WASHINGTON, MONDAY, AUdIJST 25, 1890. KANAKAS IN REVOLT. A Revolution Against Whites Has Began in Hawaii. ADMIRAL BROWN'S STATEMENT. An Uprising Prepared Before the Charleston Sailed. Natives Will Rebel Against White Dom ination and Have Probably RJaen By This Time— England Ready to Seise the PI am. Some interesting news concerning Hawaiian affaire was learned from Admiral Brown yester day by a PosT-INTELLiGKNCiCR reporter. It will be remembered that tr.e Charlestou left Hono lulu on the 7th of this month, aud the last steamer for San Fraud'co on the first of the mouth, tlx days before. No more news will be received till the 80th, when another steamer witl reach San Francisco. Accordingly the word which Admiral Brown briugs is the latest! The fact that the admiral has been to the Hawaiian Inlands several times and has an unsurpassed acquaintance with the affans of that kingdom lends a peculiar interest to all he says. The Charleston lay at Honolulu for two months and teu days. Her object iu going, as has be fore been stated, was to protect American inter ests; for in the isiauds are many Americans,and about 80 per cent, of the capital iuv» sted there is from tins country. Sine, the political condi tion of the Hawaiian gi,v rumeut is more or lesa precarious, our adm uistratiou deemed it best to have the C hariestou on hand during a period which it was believ d wou d be a trying one. in his talk with the POST-INTELLIGENCER rtportt-r Admiral Brown summed up tne situa tion about as fol.ows: "The present constitution of the Hawaiian government was td pttd n 1887. Previous to tnat time the king who possi >sed large powers had oeen negotiating extensive loans, some times of a million dollars or more; and the peo ple felt that he was running the country too heavily in debt. Of coarse he found little diffi culty in getting the money; because the Euglish capitalists were only too gl id to lend to King Kalakaua. You see the Euglish government practically, though not nomiually, guarantees the loans by Euf-lis'i syndicates and banks to foreign countries. If th- king of the islands should default in interest or pnncipal, then the English would have a pretext for stepoing In, takiug possession of u.e cu«tom-boutes, and. in reality, getting hoid of the government, iu or der as ihe English say, to protect their inter es s. This is a itiing which Eugiaud has done before, and it is pur. of ihe r policy. "bat, a> 1 say, the peope i rotested against the government's such heavy debts; and so through the tffi-rte of is kuown as the Ke orm paity a new cou*t tutiou was adopted in 1887, greatly restr cting the power o. ihe king iu every way, but > specially a« regards the borrow ing aijd na dilng of money Uu< er ihis new constitution things i.ave been running with a certain amouut of friction *ver since. "But a new element is coming into political promiuence, or rather an old element is getting greater strength. Hitherto the government has been managed, in fact at least, by Europeans and Americans, chiefly the latter, for the reason that these foreigners nave been the only ones fitted by education, training and experience for conducting affairs. The islands, however, have a very fine system of schools, in which the natives have been well edacated. In many in stances the young men have bien sent to Europe and to America 10 receive still greater advantages. The result baa been that educated natives—perhaps I might say over eoucat.d—have become unwilling to go into the trades or become clerka or subor dinates in shops and fac.ories. They wish to be docto.s, lawyers, to go to the legislature and to become professional men. They have ielt thnt they were fully com petent to conduct the Hawaiian government, and that the part played by foreigners in the con trol of afl'airs was an unwarrantable interfer ence with their sacred rights. Accordingly these schooled natives have gathered around them a hand of fo.lowers daily increasing in strength, who have raised the cry, 'Hawaii for Ilawaiians.' These maicoutents form a part at least oi what is known as the National Reform party. Through their agitation a revolutionary spirit has been steadily growing and threaten ing trouble. "Ine fee.ing against foreigners ha« been In tensified by the action of the pre ent legislature. In May this body, through the influence of the National Reform party—not the Reiorm party which put taroußh the present constitu'ion passed a vote declaring a lack of confidence in tne ministry. Since the governm nt is con ducted somewhat on the English plan, this rote was a request for the ministry t j resign. The resignation was made, and a new cabinet lormeo, with Jona Cummings, a native, at its bead as premier. Of tne other three cabinet officers, Mr. Spencer, the miuisterof the interior, is an American; Mr. on, the at torr.ej general, is also an American, and Mr. Brown, th? mi: ister of finance, is an English man by birth, though he has spent his life in the United dtates and tn the Sandwich islands. Thus it happens that Mr. Curamings Is the only one of the cabin -t thorough y re pre# utative of .the National Reformers. The other ttireo are at best what might be ca-led mugwump*. Siuce Mr. Cnmmitigi formed this cabinet and put no natives into it, a stroug feeling hat grown up agains; him In his own party. So by this means the present