as a primary requirement recorded In the recorder's office of such county: and euch record, or a. certified copy thereof, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters and. things therein recited, and that from the time of filing of such articles in the proper recorder's ofHce, such association shall in all leg-il tespects be held to be a corporation with all the powers and privileges Incident thereto. The Secretary' Power. "'By the provisions of a statute approved March 9. ISM (acta 1S91. p. 32). all ueh corporations, thereafter organized, are required to file with the secretary of state certified copies or duplicates of their articles of association. The secretary is not required to record them or to keep a record wherein such copies or duplicates shall be recorded, but his duty ends when such certified copies or duplications are filed with him In hi3 office, and the proper fee therefor Is paid fur such filing- The fact that the law requires such association?" to file certified copies rr duplicates of their articles with the secretary of state, and that the state exacts a fee therefor, does not confer upon that officer discretionary power. to revise or reject such copies or duplicates for .my real or Imaginary reason. His duties in such matters are purely ministerial and when Puch documents are placed in his hands and the statutory fees for filing paid or tendered his connection with the matter ends. The articles may not be in proper form, but the secretary of state cannot reject them for that reason; they may omit to show that the corporation has divided It; property into shares or etat the value of the property to be operated by such corporation, et 111 the secretary of state has no power to reciuin a division of its property into shares or a statement of the value of the property to be owned, controlled or operated by It. Such statements are purely discretionary with the association. Tne secretary may believe that such corporation is organized under a false pretensi and that its promoters Intend to engage In some unlawful business as snjn as they put their corporate enterprise on its feet; but yet he cannot sit ir. judgment, and. because be bHIevfs that the concern is surrounded with surpicion. refuse to file a propny certified copy or duplicate of the articles which had already ben Tied and recorded in the recorder's office t f the proper county. such a power would be judicial; th power to hear and determine a controversy between the cüiicens of the täte and to decide such controversy. The secretary of state Is not a Judicial oilicer. and In p.atters of filing certified copies or duplicates cf articles of association of corporations and collecting the proper fee for such service, he .lets simply in a ministerial capacity and is dive.-ted of all discretionary powers. In such cases it is the duty of the secretary of state 1o file the papers when presented and demand and restive th statutory fee therefor, leaving all other matters to be settled by the courts, rvhere they belong. In principle, this Identical question was settled by the supreme court In Smith vs. Xyers (Pi Ind. 1,), wherein the court held that the secretary of state was simply the custodian of ' lection returns charged with a duty in relation to them which the statute enjoined lipon him. There his duty was as custodian, to kep and deliver the returns to the speaker of the hous. Here the duty re.juiyed of the secretary is to file the papers and keep uc'tody of them and nothing more. The court said: 'Nothing that the secretary can do can give validity to the. papers if they have r.one by force cf law. and nothing he can do can deprive them of validity if under the law they are valid.' "Suppose that suit had been brought to enjoin th secretary from filing the papers in juestlon. does anybody believe that a court of eouity would have taken cognizance of the case and prevented him from accepting1 and filing them as the law expressly provides he thall do? Certainly not. The seeretary being the custodian of the certified copy of the articles of association, directed bylaw to receive and file it and to tax a certain fee therefor. Is stripped of all discrf tioi.ary power in relation to it, its form or substance or the purposes for which the association is brought Into being. Tie is ;; ioverkss to decide what the articles shall contain, or whether tne purpose of organization Is lawful or not as the county recorder, in whose ofl'oe the articles must first be fled, atid the secretary's powers are no preat-:- In receiving and filing the article.7 than the recorder's is in receiving and recording them. The duties of both are fixed by the statute, and when Its requirements have leen complied with their power over the whole subject end. Giltst Accept Hie Articles. "The Uoby athbtie dub of Lake county, Indiana, as you have stated to me In your communication, filed in your office a duplicate of its articles of association and tendered' the proper fee. it therefor becomes your duty to accept, file and keep said document in your ffi -e. leaving all controversies as to the legality of the corporation to be determined by the courts, which alone have jurisdiction of such questions.

