When the Democratic Enquirer of Cincinnati and the Democratic Courier-Journal of Louisville are against the Wilson bill for different reasons It is evident that the Democratic confusion is very great. A Washington dispatch says "It is learned definitely that the President is giving personal attention to the Brazilian question." Great Scott! Are we to have a Brazilian policy of the Cleveland type? The fact that the Senate committee has reported against the confirmation of Mr. Hornblower for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court would indicate that one David B. Hill is getting in his work upon the favorites of the President. The Sentinel, which has been shouting one of the twenty-year-old questions of the free-traders to the Journal the past week as if it had not been answered thousands of times, should read the real free-trade speech of Henry Watterson. A decision of the case involving' the constitutionality of the fee and salary law Is exp?cted shortly. If the law is Invalid the people should know it as soon as possible in order that proper steps may be taken to secure the enactment of one that shall b free from objection of a constitutional character. In his Inaugural address, delivered yesterday, Governor McKinley referred in feeling and appropriate terms to the present industrial stagnation and the duty of all who are able to assist those who are in need of aid. The subject was treated in a sympathetic manner and without the slightest tinge of partisanship. The President and the Speaker of the House have Joined hands to force the passage of the Wilson bill. Executive patronage and the party whip are to be used without stint. Under the false pretense of a tariff reform against which the whole country is protesting- Congress is to be bribed and bullied into passing this measure. The Wilson bill makes a material reduction in the duty on flax and flax products. An American correspondent of the Irish Textile Journal, discussing the effect of the reduction, says: "There will be many changes in the bill before its final passage, but it is ten to one the linen goods items will not be reviewed, and the tombstone may now be set over the grave of the American linen industry." If Mr. Cleveland had contented himself with withdrawing the Hawaiian annexation treaty from the Senate and recalling Min ister Stevens his action would not have b?en severely censured, though it might have caused temporary criticism. But he and Secretary Gresham were so determined to put the Harrison administration "in a hole" and so infatuated with the fantastic Idea of "righting a wrong." that they could not refrain from exploiting their policy. A fine mess they have madei of It. According to the New York Herald's Washington correspondent, fifty-nine Democrats of tne 216 are opposed to the income tax, and 117 Republicans of the 12G. If the 117 Republicans could be counted to vott against putting the internal revenue proposition into the Wilson bill, they, with the fifty-nine Democrats, couM keep it out. While the Republicans have not decided what course they will take, many are of opinion that it is better to let the Democrats load down their tariff bill if they Choose. Chairman Springer, of the House commit tee on currency, allows no opportunity to scape to call public attention to his cur rency bill, which provides a new sort of paper money, based upon municipal bonds reM by State banks. Chairman Springer is mistaken in assuming that his bill would put more money into circulation. The em ployment of labor and the starting of busi-

ness are necessary to bring that about. As there is about $125,000,000 more money than there was a year ago, when business was active, and there was no complaint then, it is fair to assume that there Is enough now if it could be got Into circulation. Mr. Springer should invent a collateral to be supplied to those who have no money and want it. Good collateral in abundance

would bring out the money in quantities which would prove that it la adequate to the business of the country. TUB VOICE OF WATT Ell SO. V. Tn the judgment of the Journal the views and conclusions of Mr. Henry Watterson, expressed in his speech before the Watter son Club last night, are erroneous. They are, however, the views of a man who has the courage of his convictions, and conse quently he arrays himself against the policy of his party. He assails the Wilson bill as a makeshift and expresses contempt for the little men of his party who, while they sup port such a hybrid measure, mouth bis epi thets of '"baron robber." Mr. Watterson says that never was act more deliberate in a national convention than the substitution of the Neal plank for the Vilas plank In re gard to the tariff by the last national Dem ocratic convention. He is right. Every del egate knew what he was voting for. Even the Indiana delegation, parting itself in the