Dole's Reply to Minister Willis.

|
Among papers laid before congress by the
president is President Dole's reply to the
United States minister's demand, which, in
substance, is as follows:
while it is with deep disappointment We
learn that the important proposition which
we have submitted to the government of the
United States, and which was at first favora-
bly, considered by it, has at length been re-
Jected, We have experienced sense of relief
that We are now favored with the first official
information upon the subject that has been
received through period of over nine
months.
"We shall continue the project Of political
union with the United States, as a conspicu-
Gus feature of our foreign policy, confidently
hoping that sooner or later it will be crowned
with success, to the lasting benefit of both
countries.
''The additional portion of your commune
cation referring to our domestic affairs, with
view to interfering therein, is a new de-
parture in the relations of the two govern
ments. Your information that the presi-
dent of the United States expects this gov
eminent to promptly relinqush authority,
with the question, ARE you willing to abide
by the decision of the PRESIDENT might we'll
be dismissed in a single word, but for the
circumstances that your communication
contain, as it appears to me, nisstatements
aud erroneous conclusions based thereon
that are SO prejudicial to this government
that | cannot permit them to pass unchal-
lenged; moreover, the importance and men,
acing character of this proposition make it
appropriate for me to discuss somewhat
fully the questions raised by it.
"We do not recognize the right of the pres
ident of the United States to interfere in our
domestic affairs. Such right could be con-
ferred upon him by the act of this govern
ment, and by that alone, or it could be &C
quired by conquest. This / understand to
be the American doctrine, conspicuously an
nounced from time to time by the authori-
ties of your government.
81 am instructed to inform you, Mr.. Min
lister, that the provisional government of the
Hawaiian islands respectfully and unhesi-
tatingly declines to entertain the proposition
of the president of the United States, that 1t
should surrender its authority to the ex-
queen. This answer is made not only upon
the grounds hereinbefore set forth, but upon
our sense of duty and loyalty to the brave
men whose commissions we hold, who have
faithfully stood by us in the hour of trial
and whose will is the only earthly authority
we recognize. We cannot betray the sacred
trust they have placed in our hands, trust
which is the cause of Christian civilization
in the interests of the whole people of these
islands,"

Man

Man.
WAsHTsGToN, d. c., January 18.-Repre-
sentative Bryan. of Nebraska, was cheered
time and again while delivering his speech
on the tariff. His arguments were:
If the foreigner pays the tax the home
producer would get no benefit from the tar
i'll. That the protectionists expects the con-
sumner to pay it is evident from the fact that
compensating duties are always given the
manufacturer when his raw material is taxed,
and from the fact that rebates are allowed TO
manufacturers upon material exported.
1t was amusing to see the protectionist
contradict himself. He wants high tariff to
make high wages when he talks to the en-
ploye; he wants high tariff to make low
prices when he talks to the consumer; be
wants high tariff on wool to raise its price
and high tariff on WOODEN goods to lower
their price; he wants high tariff to raise the
price of wheat and lower the price of iron.
when MI Mckinley reported the Nc
klnley bill, he said in the report: 'We have
not believed that our people, already suffer-
ing from low prices, can or will be satisfied
with legislation that will result in low prices
1.-The Mckinley bill has reduced prices ard
the people are happy. The principle of pro-
lection cannot be defended. The govern
ment has no right either to take my money

I'VE are exporting cotton manufactures
to China, although our day wages are five to.
ten times higher. Our farmers pay for help
nearly eight times what 10 paid in India, and
and yet we meet India wheat in Liverpool,
but when you ask protectionist how England
with free trade pays better wages than any
European country with protection, he re-
plies: Who put down the rebellion, any
how
"We are confident that this bill will re-
move part of the load from the shoulders
of the people, extend our markets and justify
still further reduction in the near future
The bill has been denounced as favorable to
the south. Where we give free cotton ties
to the sonth, we give free binding Irvine to /.
the north. Where we give cotton bagging
to the south, we give free agricultural impIe-
ments to the north. Texas has more sheep
than any northern state and yet consents to
free wool for our manufacturers, while the
cotton growers of the south give free cotton
to the cotton manufacturers.
New England hepled to free the black
slaves, and tie south now rejoices that il
was done. 1t is fitting that the south should
help to strike down this system of white
slavery, by which one man is made to pay
tribute to another in the fullness of time
New England will rejoice in the result

IMPORTANT NEW WORKS.

Will Probably be Erected Either in
 New London or NorWich-A Sad
 LOAs to Bath, Me.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The statement of Treasurer Hyde of the Bath Iron Works, that the company will not rebuild at Bath, it is thought here probably means that the new works will be erected at New London, Conn. Naval officers who have besn as- sociated with the works through the con- struction of new ships, say that the com psny has been seriously considering the advisability of removing from its present location to place where water and trans- portstion facilities are better. Bath is ad- mirably situated for building wooden ships, but 1t is claimed that the steel ships re- quired for the new navy can be constructed more proftably nearer the business and commercial centers. Negotiations have been in proqress for some time between the Bath company and the New London board of trade, but they are now in statu quo, Naval officers predict that the fire in the Bath Iron Works will bring the negoti- stions to definite conclusion.
 BATH, Me-, Feb. 13.-Edward Hyde, who | is treasurer of the Bath Iron works, said | this morning: "You may state positively l that the plant will never be rebuilt here We shali probably either locate in Nor | wich or New London, Conn. We shall
 erect temporary buildings and complets

 shall shut down the plant entirely. Thii | will throw S25 mon out of work and stoI

NOT ONE OF PRosPRRITY.

