ORDERED NEW COURT ROBES.
Hawaii's Ex-Queen Expected to be
Restored Last Tuesday. .
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-—Accordi ng to
j a letter received from aprominent resident
’in Honolulu yesterday by the steamer
Alameda, which brought newa that there
was no change in the situation in Hawaii
and that Minister Willis had made no
move that would lead to his intentions,
the queen expected to be restored on the
~ let inst. ‘
Orders“ Court Robes.
The correspondent states that the queen
‘has given orders for full train gowns for
the ladies of her‘court and a magnificent
purple robe for herself. These gowns are
to be used at the restoration which the
letter states is to take place next Tuesday,
(Nov. 21). .
4 “New uniforms,” the letter goes on to
say, “have been made for the queen’s
guards and everything is ready for an im-
posing display‘when the provisional gov-
ernment has to step down and out.
Liilitary Cernpauies Astir.
"The military companies continue to
drill and the city is on a war footing.
“0n the men-of—war, liberty has been
stopped and the indications are that some
thing will drop in a few days. Admiral
Irwin is ready to act at a moment’s notice
and judging from what we have seen of
\him there will be no ‘monkeying’ when he
makes a move.
“If the United States has determined to
restore the queen the provisional govern -
ment will be powerlsss to prevent. Every-
body is in a state of suspense and all we
can do is to await developments.”
Royalists Boastful.
The United Press correspondent at Hon-
olulu writing under date of the 16m inst.
says: Three days ago the ex queen made
a brief call upon the American minister
merely to pay her respects as . Mr. Willis
subsequenty stated. Up to this time Mr.
Willis has not returned her visit. On the
same day a committee of the American
league tendered a reception to Minister
Willis at which he delivered an address
in dipiomatic but agreeable and encourag-
ing terms.‘ A phrase implying that his
action was limited by specific instructions
«was~ construed - by royaliste adherents as
meaning that he had positive orders to re-
store the queen and the royalists appeared
on the streets in a more boastful and ag-
gressive mood. ,

Disgrace‘ful Scenes in the
Italian Chamber. ‘
Giolitti‘s Impeachment Demanded
by Ercited Deputies —— Repeated.
Cries of “Shame” and Kisses Dur;
ing the Reading' of the Bank
Scandal Report—~A Crisis On. {Q
ROME, Nov. 249—There was wild scenes
of disorder and excitement in the Italian
chamber yesterday when the commission’s
report on the bank scandal was read. The
report was more severe than had been ex-
pected upon the deputies, ministers and
ex-ministers, blaming among others ex-
Premier Crispi and others as prominent in
Italian affairs. , '
Premier Giolitti was censured especially.
The reading of the report was repeatedly
interrupted with cries of “shame,” .,“you
lie,” and repeated hissing. When the part
accusing Giolitti was read several deputies
sprang to their feet and, pointing to Gio-
litti, shouted: “Shame upon you?” “Quit
your seat!” “Leave the housel” ‘fYou are
a disgrace!” f‘Resignl” L
At the end of the reading of the report
Matteo Imbriani sprang to a seat and,
waving a paper at the President, shouted
that it contained a motion to impeach the
ministers, “We can discuss it to-mor-
row,” said Zanardelli. “No, no! Now,
to-night! We must discuss it now!” was
shouted back from a hundred deputies.
The tumult increased. . 4
Men pressed forward towards the presi-
dent and the ministers. After some hesi-
tation Zanardelli suspended the sitting.
As he and the ministers left the chamber
the mob of deputies howled and cursed at
them. C
Disgraceful scenes followed the depart-
ure of the ministers. Rival deputies ex-
changed insults, and pushed and pulled
each other over seats and desks. Acts of
violence, unprecedented in the history of
the chamber, were done on every side.
Eventually, at 10 o’clock, the electric
light was turned of. The scuffing and
viiifying in the chamber ended abruptly
and the deputies hastened to the street. ‘
Fredrico Colajanni, a socialist leader
and the most determined mover for an
investigation‘of the bank scandals, was
received with wild enthuslasm by a tre-
mendous mob which had gathered in the
neighborhood.
In reply to the acclaims of the great
crowd, he shouted from the steps:
“You are faint hearted! You have no
convictions. If you had, you would put
the torch to this parliamentary hovel!"
Premier Giolitti, immediately after leav-
mg the chamber, reported the events of
the day to King Humbert. A _ council of
ministers will be held today. The resig-
nation of the cabinet seems to be inevitable.
'The situation is, indeed, critical. ,

