absorbing topics among the member, of

caucus assert tbey have not intended to
discredit tbe conferees. The anti-cao-cos
men deneuuee the causu. however,
as a flank movement toward a surrender
to the senate. From the general tenac

there would be no revolution instruct

otherwise discrediting their con rue.

and the whole place was one of squalor
and desolation. The children were' o

Tha Republic or Hawaii.
Wasihxgtox, Ang. 9. The republic J
of Hawaii has been formally recognized
by the United States through the secre
tary of state. The republican govern
ment in Hawaii, it will be remembered,
was set np Jaiy -tth. The following day
Willi extended recognition, no far a
wa within hi power, to the new re
public. Mr. Willis' action ha been dis
cursed, but no decision wa reached un
til yesterday, when Secretary Gresham,
under direction of the president, sent a
formal note to the minister approving
hi course. Although the text of Gresh
am' letter has not been made public, it
ia understood the president extended to
the new republic the hearty good wishes
of the United States. Representatives
of the dethroned queen started for Wash
ington as soon as the new republic was
proclaimed, and they have been here
several days endeavoring to induce the
state department to withhold recogni
tion, and to insist that Liliuokalani be
extended the assistance of the govern
ment in her efforts to regain power.
Y'eeterday's action disposes of the whole
question and closes the unfortunate dip
lomatic "incident."
Secretary Gresham visited the capitol
and informed Senator Gray, of the sen
ate foreign relations committee, and
Chairman McCreary, of the bouse com
mittee on foreign affairs, that the presi
dent had formally recognized the Ha
waiian republic. Xo official announce
ment was given out for publication, and
for this reason neither Senator Gray nor
McCreary would discus tbe subject.
Frank P. Hastings, who, in the
absence of Minister Thurston, is charge
d'affaires at the Hawaiian legation here,
has been formally recognized as the rep
resentative of the new government.
Chairman McCreary, of the bouse com
mittee on foveign affairs, says it ia not
customary to give publicity to diplomatic
correspondence until it ha reached it
destination. Consequently the letter to
President Dole will not be made public
until sufficient time has passed tor its
reception.. The fact publicity to diplo
matic correspondence has become known
may induce the president to make it
public.

a view of preparing themselve for the

Representative McMillin, one of the
house conferees, stated lie believed an
agreement was in sight. Coal and iron
ore had not yet been settled, but the
main features of the bill would lie agreed
upon so that the republican could be
called in tomorrow. During the recess
of the conferrces there were conferences
between the lending conservative

Wahuiniiton, Aug. 9. In the house
today Boutelie, speaking to a question
of pergonal privilege, denied the publish
ed imputation that he had introduced
for political purposes the resolution re
cognizing the new Hawaiian republic.
Referring to the president's recognition
of the republic, ho began describing how
Mr. Gresham had "sneaked up to the
capitol yesterday to inform Chairman
McCreary of the administration's pur
pose," when he was called to order by
Onthwaite and warned by the speaker.
Boutelie denounced the conduct of the
administration on Hawaiian affairs as
"peanut politics." He asked the house
to repudiate the whole turbulent and
malodorous affair, and to express to the
new republic cordia' congratulations.
The speaker decided Boutello had gone
outside the question of personal privi
lege, and as he would not desist, ordered
him to take hi seat. McCreary pro
tested that Boutelie, by his "manner
and words," had charged improper
motives to the committee. Boutelie in
terjected, "I withdraw the manner;
the rentleman from Kentucky has
enough for both of us.'" McCreary
thereupon resumed hi seat.