Rx-President Harrison Speaks of the
 Condition of The eCountry-Duet to rhe
 Reversal or the ola Policy and the
 Institution Of . New one.
 IsDIAHAPoLIs, Feb. 13.-The Indiana Lssgra-at Republican clubs held Its annual session today. In the evening 6 msss meeting was held at which ex-President Harrison made c speech. He said:
 "Thers are some people who hold that an ex.president should be political deaf mute. do not accept that theory. A man who has been honorsd by his fel- low cltixsns with the highest civil place In the government ought not to have less interest in those thin gs that concern the prosperity of the people or the glory of the country than he had before he took the office. Unless he was an exceptionally dull man, he must in the contact with great men have acquired c knowledge of the principles that enter into government.
 "Ths present condition of the country is not one of prosperity. The recent pros- perity we enjoyed was not due to any man but to . great policy that had been long maintained. The present distress which VIC suffer is due, think, to the threat of . rsvsrsal of the old policy and the institu- ton of c new one.
 "The old doctrine was that the expenses of the government should be raised by customs duties imposed upon such articles and in such . way as to give incidental protection to the manufacturer and laborer. If the Wilson bill had been constructed on these lines 1t would not have been 60 hurtful. But . new creed has been adopted by the democratic party, and 1t seems 10 be the theory that all protection Is unconstitutional and that 1t is better to resort to extraordinary and even odious methods of direct internal tax than to de- rive the necessary revenues from impor- fatiopsD

AT LEAST TwENTY-FoUR HURT.

Excitement in Paris over the Bomb
 Explosion at the Hotel Terminus.
 PARIS, Feb. 13.-The excitement occa- sioned by the bomb explosion at the cafe of the Hotel Terminus at the St. Lszsre railway station last night has not absted, and the outrage is the subject of discus- sion in all the public places.
 It has been ascertsined definitely that ct least twsnty-four persons were hurt.
 The name of the bomb thrower is Leon Breton. The police believe that he is a member of an anarchist group who have their headquarters at Nsuilly Sur Seine.
 Breton was taken before Judge Meyer, an examining magistrate, today. He was piled with questions, to all or nearly all of which he refused to make any answer. It has been evident ever since his arrest that Breton does not intend to furnish the au- thorities any information, he having told then that 1t was their place to find ont themselves whatever they wanted to know about him.
 N. Girsrd, chief of tte municipal labor story, says that the bomb thrown by Bre- ton was made of 6 one pound meat tin. It contained, he declares, eight ounces of ehlorste of potash and picrfc acid. The green powder" that was used by Valiant in making the bomb that he thre~ in the chamber of deputies, was not ueed by Breton.
 Breton admitted to Judge Meyer this | evening that he had given a wrorR account | of himself. He gave a number of nsmes, | all of which are believed to be false.

 oned Men Leave Wives and Families
 They May Never be Found.
 W1LKEs1ARHR, Pa, Feb. 13.-An ex- tsnsivs csve-in occurred at the Gaylord mine of the Kingston Coal company, at Plymouth. this morning. A large number of miners and laborers were ct work under . section of the roof, which has for some time past been considered very weak. any warning whatever the roof, consisting of rock and coal, fell in with heavy crash.
 An army of rescuers are at work trying to reach the sntombed mon. There is great excitement at the mouth of the slope. The relatives of the men are gathered about the place and their lamentations are pitiful.
 The section of tho mine in which the men are imprisoned Is portion of the Bal timore vein, which at this point was very thick, and they were engaged in placing large timbers ss a support for the roof.
 A number of mine foremen and their as- sistants led by John B. Davis, supsrintend- ent of Gaylord Workings, who had been in the mine this afternoon, came out at 5 a'clock and reported all the outlets in tho mine are closed, also the rock tunnel. The cave was in the Avs-foot, seven foot and Bonnet veins. A few cracks can be seen on the surface. but this has not become ssri. ously affected as yet. The rescuing party was obliged to retreat on account of the further caving in of the mine. The they come down, the rolling and rush and roar of the wind by the concus- sion caused the men to retreat to the sur face. The mules were taken from the shaft this afternoon, as tho cave-in was extending close to the foot.
 Should the shaft bs closed at any time all hope of rescuing the men will have to be abandoned for an indefinite time. The timbsrmen now imprisoned in the mine were warned yesterday that there was danger ahead but they were of the opinion that the danger was not sufficient for them to stay ont. They said, however, to the hoisting engineer as they went down the pit that "should anything occur you will find us in the big branch in the Bennett vein."
 This, however, is closed. The scene about the mine late tonight is hesrtrend Ing. Eleven of the men have wives and children. The officials are hard at work to devise some plan or means of rescue, but in order to get ct the men they will have to penetrate through hundreds of feet of coal and rock. It Is thought by tee super and others that the men are on the big plane in the Bennett vein, which Is 700 feet from the foot of the shaft.
 The work of digging their way through tho coal from the foot of the shaft to reach the entombed men began this evening. It Is not known how long 1t will take, and 1t is possible that they will never be reached or found.