government ha* been further weak ened. "Thus it happens that this ministry, com posed so largely of aliens, has given the revolu tionists an excuse for further complaint and ag itation. Accordingly, the malcontents have been working up the natives to a feeling of hos tility to the government, and what iamore, they have prepared a new constitution closely re sembling that in force before lsß7, especially as reesri* giving the king power. The constitu tion of I*B7 was r-.aliy rcvoln ionary, since it was not adopted in accordance with rcgalar legal proce»ses. nut it has been in full force for three years and has tne authority of established fact. This constitution of I»S7 contains a clause providing for amendments. According to this provision any proposed change roust be parsed by two successive legislatures and approved by the king. Now the revolutionists do not care to wait so long; for the legislature meets bien nial.y. If they carried their point with this legislature, tbey might fail with the next, and even were they sure of the next, there would t* the inevitable delay of two veers. So they.have been preparing for a revolutionary step. "To tbis end they tried by act of legislature to get the independent troops out of the way; for example, to disarm and disband the two com panies of Honolulu rifles, composed largely of young Americans who will espouse the cause of the present constitution, for the Americans are contented with the existing government, and it ia satisfactory to onr interests :u the island. But the discontented p-rtv has not succeeded iu ceiling rid of tnese troops, which would be a big obs.a lein their way. "The malcontents have also b?en trying to get a constitutiona' coav«-iton which sha.l adopt their proposed coi st.tut.on; bu; this pian, if ooeniy broached in ihe legislature, will be vo ed down by that body on th ground th»t it is revo lu ionary. It will be opposed by tae Reform party, and by certain of the Nationals as well, who bava Utile sympathy wuh :ne disgruntled, bu: thin* that Hawaii "ill prosper most unoer the present regime. From thW it can be seen that the National Reformers are divided, many of th» m opposing revolution. "6 ill another ca«se for i legal outbreak may be mentioned. The revoluzionin* w*nt the of fices at tne di*p< #al of tue government: for though Hawaii is small, it ha* a full set of offices for a larger kingdom. The mm cor tents have in meeti. g* with the Mechanics' Union patted r. so u ion* ask ng that this patronage, as we ca.l it here, be given to native* and to a mbers ot the r o*a party. Th * request, however, has been ignored by the government. "Back of things are several o*her fac tors which enter into the calculation. The con •ti'utiou proposed by the revolutionists g.ves, as I have said, more authority to the king; so naturally he favors it, aud lands his support to the party. Then, too, the English commissioner, Major Wood would probably not be sorry to see a return to thaold regime by which the English capitalists might win advantage. Liv ing there as he has for twenty-five years, he knows every prominent man in and oat of the government, and Though to a casual observer It might seem that he takes little interest, aud has little influence in native politics, still yoa will find on looking below the surftoe that he is very powerful. His long residence makas him perfectly familiar with everything that has teen done in the past, and he knows just what can be expected of any man or any party of men in Hawaii in the future. "Our own minister there, Mr. John L. Stevens, is au accomplished and a clever diplomat He has seen service not only in Uruguay, but also as minuter to Sweden. Being from Maine, he is of course a close friend of Secretary Blaiue. Every body knows that though he has lived at Houolulu but a year he is equal to any emer gency which may arise; but when it comes to a revolution, a minister cannot take the place of soldiers; and so the United States, knowing the unsettled condition of affairs, sent the Charleston out there about three months ago to protect our citizens and our int erests. -Y,u are aware that our reciprocity trea'y with the Hawaiian Islands has made a great many people there ricu-: for they cau man ufacture sugar Rt |65 a ton and sell it to us at S9O. Ia ivtum the Paiflc coast trade is greatly bene fited, as well its that of the whole country, be cause we sell them a good many manufactures whic • enter their duty free. Accordingly a good deal of American property has accumu lated m the Islands which I was instructed to pro-ect During all of my st*y at Honolula matters were becoming more and more per turbed, and an uprising by the revolutionists had actually been planned for the 4th of August. I learned of it on the first day of the month, but we received sailing orders on the second. The news of our intended departure—which could not be concealed because our taking in of coal ai:d supplies was perfectly evident—led the rev olutionary party to postpone till after we left, the execution of their design. But I confidently expect to hear by the next advices from Hono lulu that th re has been an actual outbreak, a revolution attempted if not really ncoompHshed. Those anxious for a change have, as I believe, played upon the king, and have drawn him into their scheme by the promise of additional