Augusta, Me., Dee. 20. Ex-Mlnlster
Stevens la out in a reply to President
Cleveland's severe strictures upon him
In his Hawaiian message. Stevens says
the president's criticism is but a feeble
repetition of Gresham's statement pre
viously published. "President Clove.
land's grossly untrue and shamefully
1 njust allegation against myself and
the naval commander rests entirely
cn the statements of notoriously corrupt
ministers of the fallen queen, of AVI1-
ton, the queens favorite, and other
thoroughly discredited testimony," say'B
.Stevens. "1 repeat here what 1ms been
amply verliled again and again, thai
neither by force or by threat of fvnjc,
or by any action of mine, was the fail
of the monarchy precipitated. For
months prior to November;- 1892, there
had been a continual struggle between
concern for each other. How many idle
workmen now see It is not safe to as
sume the employers' interest and theirs
are wholly antagonistic? Is not the
conclusion too clear to escape the most
sluggish understanding that hard times
for the employer cannot be good times
for the employe? A brisk and regulir
demand for the products of labor at
fair prices is the only safe support for
the wage scale, as It Is of dividends."
Ihe ej:-president also spoke on the tub-
Ject of corporate trusts and monopolies,
and of the epidemic of lyp.blngs as
alculated to propagate rather than to
repress crime. Tomorrow ou-r.lng the

Believeing that there was no prospect
of a difficulty Stevens left Honolulu
January 4th on a trip to Hilo. .Return
ing January 14th in company with Cap-
lain Wiltz, he says he found liio city
In great excitement, and the tide of
revolution ready to surge. Stevens at
tempted to tain access to the queen
and try by friendly advice to urrtbt
the revolution, but he was too late to
prevent the carrying out her plan of
overturning the constitution. What
took place the afternoon of the 14th of
January ended the monarchy forever.
That the Hawaiian monarchy was over
turned by the United States forces was,
and Is, put forth for the sole purpose
of bringing discredit on- the preceding
administration at Washington, and on
the action of the foreign relations com
mittee of the United States senate ,
favor of annexation.

BRAZIL'S REVOLUTION.
DeGama's Troops Said to Have Gained
a Victory.
(Copyright 1893 by the Associated Press)
London, Dec. 20. A Times' despatch
from Rio, under date of December 16,
via Montevideo December 20, says: The
insurgents: have directed a heavy lire
on the shore front, and ail business is
practically stopped. The government
attempted to retake Governadon Island,
and the forces were ambushed by De
Gama's troops. It Is thought probaole
the government troops are entrapped
and will surrender. A correspondent
applied through the British minister
to the Brazilian government for per
mission to superintend the Red Cross
work In aiding the Insurgent sick and
wounded. The permission was refused
on the ground that the men when cured
would fight against the government.
GLADSTONE CENSURED.
London, Dec. 20. The Globe criticises
Gladstone's slurring remarks regarding
Gen. Tracy, ex-secretary of the navy
In last night's debate In the commons
These remarks were in response to an
allusion by Lord George Hamilton to
the judgment of the American ex-secre
tary of the navy. Gladstone said:
do not suppose Gen Tracy acquired
such knowledge that the whole pallia
ment has to defer to the opinion he
sent across the Atlantic." The Globe
soys Gladstone's sneer was unprovoked
and utterly unjustified.

