Secretary Gresham Contemplates
New Chinese Treaty.
Wicked Yung Yu Flies His Flag and
Plots Confusion for the
White Devils.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-It is probable
that the State Department will soon enter
upon negotiations looking to the adjust
ment of American relations with China.
The enactment of the Geary law will be
regarded as an infraction of the existing
treaty. necessitating a new treaty. and il
is understood that Gresham desires to
make an extension Of trade relations and
privileges with China, the central feature
of his administration.
The Secretary is known to have little
faith in the future of our trade relations
with the Spanish-American republics and
mas made no recommendation for an ap-
prOpriati0n to maintain the bureau OF
American republics.
1t is known also that Yung Yu, the re-
Gently arrived Chinese envoy, comes ex-
Dressly charged with the negotiation of q
new treaty. The Chinese Government is
satisfied with the amendment TO the Geary
act and Is not anxious to extend the
privilege of immigration for their people.
but it is solicitous for their protection and
privilege S.
Chinese statesmen are said to regard
with favor the extention of trade relations
with the United States in preference to
those with Governments having a more ag-
gressive foreign policy. The coming nego-
tiation will embrace settlement of the ques-
ton Of immigration, treatment of Chinese
already here or who may hereafter come
legally, and the protection of American
citizens in China. AT the Chinese legation
1t is lntimated that the Minister is hopeful
OF changes in the treaty, but is not dis
posed 10 prematurely anticipate them.
Representative Mcguire says he has
never believed the Chinese would register
under the McCreary act He says that
during the past eleven years more than
half of the Chinese now here were snug
gled in.
These certainly could not register, and
the Chinese Six Companies will see that
the balance do not, for if the McCreary
act accom- plishes what is intended, the
companies occupation will be gone. Ma
guire believes that it is the intention of
the Chinese TO again make a test case and
take 1t before the Supreme Court when
the six months are up.
The Chinese flag which floats over the
new quarters of the Chinese Legation IS
the subject of comment and criticism in
diplomatic circles.
1t is the first time foreign flag waved
continuously over legation in Washing
ton. The Ministers from other countries
merely hoist their flags on fete days and
national holidays in their countries.
Carlisle has appointed Wong Chin Foo
Of New York Chinese inspector.

NO BRITISH PRoTECTORATE.
English Marines Would Only Pro-
tect English Lives.

HONOLULU. Dec. 5.-Two or three days
since there were many rumors of English
Intervention in case of an attempt at
restoration. or course, these emau ated
from rOyalist sources and probably from
those who coDgIegate about the British
Legation. The rumor that seemed to
tickle the restoration party the most and
obtain the greatest credence was one that
stated that in the event of LliuokalaniPs
restoration by United States marines and
their subsequent retirement TO the ships
after the act had been accomplished the
restored Queen would Immediately cast
herself Oh the protection of the British
Minister and that he would land marines
from the Champion to guard her sacred
person.
AS result of these rumors some promi-
nent British subjects called on Captain
Rookie of the Champion and asked what
would be done In case OF trouble on shore.
They were informed in substance that in
case of an outbreak on shore or an attack
by United States troops on the Provisional
Government the Champions men would
come on shore and form hollow square
about the British Legation or such other
place as Minister W0dehouse might choose
as his headquarters. Inside this square all
British subjects would be invited to come
for safety.
Owing 10 the small British force on hand
no sailors or marines would be available to
guard property. That would be left to the
American and Hawaiian Governments,
particularly 10 the former. which was said
in the British House of Commons to have
been Invested with that responsibility.
The Englishmen were further informed
that the British forces would have no other
object in coming ashore than the one
stated, and that such a matter as estab-
fishing protectorate had not been thought
Of 1t is said that the British residents
here are much chagrined over the above,
and the royalists are spondingly

They were all ready for doing any duty that

and had ample ammunition.

Honolulu, per steamer Arswa.

DAVIES OBJECTS.
He is Given a Caustic Answer by
Mr.. Hatch.

HONoL ULU, Dee. 5.-Theophilus II.
Davies, the philan hropic guardian and
generally-supD0sed future father-in-law Of
Princess kaiulani, published a letter in
Fiiday's Bulletin reflecting on the mass
meeting held on the Saturday previous
and finding fault with the language of the
speakers. lce-President Hatch replied
in the folio wing letter, which appeared in
the Star Of Saturday last, aud brings out
some new features of the situation which
should interest not only Cleveland and
Gresham but Americans generally.
Mr. Theodore II. Davies. who, notwithsta nd
ing his long business career in these Islands
and championship of the cause of Hawaiian
royalty. remains an Euglishman. aud can ad-
dress the citizens OF the Islands only as for
eIgner, laments the meeting on Saturday, the
23d, and particularly the language used on
that occasion. Sad. indeed. il would be If that
great potentate, 10 whom the Chicago man
prayed, or his subjects. should be moved TO
wrath tbereat. But would vengeance be
wreak ed equally upon the innocent and the
guilty? AT present Mr.. Gresham proposes to
visit the sins of the alleged wrOng-doer, Mr..
Stevens, upon the heads of those whom even
Mr.. Davies can hardly fad 1t in his conscience
10 condemn. Ii an American Minister Joined
with an outraged community In overthrowing a
Queen who was playing tyranI his action might
be wrong and call for punishment. Not be-
cause the act of owe throwing such Queen
would be- wrong, but because he as foreign
Minister, had no right TO help bring il about.
Indeed 1t is easy TO confuse issues. Though
the Minister'S action may be subject TO crlIl-
clsm that Of the citizens is not. Such citizen
and subjects as rose TO check the Queen in her
insane career committed no olIme Their
action was in every way CONNIE ndabe. Mr.
Davies agrees That the Queen should have been
resisted. We differ only in degree. Why
then. should these citizens be punished ana
by foreign power? If President Cleveland
feels his country has done a wrong let him
visit the penalty upon his own people. 1t is
dehelousiy fresh suggestion that the punish
ment for his countrys wrong should be visited
upon the citizens of Honolulu. Mr.. Davies
would think il unfair thar his estate Should
bear any portion of the penalty, If a money
one were imposed. His own Government
would see he was not directly muicted;
but Indirectly his business could not
escape bearing its proportion. Let President
Cleveland make full eOmpensa sation out OF his
own treasury, or by cession of territory. to
Liliuok alanl for the wrong for which be deems
his country liable. We will not oppose any
arbitration TO settle the extent OF that liability.
Beyond this, however, fail 70 see that we have
any question 10 submit to the decision of
tribunal Ell her OF statesmen or philanthropists,
though fully approaching the kind spirit which
prompted the suggestion. F. NJ HATCH

