The Chronology of Blount's Conclusions.

The full text OF Mr. BLoUNr's communi-
cations to Secretary GRESHAM is before us.
The letters which the Paramount Commits
sioner wrote from Honolulu to his principals
in Washington. read continuously. show
most conclusvely for what purpose Mr..
BLoUNT went out to the islands. and In
what manner he conducted his pretended
Investigation there.
Three characteristics mark the BLoUNr
letters to GRESHAM throughout: Anxiety
TO assure Mr.. GRESHAM and Mr. CLEVELAND
that his report will embody the conclusions
desired and expected by the Adminlstra-
ton; petty jealousy OF the functions OF his
Paramount CoInmissonship; and an almost
comical impotence TO get homo again.
Mr.. BLoUNT reached Honolulu on March
20. and his first letter to GRESHAM is dated
April 6. Up to that day his time had been
occupied principally in social formallties:
-sines my arrival visitors are continually calling
upon me and MIf. BLoUST. hOst OF my time has been

From persons whose opinions were OPP
posed to annexation and to the Provisional
Government. Mr.. BLoUNT meant to say.
Testimony on that side OF the question was
what he was after; and no other seemed to
have any valuable significance.
1t was on April that the Commissioner
announced his intention to begin his In
qulry soon. On April 8. two days later. he
had reached the conclusion that to the " per-
Verted influence" OF United States troops
"the existing Government owes its being
and its maintenance" Substantially. that
was the whole question which Mr.. BLOUNT
had Ostensibly been sent out to investigate

had no reason for recording thus prems-
turely his conclusions except to inform the
Administration that he understood what
was expected Of him and was preparing to
report accordingly.

We denounce Republican protection as q

next Dec. 3. to meet the expenses incurred
