Full Story of tlic- Orsrnnf'.ntlon and Itt, IVrsonnel — Its Coin- Kiandi-ri, (Copyright, IS9C. by American Press Associa- tion. Book rights reserved.) "Xo more gallant deed !s recorded in • y." was Gen. Hancock's tribute to the First Minnesota for its forlorn Charge at Gettysburg July 2, 1863. Un- many a brilliant feat of arms, the dash of the First Minnesota that day attended with the most palpable noes of the struggle gone through. Somebody got hurt, and the statement may be verified by reference to the roll of honor at the close of this artl- The regiment had a, history before it broke all records on the field "of des- tlny." When the news reached "vVash- irs'ton on Saturday evening, April 13, That Maj Anderson had agreed to uate Fort Suinter next day, Gov. Ramsey of Minnesota, who happened to be on a visit to the capital, hastened to the war department and tendered men to uphold the flag. The offer iiade known to President Lincoln and accepted by him before he wrote the call for 75.000 men. Gov. Ramsey at once wired Lieutenant Governor nelly to rally the volunteers. Dur- iny Sunday, the 14th, the day of ex- tent and doubt all over the country, tke armory at St. Paul was thronged patriots, who eventually shoulder- lUEkets in Minnesota's First regi- L Josias R. King, who during the war rose from the ranks to the cap- y of Company G, signed his papers that night and claims the honor of be- the senior volunteer in the United s service in the civil war. Recruiting went on rapidly all over the stale, and at the close of April ten anies had reported at Fort Snell- r muster in. The companies were d in part from pre-existing militia organizations, as their syno- -3 indicate, as follows: The Pioneer guards, Stillwater guards, St. Paul •\u25a0\u25a0=, Lincoln guards, St. An- thony zouaves, Goodhue volunteers, ta volunteers, Wabasha volun- "vYlnona volunteers and 1 the Fair- t volunteers. Writing of the per- sonnel of these companies, Capt. Wil- liam Lochren, historian of the regi- ment, says: "Little personel examina- tion of the men was necessary, as care had been takfn to enlist none who had any personel defect. The men wore brawny and stalwart, of all pro- fessions, trades and callings, having many in the ranks who sought for no office, yet were well fitted by natural abttity, education and training to dis- charge well the duties of any position civiLor military." No uniforms were pro\Med, a fact which shows that the militia was not on a war footing, but the state furnished each man a blank- et, a pair of socks and a red flannel Bhlrt. Those same red shirts played a n< table part at the first battle of Bull Run, where many terribly bloody noses were given all because of mistaken identity. The regiment covered itself with glory that day and plainly Bhowed that all that was wanting for a Gettysburg affair was the chance. The First was on the Henry house hill at Bull Run, where the desperate fighting took place, and where, it must be owned, some ephemeral reputations vanished. The Minnesotans supported the batteries of Ricketts and Griffin when they wore trying to hold the key to the field in the face of Stonewall .ii.<kson. Bee, Bartovv and the rest. When the batteries had a chance to Ewecp the Southerners from the field with their well planted guns, the artil- lery chief told them to hold their fire, for the supposed enemies were friends. The order was obeyed, and in a mo- ment, almost, the Confelerates at close lunge mowed down gunners, horses and officers. wrecking the batteries and realiy deciding the issue on that hill. One of the charging regiments from Alabama wore red shirts, and that doubtless led to some of the confusion as to friends and foes. The Minneso- tans, however, knew that their own red shirts covered no backs but their own, and although appealed to by Con- rates, as well as warned by the or.ler to Federal gunners, they let drive at red, gray and butternut alike. They staid on the hill until the enemy disappeared, and they themselves were Ol dered to retire. When the survivors Col. William Colvill, Lieut. Col. Charles Powell Adams. Maj. Mark W.

