WASHINGTON'. D. C. Nov JO A letter of Secretary Oresham to the president dated the 18th ultimn concerning Hawaiian affairs has been given out for publication. In it he takes the ground that the marines landed from the United States ft.-amer Boston at the time of the revolution were not landed to protect American life and property, but to aid in overthrowing the existing government. Their presence, he aid, implies coercive measures against it. The provisional government was established by the action of the American minister and the troops landed from the Hosten, and its continued existence Is due to the belief of the Hawaiian Islands that if they made an effort to overthrow it, they would encounter the armed forces of the United States. The letter concludes as follow?: "The earnest appeals to the American minister for military protection by the officers of the provisional government after it had been organized shows its utter absurdity of the claim that it was established by a successful revolution of the people. These appeals- were a confession by the men who made them of their weakness and timidity. Courageous men, conscious jf strength and justice of their cause do not thus act. It Is not now claimed that a majority of the people who ha the right to vote under the constitution of 1SS7 ever favored the existing authority, or annexation to this or any other country. They earnestly desire that the government of their choice shall be restored and its independence respected. "Mr. Hlount states that while at Honolulu he did not moot a Fir.gle annexationist who expressed willingness to submit the question to a vote cf the people-, nor did he talk with one on that subject who did nt insist that if the Islands were annexed suffrage should 1? to restricted as to give complete control to foreigners or whites, and representative annexationists have repeatedly made similar statements to the undersigned. The government of Hawaii surrendered i's authority under a threat f war until such time only as the government of the United States, upon the fact being presented to It, should reinstate the constitutional sovereign and the provisional government was created. To exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been negotiated upon." "A careful consideration of the facts will, I think, convince you that the treaty which was withdrawn from the senate for further consideration should nt be resubmitted for ts action thereon. Should not the great wrong done to a feeble, but independent state, by an abuse of the authority of the United States be undone by restoring the legitimate government? Anything short of that will not. I respectfully submit, satisfy the demands of justice. Can the United States consistently insist that other nations shall respect the independence of Hawaii, while not rerpecting it themrelves? "Our government was the first to recognize the independence of the islands and should be the last to acquire sovereignty over them by force and fraud. "Respect fully submitted. "W. Q. ÜIIESHAM." TF.XT OF TUG LETTE It. Secretary- (irmham'i Review of tbe Hawaiian Matter. After the cabinet meeting today the following letter was given out for publication by Secretary Gresham, which he had previously addressed to the president: "DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 18, 1S3J. "To the President: "The full and Impartial reports submitted by the Hon. James 11. mount, your special commissioner to the Hawaiian islands, established the following facts: "Queen Liliuokalani announced her intention on Saturday, Jan. 14. 1SU3, to proclaim a new constitution, but the opposition of her ministers and others induced her to speedily change her purpose and make public announcement of the fact. At a meeting in Honolulu late on the afternoon of that day a so-called committee of public safety, consisting of thirteen men, being all or nearly all present, and a majority of whom, including five Americans, were aliens, was appointed 'to consider the situation an J devise ways and means for the maintenance of the public peace and the protection of life and pi-operty. This committee met on the 15th or the forenoon jf the ICth and resolved, among other things, that a provisional government be created to exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been negotiated and agreed upon.' At a mass meeting, composed largely of aliens, which assembled at 2 p. m. on the last named day, the queen and her supporters were condemned and denounced and the committee was continued arid all Us acts approved. "Later the same afternoon the committee addressed a letter to John L. Steven?, the American minister at Honolulu, stating that the lives and property of the people were in peril and appealing to him and the United States forces at his command for assistance. This communication concluded: 'We are unable to protect oureelves without aid, and. therefore, hope for the protection of the United States forces. ' "On receipt of this letter Mr. Stevens requested C'apt. Wiltse, commander of the United States steamer Boston, to land a force 'for the protection of the United States legation. United States consulate, and to secure the safety of American life and property The wellarmed troops were promptly landed and marched through the quiet streets of Honolulu, with two Oatllng guns, to a public hall previously secured by Mr. Stevens for their accommodation. This hall waa Just across the street from the government building and In plain viw of the queen's palace. The reason for thus locating the military will presently appear. The governor of the island Immediately addressed to Mr. Stevens a communication pro te akin

