of ii tSOfet report upon Hawaiian poll
tics Blade, to Commissioner Mount at
his request by Colonel Volney V. Ash

prominent in polities for a decade.
'Ashford given a dear account of the
causes that led to the uprising of IHH7.
Then lie sketches in a few strong pages
the recent events that led to the Queen's
overthrow. Like most other shrewd
observers Ashford attributes this largely
to the infamies of Marshal Wilson and
other corrupt favorites of the QttMBt
Of Wilson's relations to the Queen he
civs:
"Wilsoirs 'pull' on the Queen con
sisted, in fact, that for many years he
has been her thief favorite. They
openly assumed suspicious relations
years before the death of her husband;
and he himself, although a man with a
family, moved into the dead man's
house and permanently established him
nelf therein almost before the corpse
was cold. A private gateway was cut
through the palace wall, immediately
Contiguous to the Queen's private apart
incuts, through which the guards
allowed none but Wilson to pass, a
scandal at which even the must obtuse
of the native people drew the line. The
pair were publicly accused of openly
livmg together in the Queen's place at
Waikiki, a suburb of Honolulu, during
and succeeding the 'sand-hag' episode
at the palace, just preceding the descent
upon the league. All these and many
Other equally scandalous acts are mat
ters of public notoriety at the capital,
Mild have been aired and commented
upon in scathing terms by the native
press of Honolulu; hut the English press
were eil her gagged by the palace party
or kept silent to avoid the effects of the
scandal abroad. Through the Queen's
Influence over her brother (during his
absolute power of official patronage)
Wilson was given tbe superintendence
of the Honolulu Water Works, though
he was ignorant of all theory regulating
hydraulics, and the real work was neces
sarily done by another highly paid
official. Wilson collected the water
rates, however, and an investigation
lieing demanded by a member til' the
Legislature of 1880, a parliamentary
committee found he had stolen in the
neighborhood of $16,000 from the re
ceipts. Then through the same in
tyuenbe the Cabinet of the day entered
into a stipulation whereby the matter
was compromised, Wilson repaying into
the treasury 10,000. The PrincesB paid
over fAOOOot this amount in caBh. and by
her further influence, exerted in the same
direction, prevailed on the Legislature
to pass an 'act of indemnity' restoring
t.o her the $5)00 out of the public funds.
To save further scandal, friends of the
Ministry indorsed Wilson's notes for an
other $.1000 on the Government's pledge
to retain one-half of his salary until the
amount was recouped, while he himself,
of course, retained the ortlce, although
members of the Legislature, from their
place on the floor of the House, ex
pressed the opinion that he should be
breaking stones on the street with a ball
chained to him .
"At the revolution of 1887 the fellow
was believed to he a spy on both sides,
and the King subsequently informed
friends that he nt least betrayed him
into the enemy's hands as soon as the
revolutionary cause began to promise
success. He was in the Dominis con
spiracy in 1888, and was the man to tirst
reach the Government officials and
betray his comrades when he suspected
the plot was discovered. Unless the
official documents were stolen while he
and his tools were in power, there are
still confessions of his own, under oath,
in the Government archives, 'which
would hang him,' to use the words of
the then Minister of the Interior. The
particulars of this conspiracy were sup
pressed by the Government of the day,
to prevent a lowering of Hawaiian

