Documentary Evidence Which Goes
to Show that Dole Was
"on His Dignity."
Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 20. The president
today submitted to congress the latest
correspondence relating to Hawaii. It specification asked, the letter closing
comprises some brief notes of Minister with the opinion that Dole, upon reex
Willls to Secretary Gresham, which amlnatlon, will not feel at liberty to

part of the correspondence consists of
a long letter containing an enclosure
of the correspondence of Dole and
Willis. A letter to the secretary says,
under date of January 5th, 1894: "On

government has been In the direction
of peace and good order."
Dole says In his first letter to Willis,
referred to by the latter In his letter
to Gresham: "Pending further action
of the government of the United States
upon the matter contained In your com
munication of December 19th, and my
reply to the same under date of Decem
ber 23d, I desire to call your excellen
cy's most serious consideration To the
dangerous and critical condition of this

community, iuibi8, x n,uu icc-nuny
submit, out of the attitude which you
used in public and in a communicaUon
to this government, and also out , of
the unpublished letter of the secretary
of state of the United States and the
president's message upon the subject
of the restoration of the monarchy. I
do not, however, claim or Intimate that
this unfortunate situation has been In
tentionally created by you or by the
government which you represent, but
arises from the natural construction nf
your attitude and the ambiguous terms
of the statements referred to. Tour
lnncriince expressed in public declared
you Intended to perform some act when
the proper time arrived, without dis
closing what that act would be. Under
these circumstances there arose at once
a general feeling of disquiet. The nat

the deposed queen for the purpose of
overthrowing? this government. The
apprehensions of both political parties,
n. uell as that of persons who retnaln
neutral in these mattera. is that you I
hold instructions to use physical force
fr the restoration of the monarchy. j
"In consequence of yof attitude in
this behalf th enemies' of this gr,v-

to your attitude the government has
befell compelled by the public apprehen
sion to largely increase its military
forse at great expense. I have there
fore to nsk you to inform me with the
least delay whether you hold Instruc
tions to enforce your policy with the
use of arms."
The remainder of the correspondence
consists,, of communications between
Willis and Dole arising out of state
ments made in the lattcr'a letter as
glvn above. Under date of December
27,-jVrillis Bubmits that as these state
ments reflect upon the president of the
United States and his diplomatic agen,
theyahould,. In view of their gravity,
be setr1" forth with more particularity
and certainty." Each important state-
' ment in the Dole letter is cited, and a
affix his signature to such an. extraor
dinary declaration. December 29th Dole
replied that It was not. necessary to
go further Into the matter, as the pres
ldent's message to congress satlsfac
torlly answered the question as to the
ernment records of all this correspond-
ence, to which Dole politely declined to
assent
Following Is the president's message
transmitting to the house the Hawa
iian corresrondenco;
"I transmit herewith dispatches re

sage ot tne Presldent of the United
states, t0 congre88 on tne Hawaiian
matter, have rendered any further cor-

unnecessary, as the message satisfac-

llesumed by the Honse.
SEVERAL AMENDMENTS LOST

Cotton and Woolen Goods
on the Free List.
Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 20. In the house
today debate on the tariff bill was re
sumed. The pending amendment, be
ing that of Henderson, of Iowa, to
substitute the existing rates on agri
cultural products for the agricultural
schedule of the Wilson bill, was lost,
the vote being 116 to 63.
Craln, of Texas, offered an amend
ment, to reduce the' duty on woolen
goods from 40 to 45 per cent to 25 per
cent. Jerry Simpson offered an amend
ment to place all cotton and woolen
goods on the free list. A long debate
followed. Both amendments were de
featcd.
ADMIRAL IRWIN'S REPORT.
He Characterizes Certain Statements as
Utterly Groundless.
Washington, Jan. 20. Secretary Her-
Dero nas just received an omclal report
from Admoral Irwin. In command of
the United StateB naval force at Hon
olulu. The report is dated January 2,
1894. It says: "Military preparatlont
for defense continue to be made by the
provisional government, and the ex
citement is unabated. The newspapers
quote me as saying I would not obey
any orders which I considered unlaw
ful, nnd that the officers and men un
der my command assumed the same
attitude. These sensational reports
are Intended to Influence public opinion
in the United States and are entirely
without foundation. It has been as
serted that we have often been pre
pared to land, which is true, but our
motives were Intentionally misconstrued
as Willis stated openly, and his state
ment was published, that he would
land solely for the purpose of suppress
ing riot and to protect the lives and
property of the defenseless. Were It
not for the course of tha newspapers
in their endeavor to lnlluence public
opinion In the United States, no un
easiness would be felt, and business'
would go on as usual. , ' '

probably be brought up In the Reich,

Socialists, and even the better class
of workmen, are greatly excited at the
apparently cruel manner in which the
meeting at Lip's Brewery was disused
by the police. According to law, people
Intending to hold a public meeting must
motlfy the police twenty-four hours
previous to the time fixed for the as
sembly, and & written permit to hold
such meeting must be shown the po
liceman In charge of the meeting. In
this case due notice was given and The
permit Issued, but Roderaln, an anar
chist metal worker, to whom it was
given, was arrested on his way to. the
meeting with the permit in his pocket.
As no permit could be shown at the
meeting, when the unemployed gath
ered, they were ordered to disperse.
The people began to leave the hall
quietly, but the police pressed or. them
without warrant and beat and Injured

London, Jan. 20. Tho weather t

Wheat has been the principal feature

CARLISLE'S AUTHORITY.
: Toledo, Ohio. Jan. 20. Ex-Secretary
of the Treasury Chas. Foster says the
otory a year ago that he had plates
made for a bond Issue which President
Harrison stopped Is not true. Ho say
he favored a bond Issue In case the
reserve went below II 00,000,000, but It
did not do so during Harrison's term.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
1 k m
"Secretary Carlisle," ' said Mr. Foster,
"undoubtedly has authority to sell
bonds to replenish the reserve: he can
do that and then pay it out for cur.
rent expenses; then sell more bonds
to bring up the reserve again, and so
on, but this evades the spirit of tho
law in my opinion."

revolution generally:
"The revolt seems to bo drawing to
ft close. Tho rebels number less than
800, and only the Aquldaban is able to,
pass the forts at the entrance to the
harbor. There Is no possibility of the
rebels capturing Rior or Nlctheroj as
every hill is fortified. The regular
troops are et 111 In barracks, the situa
tion not having been such as to call
upon them for services. All the fight
ing has been done by the National
Guards, who displayed great bravery.
Almost dally tr.a forts are called upon
to fight their heavy guns, and the rebel
ships bombarded the lower portion of
the city with rapid-firing guns, killing
people In the streets with wanton sav
agery, and no possible gain. It is said
Admiral De Gama Is beginning to con
sider the advisability of trying to ob
tain favorable terms of surrender."
