ASURPRISE IN BLOUNT'S REPORT


Baltimore Sun special.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The critics
of the administration are still engaged
in rolling the Hawaiian matter as a
sweet morsel under their tongues. They
are apparently having it all to- them
selves for the present, and naturally
enough they are endeavoring to make
the best of their opportunity. In the
the meantime not syllable has been
uttered by either the President or any
member OF his Cabinet. The President
is content to let the statement of the
Secretary of State stand alone until such
time as he deems it fitting to supple.
ment it with additional statements of
facts and additional reasons for the
policy he has deemed it best for this
country to pursue. In due season the
country will have the benefit of ali the
information collected by the admiuistra-
tion, and when it is all brought TO light
many of those who are following the
occupation of denunciation will be apt
to hide their diminished heads.
Many, however, true to their instincts,
will stick to their original text and
brazen it out to the last. Such q fine
opportunity for the lovers of gossip and
sansaticnr5c;1 mo. .cf.en present itself,
and 1t is really astonishing to witness
the ingenuity which has produced count

GUARDING THE BALLOT BOXES,

Watching the Cecil County Election Re-
turns, in View of the Probable Recount.
ELkroN, Nd, Nov. 14.-The court
house and clerks office were guarded
last-night by those selected by Messrs.
Crothers, Graham and Smith. For sew
eral nights past Mr.. Smith, clerk to the
County Commissioners and custodian
of the public buildings, has had Charles
S. Boulden, son of Bailih William L.
Balisden, ON guard in the court house,
while other guards on the other side
patrolled the street outside.
Last night James T. Graham, clerk of
the circuit court, went to see State
Senator-elect Charles @. Crothers, and
in the consultation which followed 1t
was agreed that Mr.. Graham should
keep Deputy Clerk John S. Green in
charge of the outer office, after securely
locking the doors to the main office,
where the ballot boxes, poll books and
records are, and retaining the key him
self. He was assisted by Mr.. lBoulden,
who had formerly been selected by
Smith, and also John r. Hogg, to repre-
sent Crothers.
In connection with the petition to the
court made by Mr.. G. j. White, the Re-
publican candidate for sheriff at the re-
cent election, asking that recount be
made of all the ballots, Judge Frederick
Stump, of the circuit court, has issued an
order to Sheriif-elect j. Albert Boyd,
D., to appear before the court Wednes-
day, November 22d, TO show cause why
Mr.. Whites request should not be
granted. There is little doubt that the
count will then be made.

the Queen of the Hawaiian Islands was
deposed by the stand taken by Minister
Stevens, in connivance with coterie of
foreign residents and others and with
the aid of United States marines, who
were accepted as representatives of
the authority of the United States.
The deposition of the Queen may, there
fore, be regarded as the result of the
use of force or policy totally at variance
with the Democratic policy. The resto-
ration of the Queen, 1t seems to me, il
brought about by any Intervention of
the United States through vote Of the
islanders, who are much more interested
in their government than we can posi-
bly, be, can be the only policy which
can bring about eventually the annexa-
ton Of the islands or the establishment
of protectorate, whichever should be
decided upon, and this policy, when
once established and which is to be es-
tablished by the Hawaiians themselves,
is the only policy which can be per-
manent because II will rest upon the
voluntary action of the Islanders them
selves. Is not this in perfect accord
with the Democratic doctrine? Does it
not permit the rule of the majority?
In other words, the action of Minister
Stevens was entirely unwarranted, and
the policy established by him must be
reversed before the United States will
have clear way to declare its perlna-
nent policy toward the islands. If the
islanders themselves, after the Hawaiian
government returns to its first princi-
Piles, shall declare in favor of annexa-
tion or a protectorate, this government

A Delaware Cave.

Down in Beaver Valley, Delaware,
there is large ledge of rock which has
an interesting history. 1t is known as
wolf rock and the story in relation to it
as told by an old resident is this: During
the late war it was the headquarters of
a number of the soldiers in the Union
Army, who were safe from intendents
as it contained a cave about one mile
long which was not known to even the
Oldest residents until being discovered
by the boys in blue. Into this cave the
soldiers would go to cook and eat the
chickens and the many other things
stolen by them. Some time after the
war an old man took up his residence
in the cave, where he lived until his
death, which occurred several years
after he had taken up his residence
there. Numerous stories were told about
the place until it became known as the
haunted rock and no one had the courage
to venture in far enough to see whether
it was haunted or not, but a number of
people in the neighborhood claim to
have seen ghosts and to have heard
strange sounds issuing from the deep
recesses of the rock. At present little
can be seen of the once famous cave
owing to the ravages of time having
caused the rocks to crumble away. The
only indications of its former appear
ance is large opening extending back
about 100 feet

CALCUTTA, INDIA, Nov. at is the
opinion Of certain of the foreign resi-
dents of India that the native nopula-
ton is growing more than ordinarily
res,ivc under British rule. 1t can be said
that close students of the Indian char
acter profess to believe that it would
take only small spark TO kindle fire
ofrevolution that would be far.reaching
in lis consequences.
There recently occurred in Peshawaur,
capital of tine district of the same name
in Punjab, series of alleged incendiaIy
fires that resulted in q great loss Of