A veteran battalion of two companies was immediately organized, and it served at the front to the close of the war. The battles of the regiment proper ] numered 13 and of the battalion 6, mi- i eluding the sieg-e of Petersburg. Total i loss of the regiment and the battalion j 187 killed and 398 wounded and recover- ed. Upon the reorganization of the army after the first battle of Bull Run ! the regiment was assigned to the First brigade, Second division, Second corps, and remained In that command durin<» its service. \u2666 . — Children's Home Burned. GLENWOOD, 10., Aug. 29.-The state in- stitute for feeble-minded children was com- !pletely destroyed by fire at an early hour i j this morning, Involving a loss of $150,000. All of the inmates were rescued, and the records t and papers saved. The fire was caused by a : bolt of ligtning, which struck the build'inz I at 2:30 a. m. About 100 chiMrea were in the i building at the time. GENERAL WILLIS A. GOnjtfAH. [First colonel of the regiment.] reached Centerville that night, they laid their bivouacs and went to sleep, expecting a renewal of the fight next day. During the night the line was aroused and ordered to retreat to Washington. The crisis at the batteries and final loss of the hill and some cannon were enough to have stampeded a new com- mand, especially with the prevailing uncertainty as to uniforms. This latter extended to the gray, which was worn by companion regiments of the red- shirted Minnesotans as well as by Southerners. But the First had a good leader in Col. Willis A. Gorman. Gorman was a native of Kentucky, of Irish ancestry. He had fought in Mexico as colonel of the Third Indiana. Throughout its career and under other leaders the First was noted for the same pluck that distinguished it at Bull Run. At the charge on Marye's Heights, Fredericksburg, a regiment on the right of the First Minnesota gave way under a sharp cannonading, and shortly two others brake to the rear. The Minnesotans stood fast, and Gen. Howard said to Col. Alfred Sully, the second leader of the regiment, "Sully, your First Minnesota doesn't run." Sully was a West Point soldier, with \u25a0.lue pride In his men. Somewhat tartly he replied, "Gen. Howard, the First Minnesota never runs." At Gettysburg the regiment was com- manded by Col. William Colvill, a man of Spartan mold, worthy to be first among the braves he led that clay into the jaws of death. In the battle of the Glendale thickets, on the peninsula, while captain of a company, he was desperately wounded, but gave his men no sign. They were surprised to learn next morning that he was shot through the breast. The story of the charge of the First Minnesota at Gettysburg during a cri- sis in the fight of Sickles' Third corps is at this late day receiving some at- tention from war historians, but not what it deserves. There were 262 men in the eight com- panies present at the time. Forty-seven men rallied on the return. Seventy-five lay dead or dying, and nearly twice that number was wounded. Not one was missing, not one surrendered, not. one dodged the ordeal or left the fiery ranks. "It had to be done," said Han- cock, "and I was glad to find such a gallant body of men willing to make the sacrifice."

[Leader ia the Gettysburg charge.] SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1896.— TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. BATH I]i CHA|BPfIG|IE A TOMBSTOXE TEAMSTER'S QVEER IDEA OF THE HEIGHT OF LUXURY. CRAZED BY RIOTOUS LIVING. DIRKEE MADE MONEY FAST AND SPENT IT WITH PROD- IGALITY. STARTED IN BUSINESS PENNILESS. Made » Fortune, and Finally- Died In an Insane Asjlum. A champagne bath with wine selling at $2.50 a pint is a luxury which but few ordinary people indulge in, in these days of depression, but there died in the Stockton Insane asylum in California a short time ago a man who actually did bathe in this costly wine, and an ordinary hotel bathtub was the receptacle which he used for the purpose. This man was J. E. Dur- kee, whose nami was one of the best known in Arizona. He went there in the later seventies, and by a fortunate combination of circumstances wholly of his own making was soon enjoying a princely income, ranging: from $1,500 to $1,800 a day. This was maintained for a long period. The receipt of so much wealth proved too much for his weak intellect, and he ended his days in an insane asylum, almost forgotten by the people who only a few years ago were receiving his bounty. What was left of Durkee was shipped to Los An- geles and there buried from an under- taking parlor, very few people know- ing anything, and apparently caring less, about the ending of the man who less than ten years before luxuriated In champagne baths and was a high roller in that town. Durkee's life In Arizona represented the vigor and push of many another man who finds the mining camp an alluring field in which to play tag with fortune. When he struck Tomb- stone, in 1879, he did not have a dollar. He had been up and down among the mining camps of California and was not unused to going hungry and exper- iencing other hardships incident to the lot of miners. Immediately upon his arrival he set about securing contracts for hauling ore from the various mines about Tombstone to the railroad, which was then just being completed, and he soon had a goodly number of them at the stipulated price of $3 per ton. For a time he worked wholly on a bluff, without the Slightest idea of how he was to perform the contracts after securing them. He had no money to buy teams or outfits; but, accord- ing to the stories of Tombstone people, this did not disturb him in the least. A day or so after securing the first of the contracts he went to E. B. Gage, of the Grand Central mine, and with- out any preliminary talk opened up as follows: "Mr. Gage, I want to borrow $60,000." Gage was a wealthy man at that time, but he was rather taken aback at the request, particularly when Dur- kee told him that he did not have any collateral for security.