BLOUNT SAILS AWAY.
HE WILL INVESTIGATE HAWAII.


Sent by the President to Ascertain the
Wishes OF tho Isiandsrs.
E1-Congressman Blount Of Georgia, who
has been appointed commissioner 70 inves'
tgate the question Of annexing the Hawaiian
Islands, reached San Francisco on tho 10th
and Immediately left for Honolulu on the
revenue cutter Richard Rush, which had been
placed at his disposal.
Regarding tho object Of his trip Mr.. Blount
said: "The public seem TO have the idea
that am loaded to tho guards with instruc-
tons, whereas the plain truth 10 that have
received practically no instructions from
President Cleveland or any one else. My mis-
sion is to investigate the whole question OF
annexation, to determine the sentiment OF the
foreigners as we'll us Of the natives, and to
conclude as far as possible from the facts
whether II would be advantageous to this
country to annex the islands. My mind Is
free from any prejudice, and am prepared
to give an impartial hearing to all sides. The
cutter Rush will be at my disposal, and init I
will visit tho other islands after completing
my work at Honolulu.
"Of course the foreign sentiment can be
ascerts ned fully at Honolulu, but the natives
OF the other Islands may have very different
Views from tho Kanakas Of Honolulu. am
ignorant Of the Hawaiian language, but with
trustworthy interpreter 1t ought not to be
difficult to get At the real sentiment OF the ma
tives. What the additional instructions from
Washington may contain remains TO be seen.
No question In recent American politics so
sadly needs the light Of pure truth thrown
upon It as this Hawaiian question, for II has
been muddlcd bv .roeals to sentiment and
prejudice"
Mr.. Blount tl, ...at two months would
suffice, although he sid he should not sacri-
fee thoroughness in haste. When told the
voyage would probably take eight days he
smiled and said drily: at is an importont
question whether we want any territory that
II takes steamer more than week TO reach.
That is mightr t.. away In my estimation"

nizc an outlet for American merchandise aud
the ability To aid In working up n market for
tho products Of American manufactures and