against the act as an unwarranted invasion of Hawaiian soil ind reminding him that the proper authorities had never denied permission to the naval forces of the United States to land for drill or any other proper purpose. "About the .same time the queen's minister of foreign affairs sent a note to Mr. Stevens asking why the troops had been landed, and informing him that the. proper authorities were able and willing to afford full protection to the American legation and all Amer can interests in Honolulu. Only evasi.'e replies were sent to these communications. "While there were no maifestations of excitement or alarm In the city and the people were ignorant of the contemplated movement, the committee entered the government building after first ascertaining that it was unguarded, and one of their number, a citizen of the United States, read a proclamation declaring that the existing government was overthrown and a provisional government established in its place, "to exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been negotiated and agreed upon.' "No audience was present when the proclamation was read, but during the reading forty or fifty men, some of them indifferently armed, entered the room. The executive and advisory councils mentioned in the proclamation, at once addressed. a communication to Mr. Stevens, informing him that the monarchy had been abrogated and a provisional government established. This communication concluded: "Such provisional government has been proclaimed, is now in possession of the government department buildings, the archives and the treasury, and is in control of the city. We hereby request that you will, on behalf of the United States of America, recognize it as the existing de facto government of the Hawaiian Islands and afford to it the moral support of your government, and. If necessary, the support of American troops to assist in preserving the public peace. "On receipt of this letter Mr. Stevens immediately recognized the new government and. in a note addressed to Sanford Ii. Dole, its president, informed him that he had done so. Mr. Dole replied: "GOVERNM ENT BUILDIXtt. "HONOLULU, Jan. 17, 1S93 "His Excellency, John L. Stevens, United States Minister Resident: "Sir I acknowledged receipt of your valued communication of this day, recognizing the Hawaiian provisional government and express deep appreciation of the same. We have conferred with the ministers of the late government and have mane demand upon the marshal to surrender the station house. We are not actually yet in possession of the station house, but as night Is approaching and our forces may be insufficient to maintain order, we request the Immediate support of the United States forces and would request that the commander of the Un'ted States forces take command of our military forces so that they may act together for the protection of the citv. Respectfully yours, "SANFOUD II. DOLE. "Chairman Executive Committee." "The station house was occupied by a well armed force under the command of a resolute, capable officer. The same afternoon the queen, her ministers, representatives of the provisional government and others held a conference at the palace. Refusing to recognize the new authority or surrender to it, sh" was informed that the rovlsional government had the support of the American minister, and. if necessary, wo'.dd be maintained by the military force of the United States then present; that any demonstration on her part would precipitate a conflict with that force; that she could not. with hope of success, engage In war with the United States, and that resistance would result in a useless sacrifice of life. Mr. Damon, one of the chi'-f lenders of th movement and afterward vice-president fo the provisional government, informed the queen that she could surrender under protest and her case would be considered later at Washington. Tlie Queen Irotot. re'IieviiiT that imd-r the circumstances subm'ssion was a duty and that her case would be fairly considered by the president of the United States, the queen finally yielded and sent to the provisional government the paper, which reads: "I, Liliuokalani, by the grace of Ood and under the constitution of the Hawaiian kingdom, queen, do hereby solemnly protest nfrainst any and ail acts done against myself and the constitutional government of the Hawaiian kingdom by certain persons claiming to have established a provisional government of and for this kingdom. "That I yield to the superior force of the Unite! States of America, whose minister p.enlpotentlary, his excellency, John L. Stevens, has caused United States troops to be landed at Honolulu and declared that he would support the provisional government. "Now, to avoid any collision of armed forces and ierhaps the loss of Iif?, I do, under this protest and impelled by said force, yield my authority until such time as the government of the United States shall, upon the facts belns presented to it, undo the auction of its representative and reinstate me and the authority which I claim as the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands." When this paper was prepared at the conclusion of the conference and signed by the queen and her ministers a number of persons, including one or more representative of the provisional government, who were still present and understood Its contents, by their silence at least acquiesced to its statements, and when it was carried to President Dole he indorsed upon it, "Received from the hands of the late cabinet this 17th day of January, 1S93," without chal-

