THE HAWAIIAN REVOLUTION.
The Movement On Foot Months Before
Last January.


A member. of Congress- who has taken Q
lively personal interest in Hawaiian mat
tiers. both before and since the revolution.
is authority for the statement that a move
ment was on foot two months before the
revolution OF last January. and that Il was
well known In Washington and among
many Congressman.
, when the last session OF the Fffty-sec.
ond Congress assembled in December, 1892"
he said to a Star reporter. "some men ar
rived in Washington who came for the pur.
pose of inviting fifty or more members Of
Congress. who were reelected TO the next
Congress, to visit the Hawaiian Islands In
May, 1893.
ITO a few persons Il was known that Q
revolution was contemplated TO take place
on the 18th Of May. 1898.
THE revolution was to occur, Of course,
while the visiting Congressman were I'm Ha-
wall The effect Of such a coincidence 10
apparent. The Congressman would be ON
the spot and would be In a position TO bear
testimony OF the worthiness OF the people
and their cause who attempted to bring
about the change Of government. and would
sity OF an American solution OF the Ha.
waiian problem to quote Blaine's worda
The men who were promoting this UNDER
taking were democrats.
THE plan was frustrated. however, by the
revolution coming on before schedule time,
owing to the stand taken by the queen and
her determination to overthrow the consti-
tuition. The revolution was accomplished
and the rest is history"
