Mr.. Boutell Introduces Resolution in the
House for His Recall

Mr.. Boutell Introduces a Resolution in the
House for His Recall.
= WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The reSolu-
tion introduced in the house by Mr..
Boutelle for the recall of Minister Will
lis from Hawaii recites the antipathy
that we have always expressed to the
interference of foreign minister in
our country's domestic affairs, and the
propriety of not enforcing upon weak
power what we object to from a
strong power. 1t cites the praise
worthy forbearance of the Ha-
waiian government toward Mr.. Willis
and the specialties of commerce and
kindred that bind the United States to
these islands, and concludes that it
shall be resolved that it is the sense
of this house that most sacred obliga-
tions of good faith, the highest mutual
interests of the United States and the
friendly government of Hawaii; the
plainest dictates OF internation-
al comfy and the impera-
tive duty of avoiding further
risk of completely in the incite-
ment of disorder and possible lSoodshed
in Hawaii require that the present
United States minister to the Hawaii
an government be Immediately re-
called and superseded by another min
ister who will not be hampered by the
lamentable incidents of the recent
asst, and who will be able and willing

TOPEKA. Kan, Feb. 21.-Gov. LEVEL
ling did not return from Wichita yes
ser'lay. and Adjt.-Gen. Artz's resigna-
lion has not, therefore, been accepted,
put the military career of the investi-
gated official will probably be over to-
day, as his excellency wires that he
will leave for Topeka on the first train.
Artz yesterday made an inventory
of the munitions of war in his de-
partment, and will submit report to
the treasurer. Artz stated to cor
respondent that he had accounted for
everything in the military store
houses, and was sure his reports would
be satisfactory to the treasurer. Artz
says he is anxious to get out of the Of
fee, and intimates that as soon as he
is free he will make it very warm for
someone. Asked what business he
would engage in. Artz said he would
probably open law Office in Topeka.
w. C. Baker, whose voucher was
tampered with by Artz, has not yet in
stituted criminal proceedings against
the adjutant-general, although ms
friends urge him to do so. Lawyers,
however, say it is doubtful that a
charge of forgery could be sustained
against Artz, especially if he could
establish his claim that the amount OF
the voucher, less the sum paid to Baker,
was expended for guarding the arsenal
Artz reiterated the statement made
Saturday that he has an amount
on deposit with the state treasurer
sufficient to cover the discrepancy found
by the experts, but the treasurer says
Artz has no money on deposit, unless
it is in the little box mentioned in these
| dispatches Saturday night Yesterday
afternoon, however, Artz went to the
state treasury and drew the box which
he deposited some time ago, opened it
in the presence of several persons and
took ont s40O i'm cash, which he handed
to Treasurer Biddle This sum will
more than cover the discrepancy found
by the experts who made the eXamina-
tion of Artz's accounts.