—- However, after taking in the make-up of the man for a moment, he said that he would let him have the money, and it waa paid over then and there. Durkee waa thus In a position to buy all the teams and outfits he could secure, and he went to Missouri, where he purchased a whole trainload of mules. These he shipped to Tombstone, and with them he soon fitted out twenty teams of sixteen mules each and began haul- Ing ore in a manner that convinced people that he would make a success of the venture. Each team hauled thirty tons of ore a day, a total of 600 tons a day, which was transferred from the various mines to the railroads each twenty-four hours, and which brought in an income of $1,800 a day, or $650,000 a year. It was not a case of gradual increase in business with Durke*. He went to work one day without a dollar,the next he was draw- ing a princely income. He saw the opportunity and had the nerve to grasp it. Success followed as a mat-, ter of course. During this time he was employing seventy-five men, to all of whom he was paying $150 a month. In addition, they were being fed on the best the land could afford. But Durkee, like other men who have suddenly come into possession of much wealth, was unable to keep his head. Periodically he made excursions to Los Angeles and other places, where he could enjoy a season of riotous liv- ing and wild debauch. One of these visits was made to Los Angeles in the summer of 1886. At that time the town had a real estate boom, and money was, in consequence, flow- ing very freely. Durkee was, however, equal to the wildest of the boomers in his ability to spend money, and even those who were making money by the thousands stood aghast at his utter abandon. The most extravagant circumstance, and one which has lived to this day, was the occasion when he had Juat re- turned from driving behind some fast horses he had been purchasing for trot- ting purposes. Ringing up the boy after going to his room he ordered that half a dozen baskets of champagne be sent up at once, as he wanted to take a bath. The wine was produced with- out delay, and the bath, such as few even among the very rich have in- THE SAINT PATTI^ GLOBE. dulged In, was taken, and Durkee, evi- dently very much refreshed, paid for the luxury and resumed his riotous carouse. The story of Durkee's high gambling in Tombstone, is perhaps the most In- teresting of a series of wild extrava- gances and of which Arizona people like best to talk about. He was a fre- quenter of the Oriental saloon, kept by M. E. Joyce, said to be one of the rich- set gambling places in the West. One day Durkee came into town and an- nounced that he was out for a little fun. This meant much to the saloon men, and he was given the right of way along the line. "See here," said he, "I want a chanoe to play a little faro and don't want any one to chip. in. Do you understand?" said Durkee impressively. They understood, and he was told to shout his orders. He did so. The first to be issued was for a woman of the place called Em, to take the dealer's place at the table and another young woman of the same character to take the "lookout," whereupon he pulled off his coat, and calling upon all hands to liquor at his expense, he began his play. His first bet was $1,000 on an ace. He lost before he had time to draw his breath, but instead of being disconcerted he went at it with re- newed vigor. Luck was always against him, save with an occasional small winning, and in three hours after taking charge of the table he lost just $5,000, all the money he had with him, and he withdrew from the game. Despite all adverses of thl3 character, Durkee never lost his temper and eeemed utterly careless as to the out- come. These gambling periods were more or less frequent, each time he played resulting disastrously finan- cially. When he visited Los Angeles, he al- ways appeared dressed In a teamster's garb of blue overalls and a big hat. On his hands, no matter how warm the day, was a pair of gloves. Fine clothes was not one of his weaknesses, no mat- ter what other desires he may have 13 to 24. jPRICE FIVE CENTS. (J3V/ G. A. R, Weak.

It Is rumored he Is on his way; to England to confer with Princess Kaiuland, who was heir to the Hawaiian throne. The rumor is contradicted by the royalist paper, which claims hi 3 errand is personal and has no political significance. In the same issue the editor says: "The natural outcome of the present situation is that President Dole will gracefully retire, and that Princess Kaiulani wHI be asked to head a new regime of which Dole's present cabinet officers will be the leaders." The royalists claim that they have received information to the effect that Kaiulani will be restored, while sup- porters of the republic are undor the impression that President Cleveland has empowered Willis to negotiate for an annexation treaty, or, falling in thnt., to offer the present government the protection of the United States. Either annexation or a protectorate is accept- able to the white people here, and, judging from appearances, an attempt to restore the monarchy will be m»t with resistance. _ NeTr Ritual Adopted.

