The morning call., 1894-01-14
both instances these votes were unani-

In the Advisory Council, however. some
opposition was shown. Heretofore this
body has been self electing and self
perpetuatlng. and has quietly refused the
demands made by the radical element.
The radicals assert that the Council has
been conservative TO degree that endan-
gers the future OF popular government in
Hawaii, and expect their present move
ment TO be protest against the further
entertainments of corporations upon popu-
lar government here. The position taken
by the conservative element has served to.
arouse the radical party, and it is not IN
likely, unless the hackers of Mr. Smith
are placated, that serious political diff
ference will arise between the present
Government and the Americans, who are
the backbone and support of the present
movement for closer commercial relations
with the United States.
1t is believed that the present differences
may lead to new distribution OF the
places in the legislative branch OF the
Government at the hands of the men who
fought in the revolution and creaied the
present Government. The present differ
ences have taken the form of test OF
strength between the new political forces
which have arisen in Hawaii since the de-
mand by Minister Willis for the PrOvis-
iOnal Government to step Down and out.
AS put by the radicals, it seems to be
question whether the six corporations rep
resentng the sugar plantations shall rule
the country or whether the Government
shall be carried out by a majority OF the
loyal citizens of Hawaii.
No real crisis has as yet arisen and
Should such arise 1t will probably be
averted by vacancy being created in the
Council, which will be filled by popular
repTesen tatiye of the people. In an inter
view here with Minister Damon last night
it was unof6cially learned that the Gov
eminent admits the great necessity of
popular rule in Hawaii, and that every
effort will be made to give the people rep
resentation as rapidly as vacancies occur
in the Council.
In an interview held with Minister
Thurston yesterday he said: From many
persons directly interested Mr.. Blount
took the testimony of about sixty royalists
and only twenty supporters of the Proyis-
ional Government; one out of four men,
bers of the Executive Council. three out of
fourteen members of the Advisory COun-
Gil. two out OF ten members of the Com
speakers of the great mass-meeting, one
out of the twenty-three line and staff Off
GERS engaged in the revolution. and none Of
the Jones' Wilcox Cabinet. in office two
months preceding the downfall Of the
monarchy.
But" added Mr.. Thurston, in signif-
cant manner, che took all the testimony of
the members of the Colburn Cabinet at
DAYS"
1t is further learned from a prominent
r0yalist. who Is believed to be reliable, that
after United States Minister Willis had
maze his demand upon the Provisional
Government he heard that the ex-Queen
intended to except raliDdividuas from
her guarantee of amnesty.
1t is reported that. therefore, the Amer
lean Minister spent portion of the even
ing in question at Washington place. ar
guing with the ex-QueeD and urging her
to change her opinion. 1t is said that she
refused to do this and that she excepted
from amnesty President Dole, w. o.
Smith. Attorney General; Chief Justice
Judd and several others.
The Royalists are prominent at present
through the Patriotic League, which, it
will be remembered, was at first organized
TO oppose the American movement or an
nexatiOn. The Patriotic League has lately
held a meeting of their executive commit
tee at which long speeches were made and
it was determined that a memorial
should be sent 10 the President of the
United States representing the feeling and
attitude of the natives of Hawaii, as repre-
sented by their leaders, relating TO the
present stand taken by the royalsts of Ha-
wall. In brief, they claim that they have
been falsely represented through the Re-
publican administration at Washington,
and that awaiting the action of the Demo-
cratic administration. in whom they have
full confidence, they will stand upon their
case as presented to Cleveland.
They have determined to take no action
at present. although they claim that like
the Provisional Government they are pre-
pared to go into the fight on the moral
ground, if not with arms. which, they say,
have been wrested from them. At the
meeting lately held the Rovalsts deter
mined that the maiu grounds upon which
they stood were:
First-That the Provisional Government
acquired power not as revolutionists, but
at the diclation of Minister Stevens and
the United States forces.
Second-That in any event they consid-
cred the whole matter must be referred to
and settled at Washington.
Thrd-In case of such Discriminate
the new monarchy was to be protected bv
the United States and that Americans
were to be disarmed within six mouths by
the aid Of United States troops.
The public journalists have been making
ii hot for Minister Willis. George Man.
son of the Star has filed an affidavit in
which he virtually declares the United
States Minister to have falsifed an inter-
view.
DR.. Trousseau has also been called to
account for his statements in Bount's re-
port and has repeatedly apologized. His
latest apology was made to e. l.. Carter,
late Hawaiian commissioner tc Washing
ton. in which DR.. Trousseau said:
sly on must readily understand that
had no intention to offend you, and had
no Idea that you could be offended by such
tame and. | admit. very poor joke"
