SURPRISED THAT THERE IS ONLY
ONE COMMISSIONER.

The People Turn Out En- Masse to Vel

HoyoLULU, March 29.-The United States
revenue cutter Rush arrived here this morn

on board ex-Congressm6n Blount OF Geor-
eia, who was appointed commissioner to In
vestigate the existing conditions in Hawaii
and report as to the expediency of the an

CAUSE OF SURPRISE.
The news that oaly one person had been
sent in that capacity TO the islands soon
spread to the shore and oCcas.Oned much
surprise. Commissioner Bloun5 declined to
be interviewed, but from casual conversa-
tion it would seem that his labOrs here may
cover a period OF several weeks. The Rush
will probably re.urn to San Francisco in
the meantime. Commissioner BlOuut did
not leave the steamer for several hours and
consequently a reception by the Hawaiian
league and the annexation club did not
take place. The Rush brought dispatches
from Washington to Admiral Skerrett
and also the provisional government,
but the nature OF them could not be learned.
After the first feeling of surprise had
passed away, expressions Of satisfaction at
