SENATOR GRAY GIVES HIS OPINION.


Senator Gray, of Delaware,
paid his first visit to Washington
to-day since the adjournment of
Congress. Mr.. Gray is second on
the Senate committee on foreign
relations, which will deal largely
with the future policy of the
United States IN reference to
Hawaii. This is what Mr.. GRAY
said relative to the present atti-
tude of the American Govern
ment to the islands: Without
assuming to be familiar with the
contents of Commissioner .Blount' 5
report and his recommendations
as to our policy contained there
in, [ should say, as the evidence
strongly indicates, that the
Queen of the Hawaiian Islands
was deposed by the stand taken
by Minister Stevens, in con
nivance with a coterie of foreign
residents and others and with
the aid of United States marines,
who were accepted as representa-
tives of the authority of the
United States. The deposition
of the Queen may, therefore. be
regarded as the result of the use
of force or policy totally at
variance with the democratic
policy. The restoration of the
Queen, it seems to me. if brought
about by any intervention Of the
United States through a vote of
the islanders, who are much
more interested in their govern
nent than we can possibly be.
can be the only policy which can
bring about eventually the annex
alton of the islands or the estab-
lishment of protectorate,
whichever should be decided up
on, and this policy. when once
established and which is to be
established by the Hawaiians
themselves, is the only policy

The ". G. Hall, yesterday.

death of J. f. Gilfllan, who

temporary Interment. The fune-
raj, takes place this afternoon, at

Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-11-29

Mr.. Samuel Damon, the Min
lister of Finance, whom the Star
doesn't dare to abuse furnished
Mr.. Blount with exactly as much
of the inside history of the revol-
ution as Mr.. Wundenberg did
and all honor is due to him.
Mr.. Wundenberg has never sig
nified that he was in favor of
annexation and he answered, we
presume, willingly the ques-
tions of Mr.. Blount. Mr..
Damon on the contrary was I'M
willingly injuring his cause. but
he was not prepared to sacrifice
his high reputation for integrity
by telling what was not true even
if lies could have helped his
cause. Mr.. Damen has once
more proven himself an ornament
in oar community. If the an
nexation party had only a few
more men like him the outlook
for their cause might be very
different to-day.

Ex.Minister Stevens Tells
More Lies.

IDEA 1Or the AuNeItlStI W nave
published a series of lies which
have appeared in the kennebec
Journal over the signature of
John L. Stevens, because it can
not fail to further emphazise the
corruptness and righteousness of
the man who caused the trouble
in Hawaii nei. No fairminded
man who was in Honolulu at the
time of the revolution can endorse
Mr.. Stevens statements. Even
high members of the Provisional
Government like Damon and
Soper have in their affidavits to
Minister Blount given the direct
lie to the preposterous assertions
of Stevens. Mr.. Damon stated
to Blount that he called at the
Station House and found
it so we'll guarded and
fortified that he considered it
impossible to capture it without
the assistance of United States
forces. The cruel disappoint-
ment of the old ex-diplomat who
finally has been shelved has evil
IDENTIFY deprived him of his me-
mory. He says in regard to the
occupation of the Arion Hall by
Boston troops. that the Com
mittee of Public Safety and the
supporters of the Provisional
Government had no more re-
sponsibility than Secretary
Gresham himself. :" The facts
are that the Hall in question was
obtained by a member of the
Committee - Mr.. McChesney;
that an attempt was made to get
the Opera House, situated next
to the Arion Hall, from Mp. W.
NJ. Giffard who refused; that the
lessee of the Arion Hall Mr.. Jos.
NJ. Poepoe called on Minister
Stevens and protested against
the troops occupying the Hall and
was answered my good man we
are there now aud we are going
to stay there" These facts have
slipped the vicious mind of the
failure and he further
more by his next statements con-
firms the accusations against him
that he was a CO conspirator of
the revolutionists by stating that
from Saturday afternoon Janu-
airy IA, to January 10 there was
no government in Honolulu
except In the united and
5 e f-p o S So d attitu d e
of citizens. And yet he
communicated officially with
Her Maiesty's government and
received the ministers in their
official capacity up till January
the 18th at about ) p. m. What
Internal rot to say that there was
no Government. He further on
says. that when he did recognize
the provisional government every
thing was in their possession and /
hat the Station House was sur
rendered. and at the mercy of the I
Provisional Government. And
ret Mr.. Blount has the affidavits
Of Minister Damon, of Colonel 4
Soper, of Dole, of officers of the 1
Boston that the Provisional Gov I
srnment's forces never went I
near the Station House or tie

action of the islanders them
selves Is not this in perfect
accord with the democratic doc
trinel Does il not permit the
rule of the majority In other
words. the action Of Minister
Stevens was entirely unwarranted,
and the policy established by
him must be reversed before the
United States will have a clear
way to declare its permanent
policy toward the islands. Ii
the islanders themselves, after
the Hawaiian Government returns
to its first principles. shall de-
clare in favor of annexation or a
protectorate, this government
can act in perfect accord with its
established principles, and not
until then. 1t seems to me,
therefore, that the present ad-
ministration is acting upon the
only lines within It's power to
act. As to the adverse criticism
which the administration is re-
ceiving upon what Is generally
accepted as its policy toward
Hawaii, l should say that it
comes mostly from republicans
and republican newspapers, who
can only see a reversal of policy
established by a republican,
Minister Stevens. Some demo-
cratic newspapers. which have
never agreed with the administra-
ton on the Hawaiian question,
may also interpose objections to
the policy on this issue as at
present outlined
REPRESENTATIVE OATES AGREES.
Representative Oates said that
the question presented in the
report of the Secretary of State
was one of the law as well as OF
fact. Certainly this Government
would not be justified in taking
any steps toward the restoration
of the Queen if we were not
directly responsible for her over
throw. He opposed annexation'
but the proposition to restore the
Queen presented a different ques-
ton and he was not prepared to
discuss it beyond this point.
JUDGE TURNER CONCURs.
Judge Turner of Georgia, who
is one of the best lawyers in the
House, said that he early oppos-
ed the annexation of Hawaii and
was inclined to agree generally
with what the Secretary of State
said in connection with the Ha-
wAiian affair.
REPRESENTATIVE BOATNER WISHES
THE WRONG CORRECTED.
Representative Boatner of
Louisiana said he did not think
this Government had any right
to interfere in the former Gov
of Hawaii, and if it ap-
peared to be the case that the
Queen was deposed with the
assistance of this Government,
we should do everything in our
power to correct the wrong.

remembering that he had threatened her
life many times, was afraid To retire.
Fish went away and soon returned tell
ing her that he loved her and no harm
would befal her so long as he was near.