"Xo more gallant deed !s recorded in•y." was Gen. Hancock's tributeto the First Minnesota for its forlornCharge at Gettysburg July 2, 1863. Un-
many a brilliant feat of arms, thedash of the First Minnesota that day
attended with the most palpablenoes of the struggle gone through.
Somebody got hurt, and the statementmay be verified by reference to theroll of honor at the close of this artl-
The regiment had a, history before itbroke all records on the field "of des-tlny." When the news reached "vVash-irs'ton on Saturday evening, April 13,
That Maj Anderson had agreed touate Fort Suinter next day, Gov.
Ramsey of Minnesota, who happenedto be on a visit to the capital, hastenedto the war department and tendered
men to uphold the flag. The offeriiade known to President Lincoln
and accepted by him before he wrotethe call for 75.000 men. Gov. Ramseyat once wired Lieutenant Governor
nelly to rally the volunteers. Dur-iny Sunday, the 14th, the day of ex-
tent and doubt all over the country,tke armory at St. Paul was thronged
patriots, who eventually shoulder-lUEkets in Minnesota's First regi-
L Josias R. King, who during thewar rose from the ranks to the cap-
y of Company G, signed his papersthat night and claims the honor of be-
the senior volunteer in the Uniteds service in the civil war.
Recruiting went on rapidly all overthe stale, and at the close of April ten
anies had reported at Fort Snell-r muster in. The companies wered in part from pre-existing
militia organizations, as their syno--3 indicate, as follows: The Pioneer
guards, Stillwater guards, St. Paul•\u25a0\u25a0=, Lincoln guards, St. An-
thony zouaves, Goodhue volunteers,ta volunteers, Wabasha volun-"vYlnona volunteers and1the Fair-
t volunteers. Writing of the per-sonnel of these companies, Capt. Wil-liam Lochren, historian of the regi-ment, says: "Little personel examina-tion of the men was necessary, as carehad been takfn to enlist none whohad any personel defect. The menwore brawny and stalwart, of all pro-fessions, trades and callings, havingmany in the ranks who sought for nooffice, yet were well fitted by naturalabttity, education and training to dis-charge well the duties of any positionciviLor military." No uniforms werepro\Med, a fact which shows that themilitia was not on a war footing, butthe state furnished each man a blank-et, a pair of socks and a red flannelBhlrt. Those same red shirts played an< table part at the first battle of BullRun, where many terribly bloody noseswere given all because of mistakenidentity. The regiment covered itselfwith glory that day and plainlyBhowed that all that was wanting fora Gettysburg affair was the chance.
The First was on the Henry househill at Bull Run, where the desperatefighting took place, and where, itmustbe owned, some ephemeral reputationsvanished. The Minnesotans supportedthe batteries of Ricketts and Griffinwhen they wore trying to hold the keyto the field in the face of Stonewall.ii.<kson. Bee, Bartovv and the rest.When the batteries had a chance toEwecp the Southerners from the fieldwith their well planted guns, the artil-lery chief told them to hold their fire,for the supposed enemies were friends.The order was obeyed, and in a mo-ment, almost, the Confelerates at closelunge mowed down gunners, horsesand officers. wrecking the batteries andrealiy deciding the issue on that hill.One of the charging regiments fromAlabama wore red shirts, and thatdoubtless led to some of the confusionas to friends and foes. The Minneso-tans, however, knew that their ownred shirts covered no backs but theirown, and although appealed to by Con-
rates, as well as warned by theor.ler to Federal gunners, they letdrive at red, gray and butternut alike.They staid on the hill until the enemydisappeared, and they themselves wereOl dered to retire. When the survivors

\u2666 .—Children's Home Burned.
GLENWOOD, 10., Aug. 29.-The state in-stitute for feeble-minded children was com-!pletely destroyed by fire at an early hour
ij this morning, Involvinga loss of $150,000. Allof the inmates were rescued, and the records
tand papers saved. The fire was caused by a: bolt of ligtning, which struck the build'inz
I at 2:30 a. m. About 100 chiMrea were in thei building at the time.
GENERAL WILLIS A. GOnjtfAH.
