What the President Nay DO.

Mr.. J. M. Alexander of Oakland
puts in the following form a ques-
ton that has often been asked:
editor Morning Call In con-
sidering the assumption that the
Provisional Government of Hawaii,
established to exist until Hawaii is
annexed to the United States, ceases
to exist when President Cleveland
rejects its application for annexa-
ton, permit me to inquire whether
it is within the prerogative of Mr..
Cleveland to decide whether foreign
territory shall be annexed to the
United States, and whether there
fore his attempted rejection of an
nexation will have any meaning?
The determination of the Presi-
dents prerogative in his dealings
with Hawaii may be as important
as the acquisition of valuable new
territory"
The President of the United
States may submit a proposed trea-
ty to the Senate, or he may with
hold one. His submission of one
implies such favorable action on
his part as may be necessary, in
the event of the ratification of the
proposed treaty by the Senate, to
its proclamation as an agreement
binding upon the Governments that
are parties to it. The action of
President Cleveland in withhold
ing the proposed Hawaiian treaty
was in accordance with the provis-
ions of the constitution. The
proposition to annex the islands
involved a matter of policy which
an incoming President has right
to dissent from. The submission of
the treaty by President Harrison
was not in the nature Of an act &C
complished which a succeeding
President was bound to recognize.
The rejection of the annexation
proposition by President Cleveland
will have the meaning of postpone
ment. There is no process known
to the Constitution by which the
President can be forced to a policy
of which he does not approve.
Public opinion may induce him to
change his course, but neither Con-
gress nor the courts can compel
him to so long as he acts within
the limitations the Constitution
places upon his Office. There is no
ground for the assumption that the
Presidents action is not final dur
ing his Administration if he
chooses to make it so. But there
is no necessary limitation to the
existence of the Provisional Gov
eminent, except that it shall cease
to exist when the islands become a
part of the United States. Mr..
Cleveland may be able to prevent
annexation during his term, but
not after his term expires. If the
Provisional Government should
maintain its authority until March
4, 1897, and if the succeeding Adj
ministration should favor annexa-
ton, the act might then be accom-
plished.

Il SOUTHERN VIEW.

1t is evident, says the New Or
leans Picayune, that there is much
to tell in the Hawaiian matter yet.
Secretary Gresham declines to i'm
part any information on the sub
iect whatever. The discussion of
the policy towards Hawaii at the
| last Cabinet meeting seems to have
! given information to some members
of the Administration that have
lacked il heretofore. Bits of talk on
the subject have trickled through
to the public since then In way
that does not indicate that the
source of the information is friend
ly to the policy. 1t is evident that it
is not a policy friendly to the pres
ent Provisional Government of the
islands or the purpose for which it
was formed, which was annexation
to the United States. There is rea-
son to believe that the present
Provisional Government in Hawaii
is regarded as the result of the
landing of marines from the Bos-
ton in Honolulu at the time of the
revolution, and as already stated
in these dispatches the desire of
this Administration is to go back
over all the steps taken by the last
Administration and undo them.
Well informed persons who COM
ment on these facts point out the
difficulty for the United States
Government in deposing the Pro-
visional Government in diploma
tic way, after formally having re-
cognized it as a lawful government
Of the islands, received its accredi-
ted diplomatic representatives and
accredited a United States minister
to it. There seems to be no au-
thority for believing the United
States minister has been given the |
power to exercise anything more |
than a moral influence to secure a
establishment of the conditions |
in the islands that obtained before |
the recent revolution. The fact |
that such an influence is to be tried |
indicates that there is some hope |
that it will succeed. Bnt there is
practical unanimity among those
well acquainted with the islands
that no mere moral suasion will
ever serve to depose the Provisional
Government and re-establish the
queen.
The further policy to be pursued
must then, probably, wait for fur
Their instructions. The United
States navy will view with little
any effort to restore
Queen Liliuokalani in Honolulu.
Officers in the navy have been ar
dent annexationists, and the opin-
ion has prevailed among them that
Queen Liliuokalani represented the
British interests in the islands.
Just at present they are very dis
Greet about expressing any opinion
On the subject.

More Battle Ships.

Secretary Herbert believes in the
necessity of powerful fighting ships
for the United States navy. His
views on this subject are well
known, and it is understood that
his Forthcoming report to Congress
will embody a recommendation
that an appropriation be made for
at least one, if not two, battle ships.
His recommendation for battle
ships is likely to be coupled with
a suggestion that half a dozen tor
pedo boats are also needed as valu.
able auxiliaries in time of war

Hoke Smith Does Not Like 1t.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is re-
lated of Hoke Smith that when
Cleveland first opened his Hawai-
ian budget to the Cabinet, he felt
like the green soldier when first
under fire. He would have run
had any one set the example. Hoke
now admits, indeed he wishes 1T to
be understood, that had Morton,
Herbert, or any one objected he
would have followed suit. But he
was afraid to say anything. He
dared not say his soul was his own.
And this is the way the Policy of
Infamy was carried through the
Cabinet.-N. Y. Sun.

LAUGnABLE STORM 1NoIDENT.
An Irishman's Cyclone Insurance Foley
and How lie Got the Laugh on His
Smart NeiEhbors.

