CRITICISM OF EX-MINISTER STEVENS

The Commissioner ChtrflM the Overthrow of the QBUBtoOoUmsloa Between the Americas Minister aad the Presnt fNiMsssI Osmuust

«Tn on ar miBAK

WASHINGTON, MOT. SI.—Secretary Greaham decided Monday afternoon to make public all the oorreapondenoe and the report of James H. Blount, the special commissioner sent to Hawaii by Preslnent Cleveland to investigate the revolution whioh dethroned Queen Llliuokalani and the establishment of the provisional government. The report In substanoe does not add muoh information to that oontalned in the •xtraet published In Monday'* diapatoh. He say*! "Before any demand for surrender had even be*n made on the queen or on the oommander or any oBoer o( any of her military foros* at any of the points where her troops were lose ted the Amerloan minister had reoognl*ed th* proviilonal government and was ready to give It the support of the United States troops.''

He shows the position which the queen occupied, and describes the race and oltlienahlp of the men oonoerned in the revolution. The various commissioners of the provisional government and Minister Stevens are quoted and oommented upon.

GoUnslon Charged.

Mr. Blo.unt shows collusion on the part of the United States minister and the revolutionists. He goes into the details of the matter and points out by time and place the haste with whloh Mr. Stevens acted, and by quoting from Stevens' report and the papers on file at the legation deolarea that the minister misrepresented the revolution to the United States government He points the lack of harmony In the statements and critlolces Stevens, saying: "KK Stereos consulted freely with the leaden of the revolutionary movement from the evening of June 14 These disclosed to him all their plans. They feared arrest and punishment Be promised them protection. They needed the troops on shore to overawe the queen's supporters and government This he agreed to and did furnish. They had few arm* and no trained soldiers. They did not mean to light It wee arranged between and the Amerloan minister that the proclamation dethroning the queen and organ{ring a provisional government should be read from th* government building and should follow it with a speedy recognition. All this wa* to be done with Amerloan troops provided with (mail arms and artillery aoross a narrow *tn*t within a stone's throw. This was done.

Would Not Have Undertaken It. 'The leaden of the revolutionary movement would not have undertaken It but for Mr. Stevens' promise to protect them against any danger from the government. But for this their mass meeting would not have been held. But for this no request to land troops would have been .made. Bad the troops not been landed no measures for the organlntlon of a new government would have been taken The American minister and the revolutionary loaders bad determined on annexation to the United States and had agreed on the part each wa* to aot to the very end."

A Word for the Qoeco.

Mr. Blount says that the natives feel that a great wrong has been done them and their queen, when the qneen resigned under protest, and did not believe that the action of Stevens would be Indorsed. He adds: "Indeed, who would have supposed that the circumstances surrounding ber could nave been foreseen and sanctioned deliberately by the president of tb* United States? Her uniform Conduct and the prevailing sentiment among tbe natives point to her belief, an well as theln, that the spirit of Justloe on the part of the president would restore her crown."

That Is the only thing in the nature of a recommendation made In the long report

Cause of th* Revolution.

Commissioner Blount in his report gives the following account of the causes leading up to the deposition of Queen Lilluok&lanl: "In the legislatures of 18M and 189g many petitions were Bled asking for anew constitution. Many were presented to the king and queen. The dlsoontent with the constitution it

qneen, and to ask Mr. Stevens to land the troops, assuring them that In suoh an event Mr. Stevens would do so. falling to enlist any of the quben's cabinet In the oause, It wa* neoessary to devise some other mode to accomplish this purpose. A oommlttee of safety consisting of thirteen memben had been formed from a .little body of men assembled In W. O. Smith's oBce. A deputation of these, Informing Mr. Stevens of their plans, arranged with him to land the troops If they would ask It, for the purpose of protecting Ufa and property. It was agreed between him and them that in the event they should oocupy the government building and proclatm a new government he would recognise it "The two leading members of the oommlttee, Messrs. Thurston and Smith, growing uneasy as to the safety of their persons, went to him to know If he would proteot them lu the event of their arrest by theauthorlUes, to which he gave hi* assent. At the mass-meeting callcd by the oommlttee of safety on the Kth of January there was no communication to the orown of any purpose to dethrone the queen or to change the form of government, but only to authorise th* oommlttee to take steps to prevent a consummation of the queen's purpose and to have guarantee* of public tafety. The committee of publlo safety bad kept their purpose from the publlo view at this maai-maetlng and at their small gatherings for fear of proceedings against them by the government of the quaen. After the mass meeting had closed a oell on the American minister for troops was mads and Signed Indiscriminately by Germans, by Americans and by Hawaiian subjeots of forslgn extraction."