[First colonel of the regiment.]
reached Centerville that night, theylaid their bivouacs and went to sleep,expecting a renewal of the fight nextday. During the night the line wasaroused and ordered to retreat toWashington.
The crisis at the batteries and finalloss of the hill and some cannon wereenough to have stampeded a new com-mand, especially with the prevailinguncertainty as to uniforms. This latterextended to the gray, which was wornby companion regiments of the red-shirted Minnesotans as well as bySoutherners. But the First had a goodleader in Col. Willis A. Gorman.
Gorman was a native of Kentucky,of Irish ancestry. He had fought inMexico as colonel of the Third Indiana.Throughout its career and under otherleaders the First was noted for thesame pluck that distinguished it atBull Run. At the charge on Marye'sHeights, Fredericksburg, a regiment onthe right of the First Minnesota gaveway under a sharp cannonading, andshortly two others brake to the rear.
The Minnesotans stood fast, and Gen.Howard said to Col. Alfred Sully, thesecond leader of the regiment, "Sully,your First Minnesota doesn't run."Sully was a West Point soldier, with\u25a0.lue pride In his men. Somewhat tartly
he replied, "Gen. Howard, the FirstMinnesota never runs."
At Gettysburg the regiment was com-manded by Col. William Colvill, a manof Spartan mold, worthy to be firstamong the braves he led that clay intothe jaws of death. In the battle of theGlendale thickets, on the peninsula,while captain of a company, he wasdesperately wounded, but gave his menno sign. They were surprised to learnnext morning that he was shot throughthe breast.
The story of the charge of the FirstMinnesota at Gettysburg during a cri-sis in the fight of Sickles' Third corpsis at this late day receiving some at-tention from war historians, but notwhat it deserves.
There were 262 men in the eight com-panies present at the time. Forty-sevenmen rallied on the return. Seventy-fivelay dead or dying, and nearly twicethat number was wounded. Not onewas missing, not one surrendered, not.one dodged the ordeal or left the fieryranks. "Ithad to be done," said Han-cock, "and Iwas glad to find such agallant body of men willing to makethe sacrifice."

Asjlum.
A champagne bath with wine sellingat $2.50 a pint is a luxury which butfew ordinary people indulge in, inthese days of depression, but theredied in the Stockton Insane asylumin California a short time ago a manwho actually did bathe in this costlywine, and an ordinary hotel bathtubwas the receptacle which he used forthe purpose. This man was J. E. Dur-kee, whose nami was one of the bestknown in Arizona. He went there inthe later seventies, and by a fortunatecombination of circumstances whollyof his own making was soon enjoyinga princely income, ranging: from $1,500to $1,800 a day. This was maintainedfor a long period. The receipt of so muchwealth proved too much for his weak
intellect, and he ended his days in aninsane asylum, almost forgotten by
the people who only a few years agowere receiving his bounty. What wasleft of Durkee was shipped to Los An-geles and there buried from an under-taking parlor, very few people know-ing anything, and apparently caringless, about the ending of the man wholess than ten years before luxuriatedIn champagne baths and was a highroller in that town.
Durkee's life In Arizona representedthe vigor and push of many anotherman who finds the mining camp analluring field in which to play tagwith fortune. When he struck Tomb-stone, in 1879, he did not have a dollar.He had been up and down among themining camps of California and wasnot unused to going hungry and exper-iencing other hardships incident to thelot of miners. Immediately upon hisarrival he set about securing contractsfor hauling ore from the various minesabout Tombstone to the railroad,which was then just being completed,and he soon had a goodly number ofthem at the stipulated price of $3 perton. For a time he worked wholly ona bluff, without the Slightest idea ofhow he was to perform the contractsafter securing them. He had no moneyto buy teams or outfits; but, accord-ing to the stories of Tombstone people,this did not disturb him in the least.A day or so after securing the firstof the contracts he went to E. B. Gage,of the Grand Central mine, and with-out any preliminary talk opened upas follows:
"Mr. Gage, Iwant to borrow $60,000."Gage was a wealthy man at that
time, but he was rather taken abackat the request, particularly when Dur-kee told him that he did not have anycollateral for security.—-However, aftertaking in the make-up of the man fora moment, he said that he would lethim have the money, and it waa paidover then and there. Durkee waa thusIn a position to buy all the teams andoutfits he could secure, and he went
to Missouri, where he purchased awhole trainload of mules. These heshipped to Tombstone, and with themhe soon fitted out twenty teams ofsixteen mules each and began haul-Ing ore in a manner that convincedpeople that he would make a successof the venture. Each team hauledthirty tons of ore a day, a total of600 tons a day, which was transferredfrom the various mines to the railroadseach twenty-four hours, and whichbrought in an income of $1,800 a day,or $650,000 a year. Itwas not a caseof gradual increase in business withDurke*. He went to work one daywithout a dollar,the next he was draw-ing a princely income. He saw theopportunity and had the nerve tograsp it. Success followed as a mat-,
ter of course.During this time he was employing
seventy-five men, to all of whom hewas paying $150 a month. In addition,they were being fed on the best theland could afford.