middle, showed its natural Instinct to shirk responsibility. But, by a decided vote, the convention adopted the Neal proposition, an out and out free trade declaration. Thence forth it was the Democratic doctrine. Mr. Watterson stands upon It. He Is for a tariff for revenue only. He would begin with su gar, and follow with coffee and tea and other articles not produced in this country. Aside from a dozen articles, he would im pose no duty upon imports. All else would be on the free list. That would be the free trade for which three-fifths of the national Democratic convention declared. How many Democrats are for that riatform to day? How many in Congress? The man who cannot stand with Mr. Watterson does not stand on the Democratic platform. As a matter of fact, those who agree fully with Mr. Watterson constitute a small part of the Democratic party. WHAT TIIE SAILOR SAID. The only item of news that has been ob tained thus far from any person connected with the revenue cutter Corwin has come from a common sailor, and it was conveyed in very picturesque language. Acting, no doubt, under orders from Washington, the officers of the Corwin have been preserving strict silence. Nobody has been allowed to board the cutter or to hold communication with anybody on board, and If an officer went ashore it was with strict orders not to breathe a word about Hawaii. Once, however, an enterprising reporter got near enough to the cutter to hail a sailor who stood near the rail and ask him for the latest news from Honolulu. The reply came swift and hot, "Hell's a-poppin down there!" Doubtless the sailor would have told more, but he was Instantly ordered below, and has not been heard from since. Perhaps he was put in irons, or maybe he will be tried for treason. It Is to be re gretted that he was not permitted to amplify his statement. In. the form in which It stands, although picturesque, it is vague. It might mean that the great volcano Mauna Loa was in a state of eruption, or that fighting was going on in the streets of Honolulu. Evidently it meant that something of a very stirring character has been going on "down there." When a com mon sailor says "Hell's a-poppin'" he means something out of the ordinary. Just what was meant in this case will be known very soon. Ordering the sailor below will not result in a permanent suppression of the news. His brief but graphic communi cation will bo elucidated in a few days, and then the American people will know what this anti-American administration is trying to conceal. TIIE REDUCTION OP SALARIES. The reduction of salaries in DePauw TTniverslty is but another straw to show the effects of the political change in this country. It has not been many years ago that nearly all professors in DePauw and kin. dred universities were Republicans and nrm Denevers in principles that did then, and would now if in effect, tend to build up the industries of the country. Rut of late years there has been a change here, as in many other universities, it has been a matter of surprise that college men, to a preponderating extent, have become free traders, many of them Prohibitionists, and in some cases they have pone bodily to ' the Populist party. They have a perfect right to make these changes. It cannot be contradicted, but it is In the line of natural events that mistakes invariably come back home. Thus comments the Greencastle BannerTimes. Of the cause of the falling off of the revenues of colleges, there will be a difference of opinion; but for years, under Republican rule, while a Republican Sen ate held the former Cleveland regime in check, there was no intimation of a reduction of college salaries. What has happened at DePauw has happened at Harvard. The man for whom DePauw is named was one of the ablest the State ever knew. He built up great Industries and, under protection, he made the money which he bestowed upon the college. But for protection he would not have built up the plate glass industry In Indiana and in the country generally, which helped him to acquire the money which went to endow DePauw. The building up of the industry gave employment to thousands, added hundreds of thousands to the taxable property of the country, and reduced the price of plate glass 0) to 63 per cent. These facts the professor refused to recognize, but, instead, became the blind follower of the a priori theorists of Great Britain and Professors Perry and Sumner in this country, and taught and voted free trade. Probably with DePauw, as with Harvard, the freetrade shadow has blighted dividend-paying stocks which have been good all the years that protection was behind the industries In which the corporations were embarked which Issued the stocks. Manufacturers and business men who made money under protection donated the stocks to the college, as. doubtless, did the late Mr. De Pauw. If the Wilson bill becomes a law and the Industries are transferred to Europe, the stocks of these manufacturing corporations will never be worth what they have been. Again, scores of. publicspirited men have pledged money year by

