THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, JANUARY' 7, 1894. u
Auckland. Officials of the State and Navy Departments now accept the cable advice us accurate. In Captain Munger's repdrt to the Treasury Department of the arrival of the revenue cutter Corwin at San Francisco he stated that the vessel sailed from Honolulu on the 21th of December. The captain's report contains notnlng of Interest. If the vessel left on the ith, she brings news from that place two days later than that reported in the dispatch fpm Auckland. The emphatic Incredulity expressed by the State. Department yesterday has been changed by the receipt of a cipher dispatch which came by the Corwin. and it fully confirmed the news received by the Associated ljress. It seems that the Queen ha-s reconsidered her objections to acceding to the conditions exacted, aad Minister Willis has proceeded on the line of his original instructions, notifying the provisional government that they are expected to retire in order to allow the restoration of the Vjueen. Nothing can be learned as to the extent of the disturbance caused by this action, but that there is a condition of tension and great excitement in Honolulu is certain. The news Is a surpise, and as much so to the State Department as was '?M,ncws n the first place that Minister Willis had failed to carry out his instructions owing to the refusal of the Queen to accede to the conditions. The disappointment felt by the .State Department can be measured by terms used to discredit the Auckland dispatch. It was sail that the news was Impossible In the light or Minister Willis's instructions and the 1 resident's message, and that rumors must nave been set afloat In Honolulu with the deliberate purpose "of throwing discredit oa the good f lith of President Cleveland. CONSULTED WITH CRUSH AM. Representative Ilaynor. of Maryland, who la to speak for the administration la the House, was an early visitor at. the Department of State this morning, and was Closeted with Secretary Gresham for some time. Senator Cray, of Delaware, who Is the spokesman for the Hawaiian policy cn the floor of the Senate, came later and had a short conference with the Secretary Cf State, There Is no doubt that all concerned feel that this latest phase of the Hawaiian Imbroglio involves very serious consequences. it does not ai pear that there ia any disjositlon on the part of the provisional government to yield peaceably, and there la no apprehension that Minister Willis proposes to resort to force. His Instructions are1 explicitly against such a course. Minister Willis is felt by the State Department to have acted with bad Judgment In having thus, attempted to pursue a. policy which had been defined under conditions very different from those under which ho acted. At the Capitol, to-day, there was man!-, fested a great deal of Interest In Hawaiian news, and a general desire was expressed for the contents of the cipher telegram sent by the steamer Corwin. It became generally known that the. Auckland cable dispatch was correct, though some members were reluctant to admit It, and still expressed some doubt. Representative Ilaynor was one of these. 'I was at the State Department to-day for a long time," he said, "and was Informed that the Corwin brought no news." Mr. Hltt, of Illinois, was evldentlv one of those who did not doubt the authenticity Of the Auckland cable. "They will give out nothing at the State Department," he said. "What we want to know la what has been done; what is the result of the demands by Minister Willis on the provisional government. The Corwin mu3t have left the islands several days after the Alameda, and ought to have much later Information." On the basis of the special cable from Auckland. Mr. Hitt introduced the following resolution In the House to-day: "Resolved, That the President be requested to communicate to the House of Representatives, if not Inconsistent with the public Interests, all Information received Binee his message of Dec. 18, 1833, or not transmitted therewith and now in his possession touching recent reported events in the Hawaiian Islands, any attempts to overturn the republican government thereof and erect a monarchy in its stead, and especially whether any representative off.cer, vessel or armed foice of the United States took part in such attempts to subvert a friendly government, and if so by whose orders they acted." Scnitor Gray, of Delaware, was at the House of Representatives after his conference with Secretary Gresham at the State Department. The Senator said he learned nothing as to the dispatches brought by the revenue cutter Corwin. SENATOR F RYE'S VIEWS Senator Frye, also a member of the Senate committee on foreign relations, expressed much concern to know whether the advices received yesterday were correct, and when assured that they were.
