THE CABINET CONSIDERS,
Question of Whether Hawaii Will Be Rec
ognized at Once,

Washington, July 23.-The administra-
tion has three days in which to deter
mine whether to recognize the new
Hawaiian republic promptly or to with
hold it's formal recognition another fort
night. The question will probably come
before the Cabinet tomorrow, and if it
is decided then in the affirmative the
formal instructions to Minister Willis
may be telegraphed to San Francisco
Thursdays steamer. Otherwise they
will wait for the steamer of August sth.
There is an impression that formal rec
ogn1tiOn will not be made with undue
haste, on account of the administrations
contention that Americans were too act
i've in overturning the government, and
it would therefore be advisable to let
some more disinterested nation take the
initiative. Whatever the action of Min
lister Willis may have been giving tenta-
tive recognition to the republic on behalf
of the United States, according to the
State Department practice, he is DO wer-
less to bind this government without
first formally r. porting the establish
ment Of the republic and receiving spe-
chic instructions to recognize it. Ordi-
narily Minister Willis. .has been report
ing the condition of affairs in Hawaii
by mail, and if he had SO announced the
proclamation of the repu blics announce
ment it would not have reach ed Wash
ington before next Thursday, when it
would probably have been too late for
the State Department to send instruct
ions by the earliest steamer, but it is
learned that he made an excep tion in
the present instance and caused his
announcement to be telegraphed on
the arrival of the steamer at San Fran
cisco last Saturday. So the adminjstra-
ton has several days to consider the
action it must instruct him to take.
The decision of the administration to
have no American warship in the
Hawaiian waters for the next month or
SO appears to have been reached only in
the past few days, for it was not more
than week ago that the Charleston
was ordered to proceed to Honolulu as
soon as her repairs at San Francisco
could be completed. 1t is understood
these orders have been, or will be. re-
voked, and the Charleston may be sent
to relieve the Bennington at Salvador
where the Bennington has been acting as
an asylum for General Ezet.

THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET.

ldWs
THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET.
Senator German threw down the
gauntlet to President Cleveland, and
insinuated that the latter was seeking to
blacken the character OF senators. Men
in high places, said Mr.. German, had
sought to blacken the char acter of SEN
ators. These men were guilty of dishon-
OF.
The limit of endurance has been
reached" said he. "There is no power,
however great-the President with ali
his patronage--th that would keep me
silent longer. He hurled this at the
President, he said, and at those who
chirped as he talked; that their insinua-
tions were infamous 1t was destructive
to the country that men of high position
shouldNseek TO blacken those who bat
tied for their rights when towards in
high places dared not show their heads.
(Subdued applause). Mr.. German had
read (bys Mr.. CockrelD a statement of
Secretary Carlisle, furnished to the
United Press and published in the
Washington Post of April 30. favoring
the passage of compromise measure.
That interview or statement, Mr.. Cor
man said, had had wonderful effect.
1t had softened the hard places; and
when Democratic senators came to con-
fer, that compromise was accepted.
Mr.. German referred to the manner in
which Mr.. Hill had received the Presi-
dents letter, and said: What godsend
the letter has been to him: it is the only
comfort he has had out of the admins
tration." Great laughter.) Mr.. German
said that Mr.. Hill had been thoroughly
consistent -he had tried to beat the bill.
The conference committee, he said, should
be kept free from the influence of the
President, with his 100000 appointments.
1t was not his province to interfere with
the Senate, and he (Gorman) was there
to fight presidential usnrpation despite
a Thousand hirelngs who were writing
it down. He was opposed to the nomi
nation Of Mr.. Cleveland in 1899 as matter
of party policy, hut he adhered to him,
believing that. he had served his party
well. Mr.. Cleveland had agreed that
sugar was.a taxable article, and had so
Informed Senator Brice, Senator Smith
and himself-the three men who had
been accused of being owned by the Sug-
ar Trust, because they had tried to car
ry out the pledge of their candidate. Mr..
German said the law of legislation was
that where two houses disagreed, the
one making the most radical change
should make the concessions.
Mr.. German deprecated that policy
which would destroy industries, and
when the poor people were thrown out Of
work to keepsthem in order by soldiers
and deputies.
What is our duty?" asked Mr.. Cor
man, in conclusion, and he went on to
tell the Democrats that the confidence
they gave to their conferees must contin-
ue. Let the bill go back to conference
with the House," he said. "These thun-
der clouds will go by; these flashes OF
lightning, these disagreements will pass
away, and the result will give new life,
new hope to the A merican people"
Mr.. German sat down amid applause
and was followed by Senator White of
California.

PREPARING FOR WAR.
There is Every Indication That China and
Japan Will Fight.

Japan Will Fight.
Shanghai July 23.-China continues to
make preparations to assert her claimed
rights in Corea, and, judged from present
indications, war is inevitable unless Japan
recedes from the position she has hitherto
maintained.
A strong body of troops will shortly leave
for Chow and for the Loo Choo islands, It
is the governments intention to employ the
Nankin and Canton fleets in harrassing the
Japanese coast if actual hostilities begin.
Orders have been sent to every Chinese
province for troops.
Reports that China..has declared war upon
Japan are premature. War has not yet been
formally declared, put hostilities are immi-
nent. Twelve thousand troops left Taku
Friday with fleet of gun boats.
1t is supposed they were destined for
Seoul with orders to fight the Japanese if
the latter opposed China's occupation of
any point in Corea.
