THE QUEENS MORALS
Some Comments on Mr.. Blount's
Strong Expression.
NAVAL OFFICERS ARE MUCH AMUSED
Because They Are Acquainted With
the Condition of Affairs.
JUDGE COOLEY'S ASSISTANCE.

Various comments have been made in re-
gard to the last chapter of the Hawaiian
literature-the synopsis of Mr.. Blount's re-
port on the manner in which poor down.
trodden Liliuokalani was overthrown by
Minister Stevens and other so-called con-
spirators. 1t is generally admitted that
as exparte presentation of the case it tends
to strengthen the belief of the adminsra-
ton that the provisional government could
not have come into power without the SYM
pathy and good wishes of the representa-
tives of the United States. The report is
criticized, however, inasmuch as it failS
entirely to show the sentiment of the Ha-
waian people at the time of Mr.. Blount s
visit on the question of their government,
whether favorable or otherwise to the res
toration of the monarchy.
A Strong Combination.
1t was generally supposed that Mr.
Blount's special mission was to feel the
public pulse on the question of the most
popular form of government and that he
was not specially charged to investigate
how the de facto government came into
power His defence of 'Paramour" Wilson
and the purity of the queen caused much
merrment among naval officers who have
visited Honolulu and have some knowledge
Oh the SUBJECT. nat SlTOHS CUHiplud
ton," says one, Paramount Blount and
Paramour Wilson. The former vouches
for the integrity of the latter and the lat
ter youcheS for the virtue of the queen.
Newspaper Men Dissa atisGed.
There is great dissatisfaction among the
newsi aper fraternity over the favoritism
displayed in making public Mr.. Blount's re-
port. 1t was furnished to the correspond
ents of those papers who have supported
the Presidents policy in this matter and
was carefully withheld from the press as
sociaticns and the correspondents of all
papers which have dared to question the
wisdom of the plan for the restoration
of the queen. 1t is even rumored that the
administration correspondents have been
in possession of copies of this report for
several days in order that they might en-
deavor to stem the tide of public indigna
ton at the attitude of the administration
as indicated in Secretary Gresham's argu-
ment to the President.
Judge COOley's Assistance.
Although the State Department officials
will not commit themselves on the question.
1t is generally accepted as a fact that Judge
Cooley of Michigan is in complete sympathy
with the administrators monarchial ten
dencies and that Secretary Gresham had the
benefit of his assistance in the preparation
of his report to the President.
