responsibility for the administrations
Hawaiian policy. In conversation with
a personal friend he stated he had moth
ing to do with framing the policy, which
was inaugurated by paramount"
Blount, and which was sought to be
enforced by Minister Willis. The secre-
tary etated that before he was invited to
his seat in the cabinet Cleveland had
formulated his Hawaiian policy !;
that he had declared the dethronenent
of the queen unjust and his determina-
ton to re-enthrone her; that the presi-
dent, without consulting the secretary
of state. determined upon the appoint
ment of special commissioner and se-
lected Blount without the knowledge of
the secretary of state. and in fact the
latter officer scarcely knew Blount at
sight at that time. The secretary OF
state said further that the Instructions
to Blount, also those to Willis, were
prepared at the White House. The in
timation is made by him that he scarce
ly knew at the time of Blount's depart
ure for Honolulu what his instructions
were, for they we're not only prepared
at the White House but delivered by

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Nov. "a Light
winds, smooth sea, with perfect day
for the great race against time, were the
conditions under which the Olympia
started on her official trial trip over the
course in Santa Barbara channel. While
thus favored, the trip ie yet failure,
not on. account OF the Olympia'a in
feriority, but because of slight &C.
cident to her machinery. The cruiser
had gone over the course, from east to
west, at an average speed Of 22.02 knots
per hour. turned and started back at a
still greater speed. Shortly after enter
ing this run email bolt in one OF the
feed PUMPS gave out, this necesuitated
starting the auxiliary pumps in the port
boilers. The water in the boilers then
got to foaming and the port engine WAS
stopped for q short time, making the
abandonment OF today's run necessary.
The ship continued on her course at e
good speed, nevertheless. but shortly
after reaching Goleta point elowed down
and came into the hsrbor without going
over the course. She dropped anchor
at 10 p. m.
The average OF the revolutions OF the
engines during the trip was 140; max
imum, 142. The boilers steamed easily
at 160 pounds pressure. The cruiser
kept at nearly the average speed during
the entire 43 knots, and did not vary one
knot while on the course. Themax.
imum epeed was 1926. which was kept
up for several miles.
The break does not seem to disconcert
Mr.. Scott, who is more thanwell pleased
with the great speed displayed by the
cruiser when the machinery was in per-
feet condition. Engineer Eckart says
that another trial will be taken as soon
as the break can be repaired and the
engines cleaned, which means that the
Olympia will probably start on her
second trial tomorrow morning.
The corrected average speed of the
Olympia for the run of 43 knots is % Is
instead of 22.02, as first reported, The
maximum speed was 22.86 Knots. In
view of today's splendid showing, al
though spoiled by triHing acci-
dent, the Olympia's builders, the Union
iron works, are confident the ship will
on the official trial average at least %
knots, earning premium of 100000.
The weather is stormy tonight and pos
eibly tomorrow the trip will be post
poned.
Later-Engineer Eckart now gives the
average speed of the cruiser for the 43
knots at 22.2; this is revised and cor
reCted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a The Demo
cratic members of thu ways and means
committee are experiencing much diff
Guilty in their endeavors to complete the
new tariff bill and have it ready Tor
submission to their Republican col
leagues at the meeting OF the full COM
mittee on Monday next. The details oi
the internal revenue schedule and the
income tax provisions are yet incom-
piete and somewhat indefinite. Indeed,
etrong influence has been brought to
bear within the last 4S hGare teeindace
the committee to abandon altogether the
income tax provision; but the position
of McMillin, Bryan. Whiting and others
has been go resolute in favor Of this
policy that it appears impossible for the
committee to abandon the income tax
fully without hopelessly dividing the
Democratic party. 1t seems probable,
however, that the income tax provision
will not be of the sweeping character
that was at first contemplated. The
present plans are to impose tax on
legacies; on the incomes OF large cor
porations; on the incomes OF real estate
and other property in the country
owned or controlled by aliens, as we'll as
to require the stamping of certain docu-
ments and special license for certain

SAN BERNARDINo, Nov. 24.-The 40
unemployed men who left this city on
loot yesterday afternoon, having failed
in two attempts to force freight train
to carry them to Barstow, proceeded TO
Caion station, about Is miles from this
city, where they again took possession
of the first passing freight train. The
trainmen refused to carry them and the
train was compelled to stand on the side
track all night.
This morning Railroad Detective
( Burns, Sheriff Booth and deputies and
constables proceeded to Cajon and
arrested so of the men and brought
them into this city. Warrants wer e
served on them charging them wi tn
misdemeanor in riding on railroad and
attempting to fraudulently evade the
payment OF fare under section 8 OF the
statutes of 1870.
These men left Los Angeles three days
ago in an organized body, on representa-
tions that work could be had upon the
Prescott and Santa Fe railroad, now be-
ing built in Arizona. An agent OF the
contractors on that road wrote q letter
to ID. R. Mcdonald, of the employment
firm of Reed & Co., to send on 40 men,
and that the men could organize and
beat their way over the railroads. In
compliance with this letter the 40 men
beat their way over the Southern Pacific
to Cotton, from which place they walked
to San Bernardino. After two fruitless
attempts to capture train in this city,
they tramped to Cajon.
This afternoon they were all taken be-
fore Justice Knox in charge of half 6
dozen constables, where they will be
given until tomorrow morning in which
to plead.
