WASHINGTON. Sept. 4.-Iuterext in the
Hawaiian question has been revived by
the sudden return to Washington OF Min-
lister Blount he came from his Georgia
home in response to telegram from Sec
Tetary Gresham. and arrived here last Sat-
urday night He is stopping at the Ma
tional Hotel. and the length of his visit
will depend altogether upon the wishes of
the President. He was at the State De-
partment this morning. and had short
conference with Secretary Gresham on the
subject of his mission 10 Honolulu, and
then walked over 10 the White House to
pay his respects to the President. and as
certain his wishes concerning his future
movements.
The President happened to be specially
busy with other visitors at the time, and
Mr.. Blount left word with Private Secre-
tsry Thurber that his time was entirely at
the disposal of the President and that he
would call again at his convenience.
The fact that Mr.. Blount was summoned
to Washington so soon after the Presidents
return to the city is taken to mean that the
President desires to act on this question
as speedily as possible. and during the
extra session of Congress if it can be done
1t is believed that Minister Blount's re-
ports and other official correspondence
bearing on the relations between the
United States and Hawaii will shortly be
communicated to the Senate, pending the
conclusion of nego citations for the treaty
with the Provisional Government of
Hawaii. either on the lines of annexation
as agreed 10 by the last administration or
on the lines of an American protectorate
The latter policy is said to be more in
favor with the present administration.
There is lots OF speculation about the
Hawaiian question. The only things
known to be settled are that the President
proposes 10 act promptly. that Mr.. Blount
Will not return TO Hawaii and that his
successor will be nominated In q short
time.
The belief is growing that Proctor Knott
Of Kentucky will accept the Hawaiian
mission.

1T IS A BITTER PILL,
France Does Not Relish the Ger
mans at Metz.
Newspaper Comment limiting at the
Way in Which Continental
Affairs May Turn.

PARIS, Sept. 4.-The declaration at
Metz OF Emperor William that be was
firmly determined to maintain the peace
of Europe has attracted much attention in
the newspapers of France, and comments
upon its significance are freely made.
Moderate journals call particular atten-
ti0n to the impressive nature of the Em-
peror's reception in Metz, but none Of
them will admit that his welcome, how
ever warm it might have been, constitutes
the abandonment of the protest of AL
sace-Lorraine against the domination of
Germany. Chauvinist journals declare
that the welcome given to the EmI eror
was wanting in spOntaneity, and the re-
ception rendered the Prince of Naples was
decidedly cold.
METZ, Sept 4.-Ten thousand persons
to-day witnessed the continued maneuvers
of the German army. The young Kaiser
reviewed the Sixteenth Army Corps and
he was accompanied by the Prince of Ma
piles and other royal dignitaries and fol-
lowed by brilliant staff OF officers. The
review consumed several hours. Two
hundred Italian workmen took occasion to
present to the Prince of Naples loyal ad-
dress. Since his arrival in Metz the Crown
Prince has worn q Prussiaa uniform on
all public occasions.

DISCUSSION.
The Druids' Directors i'm
Session.
THEY DISCUSS ACCOUNTS.
An Expert Will at Once Examine the
Books of the Secretary and
Make Report.

The special meeting of the board Of
directors of the Ancient and Mystic Order
of Druids held last night to consider the
charges of discrepancies III the accounts
of the secretary. John II. Knarston, had a
lively time. At times the sounds coming
over the lransom seemed to indicate a
prospective shedding OF gore. so violent
were the utterances of some of the partici-
pants In the wordy warfare waged within.
The committee investigating the books
OF the secretary submitted report, but
the document promptly found its way into
the chaiIman's pocket, as the board re-
fused to receive it. Just what the nature
of this document was could not be learned.
An angry discussion ensued regarding
the various articles which have appeared
in the papers regarding the present state
OF affairs, each side charging the other
with being responsible for the wide pub
icity given the orders present troubles
In truth both sides are In a manner re-
sponsible, as nearly everybody who knows
anything about the matter. and a great
many who know precious little, have dis
played remarkable alacrity in rushing
into print with their various versions of
the affair.
After all the wild discussion of the even
ing, one of the directors suggested that
the best way TO get at the bottom of the
difficulty would be to employ an expert
bOokkeeper, and have him overhaul tho
secretary's accounts thoroughly and make
a report at some future date.
Some of the members thought the accom-
panying cost would be too heavy; but the
proposition finally went through with little
if any opposition, and an appropriation of
$50 was made to cover the running ex-
pense.
The persons who are most earnest in
pressing the charges against the secretary
affirm that there is a gOod-sized deficiency
at the bottom of the trouble, while the sec
retary himself states that an investigation
will prove him to be all right.
1t is evident however. that the present
trouble has been caused by lax system Of
boOkkeeping-at least that is the opinion
of several members of the order who are
unbiased in their feelings and who ex-
pressed themselves last night.
Mr.. knarston, the secretary, SAYS that
his enemies have endeavored to hold him
responsible for rents collected of tenants
who have not been in the building for
several years. Only the experts report
will tell just where the order stands

