MIR. wILBUR'S ULTIMATUM.
He Agrees to Take Back Old LehiRh
Valley Employees.

The members of the New York and New
Jersey boards Of arbitra tors, who held a
conference with President Wilbur, First
Vice President Sayre AMI General Man
ager Voorhees, at the Lehigh Valley rail-
road office in Bethlehem yesterday after
noon, arrived at Philadelphia last night,
and proceeded at once to the Bingham
House, where they met the strike leaders
President Wilbur's ultima tum, which the
arbitrators brought with them, was given
to the representatives of the strikers for
their consideration. 1t reads as follows:
Mr.. E. p. Wilbur states the position of
the Lehlgh Valley Railroad Company to
be as follows: The company agrees to
take back as many of its old employees as IL
can find places for without any prejudice
on account of the fact that they
struck or that they are connected
with any labor organization: that
when in the employ of the road commit
tees from the various classes of employees
Will be received, as stated in the bulletin
or November u, and their grievances con-
sidered and justly treated, and that in en-
ployinS man in the future the COMPANY
Will give preference to former employees
when the strike is declared off,
The strike leaders and arbitrator were
together until nearly O'clock and when
they got through talking the latter left for
their homes. The arbitrator declined TO
give out any statement with regard to the
probable outcome of their effort to mediate
between the opposing sides, merely saving
that their labors were at an end.

Mr.. STEVENS REPLY.
The EX-Minister to Hawaii Arraigns
Blount's Policy.
HIS own COURSE AT HONOLULU.
Retaliation of Charges Made by
the Administration.
ALL THE FACTS IN THE CASE.

Ex-Minister to Hawaii Stevens, at Au-
gusta, Me-, has given out the following
answer to Commissioner Blount:
A deep sense of obligation to my country
and an Americans duty to defend an in
suited, threatened and struggling American
colony, planted as righteously and firmly on
the North Pacific isles as our Pilgrim
fathers established themselves on Plymouth
Rock, demand that l shall make an answer
to the astounding Misrepresentation and
untruths Of Commissioner Blount's report
on Hawaiian affairs, copy of which
first obtained with difficulty, Saturday even
ming, November %.
1t Is proper for me to preface my answer
by briefly abiding to the fact that those
familiar with international rules and pro-
ceedings and who have had diplomatic ex-
perience must be astonished that Secretary
Gresham and his commissioner should make
before the world such persistent effort to
discredit the recent agents of the depart
ment they now represent and which was
once represented by Thomas Jefferson, Will
lam NJ. Marcy. William H. Seward and
James G. Blaine. The general adoption of
such policy by our department OF foreign
affairs could not fail to weaken greatly our
influence with foreign countries in any
future effort, and serve to make the Amer
lean diplomatic service contemplate in the
eyes of the world
Not only is the course Of Gresham and
Blount extremely un-American in its form
and spirit but it is also in direct opposition
to the civiizing and Christianizing influence
on the Hawaiian Islands, while 1t is PLAYING
into the British hands, in direct opposition
or the efforts of the American board of mis-
slons and to the American government for
more than sixty years, in all Of which Pc
riod there has been a uniform, continuous
and patriotic American policy. 1 may also
make preliminary remark regarding the
repeatedly asserted opinion of those who
have assailed my official action, that 1 was

from the japanese minister and from the
Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs. of the
renewal of the demand of the right of suf

a powerful iron-clad be Immediately sent tn
Honolulu, though IL was known that a
smaller japanese warship was about 10

talnly was not strange that in the peculiar
circumstances of the Hawaiian situation
there should be anxiety among the Ameri-
cans ana the members of the provisional
government as to what might grow out of
this agitation about japanese suffrage and
certain Japanese ambitions as to the future
control of the island.
1t was feared by the supporters of the
provisional government that the fallen
queen, the lottery ring and the palace gang
would not hesitate to promise TO grant TO
the Japanese the right of suffrage IN the
islands. provided they would aid in restor-
ing Llliuokalani to the throne.
The sudden appearance of the Japanese
lronclad In Honolulu harbOr could not fail
to create anxiety and misunderstanding. Ii