power, such as he had under tne old constitu tion. But they are simnly m king a tool of him. As soon as they can get their hands on th« government the thine which they desire, they will force him out and pat in as qneen his sister, Princ ss Liliukalani, who will suit their purt.os"B eve-» better than would King Kala kaua. Tbe Reform party will oppose any move met to put in the princess, and further dis turbances will ensue, resa tineina archy. Au araby will be followed by a provisional govern ment, and after that, in my opinion, a republic. In this republic the chances are that the Re form party, uot the new National Reformers, will obtain and preserve the ascaudancy. "During these anticipated troubles the Charleston was to have looke'd after the Ameri can interests of which I have spoken: but now the Nipsic is there,while the Iroquois and Mohi han are on their way ihither from Samoa. Our policy is »o< ffer complete protection to our in tere ts, and to nc that durin? the confusion i,o other covrrment gets a hand. We <*o not want to aunex 'he kingdom, but we must see that its au'on >my i« preserved; that whatever happens it bo allowed to govern itself. In ca«e of open disturbance, which in itself will be a conclusive proof that the existing government is unable to afford sufficient protection to our property, American sailors and marin s, fully arm-d and provided with artillery, will be landed at once to protect the An erlean legation and all other American interests from possible injury." TURNER'S HOPELESS FIGHT. The Spokane County Committee Oyer- Vhrlmincly Against Him. SPOKANE FALI.S, Aug. 24— The result of the meeting of the county Republican central com mittee here, ou Saturday, was a clear defeat of the friends of Judge Turner, Out of fourteen members present, but two favored the proposi tions known to b« favorable to Judge Turner. Chairman Ridpath, who is a Turner man, was utterly powerless, and the Wilun men had it all their own way. It was the first fme there has been a test of the comparative strength of the Uilsoa and Turaer force* in Spokane County. The result shows an overwhelming majority in favor of Wilson. The central committee very fairly represents the com muni yat large. Judge Turner's cau didacy has nt ver met with the approval of any considerable element in his own party and the inovemeut in his behalt has s'eadily declined from the day it was inaugurated. The report sent from here to the effect that there is a combination of the Wilson people with Ca'kins is without any foundation what ever. Mr. Wilson and his friends have not com bined with anybody. Such a thing is not felt to be necessary. THE PUYAL.LUP COMMISSION. Hard Fight for the Power to Negotiate a Purchase. WASHINGTON CITY, Aug 24.—The secretary of the interior, unil< r whr-se jurisdiction the case comes, has been c n idering names for appoint ment on the Pnyailup Indian commission, as well as the commission to go to the Warm Snrin • reservntiou n Oregon and Co.ville, Wash. In the latter ctse the selection of men is not difficult, as the commissi n has < n!y to de termine the boundary liue in Oregon and to negotiat? for the c -ssion of part of th Oolville reservati « in Washington. In the case of Puya lua, the int rests involved and the gr-at amount of eiiscu* ion ovt r allowing a Washing ton nan TO bp appointed has dra>»n a great deal oi attention to it. In this, as in all oth-r cases, there are a large number of men anxious to serve, and senators and representa ives want to arm these places with men for political ressons. Among the candidates are A. F. Foster, of Tacoma, formerly of St. Paul, hut it hits been decided that no man from Tacoma will be named. A commission is aiso to be appointed to negotiate with the Crow Indians in Montana. A GROWL AT PRINCE RVBSELL. Bia Interference in Montana Deeply Re- tented l»y the Senators. WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 24.—Some objection is made by Montana to the aiieged interference of Rnssell Harrison In the appointment of a po»tmaster at Helena. Senator Power says that politically Rissell Harrison has no Influence in the state, and that he could not change three vote* upon anything, yet the appointment of Mr. Walker is delayed because the president de sires to gratify his son. The Mon ana senators are not any too well pleased with the adminis tration for a lowing Ratseil Harrison to have more influence in appointments than the sena tors of a great state. The matter of patronage causes a great deal of trouble to the politician during the present administration. TARIFF WITHOUT A REST. Only Conferences and Casta Bille Will Interrnpt the Debate. WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 24.—The order of business for the remaieder of the session, ar range by the Republican committee of the Senate, provides that the consideration of the tariff bill be completed without interruption, except b> appropriation Mils and conference re ports. Tw< > conference rep >rt* are expected to be presented duri g the week, one on the irri gation survey prov sion of the sundry civil bill, and ibe oih*-r on the land errant forfeiture bill. The programme for tho week'* proceeding* in the H 'U«e ha* a ready been agreed upon as to part of the time aad th® committee on rules will probably provide for the disposition of the remainder.

