will prove conclusively that the charges
made by General Farley arr false.
This philippe against me is out the
fultillment of the scheme as concocted
last March. The scheme, however,
was amended by leaving out Governor
Tillman for reasons which must be ap-
parent to every sensible person. Gen
eral Farley reasons thus: ! will abuse

came into your room (whprc stayed

hand sometime during Saturday night,
week after the inauguration Of Grcv-
er Cleveland. When he entered the
room you asked him TO rehparSe as
nearly as possible the conversation he
tween him and General Farley at the
metropolitan Hotel that day. He un.
hesitatlngly and promptly told the fol-
lowing facts:
That General Farley had read to him
communication addressed to the Re
formers Of South Carolina, rather uc-
nunclatory than otherwise OF Tlllman
ana lrhy as leaders of the party, and
asked Tlllman to have it published IN
the Atlanta Constitution under Il H"Hi

minister Stevens Reply.
Bangor Wing and Courier }


On another page this morning we publish
the reply Of Minister Stevens to the Sian
Il. rous r, port made by Paramount Blount
and given to the public by the Cleveland adj
miuirrati0n. IL is q document that will be
read sith deep interest by the people Of the
mole country whose Indignation has been
aroused by the shameful attitude of the ad-
nifi .traiion 10 dealing with this question
Mr.. Stevens exposes the partisan spirit in
which Mr.. Biount entered upon the dis
barge of his duties. q partisanship which
has marked his entire course and which has
led him to accept utterly untruthful state
rnents from worthless class of citizens
18th whom he seemed to be in complete
fellowship during his stay on the islands
lie declined with scant courtesy the offer
of cottage at the same rate he was charged
at the hotel. preferring TO locate himself
where he would he in close contact with the
members of the royalist party, to whose
testimony alone he lent willing ear.
The scathing reply of Mr.. Stevens, forth
fed as it is with official data, and coming
from one whose unsupported word would
be sufficient TO O. r. conviction to the mind
Of any unprej JUDGED person, completes the
humili alton of an administration that has
selected for its representative an ex-rebel,
whose rsncorous hatred of the flag was
demonstrated the moment he reached the
Islands, and has been forced as last resort
to send out the testimony of the ex-Queen' =
paramour, a man, who, according TO the
very statements selected by Blount with all
his craftsmanship, ought to be hung for the
crimes he has committed

Ex-Minister Stevens Speaks.


The reply Of ex Minister Stevens to the
stupid and malignant report made by Para
mount Blouut is comprehensive, convincing
and decisive. But it was not necessary in
order to enable the American public to ar
rive at verdict on the Blount report.
That extraordinary production betrayed too
plainly its own character and the purpose
Of its author. It showed that Blourt VAS
s,nt to Honolulu, not to get the truth, hut
10 frame any kind of fslsehood that
would ht the precouceived Judgment of
Cleveland and Gresham. Mr.. Stevens
sho~. that Blounts report is fIli, not
merely of misstatements but of absolute.
uniisguised fictions, which can only b. sc-
counted for by the surroundings which Mr..
Bount deliberately sought On any qnes-
ton of veracity the American people v i'll
be with the venerable diplomat whose life
of - years has never been stained by DIS
loyalty or dishonor.
Mr. Stevens shows, in hls clear, unim-
psssioned narrative, that the revolution
which overthrow the monarchy was the re-
suit of the Queens attempt to overthrow
the constitution. and that American ma
rines gave no aid in establishing the pro-
vi,ional government. One of the mort
important misstatemenis of Blonpt WAS
to the effect that Messrs. Thurston and
Smith. two leading members of the revulu-
,ionsry committee, had appealed To the
American minister to protect them in the
event of their arrest by the authorities, and
that he. Mr.. Stevens. gave his assent. Mr..
Stevens says that there lie NOT seniblsnce
of truth in the assertion, that Blount never
even limited such charge to Mr.. Stevens,
and that the latter never heard of II until
he found it in Blouut's printed report. 1t is
on the basis of such a report that Cleveland
and Gresham have undertaken to perform
an act of infamy against the Constitution OF
the United States and the recognized gov
eminent of Hawaii only paraleled by their
infamous attempt to discredit and blot the
reputation of an ex-minister.