Landing of Amerloan Troope. The commissioner says the response to that call does not appear on the flies of the legation. That very night the oommlttee on publlo safety assembled in a house next to Minister Stevens' residence J. H. Soper, an American, was elected to command the military forces. It waa on Monday evening, January 18, at S o'clock that United States troops were landed. Not nsuch time elapsed before It was given out by members of the committee on safety that they were designed to support them. At the palaoe, with the cabinet, among the leaders of the queen's military foroes and the great body of the people who were loyal to the qneen the apprehension came that It was a movement hostile to the existing government Protests were filed by the minister of foreign affairs and by the governor of the islands against the landing of troops. essrs. Parker and Peterson testify that on Tuesday at 1 o'clock they called on Mr. Stevens and by him were Informed that In the event the queen's forces assailed the Insurrectionary foroes he would intervene. At 2:80 the same day the members of the provialonal government proceeded to the government building in squads and read their proclamation. They had separated in their maroh to the government building for fear of observation and arrest

Mr. Blount describes the location of the troops, showing that the American troops controlled the position of the queen's troops, and continues: "They were doubtless so located to suggest to the queen and her oouasellors that they were In cooperation with the Insurrectionary movement and would, when the emergency srose, manifest It by active support It did doubtless suggest to the men who read the proclamation that they were having the support of the American minister and naval commander and were safe from personal harm."

CAUGHT IN THE AOT.

Canadian Dynamiter* Try to Destroy a •mn Monument at Montreal. MONTREAL, Can., Nov. II. Henri Mercier, aged BO, an ofBoer of the Sixtyfifth Canadian rifles, son of ex-Premler Mercier) Paul de Martlgny, aged 10, eon of a prominent phyalclani Oscar Pelland, 16, brother of L. O. Pelland, a prominent barrister, and Gaston Hughes, son of Lieut Col. Hugea, chief of polloe, were arrested at an early hour Monday morning. They were caught red-handed in the act of attempting to blow up the Nelson monument on Jacques square, where, since 1808, It has stood to commemorate the victory of England's great admiral over the combined fleets of Franoe and Spain In the memorable battle of Trafalgar.

While the polloe of Montreal congratulate themselves on the timely discovery of the plot the consummation of which ^osglbly meant the loss of many Uvea, the affair has caused a tremendous sensation. For some weeks the French press has been agitating the removal of the monument from the famous Frenoh square, and incidentally have bitterly attacked the private life and personal oharacter of Nelson, claiming him to have been a moral leper. This no doubt led to the conception of lot at the destruction of the monument HaSi -been carefully thought out waa evident by the faot thai a hole had boen bored in the baae to admit the dynamite cartridge. When tho police seised him young Mercier waa lust placing the cartridge, and attached to it waa a fuse 80 feet long. The city hall, the oourthouse, the Jaoques Cartler hotel and the Hlendleu hotel surround Jacques Cartler square, and the cartridge waa large enough to have blown the entire block to atoms. The cartridge was 11 inohes long ana contained a pound and a half of dynamite.

Then was no response. January IT ahe sent another letter, telling htm that the present constitution would be maintained.

THE BIO STRIKE.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 21.— Monday's developments show the Lehigh Valley railroad to be practically in the hands of the strikers from Wilkesbarre, Pa., to Buffalo, N. Y. East of Wilkesbarre all passenger and a few freight trains are moving. Following the stoppage of transportation to-day all the coal mines will be shutdown,87,000 miners and others will be Idle, with not enough money to keep them In food one week.

Lawlessness feared.

This will throw a vast body of men into idleness, and lawlessness will follow. The Lehigh Valley company has notified the sheriff In every county through which Its road passes that it will hold that county responsible for all damages to property. So far no acts of lawlessness have been reported, but the worst is feared when the miners become desperate. Unemployed men are flocking to all points on the line of the road. The critical period will he today. All employes have been notified to return to work or they will be die oharged. Thoae who refuse will be dismissed permanently and the new men will take their places. This will precipitate a great row, it Is feared, and will result In a notice that all labor organisation members will be forever debarred from the road.

Operators Ar* Pleased.

The shutting down of the coal mines will be welcomed by the operators and other*, because they have big stocks of coal on hand. The Lehigh Valley haa 800,000 tons In one storage yard at South Plaisted, N. J., immense piles at Buffalo, and trains laden witn eoal all along the road. If this ean be put out at an advanoed figure tne Company will not only make money by the strike but It will save In wagea. After the railroad men and miners have been beaten on the Lehigh Valley It is said the Jersey Central or Delaware A Lackawanna will be taken up. The Philadelphia A Heading IK already out of all unions and there will be no strike on that line.

Tried to Trap Htrlkera.

The general grievance committee says that overtures were made to Chairman Wilklns, of the Lehigh Valley railroad strikers, Monday by detectives in the employ of the company, who offered to burn bridges and blow up roundhouses. They were ordered out of the Bingham house, In which the committee has its headquarters.