Indeed, it was not claimed on the 17th day of January or for some time thereafter by any of the designated officers of the provisional government or any annexationist that the queen surrendered otherwise than as stated in her protest. Snyn It Means Bloodshed. Prof. W. C. Alexander, surveyor-general of the Hawaiian islands, is in the city. Frof. Alexander is American born, a graduate of Yale college and a man of gnat intelligence. In response to queries this evening, he said to an Associated Pres reorter: "This a great blow to us. If this policy is carried out it means the bankruptcy and ruin of the islands. If an attempt Is made to restore Queen Liliuokalani bloodshed will result. I doubt If the que?n herself would live to sit again upon the throne. The people who established the provisional government in the islands were the same who secured the constituion of 18S7 which was acquiesced in by Kalakua. "There was danger of disorder at that time and Secretary Bayard, President Cleveland's former secretary of state, was very viperous in his intsructions to Mr. Morrill, the United States minister to Hawaii, that the rights and interests of Americans must be preserved and that he was at liberty to call on United States armed forces to secure this. It was this constitution of ls7 which Liliuokalani sought to overthrow and to establish one which would make only natives eligible to the upper house of the legislature and which would deny to white men the right to vote. "The revolution of last Januars was the result. The United States recognized the new government; luts received its minister, has accredited a minister to it and has granted exequateurs to its consuls. How can It interfere with that government, seek to depose it and set up anotlnr In its place? We come asking the United States government to annex the islands. They reply that it is not in aecord with the principles of the government to interfere in the affairs of another country and they seek to overthrow one government which the people of the inlands have establish! d and set up another." WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. Kxpresslons of opinion by public men now in Washington upon the letter of Secretary (Jresham regarding the Hawaiian affairs are varied and numerous. Some emphatically approve the sentiment expressed i:i the already famous epistle and oihiis denom-ce it with great vehemence. Aside from those who fcave radical views there are many politician and pulili" officials who from modesty or courtesy o;- policy refuse to talk upon the question at ail. Senators and representative.: of this class say that when the mntt'T appears In due form before ronjrc- ll:-.;- will then declare thenipelves. Whether the majority of Washington's-ofl-.c -ho! Vrs favor ti:o st".nl taken by S. rt:.:y Ciictoliajn or whether they oppose it every one of them is discussing the matter. Every one. In fact, is wnlti'm for further developments. Senator Morgan, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, Is not at well pleased at the turn affairs have t-iken in the Hawaiian situation. It was at a banquet given in honor of Secretary Carlisle by the United States senators before the inauguration and shortly after the provision with the provisional government had ben sent to the senate by President Harrison that Senator Morgan made a peo h, in which he condemned the action and expressed hopes of great things for the United States government in its new acquisition, which at that time sefmed as g.od as made. He was then on the eve of his departure to Paris as one of the Hering sea arbitrators. He expressed the hope that when he rereturned the Hawaiian matter would be settled and the American flag would be Hooting over a most valuable acquisition. Today he said that this government could not restore the itien. The administration had now recognized the provisional government and accredited its representatives and it could not restore the former condition. Mr. Morgan said he had his views on the ouestion, but it was not for a senator and member of the committee on foreign relations to say anything about the action the government had taken or the course it would pursue in the future. t'LKM WACKKIILY AHHKSTRD. C'nptiire of Another of the Ollplinnt Train Robber. LITTLE ROCK, Nov. 7. Clem Wackerly, one of the Oliphant train robbers, was shot and wounded here this evening about 7 o'clock in the sitting-room of the depot. Ha was suspected this evening by lis curious movements. Shfriff Wilson was notified and organized a posse to help arrest him. The sheriff questioned him and Wackerly gave his name away in the conversation to the sheriff before any attempt was made to arrest him. During the conversation he had a forty-five Colt's pistol in his hands, and when the sheriff commanded him to surrender he said he would not, and while the sheriff was trying to get him to surrender he made a move to shoot, when Parker shot him. inflicting a serious but not fatal wound. In thirty minutes after he was captured a posse from near Batesville arrived and Identified him as Clem Wackerly and said that they had been on his trail for a day. Clem is a country youth about nineteen jesrs old and handsome, and was recently convicted of a minor offense and placed in the county jail. i.vNtiiEii a M:t;no.

