DEPARTURE OF PRESIDENT DOLE

PRESIDENT Dole LETT yesterday
afternoon by the Kinau for a
short vacation on the island
of Hawaii. He was met at the
wharf by a large concourse of
people, the majority Of whom were
among the best citizens of Homo
lulu and vicinity. The aloha ex-
tended him was the most marked
public demonstration that has
taken place since the arrival of
Minister Blount in the harbor last
April.
The demonstration which took
place yesterday had more than a
local significance. 1t represented
the popular political feeling of
the islands of Hawaii. 1t repre-
sented the popular backing which
the annexation idea receives from
those taxpayers representing the
majority of the taxable property of
the islands. 1t endorsed the man
and the political principle at the
same time.
When the steamer pulled out,
the President of the Provisional
government of the Hawaiian ISL
snds was officially saluted by
twenty-one guns fired from the
United States cruiser Boston fol-
lowed by the same number from
the shore battery. Flags were
dipped on the vessels in the
harbor, and among the plaudits of
the assembled multitude President
Dole departed, leaving the cares of
office on the shoulders of his able
successor, Hon. Francis M. Hatch.
The booming of the cannon on
board the U. S. S. Boston was
pleasant music to the ears of
Americans in Hawaii. 1t carried
with it the formal endorsement by
the United States naval forces in
Hawaiian waters of the Provisional
government. The order for the
burning Of American powder came
unsolicited from Admiral Skerrett,
and emphasized the previous
acknowledgment by the United
States authorities of the Pro-
visional government as the sover-
eign power in Hawaii. As the
flames leaped from the Boston
seaward, it seemed to the crowds
upon the wharves an open welcome
to the future State of Hawaii as
the latest and brightest star in the
blue field of American honor and
protection.
The broad stand long since taken
by the United States in protecting
American interests in the Pacific,
and the part more lately taken at
the hands of that government by
the officers of the cruiser Boston,
gave a peculiar significance to yes
terday;s demonstration. To the
friends of annexation every gun
that broke the silence from the
Boston YVES an endorsement of
the past actions of that vessel in
protecting the lives, interests and
property of America ns, and good
government in Hawaii.
As the representative of the Pro-
visional government md the Amer
lean colony here, President Dole
was received in the most BETTING
manner and his reception and

diced methods in his appointments that
he did during his former incumbency
Of the White House, Nearly his first
act was the appointment, as ambassa-
dor to Italy, of Mr.. Van Allen, an
Anglo maniac, who had spent many
years in England (although a native
of this country, a man possessed of
great wealth, and whose only quail
6cations for the position was the dona-
tion of a small fortune to the Demo-
cratic campaign funds. Van Allen had
never given the least evidence of any
diplomatic ability, and had been al
most unknown to politics. This, as
was to be expected, ,caused some severe
criticisms. and the appointment was
declared to be simply business trans
action between Mr.. Cleveland and this
wealthy citizen. But Mr.. Van Allen
has declined, and while the disgrace
will be removed from the adminlstra-
ton, the opprobium of selling appoint
ments to the civil service of the govern
meat to the highest bidder will still
attach itself to the president.

Congress VIII Decide IL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Z Prominent
members of the house committee on for
eign affairs evidently expect congress
will be called upon sooa to decide the
Hawaiian question. Chairman McCreary
yesterday had an extended interview
with the president and 1t is supposed
matters relating to Hawaii were under
discussion McCreary would say moths
ing about the conference, but from sug
gestiohs be made it is evident he expec
ted congress would deal with the matter.
A member OF the committee said the
president would not think OF using force
while congress was in session, as that
would be an act of war. There has been
theories advanced that after hearing
again from Minister Willie, and learning
positively that the queen cannot be re-
stored, except by the use of the United
States troops, the president will present
to congress the case of the queen as
wronged monarch, whose government
was oyerthrown by this government, and
assert that 1t is now the duty of the
United States TO restore the former con-
dItion even by using force. This is the
idea advanced by the friends of the adj
ministratlon. There will be great oppo--
sltion IN the house by the committee on
foreign affairs to the resolution of Hit
of Illinois on the ground that 1t would
not be right. In view OF further prom
ised communication from the executive
on the subject, for the house to give ex-
preston to the sentiments contained in
the Hit resolution Hit will make
every effort to secure a favorable repor:
from the committee OF his resolution. but,
as it will take at least three Democratic
votes to bring about such result, it is
if he will be successful.

Only one Was suyed.

HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass, Dec. g.
During the night the ship Jason which
went ashore off here, broke in two amid

Evans. the survivor of the crew, to a
reporter of the Associated Press told the
story of the voyage: I'VE sailed from
Calcutta last February with cargo of
jute butts for Boston. Two days after
leaving port we were nearly dismanted
in a storm and had to put into Mauri-
tIus for repairs. During the gale our
mate was washed overheard and lost.
We came in through the south channel
last Monday, and shaped our course for
Boston. Tuesday the wind pulled out
to ast-southesst, and at o'clock snow
began falling. We bad no observations
for two days, but Captain Mcmillan
thought we were off Cape Cod, and we
kept on our course. At 80 in the after
neon we made the breakers right under
our lee, and few moments later saw
land. We shook out our upper topsalls
aud tried to drive by the cape, but had
no sea room, and at 7:15. finding that we
must soon strike, the ship was beaded
for the beach. The captain had heen be-
low examining the charts, aud on reach
ing the deck, cried: 1--WE are lost" The
ship struck with fearful force, and we all
sprang for the llfeboat. Before we could
cut the lashiugs the spars began to fall
and the vessei 10 20 to pieces felt
myself dashed into the sea. and l was
left poweress. l knew nothing more
until 1 found myself under the care of
the life saving men. NY companions
acted as 1 did, and all sprang into the
rigging when the boat went by the board
and all mad on life rolls"

The Kansas City Star jumps on tn
southern brigadiers" in its party, re-
minding them that they must keep to
the rear, and that they cannot dictate
the policy of the Democratic party. 1t
also reminds them that their boom for
Vice-President Stevenson for presi-
dent is ill-timed, for their finding in
Stevenson a "logical candidate" for
1896 looks too much as though they
were only considering his record as "a
headsman" and hot as statesman.
1t is rather rough on the southern
brigadiers" to furnish the votes for the
Democratic party for years, and then
be told to keep to the rear when the
party starts to do something. 1t is es-
pecially CALLING to the southern men to
support a free-trade party and then
have their own infant industries suffer
the first from the effects of that policy;
but this is perhaps poetic Justice. The
iron men Of Alabama, Virginia, and
Tennessee can now understand the need
of few Republican representatives
from their section to go into congress
and fight for their interests.

DoIph AFTER Grover.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-The senate
opened with light attendance in the
CALLER les and on the floor. The vice
pre- esident laid before the senate q COM
munication from Governor A!tgeld, of
Illinois. announcing that in statuary hall
of the national capitol statue to Gen
eral James Shields would be unveiled to-
morrow afternoon and inviting the
friendly cooperation of the senate Sen :
ator Cullop gave notice that be wouid
tomorrow introduce a resolution bearing
on the subject. Dolph presented petit
tion of the Oregon Horticultural Society,
savoring the maintenance of the present
duty on prunes.
Hosr offered resolution (for which be
asked present consideratlon) requesting
the president, as far as in his opinion 1t
shall not be inconsistent with the public
copies of all the instructions which may
have been given to any representative of
the United States or any naval officer
since March 4. 1891, in reference to the
preservation of public order in Hawaii,
in the protection of lives apd property
of American citizens or the recognition
or support of any government there.
Sherman, while expressing himself as
in favor of the resolution, thought, in
the absence of-the chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, that nothing
would be done but refer the resolution
to that committee. After some further
debate the resolution went over.
Dolph then proceed to address the sem
ate on that part of the presidents mes
sage relating to Hawan. He began by
expressing his surprise at the utterance
of the president IN his message. Dolph
said he could not conceive 1t possible the
administration had determined upon the
forcibie overthrow of the existing gov
ernment and the restoration of corrupt
and llcentious queen. II such had been
the intention Oft he administration, the
expression By the press of the country
of most unanimous public opinion
against such course, he believed, would
have changed the purpose of the admins
lstratlon and have caused the president
to modify his instructions to the Ameri-
can minister to Hawaii. Dolph read
part OF the reference of the president IN
his message to Hawaii and asked whether
the report of the personal represent tivs
of the president acting under secret in
structiona sna conducting an ex ltrts
examisation was entitled to more creo-
ence than the official report of the former
American minister to Hawaii, aud of
American naval officers and representa-
tlves OF the Hawaiian government te this
country, and of information received
from the Christian and intelligent per-
sons of Hawaii since the revolution.

LONDON, Dec S.-An important dis
patch from VitDna, which the Times
prints this morning, sets forth that the
Russian government has declared it i'm
perative that the Kllia, an arm of the
Danube, be made uavIgable. The object
of the demand, which is TO secure exemp
ton the Kllia branch from the control
of the Danube commission, has served TO
attract renewed attention to the situation
of affairs In Europe, which would need
only spark 10 klndle she flame. That
the various countries are fully alive to the
difficulties ahead there can be no doubt,
and numerous incidents have come to
light within the past few days which in =
dlcate that all the bowers are making
preparations to meet any emergency Iu
connection with these recent develop
ments the statement is made to day, on
the authority OF the Westminster Gazette,
that the five new battle ships. a frst-class
cruiser and a number of smaller vessels
which hsve been ordered to augment the
British navy. are not without significance

duced bg the Crimesn war 1t SAWS Rus

The Unemployed.