NEW ENGLAND ROADS ATTACKED Chief Sargent Proves That Wabb Ig nores Depew's Views. The Strike Will Spread to the West Shore end Other Roads—The Rail roaders' Conncll in Session—Meetings In Sympathy. NEW YORK, Aug. 24,-Vice-President Cobb, of the New York Central, is of the opinion that the Terre Haute convention will do little or nothing in supporting the Kuig.its of Labor, and that tne strike, if there is one, will quietly be proven a failure. Powderly and his col leagues—Hayes, Devlin and ffr ght—left town ton glit for Albany to attend the couvent.on of district assembly 246 tomorrow. President Johnson, of the assembly, in com menting upon the situation, said: "Unless the concessions demanded by the strikers Irom the railroad managers are acceded to, we expect to morrow that a general strike wi.l be ordered. Fully 9,000 men on the Vanderbilt system will walk out, and we know these moa-switchmen, firemen and yardmen— cannot be replaced uu-. der any circumstances. AL BANY, Aug. 24. The executive board of as sembly '246 heid a s-.'cret session tonight It was dtcided that if the Delaware & Hudson lOid presisted in handling any transfer freight from ihe Central, a general strike should be ordered, and the same action be takea in reference to the Boston & Albany and the Fitchburg, in case they continued handling this transfer freight ALBANY, Aug 24.—A prominent leader ii the Cen'ral strike and an officer of one of the local assembles, who is in a position to know wh re of ne speaks, tonight said: "A tie-up iu the yard- of the Wet>t Shore and Fitchturg roxds at Rotterdam junction has been determined upon. The Fitchburg has been leading assistance to the Central. Between Karners and Schenectady the road has made remarkable progress in raising the blockade, which is almost an event of the past on that portion of the road. DEPEW AGAINST WEBB, Chief Sargent Quotes the Young Mag. nate'a Superior in Labor's Cause. TKRRE HAUTE, Ind., An*. 24. Nothing au thoritative will be given out as to the delibera tions of the supreme council of the Federation of Railway Employs un'il tomorrow e" the earliest. It is among the probabilities that tfe decision of tbc counct may not be reached for several days. This Snndav saw no convening of the council proper. This does not mean thnt the agencies were not at work. The council last night put into the hands of G-and Secretary Debs, of the Brotherhood of Firemen; Vlc« Grand Master Morrissey, of tbe Brotherhood of Trainmen, and Vice Grand Master Downey, of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association, the deliberations of the council, and they will pre pare certain propositions to be presented to the council, which will define the action of the su preme body. This committee has been in a<a sion since 8 o'clock list evening. The members separate only to take what may be strictly termed lunches. Grand Chief Sargent waa at his office today overhauling the books and papers which bear on the threatenlug general strike on the Van derbilt system. He ia also compelled to look over his work as regards the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. The Associated Pr ss correspondent called at Mr. Sargent's bouse this afternoon and found him as frank as usual He had carefully read Powderly's letter to Webb sent out last night. While Sargent did Dot ex press any opinon as to the action the council would take on the reDort of the com mitt?, yet he freely expressed himself about P-wde-iy's mis sive. He said: "I admLe Powderly's stand. Powderly puU Webb in the position he belongs and which, when the public thoroughly uu uerstnnd, will convince it that Webb is wrong. Webb's position is directly opposite to that taken by Depew, his superior officer. Depew was always dayoted to th» or ganization of labor." To sustain this state ment, S urgent gave to the reporter the follow ing extracts from an address delivered by Depew at the m cting of the Firemen's Broth erhood held in Tammany hall on .May 15,1857. Said Depew at that time: "I believe in au or ganization just like yours for protection, for charity, sobriety and industry. It is proper in these days that there should be organization, for the single reason that the bnsin< ss of this world cannot be carrie i on iu any other way: that railroad people ought to be able to in ©ll i gently discuss the questions of the day and should tell the government they do not want to import labor." "These expressions of Depew," ss'd Barg«nt, "show conclusively tnat he wa« in favor at ihat tim of organ >z d labor. He D.li.ved in the right of workiu.