Lid: "It Is the grossest outrg jet. If the storyiTeWh VMr.-Cleveland did not say In KtSry that he would drop the matter unless Congress should give him Its support, his message created the impression that such would be his policy, , and he ought. In all fairness, after delivering that message, to have immediately withdrawn all Instructions to his minister locking to interference with the affairs of Hawaii, until Congress could at least have had time to take action." "What." was asked, "do you think will be the next move made by the President?" "He cannot, with due regard to the Constitution, go any further than he has gone, but I cannot undertake to say what Mr. Cleveland will do." Senator Allison felt some doubt about the correctness of the report, but said: "If it is true, it Is a great mistake. The whole business must end In a fiasco for the President has said he would not use force." Senator Voorhees thinks the blame for the whole trouble over Hawaii began with the previous administration. He says the people at large care nothing about the Hawaiian question. He considers Stevens to be the responsible man. and believes he was engaged In a conspiracy six months . before the revolution took place to oust the Queen and annex the Hawaiian Islands to the United States. The Senator says he would not hesitate to go before a jury to convict him of conspiracy ami feel3 conndent ho would succeed. "If." he added, "there was some povertul government behind Hawaii as Spain was back of Cuba when certain Americans attempted to seize ht Island the consequences might be as erlous for the conspirators In this Instance ; la in that." . Senator George took very much tne same .view of the situation in Hawaii that Senator Voorhees did. He thinks Mr. Stevens's scheme .vas to annex the islands to the "United Staffs, and believes that he used force to bring about the revolution. "And that." said the Senator, "Is an act of war. It was not necessary that anybody ' should have been actually killed." Senator Hill declined to enter into any discussion of the report as it stands. "Wait until we know all about it." he said. After thinking for a moment he addd, "If it should prove true I fear that Hawaii will displace the elections bills In the Senate discussion next week." Representative McCreary. chairman of the House foreign affairs committee, still refuses to credit the news that Minister WU1I3 has' made a formal demand on the provisional government to surrender its authority to the Queen. "In my opinion." said he. "the status at Honolulu, so far as action on the part of our minister Is concerned. Is unchanged. The President has submitted the whole question to Congress, and there Is no doubt In my mind but what he fully adheres to what he said in his message on that subject. VIEWS OF HAWAIIAN'S. Charles Wilder,, Hawaiian consul at San Francisco, telegraphed the legation here that the Corwin brought no mail dispatches or newspapers to them, and that he Is unable to ascertain anything from the officers o? the Corwin as to the condition of affairs la Honolulu. Hawailans at the legation in this city express some apprehension lest the last move or Minister Willi will "inspire the royalists in Honolulu to some act of violence on their.part, or to the killing of some prominent man In the government, and thus lead to bloodshed. No feir i3 expressM that the provisional government will not prove able to suppress any putbreak, but there is ground for th.e fear that the outbreak may occur. Professor Alexander, the Hawaiian who - V A t i. f A A. . . I yus neiors tne dcii-iic cuniimuee n ioreign relations for two days last weel.. was at the Capitol this morning when the confirmation of yesterdays cable concerning the Fltuation in Hawaii .vas received. He was PTtatly interested in the news, and svdd it was not different from what he had exiccted."I don't, however, see what more Minister Willi can do. The ' Presid?nt tas instructed him not to use force, and certainly he will not disregard these instructions. There Is danger of a clash, however, ami that is the critical point at present. The people on both sides iwc naturally excited. The Quern's adherents will, of course, be emboldened by this -action on the part of Mr. Willis and theyare likely to do something at any mo mni to cause bloodshed, and there is no telling what tli result w."uld be If one Ieron should be klllI.

