flagstaff on the Government building. 1t
was done by order OF Commissioner Blount.
At private conference held with President
Dole on the day previous the commissioner
notified the Government that he would
withdraw the flag and thereby dissolve the
protectorate established by Minister Stew
ems on February /.
He did not give any explanation for his
remarkable act, but simply said to Presi-
dent Dole, as your Government strong
enough to stand alone?" He was assured
that the Provisional Government was
capable of caring for itself, and then he
impaired the information of his intention TO
haul down the flag at IL o'clock on the
following morning. OF course this deter

Why the Panama Canal Will Not Be
Built,


NEW YORK, April 13-The officers of the
Nicaragua Canal Company deny emphatE-
cally the statements made by Count Kera-
try that their heme is purely political
measure and secondary in Importance to
the Panama canal, in the interest Of which
Keratry is now in this country.
Warner Miller was seen to-day. he said
'As a matter of fact the Panama and
Nicaragua canal schemes are not to be
mentioned in the same category. The for
mer has been proved impracticable, If not
impossible, while the latter has been shown
TO be beyond all doubt the only practical
method of opening a highway for ships be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Keratry's claims are so at variance with
the facts In the matter that l do not con-
slider 1t worth my while to enter into any
controversy with him.
"The Panama idea Is foreign one, and
in spite of its pretensioUs, was never able
to interest one dollar OF American capital.
The Nicaragua scheme, on the other hand,
Is purely an American enterprise, and has
been declared by the foremost civil, min
ing and military engineers as the only route
by which Communication can be opened up
between the two great oceans. Generals
Grant, Sherman and Mcclellan. who spent
years studying this matter, said the Mica
ragua canal was the only realizable one."

o'clock on the following morning.
The first public news of the withdrawal
OF the flag was published in the Advertiser
on the same morning When the general
public was informed of the news there was
but one opinion, and that was that Mr.
Cleveland had no idea of annexng the
Islands, and his commissioners act was
looked on as q hostile one.
The lowering Of the flag took place pre-
cisely at IL o'clock 1t was done without
any demonstration. and when the Hawaiian
ensign was hoisted on the same pole where
the stars and stripes had foated proudly for
two months there was not a particle of en-
thusiasm shown by the natives.
few minutes before II o'clock the
measured tread of a body of men was
heard outside Of the Government building
grounds, and moment later a battalion OF
militia belonging to the Provisional Govern
ment came marching in. There were three
companies in al-Company A, Company
u with two gatlng guns, and the regular
company FROM the barracks. Each man had
determined look Oh his face, and it would
have been costly move for the royalists if
they had made any attempt at fighting. The
three companies were distributed about the
grounds.
In the meantime Presi dent Dole and
members of the executive and advisory
councils of the Government were standing

outcome of the struggle that was pre-
cipltated. and that was that the Sem
ate should agree that the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections should,
by subcommittee or otherwise, investigate
the Roach case and the validity OF the claim
of Martin to seat during the recess and
report to the Senate at the next regular
session. If. finally, the Democrats were
prepared to assume the responsibility of
voting down the resolution to investigate, 1t
must be done, the Republican Senators
asserted with vehemence, by voting
quorum, and the responsibility for such
action thus placed where it belongs.
Shortly after the caucus adjourned the
Senate met and memorial signed by
seventy-seven members of the Kansas Leg
islature against the right OF Martin 10 seat

legally elected. was presented and referred
to the Committee on Privileges and Fec
tions.
The Senate then went into executive
session and listened TO the Republicans,
who declared they would have the Roach
case considered in open session. If the
Democrats ignored it in executive.
In conformity to the conclusion of the
caucus NudHulcIs MS soon us the executive
session was over, took occasion 10 proceed
TO address the Senate on the Roach resolu-
tion. Mr.. German asked that he defer his
remarks until tomorrow, and Chandler re-
piled that he would give way until to-
morrow if he could have unanimous con-
sent to take up the resolution after the
conclusion of the business of the morning
hour. This consent, much 10 the surprise
of many, was given, and Chandler will
speak early Tomorrow. The Senate then
adjourned.
A conference of the Democratic leaders
was held this afternoon after the Senate
adjourned. After a short time German
went after Roach and brought him to the
committee-room. where he remained few
minutes and left with German, the latter
gentlemen subsequently, having a confer
ence with Brice in his room. 1t is quite
probable that some definite plan of pro-
cedure has been agreed upon, but the
Senators who participated are very reticent