-men to go to tb-* pohs *nd ex ercise their riitht of franchise. Tie Knights of Labor have taken a > active part iu legislative afta rs in the state of New York during th- pas: year. Much c f this 1» gislation ha* been directly in the interest of railway employes, and the New York C< ntral being one ot the <arj?e?t cor porations that woild naturally bi aff cied by legislation of that sort, and many of its em ployes going before the assembly in behalf of the bilis presented, and the fact that the m< n discha gtd by the NJW York Central were par ticipating in this effort to bring a r out the pes sage of these labor bills before the Now York legislature, (hows plainly that the company is antagonizing the K sights of Labor in its present action, for bad the men been discharged for drunkenness, breach of discipline and such causes «s are now claimed by Webb, he would not hesitate one moment to have an investigation. I am surprised thut a man shonld'have been in the employ of the New York Cv ntral for fifteen or twenty years and now be dismissed on acconnt of character. It is a sad commentary on the management of the road. In the course of an address deliver-d by D *pew on Suuday, May 25,1890, shortly before the director sailed for Earop , he said to the meeting of the Brotherhood of Engineers at New Haven: " 'There are a few thintm abmt the relation of the president to the employe* of the road which I would like to nay. We both draw our salaries from the same tret*urv; the pre«ident of the xiropauy ha* his duty to perform to the itock holders of the road, but it la not. as in&ny of yoo suppose, his only duty. While he mu t tee to it that proper economy is maintained and the earning power developed, he must see that the public at all time* get the best pM*ibie gervice, and that the men in the employ of the company are treated w 11. It is hi* duty to march omt and take by the throat and throttle any nan who iu his brief authority treads on the to> Bof tome one of the men under him. A railroad goes on for ever and the in n in itaem poy rt•'.xe the security of their employment, aud it vives to them an independence which is their right' "Any-ne who reads these utterances of De pew und -rstandinglv cannot h lp bu*. believe that Depew, as president of the Sew York Cen tral road, b liev-*d in the recognition of his ern p oyes whenever they desired to comer with him. and if any of his practiced any injustice, in hi* own words, he woaid have said, 'I could take them by the throat aud throttle them.' The employe." who were discharged by the Central were denied the right to give their side of the story to the man agement. They claiu they have been mis treated by the subordinate officers, demanded redress, w re refused a hearing and have now combined f- r protection. Just as advocated by Depew, president of the New York Central, powderiy, as th* men's counsel or adviser, come* forward and by nonorarle means tries to bring about an tm liable adjustment. He is met by the acting president of the road and in formed that the employes have no rights in the premises. He also says he will discharge anv man at anytime, aud no questions ne«! be asked. At the New H*ven meeting Depew went on record a* the advocate of combining labor i«r its own protection. He *aid: borne time ago I was working up some ma er* re garding the progress of civilization. I learned that our lnwsca.ne from Great Britain, w:iera prior to oi-o hundred ye rs * ago laoor had no pl*ce in her legislation. The stc.tHtes which we fouud are enough to make the hair stand on end 0:5 a hald man. To read them give* you such a cireulatio u of the blocd that you have to put a pi.-ceof ue on your pulse. Tile law hxcJ tie wages and made it a crime for labor to meet and comome for its own protection." "The Knights of Labor as an organization are combining today tj protect the New York Cen tral employes, just wliat the prtsident of that great corporation bus advocated in sympathy with the boys. Whi'.c 1 iiava never le.-en an ad vocate of strikes where ihcr.* was a way open to Rvoid them, yet I cannot help but believe that tne portion of the executive head of the Knights of Labor is correct."

Lately, after this work many men have been attacked in the hand and arm by blood-poisoning. The hand and arm in* creased to a horrible size and took oa a leaden hue. Then the swelling commenced to subside, when running sores broke through the skin and in effect the arm was more than half* paralyzed. The swelling was accompanied bf dull pains in the besd with falling away, of strength end complete exhaustion. The sufferers multiplied rap:dly until nearly one half of the fishermen were down. No death* resulted to the knowledge of the narrator, but no complete cares were effected. When tha swelling subsided, the sores contlnned in • more or less active stata.

In handling salmon it very often happens that the bard sharp Ana and scale* slightly puncture the skin. It has never bnea known before, however, that blood poisoning ol the strange kind described baa resulted. ONLY THE JtMl'EItS HURT* A Cable Car Breaks Away—Several Wo men Leap and are Injured.
