Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
CHICAGO, aug. 27.-Lake Michigan has
been completely enveloped by thick
clouds of smoke, caused by forest fires in
Wisconsin and northern Michigan, for the
past three days, that have limited the
range of vision to quarter of q mile in
every direction. Through this the sun
shone like ball of fire and the footing of
the fog signals out on the water sounded
monotonously at short intervals. Nav
igation on the lake was attended with
dangers, as Captains of steamers could
not see other boats half dozen lengths
ahead and had to run slow and sound the
fog signal constantly.
All boats arriving were several hours
late, and there were many inquiries for
steamers which were due, but which were
still cropping around out on the lake.
Lake Captains, after comparing notes,
came to the conclusion that this was the
thickest smoke on this end Of the lake
from forest fires that they have known
for several years. The Captains of ar
irving steamers all had stories to tell of
the difficulties of navigation in the
smoke. For many days the smoke has
been very heavy over the lower end of the
laKe, Dut the prevailing SOutn W!noS kepC
it away from this part Of the lake.
FEELING THEIR WAY.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 27.-The pail of
smoke which has enshrouded not only
the waters of Lake Michigan, but the en-
tire city. exceeded anything ever before
known. Fog could not have been much
denser and obscuring than the smoke
from the forest fires. Vessels are COM
PEELED to feel their way with the land.
The passenger steamers Virginia and Co
lumbus, with large excursion parties
from Chicago, were each one hour behind
the usual time on account of the smoke
conditions. No strandiDg have occurred
as far as known.

Thurston's Bad Break.

Tie conservative and forbear-
ing disposition of the admins
tration in dealing with the various
phases of the Hawaiian question
has added to the good effect upon
public opinion of the publication,
early last week, of Commits
sioner Blount's report, upon
which the policy of the admins
tration was largely based. 1t
has taken no notice of the very
unusual and injudicious action of
Mr.. Thurston, the minister here
of the Provisional Government of
Hawaii, in writing and giving to
the press an answer to Blount' 8
report, containing language that
would not have been tolerated
from a foreign minister by any
other government In the world.
Had the administration upon the
appearance in the newspapers of
Mr.. Thurstons defense sent that
gentleman his passports no one
would have had any right to com
plain; it would only have fol
lowed precedents set by every
civilized government in the
world, including our own. 1t is
not improbable that President
Cleveland in ignoring the bad
break of Mr.. Thurston was in-
huenced by the thought that the
Hawaiian minister was perhaps
only too anxious to pose as a
martyr. But whatever the OBJ
ject, on either side, the fact re-
mains that Mr.. Thurston was
guilty of IN act that would have
driven foreign minister from
any other country and that not
the slightest official notice was
taken of it by the administration,
and this forbearance is general
~ recognized as altogether ere
ditable to the administration

IN HARD LUCK.
Mr.. Walter G.. Smith still
out in the Cold.

At yesterdays meeting of the
councils. the Attorney General
read a communication in which
Mr.. I. Murray on behalf of the
Secret League ordered the
councils to fill an eventual
vacancy in their membership
with Mr.. w. G. Smith. As there
was no vacancy Mr. Murrays
order was pigeon holed. The
expected demand from the annex
alton club didn't materialize and
Mr.. Smiths organ last night
bewails that some one, very
bad man, had spirited it away.
1t had been hoped in
radical circles that Mr.. John
Ena would resign. but that
great councillor says that he
will stand and fall, presumably
to the last. with the government
and that he will be-say an
angel, before he resigns his seat
in favor of the Star man. The
next hoped-for vacancy should
occur, according to Star calcula-
tions, when Mr.. Hatch was made
Minister of Foreign Affairs.

fend some Chinaman who had
violated the laws OF the govern
ment which his defending attor-

amusing point in the business
and that is the seriousness with
which the annexation club pre-
sents one resolution-when it
can be found and the Secret
League another as if they were
two separate bodies while the
fact is that all the members of
the League are members of the
club, and therefore. virtually
"resolute" themselves twice.
The effect will be small though.
Mr.. Smith will have to be salts
fed by going to the council as a
reporter-and also by being a
partner of the only Emmeluth.

The Hawaiian Problem.

Since the publication. some
days ago, of the letter of Special
Commissioners Blount. who went
to the Hawaiian Islands to
investigate the condition of
affairs there for the administra-
ton, there have appeared
several replies to Mr.. Blount's
statements from ex.Minister
Stevens, Mr. Thurston, Hawaiian
Minister to the United States
and others. These replies have
contained little else than angry
protestations and yelled threats
of future exposures, but they
have otherwise fallen flat as far
as throwing any additional light
on the Hawaiian problem is con-
eeIned.
The report of Mr.. Blount has
served to put the situation in
much clearer light. and the
criticism of the administratio n
course is now confined mainly to
the Republican press and
persons identified with the late
administration. These partisan
critics are now endeavoring to
goad the State Department into
making public the instructions
to United States Minister Willis,
now at Honolulu. 1t is under
stood that the Minister has been
instructed to reinstate the Queen.
but the delay in carrying out
these supposed instructions
creates the impression that the
duty allotted to the Minister has
been coupled with very liberal
share of discretionary power.
The restoration of the Queen
not having yet taken place as far
as known. there has arisen a
serious doubt in the minds of the
Republican critics of the adj

course mapped out by the adj

alton for fear that subsequent

LAWYERS, as Emmeluth, Carter,
Hartwell, Smith, Kinney, Thurs
ton, Hatch and the, political. chief

combined efforts amount to-
Nothing more than an ordinary

containing lawyers lies and mis-
statements for the benefit of his
client. 1t is called a diplomatic
document. Caesars ghost what
laugh President Cleveland and
his cabinet must have had over it
on the day when they read it.
Let us see what Dole says to
Minister Willis. Dole says in
substance, that he is d;sappoint-
ed to learn that the thievlng
scheme proposed to the United
States has been rejected but
nevertheless experiences sense
of relief now that he knows it,
although he has waited over nine
months for such relief.
The declination of President
Cleveland to further consider
that grand thieving scheme, has
received the acceptance of Mr..
Dole; but, at the same
time Mr.. Dole intends to
hold on until President
Cleveland successor is elect
ed, then bring his thieving
scheme up again.
Mr.. Dole goes on to say that
his answer to the question, "are
you willing to abide by the de
cision of the Presidents" might
be made in SINGLE word. Wonder
if that is not a missprint, because
Ego to the devil, is four words
