HAWAII AGAIN.

Willis and Dole Engage in Spicy ' Correspondence.

Substance of Their Letters, Which Have Been Transmitted in ¥aull: to the American Congress by Presi- ! dent . Cleveland.

WILLIS TO GRESHAM

- WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. President Cleyeland, in a brief note of transmittal,” bas “submitted to congress the latest cocrrespondence relating to Hawaii. -

The most important part of the correspondence consisted of a long letter from Minister Willis to Secretary Gresham, containing inclosures of correspondence between President Dole and himself. The letter, No. 201, to Secretary Gresham, says:

**On Wednesday, the 27th uitimo, at 12a. m. the steamship Oceanic arrived with newspapers containing the president's special in full, tO- - with the instructions to Mr. Blount and myself. The message was reproduced in the afternoon. papers with conspicuous headlines, At 4p. m. of the same day I received the fourpage, closely-written letters which I inclose, from Minister Dole, minister of foreign affairs, asking to -be informed, without the least - delay, ~ whether 'l. ‘held instructions ~to enforce your policy with the use of arms in any event. The information desired. although fully embodied in the president's message, might have been asked for, and, except for the remarkable statements contained in thé letter, would have Dbeen promptly and satisfacterily given in a few words, ¢

“Confident that the charges so surprisingly and unjusily made could not be sustained,-an answer herewith was on the following (Thursday) morning sent to President Dole asking that they be more direct and specific, ¢On Friddy morning, the 19th ultimo, T re ceived another leiter from Mr. Dole, in which he says: ‘The special message of the president has rendered any further correspondence on the subject of my letter of December #7 unnecessary, as the message satisfactorily answers the question. But,’ he added, ‘if you still desire the specifications requested, I will be reéady to furnish them.’

“At 3 p. m. of that day, Jantary 1, I received the letter from Hon. H. S. B. Dole herewiih inclosed, 1n which he states: ‘lt was not my intention to withdraw any of m#§ letters.’ This, of course, left every charge and statement in full force, as of that date. Believing that these charges, whether 8o intended or not, reflected - very unjustly upon the pre:sident whose agent I was, at6p. m of the same day (Monday, January 1) I replied in the inclosed letter asking that the desired specifications be -furnished at. the earliest convenience. TUp 1o this date, January b, no reply has been received and no.intimation of when it may be expected. ; . “This delay in answering is g great surprise and regret. lam fully prepared to show that every step taken by the representatives of our goverument has been in the direction of peace and good order.” .

In President. Dole’'s leiter to Mr. Willis, dated December 27, he calls the attention of the latter to the ‘‘dangerous critical condition of the community =arising; I must respectfully submit, out of the ‘attitude which you have assumed and the lnguage which you have used in public and in communications to this government and also out of the published letter of the secrétary of state of the United States and the president's message on the subjéct of restoration of the monarchy.” He continues: . ¢ . ;

_ “At the time of your arrival in this country, the forces of this governnient were organized and were amply sufficien® to suppress any internal disorder. After your .arrival ycu made communications régarding your pol; icy.. which were! ambigwous, and for several weeks you' failed to disclose your intentions; and have only partitlly done so up to the present moment, leaving this government to infer what théy may ultinateély. be from the letter from Mr. Greshan and the preSident's message, i which it has been declared in wvery distinet Jlalguage that the deposed -queen ought {¢ be restored to the throne by the governmentof the United States. Your language, expressed in public, declared that you intended toperform some act when the proper time arxived, without disclosing what that act would te. “Under these circunstances there arose at once a general feeling -of = disquiet. = The natural inference | from your attitude, language -and refisal to -disclose your purpose, ~ and fibom Mr: Gresham’s letter affi the | president’s messagé was, - and . is, that you intended 1o use force in maintaining your policy. The fact is well known, as you admitted-in your communication of December 9, that, without the consent or knowledgeof this government, you have held negotiations with tKg deposed queen, for the purpose ot ¢verthrowing this government.”’ d Foand :

President Dole declires that, in consequence of Willis*attitude in t{lis respect, the enemies. of the government hdve become emboldened, and that threats of asiassination of the cfficers of the government hive beem-mads. He also calls attention to the peneral disquietude and anxiety created. i

‘“This government.” says President Dole, ‘is reluctant to believe that this condition of affairs was contempiated or expected by yourself or by the presidentof the United States. I have therefore to ask you to inform me with the least delay whether you hold instructions to enforce your policy with tHe use of arms in any event.” : - The remainder of the correspondence consists of communications betveen Minister Willis and President Dole arising jout of the statements made in the latter's letter as given above. Under date of December 27 Willis submits that as these statements refiect upon the president of the Unitgd. States and his diplomatig agent they should, ‘inview of their gravity, be set forth with more particularity and certainty.” Each important statement in the Dole letter is cited and ‘specifications are asked, thé dJetter closing with the opinion that Mr. Dole, upon re-examinaticn, will not feel at liberty to affix his signature to such an extraordinary declaration. December 20 President Dole replied that it wasnot necessary to further go into the matter as the president's message to congress satisfactorily answered the question as to the further acticn of the administration. L : B Then follows a letter of Mr. Willis’ suggzesting the withdrawa! from the government records of all this correspondence, to which Mr. - Dole politely: declined wssent. Then follows ~the last inclosure, which i 3 a letter ' :dated January 1 from Minisfer Willis to President Dole, renewing the -request for specificutions as ,to the allegations made by President Lole in order that he (Mr. Willis) might answer them, as he is fully prepared to show that they are not ' ‘'warranted by the fucts. Here this letter expresses regret at’'the Dole comipunication, as it brings *'for the first time, official information of warlike preparations, caused by and intended for the diplomatic and military representatives of the United States.”” = | -

