A QUERY IN WASHINGTON
Chairman TFilson Says lie Revenue
Measure Should Be Passed
I Iff the One Ttiingr Needful to Restore
Confidence and Replace the Party
on the Pedestal of Political
Supremacy
Washington Nov 10It Is difficult
to predict what effect the recent elec
tions will have on the tariff bill which
is now being formulated by the Demo
cratic majority of the ways and means
committee
Chairman Wilson declares the pas
sage of the very measure now under
consideration to be the only thing
1L needful to restore public confidence
and replace the Democratic party on
the pedestal of political supremacy
Many prominent men in the party do
not agree with him and these will
counsel moderation in the tariff re
vision Moderate tariff men in the
Democratic party were pretty effec
tually silenced by the overwhelming
Democratic majorities of a year ago
but now that the popular expression
seems to have changed they have
taken heart and propose to be heard
in the council
The proposition to put wool lumber
iron ore coal and salt on the free list
will be opposed in some quarters and
by some strong men There seems to
be a growing desire on the part of
these men for a caucus of the party to
determine upon the best course to
pursue before the bill is reported to
Congress Even so eminent a leader
as Judge Culberbon chairman of the
judiciary committee has requested a
caucus and even Bland of Missouri
is credited with a determination to
fight the bill if it places the articles
mentioned on the free lst
The committee is making satisfac
tory progress and expects to have the
meets bill ready to report when Congress

XOCHREN AND PENSIONS
PESIOXS
Zle Replies to the Charge of Unlawful
Suspension
Washington Nov Commissioners
ot Pensions Lochren this morning
filed an anlwer In the suit by Judge
Churles D Long of Michigan begun
because Lochren declares the pension
was suspended because It had been
unlawfully increased Lochren de
I J clares Jt had been the practice of the
department to suspend the pensions
since Secretary of War John C Cal
q c
houn who was in charge of pensions
did so in 1819 that Secretary Chandler
did so in 1875 and since that time
these regulations have been In force in
the department in regulation of this
matter
These regulations he declares are
revisable only by the secretary of the
interior and cannot be restrained or
controlled by any court Judge Longs
only remedy being in an appeal to
the secretary Having ones name on
the pension roll Lochren says is not a
property right but comprises the privi
lege of receiving pensions as long as
In the judgment of the commissioners
he belongs to the class designated by
Congress to receive the United States
bounty The issuance of a pension
certificate is not conclusive adjudication
tion but is subject to a review and
such review must be executive and
not judicial He declares his right to
review his own or his predecessors
act has been frequently invoked by
Judge Long frequently with final suc
cess He then reviews the successive
steps by which Longs pension was
increased at last to 72 per month
with arrearages in proof of this as
sertion that the rulings were recon
sidered in his case and as he is therefore
estopped from claiming a pension the
the commissioner is powerless to re
view the former finding Lochren
adds that Longs pension is for total
disability whereas in fact he is not
disabled but is drawing a large salary
from the state of Michigan
Further Lochren says the court has
no jurisdiction to grant a mandamus
except for the performance of the
statutory act If the order of the com
missioner is illegal Judge Longs rem
edy is a suit for an injunction
Lochren asks that the proceedings be
dismissed

Presbyterian church at Portland Ore
are pending before the Chicago pres

a morning paper says the facts have

Detectives discovered him in com

were summoned who stood guard
and at the expiration of five hours
Totheroh and the woman emerged
from an apartment
When seen at his residence by a re
porter he said I was at the hotel
with Mrs Hamilton but I deny the
specific charge and I deny I have been
guilty of any wrong doing at any other
time though I have often met the lady
I admit appearances are against me
A to making an explanation I do not
suppose that would be worth while

