HLouNT TALKS.
Why Our Envoy to Honolulu Evidently
Has His Mind Made Up.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22-Just be-
fore sailing for Hawaii Monday, Com
missioner Blount had this to say regard
ing the object of his trip:
1.-THE public seems to have the idea
that am loaded to the guards with in
structions, whereas the plain truth is
that have no instructions from Presi-
dent Cleveland or and one else. Ny
mission is to investigate the whole ques-
ton of annexation; to determine the
sentiment of foreigners as well as
possible from facts, whether it would
be advantageous TO this country TO an
mex the islands. My mind is free from
any prejudice and am prepared to give
an impartial hearing to all sides.
THE cutter Rush will be at my dis
posal and in it / will visit the other
islands, after completing my work at
Honolulu. OF course the foreign senti-
ment can be ascertained fully at Homo
lulu, but the natives of the other
islands may have very different views
from the Kanakas of Honolulu.
81 am ignorant of the Hawaiian Ian
guage, but with trustworthy inter-
prefer it ought not to be difficult to get
at the real sentiment of the natives.
What the additional instructions from
Washington may contain remains to
be seen. No question in recent Ameri-
can politics so sadly needs the light of
pure truth thrown upon it as this
Hawaiian question, for it has been
muddled by appeals to sentiment and
prejudice"
Mr. Blonnt thought that two months
would suffice, although he said he
should not sacrifice thoroughness to
haste. When told that the voyage
would take eight days he smiled and
said drily, "It's an important question
whether we want any territory that it
takes a steamer more than week to
reach. That is mighty far away, in my
estimation"

THE PANAMA TRIALS.
An Eloquent Appeal Made In Behalf OF M
Beral.

An Eloquent Appeal Made In Behalf OF NJ.
Beral.
PARIS March 22.-The arguments OF
counsel in the Panama trial were con-
tinued Monday. M. Rousset delivered
an eloquent plea in behalf of M Beral,
senator from the department of Lot,
who is accused of having received a
bride of 49, 200 francs from the late
Baron Reinach to vote for the lottery
bonds bill. M. Rousset maintained in
his argument that the money had been
paid to M. Beral for services as an en-
gineer in various railway and mining
enterprises. and for technical advice in
connection with such enterprises.
The counsel for M. Gobron, deputy
for Ardennes from 1858 to 1889, charged
with receiving bride of 90, 900 fruncs
from Baron Reinach to vote for the
Panama lottery bill, argued that Cob
ron had received the 20, 600 francs as
the price of eighty shares in the tan
ming company which he had trans
ferred to M. Reinach, and that the pay
ment had nothing to do with Gobron's
duties as deputy. The trial was then
ad iourned

ONLY FAIR PLAY.
That Is All the Hawaiian Princess Asks
For.

New YORK, March % Princess
Kaiulani, of Honolulu, was the guest
of Sorosis, Monday. That society gave
a luncheon at the Hotel Savoy at 10
o'clock.
Mr.. Davies said Monday evening
would be spent at the hotel He did
not think that the princess would care
to accept any other invitation before
she goes away. She and her friends
will leave on the steamship Majestic
for Europe Wednesday morning. The
princess announced Monday morning
that she would give out farewell ad-
dress to the public before she sails She
will probably prepare it. Mr.. Davies
said Monday night and give it to the
press Tuesday morning. "All she wants
is fair play" said Mr. Davies, 'and
Uncle Sam will give her that"

The Steamer Alexander Is Going to Play
Desperate skin Game.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-Advices
just received from Behring sea show
that the steamer Alexander, which left
here early this year, is already in the
forbidden waters. This steamer cleared
from San Francisco for Hakodate, Ja-
pan. January 25. She carried full

dash for the rool1eries, overpower the
small guard, and then slip south with a
full CARGO of skins

NARROW ESCAPE

Wheeis-The Secretary Came as Near
losing His Life as Ever Man Did
Without Receiving Bodily Injury.

WASHINGTON. March % 1T was only
by an inch that vacancy in President
Cleveland's cabinet was averted Mon
day. Secretary Carlisle came as near
to losing his life as a man ever came
without receiving bodily injury. About
o'clock the secretary started from the
treasury department for his home,
three or four blocks distant, for lunch
con. On his way he had to cross Fiji
teenth street at the intersection with
New York avenue, which has long been
known as the most dangerous corner in
the city. Here the cable cars sweep
around the corner at rapid speed, and
many accidents have occurred there
AS Secretary Carlisle started across the
track he was in brown study His
eyes were on the ground, and he APP
peared to be entirely oblivious of his
surroundings A cable train at that
moment was coming around the corner.
There was great danger that the secre-
tary could not get out of its way.
The gripman rang his bell violently, the
passengers in the grip-car stood up and
shouted, and the people on the street
set up shout of warning. Secretary
Carlisle did not hear them, or he did
not seem to realize that they were en-
in the nick of time passer-by sprang
at Carlisle, seized him around the waist
and dragged him off the tracks. The
front end of the cable car brushed his
clothing in passing

New YORK, March 22.-It Is reported
in navy circles in Brooklyn that after
the review the custom of detailing yes
sells to participate in celebrations in
harbors along the coast will be discon'
tinued Secretary Herbert is reported
to have told several friends during his
visit to Brooklyn that he was opposed
TO using u. s. vessels for the purpose OF
display One of Mr. Herbert's CHIEF
objections to harbor displays is the
great expense connected with them.
On such occasions it is usually neces-
sary to give the vessels a thorough
overhauling and in addition TO that
there is the cost of powder for firing
salutes.
Navy officers are generally well
pleased with the prospect of being re-
lieved from the task of being on exhibi'
ton and hope that the change Of policy
will make it possible for them to save
something from their salaries. Hereto
fore the officers have been compelled to
pay so much for entertaining guests
from places they visited that they have
had to shave their other expenses TO
make both ends meet