: A VETO, s The President Refuses to Sign the New York-New Jersey Bridge Bill. - WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, — President Cleveland has vetoed the bill passed by congress providing for the erection of a bridge across the Hudson river and terminals in New York city and connections with railroads in New Jersey. The reasons assigned -for the veto are as follows: — : , Because the bill does not urohibit the construction of piers in the river; that the commerce of the river should not be interfered with by the erection of bridges; thatexpertengineer opinions agree that- the river at the point fixed for -the crossing of the bridge can be spanned -by & single span; that in the bill of the New . York legislature chartering the company the’ erection of viers is prohibited; that the bill permits the bridge company to charge an undne amount for the transportation of mails, and that a eh?,rter for a similar structure has already been granted by congress to another company by an act which requires the construction of a single-span bridge.

FARMERS 7O UNITE. i Plans for a Big Central Organization ' ' Outlined. - i ‘CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—The five great organizations of farmers—the Farmers' alliance, the Industrial union, the Grange, the Farmers’ Mutual Benefit association and the Patrons of In= dustry—are to form a federation to be known as the Farmers' union, if plans made by the alliance at a convention held in this city are ac-*] ceptable to the other: organizations. The scheme is a big one and its promoters expect great things from it. ' The new organization is to be non-".! partisan, it is claimed, but will devote itself to bettering the condition of the farmers politically and socially. , i The specifically stated object of the federation is to ‘‘promote social harony and entertainment for the fams ilies of isolated farmers, to furnish the : means for educational government necessary for better.citizenship, more prac- ! tical tillage of the soil and a more, thorough knowledge of the questionsf% of government, of the laws of trade and the. relations of agriculture to other pursuits and occupations.” - The plan of education as adopted by the Gonvention is the production of Milton George, who has been agitating it for two years, i o | Men at the head of%the new movement say they have already received the tacit indorsement of all organizas tions interested. . The plan of constitution adopted by the Farmers’ alli‘ance provides that the Farmers’ union shall be incorporated under the laws of Illinois. It is expressly provided that it shall not be a sec¢ret organization. While in no way interfering with the secret regulations of the fed‘erated orders this central organization will be open and its ranks free to men ‘who have scruples against joining se-* eret orders. : o

Another important provision is that the federation shall be strictly non-. partisan. Vast numbers of the farmer element are violently ‘opposed to the political character of certain of the orders, and while ‘the federation is made for the express purpose of increasing the power of the agricultural element in the political and.. social movements of the country, it was generally admitted that partisan spirit would be an evil factor in the workings of the new body. The new organization will admit to membership. only practical farmers, but female members of the farmer’s household may become members. e

- TRADE STILL IMPROVES.. Betterment Noted in Most Lines—Fewer i Failures Reported. e NeEw York, Jan. '2l.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says; .~ ' “The event of the week is the offer of §50,020,000 United States 5 per cent. ten-year bonds. The gold ' not . represented by certificates has fadlen below £70,000,000, the revenue continues to fall behind that of last year about $5,000,000 2 month, and action in congress on various financial measures is liable atany time 1o excite doubts whether gold payments can be maintained. Hence replenishment of the gold Teserve was necessary to a restoration of confidente and arevival of business. . = o “Whileé industrial improvement continues, the gain is slow, and increase in the purchasing power of the people by enlargement of the force at work is in a measure through reduc-. 4ion in wages paid. During the last week dispatches have told of reductions averaging 13 per cent. in fifteen iron and steel works and averaging 151 per cent. in eleven textile works, five employving thousands of hands each having reduced wages 20 per cent. Meanwhile twenty-five textile and.eleven iron and steel concerns resumed wholly or in part against seventeen textile and four iron concerns stopping or reducing force. The volume of business done has incressed in leading branches, but not largely; clearings fall below those of last year for the same week 22.6 per cent., and uncertainty regarding the future as yet prevents the ventures essential to prosper-. ous activity. (o : *‘Textile works resuming are mostly carpet and knit goods concerns, with -some worsted works. Sages of wool for the week have been 3,189,500, pounds, against 6,082,300 last year, and the proportion since January 1 has been abpu't the same. Though more mills are at work and there is more speculative buying, prices never: tbeless decline. i : “+Aeain, there is reported more busines in iron and steel products, but at lower priees.

Cottoun has fallen, as receipts continue much larger than a year ago and the demand for consumption is narrow. Lard and coffee are 10wer, but oil was advanced a cent, with large trading. Gudsy e atan g “@ain in retail distribution of. products is still small, imports at New York show for January thus far a decrease of more than 30 per cent., while in exporis hence & gain of §2,3)0,006, or nearly 20 per cent., appears. Thereis: no thought of a meveément of gold, as London dends, stocks hither to settle for products. The excess of exports over imports in December was $43,000,00), but the exchanges seemed to foreshadow gold exports. e “Failures for the week have been 407 in the Uuited States, against 270 last year, and 46 in Canada, against 42 last year.”’ o s
