Treating of the creaent aaneet ef TTii. affairs, he declared that the return of Qusen Lilioukalani to the throne by any outside force or intimU dation br any diplomatio pressure or chicanery will be a publio crime by whomsoever dons. It wonld make ot Hawaii a second Singapore or Hons Kong. It might be all well for a Brit ish colony, but not adapted to American institutions nor intended for an American form of government.

The executive of this great republio has assumed a hostile attitude to the Americas colon in the Hawaiian islands. Why this unfriendly course of action towards peo ple who never did us any harm?

Threat- GLOBE THEATER ON FIRE The House Will Be a Total Loss, and the Fire Will Pr6bably Take In the Whole Block Myriads Sparks Flyings Towards the Dry Goods Center of the City. Globe Theater Bnrnlag. Boston, Jan 1.

The Giobe theater is on fire. Four alarms have been run in At 3 o'clock it was etill raging furi ously and threatens to take in the whole equare bounded by Washington and Essex streets and HaTward place. The inflamable nature of the scenery and property of the Hanlan company is tannine the blaze and little effect is made on it by the water. The theatre will probably be a tota loss. The wind is blowing from the south and myriads of flaming Eparka are being carried towards the great retai dry goods centre.

Later 2:45 a. m. The new year be; can in this eitv with a laree fire, a de structive, and at one time, a very dangerous blaze in the Globe theater, on Washington street, owned by John Stetson and ocoucied by the Hanlon's Superba company, wnich is playing an engagement here. The elegant play houBe is completely gutted and the pro perty of the Hanlon's ruined. Every engine that can possibly be spared is being used to try and protect adjoining property.

At this hour the large six-story building just erected by the Harrard college trustees has caught and every effort is being made to save it. It looks as if the entire block on Harison ave nue and extension would be swallowed up.J Doring the progress of the fire, 'Several severe explosions occurred, which proved to be the powder and cartridges owned by Uie lianlon ermpany. it is stated every particle of the wardrobes of the company is lost. The inmates of the houBe on Essex Btreet and Haward Place are prepared to leave it in case the conflagration spreads. The efforts of the firemen on this street are gigantio and every line of hose that could be obtained is brought into play, with partial success.

On the Essex street side sdjoining the theater are valuable blocks of buildings which re'ocoupied by large business concerns The streets of the city are in darkness and the electric cars have ceased to run, the current being turned off. The heavens are Illuminated with the blaze which can be seen for miles around ffittLf from the fire traveled with the Wind two and three blocks away and a most careful watch is being kept by a cordon of policemen. A number of police have roped off the various avenues end thousands of people are congregating from every section of the city, watching the progress of the fire. The water towers stationed on the Washington street side of the fire are pouring in thousands of alloc of water into the fiery furnace. The first alarm of the fire was given at 1:15 a.

m. and was quickly followed by a second and third alarm. When Chief Webber saw how the fire was gaining he had a fourth alarm turned in. It is thought the fire started the coal room of the theater by someone throwing a lighted cigarette on the floor, and that it smouldered. until it broke out into a blaze.

It is estimated the loss on the theatre will be in the neighborhood of $500,000 and that on the fianlon company will be about $40,000 as they have not beesun ableto save any of the valuable scenery which they carry. It is impossible at the time of going to press to estimate what the loss will amount to as the fire is still raging and there is no telling where it will stop.

News has just been received here of a tragedy at Hadelsvule, fifteen miles from Clarksville on the Louisville Nashville road) one girl becoming the slayer of ber girl friend.

Three young ladies, aged IS or 20, were examining Christmas presents at the residence of J. F. Sheiton, when Miss Shelton nicked no a revolver and aimed it at fcliss Allen, daughter of Esquire Allen, one of her guests, and said: "watch Cut or I will shoot." Instantly a loud report rang cut and Hiss Sheldon beheld her Police Searched for Them Throughout France Yesterday. MANY ARRESTS MADE The Search Ordered by the Minister of the Interior and Was Made Simultaneously in the Different Cities Thirty-Four Arrests in Paris Large Number of Cartridges Found. Cleanlas Them Oat.

Paris, The police raided anarchist quarters in many of the towns in France today, and seized the forms and copy for today's edition of the anarchist joural Pers Peinaxd. In this city they also searched the residence of Elise Reel us, a brother of Paul Rectus, who has been missing since the throwing of the bomb in the chamber of deputies. At Havre, the police searched eleven houses, seized a lot of correspondence and recovered stolen bonds for 1,500 franca For the theft of these -bonds, three anarchists were imprisoned some months ago. Five anarchists were arrested in raids in various, towns of the department of the Seine Inforieure, including the city of Rouen. A piquet of gen darms, with fixed bayonets, surrounded the house of an anarchist lecturer in Rue Vierge, Brest, and arrested a well known anarchist named Muneirand three others together with three women companions.

Muneir had already suffered imprisonment for causing strides. Five anarchists were arrested at Troy and a quantity ot explosives were seized. Five more anarchists were arrested at Monti con. Later particulars about the polioe descent upon the anarchists are to the effect that the minister of the interior ordered the searches for anarchists should be made simultaneously through out France. A charged bomb was discovered at Grenoble and 450 cartridges were found at Alher.

Of these cartridges sixty three were charged with dynamite and 273 with griseatine. The remainder were gunpowder cartridges. Fifteen militant Italian anarchists, all with criminal records, were expelled from Nice. Up to this writing there has been thirty-iour arrests of anarchists in Paris and its suburbs and twenty-four atjUyons. 3LvoNS, Jan.

The police today searched the houses of fifty anarchists and made twenty-four arrests. Muoh incendiary literature was seized. MANCHESTER SHIP CANAJj The Great Undertaking Now Accomplished Fact. an Manchester, Jan. 1.

