Profound sensation When Presented in
Congress

WASHINGTON. Jan. &c - President

support of the charge that the Amer
lean minister to Hawaii had conspired
to overthrow the provisional govern
ment by force and reinstate the ex-
queen, is in the hands Of Secretary
Gresham Ii arrived in the regular
mail Wednesday. and has been turned
over TO the president
President Dole's letter is said to be
exceedingly tart. containing the dates
upon which Minister Willis exerted
himself against the provisional govern
ment and the places where he operated.
The president Of Hawaii lays particu-
lar stress on Mr.. Willis suggestion that
the correspondence with reference TO
the charges against him Dc destroyed,
and attributes to the American minis
ter desire to escape from the conse-
quence of his action by misrepresenta-
ton. 1t is predicted that the letter
will create a profound sensation in con-
gress.

EMPEROR AND PRINCE.
The Coming Visit OF Prince bismarck to
Emperor william.

BERLIN, Jan. %. All the newspapers,
with the exception of the government
organs. discuss the rapprochement be-
tween Emperor William and Bismarck,
a evidenced by the fact that the prince
has informed the emperor that lie
will, as soon as his health permits
-probab bly, next week. visit his ma jos.
". There is now no doubt that
the long-tallSed-of and, in some
quarters. unexpected reconciliation
is an accomplished fact. and that be-
fore many days the face of the old ex.
chancellor will again be seen in Unten
den Linden. Emperor William has
given orders that rooms on the ground
floor Of the palace be prepared for the
princes occupancy.
The telegraph line between Berlin
in the transmission of dispatches ar.
ranging the time of the princes arrival
in Berlin.
The first autograph letter sent to the
prince by the hands OF Count Won
Moltke said that his majesty would
painfully miss. on the occasion of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his ente r..
ing the army, the presence of that
man who, under Emperor William L.,
primarily co-operated to sharpen the
sword OF Prussia.
The news that the prince is surely
coming to Berlin has caused great ex.
element among the residents of the
city. There is no doubt that he will
receive a wildly enthusiastic welcome.
