Arrooxa, Pa.—The city was stormbound Sunday night, the streets deserted and re- ports from mountain towns tell of a terrible storm of the afternoon and evening. There is more snow in the Alleghanies than for many years past. Many accidents are reported from along the railroad. Morgaxtowy, W. Va.—The storm here assumed a frightful character and caused the greatest obstructions to travel of any kind that have developed this winter. The snowfall has been very heavy, there being 20 inches of it reported from many sections hereabout, and the smaller mountain towns are fuirly shut in by it. There are many roads that accommodate considerable travel ordinarily that will be impassable for at least a week to come. With the enormous snowfall about the headquarters of the Mo- nongalhela and its watersheds towards the hio a thaw will inevitably bring the big- gest river of the winter. MET DEATH IN A BLIZZARD.

HOKE SMITH, of Georgia, Secretary of the Interior. On making theannouncements, Mr. Cleve- land said: : “There is no need of any mystery in re- gard to the Cabinet, and it is useless to speculate and indulge in guess work. Ishall make no secret of the matter, brt shall an- nounce the names of gentlemen selected to fill the positions as fast as I receive their acceptance and permission to make the matter public.” ; - Mr. Cleveland would say nothing in re- gard to the other posjtions, or the men who have been mentioned in ‘connection with them.

Mr. Morton is one of the most prominent Democrats in the State of Ne- pbraska. He has been in the Legislature and was talked of as a candidate for Governor last fall. He owned a proprietory interest in an Omaha newspaper at one time, and is 8 representative free trader, THE HAWAIIAN REVOLUTION ms ANNEXATION TREATY. ——peen Terms Under Which the Hawaiian Is- lands Are to Come Into the Union. The President's Recommendations. fait re The treaty of annexation concluded be- tween Secretary of State Foster and the Commissioners of the Provisional Govern- ment of Hawaii was transmitted to the Senate at Washington. The message of the President states that it was deemed more desirable to fully an- nex the islands than to establish a protecto- rate. The President says the overthrow of the monarchy was notin any way prompt- ed by this Government; that the restoration of Queen Liliuokalani is undesirable, if not impossible; and that, unless actively sup- ported by the United States, would be ac- companied by serious disaster and the dis- organization of all business interests. Con- tinuing, the President says It is essential that none of the other great powers shall secure these islands. Such a possession woud not be consistent with sur safety and with the peace of the world. If this treaty meets the approval of the Senate, peace and good order will be secured to the islands under existing laws until such time as Congress can provide by legislation a rmanent form of government. This leg- islation should be, and I do not doubt, will be not only just to the natives and all other residents of the island, but should be char- acterized by great liberality and a high re- gard to the rights of all the people and of all the foreigners domiciled there. An instruction has been sent to Minister Btevens commending his action, in so far as it lay within the purview of standing in- structions and tended to co-operaie with the administration of affairs by the provisional Government, but disavowing any steps in excess of such instructions whereby the au- thority of the United States might appear to have been asserted to the impairment of the independent sovereignty of the Ha- waiian Government by the assumption of a formal protectorate. Secretary Foster says that the provisions of the treaty reserve to Congress the deter- mination of ail questions affecting the form of government of the annexed territory, the citizenship and elective iranchise of the in- habitants, and all questions relating to the economical and pohtical status of the islands. He says that, pending the negotiations, he received assurances from representatives of the leading powers of the world, and from her own Ministers abroad, convincing him that the incorporation of the Hawaiian Islands into the Union will be regarded by the powers with ratisfac ion. PROVISIONS OF THE TREATY. The treaty itself provides for the cession of all rights of sovereignty over the islands and all public property to the United States. Revenue from public lands, except “such as are reserved for Government purposes, are to be used rolely for the benefit of the peo- ple of the islands. A resident commissicn- er is to be appointed, who shall have power to veto any act of the existing Goverment. Until Congress enacts the neccessary legis- lation existing commercial relations of the Hawaiian islands, both with the United States and foreign governments, shall con- tinue. Further im: ration of Chinese in- to the islands is proh.v.ted, and the Chinese now in the islands shall not be permitted to come into the present territory of the United States. The public debt of the islands is as- sumed by the United States, to the extent of §3,250,000. The United States agrees to yay Queen Liliuokalani $20,000 a year dur- ing life, and to Princess Kaloulani $150,000. Under the provisions of the treaty the sugar producers of Hawaii will not partici- pate in the bounty provided by the McKin- ley law unless Congress extenas it to the is- lands. Ee in PEACE REIGNS AT HAWAII THE STEAMSHIP BELGIC BRINGS THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE ISLANDS. The steamship Belgic arrived at San Fran- cisco irom Honolulu on Saturday and re- ported that the American flag was still floating over the Hawaiian Government buildings February 10, and that there had been no disturbances, Martial law was de- clared off by the Hawaiian Provisional Government on Febuary 5. A detachment of sailors and marines from the United States warship Boston were still quartered on shore and the United States warship Mgbican steamed into the harbor as tte Belgic sailed out. Ex-Queen Lilioukalani is still in retire- ment in her private residence. L. M. Damon, Minister ot Finance in the Thurston Cabi- net, has been appointed Vice President of the Provisional Government by the Exec 1- tive and Advisory Councils. He isone of the Commissioners now in Washington. —_——— LILIUOEALANI'S LETTER. She Wrote Her“ Great and Good Friend” That Nothing Be Done Until 8he is Heard. The documents laid before the senate at Washington on Hawaiian matters contain. ed the hitherto unpublished protest address- ed by the ex-queen to the president, which reads as follows: His Excellency Beniamin Harrison, Presi. dent of the United States. M1 GREAT AND Goop Friexp—It is with deep regret that I address you on this occa- sion. Some of my subjects. aided by aliens, have renounced their lovality and revolted against the constitutional government of my kingdom. They have attempted to de- pose me and to establish a provisional goy- ernment, in direct conflict with the organic law of this kingdom. Upon receiving in- contestable proof that his excellency, the minister plenipotentiary of the United States, aided and abetted their unlawfml movements and caused United States troops to be landed for that purpose, I submitted to force, believing that he would not have acted in that manner unless by the author- ity of the government which he represents. This action on mv part was prompted by three reasons: The futility of a conflict with the United States; the desire to avoid violence, bloodshed and the destruction of life and property, and the certainty which I feel that yon and your government will right whatever wrongs may have been in- flicted upon us ia the premises. ‘I'his appeal is not made for myself per- sonally, but for my people, who have hither always enjoyed the friendship and protection of the United States. My opponents have taken the only vessel which could be obtained here. and, hearing of their intention of sending a delegation of their number to present their side of this conflict before you, I requested the favor of sending by the same vessel an envoy to you, to lay before yon my statement, as the facts appear to myself and my loyal subjects. This request has been refused, and I now ask that, in justice to myself and to my people, no steps be taken by the government of the United States until’ my cause can be heard bv you. I'shall be able to dispatch an envoy about the second day of February, as that will be the first available opportunity hence, and he will reach you with every possible haste, in order that there may be no delay in the set- tlement of this matter. . I pray you, therefore. my good friend, that you will not allow any conclusions to be reached by you until my envoy arrives. I beg to assure you of the continuance of wy highest consideration.

