PF.CIAL Hawaiian oorreepondenct

says: The news tbtt the x

ancient suvaaerv of her race a to

afttr the first shock it was remembered
that hr grandfather wn th first mm

the royal house TU-u, to. it was re c illad

th prince was convalescing after a
looir illuess, 'mi the doctor said he
would get well. I. va thjn that his
sister appeared at t!ie bedside carrying
m bowl of pot, the u;itiv's favorite dish.
By her royal command all the attend
ants of th' prince left tiie sick room
aud th doors were locked,
Some of th poi was eaten, and in
four hours fie heir to Kilakauvs
crown was a putTe i and staring corpse
in whose body some "leperous distil
ment" had wrought the mortal change
They had no corouers in Hawaii then
who could lay hands on the Lord s

ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC INCIDENT.
Onceniore m after years the Polyne
sian blood of tba future patron nf the
axe and block showd itself through
the thin rouge of civilization with
which she ciiose to covr ber real
nature, Liliuokalant was in London
then, a distinguished guest atyiaen
Victoria's jubilee. During tbe
festivities the news of the uprising
here which forced Kalakaua to accept
a liberal constitution wag carried to her.
"Did my brother yieMT'she said,"Ah,if
I bad bn there t tie streets of Hono
lulu would hav run with blool before
I ihonll have let bim give way an
inch." Iu these piras spoke th im
placable savage of the ancient Poly
nesian type, "a chiefess' as the Ha
waiian title goes who oould bare
stood by and seen the neads of white
haired missionaries fail into the basket
with th same leer of barbarous con
tent on her face with which sh
watched live pigs roast on the hot
crust of Ktlanea s crater, when sh
made her pagan sacrifice, not many
years ago, to the fabled gjddess of the
burning lake.
Knowing th "x-queen a they did,
the annexation party was not surprised
at br demand tor blool, but the royal
ists were thrown into a state of politi
cal excitement and despair. They knew
the natnre of tbeir mistress well
enough, but they thought that she
bad th cunning to dissamhle un
til she had been restored to
power. Their intelligence told thrn
that the United States would never
seat her oa the Hawaiian tbron
after snch a display of blo.dthistina
as she had made. On all sides the word
was passed tbat Lillnokolani had
ceased to be a factor in the political
equation. The thought common among
the monarchist leaders was-what next.
Naturally Guardian Davie had a sug
gestion to make. It wis Lainlani. In
a letter to a royalist journal h ex
pressed abhorrence on the conduct of
the ex-qneen, and went so far as tossy
that previous acts of bers, of mnch less
savag purport, had absolved her fol
lowers from the duty of allegiance to
her.
KAIL'LANi's HLHMRTERS' PLOT.
Privately among the royalists he be
gan a Kaiulani propaganda, and, al
though the nam of the princess bas not
hitherto been one to cot.jure with In
tha Hawaiin Islands h has managed to
give ber canse a standing which it bad
never beforo been able to obtain. It
may now he said that Hawaii has a
Kaiulani party, small, but capable of
growing larger. Davies Is a 'man of
wealth and culture, but of ultra-British
monarchist principles. For five years
and he bus had charge of the princess as
her guardian, and hehas moulded her
youthful mind with skillful touch nn
til she is now, in all but blood am)
color, an English gentlewoman. To
put bor on the throne, to m.rry hsr to
his son, to govern her through her
husband and through the Scotchman
(Cleghorn), who calls himself her
father, and to aecure for his further
reward tb post of Hawaiian minister
to the court of St James', are the lond
ambitions for which Davies works
early and late.
Kaiulani will have behind her the
strength and prestige of Davies' in Ali
enee and wealth ; th help of a part of
the younger native element iu the
( Royalist party; the diplomatic cun
ning of British ministef resident, ami
the sympathy of the Koglish-Hawaii -ans
generally. Still, this will avail
her nothing, unless the Royal
ists revolt and succeed in an
effort to overthrow tbe existing
government. I donbt if their most
sanguine supporters think this ran be
done in th ordinary course of events.
Their hope undoubtedly is that the an
nexation party will break up into con
tending factions, and that, taking ad
vantage of the confusion which may
follow, the Monarchists will gain their
end.
It is proper to say that many of the
published stories about the meutal ill
health of President Dole nre the result
either of misinformation or malic. By
overwork and two itiss of a groat strai n
of anxiety the president began to fl
a species of brain fag. which, while
it did not dim his intellectual
processes, made it advisable that
he should unburden hitusdf of much

The Princess hurriedly lft Franc

To avoid surrendering the children,

HAiiTKnitu, Conn., Feb. 11. Colt's
Patent Fire Arms manufactory Was
destroyed by lire this afternoon, in
volving a loss oi nearly $350,000 Th
fire started near tbe boiler house, and
when discovered had communicated
with au elevator and a tier or closets
running up three stories near th main
wall of the east armory lue build
ings where the tire originated were of
stone anil brick, three stories and near
ly 400 feet long, connecting tb east
and west armories.
Hy tbe time the department got fairly
to work onhalf the long building
connecting tb two armories was ablaze
from base to attic, and tne efforts of
the firemen were then directed to sav
iug tbe east armory. Lines of hose
were soon ruu up into the third and
fourth floors of the east armory, and
the progress of the flames was headed
off in that directiou.
The fir, In the meantime, was slow
ly working its way toward the West
armory, a building 500 feet long and
three stories high. It hud already eaten
through a brick tire wall a foot thick
and was working its way through the
attic over the heads of the firemen,
who wero bravely trying to stop its
progress on the fljor below. For some
reason tli stairs leading to the attic
could not be found an 1 the flames
made rapid progress nuiotig tbe season
ed gun stocks aud other comnustible
material stored there. Finally a line
of hose was run up Into the attic of the
west armory aud in through an iron
door the tiremu faced the smoke aud
fire for nearly bnlt an hour, It was
their last stand and it was wnat saved
the west armory.
As soon as the fire burned through
th roof the smoke was drawn awav
from them and the tin-men then fol
lowed up their advantage and quickly
brought the fire under control. In two
hours from that time it was practically
out. Tb three story buil ling contair
ing the tw armories is partially ds
stroyed, Etatof the dividing brick
walls it is all g n and west of it the
roof and the top story is burnt off.
The loss ou the buildings is estimated
at 178,000, There wr ssventy-ftve
Universal presses ready for shipment
which were totally destroyed III th at
tic were 5,000 black walnut gun stock
seasoning. These were a total loss
Then 1 Pierce, nickel plater, on th
third floor, lost most of hli machinery
All the other flairs were occupied by
the Colt company for storing and pack
ing purpose. The concerns in the
west armory lose little and that by
water. The total loss will reach $250,
000, covered by insurance to the
amount Of $800,000 The seventy five
presses, valued at $80,000, were not in
sured.
Thirty years ago this month, on Feb.
5, Colt's factory was destroyed by lire.
At that time the east armory was to
tally destroyed. Th cause of th fire
then was thought to be of rebel origin.
PlVS hundred hands are thrown out of
work, but if the boilers are intact, as
it is believed they are, the shops will
be running iu a week.
The Colt works are about a mile and
a half south of the city on the river
front They occupy a large tract of
land and are a notable feature in the
landscape, The fire mads a brilliant
spectacle, which attraotsd n throng of
people to the scene,
