were definitely committed to the
policy of annexation, and it was
expected that the treaty would be
ready for submission to the Senate
in a day or two. The form of gov
eminent proposed by the treaty is
supposed to be based upon that of
the district of Columbia. The
treaty viii not need to be sent
to the House of Representatives,
though it will necessitate financial
legislation on the part of that
body.
It would be premature to COM
ment upon the terms Of this Treaty.
1t viii be time enough to do that
when we know just what they are.
The main thing is to secure as
speedily as possible, union with the
United States of America. This
union must be in the first instance
either under the forms of Territorial
government, or after the analogy of
the District of Columbia. Which
ever form is best suited to the ext
gencies of the situation will be the
one adopted. A few years of exper-
fence will be needed before it will be
possible to determine with intelli-
gence the precise relations which
Hawaii should assume toward
the Union. One thing is GER
tain. That relation will be
consonant with the principles
of justice and popular liberty
which lie at the basis of American
institutions, and which will not be
abandoned now, after they have
been tried in the furnace of a
hundred years. There is no need
for any solicitude On this score.

STEVENS COURSE APPROVED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Secretary
Foster made public to-day the full
text of the dispatch announcing the
Hawaiian revolution received by him
from Minister Stevens on the 26th of
January by telegraph from San
Francisco and the answer to be sent
to the Minister.
The information contained in the
dispatch sent by Stevens has already
been made public, but the reply of
Secretary Foster is here given for
the first time. 1t is addressed to
John L. Stevens, United States Min
lister, Honolulu, he says:
Your dispatch, telegraphed from
San Francisco, announcing revolu
ton and the establishment of Pro
visional Government was received to-
day. Your course in recognizing,
unopposed, the de facto Government
appears to have been discreet and
in accordance with the facts.
The rule of this Government has uni
formly been to recognize and enter
into relations with any actual Gov
eminent in full possession of the
effective power with the assent of the
people. You will continue to recog-
nize the new Government under such
conditions.
1t is trusted that the change, be.
sides conducting to the tranquility
and welfare Of the Hawaiian Islands,
will tend to draw closer the intimate
ties Of amity and common interests
which so conspicuously and neces-
sarily link them to the United States.
You will keep in constant commu-
nication with the commander Of the
United States naval forces at Homo
lulu, with view to acting, If need
be, for the protection OF the interests
and property Of American citizens
and aiding in the preservation Of
good order under the changed condi-
ton reported.
Secretary Foster also gave out for
publication q statement defending
the landing Of the United States
marines at Honolulu.
STEVENS AND BLAINE.
AUGUSTA, Me, Feb. lit is said
here that Minister Stevens course in
establishing an American protector
ate temporarily over the Hawaiian
Islands is in line with the policy
worked out by Blaine. The latter
knew revolution was likely to occur
at any time. He was thoroughly &C
quainted with Stevens, having high
estimation of his ability and knowing
he was able to cope with any emer-
gency. Through Blaine's influence
at Washington Stevens received his
appointment.

THE PANAMA TRIALS.

The news of the conviction of
Ferdinand de Lesseps by French
Court, and his sentence to five
years Imprisonment besides the
payment of a fine, is startling and
shocking. Count de Lesseps is an
old man, and the term is one which
he would never survive. 1t is prob
able that the sentence will be COM
muted, if an effort to obtain his
pardon fails. In any case his rep
utation is ruined, and his long and
honorable career ends in disgrace.
His. son Chas. de Lesseps and M.
Eiffel were also convicted and SEN
fenced.
The result of these trials proves
.at any rate that the Courts
are not in collision with
fraud and that the criminal
proceedings of the company, widely
ramifed as they have been, have
not prevented the bringing of the
criminals to justice. Every friend
of free institutions sympathizes
deeply with France in this trial
and hopes to see the republic
come out from its trial unscathed.
Americans do not sympathize less
sincerely because they are permit
ted to rejoice that no scandal of
anything like this magnitude has
ever compromised the character of
the national government.