thought Congress would authorize President Cleveland to proceed to the restoration of the Queen by force of arms, if necessary, Mr. Alexander said he had given the question considerable attention, and he did not believe Cong:3s could be brought to take this position. He said that all he had seen. of members of Congress led him to believe that the provisional government would be fairly dealt with by that body, and the spirit displayed by the Senate committee on foreign relations in Us Investigation had corhrmed him in this opinion. DOLE'S PROBABLE REPLY. It was stated to-night that it is altogether Improbable that the Corwin left Honolulu without the reply of President Dole to the demand of Minister Willis that the provisional government should surrender its authority back to LllluokalanL The minister to the United States, L. A. Thurston, arrived at Honolulu on the Alameda Dec, 21 The Corwin left there Dec. 21. President Dole, therefore, had the benefit of Minister Thurston's counsel in framing his reply. A gentlemen in this city whose relations with both gentlemen are Intimate, expresses the conviction tnat President Dole's reply follows closely the lines of Minister Thurston's letter of Dec 3 to that oi .secretary Gresham, which was d:llvered to the Secretary the day Minister Taur3ton left Washington. In that letter Minister Thurston contended that the provisional govcrnm.nt i.-j a duly an 1 fully reeocnlzed Independent (?ovcrnment t3 which the United States has duly accredited a reiiresnutlv?; th it th- United States has ner uir:d no Jurisdiction over the Independent sovereign state of Hawaii, eitJer by conquest, treaty or voluntary submission by Hawaii, to decide any tain? us in arbitrator; thnt the provisional government his received no notice that It war; on trial for its llf?. H? contends timt thv procl3.n:iiion of th? provisional atrnncnt ti:at it was to "exl.-t until !?rrus of union with the United States have 4oen neroti '.od -nd agreed upon," die.? t me a that because annexation has not been ct consummated, the provisional goverv.tr.

If the ex-Qjeen abdicated unler the belief that the provisional government would submit the question to the United States that do?3 not vest Jurisdiction :n tne United States. If the provisional government had agreed to such submission, which is not admitted, tho United States was no party to the agreement and, therefore, had no jurisdiction. Even If a formal submission to the arbitration of the United States had been-made, that.-would vest no authority In the United States to enforce its own conclusions. It is believed that the above points, first made by Minister Thurston, who Is now '.d vising President Dole, embodies tho main points tht President Dol? will cover In his reply to Minister Willis's demand.
Adroit tori ly MuiiKcr. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6. Captain Munger, of the Corwin, has at last been Intervelwed. To an Examiner reporter to-nlrht he said that tho Associated Press Auckland dispatch, which stated that Minister Willis had made formal demand for the surrender of the provisional government was true. Beyond that Captain Munger would say no more. LYNCHING THREATENED. Mob at New Albany Wants to Get at Four Prisoners. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW ALBANY, Ind., Jan. 6. Great excitement prevailed in this city this afternoon over the report that an attempt would be made 'to lynch Marcus Duncan, a tough young character of this city. Duncan was arrested a few days ago on a vile charge, his victim being Frank Barth, the nine-year-old son of August Barth, Jr. In the mob around the Jail this afternoon were the father and mother of the boy, the father being prepared to shoot the man on sight. Three kidnapers are in jail and 'a quadruple lynching was feared. Officers decided not to take Duncan out for his preliminary t hearing, and a double guard was placed around the jail. The crowd dispersed, but threats of an assault on the jail Is being made. Duncan will be removed to prison if the jail should be attacked. CONVENIENT KINSHIP. A Twin Arrested tor Theft Brings His Exact Double Into Court. r CINCINNATI, Jan. 6. Twin brothers who closely resemble each other baHled all witnesses, attaches and the court Itself to-day. Edward Zanoni, an Italian, with a peculiarly shaped head, had previously been arraigned for stealing lur.iber. Witnesses identified him positively, but he protested hl3 twin brother did it, and said their parents could not tell them apart. The case was continued until to-day, when both brothers appeared. The pair walked around the court room with witnesses, attorneys, court officers and others examining them like live stock at fairs. Roth wore striped percale shirts, checked suits and derby hats. Both had sharp noses, recoiling foreheads and chins, both had moles cn their right cheeks and defective left eyes. When no one could identify the prisoner Judge Ore 37; dismissed the case.