year to colleges. They are men whose business Is sustained by the industries of the country, which the fear of the Wilson bill has palsied. These public-spirited men cannot meet their pledges now. Men who could give hundreds a year ago cannot give tens now, and the reason Is found in the smokeless chimneys of factories. The proprietor! of the two largest woolen mills in Camden, N. J., have announced their intention to shut down their mills Indefinitely. Lack of orders, due to hard times and business depression, and the tariff uncertainty and fear of the consequences that will follow the passage of the Wilson bill, are given as the reason for closing the mills. The proprietor of one ot the mills said to a reporter: "We are running our mm now with less than half the usual force. We are simply clearing up odds and ends of work, and when they are finished the mills will shut down. There are no orders to keep them running and no goods can be manufactured for stock, because we cannot tell what price we shall be able to obtain fcr them if the Wilson bill is passed. The trouble Is all due to the tariff question. Last year these mills ran full time, and with large forces. The workmen in them were all well paid and were prosperous. Look at them to-day. Even if they could be kept running, there would be the great reduction of wages that must come as soon as the tariff bill is passed staring them in the face. I can't tell you what the reduction will be, but our workmen will have to come down to the level of the English workmen. Take one branch of the business, for Instance. The English pay wool sorters about 17.50 in our money a week. Our sorters here get all the way from $12 a week to $13 a week.' The reduction in the tariff under the Wilson bill lets In English goods, and there is no help for us if we could save our market. Wages must come down. That is the only Item In the cost of manufacture that can be cut." The proprietor of the other mill talked the same way. He said if the Wilson bill passed the men in his mill would have to submit to a reduction in their wages ot from 35 to 40 per cent, if the mill were to be kept running at all. It was the only possible way in which he could compete with foreign cheap labor. Both mills will close before the end of the month

The question with the Democrats is whether the income-tax bill shall be made a part of the tariff bill or made a separate measure. Democrats who are opposed to the tax, and violently opposed, desire to keep It out of the bill. The Southern and Western Democrats, who are much in favor of the tax, feel that it has no chance if separated from the Wilson bill. If a vote of Democrats determines the status of the tax it will be added to the bill. It is possible, however, that some device will be hit upon to prevent a direct vote upon the proposition eo far as making it a part of the tariff bill is concerned. In a dispatch to the State Department, under date of Nov. 11, Minister Willis said: Fortunately the men at the head of the provisional government are acknowledged by all sides to be of the highest Integrity and public spirit, which, combined with the large material Interest they represent, will, It is hoped, cause them to stand firmly and successfully for peace and good government. Yet the administration policy from the beginning has been framed on the theory that these men are political adventurers, corrupt schemers and dark-lar.tern conspirators against the peace and welfare of the community where they live. Paramount Cleveland to his head .clerkIn charge of the State Department: "Gresham, did you file thosa Hawaiian dispatches that came this morning as I told you to?" "Yes, Mr. President." "Are they under lock and key?" "Yes. sir." "Did you make a denial of the news that came by way of Auckland?" "Yes, I assured the reporters that it could not possibly be true, and was doubt--less Invented to embarrass your administration." "Have you cautioned everybody about the department to maintain strict silence?" "Yes, and told them If anybody was found talking he would be dismissed." "Is there much criticism of my policy in the newspapers of to-day?" "No more than there has been. It is the same old rigmarole, Mr. President: nothing but newspaper talk, and you cannot afford to pay any attention to that." "You are right, Gresham. I shall construe the Constitution my own way without regard to public clamor. Now go back to the State Department and tell the Infernal newspaper men that there Is noth- , Ing to give out not a thing." There was a so-called statesman 4 And he was wondrous sly, ( He jumped into a policy That left him high and dry; And when he found where he was at. With all his might and main.