000,000 loan, and for other reasons
already stated. He was in the Wilcox
insurrection of I860! hut kept out of
harm's way, and it was developed at the
trial of l.ooniens that he introduced
jOOflMM to the King, and sent him, by
the King's order, to join the conspira
tors. "During the Queen's reign and his In
cumhency of the marshalship he was
the absolute dictator in Hawaii. It was
common report that no act of impor
tance in governmental functions trans
pired without either emanating from
him or receiving his approval. He over
and over agau insulted the people, the
legislature and the Cabinet by openly
commanding the Queen to disregard the
Premier, on behalf of the Cabinet,
when that Miuister was urging upon her
the adoption, modiflcatioii or rejection
of contemplated public acts. Boodle,
thievery, blackmailing, bribe-taking and
general disregard of the laws were
alarmingly common ; and gambling
houses, dives, illicit liquor dens, opium
joints, and the wholesale importation of
that deadly drug have been openly
charged in the public press as being
traced to his acquiescence for monetary
onus id. rations. He kept a body guard
about him, composed in psrt from fugi
tives from pistn e from other countries
ICCUltd of nil degrees of I lime.
Wilton ig a half breed Tahittari Who
ai a waif, wh ; brought to Honolulu hy
an old Hawaiian tea captain. He grew
up Inn . Iciu ned the blacksmith trade
and followed il till his physical develop
ment attracted the attention of Mrs.
Dominis, who at once procured a Gov
ernment office for him aud advanced
him as occasion offered. Though physi
eally large, active and well propor
tioned, he is morally of a low order a
circumstance which is true o( all the
ex Queen's favorites. The feeling of
disgust resulting from the I'alace scan
dals, as well as the general repugnance
to having the laws inaladministered hy
worthless favorites, combined to origi
nate the league 'to promote justice ami
equal rights in the political Government
of Hawaii.' Among the wrongs to be
remedied was, of course, the differential
franchise, and it was the belief of the
Hawaiian leaguers that annexation
would mean equal civil rights which
most strongly tended to bring the an
nexation view into prominence among
them as the true solution of the ques
tion. At first the Palai e party encour
aged the league. They thought to use
them in the promulgation of a new
Constitution by throwing to them the
top of 'equal rights' in exchange for
their actual co-operation in the Queen's
intended coup.
"The league did not openly quarrel
with the Queen's representatives, but
'negotiated' at arm's length, with the
object of being left unmolested by the
authorities, or, rather, by Wilson, who
was directing the 'new Constitution'
conspiracy from tbe Queen's side, and
giving only such information to the
Ministers of the Government as the
Queen's party chose they should know.
"The league rapidly increased in num
bers and included many of Hie best
natives and half-whites in the country.
By May Mist there were over 300 sworn
members. There was a quasi-military
organization, controlled mostly hy ex
offlcers or native chief officers of late
native volunteer companies or of the
guard. Spies reported that the leaders
of the league had arranged for a large
supply of arms to be landed by smug
gling from small craft at out-of-the-way
points. The Legislature was about to
meet, and it was the Queen's plan that
the new order of things must be inau
gurated in time to prevent its meeting.
"Matters finally tame to a head by
the refusal of Wilcox to agree to tbe
Queen's demands. Warrants were made
out for every member of the league
whom the spies had located some
eighty-seven in number. Hans were
laid to attack and Bhoot down in cold
blood the executive council of the
league, who were, according to informa
tion from spies, to hold a meeting at
my rooms that night. This was to be
done under cover of an alleged but
bogus resistance to arrest, in face of
warrants, and, to make the thing com
plete, martial law was to be at once de
clared and the league leaders were to
be disposed of by a court-martial, com
posed of officers of her Majesty's per
sonal staff and royal guard. But tbe
league had friends at the Palace and at
the headquarters of most of the Gov
ernment departments : so the meeting
did not take place, but, instead, Wil
cox and other leaders attended a
public meeting of the Liberal party
on that evening and denounced the
Government, the Queen and royally
in the bitterest terms. If there
was basis for the 'arms' story, no evi
dence was found in the searches by the
police of residences of all known to be
long to the league. But the details of
the first move having failed, it was
Btill contemplated hy the Queen to re
move, at all hazards, those she consid
ered her enemies. It is positively known
that a proclamation of martial law was
drafted by one of the Queen's advisers,
revised in the Attorney-General's office
and carried for some days in the pocket
of one of the Queeu's staff, while the
authorities were busily engaged in
bunting up more evidence.
"The palace party calculated to stifle
all necessity for such evidence as would
convict in a court of justice hy estah
ing a 'military' court, composed of ig
norant Kanaka partisans and body
servants of the Queen. In this search
for evidence, after the arrests, the au
thorities threw parties into prison with
out warrant or form of law, kept some
without food for days, plied prisoners
with promises of reward and office if
they would perjure themselves in such a
way as to make a case against the Lib
eral leaders, and with threats of death
in case of refusal, and used means toex
tort 'evidence' of the kind they wanted
in a manner which would disgrace
brigands. These facts were proved in
court by witnesses for the prosecution.
But the failure of the Queen to destroy
all opposition to bei abominable course
is due chiefl y. after all, to the inter
ference of Major Wodebouse, British
Commissioner (now Minister), on my
behalf as a Canadian, hy compelling the
Government to try the conspirators in
one of the courts of law instead of by
a so-called military tribunal.

Prom the PollyWOg Stale to I'lTfi el Ma
turity. Editor Stah : That a Star reporter
traced a Royalist rumor through the
labyrinths of street gossip and missed
the trail at the Golden Rule Bazaar is a
cause for some reflection on the origin
and growth of the many rumors that
help to inspire the ex-Queen's friends.
A simple remark a mere pollywog of
an expression of thought may be re
inforced and thrive if judiciously nur
tured, and in the space of half a day
attain an importance that will fire the
Royalist heart with real new spirit.
Some one in the Bazaar, for instance,
may say, as he looks out of the window
and sees Mr. Mills going alone. "There
goes Mills." The perst n who hears this I
wains up to Hohron, Newman &
Co.'s corner and says to a Royal
ist friend, "Mills just passed by."
'Winch way?' is asked. "Up to
wards Beretania street." The Royalist
crosses over and casually tells a hack
man that Mills has gone up Beretania
street. The hackman qui; tly says to a
favored passenger, "I hear Mills was
seen walking up towards Washington
Place this morning." Instantly the
perambulations of Mills become in
tensely interesting, and the passenger
afterwards finds some political acquaint
ances on the makai side of Merchant
street, between Fort street -ami Bishop's
hank, to whom be makes this announce
ment "Minister Willis has sent Mills
up to Washington Place." With one
accord the crowd exclaim, "To try to
get an audience with the Queen, of
course! "
The Royalist rumor and the coming
of restoration day are subjects that
force themselves upon one's attention
every day and could not be more tire
some if they were set to the music of
"After the Ball." Rl'Moit.

