THE PRESIDENT "MTCH ANNOYED"

II is reported from Washington that the Pres
ident is much annoyed by the most eX-
traordinary letter of President Dole To Min
lister Willis and incidentally by the Minis
tcr's course in allowing il 10 pass unrcbukcd.
Another cause for i'll feeling on the Presidents
part Is that Minister Thurston has been in
dulging in interviews in free and easy m
diplomatic way" In consequence Of this per-
turl,ed mental state of Mr.. Cleveland II is said
that we may expect ut any moment a severance
Of diplomatic relations between the Provisional
Government of Hawaii and our own 10y MI
WiIlis's demanding his passports on the one
hand and Mr. Thurstons being returned 10
him on the other 1t is reported. indeed, that
the latest instructions to Mr.. Willis are to de-
mand OF President Dole the withdrawal of The
offensive letter. and il this be not complied
with to ask for his passports. Mr. Thurston 10
receive his simultaneously. This hardly seems
probable since no communication OF any such
instructions has been made 10 Congress. and
the President and Secretary OF State have
caused II TO he understood since the former
relinquishcd the whole affair to Congress that
that body should he Immediately Informed of
every step taken by the Administration, and
especially Of all instructions sent To our repre-
sentative mt Honolulu. II must he said. how
ever that with this Administration in this par
ticular matter all things are possible.
These statements cmanate from source sup
DOscd to be near enough to the Administration
to give them an air OF genuneness. if not Of
authority From the same source comes the re-
mort that Il Is thought in Administration circles
that when the Provisional Government finds
the islands cut off from their natural ally and
protector IL will come to the conclusion that Ii
has rather overdonc the insolcnt business" II
is a somewhat new and original view Of the
functions Of a foreign Minister that he is to
"rcbuke" the head of the Government to which
he is commissioned whenever he does not hap
pen to like the tone OF an official cOmmunica
ton, courtco,Isly expressed, making n most
natural and proper inquiry. But it Is quite in
keeping with the new and original theory upon
which this Administration Is conducted that
President Cleveland Is not only the absolute
ruler in his own dominions, but the divincy
chosen arbiter of the affairs Of all weaker Gov
ernments. 1t would have seemed little more
courageous and manly. perhaps to have initi-
ated the rebuking business with a stronger
Government but this being the first oppor
tunity that offered, II was perhaps deemed best
TO make q beginning here II 1t succeeds In this
instance. doubtless Mr.. Bayard ut London. Mr.
EustIs at Paris and our other representatives
ut foreign courts will receive Instructions to
"rebuke " the Governments to which they are
accredited whenever they receive official com
municatlons which are not In all respects agree
able to them.
We are not SO sure however, that the Ha-
waiian Government will feel so terribly "cut
up" at being deprived Of its :" natural ally and

TIE BRUTES OF THE PRIZE RING.


1t is evident that the prize ring is losing
ground rapidly. Not long ago 1t was easy for
pugists to find number Of States, in any one
of which they could carry on n contest without
fear Of obstruction or arrest. Only few
months have passed since the ruffianS OK the
Brooklyn and Gravescnd rings, the friends and
followers Of Boss Mclaughlin and Of Boss Nc
Kane, were giving prize fights before multi
tudes Of people at Coney Island. In recent
years several OF these disgraceful conflicts have
taken place in California In Louisiana, In the
Empire State and elsewhere in the country.
But the disgust and detestation with which
these revolving exhibitions are looked upon by
respectable people have spread more widely
and have become more intense within COM
parativcly short time. The efforts of the Gov
ernor Of Florida to stop the fight between Cor
bett and Mitchell were significant. SO were
the diligcnt preparations made by the Governor
Of Georgia to prevent meeting Of the two
scoundrels on the soil Of that State. 1t is prac-
tically certain that the Legislatures Of such
States as have not yet passed rigorous laws
against prize4i ghting will soon enact statutes
Of the strctest sort to suppress this kind Of
b1,tality. The fight between Corbett and
Mitchell which was decided yesterday, is not
likely to be followed by any similar contest
where large amounts are at stake anywhere
in the United States.
Decent people can be congratulated upon the
positive gain which has been made in the dircc-
ton OF preventing prize fights Such offensive
and criminal contests ought not, Of course, to
be permitted in any part OF the country In any
circumstances. 1t would be well II the Legis-
lature of this State and the legislative bodies
Of other States would make the statutes In re-
gard to prize-fghting even more rigorous and
severe than they are at present. Heavier Den.
