WAHimnTos, Nor. 21. fircretnry
Urcshnm lias mndo public nil tlio cor
respondence between tliu secretory of
stnto nn J James II. Illount, cominls
doner, and Inter minister, to tho Ha
waiian Islands.
Mr. Urcshatn, In giving this volumln
ous prlntoil matter to tlio press, ex
plained that It Included everything
connected with Mr. Blount's mission to
Hawaii, with tlio exception of somo
statistical tables relating to tlio Isl
ands. Tlio matter conslsU of thrca
parts, tlio first beginning wllli n copy
of tha Instructions given Mr. Illount
on March 11, 1693, prior to Ills depart
ure from Washington for Honolulu,
and tho last pirt ondlng-wlth a brief
letter under duto of July 81, 169.1, In
which he takes his Congo as follows:
"Tlio condition of parties In tho
Islands Is ono of quiescence. Tho no
tion of tho United Htatcs Is awaited by
all ns a matter of necessity. This con
dition, It can bo nssumed, will remain
until tha proposition to nnnox Is ac
cepted or rejected. In tho latter con
tingency no fiuddon movement Is llhuly
to occur. The present government can
only rest on a basis of military force,
possessed of most of tho nrins In tho
Islands, with n small whlto population
to draw from to strengthen it. Ulti
mately It will fall without fall. It
may preserve Its uxlstcnco for n year
or two, but no longer."
Then lie adds that lia has dono his
duty ns well ns lie could, "considering
I was surrounded by persons Interested
In misleading," and his prlvnto nffnlrs
necessitated his return homo.
Secretary Urcsham's letter of Instruc
tion to Mr. Illount, dated March II,
dcUncs clearly how far, In tho opinion
of tho president, tho usu of armed
forco Is permissible by tho United
States to pull down or set up govern
ments. Mr. (Iresham says:
"In the Judgment of tho president,
your authority us well as that of tlia
commander of tho nuval forces In Ha
wallnn waters should tie, and Is limited
In tliu use of force to such measures ns
nro necessary to protect tho iiersons
and property of our citizens; mid whllu
abstaining from uuy manner of Inter
ference with tho domestic concerns of
tha Islands, you should Indicate your
willingness to Intervene with your
friendly titllces In tha Interest of u
peaceful settlement of troubles within
tliu limit of sound discretion,
"Should It bo necessary to laud no
nfmcd force upon "Hawaiian territory
on occasions of popular disturbance,
when tha authority may lo liuablo to
give adequate protection to tha Ufa and
property of citizens of tho United
Mates, tho assent of such authority
should first lio obtained, if It can bo
done without prejudice to tha Interests
Involved."
Mr. Illount takes tha position through
out In his roport thnt thu overthrow of
tha queetv wax accomplished by a con
spiracy lietneen tho foreigners opposed
to her nnd Minister Stevens, who, lie,
claims, agreed to and did land tho
United States troops to support tho
movements of tho conspirators.
Mr. Illount says tha nutlvo raco feel
a great wrong has lieen douu them nnd
their iiucep, ur.d ha adds:
"Indeed, who would have supposed
thnt tho ulrcumstancessurroundlug hor
could hnvo been foreseen nnd sanc
tioned deliberately by thu president of
tho I'nlted "Jutes' Her uniform con
duct und tho prcvuillng sentiment
nmongst tha natives point to her belief
ns well us theirs that the spirit of Jus
tlco on tho part of tho prasldent would
rcstoro her crown."
Thul Is thu only thing In tha nature
of a rccommondatlon mado.
Tho commissioner closoi with a de
scription of tho industries of tha Isl
ands, statistics, comparison of tha
races, changes In tho conditions of tha
nntlves, and Information tending to
show that thoy havo boon badly
trented.

