make public all correspondence and
the report Of Mr.. Blount, the special
commissioner sent to Hawaii by PreSl-

Blount calls attention to his
reception by Minister Stevens,
who, he says, accompanied by
a committee from the AnneXa-
ton club, came on board the vessel
which brought me. He informed me
that this club had rented an elegant
house, well furnished and provided
with servants, and a carriage and
horses for my use; that / could pay for
this accommodation just what choose,
from nothing UP. He urged me very
earnestly to accept thd offer. de
elined it and informed him that |

of candor and truth could not be made
when the minds o. thousands OF Ia