Whatever I might say would be mis

Will you appear before the presby

any defense
No I shall renounce all jurisdic

WRONG SHOULD BE UNDONE
The Troops Were Landed to Overthrow
the Existing GoTernmeiit
Provisional Government Was Established
by the Action of the American Silo
iater and the Hnivanans Were
Afraid to Overthrow I
Washington Nov 10The letter of
Secretary Gresham to the president
dated the 18th of October concerning
Hawaiian affairs has been given out
for publication In it he takes the
ground that the marines landed from
the United States steamer Boston at
the time of the revolution were not
landed to protect American life and
property but to aid in overthrowing
the existing government Their very
presence he says implied coercive
measures against it The provisional
government was established by the ac
ton of the American minister and the
presence of the troops landed from the
Boston and its continued existence is
due to the belief of the Hawaiians that
in an effort to overthrow i they would
encounter the forces of the United
States Secretary Gresham thinks the
wrong accomplished should be undone
by restoring the legitimate govern
ment Nothing short of that will sat
isfy the demands of justice
The Secretarys Latter
Washington Nov 10After the
cabinet meeting today the following
letter was given out for publication by
Secretary Gresham which he had pre
viously addressed to 1he president
Department of State
Washington Oct 18 1893
To the President
Full and impartial reports submitted
by the Hon James J Blount your
special commissioner to the Hawaiian
islands establish the following facts
Queen Liliokulani announced her in
tention on Saturday January 14 1893
to proclaim a new constitution but
the opposition of her ministers and
others induced her to speedily change
her purpose and make public the an
nouncement of the fact
At a meeting in Honolulu late in
the afternoon of that day the socalled
committee of public safety consisting
of thirteen men being all or nearly all
present and a majority of whom in
cluding five Americans were aliens
was appointed to consider the situ
tion and devise ways and means for
the maintenance of public peace and
the protection of life and property
This committee met on the 14th or the
forenoon of the 16th and resolved
among other things that the provi
sional government be created To ex
ist until the terms of union with the
United States of America have been
negotiated and agreed upon
At a mass meeting composed large
ly of aliens which assembled at 2 pm
on the last named day the queen and
her supporters were condemned and
denounced and the committee was
continued and all of its acts approved
Later in the same afternoon the com
mittee addressed a letter to John L
Stevens American minister to Hono
lulu sating that the lives and proper
ty of the people were in peril and ap
pealing to him and the United States
forces at his command for assistance
This communication concluded We
are unable to protect ourselves with
out aid and therefore hope for pro
tection from the United States forces
On receipt of this letter Mr Stevens
requested Captain Wiltz commander
of the United States steamship Boston
to land a force for the protection of
the United States legation United
States consulate and to secure the
safety of American life and property
The well armed troops were prompt
ly landed and marched through the
quiet streets of Honolulu with two
gatling guns to the public hall pre
viously secured by Mr Stevens for
their accommodation This street was
just across the street from the govern
ment building and in plain view of
the queens palace The reason for thus
locating the military will presently ap
pear The governor of the island im
mediately addressed to Mr Stevens a
communication protesting against the
act as an unwarranted invasion of
Hawaiian soil and reminding him that
the proper authorities had never de
nied permission to the naval forces of
the United States to land for drill or
any other proper purpose
About the same time the queens
minister of foreign affairs sent
foreig afairs a note
to Mr Stevens asking why the troops
had been landed and informing that
the proper authorities were l ble and
willing to afford full protection to the
American legation and all American
interests in Honolulu Only evasive
replies were sent to these communications
tions
While there were no manifestations
of excitement or alarm in the city
and people were ignorant of the con
templated movement the committee
entered the government building after
first ascertaining that it was
frst ascertining i un
guarded and one of their number a
citizen of the United States read a
proclamation declaring that the exist
ing government had been overthrown
and a provisional government estab
lished in its place to exist until the
terms of union with the United States
of America had been negotiated upon
No audience was present when the
proclamation was read but during the
reading forty or fifty men some of
them indifferently armed entered the
room The executive and advisory
councils mentioned in the proclamation
at once addressed a communication to
Mr Stevens informing him that
monarchy had been abrogated and the
provisional government established
This communication concluded Such
a provisional government has been
proclaimed is now in possession of the
government departmental building
archives and treasury and is in con
trol of the city We hereby request
that you will on behalf of the United
States of America recognize it as an
existing de facto government of the
Hawaiian islands and afford to it the
moral support of your government
and if necessary the support of
American troops to assist in preserv
ing the public peace On receipt of
this letter Mr Stevens immediately
recognized the new government and
in a note addressed to Sanford B
Dole its president informed him that
he had done so
Mr Dole replied

