The Hawaiian Question.

1t IL hardly necessary for me 10 state ths,
the questions arising from our relations with
Hawaii have caused serious embarrassment
Just PRIOR TO the installation Of the present
administration the existing government had
been suddenly overthrown.
A treaty OF annexation had been negotiated
between the provisional government OF the
islands and the United States and submitted
20 the senate for ratification. This treaty
withdrew for examination, and dispatched
Hon. James II. Blount OF Georgia 10 Honolulu
as special commissioner TO make an Impair
tial investigation Of the circumstances attend
ing the change OF government and Of all the
conditions bearing upon the subject Of the
treaty.
After a thorough and exhaustive examina-
ton, Mr.. Blount submitted 20 me his report.
showing beyond all question that the con-
stitutional government OF Hawaii had been
subverted with the active aid OF our represen-
tative to that government and through the
Intimidation caused by the presence of an
armed naval force OF the United States, which
was landed for that purpose at the instance OF
our minister. Upon the facts developed II
seems TO me the only honorable course for ou'
government to pursue was 10 undue the wrong
that had been done by those representing US
and TO restore a. far a. practicable the statu,
existing at the time Of our forcible interven
| tion.

natural that they should be fond Of neigh

SHE WAS AGILE.
And In a Moment Had Got Out of n Disa-
greeable Position.

The most agile young woman in Cleve-
land had q distressing experience Tuesday
afternoon. Her Sunday frock was dam
aged, perhaps ruined, but the loss would
have been made good had the application
been made by her 10 the spectators favor
ed with the exhibition of her sprlghtli-
ness. IL was worth the money, says the
Cleveland Ledder.
She was about 20 years old and comely.
She wore black Jacket and n lIght-brown
skirt. Beside her walked man who held
a boy by the hand, and Just ahead was an
other woman. They crossed st. Claire
street az Seneca, and the icy gutter cover
was hidden by thin sheet Of water. The
woman ahead passed safely and SO did the
man aud the bov.
With the young lady 1t was different.
Her left foot was confidently placed on
the iron cover, but 1t slipped forward.
Her right foot was brought down quickly
to preserve her balance, but 1t also
struck q tad place and few out
like badly-damaged roller skate. Then
the left foot was brought to the
rescue. and likewise the right again, but
without avail. For several moments there
was lightning movements to gain foot
ing, and then there was tumble. But
she had no sooner touched the pavement
than she gathered her feet together and
was up again like a fiash-in the twinkling
of an eve, "a quick ~ lightning.
Her agility was marvel, aud ii was sad
that it should not have saved her dress
from q coating OF diluted mud. Her right
hand had also struck bottom. aud as she
walked up Seneca street with her sympa-
thizing companion the arm was extended
from the body. But the suddenness OF
her recovery from an embarrassing and
disagreesble position has never been ex.
celled in this city.