"Notwithstanding the opinion of the a ttomey-general I am confident, though no lawyer, that a secretary of state is vested with certain discretionary powers for the protection of the state's interests. It is certainly the spirit of the law that he should have and Mr. Myers will not even now issue to the club article of incorporation if he will be, as In the past, advised by me, and I think be will. "The law of was passed for the purpose of making the office of secretary of state a source of revenue to the state, and whn a body of men come before him with a lie upon their lips and boldly attempt a flagrant vlo'ation of the law to the detriment of the state's interests, that official is certainly In duty bound to act In accordance with his obligations. It's so apparent. Here Is a body of men who claim to have a capital of but $1.200 with whlcn they Intend to control property of which there 13 visible several thousands of dollars' worth.

The unspeakable horror of the disaster at Merrill station this morning, by which seven strong men met death in its most terrible form, and from which a number of others bear burns and injuries that will fear and cripple them to their graves if they recover, has shadowed the Heaver valley with gloom and sorrow. The scene of the awful occurrence Is on thft Cleveland & Pittsburg road near the new government dam on the Ohio river, now building. The building destroyed was 84 by 40 feet, with twenty-five sleeping1 rooms. In It were the telegraph office, postoffice and a store. The proprietors were Frank J.

The hotel was full I last night, the lodgers all being men emi ployed on the construction of the dam. i Aecording to the statement of men who were aroused In time to escape it was just forty minutes from the time the alarm was given at about 4:i0 until it had collapse-d and was simply a pile of embers. There were thirty-five men sleeping on the second and third floors, and as the fire started under the stairway below the only escape for those not suffocated by the rolling volume of dense smoke that surged Into every nook and cranny was leaping from the upper windows.

A Belief That the- I nlte.l States May Yet Establish a Protectorate Over the Inland- How the Hawaiian Press It-RHrU the Subject The DelrRiitlnn nt Washington. Silent on the Subject. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 23. The steamship Alameda from Sidney and Auckland via Honolulu arrived in port before 9 this morning bringing news that nothing of special importance had transpired at the Hawaiian islands since the Australia left there nearly a week before. The arrival of the Alameda had been anxiously awaited and preparations had been made to secure promptly any news which she mlarht brinj?. The copyright letter of the Associated Pre: was received at 8 and placed on the Western Unin wires at once for transmission East. It was an hour or two later before any passengers on the steamer could be seen in order to obtain from them personal accounts of affairs at Honolulu. Besides the Associated Press letter the steamer also brought copies of an extra edition of the Honolulu CommercialAdvertiser published Just before the steamer left Honolulu, which contained a dispatch dated Washington, Nov. 2, and received in Honolulu by way of Auckland, stating that President Cleveland was preparing a message to congress in favor of the restoration of the monarchy in Hawaii. Interviews with prominent persons of Honolulu indicate that there was a general disbelief In the correctness of the dispatch, but it was also noticeable that according to the majority of statements it was evident that such a policy on the part of the United States could not be carried out without protest if not resistance from the provisional government. The Alameda brought only ten cabin passengers from Honolulu and there were no prominent persons among them. The majority were ladies returning from pleasure trips. The Hawaiian newspapers have very little editorial comment on the political situation on the islands. The royalist paper, the Bulletin, in commenting on the recent events says: "There is one thing as clear as the sun in the present situation. The Unted States distinctly repudiates the pretended right of the provisional government of the Hawaiian islands to offer this country to the United States." To this the Hawaiian Star replies as follows: "The United States have made no reply whatever as yet to the annexation proposal. Should they do so in a negative way it could not bo because they had questioned the authority of a government, the valid status of which they had repeatedly and fully recognized. It would simply be because they did not want the islands." KVK.MS IN' Tili: ISLANDS. Mlnlnler 'VillI's Aliened Speech Cannes Some Snrprine. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23. Copyright 1'J3 by the Associated Press. Honolulu, Nov. 16. The main change in the political situation since the Australia sailed has been one of Increased strain and greater business depression. Since his formal call to present his credentials Minister Willis has not communicated officially with the government. The most significant happening which has taken place occurred last Monday when a committee of the American league, the lately organized auxiliary of the Annexation club, called on the new minister. After welcoming Mr. Willis the committee stated that the members of the league earnestly doslred that the Hawaiian Islands should become part of the United States and with that object in view the organization would support the present provisional government of Ilawall and In all honorabla ways aid in accomplishing annexation. The address also contained an offer of aid If, at any time, the minister saw fit to command them. Minister Willis's answer has not yet leaked out here, as the committee Is pledged to secr'cy, but the Associated Press Is enabled, after dilif-ent inquiry and careful comparison of the versions of the minister's remarks as remembered by three members of the committee, to give the following nearly, if not quite, verbatim report of the reply: liiiiaier WllliM'n HcinarkK. After welcoming the committee and speaking in pleasant terms of his visit to Hawaii, Minister Willis said: "I am an ardent American. I would like to see the stars and stripes waving not only over Hawaii, but over all the islands of the Pacific ocean, or any other territory which would be beneficial to the United States. I have my instructions, which I cannot divulge. You will understand this. But this much I can say, rtiat the policy of the United States is already formulated regarding these islands and that nothing which can be said or done, either here or there, can avail anything now. I do not come here as did Mr. Blount. I come as an executive officer. I come to act. When the proper time arrives I shall act. I am sorry I can't tell you when or how. I wish you to understand, however, that knowing the policy of the United States I could not have accepted the position of executive officer had It been In conflict with the principles I hold. Americans here will have nothing to regret. While performing my duty in carrying out the United States' policy I shall have no need of aid from you -or other resident Americans. However, I wish to state positively that any outside interference will not be tolerated by the United States." The provisional government considers Minister Willis's remarks as significant, and from other Information obtained. It is the general belief among Americans that a United States protectorate will be shortly established over the provisional government with the understanding that a staple form of government be organized thereunder within a limited period. Some are of the opinion that action will be taken between the sailing Monowal on the 23d Inst. This opinion '

has been expressed on board the United States steamer Fhiladelphia. within the last few days. Itumor Are Rife. Minister Willis's delay In action, coupled with his refusal to divulge or even hint at, officially, what the policy of the United States is to be, has caused the political strain to become very great on both sides. As a consequence rumors are thick. The government has also In consequence been on the lookout for the past few days for the threatened attempt of the royalists to seize the executive buildinc: under the theory that if they could hold it now the United States would support them as the existing government. Some of the leading royalists deny that any such attempt has been contemplated, though others remain silent when questioned. In consequence of the strained condition of affairs an extra guard of sharp-shooters was stationed in the executive building last night and,-will be continued there with the regular troops until the matter is settled one way or the other. As a further precaution the povernment issued thirty rounds of extra ammunition to each member of the citizens' reserve guard between dark and 12 o'clock last night. Two cabinet meetings were held yesterday to consider the situation. At the first were present, beside the cabinet, several members of the advisory council together with Col. J. II. Soper of the military and Marshal Hitchcock of the police department. At 11 o'clock this morning President Dole made a visit to the United States ship Philadelphia and was received with the national salute of twenty-one guns. At 11:30 he returned and was accorded thd usual salute. The Queen Calls. Last Monday morning the ex-queen somewhat unexpectedly called upon Minister Willis at the United States legation. She was accompanied by her former chamberlain. She remained at the legation about twenty minutes. Minister Willis has not yet returned the call. The ex-queen's action created much unfavorable comment It surprised the royalists as well as the annexationists. This afternoon the minister of finance will submit a statement at the regular session of the council which will show that the favorable condition of the finances of the government continues. The statement will show that the cash surplus in the treasury stands at $135.850.73 and that the total amount cf bonds sold to date, under the loan act, is $167,000. This will allow the government to carry out all the appropriations authorized under section 2 of the appropriation bill for which no provision had been made, and will leave a balance of JSGH.89 on hand beside the cash Burplus The minister of finance states that all the current expenses of the government tn Nov. 1 have been ordered paid, and that under the present favorable conditions he soon expects to largely Increase the surplus cash in the treasury. It has been learned from official sources that the reason of Admiral Skerritt's recall from this station "was because he personally attended a ball given by the annexation