your valued communication of this
day recognizing the Hawaiian provis
ional government and express deep
appreciation of the same We have
conferred with the ministers of the late
government and have made a demand
upon the marshal to surrender the sta
tion house We are not actually yet
In possession of the station house but
as night is approaching and our forces
may be insufficient to maintain order
we request the immediate support of
the United States forces and would re
quest that the commander of the Uni
ted States forces take command of our
military forces so that they may act
together for the protection of the city
Respectfully yours
SANFORD D DOLE
Chairman Executive Council
The station house was occupied by
a well armed force under command of
a resolute capable officer I
On the same afternoon the queen
her ministers representatives of the
provisional government and others held
a conference at the Palace Refusing
to recognize the new authority or sur
render to i she was informed nat the
provisional government hdcl the sup
port of the American minister and if
necessary would be maintained by the
military force of the United States
then present that any demonstration
on her part would precipitate a con
flict with that force that she could
not with a hope of success engage in
a war with the United States and
that resistance would result in the
useless sacrifice of life
Mr Danion one of the chief leaders
of the mpvement and afterwards vice
president of the provisional govern
ment informed the queen that she
could surrender under protest and her
case would be considered later 1 at
Washingtdn Believing that under the
cirqumstances submission was a duty
and that her case would be fairly con
sidered by the president of the Uni
ted States the queen finally yielded
and sent the provisional government
the naner which reads
1 LilluoKaiana by grace of God and
under the constitution of the Hawaiian
Kingdom queen do hereby solemnly
protest against any and all acts done
against myself and the constitutional
government of the Hawaiian kingdom
by certain persons claiming to have es
tablished a provisional government of
and for this kingdom that I yield to
the superior force of the United States
of America whose minister plenipoten
tiary his excellency John L Stevens
has caused United States troops to be
landed at Honolulu and declared that
he would support the provisional gov
ernment
Now to avoid any collision of the
armed forces and perhaps loss of life
I do under this protest and impelled
by said force yield my authority un
t such time as the government of the
United States shall upon the facts
being presented to it undo the action
of its representative and reinstate me
ant the authority which claims the
constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian
an islands
When this paper > was prepared at
the conclusion of the conference and
signed by the queen and her minis
ters a number of persons including
one or more representatives of the pro
visional government who were still
present and understood its contents
by their silence at least acquiesced in
its statements and when i was car
ried to President Dole he endorsed up
on it Received from the hands of
the late cabinet tMs 17th day of Jan
uary 1893 without challenging the
truth of any of its assertions Indeed
it was not claimed on the 17th day of
January or for som time thereafter
by any of the designated officers of
the provisional government or any of
the annexationists that the queen had
surrendered otherwise than asked in
her protest
In his dispatch to Mr Foster Janu
ary 18 describing the successful revo
lution Mr Stevens says The com
mittee on public safety forthwith took
possession of the government buildings
and the treasury arid installed the pro
visional government without the aid of
United States troops This being an
accomplished fact I promptly recog
nized the provisional government as
the de facto government of the Ha
waiian islands Secretary Fosters
communication of February 15 to the
president laying before him the treaty
of annexation with a view of obtain
ing the advice and consent of the Sen
ate thereto says At the time tho
provisional government took posses
sion of the government buildings no
troops or officers of the United States
were present or took any part what
ever in the proceedings when they
they were in full possession of the
government the barracks the police
station and the whole potential ma
chinery of the government The United
States troops were landed to protect
American property
Special commissioners were sent to
Washington by the provisional gov
ernment to negotiate a treaty of an
nexation and these statements are
utterly at variance with the evidence
documentary or oral contained in Mr
Blounts reports They are contra
dicted by the declarations and the let
ters of President Dole and other annex
ationists and by Mr Stevens verbal
admissions to Mr Blount The pro
visional government was recognized
when it had little other than a paper
existence and when the legitimate
government was in full possession and
control of the palace the barracks and
the police stations Mr Stevens well
known hostility and the force landed
from the Boston was all then that
excited apprehension in the minds of
the queen her officers and loyal sup
porters I is fair to say that Secre
tary Fosters statement wag based
upon information which he had re
ceived from Mr Stevens and the spe
cial commissioners but I am unable to
see that they were deceived Troops
were landed not to protect American
life and pronerty but to aid in over
throwing the existing government
Their very presence Implied coercivo
measures against it In the statement
given to Mr Blount by Admiral Sker
rett the ranking officer at Honolulu
he says I the troops were landed
simply to protect American citizens
interests they were badly stationed in
the hal but i I was to aid the pro
visional government they were wisely
stationed
This hall was so situated that the
troops in i could easily command the
government building and the procla
mation was read under the threat of
American puns As I understand the
movement if not at the beginning that
Mr Stevens promised the annexation
ists that as soon a they obtained
possession of the government build
ing and read the proclamation above
referred to he would at once recog
nize them as the de facto government
and support them by the landing of
troops of the war ships then in the
harbor and he kept that promise
This assurance was the inspiration of
the movement apd without i the an
nexationists would not have exposed
themselves to the consequence of fail
ure They relied upon other force
for of their own they had none worthy
that name After the provisional gov
ernment was established by the ac
ton of the American minister and the
presence of troops landed from the
Boston its continued existence was
due to a belief that should an effort
be made to overthrow i it would
encounter an armed force of Ameri
cans
The earnest J appeals to the Amen
can minlsterfql military protecUon by
the officers of the provisional govern
ment after it had been advanced
0I <
show the utter absurdity of the claim
that i was established by a success
ful revolution of the people These ap
peals were a confession by the men
who made them of their weakness and
timidity Courageous men conscious
of their strength and the righteous
ness or their cause do not thus act
I is now claimed that a majority
of the people who have the right of
voting under the constitution of 1877
have never favored the idea of annex
ation to this or any other government
Mr Blount states that while at Hono
lulu he did not meet a single annexa
tionist who expressed a willingness to
submit the question to a vote of the
people nor did he meet with one
favoring that subject who did not in
sist that if the islanders were annexed
suffrage would be so restricted as to
give complete control to the foreign
ers whites and representative annex
I ationists
The government of Hawaii surren
dered its authority under a threat of
war until such time only as the
United States upon facts being pre
sented to it should reinstate the con
stitutional sovereign and the provi
sional government was created to
3a
exist until the term of union with the
United States of America has been ne
gotiated and agreed upon
A careful consideration of acts will
I think convince any one that the
treaty which was withdrawn from the
Senate for further consideration
should not be resubmitted for action
Should not the great wrong done a
feeble and independent state by an
abuse of the authority of the United
states be undone by restoring the
legitimate government Anything
short of that will not I respectfully
submit satisfy the demands of justice
Can the United States consistently
insist that other nations shall respect
the independence of Hawaii while not
respecting it themselves Our govern
ment was the first to recognize the independence
recOgze
dependence of the islands and should
3e the last to assume sovereignty over
them by force and fraud Respect
fully submitted