CHICAGO, Dec. z The distress among
the unemployed is SO great that every
night 600 find lodgings on the cold floors
in the corridor of the city hall. These
are only few of the great number who
have no place to sleep. Five hundred
sleep in the chairs in the Pacific Garden
mission From 1400 to 1900 find lodg-
ing on the stone floors in the cells in the
police stations. Last night it was an
nounced that eight churches will be
thrown open to furnish lodgings for those
who have no other. The men will be
given cup of coffee and rolls in the
morning. This action was forced upon
Christian people by the fact that for the
last month the unemployed and unshel--
tered thousands have been crowding
around engine rooms in buildings and
other places where there was heat and
shelter. begging for place where they
might be protected from the cold. Harry
Monroe, superintendent OF the Pacific
Garden mission, brought these facts to
the attention OF the churches with the
result above stated.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.

The first Deaocratic congress for q
number of years convened in Wash
ington City to-day, and we presume
the message of President Cleveland
was delivered soon after it assembled.
1t would be question of some anx-
Iety to know what new policies would
be advocated 10y this administration,
if they had not been outlined previ-
ous!y in the Chicago platform, the
special session, Secretary Gresham's
letter on the Hawaiian question, and
the tariff bill prepared by the ways
and means committee. The president
is undoubtedly favorable to the single
standard, but his foreign policy will be
extremely weak, and not as distinct
lively American as was expected by
some. On the tariff he will undoubt-
edly lean towards free trade, and at
tempt to carry out the plank in the
national platform. The message is
usually considered an important state
paper; but it will not advocate any
thing that has not been gone over be-
fore. Last November the people of
the country demanded change, and it
has come. The words of Mr.. Cleve-
land may render easier the dose to be
swallowed; but the effects of the med
icine will be as disastrous. Reading
it by his freside, with his starving
family around him, the unemployed
laborer will have the opportunity to
consider the effect of his ballot last
November; the hockmaster, with his
wool unsold,an bankruptcy staringhlm
in the face, may cogitate upon the words
of the executive in no very agreeable
state of nind, and the manufacturer
may devote his time, now that his
looms are idle, to carefully consider
ing the reasons assigned by the
executive for financial depression
and hard times prevailing in the
country. The Arge ntine and Austria
lian sheep-raiser will look upon this
document as the words of a great de-
liver, who will open to the produce Of
their farms the gates of the great mar
ket of the west. For several months
the country has suffered from the
change, and the regular session of con-
gress, or the m essage of the president,
cannot make it less poignant or less
easy to bear.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Gin the senate
this afternoon, when Hoar's Hawaiian
resolution was taken up, Hill created a
sensation by making perhaps the strong
est speech of his senatorial career. He
challenged the right of the president to
the military force to restore the Haw-
allan queen. There are three co, ordi-
nate branches of this government" said
he, "and this authority is not vested in
the president alone" The contemplated
action of the president, be declared i,
would be a usurpation of the rights of
congress. He was attentively listened to
throughout, and the galleries rapidly
filled up as the report of the sensational
character of his speech spread through
the capitol. At 3 .35 Hill finished, and
was followed by Sherman, who also chal-
Ienged the correctness of the presidents
position.

A Dynamite scheme.

LONDON, Dec. SIN connection with
the arrest of man at Hampstead yes-
terdaY, the police searched the rooms of
a man named Schneider, just arrived
from the United States. He saw them
coming and decamped. They found in
the room tin can containing "a pounds
of dynamite in cakes. Before opening
it, it was immersed In a eistern, where it
fixed and foamed over the sides of the
receptacle. 1t was then dispatched to
the government explosive laboratory
There it was ascertained that it contained
fuses and ali the apparatus necessary for
explosions, and that it would have had q
terribly destructive effect. The police
expect to make large number of arrests
in connection with the affair, as they be
lieve they have discovered genuine dy
Mantle plot.
The Irish nationalists scout the idea
that Schneider had anything to do with
the Irish physical force section. They
says his name is enough TO stamp him as
a German anarchist, probably from New
York OF Chicago, supplying anarchists of
France, Austria or Spain with explo-
slves.
The EUening Standard adds to the ex..
citement by announcing that the police
have discovered several bombs in a
swell cafe In the West End.

Mr.. Van Allen has declined the mis-
sion to Italy, and this will remove one
disgrace from the Cleveland admins
tration, for there is not much doubt
that he was offered this position be-
cause he donated $4,000 to the Dem
ecratic campaign fund last year. In
1884 Mr.. Cleveland was electedto the
presidency because he was considered
opposed to the spoils system, and in
faver Of inaugurating reform in all
department of the civil service. For
the four years following his election
the appointments were made with due
regard to competency and with little
consideration for partisan predilee-
tions. The country rejoiced in the ad-
vent of new era In politics, and the
executive had among his friends some
of the strongest advocates of purity in
politics. After his nomination last
year the first act of Mr.. Cleveland was
evidence that he was drilling with pol
iticians, and his compromise with
Tammany before the election gave no
to the friends of civil
service refcrn that, if elected, he
would follow the same fair, unpreju- !