club to the officers of the United States steamer Boston as a farewell and to the officers of the United States steamer Philadelphia as a welcome. Admiral Irwin was officially received at the executive building on Saturday, Nov. 11, at 1:30 p. m. with military honors. Upon the arrival and departure of the party the government band played American national airs. Agitation for the removal of the roya lifts' office will probably rest in abeyance until something definite is heard from Minister Willis. .Minister "Willi' Den in I. The Associated Press correspondent has just had an interview with Minister Willis. He declares that the first part of the reply he made to the American league should be qualified to read: "He would like to ee the stars and stripes waving over," etc., "under proper conditions." He declares he never said, "the result here would be such as Americans would not regret." and added that nothing would be done, nor would any action be taken until he apain heard from Washington after the Alameda left. He said this at 2:?.0. The steamer sails at 3 p. m. His last words to the Associated Press reporter were that any trouble precipitated on either side would be stopped at once by the United States forces. As Vletved by the Press. The Honolulu Commercial Advertiser published the following in an extra edition on Thursday, Nov. 16. the. day the Alameda sailed for San Francisco: "Extra, 10:30 A. M. President Cleveland proposes to restore the monarchy. Our press having been delayed until late this morning waiting for the Alameda's arrival from Auckland and Sydney and the. edition having been printed without the expected news. ".Ve hasten to give in an extra the more important items received by her. As President Cleveland can act In the Hawaiian matter only by the authority of congress. It remains to be seen how far congress will sustain him In the proposed restoration of the monarchy. As the teleprram comes via London, it may not be strictly correct, but we give it as received. The following Is clipped from the New Zealand Herald of Nov. 4, with Washington dates of Nov. 2, or five days later than our news that we have received here : "WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. President Cleveland is drafting a message to congress in favor of restoring the monarchy in Hawaii." When the attention of Minister Willis was called to the above dispatch from Washington, he declined to express an opinion. It is the belief here that the dispatch 13 unfounded. At the last moment the provisional frovernmont declares It has no further information, but Is certain It will be able to maintain the peace.

SECRKTAIir GHF.XHAM HAS DOl DTS Does Not Believe Minister Willis Wan Correctly Reported. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. It has been largely a day of speculation at the capital regarding the situation at Hawaii. It was definitely stated long before the arrival of the Alameda that the administration did not expect to learn on that steamer that Minister Willis had taken any action. It was not expected either that ny information would reach the Islands concerning the Intention of the administration. It seems therefore that the report which came by way of New Zealand that President Cleveland had determined to restore the queen was a surprise to the administration. The manner In which Minister Willis had been performing his mission only adds more mystery to the situation. It is evident, however, it was not his intention or the intention of the administration to give any information to the Ilawailans of the intention of the president until Willis was ready to act. There has been a theory, which at the state department is said to be rather visionary, that It would be the policy of Mr. Willis to allow the tension to become so great that the supporters of the queen would organize and establish her as a government and that before there could be a clash between thfe queen's supporters and forces of the provisional government, but upon demonstrations being made, the marines from the Philadelphia would be landed for the purpose of protecting American life and property, and when the queen had accumulated sufficient strength to warrant It, he would recognize her. This view Is taken to be that a repetition of the action of Minister Stevens as near as possible Is to be the course of Minister Willis. What Willis Mar Do. There is also speculation to the effect that Minister Willis will be anxious to act before tha arrival of the steamer

which will give definite information concerning the action of the administration. These theories and speculations are indulged In all the more because up to 5:30 this afternoon it was denied at the state department that . Minister Willis had made any communication to the department on the steamer Alameda, It was believed, however, that some official Information was received, the nature of which It was not possible to obtain. The information contained in the Associated Press dispatches of the precautions which the provisional .government was taking against being surprised and the determination which the members seem to have that royalists shall - not again succeed to power, has given the friends of the government much hope that the queen can never be restored. The dispatches today seem to indicate to the officials cf the administration, what they have heretofore asserted, that the provisional government