THAT BORDER TROUBLE.
Major Keyes Claims the Disputed
Land Is Texas Soil.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ain telegram
to the War Department regarding the
Mexican boundary trouble. Major Keyes.
commanding the United States troops,
SAYS That four troops of Mexican cavalry,
under Colonel Maneiro. arrived Satur-
dav.
Yesterday Major Keyes. Colonel Maneiro
and an engineer officer of the Mexican
force went over the disputed ground. The
Mexican officers claimed that the original
piece of ground where the sheep were
seized is on Mexican soil, and the place
where the Mexican customs officials are
now under arrest by United States troops
who tried 10 drive the sheep across the
river, is in Mexico.
Major Keyes states that the whole mat
ter depends on certain dry beds of the old
channels of the river. and the Mexicans
claim the present channel as the boundary.
The granting Of this claim would throw
the disputed land into Mexican territory,
while Major Keyes ccutended that the
land is undoubtedly in Texas.

MALAGA GRAPES.
Want to Pay Duty but Want 1t Very
Light.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 4.-To-day began
the hearings by the WAYS and Means Com
mittee of representatives of the protected
industries preparatory to framing new
tariff bill. Representatives of the potato
and onion growers of the Bermuda Islands
were present, and asked for reduction of
the duty on these articles on the ground
that they were now almost prohibitve !;
that they do not compete with the native
products, coming in before The latter, and
because Bermuda buys from the United
States much more than it sells.
The next to be heard was an importer G {
Malaga grapes. who asked for reduction
OF the specific duty of % cents per barrel.
These grapes grow no place else in the
world. although grape of similar kind
is grown in California. The difficulty is
that the California grape does not keep
we'll, so that In the months of january and
February the Malaga is the only grape on
sale in this country. About $50. 900 bar
rels of these grapes are annually imported.
The revenue amounted to S150,0eO. The

WASHINGTON, Sept. A The newly ap-
pointed Chinese Minister to the United
States, Tsui Kwo YIN, was formally pre-
sented to President Cleveland this after
noon. In his speech TO the President The
Minister said it would be his constant aim
TO maintain and strengthen the amicable
relations which exist now between China
and the United States and offered his best
wishes for the success of this Government
and the prosperity of its people. In his
response the President conveyed express
siOns of similar feeling
The ambassador from Germany to the
United States, Baron de Saurma Jeltsch.
was also formally presented to the Presi-
dent by Secretary Gresham. Upon being
presented the Minister made a brief
speech, in which he referred TO the pleas
ant relations existing between the United
States and Germany, which he said he
hoped to strengthen and extend. and the
President replied in like vein.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-09-05

importer said he did not advocate the plac-
Ing of these grapes on the free list, as he
believed these inportations should pay a
fair and equitable tribute to this country.
Were the grapes put on the free list, how
ever, he did not think the domestic prod
uct would suffer. If the duty was re-
duced or the grapes placed on the free list
the importation would increase to 100000
barrels. and were importation to increase
TO this point the price per barrel would
decrease 30 cents on account of the larger
supply, aud the grapes would be placed
within the reach of many people now de-
barred. He denied that the retail price of
these grapes had ruled lower since the pas
sage of the Mckinley law.
The committee then adjourned until to-
morrow, when representatives of cement
and silk culture will have a hearing.