Ai'fii'NTAi Mo., Nov. ill. -A reporter
of tho Kcnnobca Journal called on ax
Minister to iluwnii J. L. Stevens ut his
homo last evening nnd uslced If he hnd
anything to say regarding Commis
sioner Blount's statement.
Mr. Stevens snld ho llrmly adhered
to nil of tho previous statements In his
San Fruuclaco nnd Augusta letters ad
dressed to thu country nnd in his open
letter of Inst week to Secretary
(Iresham. Ha expressed grant surprise
nt tho language of Mr. Illount ns to
Mr. Stevens' unwillingness to show him
tho records of thu legation.
Mr. Stevens says ho fcols himself at
liberty to expose Mr. Illount a remark
nbla conduct towards himself, cone
menclng Immediately nftcr Mr. Blount's
nrrlval In Honolulu. It Is n record, .Mr.'
Stevens says, the publication of which
will astonish nil "honorable, minds,
bringing to Mr. Stevens no censure,
unless It l-o thnt ho tolerated such In
suiting treatment without ut once re
senting it by refusing nil Intercom's!
with tho offending person.
Mr. Stevens two weeks ugo mndo nn
Imperative engagement out nt the
stale, which will occupy tho next two
or thrco ilnys. With reasonable prompt
ness ho will bo heurd In his defense, It
Is hulllctcnt to say now, Mr. Stevens
odds, that Mr. mount's report, so fur
as given in thu public. Is nn expurto
and shameless perversion of tho facts.
Secretary Cr-llslo has ordered tho re

It is understood tha Russian minister
will endeavor to havo them ru-urrctcd

Tho victim ot the assault was John A.

In tha company's ofllee, on tho ninth
floor of the Kookery building, one I

nn easy matter for the thugs to make
their escape from thu great building,
which Is practically deserted ut T
o'clock, tha hour at which tho robliery
was committed. 1 ho money taken
represented thu semi-monthly pay roll
of the eompiny.

wnrd a chnnga wnsmade topartchecks
and part cash. Hut It was suspected
that dummies were on tho pay roll, and
the Inst ehnnge to (laying In currency
only led to tha discovery of two dum
my employes.
The custom of paying In cush hnd
been In vogue about two mouths, ami
this fact must huvu been well known
to the robbers. They were also famil

his pay trip Hu drew tho amount of
thu pay roll from thu UllnolsTruslnud
Savings bank yesterday, nnd made up
the (21,000 In envelopes for dlstr bu
tton to each employe. Thcso envelopes
were placed In thu snfu for the
night, and nothing was disturbed
when Mr. Drako cumu to the otltco
about 7 o'clock. Ilu walked up the
nine (lights of stairs, us thu elevators
wero not running, und hnd arranged
with T. 1. Shouts, general manager of

on thu pay trip, but Mr. Shouts went
ulone, nnd thu llrst explunntlon ho re

Mr. Drake inys he hud just put the
money packages In a handbag und wns

selrd with a vlco-llko grip sideways
round the ls-idy, and while his linns
were pinioned by ono robber thu sec
ond robber dcult him n stunning blow
over the right temple with u slung shot.
Ashe staggered the robber, who hud
released his grip, struck the victim
In the face twice with his list.
At the same time the robber with tho
Isungshot hit Drake again over tho
forehead, felling him to tha Hour un

ed tho packages of money, und placing
the satchel on n chair just outside thu

Ing mot by anyone. Nothing has been

no clow which promises unythlng.

thinks wns n "very careless act to say

Recovering consciousness the treas

Mr. Drako, the victim of the assault

Drake was apparently extremely nerv

to lu Interviewed
The police lime also turned their nt
tcution In pnrt to looking up the record
of the young man who says thnt he
was robbed. It is said that Drake has
lost heavily on thu races lately, and is
extravagant In lis habits. 'I ho general
manager of tho "'lliree Is" road, T. P
Shouts, who Is a hrothcrlii-hiiv of the
assaulted treasurer, said:
'"1 lie Men of attaching any suspicion
to Mr. Drako is absurd. He has (100,

posed of, if he was short of money
Then, too, his father Is worth t3.b00,0'i
