HAWAIIAN MESSAGE
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND LAYS THE
MATTER. BEFORE CONGRESS. .
Th Question Reviewed at length The
'President, Believes Harrison Was Mis
led Blount and.Stavans.
Following is a synopsis of President
Cleveland's message to congress on the
Hawaiian question:
The inessago begins'with a review of
the overthrow of the monarchy and the
creation of the provisional government.
The annexation of foreign territory is
nam to be a departure from American
tradition. Another matter referred to
is the extraordinary haste of the pro
visional government to bring about an
nexation. President Dole's message and
the queen's protest are compared and
the discrepancies nointed out.
The appointment of Commissioner
Blount is referred to and Minister Stev
ens is severely criticised. Tho landing
or tne American troops, the president
says, was unjustifiable and uncalled for.
But for the presence of United States
troops and the known predilections of
Minister btevens for annexation, the
revolution would have been crushed.
Overawed by the American soldiers, the
queen surrendered with the understand
ing that the whole matter would be re
ferred to the United States, where all
concerned would receive justice. Min
ister Stevens recognized the provisional
government before it was in possession
of the islands and before the people had
consented to its establishment.
Mr. Cleveland thinks this country
should maintain its integrity and love
of justice and restore the condition of
affairs in Hawaii prior to the dethrone
ment of Queen Lilinokalani.
Minister Willis has been instructed to
advise the people of Hawaii to restore
the queen, if it can be done peaceably
and with the understanding that am
nesty will be granted to all who have
been identified with the provisional gov
ernment and the assumption of all obli
gations entered into, by the temporary
government.
GOVERNMENTAL GOSSIP.
Memorial service for the late Senator
Stanford will be held in congress Jan. 4.
The bill for the admission of Utah
will probably be opposed in the senate
by its old antagonist, the Ladies' Home
Missionary society, which is seeking an
opportunity to be heard by the senate
committee on territories. The members
of this society take exception to the
statements which have been made very
freely by the advocates of the bin that
polygamy is dead in Utah, and state
that they have positive information that
the contrary is the case. They obtain
this information from the missionaries
scattered through that territory.
No blood had been shed in Hawaii np
to Dec 9, the date on which the steamer
Australia left Honolulu. War prepara
tions have been made, however, and ex
citement runs high. The provisional
government has issued a notice to the
diplomatic corps that the landing of
troops from any foreign vessel will be
resisW. the United States included.
President Dole and the conservative
members of his cabinet favored peace
ful acquiescence to a request from the
United States to restore the queen.
This request has not been made. The
radical members of the provisional
forces demanded firm resistance tn res
toration, and Dole was compelled to an
nounce that his government would per
mit no outside interference.
A conference of leading silver men in
the country to devise ways of continu
ing the fight for free silver opened at
Washington. Among those present were
Generals Weaver and Field of Iowa,
Senator Stewart of Nevada, Kolb of Ala
bama, Moreton Frewen, a British
authority on bimetallism, and General
Master Workman Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor. About 50 in all were
present, representing the bone and
sinew of the silver movement. General
Weaver says the conference will proba
bly last several days and be a thorough
canvass of the situation. The confer
ence is being held with closed doors.
The possibilities of a new political party
with free silver coinage as the sole plank
in the platform was among the develop
ments ofa the day's secret session of the
silver leaders. The day was devoted to
expressions of opinion by the represen
tatives of the different states. They
were uniformly to the effect that the
working people and the farmers are dis
satisfied with the course of congress in
repealing the silver purchase clause of
the Sherman act. A

Another international race is in pros

railroad locomotives. The challenger is
Frederick Charles Winby of England
who arrived at New York from England
quite recently. He is the inventor of
the mammoth locomotive James Tole

Fair and which he is now willing to
back for a considerable amount against
No. 999 of the New York Central or any
other American locomotive. Winby left
for Chicago. His party includes a fire
man and an engineer. No formal chal

unlikely.
