BIOunf and Hawaii.
4 dispatch from Washington, dated
the 21st, says: With the arrival of
Minister BlOunt in Washington with
in the next few days diplomatic bust
ness between the United States and
Hawaii will be conducted by BlOunt
and by Thurston, minister OF the Pro-
visional government to this country.
Routine matters and communications
directed to the Provisional govern
ment from the state department will
be transmitted through Severance, the
United States consul-general at Homo
lulu. Minister Blount is still invested
with the title and functions OF COM
missioner, and he will act in dual
capacity.
The cruiser Philadelphia will ar
rive at Honolulu about the mid
die OF September. The Yorktown
arrived at Rio de Janeiro Saturday
and the Charleston at Barbados yes
terday. One of these vessels will be
sent 90 represent the United States in
Blount reached Att lIta, Ga, on the
oBth, and then it was developed that
he is 10 be the administration candi-
date for governor. A dispatch on this
subject says: Mr.. BlOuCG was asked
soon after reaching his home in this
city about his views of the immediate
political future in Georgia. "Oh,
WE'LL" he said, al have been out of
the world for five months and am
away behind on the political situation
in this country, especially in Georgia,
as haven't been getting the Georgia
papers, consequently i know nothing
of the state of affairs here now" The
fact of the matter is that Mr.. Blount
was summoned back from Honolulu
in order to be the administration cam
didate for the governorship of Georgia.
Georgia put up the hardest fight
against the denomination of Mr..
Cleveland of any of the Southern
states. He secured bare majority of
the delegates. He attributes this hos
tility toward himself to the politicians
of the state, and it was to spite them
that he selected Hoke Smith for the
cabinet, a man who was never in the
swim with the politicians. Recent
Governor Northern, who aspires to
the senatorship, came out vigorously
against President Cleveland's mes
sage. AS Northen's success for the
senate depends upon the deal made for
the governorship,t the administration is
lust now playing a card which may
knock Eiin out. The administration
ticket will be Blount for governor ana
Hoke, Smith for the senate. The issue
~, The canvass for delegates to the
democratic convention will be Cleve-
land and anti-Cleveland. The people
of Georgia, in every convention held,
have declared for the free and I'M
limit al coinage of silver. Cleveland
believes he can carry them the other
way. and that is the question which
remains to be solved
The Financial Crisis.
On the 2Sth ult. the house passed
the Wilson bill repeating the pur-
chasing clause in the Sherman bill
nv vote of 24O to 10. The amend
ment for free coinage at is to was
defeated by a vote of 90 to ia; IL to
I was defeated 240 to 100; Is TO l was
defeated 239 to l02; 10 to l was de-
feated 232 to los; 20 to l was defeated
222 to 119.
The bill now goes to the Senate. 1t
ia not believed that unconditional
repeal can pass that body.
Labor demonstrations continue in
New York, Chicago, Newark, y. J.,
and other places. The cry is work or
bread.
California the white raIsin grape
pickers have been driving out some
Chinese by terrorism, and in San Fran
cisco there is daily parade of the un-
employed.
State Bank Commissioner Brieden-
thai of Arkansas has issued a circular
TO the State banks declaring that in
view of the fact that the New York
CITY banks refuse to pay drafts, eX-
cept in clearinghouse certificates,
which are not lawful money, they APP
pear to be insolvent, and he points
ont that the State banking law re-
ouires q reserve of 20 per cent. of de-
posits, half of which may consist oil
balances due from solvent banks. Not
considering the New York banks sol
vent he rules that the Kansas BANKS
must not hereafter count as part oil
their legal reserve more than per
cent. in money due from New hork.
He allows this much only to enable
the banks to supply the local demand
for New York exchange. Briedenthal
saws the circular is issued for the pro,
lection of Kansas banks. Local.
bankers fear serious consequences, as
a large number of Kansas banks are
borrowers in New York, and If they
transfer their accounts to either city
the New York banks will call their
some wild talk Of commercial separ
alton between the east and west Is
being INDUCED in and if the sherman
act is repealed it is almost certain
that a western and southern party
will be formed to reinst' silver.
