PAPER GOVERNMENT.
The Queen Could Be Held Up Only by
BayOnetS.

ANN ARBoR, Mich, Nov. 14.-H. U. Cas-
tie, formerly editor of the Advertiser of
Honolulu, who is visiting relatives here,
says it is not true that The Queen was de-
posed by the American Minister or Amer
lean forces. The American forces were
passive spectators of the conflict from be-
ginning 10 end.
Speaking of the proposal to reinstate the
Queen by this Government Castle says it
cannot be done without the grossest in
justice to hundreds of persons who have
relied upon the good faith of the United
States.
The Queens Government at best would
be simply paper government unless sup
ported by American bayonets Putting it
back simply means using the full force of
the United States Government to destroy
party of progress and ability.

PREPARING FOR TROUBLE.
The Ranger and Mohican to Be Sent
to Honolulu.

VALLEJO, Nov. 14.-It is said on good
naval authority that as soon as the United
States ships Ranger and Mohican. now at
the Mare Island Navy-yard, can be ready
for sea, the Secretary of the Navy will
order their commanders to proceed direct
to Honolulu to report to Admiral irwin.
On arrival at Hawaii the Mohican will be
made the flagship OF the Pacific squadron,
relieving the Philadelphia, which will i'm
medateiy proceed to Mare Island Navy
yard. The ordering of the Ranger and
Mohican to Hawaii to the relief of the
Philadelphia is said TO be due 10 the fact
that President Cleveland desires to con-
centrate all the available ships of the Pa
cific squadron in Hawaiian quarters, and
that the combined crews of the Ranger
and Mohican would facilitate the landing
of larger marine force than that of the
Philadelphia.
Naval officers here are extremely eau
tious in commenting on the present atti-
tude of Hawaiian affairs, yet they do not
hesitate in predicting concentration of a
large United States naval force at Homo
lulu. Several officers VINO were serving on
board the cruiser Boston at the time Of the
dethronement of Queen Lilioukalani deny
the story that the marines from the Bos-
ton were landed through any mistake in
interpreting signals from the United States
consulate. They state that bowling
mob thronged the streets of Hon olulu. and
the situation was SO threatening to Ameri-
can interests that Minister Stevens, after
celebrating with the senior naval officer
of the United States. deemed the landing
OF the marines required by American
interests and the protection Of the con-
sulate, which had been broken into and
ransacked on the night previous.
AS the matter now stands work on the
ships Ranger and Mohican will be pushed
vigorously in order to get them ready for
sea with as little delay as possible. A
rumor Is current here tonight that Minis
ter Willis in going to Honolulu was the
bearer of orders to Admiral Irwin from
the Secretary of the Navy directing that in
the event of the rejection of President
Cleveand's ultimatum to the Provisional
Govern ment or of any uprising, Admiral
Irwin would dispatch the Adams to the
United States with any special communi-
cation Minister Willis might require to
send for the information of the Washing
ton authorities. Admiral Skerrett, who
was sseen in reference to the N after,
smiled and said that while such q course
was probable be had no knowledge of it,

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-The new Demo-
cratic tariff bill will probably be published
much earlier than has been anticipated.
ResoIute tariff reformers have been warned

be made in completing the bill ana giving
it TO the public. To this end, In order to
void any chance of wrangling or delay,
it has been decided not TO call any caucus
to consider the bill in advance OF its pres
entation to Congress. That this course
will meet with criticism is eviuced by thu
fact that Bland of Missouri, Culbertson Of
Texas and others have openly announced
their intention OF opposing free wool The
work of draft ing the bill is being done in

not pro iable that any considerable changes
will be hade. Il is expected the final an
nouncemtut will be made in ten days or

A Small Sensation Developing Up at

VICTORIA, Nov. 14.-What promises to
be a sensational case is developing at the
Wilson Hotel here. Ten days ago young
couple arrived from Astoria. Or, and reg

A week later Agent Finlayson Of the Ca

said was aged only 10. and had eloped with
an Astoria society belle.
They were not married, he said, and
could not be married The police found
them at their hotel and stormy interview
between the father and son resulted.
The son produced documentary evidence,
which induced the father TO contradict the
story formerly told and to allege that the
young couple had been duly married.
Both the Finlaysons have left for Astoria.