A TfilCKY DE3I0CRAT
How a Shrewd Ohioan Secured Appointment as Postmaster. Senator Brice Led Into a Fretty FfchtCongressmen Who Think Public Office Is a Private Snap. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. C There is a lively fight waging over the confirmation of the nomination of Wallace to be postmaster at Springfield, O. The contest Involves a principle which ambitious Iloosier Democrats would do well to boar in mind. The incumbent Is a Itepublican whose term does not expire for some time. Wallace, the nominee, is a smooth young Democrat who knows a trick or two In the matter of federal appointments. Recently he Induced the Itepublican postmaster to write out his resignation and j-end It to the Postmastergeneral. Just ahead of the resignation there went to the Postmaster-general Wallace's application for the position. It made no reference to any vacancy or resignation, but was accompanied by a few good Democratic Indorsements. No one appears to have known of the resignation except Wallace and the postmaster. Then Wallace came here and told Senator Price that a vacancy oxisUd in the postmastershlp at SprinfjfUld. in a Itepublican city and district, and immediate action was urged. Senator Brice went to the Postoffice Department ar.d called up the case. When he found the resignation and only Wallace's application and indorsements, he congratulated himself over the simplicity of the situation. He had been fearing a hot contut. Tnere was but orue thing to do. He recommended Wallace, and the nomination promptly went to the Senate. The news or the resignation and the nomination coming simultaneously struck rfpringlield Democrats like a thunderbolt. They tired in protests against the nomination, holding that it was a trick, a conspiracy. Senator Brlce's surprise can only be imagined. The protests became so numerous and vigorous that the Senator was compelled to have the nomination held up. The only objection to the nominee Is that he is young, and secured tne nomination by a trick. He' Is here now, .cronipanled by ex-Mayor Bui--nett and Colonel Zimmerman, lighting It out. There is an opposition delegation headed by the Hon. John H. Thomas, and the fur has begun to iiy quite lively over the affair. IX COMitlESS FOU SPOILS. How ZVntlonnl Iiegrl.sIntor.H Tnke Care of TheiiiMel ve.M and Famtllex. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Jan. C Members of Congress are sometimes sly dogs. 'TIs a very cold day when they get left. The rloe plums on the top of the tree generally fall into their laps. One of these days there will be a resolution offered, however, which may compel the House to act In such a way as to disclose the bags which hold the luscious fruit which has been picked by public servants. It is not generally known, but It is a palpable truth, that a majority of the men who have served In Congress during the past twelve or fifteen years have had appointed to the Annapolis Naval or the West Tolnt .Military Academy their son, if sons they had, and if not, then some other relatives of the male persuasion. When Senator John A. Logan had a son appointed to West Point attention was called to the abuse of this patronage, and when that son was permitted to resign from the academy for some "offense a threat was made that a law should be passed prohibiting the appointment of sons of men in Congress to either Annapolis or West Tolnt. There Is a prominent Democratic member of the House who Is cogitating upon this problem at present, and he thinks he will Initiate it by calling for the rosters of the naval and military academies for the past decade or so, so that there may be compiled a statement showing Just how many sons or relatives of men In Congress have been given these places which belong to the districts or State of the Representatives and Senators who dictate the appointments. A law prohibiting nepotism of thl3 character would no doubt be pleasing to tho country at large. A bill making such a proposition would prove embarrassing to those who would act upon It, but there are few who would have the nerve to oppose it. Another sly practice of Congressmen Is about to be punctured. Under a law passed by the last Congress each member of the Hcuse Is allowed 5100 a month while Congress is In session for clerk hire. He has orly to certify to the clerk of the House or the disbursing officer that he has expended so much for clerk hire durinpr the month, not exceeding 1100, and the officer immediately hands over to him the amount In cash. It was a strange way to phrase the law, and there is much astonishment expressed over It now. Had the provision for clerks been the same as for other employes in Congress the disreputable practice of making small expenditures and pocketing the margin would not be charged against members. Other employes, like clerks to Senators, are paid by the disbursing officer, are sworn in and borne upon the rolls, so that there can be no mistake as to who get3 the money and the amount paid for the services. It has been discovered that under the present arrangement many members of the House? are doing their own clerical work and certifying for the full amount, $100 monthly, and quietly dropping the "chink" into their pockets. Others aire stenographers or typewriters for from J?.0 to a month, and. after certifying that they