still stands because It feels that it Is backed by the moral support of the United States and thus far its acta have been approved by this government. This is asserted to be the case because the dispatches say that members of the provisional government do not credit the report by way of New Zealand that President Cleveland intends to restore Queen Lil. At the same time It was plainly evident that the armed resistance to the royalists which the provisional government was making gave the officials of the administration no little concern. Secretary Gresham Intervlevr. There was a notable lack of the excitement which characterized the arrival of news from Hawaii by the Australia last week in the reception cf the news by the Alameda today. There was an abundance of Interest, but Secretary Gresham was content to hear the news without rushing over to consult with the president In regard to it. The copyright letter from Honolulu was read to him by an Associated Press representative in the diplomatic room of the state department. At the portion where Minister Willis Is reported to have said he should be glad to see the American flag over Hawaii and every other island In the Pacific the secretary said: "I don't believe that." Even as subsequently modified by Mr. Willis with the additional clause, "under proper conditions." the secretary said the minister may have been incorrectly reported. "Mr. Willis is a capable man," he said. "He ought not to have talked on that subject at all, and I don't believe he did." - Upon the reading of the statement that Admiral Skerrett had been recalled for attending a ball given by the Annexation club, Mr. Gresham said: "Abüurd." The statement contained In the letter received in San Francisco from a private correspundent in Honolulu that the provisional government was under arms all night preceding the departure of the Alameda, attracted the secretary's special interest. "If that was true," he said. "It is not likely that your correspondent would have failed to know of It In his letter. I think there are many inaccurate statements in the letter. You will find that the report that Mnister Willis made any such speech as that is a. mistake." Ke-rardinff the assertion that Minister Willis had said that he would do nothing after the Alameda left Honolulu until he heard from the state department further he declined to say anything. The statement reported as coming from the Philadelphia that some action was to be taken during the week following the departure of the Alameda is regarded as significant, tallying as it does with the well defined rumor circulated in Washington on Tuesday that the queen had been restored on that day. MinUtcr Thnrxfon Silent. At the Hawaiian legation. Minister Thurston was glad to read the letter of the Associated Press, but said he had nothing to say on the news that was reported. The strain of the uncertainty that has surrounded them for two weeks now is beginning to tell on those attached to the legralion Their doors are always open to all who call. The pressure upon them for Information has been constant, and thoiiRh men of strong physique, their ap',earance begins to how that they have borne burdens. W. H. Armstrong was looked to by callers to voice the opinion of friends of the provisional government on the news by the Alajneda. It was unexpected and RTateful news, he said, to hear that the provisional government was already aware of Mr. Cleveland's Intention to restore the monarchy and were still standing firm and were prepared to defend themselves. Of course, the news had not reached them that there was a wldesjread expression of public sentiment for them in the United States. This can only have reached them today by the Warimos from Vancouver. Hut the friends of the provisional government feel that every delay that brings nearer the time when the provisional 'government shall receive news of the reception accorded by the public co Secretary Gresham's letter gives added assurance that the plan to restore the ex-queen will be frustrated. For this reason the news of the past week in Honolulu will be looked for with, special Interest. l-nnslng of the Steamers. The earliest date at which this news can reach the outside world by ordinary channels Is Dec. 7. The Warimos is due in Honolulu today and will steam from there on to Auckland, New Zealand, a two-weeks' trip. This would bring her to Auckland on Dec. 7, and tnere is a cable thence to Australia, and from there to India and around the world to the United States. The steamer Miowera was scheduled to arrive at Vancouver from Honolulu Dec. 9. - The Miowera is on the rocks at Honolulu, but it was Intended to secure a vessel to take her place. If this has been done news may be received at Vancouver Dec. 9. The steamer Australia coming back from Honolulu is due In San Francisco Dee. 16. The next will be the Mariposa, due In San Francisco Dec. 21. A steamer is due In San Francisco from China on Dec. 11. This line has been touching at Honolulu while the world's fair was in progress, but it is said that they will no longer touch at Honolulu. From this the opportunities of getting news of events at Honolulu in the near future will be understood. Mr. Castle Talks. Henry R. Castle of Honolulu Is in tho city. He was In Honolulu during the revolution last January, having been a member of the legislature. "Supposing," said Mr. Castle, "the provisional