TALK OF BLOODSHED

I Startling Report of the Condition of Affairs in Honolulu. Secretary Gresham Forced to Make a Statement that He Has Xo Alarming News from Hawaii. AFFAIRS STILL MYSTERIOUS Interesting Sparring in the Senate on Hoar's Resolution. Finally Goes Over to the Committee on Foreign Affairs Mohican Has Her Orders. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Congress was thrown into a fever of excitement this afternoon by a report, said to have leaked out at the State Department, to the effect that the revenue cutter Corwin, which arrived in the harbor of San Francisco on last Friday, had really brought war news from Hawaii. The alleged news said to havo been suppressed by the authorities here was to the effect that after Minister Willis had secured amnesty from the dethroned Queen for the rev'olutlonists'and demanded the resignation of the officers of the provisional government, he landed troops and a battle followed In which several lives were lost. That Willis had been given his passports and was probably now on the Corwin, the actions of which vessel have been suspicious ever since she arrived in the harbor of San Francisco. It will be remembered that immediately upon arrival and landing of dispatches for the Department of State she steamed out to sea, where she anchored and all communication between her and the land was refused. There have been many strange actions on the part of the President and Secretary Gresham during the past two days and nights which served to give credence to these reports. Their continuous conferences at the White House were reported in these dispatches last night. The rumors and the consequent excitement led men in Congress to express themselves more freely on the Hawaiian situation than under ordinary circumstances. Democrats who have been making bold to defend the administration Immediately pulled in their horns and were mum. In the face of such astounding reports they became cowards. Talk of impeachment proceedings against Grower Cleveland and Walter Q. Gresham was heard on every hand. There was not a Democrat to be found who would attempt to offer any excuse or apology or defense for the reported action of the administration and Minister Willis. No one believed that the authority could find any indorsement in Congress. It seemed to be unanimous opinion that no one who had any political hope would attempt to apologize for such action, and tnat even though Under such circumstances Impeachment proceedings were voted down In the House or repelled in the Senate they would destroy the responsible party. It is stated that the President and Secretary Gresham have hardly slept for three days and nights while conferring on the Hawaiian situation. Secretary Grenuums Denial. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. For the first time since the arrival of the Corwin at San Francisco and the recent alarming reports from Honolulu Secretary of State Gresham submitted to an interview to-night on the Hawaiian situation. He talked with great earnestness and his replies to the various questions addressed to him consisted almost wholly of denials. He said if there were any trouble at Honolulu neither the President nor the State Department knew anything about it He denied the report that the department had received any dispatches from the Corwin, but stated that dispatches by the regular course of the mails were expected from Minister Willis on Wednesday of this week. "And whatever dispatches are received at that tlme,"sald the Secretary, "will be sent to Congress at once." Secretary Gresham stated that neither the President nor the State Department knew anvthlng about the Corwin being anchored off San Fran--cisco, and that if it were there it was not by any order of the executive or the Department of State. Regarding the reports that Minister Willis or the Queen were on board of the Corwin, Secretary Gresham pronounced them fabrications. The Corwin being a revenue cutter is under the control of the Treasury Department, and any dispatches that may have been sent by Captain Munger would therefore naturally go to Secretary Carlisle. A rumor gained circulation at the Capitol to-day that troops had been landed at Honolulu, and there had been riot and bloodshed. It can be staled on the highest authority that the Corwin brought no such news from Hon-, olulu. Minister Willis gave notice pending the reception of the answer to his notified that the Queen refused to accede to conditions, that he would allow no vio lent outbreak on either side. Under the late Instructions sent him by the Corwin. It is doubtful if he would feel authorized to land troops except in the event of hostilities between parties on shore that would endanger the safety of Americans. The State Department maintained a strict reticence on Hawaiian affairs to-day. The rumor that Minister Willis had received his passports, has every appearance of being made out of whole cloth. President Dole undoubtedly would seek to avoid any act of hostility toward the United States government. It is also felt at the State Department that Minister Willis must have made his demand upon President Dole with an explicit foreknowledge that It would be without result and would be a mere formal following out of the letter of his orders. HOAR STIRS VP TIIE SEXATE. Ills Resolution Striken Fear to the Hearts of Administration Friends. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The Hawaiian controversy waxes warmer from day to day in the United States Senate. Nearly a score of resolutions have already been introduced on the subject, but the end is not yet in sight; and after more than an hour's sharp discussion to-day the Senate adjourned with the promise of prolonged dlsslon on the Frye resolution on Wednesday and a possibility of Mr. Turple's resolution to-day presented being called up to-morrow. Senator Hoar succeeded In accentuating with practical certainty the fact that Commissioner Blount was paid from the secret fund of the State Department, this being substantially admitted by the Democrats. Senator Frye made an Ineffectual effort to secure a vote on his resolution declaring for nonintervention by this government In Hawaiian affairs, but there were strong objections and it went over until Wednesday, when Mr. Davis, of Minnesota, will speak on the subject. Senator Turpie, of Indiana, presented a resolution alleging the inexpediency of annexing Hawaii to the United States, but declaring that the interference of foreign governments with that country' should be regarded as hostile to this country, and he will probably submit some remarks on the matter In a. tew days. Senator Chandler introduced a resolution directing the committee on Judiciary to "Inquire and report to the Senate their opinion as to the cases in which the President may constitutionally send to foreign countries agents, representatives or commissioners without the advice or consent of the Senate, and whether or not there was constitutional authority for the appointment In March, last, without the advice and consent of the Senate, of the Hon. James H. Blount Jts commissioner to the Hawaiian Islands with the power conferred on him by the letter of appointment and such other authorities as were given to him. He asked its immediate consideration, but Senator Gorman objected. HOAR'S RESOLUTION. The chair laid before the Senate the resolution of Senator Hoar, Introduced last week, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury to rport the amount of money which has been ;'- .r?j II, Blount, and from

what fund and by what authority. "I move ; to refer the resolution to the committee on j

roreign affairs," sail Senator Gorman. "This ia merely an inquiry as to how much money wa3 paid for certain purposes," said Senator Hoar. "It Is very extraordinary," said Senator Gorman, "to Inquire cs to the expenditure from a fund that has been placed at the disposal of the Department of State in the nature Itself of a secret fund." "Does the Senator understand," queried I senator lioar, "that this money has been paid from the secret fund?" "I take it for granted that it has." "That is merely what I want to know by the resolution." "I assume that It Is," reiterated Senator Gorman. "In every' administration. Congress, without the slightest hesitation, p aced at the disposal of the President a sufficient amount of money to conduct the business of the Department of State, and he has expended it without further inquiry." Mr. Hoar I only ask that what has been expended by the President as a secret service shall be stated to the Senate. "What object do you have in asking this Information" inquired Senator Gray, of Delaware. "I want to know," replied Senator Hoar, "and I want the Senate to know, and I want the country to know whether this gentleman, whose mission was conferred on him without the consent or advice of the Senate, was treated In all respects as a public officer of the United States." "The Senator from Massachusetts should know," said Mr. Gorman, "that there is not any expenditure made by the administration that the Democratic party is not content to have the greatest publicity given it. But the Senator from Massachusetts knows very well that the compensation paid this commissioner could not be paid f rc-m any other fund than the secret fund. Like some matters, such as a public treaty, it Is a matter which should be kept within the State Department." "Has the Senator any reason to believe that this was a secret expenditure?" inquired Mr. Hoar, "for that is all I wanted to knowi" Mr. Gorman I have no more knowledge of It than the Senator himself. Mr. Hoar Does the Senator believe (with emphasis) that it was a secret transaction? Mr. Gorman I have never known a case where agents of this sort were employ ea that they were compensated in any other way than from this fund. There is no other way to do it. NEW INTEREST DEVELOPED. A deeper interest wa suddenly developed when Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, arose to participate in the discussion. "I think," said the Senator with great deliberation, "that in dealfng with this question the Senate should be consistent with Itself. The Senate has referred