cessful in Getting- I New. Men to
Come Out—First Violence at Au-
burn—Beth Sides Assert Confl-
dencc and Appear Cheerful.
WILKESBARRE, N ov. 24.——Cf' 80 non-
union men who were employed aud re-
ported for duty at the cbmpany’s office yes-
terday 71 of them have been induced by
the strikers to 'return to their homes.
Many of them left last night and others
this morning. In spite of all this the offi-
cials say freight and coal will be moved
as fast as they can get at it, and nothing
but violence can prevent resumption of
business, as there are too many applica-
tions for werk coming in from all parts of
y' the country.
A Jersey Central man'says that they re-
ceived two cars of slate and one car of
cranberries billed for points along the Le-
high Valley railroad, but when they at-
tempted to transfer the cars over the road
they were informed that for the present
. the,Valley wouldjaccept no freight from the
Jersey Central, as it could not be handled
in a proper manner. '
Chairman John R. Rice was seen and
' asked about having a conference with
some of the shippers of coal. He would not
either affirm or deny the report. He re-
plied, however, that he did know that
there was a heavy influence being brought
to bear on President Wilbur to have him
call the- grievance committee together for
another conference.
Coxton seems now to be the seat of war,
Superintendent Esser who has been there
for several hours, says that while he was
there 52 cars ' were moved east over the
Mountain Cut-out branch with seven loco-
motives manned by non-union crews.
There was no trouble or any signs of
trouble. _ .
While yesterday there were indications
of apossibility of the strike being termi«
hated within 24 or 36 hours, the firm stand
taken by President Wilbur has rather made
the men-more determined, and the final
issue of the strike and its discontinuance
is difficult to outline.
The ofiicials of the Wyoming division
claim that in a short time there will be
sufiicient force to man the division which
is acknowledged to be the most ' difiicult
one on the whole line on which to place:
new men.
. . The Lehigh Valley collieries are still
idle and scarcely any coal is being moved,
which is. a hardship for the miners and
laborers, thousands of whom are thus en‘-
forced to idleness. ' '
Passenger trains are running, some on
nearly schedule time, and there is'more
freight and coal moving than there was
yesterday. This, Of course; presents a
better showing for the company." . ' '
' 'On the other hand strikers have induced
a number of new men to leave at ,dif-
ferent points, and there is fast growing a
bond of friendship between the strikers
and non-union men. if this can be kept
. up and gang after .gang of the new men
-;taken away from the company there is no
denying that the road will have a hard
'time getting in shape without the old
men. '
Claims, However, That the Strike is
Ended, a Little Premature.
JERSEY CITY, Nov. 24.—The past 24
hours were the busiest the Lehlgh Valley
yards have seen since the strike was in-
augurated, but the company’s claim that
the strike is ended seems a little “prema-
ture at present. 7 '
Three trains, each made up of twenty-
eight freight cars, were sent out to " Eas-
ton, Buffalo and Chicago. All passenger
trains went out on time, but those com-
ing in were half an hour late, one an hour
in fact, and only one freight train ar-
rived. It (onsisted of twenty-five; cars
and came from Easton. ‘ I
There was no trouble anywhere within
the city limits. Captain Farrier and
, thirty-two men camped 6n the ground at
’7 a. m., and were speedily reinforced by a
detachment of state detectives. One of
these detectives was posted on each freight
car, making, with the ‘captain, twenty-
nine officers in addition to the conductor,
were amply protected. Q:
:Agent Randi-1 said he had not heard' of
a proposed settlement, and he did not be-
lieve it. He said that when President
Wilbur-’5 ultimatum expired at noon Wed-
nesday without the men, coming back it
was determined that no strikers would be
taken back. He said there were plenty of
_men to be had.