The great ship canai rxom t-asmam so mancaeater is now an accomplished fact, and the town of Manchester, situated about 40 miles from the seaboard, can be reached by sea from New York in about ten hours after arriving at Liverpool. On December 7, a steamer conveying the directors of the canal, made the entire journey of the canai, but the formal official opening did not take place until today. In order to realize the full significance of this fact and of ail that it implies, we have to consider the sudden creation of a great port in direct communication with all parts of the world, close to and partly within the confines of an immense commercial city and surrounded by an industrial population of 3,250,000. Besides tho actual canal, tho docks are of a most extensive character. The smaller docks and quays, and the upper reaob, will be principally occupied by coasting vessels, while in the larger docks will be moored ships from the United States, Canada, India, etc.

At other docks will be accommodations for cattle, and in fact Manchester has at a stroke become one of the largest and most important ports in the United Kintrdom. The work is the outcome of a series of investigations in parliamentary committees, ia the years 1883, 1834 and 1885. The supporters of the canaL who spent 150,000 in obtaining the act. were tho manufacturers and mercnants or Manchester and its principal opponent was the corporation at Liver pools. With the use ef the electric light steamers will be able to navigate night as well as day and the whole length of the canal will be traversed in about ten hours.

Some notion of the capacity of the canal may be drawn when we compare its depth with the buez and Amsterdam canals. The minimum width of the bottom of Suez is 72 feet aad the Am sterdam 88 feet 7 inches, while that ot the Mancbestar canal is 120 feet. The minimum depth ot the Manchester aad Suez waterways is 2b feet aad that of the Amsterdam canal 2s feet. A statement signed by 1S2 steamship owners, owning more than 1,000 steamers df an aggregate net tonnage of 000.000 tons more than 25 per cent of the entire sieamsnip lines tonage ot tne United Kingdom declares the canal will be navagable without difficulty by merchant steamers of the largest classes: that if the charges on the 6hip canal are not higher than those of the other ports (aed they are actually less) ship owaers will at once make use of the waterway as soon as it is open for traffic and that the additional thirty-five and a half miles to Manchester from the sea will not increase the rate of freight charged to Liverpool by a merchant steamer for a long voy- It is Deuevea wo quauui ti ajroja carried over- the canal will be at least one a elf or that now lasaea at iiverpooi. It ia estimated that at least 105,000 tons per annum of fruit and vegetab es will stance be imported to Manchester by this route.

WELL GROUNDED REPORTS Whhich Say That the President Has Concluded That Hia Appointee for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Cannot Be Confirmed, and He May Substi tute Secretary Olney. Hornblower'a Chaaees. St.

Louis, Ma, Jan. 1. A Republic Washington special says: It is stated in administration circles tonight that the president will withdraw the nomination of Mr. Hornblower of New York -for an associate justiceship of the Supreme court. There are several versions of the story, all insisting that they are accurate.

Tne one told this even-in br n. man hiorh in the counsels of the democratic party end very close to the president, is to this effect: "The President has concluded that Hornblower cannot be confirmed. In consequence, he has decided to withdraw his nomination and substitute Olney, the present attorney general, for the vacant judgeship; put Bissell, the present postmaster general, in Olney's place and put Josiah Quincy, late assistant secretary of state, in Bissell's SHE WANTED POSSESSION, An Unfortunate Woman Arrested at the White House. Washington, D. C.

Jan. 1. A woman of medium height, dressed in dark clothes, whose talk seems to indicate her mind is slightly unbalanced, was arrested at the White house today and confined in the precincl station house. Her appearance at the White house was not a surprise to the officers there, as Captain Dexter on Saturday had received a letter from her announcing she would be on band today to take possession or tne White house. She did not go there, she said, to see the President today, but merely to see one of tne doorkeepers, and they, seeing she was not exactly in her right mind, had her taken away.

Te the station-keeper she gave her hane as Mrs. E. J. Losey, over 40 years of age, and a widow. Her residence is in this city.

From a somewhat rambling story, it appears that Mrs. Losey has been defrauded out of considerable money left to her parents in Europe by some persons who she says-opposed the marriare of her mother. She tried to recover by writing letters but evidently did net get much encouragement sad become impressed with the idea that she. might be able to obtain her fortune through the government, and it was undoubtedly in pur suance of some such idea that Mr. Cleveland ought to settle her claim that she went to the White house today.

She will be detained until her friends are heard from. BEGINS WORK TODAY Committee to Investigate TJ. S. Hawaiian Diplomatic Relations. Washington, D.

CL, Jan 1. The Senate committee which is investigating the alleged irregu laxities ia the diplomatic relations between this country aad Hawaii will have its sitting tomorrow. It is presumed that hereafter, the investigation will proceed regularly. The Bitting will be regulated somewhat by the other official duties of the members of the committee, which, as the Senate will resume its sessions oa Wednesday, may interfere with the work. The meetings will also depend upon the witaessss, and whether those Sweated as such can be obtained.

All who have yet been communicated with upon the subject of attending have signified a willingness to come' to Washington for that purpose without making it necessary to resort to the process of formally serving subpoenas upon them. But-naturally the convenience of the witnesses will have to be consulted. It had been expected Mr. Stevens would appear and give his testimony, but his health is liable to prevent, thus, even with all the members of the committee present, prepared to forward the work, inquiry may be delayed indefinitely. The committee counts upon securing tomorrow the testimony of Prof.

Alexander, who is surveyor general of Hawaii under the provisional government and a native of that country. He is a son of missionary parents and is naturally a strong supporter of the Dole government. FROM THE RAILROADS The Northern Pacific Grievance Committee's Work. St. Pact, Jan.