to the committee on foreign relations an Inquiry of a very broad character. It Includes the whole subject of irregularities, if any have occurred. In the conduct of our diplomatic and other affairs with Hawaii. The committee on foreign relations must necessarily ascertain in its pending investigation whether the President of the United States had authority to send Mr. Blount to Hawaii, and whether he had authority tc commission him to the extent that he did commission him. and whether It was regular or irregular. That necessarily carries with it the question of the regularity of his appointment. I therefore think that this resolution is quite unnecessary-" "After the explanation of the chairman of the committee on foreign relations," said Mr. Hoar, blandly and promptly, "that this is within the scope of the committee I consent that the resolution go there." "If that is to be the construction in this matter." said Senator Vest, of Missouri, "I shall vote against the reference. I do not think this Senate has any power whatever to ask the President of the United States as to the amount of the expenditure from the secret-service fund or the purpose for which he has expended it. The Senator from Massachusetts is constantly attacking the administration. We know the object of this resolution." Without further debate the question referring the resolution was put to a viva vote, and by practical unanimity it was referred to the committee on foreign relations. Senator Turpie, of Indiana, presented a resolution having reference to Hawaii. The resolution went over under the rules. Senator Frye, of Maine, called up his resolution of last week and askea unanimous consent that a vote be taken on this resolution. Immediately there were several objections from the Democratic side, and a disposition was also manifest to also refer this resolution to the committee on foreign rslatlons. It was finally permitted to go over till Wednesday. After a short executive session the Senate adjourned at 2:50 p. m. MOIIICAX HAS HER ORDERS. All Preparations to Start at Once, bat Her Destination Yet Unknown. VALLEJO, Cal., Jan. 8. This afternoon orders were given to Commander Clark, of the United States steamer Mohican, to make all needed preparations on board his ship for sea. Shortly afterwards the Mohican reported ready, and the navy yard tug steamed alongside, taking the Mohican In tow, towing her out in midstream, where she was moored to one of the buoys. All liberty has been stopped, and those on shore leave have been ordered to return on board. Fires are banked and the steam kept up. ready to ship the mooring chain on a moment's notice. Considerable anxiety continues among naval officers regarding the Hawajlan situation, and fears are expressed that trouble has occurred. This opinion has gained credence to-day from reticence on the part of the Washington officials. Capt. H. C. Cochran. U. S. M. C, recently detached from marine barracks. Mare Island, will leave on the next steamer touching Honolulu to take command of the marine guards on board the ilagship Philadelphia, now at Honolulu. OUR WATER BASINS. Work of the Last Geological Survey That Will Interest Scientists. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The investigation of water resources of the United States undertaken by the Geological Survey has be:n practically completed. The work was commenced In October, 1S89, with the object of determining the quantity of water available for irrigation of the arid lands of the West or for use as water power. The most active field work was carried on in 18S9-1890, and studies have been made of most of the drainage basins west of the one hundredth meridian as well as several of the "catchments" of the East. The scientists devote a large part of the time in examining the "run-offs" of the Missouri, Arkansas, Rio Grande and Snake rivers. "It does not appear probable," says Geologist F. Newell, "that even as high as 10 per cent, of the land now owned by the government can ever be irrigated. In fact there is not a sufficient supply of water to bring under cultivation an area equal to that which has passed into the hands or individuals and corporations. There are, however, localities whers thousands of acres can be profitably Irrigated by the construction of dams and irrigating canals." BAPTISTS AND CHRISTIANS. Report from Denver that the Two Denominations Will Unite. DENVER, Col.. Jan. S. The Denver Times to-day says that Dr.- Kerr B. Tupper, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of this city, created a sensation In the weekly meeting of the Baptist ministers of this city, this morning, by announcing his belief that, in the near future, there would be an organized union of the Baptist and Christian churches, under the name of the latter; that he was now In communication with prominent members of both denominations on the subject and that a part of his contemplated trip to the East, which will occur very shortly. Is to confer with them in the matter. AN OHIO CHIME. Three Revolting: Murders Committed by Robbers Near Marietta. MARIETTA, O., Jan. 8.

