the extra session. Nobody need be
surprised to hear that Secretary Gresh-

now anything but desirable one In
stead of the vindication he thought the
publication of Blounts report would
bring him and the administration he
finds the public much more disposed
to accept the answer to that report
made by the Hawaiian Minister Mr..

Hawaiian revolution. Secretary Gresh-

There is one paragraph in Secretary
Carlisle's New "ork Chamber of Com
merce financial speech that, in view of
the methods of Mr. Cleveland. is
really amusing, particularly to demo-
cratic congressman not on good terms