Dun & Co's Weekly Revizw of Trade Bays: Anxious efforts by the bauks for an issue of bonds by the Treasury, and the refusal of the President to authorize it, caused apprehension and depression during most of the week. Exports of gold to-day will probably be no more than $2,000,000. More- over, quite large purchases of securities on foreign account sre reported, which would cancel heavy adverse merchandise balances and to that extent prevent gold shipments. Outside financial influences, the course of business is undisturbed; its volume is still large, though somewhat affected by recent storms, aud there are fewer signs than usual of unsound or unhealthy conditions, . though at many points collections are some- what slow. Wheat is half a cent lower, with receipts of 1,6 0,000 bushels at the Westin four days. Corn is 13 cents lower, and cotton an eighth lower, though the receipts continue small. Oats and coffee are each a quarter lower. The woolen works are as busy as ever. and sales of wool at three chief markets this year have been 43,000,000 pounds against 35;000,000 last year. a gain of 24 per cent. The coal market is called as sloppy. In the iron trade no distinct improvement is seen, for while business is large, prices are entirely demoralized by intense compe- tition. Railsare an exception, for 75,000 tons have been sold without reported change in prices, and structural works are well em- ployed, though at low prices, but the de- mand for plates 13s now up to the capacity of the works, and bar iron is quite weak. The financial outlook depends largely upon the fact that exports of the principal pro- ducts in January were $23,000,000 smaller than last year, while imports at New York alone were $17,000,000 larger than last year, which indicates a considerable excess of imports for the month and explains the heavy ou go of gold. : The business failures throughout the country fon the last seven days number for the United States 197, and for Canada 36, or a total of 233, as compared with totals of 266 last week and 301 the week previous to the last.