EKIIOK SOjIEWIIER

Latest from Honolulu by the Can adian Steamer Warrimoos. Text of Minister Willis's Demand for President Dole to Give Up His OfficeThe Queen's Position. (Copyrighted. 1S9 1, by the Associated Press.) HONOLULU, Jan. 1. 1894. via Victoria, IL C, Jan. 8. Since the Palling of the United States revenue cutter Corwin. at 3:50 a. m., on the morning of Dec. 24. no advices havi left here for the coast. That vessel tool: press dispatches against the orders of th United States legation, but It is doubtful if all of them are landed, as It Is understoodl a strict watch will be placed on the vessel as soon as she arrives near the harbor, and that she will likely be ordered at once on a cruise. Application was made jto forward Associated Prefs dispatches, but this wai brusquely refused and dispatches were only put aboard afterwards through th courtesy of those who shall forever be nameless even though the United States should endeavor to investigate tl e matter. The Corin took the demand to Minister Wfllls on the provisional government to step down. President Dole asking and obtaining permission to have a stenographer present at the interview. After diplomatically referring to the unavoidable delay in considering the Hawaiian case and further declaring that its Icons deration had been, from the beginning:, absolutely free from prejudice and resentment and entirely consistent with long established friendship and treaty ties, which have so closely bound together the respective governments. Minister Willis said: "The President deemed it his duty to withdraw from the Senate the treaty of annexation which had been signed by the Secretary of Ctate and agents of your gov-' ernment, and to dispatch a trusty representative to Hawaii to impartially investigate the causes of your revolution and to ascertain and report the true situation In these Islands. This information was needed the better to enable the President to discharge a delicate and important duty. On the facts embodied In Mr. Blount's report the President has arrived at certain conclusions and determined on a certain course of action which it becomes my duty to acquaint you with. "The provisional government was not established by the Hawaiian people nor with their consent or t acquit sence, nor has it since existed , with their consent. The Queen refused to surrendrr her powers to the provisional government until convinced that the minister of the United States had recognized it as the de facto authority and would support and defend it with the mil itary force or the United states, and tnat resistence would precipitate a bloody conflict with that force. She was advised and assured by her ministers and leaders of th movement for the overthrew of her government that if she surrendered under protest her case would afterwards be fairly considered by the President of the United States. "The Queen finally i?lded to the armed forces of the United States then quartered in Honolulu, relying on the good faith and honor of the President, when informed of what had occurred, to undo the action of the minister and reinstate her and the authority which she claimed as the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian islands. After a patient examination of Mr. Blount's reports, the President Is satisfied that the movement against the Queen, if not Instigated, was encouraged and supported by the representatives of this government at Honolulu. "They promis-M In advance to aid her enemies in an effort to overthrow the Hawaiian government and set up by force a new government In Its place, and that he kept this promise by causing a detachment of troops to be landed from the Boston on the ICth of January, 1893, and by recognizing the provisional government the next day, when it was too feeble to defend itself and the constitutional government was about to be successfully maintained against any threatening force, other than that of the United States already landed. "The President has, therefore, determined that he will net send back to the Senate for Its action thereon the treaty which he withdrew." Minister Willis then said he was Instructed by the President to inform tha Queen of this determination. He said, the President felt -that by original interference the United States had Incurred a responsibility to the whole Hawaiian community, and that .it would not le Just to put one party at the mercy of the other He sal 1 the President had instructed him to inform the Queen that she must grant amnesty to all participating In the movement against her. This he had done and had her reply which he then read to President Dole. In her letter the Queen sal 1: "I, Liliuokalanl. do hereby solemnly declare that, if reinstated as the con-stit'J-tlonal sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands, I will immediately proclaim and declare unconditionally and without reservation to every person who directly or indirectly participated in the revolution of Jan, 17, 1S33. a full pardon and amnesty." "i furtnermore solemnly agree to accept the restoration under- the constitution existing at the time of said revolution and pledge myself, if restored, to assume all the obligations created by the provisional government." Minister Willis then said: "It becomes my further duty to advise you, sir, the executive of the provisional government, and your ministers, of. the President's determination of the question which your action . and that of the Queen devolved on him, and that you are expected to promptly relinquish to her her constitutional authority. And now, Mr. President and gentlemen of the provisional government, with a deep and solemn sense of the gravity of the situation, and with the earnest hope that your answer will be inspired by that high patriotIsm which forgets all self-interest, in the name and by the authority of the United States of America, I submit -to you the question: Are you willing to abide by the decision of the President?" President Dole The government will take the matter under consideration and answer you as soon as they ore ready. Mr. Willis Yes, sir. Gentlemen, good day. Tito Queen' Scheme. NEW YORK. Jan. 8.