IN REPLY TO COLBURN.
ThurSfOn Dissecfs and Denies
the Conspiracy Stories.

the Conspiracy Stories.
WASHINGTON, Feb. o. This even
ing Commissioner Thurston, with the
consent of his colleagues, made a
statement in reply to letter from J.
f. Colburn, ex-Minister of the In
terror of Hawaii. In it he says that
the charge that the whole movement
was a pre-conceived conspiracy in
favor of annexation has already been
denied by the Commissioner, but as
Colburn reiterates it, he thinks more
specific denial should be made. The
uprising, he says, took place at the ex-
press request of the Cabinet, of which
Colburn is member, in response to q
call from the Cabinet to the citizens
to support them with arms against the
demands of the Queen, which demands
she was prepared to enforce with the
entire military and police force of the
kingdom, and after she had threatened
the lives of the members of the Cab
met themselves. If there was any
conspiracy to precipitate matters in
the interest of annexation then the
Queen and Cabinet were the principal
members of the conspiracy, for the
Queen was the one who initiated the
action and the Cabinet first requested
the people to take up arms against the
Queen.
Thurston proceeds at length to give
further facts to disprove the conspira-
cy theory, and says there was no pub
lie acknowledgment of the Provision
al Government by the American Min
lister until after the abdication of the
Queen and the surrender of the bar.
racks and the police station, together
with the forces and munitions of war
therein.
GAS to the further action of the
Provisional Government in requesting
protectorate and the course of the
United States Minister acting in COM
pliance Herewith and establishing
such protectorate pending the nego-
tiations in Washington" Thurston
continues, 'T would say, having every
confidence in the men composing the
Provisional Government, that / do
not believe they would have taken
this action unless they deemed it nee
essary for the preservation of life and
property. The protectorate in no man
ner interferes with the regular pro-
gress of public business under the

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE Hawaiian
question is not exciting great interest
here. Is is understood that the I'M
perial Foreign Office will be willing
to support an American protectorate
over Hawaii on condition that Ger
many receives some compensation in
Samoa. The present situation in Sa-

is the opinion of the Foreign Office
that the Hawaiian affair offers a good
opportunity to obtain new and per-
manent arrangements as regards Sa-

PRESIDENT HARRISON IS
PLEASED.
Minister Stevens Course Has
3 His APPROVAL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-President
Harrison is pleased at the action of
Minister Stevens in hosting the
Stars and Stripes over the Islands.
The President has favored protec-
torate from the first, and he feels
that though there might have been
opposition in Congress to such a
course, no American would wish to
take any backward step at this time.
As he expressed it to day to one of
his visitors {: "There might be some
hesitation about hosting the flag in
a foreign land, but once up no one
will ever suggest that it shall be
hauled down."
Secretary of the Treasury Charles
Foster was the only member of the
Cabinet who would talk. He said
Stevens instructions were of such
character they covered the declara-
ton of protectorate il he thought
such a course advisable, and no doubt
he would be sustained in all he had
done.

MORE NEWS.

The news received from the Uni
ted States by the steamer China
more than confirms the high hopes
to which previous intelligence had
given birth. The wave of senti-
ment in favor of annexation which
swept over the United States after
the arrival of the Claudine ran so
high that q subsistence would have
been no more than natural. Moth
ing of the kind, however, seems to
have taken place; the general feel
ing remains as it was and is con-
stantly making converts. The
Washington papers, writes one OF
the Commissioners, are practically
unanimous in favor of annexation,
and this is the attitude of the lead
ing journals of the East as well as
of the West. The Christian Union
writes of the situation with eau
ton, but is practically in line with
the rest. 1t makes the following
citation from General S. G. Arm
strong, which may be taken as a
concise expression of the views
which the paper itself supports:
The recent Hawaiian revolution is the
logic of events, the result of irresponsi-
Bile power in bad and incompetent
hands. The Queens restora-
ton to power would mean the destruction
of the progressive element in Hawaiian
life, and the collapse of all hope for that
people. The situation is now most criti-
cal. Great commercial developments are
expected from the completion of the
Nicaragua Canal. Enormous prospec-
tive American interests are at stake. The
United States must now secure control
of Hawaii, the most important strategic
point in the Northern Pacific Ocean, or
England will get it. The Commission
sent from the Hawaiian Islands to bring
about an annexation to the United States
is composed of most high-minded and
estimable men. whom have long known
personally. Mr.. Dole, the Provisional
President, is one of the best of men.
American people, capital, ideas. and in
huence largely predominant there. The
population is a curiously mixed one,
containing many Asiatics hard to assimi-
late, making the situation difficult,
indeed desperate. American missiona.
ries were instrumental in the redemption
and building up of Hawaii Its
political redemption is now as much
an American duty as its moral
redemption ever was. Great interests
are at stake. The United States
Government should act with vigor anC
promptly annex the Hawaiian Islands.
