AN HAWAIIAN PROTEST.
Address of the American
League Of Honolulu to the
American People.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. Is, 1898 A. Feek,
Seattle contractor, arrived at his home,
last night, from Honolulu. Mr.. Feek was
made the bearer of an address to the people
of the United States from the American
League of Honolulu. The address is dated
December 4, and says:
THE ADDRESS.
ITO the PeoDle of the United states.
I'VE, like you, believe in good govern
ment, and having, in cooperation with
others, freed ourselves from the reign of cor
rupt rule and established a government of
the best classes OF society, we protest most
emphatically against the reported assump-
ton of President Cleveland that the Pro
visiona1 Government of the Hawaiian Island
should cease to exist because the proposition
for union with the United States of America
had failed to meet his approval.
we insist that the present Government
OF Hawaii has the same right to exist that
the United States had after their successful
revolution in 1776. In fact, the corruption
and mlsgovernment that brought about the
revolution of January last were SO fragrant
as to be unbearable, and the late Queen had
planned to not only continue her corrupt
rule, but to set aside the constitution of the
Kingdom, and had attempted to illegally
promulgate new one, disfranchising many
of the most intelligent citizens, and by her
last hope of Improvement over the
corrupt and illegal aggression Of
executive power, SO that no alternative was
left but to depose her and establish an honest
and capable government. This has been sue
cessfully done, not by citizens of the United
States, but the movement was carried to q
successful issue by people born and raised on
the islands and others who had lived for
many years here, and were citizens of the
country and loyal to it's best interests. and
only organized for the overthrow of the old
system after all hope of redress for many
wrongs done by the late Queen and her partf-
sans had ceased to exist.
"We are ready to acknowledge that We.
loving liberty and good government hon
estly administered, should have approved
the deposition of the late Queen and the or
ganization of the Provisional Government,
and do now give to the said Provisional
government our earnest and hearty sup
port"
WITHHOLD JUDGMENT.
In conclusion, the people of Honolulu de-
mand that the citizens of the United States
withhold their Judgment until fair and
impartial investigation has been given the
entire matter-an investigation which they
earnestly court.
If, after this, the American people do not
desire to annex the islands, there is but one
thing remaining to fill out the measure of
the hope of Hawaii, and that is to be left en-
tirely alone.

HERBERT BISMARCK ANGRY.

BERLIN, Dec. Is, 1S93-During the debate
in the Reichstag on the commercial treaties,
Count Herbert Bismarck made violent at
tack upon the Government, in which he de-
clared that Chancellor Won Caprivi had
adopted policy of free trade which would
result in damage to the Fatherland. Count
Herbert proposed that the Roumanian,
Spanish and Servian treaties remain in force
for one year only, instead of ten years, as
originally provided.
Freiherr Marschall Bieberstein, the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, in reply, said the
Government was convinced of the necessity
of protection in order to benefit national
labor, and was determined to maintain it,
but, he added, the operations of the treaties
would in no way affect such protection.