have expended $10u for clerk hire, apply the margin upon their private expenses. A resolution calling upon members for a statement of their expenditures under the law for clerk hire, and naming those to whom they have paid the money, would prove embarrassing. It might show that many of them havo paid the money to themselves, their wives, daughters, sons or mothers. It is likely that tne law will be modified so as to require the beneficiary to be borne upon the pay rolls. gi'ai;di.g tiii: president. Extraordinary EfTort.i to Insure Mr. CIovflaud'M 1'erMonal Safety. Washington Special In Pittsburg Dispatch. Recent threatening letters addressed to President Cleveland and other persons In official life In Washington have led to increase! pruJence in the White House. At no time yi.ico. r.ot even during the war, have so many watchful eyes b?en constantv ly on the alert for tne President's personal safety as now. It does not necessarily folio a- that th dangers surrounding, or supposed to be surrounding, Mr. Cleveland's person have correspondingly increased, or that the watchfulness is proportioned to ascertained reasons for it. But these are facts and they are for reasons of some sort. "I have it on authority that is sufficient for me." remarked a member of Congrcs3 of ten years' standing, "that no person, servant or other, goes into the White House doors leading to or from the domestic part of the establishment without some one, whose duty it Is to know, Is convinced that no concealed cause of danger is about his or her person. Of late," said he, "these precautions have increased." Mr. Cleveland Is seldom seen alone ten rods from the White House, and then, he is seen only In the rear cf the house; and it is understood by those wed informed that even then the watchful eyes of tho guards whose appointed uuty it is to eee no harm comes mm are constantly on the lookout. Only when the President is driven rapidly to and from tne railroad station is he seen on" Pennsylvania avenue, wnere nearly everybody tise at times Is seen. It Is the retort or ait Vashing:cn. though pehaps not as much at present, as formerly. It Is the great drive cf persons who drive at all. But Mr. Cleveland. either driving or walking, save as he is compelled to urive to and from the railroad station, is never seen there. When at Woodley, the sut urban residence of the President's family, precautions were taken as if there was positive knowledge of impending personal peril. These, of course, were an little knowij to the public as i os.ibie, and it Is probable? few persjns only ever suspected anything extraordinary in this -.me. Nor is it believed there have been ar.y extraordinary precautions necessary, hince the advent of cranks of late there may have existed reason for or leaeons fancied, but not as to Mr. Cleveland more than to other citizens full In the public ?ye. The member of Congress who has been quoted said it was hl3 opinion that Mr.

PETTIS DRY Cleveland was the reverse of a man of personal courage, though he was essentially a detector: by nature. Reasoning from this conclusion, he said. It was not difficult to account for the 'extraordinary precautions for 'his personal safety as a suggestion proceeding from himself. Only last week when the President. Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury took a trip down the Potomac on an alleged duck hunting expedition, but which was anything else but that, Mr. Cleveland stole out of the White House by' the back way, where always are persons stationed to so? no harm comes to his person. It was an incident which hrs not left a favorable impression on the public mind. When a few days before he had occasion to to New York, all the secrecy that would accord with perilous times was observed. A rumor was ret afloat that put the public on another expectation, and in the morning when quite another trip was foretold In the papers, he was found to have reached New York a-ccompanled by the Secretary of War, who Is usually with him when the mysterious attends his movements. Tr.es? things are no great secret to per son3'Whoce opportunities are favorable to knowing them. While, doubtless, the state of the times, the development of crankage and the unexampled number of Idle persons in this land, are conditions favorable to desperation, and when the prevalent opinion is this condition Is owing in a no considerable degree to Uie policy of the administration, there Is, nevertheless, no reason for the cowardice manifested by the President. There 13 an idea abroad that he could not do better than to live like other men and show himself to the people and act as it becomes a 'President passing his days in the most orderly, peaceful city In the land. THE PENSION AGENCY. Colonel Owen, of Xew Harmony, Urtrcd for the PoHlllon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Representative Taylor Is not only confident of securing the appointment of Captain Zinzlch, of Evansvllle, to the position of supervising inspector of steamboats within the next ten days, but he believes now that he may bag the State pension agency. As stated by your correspondent last night, objection has arisen to the appointment of Martin Van Buren Spencer, of Fort Wayne, on account of an alleged shortage in his military service. It is held that the traditions of the office demand a military service of three years, whereas It ls contended that Spencer served less than one year. Representative Taylor has seen an opening in this contest and has presented the name of Colonel Owen, of New Harmony, who It Is claimed, served gallantly during the late war for a period of nearly four years. It is reported that Colonel Owen's merits are such that he will be selected if for any reason it 13 decided to deprive the Fort Wayne district of the oliicc. The arrival of Senator Turpie appears to have reopened the contest, and for the moment relegated the concession of the office to Representative McNagny. TUB CASH DWINDLING. Condition of the Treasury llecomin i Source of Concern. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Secretary Carlisle is watching the constantly dwindling available cash balance In the treasury and Is giving it much careful consideration. It Is said that by personal talks with the members of the ways and means committee of the House and the finance committee of tho Senate, he Is bringing the subject before them with a vtew of showing the necessity for some prompt action for the relief of the treasury. The great falling off In the gold reserve is a particular source of concern to the ctllclals, and the proioct or its decrease to a much greater extent emphasizes, the officials say, the absolute necessity for some measure that will replenish it. A number of figures of Interest in connection with the present condition of fiscal affairs are being collected for the ue cf the Secretary. The rumors that the Secretary contemplated sending a special messake to Congress, calling attention to the treasury's condition, and recommending lmmllate measures of relief, are again being revived, but a prominent official of the department suggested that the Secretary had already presented the matter very fully and thoroughly in his annual report to Congress.

New York, has played sad havoc with the gold reserve, which, to-day, is $73,181,901, a reduction of $5,709,689 since the beginning of, the month. The Treasury Department's figures place the net available balance tody at $01,97,093, as compared with $90,373,33 at the beginning of the month. Of the former amount, $10,215,192 is the net currency balance In which, however. Is included the interest checks already paid and not yet settled. Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee, says concerning the reports that he and his associates are preparing to meet the government deficiency by a bond bill: "There will be no consideration of the bond question until the tariff Is out of the way, and that from present indications will be a considerable time ahead. The condition of the treasury is fully appreciated, but the tariff question must be met first. The committee has not given the slightest attention to the matter of bonds, nor have I personally given two minutes to the subject. In due time, with the tariff out of the way, the question of bonds or other means of meeting the deficiency will be very seriously considered, but we have not taken even the first step on the subject yet." Representative Harter introduced a bill to-day giving authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds whenever he considered it necessary In order to main tain a proper reserve or to provide funds for the payment of any debt dus or about to become due. The bond3 are to bear 3 per cent. Interest and are to run for thirty years, with the provision that the United States may elect to pay them at any time one year after their issuance. Mr. Harter says that his bill is not the result of any talk with Secretary Carlisle or any other administration official, and that it merely covers his individual views. . An Attorney' Charge. .WASHINGTON, Jan. C J. Hale Sypher, a congressional attorney of this city, created something of a stir In the House naval committee room to-day by accusing members of the committee of being on the committee to aid contractors for warships In securing large premiums. He had started on an argument favoring adoption of a resolution In which it was charged that these premiums were obtained by collusion between contractors and government 'officers, when a member interrupted him an 1 called attention to testimony on the sub-, ject. He thereupon retorted with his statement against the personnel of the committee. Defore the matter could go further. Chairman Cummings read a letter handed him yesterday by Mr. Charles H. Cramp, the well-known ship builder, which, it is alleged, Mr. Sypher wrote. The letter inclosed clippings and said the matter of premiums was likely to be investigated at this session of Congress. Fired I'pon ly M Intake. WASHINGTON. Jan. 6. The Navy Department received the following cablegram to-day from San Domingo: "The insurrection has been put down at Azua, San Domingo. Everything is quiet. United States interests not endangered. The United States schooner was fired upon owing to a mistake. Two men were wounded. Particulars have been sent by mall. Proceed for coal to St. Thomas. Will return very soon. IinYKUMAN." Heyerman is the commander of the United States steamer Kearsarge. The American schooner IL F. Crosby was fired upon by soldiers at San Domingo, a short time ago. The message to the Navy Department Indicates that the firing was the result of a mistake.