An Irishnan's Cyclone Insurance Policy
and How lie Got the Laugh on His
smart Neighbors.
A prominent real estate agent of this
city tells very amusing story OF the
brightness of an Irish owner of property
who was sufferer in Friday nights
storm. The Irishman's house is in the
southeastern part of the city. 1t was UNI
rooted and otherwise badly damaged in
the storm. The next morning he was
surrounded by his neighbors who
offered their sympathy and, some Of
them, substantial aid In helping him to
temporary comfort.
"0h, Pm all right" the happy look
ing son of Erin replied; I'm insured
The people stared at him in wonder,
supposing him ignorant, as, OF course,
fire policy would be of no use under
the circumstances. However, as he still
persistently maintained his happy, in
different expression, the neighbors let
him alone, feeling indisposed to inter
fere with his brief, as they supposed it,
season of happiness. They left 1t in
the hands Of the real estate agent who
managed his limited business affairs to
break the unpleasant news to him that
fire insurance policy is of use only in
case of fire.
All in good time Saturday morning
the agent came around to see how
matters stood after the storm. OF course
he was quickly informed by the busy
neighbors of the foolish Irishman's
singular illusion.
On reaching his clients house the
agent spoke to the man in as kindly q
way as he could. He saw that the pool
fellow was in for big loss of severa
hundred dollars at least through the
damage done by the big wind. "Oh
I'm all right" the Irishman broke gu
again, his face beaming with merry con
tidence, as he added, I'm richer b.
several hundred dollars on my insurance
policy than | was Friday morningW
''What on earth do you meanY" thu
agent rather testify replied, "you know
that your fire insurance is no use to 20,
for damage done by storm?" III
ha " Pat rejoined, laughing aloud as h
pulled out strange looking paper iron
his pocket, EDO you suppose I've beel
living in the neighborhood of Genera
Wilson's house ever since that bi
cyclone, and not taken care of myself?
"Do you see thatr" he shouted. THAT
cyclone policy"
So it was and is probably the onl
one in the city. The 1rishman is a
right The policy is quite good and h
will, as he said, soon rebuild and have
better house than he had at the begir
ming of last week.

ANOTHER PAsTEUR PATIENE.

Ex-PoIice Omcer william II. Updyke
Leaves for the Pasteur Institute, for
Treatment.
Ex-Police Officer William II. Updyke
left Friday evening for New York city,
to become patient at the Pasteur Insti-
tute. Mr.. Updyke was until few days
ago the owner of a valuable setter dog.
Sunday the animal showed signs Of
sickness and Mr.. Updyke thought moth
ing serious of the matter until Tuesday
morning, when the dogs condition
grew worse.
The owner was administering medi-
cine when the saliva from the dogs
mouth covered his hand and some of it
got into a sore on his hand. This did
not alarm him for the time being, but
that evening the dog showed signs OF
hydrophobia.
DR.. John P. Wales was summoned
and attended Updyke, while DIR. IL. T.
Ewes made an examination OF the dog,
the result being he was ordered killed.
A quantity of chloroform was pur'
chased and the next day the dog was q
corpse.
Drs. Wales and Ewes advised Updyke
to go Immediately to New York to the
Pasteur Institute, but owing to pres.
sure of duty he did not get off unit
Friday, when he took his first hypoder
mic treatment.
Updyke was police officer under ex
Mayors Wales and Harrington, but o
| late years has been employed as car
penter by the Harlan & Holllngswortl
| Company.

One Man Killed and Much Damage Done
in Wreck Near Newport Friday.

III q Wreck Near Newport Friuny'
A wreck occurred on the Pniladel-
phia, Wilmington & Baltimore railroad,
about one mile south of Newport at
3 o'clock Friday afternoon, resulting
in the death of one man and causing
considerable damage to property. The
wreck interfered with traffic for period
of six hours, and during that time travel
both north and south was blocked.
The accident was caused by freight
train breaking in two, the hind end
running into the front cars, throwing
one of them across the south-bound
track. The freight was proceeding
north at moderate rate of speed and
when the train parted th3 engineer
blew for brakes owing to the fact that a
hot box had been discovered. Almost at
this time the train separated and the
rear ran into the cars attached to the
engine throwing one clear across the
south-bound track.
When the southern fast express came
along running ut a rate of so miles an
hour it crashed into the car which was
hanging across the track. This drove the
car into the adjoining one and two
freight cars and the locomotive were
piled up on the track. The engineer re-
versed his engine as soon as possible
and jumped, while the fireman re,
manned in his cab. The track for 800
feet was covered with splinters OF box
cars and debris of the wreck.
A wrecking train was dispatched from
this city as soon as possible and men
were put to work clearing up the wreck.
Trains north and south were blocked
until nearly 10 o'clock, when traffic was
again restored. Several trains were lying
in the shed at the station, while q num-
Der were at the west yard and at various
other places along tue road.
The man who was killed in the wreck
was well dressed, wore diamond pin
in his scarf and had dark moustache. A
memorandum found in his pocket bort
the name of Clarence Lowman.
