BLOUNT'S HAWAIIAN REPORT.
He Says the Sentiment on the Island Is
Against Annexation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. % Secretary
Gresham yesterday made public all
the correspondence between the secre-
tary of state and James III. Blount,
commissioner and, later, minister to
the Hawaiian islands Mr.. Gresham,
in giving this voluminous printed mat
ter to the press, explained that it in
cluded everything connected with Mr..
Blount's mission to Hawaii with the
exception of some statistical tables
relating to the islands The matter
consists of three parts, the first be-
ginning with a copy of the instruc-
1893, prior TO his departure from
Washington for Honolulu, and the
last part ending with brief letter
under date of July, 81. 1898, in which
he takes his congo as follows:
''The condition of parties in the
islands is one of quiescence. The ac-
ton of the United States is awaited
by all as a matter of necessity. This
condition, it can be assumed, will re-

contingency no sudden movement is
likely to occur. The present govern
ment can on y rest on basis of mill
tary force, possessed of most of the
arms in the islands, with a small
population to draw from to strengthen
it, Ultimately it will fall without
fail 1t may preserve its existence
for d year or two, but no longer"
In concluding his report Mr.. Blount
says: That u deep wrong has been
done the queen and the native race
by American officials pervades the ma
tive mind. and that of the queen, as
well as a hope for redress from the
United States, there can be no doubt.
Indeed, who could have supposed that
the circumstances surrounding her
could have been foreseen and sane
toned deliberately by the president
of the United States? Her uniform
conduct and the prevailing statement
among the natives point to her belief
as well as theirs that the spirit of
justice on the part of the president
would restore her crown -

Home Rule controversy, not unworthy of the
author of "England's Case against Home

Constitution for the whole United Kingdom
and, secondly to show that this newConstitution
must injure beth England and Ireland and open
open "a constitutions revolution, and both of
these propositions are established with a COM
handing force and t~horoughness of argument.
Professor Dicey disolaims all attempts at
novelty of statement and any intention to dis
cuss the Bill in detail, but in both points he
does himself less than justice. Even those
Unionists who have followed the controversy
most closely must DO struck by the fresh
power which familiar arguments assume as
they are marshalled in these pages, while
they will meet here and there throughout the
volume many and pregnant criticisms on par
ticular points in the Bill. The whole book is

with force, clearness, and de ably moderation

Underneath the white-crossed, Dlood-rsd

sold to the United States, and which, the
Senate refusing to ratify the sale, still remains
in the hands of the original owner, Denmark.

would advise every one visiting The Worlds

ROYALTY AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Mrs. Cleveland, during her next
soiourn at the White House, will very
likely be called upon to entertain a
royal highness as a guest. lnfanta
Isabel of Spain, sister of the late
King Alphonso of that country, and
aunt of the present Infant, has been
appointed to represent the latter at
the Worlds Exposition. She will
visit Washington. The members If
the Spanish Legation are already
looking forward to the visit and have
taken for her an option upon suite
of rooms at one of the leading hotels.
These she will occupy part of the
time ii she is not at the White House
during her entire sojOurn at the CAPT
tai. That she will be the guest Of
President and Mrs. Cleveland part of
the time is taken for granted.
There would be no reason to sup
pose that she would divide her time
between the White House and hotel
we're it not for the action of the
members of the Spanish Legation in
looking up quarters for her at a hotel.
Perhaps these gentlemen knew that
the White House could not accommo-
date the entire retinue of the Infanta
and have acted upon that knowledge.
That Mrs. Cleveland will be equal to
the entertainment of the Infanta there
is no doubt. She is very fine speci
men Of American wonanhood, which
as history tells is equal to almost any
emergency. The InfaRta is AZ year;
of age. She will be the second roya

A POINT FROM NEW YORK.

The caustlc comments made by tile

presence and action during the meet.
ing of the electoral college are not
forgotten.
1t is asserted that Croker repeated
the condemnation to several political
friends at the governors reception
and said bluntly that Hill had done
the Democratic party a deadly injury.
However, this may be, it is certain
that the machine magnates have had
serious difficulty among themselves.
How far the resentment OF Croker to-
wards Senator Hill is likely to go no
one cares to predict, but il ia taken
for granted by the politicians that
this big combination is broken By the
senator.
They also believe Murphy will re-
fuse to be made tool Of by his asso-
ciates IN the United States Senate. 1t
is said New York intends to honestly
support Cleveland and that policy
Of pacifieatlon will be adopted toward
him from now on by Tammany. It
looks very much as If the future ac-
Lion Of Murphy is understood and in
any further opposition to Cleveland
the senior senator from New York
would get but little backing.

PoPULIsT leaders in the state held
q meeting at Boise this week to plan
for close organization and to make
ready for the campaign in 1894. That
was good party move. That was
politics. But the meeting was secret,
and, it has leaked out that one object
in view was to organize the state into
the Industrial League, a secret order,
like the Alliance League organized in
the South.
If this be true the Populist party
in Idaho will never see the dawn of
1894. The people will have no secrets
in politics. The campaign of educa-
ton is the winning campaign of this
day and generation, and there can be
but little education behind the blinds.
A secret organization may give sat
isfaction to the leaders seeking their
own advancement, but it will fall
short of satisfying the masses who
are hungering for information and
whose daily cry is !: Turn on the
light and let US see where we are at. .