The House and Senate at Frankfort, Ky., after balloting for two hours for a United States Senator, elected Judge William Lind- say, of Frankfort, to succeed Mr. Carlisle. Judze Lindsay bad received the Democratic caucus nomination, "and A. E. Wilson, of Louisville, had been nominated by the Re- publican caucus. Both names were present- ed. In the Senate Judge Lindsay received WILLIAM LINDSAY, sixteen votes and Mr. Wilson six. In the House the former had thirty-two and the latter thirteen votes. Next day in joint ses- sion Judge Lindsay was declared Senator. Judge William Lindsay was born in Rock- bridge county, Virginia, September 4, 1825, of Scotch parentage. He moved to Hick- man county, Kentucky, in 1854, qualified for and practiced law at Clinton in 1858 and volunteered and served in the Confederate Army as Captain and staff officer. When the war ended, he returned to Clinton and resumed the practice of the law. He was elected to the Legislaturesin 1867, and in 1870 was chosen Judge of the Appellate Bench of Kentucky. He was the Chief Justice. When his term expired he was elected to the Senate of Kentucky. President Harri- son tendered him the office of Inter-State Cominerce Commissioner, which he declin- ed. He was a World’s Fair Commissioner, and as such went to Europe last year. He is of commanding presence, pleasant ad- dress and humor, and is best known in Xen- tucky as “‘Bill Lindsay.’ HUGH ODONNELL ACQUITTED. With Critchlow and Clifford Is to Be Let Out on Bail. Hugh C. O'Donnell was acquitted at Pitts- burg on Saturday of the charge of murder made against him in connection with ihe battle at Homestead on July 6. The verdict was expected. It was the third murder triai resulting from that memorable strike, and ended like its predecessors. The defendant was standing in the dock facing the jurors and with awe he watched the movements of the foreman's lips, when he arose to read the decision of the 12 men. When the words *‘not guilty” rang through the room there was a moment's uproar. O'Donnell never wavered even for a mo- ment. His proud face turned calmly about in the direction of his wife, who instantly arose and rushed to her husband's arms. The scene was but of momentary duration. He kissed ber a dozen times in 20 seconds as the great tear drops rolled down her marble cheeks, His sunken eyes were moistened for a minute as he relaxed the tender em- brace with which he met his wife. On Monday O'Donnell, Critchlow and Clifford were released on bail on the other charges pending against them, and it is not thought that their trials will occur until the June term of court. LATER NEWS WAIFS, CRIMES AND PENALTIES. Hal Shaw and John Duboise, two horse thieves, resisted arrest in Allen county, near Montmorenci, Georgia, but were both captured. Duboise was probably fatally injured. Both men were white. Lynebing was narrowly averted. The Kid's’ bandon the Rio Grande border were routed by troops. The *'Kid"” himself was the only one who escaped death or capture. The Arizona Legislature bas placed a price of $5,000 on the head of ‘The Kid.” Michael Foerstel, the defaulting city treasurer of St. Louis, has been indicied for embezzlement on six counts. The total amount of his shortage is $64,000. Samuel Derrett and John Williams, both colored, quarreled over a game of cards in a saloon at Chicago.

The lower house of the Washington leg: isiature has passed an anti cigarette bill. An anti-crinoline bill has been introduced in the Indiana Senate, with good prospects for passage. There was an immense crowd at the ses- sion of the Wyoming Legislature on Satur- day. Before a ballot was taken Snyder, Populists, moved that the joint session ad- journ sine die. The Populists and some of New's supporters voted for the motion and the Senate closed without electing a Sena- tor. Immediately after the joint session ad- journed the House adjourned sine die. The Senatorial position will be filled by appoint- ment. It is expected that Governor Osborne will appoint A. L. New, Democrat. The Alabama Senate has passed the Say- er election bill, and it will become a law. 1t provides for the Australian ballot, and its effect will be to disfranchise illiterate negro voters to the number of about 40,000 or more. The Kolb third party in both houses was against the bill all the way through. . .—- WASHINGTON. Judge Howell E. Jackson was confirmed ed by the Senate as associate justice of the Supreme Court. The legislative bill as reported to the sen- ate -has these items of increase: Mint at Carson, Nev., $25,000; registration of Utah commission, $14,000. The provision of the house bill for a joint commission to inquire whether a: reduction in the force of the different bureaus can be made was stricken out. Section 6, providing that no part of the public funds shall be used in defraying the funeral expenses of any officer of the government, was also expunged, as was section 7, with requires the heads of bureaus to require eight hours labor a day from all employes. es FOREIGN. in the House of Commons at London the Home Rule bill was read a first time and its second reading set for March 13. Mr, Chamberlain spoke at length on the meas- ure, claiming that the bill sowed seeds of discontent. The striking cotton spinners in Lanca shire, England have agreed to accept a 2% per cent, reduction in wages. They struck against a proposition to reducs wages 5 per cent.

