No intimation has ever been made to the Pro-

ing the latter part Of 1892, as was shown by her
perverse appointments of Cabinets In opposition
to the will Of the Legislature. The occurrences

asked to report such terms. Damon made those
terms on his own responsibility. Never before
or since the revolution did the members Of the
Committee OF Safety confer with Stevens about
the overthrow Of the Queens Government.
