The Protestant ministers Of Irelana
are almost to man opposed to Home
Rule for their native country. Out OF
700 Presbyterian preachers there are only
five in favor of it, while out OF 200 Wes-
leyan ministers only three are for par
lament in Dublin. Without asingle OK
ception all the Congregationalist, Bap-
fist, Unitarian and Quaker preachers are
opposed to Irish self-government. Thes
members of the various Protestant
churches are divided, some being heart
lily in favor of Home Rule, while others
are sternly opposed to it. Among tbs
Catholic clergy, there is not one to be
found who is opposed to Home Rule.
The only Catholics in the country WHO
have openly spoken against having an
Irish parliament are the Tory aristocrata.

Rev. o. p. Emerson, who testified at

dueed his testimony to writing. and after
being asked one or two unimportant ques-

L. Z. Jones of Boston, Il member of the
firm of Brewer s, Co.. which has large
branch house in Honolulu, and who was
minister of finance in the so-called Will
COX cabinet, was next called before the
committee.
Mr.. Jones was before the committee for
about two hours, and when he emerged
from the committee went direct to train
for San Francisco en- route to Hawaii. He
had been sworn to secrecy by the COM
mittee.
Revolution Was Legitimate.
Mr.. Jones. however, talked very freely
concerning recent occurrences IN the
Islands, of which he has been resident
for the past 36 years, 90 years of which he
was manager of the largest mercantile
house in Honolulu and was member of
the executive council for four years dur
ing the revolution and for two months
afterwards.
The revolution" said Mr.. Jones, Twas
simply a necessity of the situation. The
queens effort to abrogate the constitution
was the illumination of 20 years of mis-
rule, and the people would not have been
true to themselves and to their mother

States, had they not resented to the

crisis by encouraging the men TO action.
Naturally they resent sovereign of the
character of the late queen.'
Mr.. Jones thinks it probable that the
organization of the proposed new govern
ment will be postponed until after the ac-
ton of congress is announced, but says
that when ultimately this change is eff
fected, the islands will have democratic