week visited Abbe Lemire. who was
among the Deputies injured by the explo-
sion of Vaillant's bomb. Able Lemire
took Vallants name and address and
gave him francs.
valiant almost admits that he drew lots
with other anarchists to decide who should
undertake the murderous work. Ten an
archsts were with him in the gallery.
They are in custody. All have spent
portion of their lives in England, showing
that the anarchists are affiliated together
and eventually will be found TO be subsi-
dized by patrons who have been generally
regarded as apostles of less militant doc
trines.
A man named Sordan was arrested this
Bourbon for expounding anarchists theo-
ries in company with another man who
escaped. A number of anarchist docu-
ments were found in Sordan's pockets.
Several foreign anarchists were expelled
from France to-day.
BERLIN. Dec. 12.-It is reported that the
Emperor has expressed loathing of the
perpetrators of the outrage committed at
Paris. and declared that IL is impossible
longer to do without draconic measures of
prevention.
About 500 anarchists. including many
women, met here yesterday evening. The
police took great precautions TO prevent
disorder, and 1t was noticed that the an
archists who attended the meeting were
despondent. as they fear the Paris outrage
will lead to International measures against
them.
To-day Hermann and WeisenteL two
speakers at last nights meeting, were ar
rested and condemned TO three months
Imprisonment for anarchist utterances Of
two months ago.
VIENNA, Dec. 12.-The Prague coercion
measures were debated in Reicbsrath to-
day, the young Czechs vigorously opposing
the measures and violently attacking the
Government.
Admissions to the public galleries has
been greatly restricted as result of pre-
cautions taken against outrages similar to
that in the French Chamber of Deputies.

late. He was accompanied by Attorney
II. n. Castle. the editor of the Hon olulu

erned entirely by the official communics-
tons from his Government. Both gentle
men are at the Occidental Hotel.

THE CALL.
Mr.. Thurston's attention was called to
the rumors Of the Provisional Govern
ment's anti-Cleveland attitude, but he
evaded the matter entirely, and positively
refused to enter. as he called it. into any
discussion of the situation. He had said
all he had wanted to say In his interview
at Chicago.
II came here so as to be on hand to
receive any communication the Hawaiian
Government might send" was all the ex-
planation he would deign to make. 'for
thought it much better to be here than on
the other side of the continent"
1t was supposed that Mr.. Thurston's
visit here carried with it an in tention to
sail to Honolulu in case the occasion for
the trip arises. However. he repeated
very firmly that until the arrival OF in
structions by the Oceanic he could not
make any announcement respecting his
movements.
Mr.. Thurston was seen at the Occidental

A Very Serious Charge Against
Paramount" Blount.
HONOLULU, Dec. 5.-One of the oldest
and best known residents of Honolulu is
Professor Curtis j. Lyons, who is in
charge Of the weather bureau here and is
acting as Assistant Survey General in
Commissioner Aexander's absence. A
quiet and unassuming gentleman. he is
the soul Of honor. aud on a question of
veracity his word would be taken by any
jury here fifty times over as against that of
Blount or any of his witnesses. The pro-
fessor feels aggrieved at some of Blounts
testimony, knowing it to be untrue, and
unbosoms himself in relation thereto 10
letter to the STAR. OF which the following
is copy:
Editor Star: In the report of Secretary
Gresham to the President, dated Octobe +
18th. occur the following sentences:
"Mr. Blount states that while in Homo
lulu he did not meet single anpexatioDist
who expressed his willingness to submit
the question TO vote Of the people,"
So far the statement is no doubt correct,
and Mr.. Blount knows very well that to
have expected the contrary to have been
the case would have been absurd, for il
majority had favored annexation there
was little need of revolution. But the
statement continues as follows:
"He did not talk with one on that SUBJ
ject who did not insist that if the islands
were annexed suffrage should be so re.
stricted as to give complete control to tha
foreigners, Or whites"
The writer had three lengthy interviews
with Mr.. Blount, the two later ones by in
vttation. At the second interview, on
April IL. after good deal of preliminary
conversation. MIR. Blount asked the oues-
tion. How would you govern the islands,
i. g.. in event of annexation, would you
admit of manhood suffrage?" that is, of
course, admitting the native Hawaiians.

so to say, crucial question, and replied,
"Yes, upon an American basis"

sion that the restricted Noble vote OF the