and ruin of the islands I an attempt
Is made to restore Queen Liliuokalani
bloodshed will result I doubt if the
queen herself would live to sit agam
upon the throne The people who es
tablished the provisional government
in the islands were the same who
secured the constitution of 1887 which
was acquiesced in by Kalakua There
was danger of disorder at that time
and Secretary Bayard President Cleve
lands former secretary of state was
very vigorous in his instructions to
Merrill United States minister to Ha
waii that the richts and interests of
Americans must be preserved and he
was at liberty to call on the United
States armed forces to secure this
It is this constitution of 1RS7 which
Liliuokalani sought to overthrow and
establish one which would make only
natives eligible to the utper house of
the legislature and which would denv

STEVENS VIEWS

New York Nov lOThe Heralds
Augusta Me special says John L
Stevens late United States minister ot
Hawaii had read Secretary Greshams
report carefully and said The posi
tion to which Secretary Gresham has
seen fit to commit himself is so extra
ordinary so void of a real foundation
of truth so calumnious of the living
and the dead that I have no extended
reply to make at this time
I prefer to let time and events and
history decide the issue the secretary
has raised against the provisional gov
ernment and the aspersions he sees
fit to cast on the deceased captain of
the Boston the officers under his com
mand and myself The way the
United States minister and the officers
of the Boston discharged the respon
sibilities at Honolulu in January last
was more than covered by Secretary

will determine justly