But Durkee, like other men whohave suddenly come into possession ofmuch wealth, was unable to keep hishead. Periodically he made excursionsto Los Angeles and other places, wherehe could enjoy a season of riotous liv-ing and wild debauch.
One of these visits was made to LosAngeles in the summer of 1886. At thattime the town had a real estate boom,and money was, in consequence, flow-ing very freely. Durkee was, however,equal to the wildest of the boomers inhis ability to spend money, and eventhose who were making money by thethousands stood aghast at his utterabandon.
The most extravagant circumstance,and one which has lived to this day,was the occasion when he had Juat re-turned from driving behind some fasthorses he had been purchasing for trot-ting purposes. Ringing up the boyafter going to his room he ordered thathalf a dozen baskets of champagne besent up at once, as he wanted to takea bath. The wine was produced with-out delay, and the bath, such as feweven among the very rich have in-

dulged In, was taken, and Durkee, evi-dently very much refreshed, paid forthe luxury and resumed his riotouscarouse.
The story of Durkee's high gamblingin Tombstone, is perhaps the most In-teresting of a series of wild extrava-gances and of which Arizona peoplelike best to talk about. He was a fre-quenter of the Oriental saloon, kept byM.E. Joyce, said to be one of the rich-set gambling places in the West. Oneday Durkee came into town and an-nounced that he was out for a littlefun. This meant much to the saloonmen, and he was given the right ofway along the line.
"See here," said he, "Iwant a chanoeto play a little faro and don't want anyone to chip. in. Do you understand?"said Durkee impressively.
They understood, and he was told toshout his orders. He did so. The firstto be issued was for a woman of theplace called Em, to take the dealer'splace at the table and another youngwoman of the same character to takethe "lookout," whereupon he pulled offhis coat, and calling upon all hands toliquor at his expense, he began hisplay. His first bet was $1,000 on anace. He lost before he had time todraw his breath, but instead of beingdisconcerted he went at it with re-newed vigor. Luck was alwaysagainst him, save with an occasionalsmall winning,and in three hours aftertaking charge of the table he lost just$5,000, all the money he had with him,and he withdrew from the game.
Despite all adverses of thl3 character,Durkee never lost his temper andeeemed utterly careless as to the out-come. These gambling periods weremore or less frequent, each time heplayed resulting disastrously finan-cially.
When he visited Los Angeles, he al-ways appeared dressed In a teamster'sgarb of blue overalls and a big hat.On his hands, no matter how warm theday, was a pair of gloves. Fine clotheswas not one of his weaknesses, no mat-ter what other desires he may have

-**- ,ROYALIST REGIME.
It Is Expected by the, HawaiianLeaden.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29—Pe*Steamer Rio Janeiro from Honolulu.Aug. 22—E. C. McFarland, a prominentroyalist, left for San Francisco on the20th. It Is rumored he Is on his way;to England to confer with PrincessKaiuland, who was heir to the Hawaiianthrone. The rumor is contradicted bythe royalist paper, which claims hi 3errand is personal and has no politicalsignificance. In the same issue theeditor says: "The natural outcome ofthe present situation is that PresidentDole will gracefully retire, and thatPrincess Kaiulani wHIbe asked to heada new regime of which Dole's presentcabinet officers willbe the leaders."
The royalists claim that they havereceived information to the effect thatKaiulani will be restored, while sup-porters of the republic are undor theimpression that President Cleveland hasempowered Willis to negotiate for anannexation treaty, or, falling in thnt.,to offer the present government theprotection of the United States. Eitherannexation or a protectorate is accept-able to the white people here, and,judging from appearances, an attemptto restore the monarchy will be m»twith resistance. _