government should have been formed to laM until the crack of doom. Doom has not cracked, and so far as we know, will not crack there before, according to Secretary Gresham's- arguments, the government should end. "It 's astonishing to find that Mr. Blount, after months of study of the country and its institutions, believes that the constitution proposed by the queen last January only failed for the lack of assent of her cabinet. An amendment of the constitution requires to be carried through one legislature and to have a two-thirds ' majority in a succeeding legislature. The assent of the queen is not required at all." Cipher DUpateh from Wtllla. Secretary Gresham received a cipher message this afternoon from Minister Willis giving a complete report of the Hawaiian situation up to the time of tha departure of tho Alameda from Honolulu. The message was put on the wire at San Francisco as soon as It arrived there today and was delivered at the state department shortly after noon. Being In cipher, It required several hours to translate It and then It was at once taken to President Cleveland who read and discussed It with several members of the cabinet. As to the exact contents of the message no one outside of the president and his cabinet knows. It is a closely guarded state secret and will be held until

the president desires it to be made public. The fact that the message was received was given out, however, and It was also announced that its contents were highly satisfactory not only to President Cleveland but to Secretary Gresham and other members of the cabinet. Minister Willis, it is understood, has been carrying out his instructions to the letter and the results up to : the hour of departure of the Alameda , were just what the administratis had . anticipated they wouM be. ' This is interpreted by officials outside of the cabinet to mean that Minister Willis had completed all the arrangements In the restoration of Queen Lilioukalanl to the Hawaiian throne. It 13 also claimed by those close to the administration that should Minister Wil'is I continue to be as successful in carrying J out his instructions as he had ben up 1 to the day the Alameda sailed the vat majority of the American people will I take sides with the president and svsI tain him in the course that he has pur

sued when they become apprised cf all the facts. WASHINGTON', Nov. 23.-The fourth volume of papers accompanying- the Blount report was given out by the Btate department this afternoon, consisting of all the inclosures made by Mr. Blount in his dispatches and with his report from Honolulu. It is the testimony on which he bases his report. Numerous affidavits bearing on the events of the day the provisional government was proclaimed, go to show that Minister Stevens had recognized the provisional poverninent and troops had been landed from the Boston before the queen's forces under command of Marshal Wilson at the station house in Honolulu had surrendered to the provisional forces. The statement of Liliuokalanl addressed to Mr. Blbunt is of special interest and important. It is in relation to all the events of her reign. On Dec. 17. 1S!)2, she claims that she received a letter from a source she does not divulge warning her that the American representatives were at that time preparing for the annexation of the islands. She appealed to the British commander and he advised against her suggestion to lay the matter before all the members of the diplomatic corps. The Queen Statement. Of the events immediately leading up to the revolution she says: "The morning of the 14th of January, 189.1. arrived with all preparations for the closing of the legislature. At 10 a. m. I called a cabinet meeting for the purpose of apprising them of their position in the house and other preliminary instructions. I told them it was my intention to promulgate a new constitur tion. The cabinet had to meet the legislature and we adjourned. At 12 m. I prorogued the legislature. I noticed that the hall was not filled as at the opening. There were not many ladies present in the audience and I also noticed that several members of the legislature belonging to the reform party were not there. This looked ominous as of coming trouble. "On entering the place I sa.v,- Mr. Wilson at the entrance of the blue room. I went up to him and asked If all was ready. He replied. 'Yes.' Then I said: You will have to be brave today.' and I passed into the blue room and sat awaiting my ministers. A half hour passed and they did not come. After a little longer delay they arrived. I immediately judged from their countenances that something was wrong. I had a few days before planned that I would sign the constitution in the throne-room and in the presence of the members of the legislature, the majority of whom had been elected by the people for the purpose of working for a new constitution. "At the commencement of my reign petitions were sent from all parts of the kingdom asking for a new constitution. A month later I met two members of the legislature and started in to make up a new constitution from Kamehameha V and that of 1S87. After completing it I kept it until the month of October, when I placed it in the hands of Mr. A. P. Peterson and asked him to correct It and if he found any defects to strike them out and to put In such clauses a he thought would be good for the people and for the countryHe took it and