Afghan frontier and is an important
strategic point, being, aside from its
military importance, tie northweat ter

Rumors are current TO the effect that
attempts were made at Raw Pinde,
another important point, to set fire to
the government stores.
The CioI and Military Gdzette of La

TRAGIC SUICIDE.


j. Carl Aker of delaware City Shoots
Himself Through the Head--His Family
Gets $4,000 Life Insurance.
Quite sensational suicide took place,
last Sunday, in Delaware City, when j.
Carl Aker, well-known baker of that
place, shot himself in the right temple,
causing instant death.
The statement is that about II o'clock
that night he went up to his daughters
room and quietly informed her of his
purpose to kill himself. On hearing
her father talk in that way, and fearing
from his manner that he might have
some such idea she shrieked out in
alarm. Her cries brought the Journey
man baker running upstairs, The latter,
Immediately perceiying how matters
stood, attempted to grasp Aker around
the body and take the pistol from him
that he was flourishing. The suicide
threw him off with great force.
"You're too late" the suicide yelled,
and putting the pistol to his right
temple the ball crashed through his
brain. He was dead almost instantly.
Mr.. Aker was doing good business
in Delaware City. He was a good
citizen and held in general estimation.
He leaves q wife and several children.
1t is stated that Aker has shown indica-
tions of dimentia for the last three days.
1t is stated also that he had made an at
tempt on his life on former occasion.
His life is insured with Delaware
Clark of this city in the New York Life
Insurance Company for $4,000.
Mr.. Clark was seen by Il reporter.
"Of course" the reporter said to Mr..
Clark, "thls being case of suicide the
family will lose the $5,000?"
mo, that is not the case at ALL" was
the agents reply. "The family will get
the $4,000. We make no conditions with
our policy holders but the simple one
that they pay their premiums punctually.
Mr.. Aker has been doing SO for two years.
All other matters being straight, his
family will get the full amount of
$4,000"

very much influenced in making his re-
port by some things that happened in
Washington some time before the revolu-
tion In the islands took place. 1t is known
here that several months before certain
men who nfterward took part in the revolu-
ton and held places under the provisional
government visited Washington and talked
with President Harrison, Secretary Blaine
and members of the committees on foreign
affairs iii both houses of Congress rs to
what would be the course of the United
States IN the event of successful revolu-
ton taking place and the islands being
offered to the United States. Mr.. Blount
was at that time chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations in the House
OF Representatives, and he was con-
suited by these gentlemen. Whether or
not they went so far as to propose that the
United States should be party to the pro-
posed uprising, and whether the President
consented and thus became party to the
conspiracy, is not known to the public
generally, but Mr.. Blount oil account of
the position lie then occupied, may know.

ceived by the steamer arriving at San

that the Hawaiians and the protectorate

President Dole.
Secretary Gresham says that it would be
impossible to hear of the effect Minister
Willis announcement had until the ar
rival of the steamer which sailed from
Honolulu last Saturday, or four days after
Admiral Skerrett departed. 1t is inferred
from this that Minister Willis was in
structed not to make known his COM
munication until after the steamer and
admiral had left. On Wednesday, after
the admiral and his family were we'll out
to sea, the minister, if he followed in

were accepted he presented the commune

MYSTIC CHAIN IN 4 rANenE.
Treasurer Lewis X. House, tlie "Star
Witness" Arrested ON Charge of Elm
bezZlement.

AASH6uteF LEWIS hs NhohSNf eNo
Witness" Arrested ON Charge of Em-
bezzlement.
Lewis X. House, treasurer of Fame
Castle, Knights of the Mystic Chain,
was arraignud before Justice of the
Peace Frank q. Smith, last night wsek,
charged with embe2zling the sum of
$144, money of the lodge, October 31st,
and at divers other times. The arrest
was made on affirmation of William o..
Beerbower, member of the order.
House admitted the truth of the
charge, but had no explanation to make.
The officers of the lodge say the pGcu-
lations have been in progress since last
July. House made false entries in his
bank book aud instead of depositing the
money to the credit of tine lodge, it is
charged that he appropriated it TO his
own use, taking care TO make the en-
tries in his bank hook, so as to show the
officers of the lodge that tho money had
been deposited in bank. Finally .hey
began to suspect House Of crooSedness.
The difference in the handwriting Of
the bank book entries aroused their sus-
picions and they asked House To ex-
plain the matter, which he did for q
time
Several weeks ago House was arrested
and taken before the judge of the mu-
nicipal court ON charge preferred by a
woman who accused him of the theft of
$40. This case Influenced the lodge
officers to investigate Houses doings in
the castle, which revealed his alleged
stealings.
House appeared as the star witness
for the Republicans in the Griflin-Ma-
guigan contest for a seat in City Council
at the hearing lastsummer, when Griffin
was unseated by the Republican MEM
bers and Maguigan installed in his
place.