How Itepulnlie Is bad breath, and yet how many otherwise attractive, p.. lite and particular pxple afflict their friends with the foul odor of their breath. If there was no remedy for this It mifrht excite our sympathy, but as there Is no need of havJn? a foul breath It is an unpardonable breaeh of pood manners to obtrude such an offense on good society. Foul breath arises from disordered digestion, which can be corrected by using1 Sulphur Bitters, and the result will be a pure, sweet breath.

DEMOCRACY'S PLAIN DUTY.

EX-SECHETARY WHITNEY SAYS TIIK TARIFF MIST II K REFORMED. He Declares That the Voting Resulted In u Hem oer tic liefen t nut -Not o. Republican Trlaniph The I'artjr Maat Redeem Its riedges. NEW TOUK. Nov. 12. The World will tomorrow print a letter from exSecretary of the Navy Whitney giving his views of the recent elections. He says: "Last Tuesday's voting was, in my opinion, negative, not positive. The result was a democratic defeat but not a republican triumph. The people had no intention of rescinding their emphatic and well-considered repudiation of vicious republican policies. They could not, however, refrain from and cannot be blamed for expressing their dissatisfaction with existing conditions, so they voted against the party in power. "It is true that the democratic power was not responsible for the conditions, but they existed nevertheless. The party to suffer was necessarily the party in power. It had had no opportunity to put in force a new policy and show the beneficial effect, but discontent from whatever cause is visited naturally upon the party In power. The check in view should be, and I believe will be, beneficial in result. After such a period of distrust as we have just experienced the stability and conditions of trade are the first essential of a return to prosperity. Congress owes it to the country not only to reform the tariff but to reform it at once in a conservative and capable spirit. And at once redemption of all party pledges is necessary. Hut quick redemption of this greatest of party pledges Is more than necessary, more than sound policy, more than wise partisanship. It is a patriotic duty. In accordance with the speed and wisdom with which this duty will be discharged will. In my view, be the future of the democratic party." Mil. OITIIWAITK AM) TIIK TARIFr. He Snyn Tltnt the Democratic Policy A 111 He Carried Out. COLUMBUS, O.. Nov. 11. Mr. Outhwalte, member of congress from this district, being asked what effect will the results of the election have upon the tariff legislation, said: "They will, no doubt, have some influence upon members when they come to consider the details of the bill, but the tariff will be revised In the direction of the pledges of the democratic party. Of course the conditions of the business of the countrry will be carefully considered by con. gress while framing such legislation." Mr. Outhwaite says it would Ik? giving the big republican majorities a wrong significance to say that the people who voted for a reduction of the tariff last fall have changed their minds. He attributed the result in this stat to dissatisfaction, as claimed, of soldiers with the pension department, disgust over the neglect of the administration to promptly change fedral officers a,nd the delay of the senate to act on the silver purchasing clause. Many of the material Increases of the McKinley bill will bo reduced. Some of them will be wiped out entirely and even a less duty placed. Wool und some of the raw materials will be placed on the free list. i Of course the uncertainty a.s to what I kind of tariff, or how much of a cut ' in the rates of duty there is to be. will affect business somewhat, but hundreds of the manufatturles that were closed four months ago have resumed operations. The sooner some revision is made the better It will be for the people." Frlngetl Nnpery. Very pretty napery is sold which has a frlnfe for SL finish.
