the public the substance of which is as
follows:
To the American Public:
HEADQUARTERS AMERICAN RAILWAY UNION,
COOK COUNTY JAIL, CHICAGO, July SS--It is
almost universally conceded that the Pullman
Co, through the oft repeated reduction Of
wages, excessive rents and other causes, has
grieTously wronged its employees, and whatever
may be said about the great strike which has
resulted in consequence of such grievance, the
arbitrary refusal Of said Pullman company TO
submit to arbitration in any form (even TO de-
eide the question If there was anything TO
arbitrate) is proof that said company had no
faith in the Justice of its cause and fears the
disclosures that are certain to result from an
honest investigation, and in view OF the heavy
losses entailed upon the country, such obstin-
acy on the part of the Pullman company Is de-
serving of the SeVereSe condemnation
We propose that the Pullman company shall
be brought to Justice and in way that shall
not necessitate a strike with its attendant ills
We have faith in the American people; they
uphold justice; they love fair play. And now
in the name of justice and fair play, We appeal
to the great American public, to every good
man and every good woman. not to ride in 8
Pullman until the Pullman company does
justice to its employees Let the cars run alb
Solutely empty. No friend of labor. friend
OF humanity will occupy seat or a berth in a
Pullman car Let this policy be inaugurated
and we will then see how long the railway
companies will be bound by their contracts. rs
they have induced the public to believe, to haul
Pullman cars.
We propose to continue this fight against the
Pullman company through good and evil report
and without regard to consequences until JUS
tice shall be done There will be surrender
We will use every available and lawful means
to press the contest 1t is requested that al
papers throughout the land favorable to labor
tojustice to humanity, copy this statement il
full and keep it standing as long possible.
Earnestly appealing to the great public Il
aid Us in this unequal contest, and relying
with implicit faith upon the final and power
full triumph of the right, we subscribe our
selves, very respectfully yours,

MIR. Parker Denies Report Concern
ing the DepOsed Queen.

SAN FRANCISCO, JAM 16-In the CORE
spondence from Hawaii received by the
steamer Australia there was an assertion
that the deposed Queen has given up the
contest, and will sue the United States for
damages for the part taken by the former
representatives of this country at the time
the provisional government was substituted
for the monarchy. Samuel Parker, Prime
Minister of the ex-Queen and Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and A. p. Peterson, At
torney-general two members of the Cab
met at the time of the change in govern
ment, came by the same steamer They
briefly denied the statement, deeming that
ii was unimportant. Last night they no.
ticed in the telegraphic dispatches from
Washington that considerable weight is
given at the capital to this report In con-
sequence Mr.. Parker last evening sent a
telegram to Secretary of State Gresham
signed as Prime Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs, positively denying these assertions,
and declaring that the Queen has sub
mitted her case TO the arbitration of the
United States, and will patiently await
that verdict. Mr.. Parker and Mr.. Peter
son said last evening that they saw the
Queen half an hour before they left on the
steamer Australia. and she was firm in
her determination to maintain her claim

ANOTHER SPEEDY CRUISER.
The Montgomery Takes a Preliminary
Spin Over Her Trial Course.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Jan. f6.-The new
cruiser Montgomery had a preliminary trial
trip to-day over the official course. The re-
suit justified all the enthusiastic predictions
which have been made concerning her. The
run was from off Bartlett's reef New

lance of 2152 knots. or nearly
twenty-five miles The time occu-
pied was sixty-eight minutes, an
average of 1899 knots per hour but for
several minutes the ship attained an aver

sure was we'll maintained throughout, but
no accurate data was kept. Compared with
the pitch and slip of the Detroit, the sister
snip OF the Montgomery, the latter will
exceed nineteen knots on her official trip,
which will earn for her builders $4,000 more
than the Detroit. The Montgomery moved
through the water with the greatest ease
and steadiness, and although q good breeze
prevailed, produced no waves.

The London Times Discusses Latest
Phases Of the Hnwaiinn Episode.

Phases of the Hawaiian Episode.
LONDON, Jan. 16.-The Times in a lead
ing article says: 1T is prudent to accept all
unofficial rumors from Hawaii with reserve
1t is possible that the report that the ex-
Queen is in danger of death is we'll found
ed and it is easy to believe that any con-
stitutional weakness of her heart must
have been severely aggravated by the in
tense and prolonged anxiety of her pres
ent position. On the other hand, it is con-
ceivable that some persons concerned in
the intrigue of her downfall may be inter-
ested in spreading false reports in regard
TO her health 1t is amusing and instruct
i've to observe that, although the whole
conspiracy which Mr. Thurston concocted
and executed by the aid of the American
minister was simply a plot to annex the
islands to the United States against the
will of the Hawaiians. he initiates Presi-
dent Doleis example and swaggers about

The article proceeds TO praise Mr.. Cleve-
land for his firm attitude in the Hawaiian
matter and continues: What the ulti-
mate issue will be ii is not easy to say
but, in the face of Mr.. Willis's dispatch
1t is satisfactory TO know that there is

vens on Hawaii.
SPRINGFIELD Mass Jan. 16.-Hon.
John L. Stevens, ex-minister to Hawaii
spoke here tonight before a notable audi
ence He said in part:
THE stirring events in history which
have taken place in the Mediterranean and
on its borders are doubtless familiar to you
all. The PhOenicianS, CarthagenianS,
Greeks and Romans in turn struggled for
their supremacy, and you know with what
jealousy our nations of modern Europe
stand guard over the Mediterranean inter
Cyprus? What these places and strong
holds are to England, so will Hawaii be to
the United States. For more than sixty
years all our great statesmen have seen the
value of the Hawaiian Islands to this coun-
try. Only statesmen of the second or third
ACQUISITION of California the possibilities Of
the adjacent States have been thoroughly
recognized by American statesmen, and the
necessity of American dominance in the Pa
cific ocean has become evident. The Ha-
watian Islands stand at the Pacific cross
roads, and are Indispensable to the United
States. We must have a coaling station in
an island key in the hands of whatever
nation has courage and strength to hold
ii in an iron grip. 1t can be made impreg-
nable at only a medium expense. There is
no other harbor like il in the north Pa
cific. For good reasons naval and CONNER
cial experts regard Hawaii as the key to
the north Pacific.
II am only plain citizen, yet / believe
that the opinions of those experts should
have more weight than those of men who

britain Could Not Defend Canada.

LONDON, Jan. 16-The Times says:
Gen. Sir George Chesney, speaking in Lon
don on the defense of the empire, said he
thought that none of the colonists were
in danger of attack except Canada, where
the serious question must be considered of
how a defense could. be maintained along
the great line of the American frontier.
"God forbid" he said, that we should ever
quarrel with the United States. but IL is
impossible to doubt that If such a quarrel
should happen and the United States be-
come so reused as to carry the quarrel TO
the bitter end the position would be ex-
tremely serious. The Americans, in times
of emergencies are capable of great things
and in such a case | believe it would be
quite impossible for us to give to Canada
such effective aid as would prevent the
United States from occupying Canada
Happily the attitude of Americans is es-
sentially peaceful, and unless we were at
war with the United States, Canada is alb
solutely impregnable."
