Very truly yours,


1t seems highly important now to know
whether or not the embalming fluid used by
the undertaken contained arsenic, which
is said to be an ingredient of nearly all
such fluids. As no marks or punctures were
found upon the body by the physicians who
made the autopsy the inference is that the
embalming fluid was passed into the stomach
through the mouth. The undertaken at
Winthrop admits that he partially embalmed
the body. He does not know whether the
fluid he used contained arsenic or not as
it was stock mixture which he purchased
of firm in Bangor. About all that re-
mains to be done now is to ascertain whether
or not arsenic formed part of the prepara-
ton. II such is the case, the findings of
Prof. Robinson will be fully explained, and
the wi hole mstter will drop.

THE HAWAIIAN IMBRoGIro

On December 19, Minister Willis
appeared before the Provisional Govern
ment, and after delivering himself of
panegyric on the goodness and great
ness of Grover Cleveland, and informing
the Hawaiian ministers that the Queen
had agreed not to cut their heads off
wound up with this piece of imperti-
hence:
Lit becomes my further duty to advise
you that you are expected to promptly
relinquish to the queen her constitution
al authority, and | submit to you the
question: Are you willing to abide by
the decision of the President?
While this performance was going on in
Honolulu the American public was
reading in the morning papers of the
United States the Presidents special
message to Congress in which he said:
Though [ am not able now to report
definite change in the actual situation,
l am convinced that the difficulties lately
created, both here and in Hawaii, now
standing in the way of a solution through
executive acJlon of the problem present.
ed, render it proper and expedienU that
the matter should be referred to the
broader authority and discretion of Con
gress With full explanation of the en-
deavor thus far made to deal with the
emergency and statement of the con-
siderations which. have governed my ac-
tion.
1t has been reported recently that Sec
rotary Gresham and the President were
much annoyed by the report by way of
Auckland which is now confirmed by
the steamer which has arrived at Victo-
ira, of Mr.. Willis's demand upon the
Provisional government, and were in
clined to criticise Willis. But why
should they be? The dispatches sent
out by The cutter Corwin and dated the
third day of December virtually instruct
ed him to SO what he has done. If the
Que en- assented to the conditions Willis
was to go ahead and demand that the
Provisional government resign. The
Queen did assent. Willis did as direct
ed. Willis could not have known that
on the day before he made his formal de-
mand the President was going to turn
the whole matter over to Congress to
deal with as it saw fit, and so he could
not know that he was putting the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of State in the de-
plorable plight of intriguing for the res
toration of the Queen after they had told
Congress that they were done with the
matter. Willis simply did as he was in
structed. and he is not to blame for the
humiliating position in which our gov
eminent has been placed by his action.
Cleveland and Gresham are solely re-
sponsible. 1t will not do to undertake
to make Willis. the scapegoat. They, not
Willis, cheated Congress and the people.

How long is American influence in
Hawaii likely to remain in sympathy
with the United States if Willis is to be
allowed to remain at Honolulu plotting
for the restoration of the Queen and
making himself and the country which
he misrepresents obnoxious to every
American on the island? How long are
we likely to enjoy paramount influence in
the island with the French and English
and Germans intriguing against US and
our own minister Indirectly aiding them
by espousing the cause of the deposed
Kanaka Queen and threatening the use
of force to reinstate her? Some fine morn
ing, if Congress does not give the pro-
visional government to understand that
the Vaccinations of Cleveland and
Gresham for it's overthrow are not APP
proved, this country will wake up and
find that our rivals in the island have
established a protectorate in which we
have no voice.
The Portland daily press., 1894-01-10

The Portland PRESS is correct. The
Democrats have no right in the world
to complain of the Repu blicans for not
aiding to make a quorum to bring about
early action on the tariff bill It was
the Democrats own duty to have been
on hand and have made quorum for
themselves, and they should have done
Sc. But when the Republicans in Con-
re profess, as they do, to believe that
the interest of the country requires the
early action on the tariff, the country
has cause to complain and to condemn
them if they wilfully stand in the way
OF such action. 1t has cause to condemn
the course of the recusant Democrats
aiso.-Boston Herald.
We believe the position of the Republi-
ans, correctly stated, is that the inter
ests of the country do not require any
action at all on the tariff, and, not, as
stated by the Herald, early action. That
being the case it was quite consistent in
them to seek to prevent action. Whether
sitting silent is legitimate way to do
this is a question that admits of differ
ence Of opinion. BY refusing to authorize
the Speaker to count a quorum the
Democratic majority conferred upon the
minority the power to defeat all attempts
the majority were absent to reduce the ma
jority below the quorum point. Having
deliberately conferred that power with
full knowledge of what it implied, they

IMPORTING REINDEER.
The Work Captain Hea1y has been Doing
for the Starving Natives of Alaska
Something About the Caribou of the
North.

The following in regard to the work
carried on in Alaska by Captain Healy,
brother of Bishop Healy, of this city, is
printed in the New York Sun:
For some years the Indians and Eskl-
mos in the northern half of this CONT.
nent have lived most precariously. Their
usual food resources have repeatedly
failed them. They have been reduced
to extreme restitution, and many have
persisted of starvation. One year or an
other famine has afflicted the entire in
habited region from Labrador to Alaska.
The Labrador fisheries are becoming a
more and more precarious means of liveli-
hood. Many Nova Scotia and Newfound-
land fishermen have abandoned Labra-

it is certain that thousands formerly
lived where hundreds are now found
Capt. French, an experienced pilot along
the Labrador coast, says there is now
only one Eskimo where twenty used to
live. Years ago the Indians killed many
of Them, and they have been gradually
diminishing ever since on account of
the growing scarcity of seal, fish, birds
and other game, and also because OF
their contact with civilization, their

tion and other diseases. We have already
heard that many Eskimos of northern
Labrador starved to death last winter

Right in the face of the news brought
by the Victoria steamer the administa-
ton was still maintaining an air of
mystery yesterday and Secretary Gresham
even went SO far as to make a pretence of
dlscrediting the Victoria dispatches.
What the motive of this concealment is
nobody seems to be able to guess. Per-
hays the true explanation is that the
administration is SO thoroughly ashamed
of the whole miserable business that it
doesn't want to talk about it.
