Tho Ex-speciai Envoy Explains His seiec-
tion and Course st Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Contrary to
previous announcement, ex-Special
Commissioners Blount was this morning
before the senate committee which is
investigating the relations OF this
country with Hawaii under the resolu'
ton of Senator Morgan.
Mr.. Blount told bri ely OF his ap-
pointment March 10. 1903, by the Presi-
dent, as special commissioner to inves-
tigate the condition of affairs on the
Hawaiian islands, which had been de-
veloped by the revolution of last JAM
uary. The part the American troops
had taken in the revolution. the fact
that the American minister had
established an American protectorate
over the islands. and that n provis
ional government had been formed and
was seeking to have the islands an
nexed to the United States caused the
president to desire to have the whole
matter investigated by some one who
had no connection with the islands.
and he had been selected for this mis-
sion. He considered the appointment
as within the bounds Of propriety and
precedent.
The decision to have the American
ensign taken down and the American
soldiers returned to the man-of-war
was next revived. Mr.. Blount said
that he found the islands and the gov
eminent entirely under the control or
protection of the United States troops
The American flag foated over the
government building in which the
officers of the provisional government
conducted their business. Everywhere
was noticed the influence of this
country upon the people Of the islands
II was evident that it would be diff
cult to secure an impartial account or
opinion uninfuenced by the surround.
ings as long as this state Of affairs con-
tinued. Consequently he decided March
81. two days after his arrival. that
In accordance with the spirit of his
Instructions in the interest OF
fair play. the flag should be taken
down and the American troops re-
moved. OF this decision he informed
President Dole and on the following
day ended the temporary protectorate
and he had the flag lowered. This pro-
ceeding he defended as within the
scope OF his mission and as an entirely
proper proceeding under the circum-
stances The subsequent events, he
said, proved that the presence of the
American troops was not necessary to
preserve order or protect he life and
property of either Americans or ma
tives.

alarm when the robber espied them
through window and, st II keeping
the other men covered, backed slowly
out of the door and ordered Harris and
Vincent into the depot, saying he would
kill them if they refused They obeyed.
The masked man then stood the six
citizens up along the wall, covering
them with one revolver, and went
through their pockets. He secured a

The Care of Books.

From Harper's Bazaar.
That any one who loves to read can be
careless In the use of books which furnish
that pleasure seems almost incredible Yet
there are many persons who will turn down
a leaf without thought of the injury in
flicted thereby, or who violently open a
new book, regardless of the disloca ton
which follows. or who lay an open volume
face downward where harm must inevitably
come to IT. If to find the place without a
guide of some sort be troublesome or i'm
possible there are little conveniences OF sill
yer or ivory to supplement a treacherous
memory.or daintily embroidered silken book
marks which, slipped over the corner of a
leaf, obviate the necessity of dog-ears: and
lacking these. scrap Of newspaper mar
gin can be made to do service. The wise
and provident owner of many handsome
volumes, who was most generous in lend
irg them, kept in a drawer of her library
table bits of bright ribbon, one of which
she would present with d charming smile
TO the friend who borrowed a book So
gracious was her tact the borrower took the
hint as smilingly il was given and for
bore to mar the fair pages in any way.
1t is as unwise to take one of a precious
set OF books for railway companion as
to attire ones self appropriately for the
journey, the fine cinders having a perva-
sive clinging quality which will soil the
edges of the leaves even IL the binding is
ptoteCteu ny d uuSt Cloak OF tnlck brown
paper. So much of the very best of litera-
ture appears now in paper editions that
the traveller who desires serious reading
can rely upon getting excellent intellectual
nourishment in this form.
To mark a book not ones very own is an
objectionable impertinence, unless in the
few cases where the lender specially Graves
and asks for the penciled comments of a
friend whose critical judgment inspires
respect. Among the subscribers to circulat-
ing libraries the transgressors of this social
law are numerous even the most valuable
books exhibiting marks OF their readers
likes or dislikes, while foreign ones are
copiously adorned with marginal transla-
tons Of words and phrases.

Mr.. ARRIS' STATEMENT
Many Concessions Will Be Made to Pass
the Tariff Bill
Sugar Men VIII PrObnbl Get All
They Wapt-Mr. Sherman states
the Republican Position.

Mr.. Harris made full exposition in the
Senate this morning of the attitude Of the
managers of the tariff bill. Being prodded
to II by pointed questions by Mr.. Hale, Mr..
Harris announced that If it were necessary
in order to pass the tariff bill, and thus to
secure a measure of relief from the evils OF
the Mckinley law. an amendment drawn in
the interest Of the sugar trust. and even
other amendments Objectionable to him had
10 be adopted, he would accept the situation
and take the amendments.
This sets forth the position in which the
advocates of tariff reform find themselves
at present. They must accept certain
amendments in order TO pass the bill They
are for the most part amendments which all
true tariff reformers object to, but il is too
evident that much must be yielded in order
to get little, and the spirit of accepting
the inevitable with temporary resignation
has become almost universal on the demo-
cratic side In both houses of Congress.
Difficulty With the Sugar Question.
1t is believed that the sugar question has
all along been the barrier in the way OF the
passage of the bill. and that when those op-
posed to the high trust duties have yielded
that point very few other concessions will
have to be made In this situation the su-
gar refneries will probably get anything.
most, that they want There will undoubt-
edly, be other concessions made, but Il is
believed that many that are demanded are
not essential TO an agreement, and that
there will in the end be but few really
radical changes in the bill
The situation being now fully recognized
ard acknowledged, the democrats will go
more directly at this work. and be more
open in their propositions for compromise.
The Republican Position.
Mr.. Sherman in his speech this morning
foreshadowed the purpose OF a part of the
republicans to delay action on the bill as
long as possible. He said that the republi-
cans would not permit the bill to be voted
on until every paragraph and every line
had been read in the Senate and subjected
to the most careful scrutiny
This sentiment is capable of different
Interpretation, and there is no doubt Of the
fact that a considerable number of the
republicans regard long delay as not in
any way essential TO a careful scrutiny of
the measure. 1t is said that a very con-
siderable number of the republicans de-
sire as speedy action on the bill as is con-
sistent with an Intelligent discussion of
Its provisions.
