BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
Who and What the Leaders of the
Revolution Are.


The forcible overturning OF a Govern
ment and the establishment of new one in
its place is an act that is justified only by
the strongest reasons.
The leaders of the revolutionary move
ment In Hawaii have given the reasons for
their action In the report OF the citizens

ers of the movement will have great weight

sponsible political adventurers having no

looked upon with suspicion.
If, however, the leaders Of the movement
are the conservative, permanent residents

and professional men of responsible char

The following brief outline shows that the
leaders of the revolution are among the
most conservative men at the Islands:
They are permanent residents of the coun-
try, having their homes and property at
stake.
They represent all classes and nationali-
ties; they are the responsible business and
professional men OF the country; the repre-
sentatiyes OF the wealth aud brains and the
energy which has within the last fifteen
years developed the foreign trade of Hawaii

that any difficulty would arise upon the

The Provincial Government spent the
1871 and "a large part of the previous
night in perfeeting organization, and ad-
justing the wheels of the Government TO the
changed order. Meantime the ordinary
routine of Government work was going
ahead with but little break.
Up to the time of the departure Of the
Claudine all of the powers repre- sented in
the Hawaiian Islands excepting Great
Britain and Japan had recognized the new
Government.
The foreign powers represented at the
islands include the United States, Russia,
Germany. France. Austro-Hungary. Spain,
Portugal, Italy, besides most of the smaller
European States, Mexico, and several of the
South American republics.

THE QUEEN PROTESTS.
She Declares She Yields to the Power
of American TroOps.

After Issuing its orders the Provisional
Government sent for the late Ministers and
demanded possession Of the police station.
The Ministers returned to the palace and
consulted with the Queen.
A compromise proposition was made and
rejected, when the following protest was
noted:

the constitution OF the Hawaiian Kingdom,

The members of the Executive Council Of
the new Government are: S. b. Dole, De-
partment of Foreign Affairs; p. G. Jones,
Department Of Finance; j. A. King, De-
partment Of Interior; William G. Smith,
Attorney General.
Sanford S. Dole, the President of the
Hawaiian Provisional Government and ad-
ministering the Department of Foreign At
fairs, Is 4S years of age, born in Homo lulu
OF American parentage, was educated at
Punahou College in Honolulu, taking fin
ishing course at Williams College. He
studied law in Boston, was admitted to the
Massachusetts bar in 1869, returned shortly
after to Honolulu, where he soon became a
leading practitioner, which position he held
until his elevation TO the bench in 1887.
Elected representative to the Legisla-
lures OF 1884 and 1886, he was the leader of
the opposition to the extravagance and cor
ruption which finally precipitated the revo-
luton of 1887. He was a member of the exec
utive council of the revolutonists of 1887,
but withdrew before the animation, being

radical action then taken. After that he
was appointed a Judge of the Supreme
Court in 1887, which position he has filled
with the greatest credit to himself and
satisfaction to the people, until he resigned

Full particulars OF the revolution In
Hawaii. which we're published in THE CALL
ef yesterday, caused the greatest excitement
throughout the city. more particularly
among the business community.
The foreign residents had been smarting
ever since Queen Liliuokalani ascended the
shrore from abuses which they bore with a
patience that was, in the circumstances,
remarkable.
Owing TO frequent cOnsplracies capital
was paralyzed and business was practically
in s stagnant condition.
The excessive corruption of the last Leg
islature, coupled with the passage Of the
lottery bill. which aroused q storm
Of indignant protest from the religious
element In the community, and the
ousting out of Office Of Cabinet which
was universally acknowledged to be the
sblest that Hawaii ever had, brought mat
ters to a turning point.
Possibly matters might have been per-
mitted to go on for some time longer with
out drastic measures for reform being
adopted had it not been for the folly Of the
e1-Queen.
She. knowing the temper Of the foreign
residents. foolishly endeavored to force up
on the people a constitution which would
have concentrated the sole governing power
N her own hands and those of her native
advisers.
In other words. the steps she proposed
70 take were precisely what caused the
