VIII BE Necessary to Protect the
Queen, Says N Private Letter.
The mail from Honolulu brought by the
Alameda reached Washington yesterday
A letter received by a gentleman in this
city contained the following:
The political situation here Is UNCHANGED
except that public feeling is at a tension
All are waiting for developments. Mr.. Will
lis has not made public anything further
than that he has instructions, and will act
when the occasion arrives.
The community is filled with rumors Of
all kinds. The natives have been so much
stirred up that the government has increas-
ed the forces at the executive building, add
ing volunteer company to the force, and
has extra reliable men at the station
house. The government is ready to declare
martial law IL 1t seems necessary
The natives have been filled with the
idea that If they can make rush and over
whelm the guards and get possession but
for the brlefest time the United States
forces will protect them.
1t seems shame that we are kept in
suspense 50. There is a deep feeling of dis
quietude and sense of impending danger
Personally, do not think there will be an
outbreak. We never were so fully prepared
and God have mercy on them If they come
on; but we don't want disorder or blood
she'd
How long the community is to be held in
this wretched suspense remains to be seen
The Alameda is in from the colonies and
brings news that President Cleveland
means to restore the queen. We don't be-
lieve 1t. If it is true, 1t will have to be
done by United States forces, and they will
have to keep her there; and 1t is doubtful
If they can protect her Hfe.'

WHISKY THE CAUSE.
Gov. West Says Drink Leads to Most
Indian Disturbances.


Gov Caleb w. West of Utah tells some in
teresting facts about the poverty Of the
Navajoe Indians of that territory. He
thinks that the principal cause of their
distress is the whisky traffic. Their love
Of drink is so great that they will sell the
last head of stock to crafty it. Small store
keepers abound on all sides of the reser-
walton, whose ostensible business is the ex-
change of goods for the wood and pelts of
the Indians, but whose real business Is the
Illicit sale of whisky. These violators of
law cannot be brought to justice excepting
by the expenditure of large sums of money.
Gov, West says that so far as he has been
able to learn, there has not been a conflict
between Indians and settlers for a number
of years which was not caused directly by
the sale of whisky to the former. The fees
Of marshals will not warrant them in in
curing the expense of securing testimony
Necessary to convict. Then, again, these
stores are located in isolated places, where
this illegal trade may be pursued with i'm
punity.
AS a general thing the Indians will not
peach on a man who sells them drink,
and it is very hard to convict a man on
the testimony of an Indian, because the
word of a redskin does not carry great
weight with juror. The traffickers make
big profits and are therefore willing to take
big risks. Then they terrorize those who
might inform on them. Their honest neigh
bors are afraid of them. If resident at
tempted their arrest and conviction he
could not live peaceably thereafter The
Indians would be induced to run off his
stock, his property would be destroyed
and if these failed to accomplish his re-
moval his life might be taken. Governor
West thinks that the government should
appoint two or three deputy marshals or
detectives, who should remain near the
border, engage in some occupation and
mingle with the law breakers till they had
secured enough testimony to convict their
men. few convictions of the leaders
would put an end to the nefarious traf-

every honest citizen, from the illustrious
President down to the most humble work

do not know them, or who are not animated
by the spirit of the church, and are want

college of st. Aloysius well deserves to be
situated in the seat of the federal govern
ment, and We may say to rest under the
shadow of the Capitol. Young men, you

ing. The details of the plan are gradually
assun ing a definite form. 1t will exempt
individual incomes and will apply only in .
general way to inheritances and corpora
tions.
The data furnished by the Treasury De-
partment shows that during the ten years
the tax was in existence the receipts In
round numbers were $314.0oQ0o0. High
water mark was reached I'm 1866. During
that year the receipts aggregated S73, 1900, 600,
and in the year following they were s6I,-
OOO.OOO. The great increase in population
and wealth since then leads the committee
to believe that tax on corporations alone
will furnish a considerable amount OF the
by the reduction in tariff duties.
Chairmai Wilson now believed that s35..
O0O,ooO will cover the decrease in revenues
from imports caused by the bill just made
public. He reached this conclusion after a
careful examination of the new tariff bill,
and this conclusion is shared by Secretary
Carlisle. with whom the chairman has had
repeated conferences.
A tax of ten cents a pack on playing
cards has been suggested, and will, no
doubt be adopted. as all the majority men,
bers regard the proposition favorably.
The committee have reached no under
standing as yet regarding whisky. II is
not likely that the tax will be increased
beyond ten cents a gallon, with fair
probability that 1t may remain untouched.

O'Brfen Makes an Important Recon-
mendatfOn.

Mr.. Z. C. O'Brien, the retiring commits
sioner of navigation, does not leave his Of
nee without making something of stir by
means of his annual report. He epitomizes
his conclusions in the suggestion that there
be established an executive department
known as the Department of Commerce.
Such a department should, in his opinion.
embrace the eleven different bureaus of
the Treasury Department which have TO do
with such subjects; also the bureau of
American republics of the State Depart
ment, the Pacific railroad commission of
the Interior Department, the improvement
OF the rivers and harbors of the War De-
partment, the photographic office of the
Navy Department, the fish commission of
the interstate commerce commission.
The tonnage of the country exhibited an
increase from 4, ,I6J, ,921 in 1892 to t. S25 OF in

THE SAMOAN DISASTER.
Lieut.. DavenpOrt's Position Before the
Naval Court of Inquiry.

