STEVENS SPEECH.
The value of the Islands to the Unitet
States.


Boston, Dec 16.-Ex-Minister John
j.. Stevens spoke on the Hawaiian ques.
tion this afternoon before the Middle.
sex club, a republican organization
For. more than sixty years" he said
"all great statesmen had seen the great
commercial value Of the Hawaiian Is
lands to the United States Only pig
mics among our public men asserted a
counter proposition. Many now living
will see the day when Northern Pacific
waters will be ploughed by nation of
256,0W Americans. The Islands are at
the cross roads, and constitute an in
dispensable coaling and feeding station
which can be. made impregnable. The
influence of the reign of Kalakaua and
,Liliuokalani was corrupt and demoral-
izing. The restoration of the queen
would throw the nations again under
the political influence of men who have
been a curse to the islands for the last
twenty-five years. 1t would be a pub
lie. crime. Blount pretended to accom-
plish in a few days all that took years
to investigate, and every one acquaint-
ed with the people of the islands sees
how one-sided Blount's report is" STE
vens closed by expressing the hope that
the day was not far distant when
Americans patriotism will be strong
enough in washington to prevent party
politics from crippling our foreign lol-
icy; when we shall show a united front
to foreign rivals, and stand grand and
invinoible before the entire world.

THE CONSPIRACY CASES,


Portland, Dec 16.-In the conspiracy

testified to visits made to Blum's resi-.
denee by Mulkey and Seid Back, Up.
on cross-examination the witness fail
ed to identify Mulkey among the de-
PENDANTS in the ROOM After further
testimony as to the identity of hand
writing in the Dunbar-W Wilson cores
pondence, the government rested
When court re-convened this after
noon the government counsel announc-
ed that when the case is submitted to
the jury they would not ask for a ver'
dict Of guilty against the defendants
John Ross, j. e. Marks, and Bong Ong
Chong, as there was not sufficient evi-
dence against them to warrant con-
viction, The defense opened their case
by an effort to impeach the testimony
of Blum. Mayor Mason testified that
Blum's reputation for truth and verac-
ity was bad, and that Lotan's charac-
ter was good. Governor Pennoyer had
known Lotan for a quarter of a CEN
tury and thought his general reputa-
tion was good.

AFFAIRS IN GERMANY
Her Commercial Treaties Are
@lSt Discussed.
SPEECH BY HERBERT BlsMARK
An Emigration of Anarchists Ex
pected---Germany too Hot
4e for Them.

(Copyrighted 1893 by Associated Press)
Berlin, Dec. 16.-The Importance Of
Yesterdays debate in the reichstag CEN
ters on Count Herbert Bismarck's unex-
pected coming to the front as one of
| the leaders of the conservative party
grians selected him to be the cham
pion solely on account Of the weight
of his historic name, and although his
arguments raised no point not already
covered by the opponents of the COM
mercial treaties, yet the trenchant vigor
of Count Herbert Bismarck's language
was in such striking contrast to his
former parliamentary style that even
his friends were surprised and de-
lighted, and conservatives abandoning
the attitude of reserve displayed tow
ards him since his fathers dismissal
| from office, applauded vociferously
The count quoted the pamphlet of the
archbishop of Dublin in arguing that
unless that the currency question was
settled the peasantry would become
bankrupt; he defended the farmers
union as having prevented many dls-
contented rural voters from going over
tc the social democrats, and implored
the government to remember that more
than twenty million persons in Ger
many were more or less dependent on
agriculture for livelihood. Continu-
ing, the count pointed out the case of
England, where he claimed agriculture
was practically ruined, and the country
depended upon foreign supplies.
Herr Richter closed the debate with
a vigorous defense of the government
against the conservative attacks, illus
trating with bitter sarcasm the prlnci- !
pies and character of the Agrian agi-
tation, and ridiculed the idea Of pre-
senting England as lost country. |
Richter, during his speech, said: And |
if in their patriotism they are willing |
to mike large naval outlay, they owe
their ability to do SO to a free trade
policy. We, on the other hand have |
so much difficulty in covering the cost
of the army bill because our prosperity
is retarded by protective policy"
Caprivi is of the opinion that the
present legislation is sufficient to deal
with the anarchists, and no Initiative
steps are expected from Germany. The
Berlin adherents Of the party are very
down hearted, as every individual be-
longing to it is well known and contin-
|
speaker indulging in exciting language
at meetings is promptly "sent up"
Quite number are already in prison,
and others are awaiting trial. They
will soon find it too hot for them here,
and as no other states in Europe will Ia
let them pass their frontier they will
at least try to go to America, where am
invasion of this character may be look
ed for.

THE HAWAIIAN AFFAIR.
Clevelands Ultimatum Expected Short
ly in Honolulu.

Honolulu, Dec 9-AIthough the stu
Ition Is not rirtually changed, several
matters OF more or less importance
have trarspired. On November 10Th
President Dole addressed a note to
Minister Willis In which it was stated
that the provisional government had
received notice from Minister Thurs
ton of Secretary Greshams letter. The
provisional government wished to In
1uire, first, if 1t was correct, and, if so.
intimated that it was due them TO be
informed what were the intentions of
The United States in relation to these
recommendations of the secretary of
state. On December I'd a reply was re-
ceived by President Dole in which
Minister Willis stated in substance that
he considered the letter of Secretary
Gresham domestic matter withswhich
he (Willis) had nothing to do. 1t was
] Is opinion, rowever, that President
Cleveland would decide to furnish def.
mite information and Instructions as
soon as he had received certain ad-.
vices which had already been trans
mitted to him. President Dole said to
en- Associated Press representative this
morning that Mr. Bowel assured the
government that both the Canadian
government and the people were an
xious to enter into political relations
with Hawaii, and that he hoped nego-
tiations in that direction would find
the favor and support of England If
necessary. & -
