PRESIDENT INGALLs,s SPEECH.

President ingalls, is known to the people

ness sagacity. large experience and as wide
an acquaintance with the general industry
and business of the country through which
his lines pass as any man living within
the territory. Mr. ingalls,. moreover, is
known to be a Democrat of the positive
type and not one of those railroad man.

1t is because he is thoroughly convinced
that 1t is a measure which will involve the
country in disaster and the party to which,
during all ,'is life. he has borne most loyal

Columbus before the Jackson Club he dis
played unquestioned conviction and intense

coal mines.

utterance of one of the most sagacious
business men in the central West. speaking
first as business man, and, second as
Democrat who would save his party. In
this issue will be found few extracts
from the speech. which show it's earnest

reading for Republicans as we'll as Demo-

The latest news from Honolulu by way Of
Victoria, B. c., fully confirms a previous
report by way OF Auckland that the Queen
had accepted Mr. Cleveland's conditions of
restoration and that Minister Willis had
communicated this fact to the provisional
government and requested it TO abdicate.
The text of the minister's statement on the
occasion of his interview with President
Dole. as contained in the dispatch published
in the Journal yesterday, is undoubtedly
correct. The revenue cutter Corwin left
Honolulu Dec. "a. and reached San Fran
cisco Jan. 5. She undoubtedly brought full
dispatches from Minister Willis to the State
Department including the text of his state
ment TO and demand on the provisional gov
eminent. On the arrival of the cutter at
San Francisco the captain doubtless for
warded the dispatches by mail. and they
ought to reach the State Department to-day.
They will not contain the reply of the pro-
visional government to the minister's de-
mand. because that had not been sent when
the COrWln lett Honolulu, nor yet when the
War-imoos left there, seven days later
Evidently, the provisional government was
taking its time and preparing a long reply
The text of the reply may be brought by
the steamer which is due at San Francisco
to-day, but whether it be or not it's sub
stance can be easily forecast. 1t will deny
the right OF Mr.. Cleveland TO arbItrate Ha-
waiian affairs or to wipe the provisional
government out of existence. and will fatty
refuse to comply with the minister's demand
that it surrender authority to the late
Queen.
1t is quite possible that the minister's pub
lie declaration OF Mr.. Cleveland's decision
may have encouraged and excited the
royalists as TO have brought on an uprising
and collision between them and the forces
of the provisional government. In that
event it is possible that the minister may
have ordered United States troops ashore
under the pretext of preserving the peace,
and there may have been a general fight.
The administration will suppress the news
as long possible, but it must all come
out in a few days.

a Fiery holocaust could not have been

THE TRUE AMERICAN IDEA.

In 1914 Henry Clay appointed by
President Madison one of five commission
ers on the part of the United States TO
negotiate treaty of peace with Great
Britain. The commissioners of both coun-
tries met at Client, in the Netherlands,
where the negotiations continued for some
months. While they were in progress some
of the official dispatches to the State De-
partmsnt concerning them were published
in this country. Lord Gambler, one of the
British commissioners, took exception TO
this on the ground that it was not proper
pending the final disposition of the ques-
tiohs at issue Mr.. Clay replied as follows:

THE WORLDS FAIR FIRE.

The burning of worlds fair buildings
and foreign exhibits not yet removed is a
most regrettable event. The destruction of
the buildings themselves would be of COM
parativeIy little consequence. Their money
value is not very great, and the loss could
be easily borne. But there is reason to
fear that the destruction of the foreign ex-
hibits may result in national scandal.
especially as the delay in their removal
seems to have been due to the dilatorlness
OF United States custom house officials in
performing their duties. The case is ag-
gravated by the fact that all American
exhibits were lon~ since removed, leaving
foreign exhibits to stand the loss alone.
1t is further aggravated by the fact that
foreign exhibitors are already greatly dis
satisfied with some features in the manage

awards. which they claim was so badly
managed as to deprive the awards of any
commercial value In view of the crcum-
