AN APOLOGY Is DEMANDED.
Minister Blount Disturbed by an
Incident in Hawaii.
PRESENTATION OF A CANE
His Name Used in Connection with a
Gift to Spreckelss
The Party Who Made the Presentation
speech Called Upon by the Provincial
Government-He Answers, and
His Letter Is Returned.

HONOLULU, July rs. - Minister
Blount's equanimity was seriously dis
turbed by an incident which occurred
just before the steamer australia left
port. The prearranged scheme of pre-
senting a cane to Claus SpreckeIs was
carried out. 1t was inscribed with list
of names headed by those of Lilioukalani
aud James 81. Blount, and at the time of
the presentation the Royalists took occa-
sion to assert that Minister Blount had
allowed the use of his name to show his
appreciation of Spreckels and the ex-
queens cause. When Minister Blonnt
heard of this he denounced the matter in
an excited manner as an outrage and sent
the provisional government note calling
their attention to it.
Chas. Creighton, who made the pre-
sentation speech, was called upon for an
explanation and apology for the use Of
| Minister Blount's name on the cane.
This afternoon Creighton left his reply at
| the foreign office. It contained an at
tempted explanation of the use of Mr..
Blount's name, and expressed regret of
the royalist's participating, and that the
! offence had been given. The matter was
| considered in cabinet meeting and it was
resolved to decline to accept the apology
offered. Creighton's letter was returned
to him this evening and the governments
will decide on further action after con-
| sulting Minister Blount.
| A petition has been filed to declare
Samuel Parker ex-minister OF the queen,
bankrupt. Unsecured claims reach
$500, 600; total claims against the estate
amount to s2S3, 900. Parker spent over
$500, 900 during the past nine years OF the
monarchy as royal favorite and will be
! left without cent.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
1t Will Be Held at 8 O'clock on Satur.

Only About Forty Members of the Lower
House and Less Than Score OF sena-l
tors Have Arrived-The Senate
Finance Committee.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Representa-
tive Robertson of Louisiana, in response
to a telegram today received authority
from Judge Holman to issue call for a
Democratic caucus on Saturday, Aug. s.,
at s p. m. Members of Congress continue
to come in very slowly and doubt was
expressed today as to whether there
will be a majority of Democrats in town
in time for the caucus. There were to-
night not more than forty members of
the lower House in the city and less than
a score of Senators. Among the latter is
Senator Teller, the most recent arrival.
He comes fresh from the west ready to
take up the fight fer silver where he
dropped it at the close of last session. He
is emphatic in his opinion that the Sher-
man law cannot be repealed, at least
without some substitute, and says some
months will elapse before the law is
wiped from the books.
Senator Harris and Senator Voorhees,
chairman of the finance committee had a
long conference yesterday during which
| it is supposed they mapped out a plan for
the work OF that committee.

and found twenty indictments. a large
number of the indictments found were
secret, and bench warrants have been is
sued for the defendants. 1t is intimated
that some prominent people are among
the indicted, and some sensations may be
the result of arrests which will follow

Four indictments were found against
Oscar E. Hill, late cashier of the wrecked
Commercial National bank, charging him
with embezzlement, perjury, falsifying
| the records of the National bank and
making false reports and statements to

Never Do it Again.

George was small boy, as well be-
haved as small boys commonly are, but
impulsive. He had been allowed to sit in
his high chair at the family table, and
one day, having satisfied his hunger, ne
suddenly threw his knife with all his lit
tie strength across the table at his father.
Fortunately, it fell short, and no particu-
lar harm was done, but it seemed a fit op-
portunity for the inculcation of lesson
When the rest of the family arose he was
de aimed. and his mother assayed to I'M
press upon him the enormity OF his OF
fence. For while the effort seemed
hopeless, but at length there were signs
of appreciation, and, with quivering
lip, he cried out: ssGeorgie'll never
throw knife at papa again; throw fork. =

BECKWITH's RESIGNATION.
It is Said to Have Been rendered to Gov.
ernor Osborne.

RAwLINs, Wy, Aug. 5.-LSpecial. J.
1t has leaked out here today as positive
fact that Senator Beckwith has rendered
his resignation, to take effect, unless he
is seated, as soon after the converting OF
the Senate as his case can possibly be
acted upon. Should the matter daily
along as it did last winter, he proposes to
throw up the job and return home. 1t is
also whispered that he does not propose to
be used as a tool in advancing certain ap-
pointments which are now being urged.
1t is now believed here that Collector
New will be appointed in case Beckwith
urges the acceptance of his resignation OF
his resignation, as it is a well known fact
that Governor Osborne wishes to succeed
Carey or the appointee, and News ap-
pointment to the Senate would be sudden
death to his ambition.

SENTIMENT IN WASHINGTON.
The Outlook for silver Is Improving
Wonderfully.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. = Especial. i
The outlook for silver is regarded here as
better than week ago. The convention
in Chicago and its representative charac-
ter had good effect on Congressman ar
irving. The fact that Secretary Carlisle
was called to confer with Cleveland in
reference to his forthcoming message is
believed to mean that both the president
and secretary are doubtful as to the
policy of an unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act.
Members arriving are conservative and
the air is full of rumors that a fair com
promise will have to be arranged. The
financial condition is not believed to be
responsible for the present depression.
Tariff uncertainties are thought to be
responsible for the lack of confidence.
Carlisle is said to fear that the south and
west can't be in line for an unconditional
repeal and the vigorous expressions at
Chicago are causing many congressman
to hesitate before declaring themselves on
the currency question. The presidents
message will be awaited with much in
terest and anxiety.

FosToRIA, o., Aug. 2.-The statement
of Mr.. Gormley, assignee for Hon.

investments in Fostoria. He admits that
he utfered loss in other directions. The

A STRANGE CONDITION.

Fall River Mills Cannot Obtain Currency
on Drafts.
FALL RIVER. Mass, Aug 2.-The mill
situation has reached the strangest con-
dition ever known in the history of the
local cotton industry. This morning
several treasurers of the mills received
notices from the banks that there
was difficulty in paying checks
in currency Substantially the notices
say that the banks will hereafter honor
no checks in money but will endeavor SO
far as possible to take care of the deposits
already made. The effect of this action
will be widespread and may call for a
total suspension of operations on the part
of the mills.
The treasurers receiving checks daily
| from Boston. New York and Philadelphia
will find them of no value in procuring
currency to pay wages.

New YORK, Aug. 2.-This Afternoon
Secretary Carlisle lunched with Sub
Treasurer Jordan and ex-Secretary Fair
child, later he visited the sub-treasury

and said he had no opinion to express on
the financial situation or probable action

in favor of allowing national banks to
issue circulation to the par value of bonds
deposited as security. There is no likeh-
hood of any action by Congress on that
point at the extra session, however.
