UNTRJTHFUL BLOUNT.
Gen. HartweIl Exposes Weak Points
IN the Commi sSioner.s Renort.


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-Gen. Alfred
S HartweI, of the most prominent men
Oh the Sandwich Islands, and whose knowl-
edge Of the Hawaiian politics is surpassed
by no one, criticises Blount's report Sc
verely He says Blounts report appears to
omit many essential facts. and from his
manner at the time he landed in Honolulu,
it is evident he was hostile to Mr.. Stevens
and the provisional government ITO my
knowledge" said General Hartwell. ''he
avoided as far as he could any intercourse
with most Of the citizens of Honolulu out
side of the government circle, who were
supposed TO be prominent annexationists.
1t was extremely unfortunate that an ex-
confederate soldier, more or less imbued
with belief in Yankee triclkery, should
have been sent to a community like Homo
lulu which is intensely devoted to the
Union. 1 imagine he regarded the whole
movement Of the citizens of Honolulu as
regular Yankee trick, inspired and accom-
pliShed by eX-Minister Stevens with the
aid of Captain Wiltse. To sustain such a
hypothesis there was no difficulty in OBJ
by cross examination to corner such a man
as Mr.. Damon, so as to make him admit
that he had placed great reliance upon the
cooperation OF the United States minister
and naval force"
General Hartwell says that wundenberg
who ia quoted at great length by Blount
was prominent in deposing the Queen, but
was angered when refused office under the
provisional government, and his stateme ents
should be taken as coming from disap-
pointed office seeker. At q meeting, Sat

VIEWS OF SENATOR DOLPH.
BlOunt Was Sent to Hawaii to Indict
Ex-Ninister Stevens

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Dolph
member of the Senate committee on foreign
relations, who has read with considerable
care the report of Commissioner Blount
says that the report reads very much as if
Ii was prepared by a man that was sent to
the islands for a certain purpose, and that
purpose was to show that what had been
done was wrong. He did not think the adj
mnistration had been strengthened by the
publication of Mr.. Blount's report, but the
more carefully it was considered the more
apparent it will be that Mr.. Blount was
sent to the islands to report against the
action of Minister Stevens and the provis-
ional government. Senator Dolph saws il is
perhaps, true that our minister acted some
what hastily, but IL is not shown that the
revolution would not have occurred or the
Queen have been dethroned. Nor had il
been proven that there having been estab-
lished q government recognized by this
government that this government had any
right to overthrow it and re-establish either
the old or new government The Senator
added that there not much interest
in Mr.. Blount'S report, but that the most
important document and what all would
like to see is that containing the instruc-
tionS to Minister Willis.

The probabilities are that the message win

several subjects to be discussed. not only
on the Hawaiian subject, but the tariff.
At the State Department to-day ii was
said that the newspapers had been given

STEVENS AT BOSTON.
He Is Preparing Reply 40 Mr..
Charges.


BOSTON, Nov 4.-Ex-Minister John l..
Stevens of Hawaii, arrived in the city late
this afternoon from Augusta, Ne. Mr..
Elmer Stevens cordially received a repre-
sentative of the press, and in reply to a
query regarding Mr.. Stevens stated his
uncle had retired very much fatigued. Said
Mr. Stevens:
My uncle wished me to say to you when
you arrived he should have waited up 10
greet you but for his exceeding fatigue.
He asked me TO say he should not hold
any interview with any person regarding
the Hawaiian situation at present, as he is
not prepared. He wishes, through the press,
TO warn the public against any statements
which may appear in print as coming from
him, as it will be entirely unauthorized.
He will outline his position tomorrow
evening in a lecture before the West SOmer-
vile Baptist Church on the Hawaiian ques-
ton 10 some extent and will in day or
two have ready a reply to Mr. BlountS
charges in detail.
On the train, to-day Mr. Stevens
tered into conversation with an ac-
Quaintance, and talked regarding the Ha-
wiian question, but was very guarded in
his utterances. He said: MY desire from
the start has been and is now TO do all L
could for the Hawaiian people, who are
now passing through n state OF excitement
to be compared to nothing except the state
of the people of the North during the first
two years of the civil war. There is the
same interest and the same state or pubic
feeling" In alluding to the landing of the
United States marines, he said that even
had no request been made to him by the
head of the provisional government the
marines would have been landed TO save
the city from the danger OF fire and plum
der. In doing this he acted under the last

safety Of American citizens, and for the

Turning to the present, Mr.. Stevens said
he did not regard the position taken by the
administration as the policy Of the Demo-
cratic party. holding that the Democratic
party will be true 10 it's historic policy,
which Is to be summed up IN these words:
I'VE must have the Hawaiian Islands.
He stated he was firmly determined, no
matter what others might DO, not To treat
the subject from a political. much less
party standpoint.

At the Eastern Terminus.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 21.-From the quiet
ude that reigns in the yards here 1t would
not seem that a strike was pending on the
Lehigh Valley railroad. The fact only be-
comes evident when anxious little parties
are seen making inquiries at the ticket
Office and of the station hands as to when
the next train goes out, and how many
minutes late the incoming train will be.
Volleys of similar questions are indiscrim-
il ately fired at everybody about the station
who wears the uniform of n railroad em-
p;cye. The 12:42 train for Elmira left on
tine. with a few passengers and some bag
gage. The train was taken out by con-
ductor Riddle. He had with him a non,

have succeeded in tying up the passenger
service for the eastern terminus pretty ef-
fectually. At the freight yards everything