Lieut. r. G. Davenport stated to a Star
reporter today that the published state
ment that he claimed that the Nipsic was
saved through his efforts and that he was
the only cool-headed officer on the beach at
the time of the Samoan disaster does him
great injustice, as will be clearly shown in
the court of inquiry which is now being held
at the Navy Department. He said that he
never made such an utterly foolish claim,
for it would be casting discredit TO every
man on the Nipsic, and would be antago-
nistic to every naval officer there. The
whole affair will be clearly explained by the
court of inquiry proceedings. and he simply
asked the public to await the result of the
court to show Just what he claimed and
proved.
Mr.. Davenport also said that the state
ment attributed to his counsel, Lieut.. VAIN
right, that some one may get hurt by
the testimony before the court was not
true as Mr.. wainwright emphatically states
that there will be no attempt to inJure any
one, but simply to vindicate him, Lieut.

A FIGHT LOOKED FOR.
There VIII BE Fun When Brazilian
ships Meet.

The first naval engagement for years is
likely to take place within the next week
of the coast OF Bfazik 1t will be a fight
between the Republica, one of Admiral
Mello's insurgent vessels, and the America
and the Nictheroy, the two ships recently
purchased in New York for the Piexoto
government.
Minister Mendohca has received a cable
announcing the arrival yesterday of the
Nictheroy at one OF the West India islands.
The cable stated that the vessel had be-
haved beautifully; that she had been
speeded to her full capacity. and that her
officers were delighted with her splendid
sailing qualities Senior MeI.ionca expects
some time tonight to hear of the arrival of
the America at the same port. The two
vessels will then leave in company within
the next twelve hours for Brazil. They
left New York under sealed orders. These
orders will be opened when they sail from
the West Indies. They will steam direct to
one of the ports in northern Brazil, where
they will receive instructions from Rio.
which will govern their future movements.
The America and the Nictheroy are looking
for the rebel cruiser Repablica, and If they
meet, says the minister, there will be
trouble. The Piexoto vessels are so fear
full Of missing the Republica that each of
their captains carries a large-sized picture
of the Republica. Their instructions from
the minister are to avoid a fight but the
minister shakes his head sadly and says
significantly that he is very much afraid
the crews will disregard his instructions
He says they are the most determined lot of
men he ever saw, and, as he expresses it.
literally spelling for fight" II they do
fight the minister thinks they will make
mince meat of the Republica. The Repub-
lica, Mr.. Mendonca, says, is the only ves-
sci of any size that the rebel chief has on
the ocean. The Republica thinks the
America and the Nictheroy are only carry
ing working crews, and for that reason
will have no hesitancy in attacking them
That. the minister says, is where the fun
will come in. Admiral Mello's other yes-
sells, says the minister are shut up in the
harbor of Rio and are unable to pass the
forts at the entrance, and while IL is true
Mello has three torpedo boats on the coast
which are looking for the America and the
Nictheroy, the commanders of these vessels
are on the lookout for the torpedo boats
and are not likely to be taken unawares

merchantmen, carrying few rapld-fre
guns. all of whom combined could not

PROF. PROCTOR APPOINTED.
He Will Succeed Mr.. johnson as Civil
Service Commissioners.

Service COmmfssfoner.
President Cleveland has appointed Mr..
John r. Proctor OF Kentucky TO succeed
Mr.. Johnston as civil service commissioner
Mr.. Proctor is not a politician. but is said
to be a man of considerable ability. He is
the state geologst of Kentucky and has
been a college professor. He is we'll known
to the Kentucky Congressman, but has
rever been pressed for any office. When
he was in Washington last summer he
called upon the President and his talk with
him seemed to leave a good impression, for
his selection was announced almost i'm
mediately after the dismissal of Mr.. John
ston, thereby making it appear that he had
been considered before. While a native Of
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Proctor served in the
confederate army.
Well Received.
The appointment is very favorably COM
mented on by those who know Prof. Proc
tor. He is said to be democrat without a
flaw in his record. but has never been a
practical politician. He is essentially a
scholar and a writer. a man of fine attain
ments, and possesses social qualities which
have rendered him popular in the highest
classes of intelligent society. He has been
state geologist for Kentucky during a num-
contributor to the Forum and other high
class periodicals. With civil service reform
he is thoroughly in sympathy, and is a per-
sonal friend of Commissioner Roosevelt and
Senator Lindsey, and is well and favorably
known to Secretary Carlisle and Senator
Blackburn. His appointment, it is said,
will be favorably received by civil service
reformers generally and by wide circle of
students and literary men in all parts of
the country. He is said to be a man of
pleasing manners, bright and agreeable in
conversation and of practical judgment in
business affairs. He is not exactly a man
of the world in the common acceptance of
the term, but is a man of men and of
affairs, possessing many accomplishments.
In appearance he is a man of good presence,
about medium height, Of slender build, with
brown hair. mingled with gray, and wears
southern style.
1t is believed that he will make an ad-
mi bile commissioner.

cablegram from Capt. Picking, command

that Capt. Picking had heard reports of

character, at Pernambuco. The officer,
however, discredits the authenticity of the
reports There have been unofficial re-
ports, which are also discredited by the
Brazilian minister, Of a revolutionary move
ment at Para, and 1t is surmised that in
some way the two places, both on the north

fused in one or the other Of these reports
There were certain details in Capt. Pick