Both Sides Claim Advantage.
BUFFALO, Nov. 24.-—“'l-‘rains will be
moving on the Lehigh road the same as
ever within three days.” That is the we
' diction of the omcials of the road.
They say they have already hired new
men enough to man the entire road, and
that when they are ready to open the ser -‘
vice again the trains will start with a
rush. - , 4 '
The strikers ridicule such statements as
the above, and say the’road ispfarther away
from resuming traffic than it was the
morning after the strike. They say there
have been no desertions of any account;
they are in good financial condition and
can fight the road all winter, and that new
men will be useless when the snow begins
to make railroading a difficult matter.
Riot at Auburn.
AUBURN, N. Y., Nov. 24.‘-4The belated
train from Ithaca returned to Auburn late
yesterday afternoon. As it was passing
through the Lehigh yard it was assailed
by a shower of stones. A deputy sheriff
was hit on the arm. , .
The fireman jumped and. fled, taking
refuge in' a near-by house. ' .
The engineer was hit on the head by a
large rock hurled with great force, cutting
an ugly gash on the scalp and perhaps
fracturing the skull. He was taken to a
hotel for surgical treatment.
Hiring Men.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24.‘——There is no
change in the Lehlgh Valley strike situa-
tion so far as Philadelphia is concerned.
The labor leaders are as sanguine as ever,
and the railroad officials reiterate the
assertion that the road will soon be in op-
. ration. The hiring of "non-union men by
the Lehigh .Valley was cpntinued today.
A motley crowd surrounded‘the recruiting
office, 141 Swansick street, and one of the‘
brotherhood officials, .,wo9;,:.was on the
scene, declared that none Of the‘applicaut s
wore at all fit for the service.

Damon, Nov. 24.—By the burning of,
the five story iron front brick building,
Nos. 195 to 202 Jefferson avenue, occupied
by Edson Moore & Co., wholesale dry
goods, yesterday afternoon, seven em-
ployee lost their lives, a fireman was badly
injured, and the monetary loss will reach
in the neighborhood of' $800,000.
The dead are: \
J emes McKay.
Bradley A. Dunning.
Ed. Genther, entry clerk, single; 28
years old.
Edward N. Viot. order clerk, 144 Cath-
erine street.
' Pat. Markey, 32 years Old, wife and
three children. .
Daniel A. Baker, 'clerk, 569 Clinton
avenue.
Henry Rider, packer. 436 Theodore
street.
The fire started between the fourth and
fifth floors at the rear of the building and
spread with frightful rapidity.
Those who were first on the scene saw a
frightful sight. The upper floors were a
mass of flames. 0n the window sill of
the fourth and fifth floor stood Bradley .
Dunning; two windows south of him
stood James McKay.
“DOn’t jump; wait for the hook and
ladder,” shrieked the crowd.
Limp and. Man gled.
But before the ladder could be raised
the flames rolled to the window-ledge
where Dunning stood. He honed his head,
grasped the window-ledge with his hands,
and then dropped. The people watch-
ing him had just time to throw a halo of
jute beneath him, and it was no sooner in
place than Dunning struck .it. He
bounded up like a rubber ball and then
fell to the sidewalk, limp and, mangled.
He died in the hospital. ‘-
The falling of James Mckay followed in
a few minutes. When he appeared at'the
window he made no sign that he was star-
ing death in the face.
Hurled Through the Air.
After a short hesitation he threw his
feet out of the window and slid down un-
til he was holding on with only one of his
hands to the sill. He hung this way for
several seconds. The blazing fire was
bursting out through the window, when
the terrified man gave up all hopes and , I
slipped loose from his hold. He struck on
the easement of the. second window and
partly turned over. This threw him so
far out of the window that part of his
body struck on the electric wires below,

Sank Back in the Flames.
The awful spectacle of McKay’s ,ahd .
Dunning’s‘ descent was hardlyigover when:
the spectators saw another 'man- creeping
toward‘the upper window nearest the cor-
ner. ' He was evidently on his hands and
knees, blinded and suffocating in'the dense
smoke. He reached the sill, laid one arm
on it and, as he endeavored to shield his
face from the fierce heat with his hand,
tried to drag himself to open air . just be-
yond. He was to far spent. ,A sudden
burst of flame clOsed around him and the
horrror-stricken beholders saw his head
drop, his arm drag slowly back and his
body sink from view in the flames within.
Meantime a general al‘z‘irm had been
turned in and nearly all the companies in
the department responded. -
The flames resisted the work’of the fire-
men stubbornly and it was not until after
the walls had fallen in that that they were
finally subdued.
