-Congressman Thomas Ryan of Kansas.

Gen. Bragg was appointed minister to Mexico early in 1888 by President Cleveland and held the office until after the inauguration of President Harrison. He found the climate and surroundings to his liking and was charmed i with the position and its environment, though it had none of the bustle and excitement of politics in which he bad as long enjoyed himself.

That frknes was handed over by the Canal Company but he would not say who received it.

M. Delahaye repeated that lie could not sav to whom the francs was given but he could say that sum was given by the Panama Canai Company. A minister who was now dead had received a check for 400,000 francs from the company. A journal not worth 20 francs was bought for 000 francs. On account of the influence attached to it a political personage thought it wise to bribe a great foreign journal with 500.000 francs and the money was paid by the canal company.

It was one of thaj messengers who signed the check but he (M. Delahaye) knew the name both of the journal and its messenger. The Committee of the Chamber charged to report on the bill for the lottery loan was composed of five members in favor of the measure and five against it; the eleventh member had no opinion, hut he went to the Panama Company and offered to vote in favor of the bill for the consideration of 200.000 francs.

The company at first refused, but at the last moment paid the money. After the refusal that he first met with this venal deputy formed a syndicate for a fall in Panama shares because he intended to procure the rejection of the measure, and when he received the money and changed his tactics, by which the bill wss adopted, he forgot to Inform his associate in the syndicate for the fall. That gentleman was completely ruined by the sudden rise which took place in the Panama shares. In spite of repeated demands by the chailer M. Delahaye refused to give names.

He persisted in the same attitude before the commission of inquiry, and it is now proposed to obtain by search of his residence if possible, any list that he may have. Origin of Weeds.

John Lendrum Mitchell, the junior United States senator from Wisconsin for six years from March 4 next, was bom in Milwaukee October 19, 1842. He received an academic education in this country, and then studied in England, Switzerland and Germany, He enlisted in the union array when 1 but nineteen years of age, and was 'afterwards chosen second lieutenant of Company I and first lieutenant of Company 24th Wisconsin volunteer infantry.

Lieut. Mitchell participated in several battles in which his company was engaged, among which were Perry ville and Murfreesboro, and served on the staff of General Bayard and Rousseau and other generals. Col. military record is highly creditable to him, and enlists in his favor the veterans of the state. He is a member of the board of managers of the national home for disabled volunteer soldiers, and has been local manager of the Milwaukee home for the past six years.

By his kindness and care to the veterans residing there, I he has endeared himself to them and their friends. Several Wisconsin men have been appointed to desirable po-1 sit ions the home through his influence, the governor a Wisconsin soldier. He has also effected much in the construction of new buildings and the improvement and repair of those already on the ground, thus providing increased comforts for the old soldiers who make their home there. A monument, which is to be one of the most beautiful and imposing in the country, and in which every old soldier and all citizens of Milwaukee and of Wisconsin at large will take pardonable pride, has been dona toil by Col. Mitchell, and is now in process of construction.

The cost will be about Col. Mitchell takes great pride in his record as a soldier, and he is found in the ranks whenever or wherever the old soldiers are gathered together. John Mitchell is and lias been for many years a practical farmer and stock-raiser. He resides on his fine farm, near Milwaukee, devoting the greater portion of his time to rural pursuits. lie has for many years been in active co-operation with the state agricultural society, and for several years gave his undivided attention to supervising the horse department.

Col. Mitchell has been for many years a member of the executive committee, and was for two years president of the society and is now vice-president. While occupying the office of president he devoted much of his time to the discharge of his duties and took a deep interest in the success of the fair. It is a fact that no man in the state has done as much for the state agricultural society as has John L. Mitchell.

When the buildings blew down a few years ago advanced Hid money to rebuild them, and he has advanced the amount needed whenever the society has been short of money, Col. Mitchell is now, and has been for many years, president of the Wisconsin Trotting Horse association of the Northwestern Trotting Horse Breeders association. In the latter position he has accomplished much towards purifying the business of speeding horses, and a large share of the i credit for the advancement of the horse breeding interest in the west is due to him. But the great interest which Mr. Mitchell fools in the advancement of agriculture in the state is host shown by the forty yearly scholarships in the short agricultural course at the JOHN L.

MITCHELL. state university, which have been instituted by him. Forty young men from the farms of Wisconsin are enabled through his liberality each year to become scientifically acquainted with their business, farming, and also to secure general culture and education. 'These scholarships are in such that Mr. Mitchell, after at first instituting twenty, finally concluded to 'double the number, making forty.

Inestimable benefit results to the fanning interest through the young men given a practical education by means of Col. generosity. Many young men throughout the state have taken advanj tage of these scholarsliips, and are putting into actual use the training there acquired. The public life of Col. Mitchell also possesses many noteworthy features.

He was a member of the state senate Wisconsin in 1872-75 and 1875-70, (was appointed a member of the legislative committee to visit the charitable and penal institutions of the shite by Gov. Washburn in 1872. In 1800 he was elected to a seat in the fifty-second congress, and in that body was placed jon the military' committee and was 'chairman of the sub-committee on homes, military cemetarics and reservations. His services In position were very valuable. During the first Cleveland campaign ho was chairman of the democratic county committee of Milwaukee, was for many a member of the democratic state central committee and now holds the responsible position of chairman of the national democratic congressional committee.

The latter honor has never been conferred on any other man than Mr. Mitchell during his first term In congress. Mr. Mitchell has always been singled out for responsible positions in Ids native city, Milwaukee. He was for several ears a member of the Milwaukee school board and in 1885 its president; and was also a member of the public U- i brary board and its president Col.

He is one of the trustees of the Layton art leiy and president of the Juneau club. Mr. rank in the business world is high. He Is president of the (Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Bank, of the Milwaukee Gas Light company, and is also first vice-president of the Northwfstem National Fire Insurance company.

He is now and has been for some time one of the trustees the NorthWf stem Lire Insurance company. Besides the duties thus devolving upon him, his private interests require gr-at business capacity, i The generosity of CoL Mitchell has not befen confined to the donation of monuments and the establishment of agricultural scholarships, but not long ago he contributed five acres of land valued at $25,000 to the city in order to enlarge of the public parks of Milwaukee. His kindness of heart is shown by the fact that he donates school books to Milwaukee children whose parents are unable to buy them. CoL Mitchell is highly educated and a great student He can read, or convene in German or French, in addition to his vernacular, and has performed some very creditable literary work, and while not aspiring to oratory, is able to express himself on his feet In a direct and concise manner. As an old soldier with a creditable record and interested in old soldiers, as a practical fanner and a tried friend of the farmers and of the farmer boys of the state, as a business man of lage capacity, as a gentleman and a scholar and a men of ripe experience in the affairs of life.