So Far it is Bloodless, but the Republi= cans are the Victors. The Popu- lists Have Practically Aban- doned the Field. A dispatch from Topeka, Kan., says: The Populis s have practically abandoned the field. A crisis raised by Sheriff Wilkerson’s calling out a poste of 1000 men to defend the Republican position was so critical and so filled with embarrassing difficulties, that they decided not to meet it. At noon Gov- nor Lewelling held a conference with the Populist Hou-e members and various lead- ers of the party. The Governor said that the militia could not be dejended upon to carry out his orders; that the resistance of 125 men, composing the force of deputy sergeants, and 100 troops. all that could be depended upon to stand by, would be use- less before the sheriff's posse of ,1000 men. THE GOVERXOR'S PROPOSITION, Thursday afternoon the Governor sent the tollowing proposition to the Republican House: : . “The Governor offers in the interest of the State n:ilitia and not allow the Repub- lican House riots employes to he interfered with by the Populists, provided that all fur- ther proceedings that have been commenced by the Repubncans, arising from the arrest of Benjamin C. Rich. be dropped and that the Populist membe s and emp oyes be not disturbed by the arrest of office s or other- wise and the sheriff of Shawnee county dis- charge bis deputies and dues” not “interfere, nor try to interfe:e, with the' acts of the Populists and State officers, including militia, and this agreement to continue in force until the close of the present sess on of the Legislature.” The Republican house was at first not dis- posed to do more than reject the proposition of the Governor. but after a thoughtful debate it was voted to appoint a committee of five to prepare a counter proposition to the Governor, which was as follows: “The chief clerks of the rival Houses to be arrested for contempt'and their cases submitted by habeas corpus proceedings to the Supreme Court jor immediate decision The agreement to be ratified by the signa- tures of Douglass, Dunsmore and Lewell- ing. Nothing startling happened Thursday night. When tke Governor received the propositon of the Republican House he sent back word that he would have to submit 0 his advisers. The Republicans agreed to al- low him until morning to answer it. The Populists met but did nothing of any conse- quence except to wrangle bitterly among themselves over the situation. They are handicapped by the fact that 20 of their members are very weakkneed and areready to join the Republican House at the first opportunity. Should the Supreme Court decide in favor of the Republican House these 20 members will undoubtedly break away irom the Populist House. Thursday morning the mail carriers took food to the legislators, the military forces fearing to stop thera or to deny tliem the right of admission. The United States Mar- shal was ready with a force of deputies to arrest all of the militiamen and the Govern- ment’s officers in case the mail carriers were interfered with. He was given no occasion to call on his deputies. A wagon load of provisions, enough to keep the occupants of the House supplied for 21 hours, drove up to the west entrance of the State House about noon. The cap- tain in command of the company on guard there relieved his men from duty as the wagon arrived, and everything it ccntuined was carried into the hall with- out hindrance.

The decision of the conrts is awaited with great anxiety. The Populists are discouraged. are abus- ing the Governor and say that they will not obey the Supreme Court if it decides agaiust them. The troops have been sent home. Origin of the Trouble, The Democrats and the Populists fused on the electoral ticket at the Presidential elec- tion, and when the vote was canvassed it stood as follows: Harrison, Republican, 156,~ 134; Weaver, Populist, 163,111, and Bidwell, Prohibitionist, 4553. The canvass of the State ticket was not quitaso simple. The State Board of Canvass- ers gave certificates to sixty-three Republi- cans for the House of Representatives, fifty - six Populists, five Democrats and one Inde- dent. On January 10 an attempt was made by the Populists to organize the House. The Independent member voted with them, but the Democrats abstained from voting. In order that an or- ganization might be effectad, how- ever, the Populists swore in three men who had been defeated, and, it is alleged, admitted seven others who had no claims to seats, and undertook to conduct legisla tion. The effect of this was that there were two contending legislative bodies, two Speakers and two sets of officers. An all night. session was held on the first night of “the organization, members of both bouies camping in the legislative halls. There were no sleeping accommodations and the me 3 slept on the floor, the tworival speakers sharing one blanket, both being on the watch for developments. The Senate, which has a Populist ma- jority, recognizad the House organiz:d by the Populists, but the Rapublican House re- fused to recogniz> the notification of this fact sent them by the Senate. The Gov- ernor, who is a Fopulist, gave an official recognition to the Populist organization. Both Houses came to a temporary agrae- ment and adjourned. Committees of Con- Terence were appointed with view to a set- tlement. In the meantime the Populists elected a State Treasurer, who undertook to take possession of his office without filing a legal bond. © This was defeated by the law- ful incumbent. The Republicans who had received certificates of election were made to obtain possession, the incumbents refus- ing to surrender their offizes to men about whose election there was any dispute. Judg: Jobn Martin, the leader of the fu- sion Democracy ot ansas, was elected to the United States S:nate by a combination of Populists and Democrats on January 25, He obtained the solid vote of the tweuty-five Populists and Democrats in the Senate, and in the Popuiist House he received sixty-two vais.