Associated Press.
Washington, Dec. 20.-The Hawaiian
question was disposed of for the pres.
ent In the senate, when, after Hoar's
argument, the message and the accom
panying documents were referred ' to
the committee on foreign relations
That committee was directed to inquire
and report whether, and if so, what ir
regularities have occurred In the diplo
matic or other intercourse between the
United States and Hawaii In relation
to the recent revolution In those is
lands.
The resolution for a Joint committee
of three senators and three members
to examine and report to congress upon
the maritime canal company of Nlca
ragua, with authority to visit Nicara
gua, was agreed to.
The senate also concurred in the
i.ouse resolution for a holiday recess
from tomorrow until Jnnuary 3, 1894.
The resolution offered yesterday ly
Mr. Frye, calling upon the secretary of
state for information whether he had
granted to any foreign cable telegraph
compariy permission to land a line on
the coast of j!Unlted states since
March 1, 189'.'. i whether Rtich per
mission hid,1 refused such. com
pany prlot'iW date,, was taken up
and agreed to. . , ,-
Mr. Hoar addressed the senate on
the Hawaiian question., He reviewed
the events In Hawaii up to the Inaugu
ration of Cleveland, and said "that
there took place a certain transaction
which suggested to Americans the ques
tion, who Is the United States of Amer
ica? Who represents, In great national
and International affairs, its purposes,
Its honor, Its policy, as to foreign rela
tions? The question as to the legulity
of the proceedings as to Blount's ap
pointment was the question which It
was the duty of the senate to deal
with. The president, when he under
took to decide that question and with
hold from the people of tho United
States what was doing until it was
settled one way or another, seem.'d to
have supposed he was the United States
of America, and that whatever that'
phrase meant It was but a synonym foi
Mm. There was but one parallel for
Willis' Instructions; that was Dogber
ry's instructions to the watch:
" 'You are thought here to be the most
senseless and fit man for the const.-.ble
of the watch; therefore, bear you the
lantern. This Is your charge: You
shall comprehend all vagrom men; you
are to bid any man stand, In the
prince's name.'
" 'Watchman How if a' will not
bland?'
" 'Dogberry Why, then, take no note
cf him, but let hlnl go.' "
The quotation evoked a wave of
laughter.
At the conclusion of Hoar's remarks
the message of the president and the
information sent In response to Mr.
Hoar's resolution some days ago. w-erc
crdered printed and referred the
committee on foreign relations.
Mr. Morgan, chairman of the commit
lee on foreign relations, submitted a
resolution for the purpose of the fettle
men', of the charges made against this
and the former admlst ration regarding
the Hawaiian policy. The resolution
was then agreed to.
Mr. Cockrell reported the urgency
deficiency bill. "Mr. Peffer moved to
strike out the item allowing mileage to
senators and members for the present
session. Ha argued that in the pres.'iit
depressed condition of the country. It
was wrong for senators and representa
tives to take money to which their
r'ght at least was in doubt. Mr. Dolph
wished to remind the senator that some
thing had escaped his attentlon-tliat no
one was obliged to take the mlloagn,
and if the bill passed and the senator
from Kansas or any other senator had
compunctions of conscience about It,
they could leave the money in the treas-
t'ly. After some debate, by a vote of
12 yeas to 41 nays, the motion .to striko
cut was rejected and the bill passed.
CARLISLE'S REPORT.
Several Important Recommendations
Made to Congress. .
Washington, DecP 20. The annuul
eport of the socretary of th treasury '
was sent to congress today. It slwwu
during the first five months of the pres
ent fiscal year that , the expenditures
the government exceeded the re
ceipts by $29,918,095. The secretary as
sumes that the worst effect of the re
cent financial troubles and business
depression is past; that the remainder
of the year will show better results,
and he estimates the deficiency at the
close of the year at $28,000,000. To meet
this he recommends the amendment of
Bpede payments, the resumption of the
act of 1875 to authorize him to sell
thrce-per-cent bonds not exceeding ;
J200.000.000 In amount, at not less than
par, saying, however, in his opinion,
only the great pressing financial emer
gency Justifies such a course. He sug
gests that the bonds be' Issued In de
nominations of 26 and multiples there
of, to be sold through sub-treasuries
and postofflces. In case congress should
decline to follow this course, he recom
mends that the secretary be empower
ed to execute the obligations of the
government not to exceed $50,000,000,
bearing three per cent, to be sold or
Irculated In payment of government
obligations. He points out the necessi
ty for an extension of the power of the
secretary to maintain a large reserve
for the redemption of United States cur-
ency. The secretary adds: "As long
as the government pursues the unwise
policy of keeping its own notes out
standing to .circulate as currency, and
ndertakes to provide for their redemp
tion in coin at presentation, it will be,
In my opinion, essential for the secre
tary of the treasury to possess tho
means to meet such emergencies as
the one which recently occurred in our
financial affairs." He says the repeal
of the silver purchase act makes such
radical change in the currency policy
of the government that until its effect Is
more fully developed he does not con
cider it advisable to recommend fur- ,
ther specific legislation on that sub
ject. He says the great Increase In
the bank reserve in the monetary cen
tres of the country show conclusively
that the amount of money in the coun
try is greater than is required foi the
ransactlon of business. He finds one
f the principal difficulties of the treas
ury results from the Indisposition of the
public to retain silver dollars ana stiver
certificates in circulation. He hail
sought to remedy It by increasing the
number of silver certificates of less de
nominations than ten dollars, retiring
the larger ones and substituting for
them large notes of other kinds of cur
rency. The report then deals at length wlta
the tariff laws. He figures In favor of
ad valorem duties. He also urges
