the United States are to be called IN 10
protect their persons and property, it
does seem that our government en-
courages them to lawlessness and its
good faith is impugned. My present
impression is that the existing govern
ment owes its being and its mainte-
nance to this perverted influence. The
protection of the persons and property
of American citizens here has come to
mean aid to or enforcement OF the laws
whenever force is used against existing
authority. This may be used to create
a new government and maintain it"
In regard to the reported missing
$50, 900 package of money for the Gill
zens National Bank of Muncle, Ind, IL
is stated at the Treasury Department
this morning that the package was
shipped on Monday afternoon from
here and has probably reached its des-
tination by this time. No uneasiness
is felt as to its safety.
Secretary Carlisle will return from
New York tonight. His report to
Congress is far from finished and he
will devote himself almost exclusively
to it for the next ten days,
President Cleveland, this morning,
appointed Andrew j. Arnold postmas-
ter at Topeka, Kan, vice Frank 5.
Thomas removed. Mr. Thomas was
appointed postmaster in April last, and
was removed in consequence of the dis
approval by the department of certain
acts of his in connection with the re-
cent removal of a number of republican
carriers and clerks in the Office at To-
peka. 1t appears that Mr.. Thomas
made certain charges against these en-
ployees, and upon his statement the
charges were approved and the dismis-
sal of the carriers and clerks ordered.
Subsequent investigation discovered to
the department officials that the post
master was too partisan, and this,
taken together with the posting of
notice in the office at Tokeka that the
dismissal of the men named was "by
order of the Postmaster General instead
of stating that it was upon the APP
proyal of the Postmaster General ofthe
postmaster's recommendation" led the
department authorities to make the
change.
The State Department will of course
take no notice of the publication Of
Minister Thurston's reply to Commits
sioner Blount's report. None of the Of
ficials there care to discuss the matter
with view to publication of their
views, but privately it is intimated that
the minister has adopted an extraordi.
nary course; that he has violated all
the prophecies of diplomatic inter-
course, and that in any other country
than the United States he would be i'm
mediately furnished with his passport,
which is the diplomatic method of init
mating to minister that he is persona
non grata and had better take his de-
parture. The officials referred to stood
mute when there was brought to
their attention the published report
report that Queen Liliuokalani had
been restored to the Hawaiian throne
Yesterday. In view of the limitations
that have been dropped, to the effect
that the radical features of Minister
Willis's instructions would develop
soon after, and not before the sailing
last Thurday from Honolulu of the
steamship Alameda, which is due at
| San Francisco tomorrow, and that
stirring events were expected to occur
about that time, it cannot be said that
the report is entirely discredited here
But if this extreme step has been tax
en-, at the time indicated, the American
public will not be made aware Of it by
any news likely to come by means Of
the Alameda tomorrow, and owing
to the gap of twenty days in the mai
service caused by the wreck of the
steamer Miomera, the public must wall
many days for that news, unless some
thing comes to hand by way Of China
through some outward bound steamer
touching at Honolulu.
People from Norfolk here to-day say
that of the few republicans who have
been removed from the navy yarc
there, in order that their places might
be given to democrats, nearly all are
now filling other positions in the same
yard.
Senator Hunton called upon the new
Assistant Secretary of State this morn
ing with Mr.. Freeman of Norfolk, and
Mr.. Burgess, formerly of Culpeper, Vir'
ginia, but now of Arizona, both o.
whom are applicants for consular posi-
tions. Mr.. Uhl told them that he was
entirely new to the business and had
not yet talked with the President in re-
spect of foreign appointments, but
would do so at an early date and could
then give them more definite answer
Incidentally Mr.. Uhl said he knew
nothing of Mr.. Hampton Hoge except
what he had read in the newspapers.
Judge Hughes, of the U. S. Court for
the eastern district of Virginia, is in the
city to-day. He is great admirer OF
fast horses and looked at some of the
racing stock at BenDings.
The impression is strengthening
among Virginians here that Mr.. Mar-
tin is in the lead for the Senatorship
from Virginia, and it is said that some
of the members OF the Virginia legisla-
ture whom General Lee has counted
among his supporters, supposing that
Mr.. Martin will be elected, have now
changed their minds, being DESTROYS of
getting on what they think will be the
strong side. Senator Hunton thinks
the fight between Martin and Lee will
be so hot that as compromise both
sides will agree to elect him, but less
interested people say there is no chance
of such contingency, and that he
ought to be satisfied with rounding out
the late Senator Barbour's full term.
A piano store on Pennsylvania
Avenue near Adams express Office was
