Crisp" and it was matter OF comment

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Representative

spondent tom ght that he had his res0lu-
ton investigating the San francisco P3st-
office lot purchase already prepared, but

sent the resolution asking that committee
of inves tIgation be appointed. He Will at
the same time make speech in which h.
will tell all he believes and knows about

IL am pretty well posted about this
matter" said he to a CALL correspondent
tonight. .'Some of the Calfornians say
that | had better attend TO my Alabama
affairs and let California-ab which L
know nothing-alone; but they will find
out to their cost that | know a good deal,
enough to make it decidedly uncumfort-
able for some of them. l have been getting
stacks of newspaper clippings. which i
have preserved, and l have received let
tiers that have given me some inside tips
other, and whenever they commence that
you NAV look out for sure conviction. To
speak plainly. believe that there is now
enough evidence on file in the Treasury
Department to make out a case against the

do you think it will be necessary to
send a commission of Congress TO San
Francisco" Bankhead was asked.
NO." said he. but we will summon
some witnesses, but not great many. l
think that three witnesses that
l know will be sufficient, and we will!
soon bring them on here if the House
acts favorabiy on my resolution. Yes
! have understood that Huntington
has been taking some interest in the mat
ter, of course. for his railroad seems to have
a finger in every pie, but will say right
now that there shall be no Postoffice build
ing erected in San Francisco until that lot
business is investigated"
''if it comes out that there was no fraud
connected with the purchase will you be
willing to extend the limit of cost as de-
sired by the San Francisco people?"
No. sir, don't think will. for $780,
600 is enough"
Are you aware that the majority of the
Commissioners who commended the pur-
chase of the Mission-street lot were Demo-
Gratis appointed by Cleveland?"
At this Mr.. BanE head looked a little
doubtful, as if this Information might
have been news to him, nevertheless he
answered: II don't care whether they
were Democrats or Republicans. The in
vestigation will go ahead. let chips fall
where they may"

The Executive and Advisory Councils

ment, and, it is said, without opposition.
Two supplementary bills will follow; one
granting inalienable titles with reverslon
to the Government, and the other granting
titles through system Of perpetual leases,
with n privilege of purchase on Govern
ME appraisement.
Nc further STEPS have been taken in the
Creighton apology matter, growing out OF
the cane presentation to Claus Spreckrls
by four prominent rOyaiists. 1t is thought
that Minister Blount will let the matter
drop, as il is understood that he thinks
those participating have been sufficiently
punished by the public condemnation fol-
lowing the presentation.

soon resume ubic works in the harbor
and else where. Perhaps the first improve
works to increase the Honolulu water
supply.
The personal taxes for the year are be-
ginning to flow INTO the treasury. They
are being paid promptly, and the collec-
tons for July are more than double the
amount usually collected in that month
This morning Minister Blount was
shown clipping from an American paper
announcing that he would be the admin
tratlon candidate for Governor of Georgia.
The only comment he made was that he
knew nothing about the matter. In answer
to a question he stated that he expected to
be relieved OF his charge here soon, and
added that he hoped he would hear some
thing definite by the steamer due here
from San Francisco on August 8. When
asked if he intended to proceed further in
the Creighton al ology case he referred the
matter 10 the Hawaiian Foreign Office.
with the intlmation that President Dole
would say whatever was necessary to be
made public.
Upon the arrival of the steamer Aus
tralia. due August 9. the Government eX-
poets sufficient arms aud uniforms TO
equip 400 of the National Guard. A pub
lie display of this force will be made
shortly afterward. The men are already

the City Of New York will not arrive here
until next Wednesday or Thursday. Au-
gust or 3. She was due by schedule last