HOKE AND MORTON.
Not Yet Ready to Break With the
President.

President.
CHICAGO, Nov. IA Times special
from Washington says: 1t is current on
the best authority to-day that both Secrt-
taries Morton and Roke Smith have ten
dered their designations to Cleveland as
members of his Cabiner. The reasons
assigned were the radical aud emphatic
disagreement Of these two gentlemen with
President Cleveland's Hawaiian policy,
and the cOuntenance given to the restOra-
tion OF the Queen. President Cleveland,
through Carlisle and Gresham, prevailed
on the brace CT discounted statesmen to
Withdraw their designations. or at least to
defer them for time.
In contradiction of this story an after
noon paper, usually well informed, has
the following from Washington: A story
was spread broadcast last night, which
seems to have had its origin in gossip at
the Metropolitan Club in this city. that
there were strong dissenslons in the Cab
met on the Hawaiian situation. The
rumor was definite as to Cabinet officers
who were not in accord with the admins
tration. and named Secretaries Hoke Smith
and Morton. 1t was stated that they had
rendered their resignation at past Cab
met meeting or would do so at the next
one. Secretary Morton. when seem. gave
absolute denial to the rumor. stating that
he had not resigned and had never thought
of doing so. 1t can be further said that
Morton is in accord with the President on
his Hawaiian policy. and that Hoke Smith
has not in any manner given public ex-
preston to a disagreement or given any
reason TO suppose he entertains opinions
differing from those of the President on
the matter.
WASHINGTON. Nov. lat is learned on
good authority that the Cabinet is a unit
in the Endorsement of CleYeland's plan for
the restoration of Queen LlliuOkalani
This fact was developed after the conclu-
sion of the Cabinet meeting to-day. The
Hawaiian question was the chief topic of
discussion. The meeting was attended by
ali the members except Secretary Smith,
who is in Georgia. Secretary Morton re.

BLOUNT'S REPORT.
The Substance of 1t, Though IL Is
Not Yet Given Out.

CHICAGO. Nov. IA special to a local
paper from Washington says: The Cabi-
net considered to-day the advisability of
giving Commissioner Blount's report to
the press. Yesterday it was thought best
to say nothing more officially about the
Hawaiian sensation till the next steamer
arrived from Honolulu: but, in view of
the public clamor for evidence Of the truth
of the assertions made by Gresham. there
Is belief that it may be wise to satisfy
the general demand. However. after a
long consultation it was concluded not to
give out the report.
The evidence gathered by Blount covers
about 5000 pages of typewriter matter.
The testimony was taken in shorthand
and verified. A very large number of
people were examined. They comprised
pretty nearly every prominent person ON
the islands. from the Queen down. includ-
ing the royalists and annexationists. The
trend of the testimony Is all one way, to
wit: The Queen would not have been
overthrow but for the Intervention of
the American Minister. The evidence
contains the original letters by Stevens
and Dole. Dole's letter is particularly
interesting, as it shows by Tine
date and text that it was written
and sent to Minister Stevens before the
Provisional Government had read its
proclamation. In it Dole says that he
lacks control of several important build
ings. and asks that an American naval off,
Ger. with marines, be placed in charge of
the Provisional troops. There is also
Stevens original letter asking for the use
Of n in iah 70 nn = no
there is Stevens letter recognizing the
Provisional Government before it was the
Government de facto. Stevens claims that
the troops were landed to protect Ameri-
can interests. If SO, the correspondent
says, one might have supposed that he
would have stationed the troops near the
American interests. The correspondent
adds that a map of the city shows that the
American troops were so placed that, were
the Queens troops to have fired on the
Provisional troops, they would have had to
fire over the heads of the United States
troops.
The correspondent also has this to say :
The story about Dole giving Willis his
pass sports was received this morning. A
retired naval officer said that in such an
event the American admiral would not
recognize Willis, for upon receiving his
passports be would cease to be Minister
and would be simply private citizen.
This, il is asserted. has been provided
against. Willis could not take bis pass
ports if they were offered to him. and even
If he should he would still be the special
agent of the Government, as he has CON-
mission in his pocket. he has also an or
der to the American naval officer in CON-
mand at Hawaii instructing him to obey
Willis 10 everything and under all clrcum-
stances. Willis will call on the Queen as