Honolulu, April . The departure of
the China permits the sending of two
days' later news than that which went
to the coast on the Mariposa. Within
the twenty-four hours just past nothing
of marked importance has occurred, al
though the air is filled with rumors of
a coming restoration. It is certain tiiat
the ex-Queen looks upon a return to
Iolani palace as among the events of
the nea future. The friends of the
Provisional Government ridicule the
report, but are dissatisfied at the re
ticence of Colonel Blount to them and
his apparent good terms with the Roy
alist leaders.
However, the rumors that the Queen
is to be restored are so common and so
threatening that the Americana here,
while not in a panic, are filled with
grave misgivings. All the Royalist
leaders have an air of unmistakable
triumph. Colonel George Macfarlane
reported last night that he had seen
Colonel Blount, and that the latter, with
a hearty grasp of the hand, said ; "My
program is only half finished." Others
claim that the United States Commis
sioner bus definitely promised to undo
the work of Minister Stevens and restore
the status quo ante.
If this is true the Hawaiian group will
become the "Inferno of the Pacific" in
more than a volcanic sense, but that it
is true the leading Annexationists,
though visibly disturbed in mind, can
not convince themselves. Chronicle.

Attorney General moved the Court to
have the case of Edmund Norrie placed
on the criminal calendar. The defense
objected on the ground that the com

dated on November 7th, three days after
the opening of the term. Judge Cooper
overruled the objection. Counsel for the
defense excepted to the ruling.
According to one of the rmny rumors

time for the Royalists to tuke possession
of the Government buildings. It ia
generally hoped the attempt will be
made.

Editor Star; I desire to call the at
tention of the Board of Health to the
condition of the Chinese shops on the
mauka side of King-street bridge. Poi
peelings and other kindB of foul matter
are dumped under the houses and on to
the bank of the river, where it is con
verted into a seething mass of cor
ruption, from which the germs of
disease will eventually spread into the
city. At present the smell is overpow
ing to pedestrians and the restaurant
trade is being injured, as strangers not
understanding the situation suppose the
smell emanates rrom where they are
and consequently leave in disgust. This
could easily lie remedied by the Gov
ernment connecting the end of Hotel
street with King street (which is a dis
tance of between 60 and 100 feet), by
building a walk and tilling in. The
cost would be comparatively small, as
the material for the same could betaken
from the island in the bed of the river.
The offal could be run out through pipes
into deep water. e e e

front people is talking politics and swap
ping inaccuracies.
The damage to the Miowera, it ap
pears, will be but slight, as the survey
made hy the divers yesterday showed
that, aside from the damage done to the
stern in the tearing away of the post
and rudder, tfle principal harm to her
is in the form of a few dents in the side
plates. Regarding her engines, they are
not so badly strained as was thought
This was proved yesterday by turning
them over by hand. To-day men from
the iron foundry are at work on the
broken stern-post, and Lyle & Sorenson
will commence the construction of the
coffer dam to-day. Altogether, the
Miowera's escape from far more serious
injuries than she has sustained is a mat
ter of surprise to all. The leak is noth
ing to speak of, and what water there is
coming in comes principally from the
mutilated stern.

OPIUM ON TIIK .MIKAHALA.
The Chlnae Mtenanl Attested and
I'neiity-Neteu Tins MetStth
Just previous to the sailing of the
Mikhala yesterday afternoon Captain
Parker and officer Hart boarded the
vessel and interviewed Aki, the ( hinese
steward on the subject of opium. He
denied having any in his possession and
all knowledge of any. The officers
searched the ship, however, and were
rewarded by the discovery of a satchel
under the staircase leading to the main
saloon, which, on examination, was
found to contain twenty-seven tins of
opium. The steward was arrested and
taken to the station house where he con
fessed and gave away the name of a
prominent Chinese firm that had cm
ployed him to take the opium to Kauai.
Aki procured the services of V. V. Ash
ford later on, who procured his rejggte
on depositing $2.a) bail, and he sailed on
the regular trip a sadder and perhaps
wiser China DM than Usual.

KniToii Stak : I joined the Citizens'
Reserve soon after the publication of
the correspondence between the Annex
ation Club and the Government about
the removal of certain Royalist officials
from offioe. 1 joined in good faith,
expecting that the Government would
f ii 1 till its implied promises and make
some removals at once. It has not
done so, and now I am in a quandary. If
trouble should occur and any fighting
be done, and I should help do some of
it, whom would I help by risking my
life V Should I not benefit Royalist and
Annexationist ofriciala alike I This is
more than I bargained for. 1 am will
ing to ftght for the Provisional Govern
ment, hut I will not do so to help n.ain
tuin a lot of RoyaliBts in its service, and
there are many cithers of my siuad in
the same boat.