kept it a whole month. To my knowledge he consulted many lawyers and others in regard to many points of interest in the deeument. When it was returned I looked it over and found no changes had betm made, so I concluded that it was all right. A week before the closing of the legislature I asked Mr. Peterson to make a preamble for my new constitution, but up to the day of probation he had not made one. "Early in January I men'ioned to Capt. Nowleln of the Household guards and Mr. Wilson, the marshal, my Intention to promulgate a new constitution and to prepare themselves to quell any riot or outbreak from the opposition. They assured me they would be ready, and I gave strict injunctions of secrecy and showed Mr. Wilson a plan of the throne room on the day of the signing. Mr. Parker and Mr. Cornwell had given me assurances of their support before their appointment as ministers, while Mr. Peterson understood that such was my Intention, and although I had not mentioned it to Mr. Colburn, he had heard of it already from Mr. Peterson. Colhnrn'n Act Sntd to lie Trnlloruu. "It appears that immediately on their learning of my intention Mr. Colburn, on the morning of the 14th of January, Immediately acted the part of a traitor by going to Hartwell, a lawyer, and informed him of my Intentions, and, of course, received instructions from him to advise me to abandon the idea. "This, then, was the cause of the delay and my long waiting in the blue room. The members of the diplomatic cots had been Invited: also members of the supreme bench and members of the legislature, besides a committee of the Hulkalalana. The latter were Invited to be present because it was through them that many petitions had been sent to me. When the ministers arrived I told them everything in the throne room was ready and the guests were awaiting our presence; that we must not keep them waiting. I was surprised when the cabinet informed me that they did not think it advisable for me to take such a step; that there was danger of an uprising, etc. I told them thai I would not have undertaken such a step if they had not encouraged me. They had led me to the edge of a precipice and were now leaving me to take the leap alone. It was humiliating. I said, 'Why not give the people the constitution, and I will bear the brunt of all the blame alterward?' Mr. Peterson said, 'We have not read the constitution.' " "I told him he had had it in his possession a whole month. The three ministers left Mr. Parker to try to dissuade me from my purpose, and In the meantime they all (Peterson, Cornwell and Colburn) went to the government building to inform Thurston and his party of the stand I took. Of course they were instructed not to yield. When they went over everything was peaceful and quiet and the guests awaiting patiently In the throne room. The ministers returned and I asked them to read the constitution over. At the end I asked them what they saw injurious in the document. Mr. Peterson said there were some points which he ' thought were not exactly suited. I told him the legislature could make the amendments. He begged that I should wait for two weeks, in the meantime they would be ready to present It to me. With these assurancts I yielded and adjourned to the throne room. I stated to the guests present my reasons of Inviting their presence. It was to promulgate a new constitution at the request of my people; that the constitution of 1SS7 was Imperfect and full of defects. Turning to the chief Justice I asked: 'Is It not so Mr. Justice?' and he answered In the affirmative in the presence of all the members assembled. l'rgre! to Keep the Peace. "I then informed the people assembled that under advice of my ministers I had yielded as they had promised that on

i some future day I could give them a new constitution. I then asked them to return to their homes and keep tha peace. I heard a commotion below in the yard, so I hurried to the front veranda mi from tiure I addressed th people, saying that tl.cir wishes for a I new constitution could not be granted just then, but would "rn" future day. j They must ?o fcom- and k.i the peace and pray for inc, which they have j done ever since. "There was a dinner prepared at which J forty persons sat down; everything was I orderly and without c-nfusvn in the ! palace and everything remained so all j night. At 11 a. rn.

The statement of the circumstances attending the yieldi?:g authority to the provisional government docs not differ from statements already made. After detallijip: the subsequent ap-als to tti government of the I'niicd States, she says: "President Harrison's tonn expired, and President Cleveland's inauguration took place, and 1 hailed i! as a good omen, having met him in 1"7 while he occupied the presidential chair that year, and I have n-d been disappointed. Your arrival In this t ur.try has brought relief to our people and your presence safety. There is no doubt but that the provisional government would have carried "'.t extreme measures toward myself and my people, as you have already seen ere this, by their unjust actions. If th president had been indifferent to my petitions I am certain It would have brought serious results to myself and tyranny to my subjects. In this I recognize the high sense of justice and honor in the person who is ruler of the Aiwrioan nation." NEWS OF THE WEEK. Fire at Newburn, Tcnn., caused a loss of 540,000.
