Rev. Mr.. Emerson Tells of the Situation in
Hawaii

Brockton. Mass, January 11.-Rev.
Oliver 2 Emerson of Honolulu, secretary
of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, de-
livered an address in the Union Congre-
gational church at East Bridgewater this
evening. Mr.. Emerson was born in Homo
lulu. and came to this country in 1865.
He returned there in 1858, and since that
has made it his residence. He was in
Honolulu when Minister Stevens landed
the marines. He is a staunch supporter
of the provisional government and paid
high tribute to Minister Stevens. He
saide: "We all believessin and love him.
He was in sympathy with the provisional
government. He would not have been a
decent man if he had not been, but he
was neutral in this matter. He did right
in landing the marines when he did. Ii
he had not done SO, he would have left
the people in that city defenseless that
night. l have yet to learn that in sdoing
this he inundated the officers Of the
dominant or royalist party in the least
The United States may restore the Queen
to the throne but so long as we have a
sharpshooter in Honolulu, we will not
have royalist government
Mr.. Emerson stated that he voted for
Cleveland when residing here in 1884. be-
cause he believed him perfectly honest,
but that he had been mistaken.

UNION MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
PORTLAND, MAINE.

AT this festive season of the wear a
season at which each man yies with
his neighbor in the making of some Gift
to the members of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, that
the UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur-
ance should be kept in view. The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL,
and 1t is therefore worthy of note by
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
heneficence and solidity Life Policy
which will in the event of the death of
the bread-winner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. 1t dose
not require any very vivid fight of
imagination to comprehend the possibili-
ties of fifty-fold return consea uent nm
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life
Insurance; whereas, a similar outlay m
onisemething more pleasing to the eve
and possibly of a perishabie or breakable
nature could not afford the solid and
lasting benefit to be obtained by and
through policy in the Union Mutual.

BLoUNT ON THE STAND.
Asked to Explain That Peculiar Report
His Secret Instructions.

Washington, January lit was few
when Mr.. Blount, who was to be the
witness for today's session of the Senate
committee investigating Hawaiian af-
fairs, appeared at the door of the COM
mittee room and was ushered in. All of
the Democratic members of the sub
committee were present. There were
two Republican Senators present, how
ever, for, in addition to Mr.. Frye, there
was Mr.. Dolph, who is not member of
the subcommittee.
Why he came was subsequently ap-
parent, for few minutes after II o'clock
Mr. Frye left the committee room and
went to the rooms of the committee on
commerce, which was in session, and be-
fore which Mr.. Frye has a number of
important bills pending, leaving Mr..
Dolph to represent him.
During the morning Mr. Blount was
simply subjected to such questions as
Mr.. Dolph saw fit to ask, and in general,
it may be said, occupied the time in the
reiteration and elaboration of the state
ments made in his report, which he stood
by from first to last. There were several
things, however, the Republican men,
bers of the committee, and Senator Nor
gan also endeavored to bring out by Mr..
Blount, and among them was the matter
referred to by Prof Alexander in his evil
dence last week, when he said to the
committee that Mr., Blount appeared to
be afraid to meet friends of the Provis-
ional Government, held all his inter
course with the Royalists and refused to
consult with those who represent the
Provisional Government and were friend.
ly to it. Mr.. Blount, before he left the
stand, was also asked to explain how it
happened. ii the statements heretofore
made are true. that he declined to incor-
porate in his report statements con-
corning affairs at the island which he
asked to be compiled by friends of the
Provisional Government.
1t was the things that did not appear
in his report upon which the cop,mittee
cross examined Mr.. Blunt most closely.
AS one member expressed it, the COM
mittee was anxious to know in view of
what has been told them since the in
vestigation began, what Mr. Blount
knows that he did not tell the State De-
partment, and if he did know them
at the time he made his report why he
did not make use of them. 1t is also
very probable that an effort will be made
by at least one member of the committee
to examine Mr.. Blount as to certain con-
ferences he is said to have had with the
President and Secretary Gresham, both
before his visit to Hawaii and after his
return. In other words the committee
wants to know if the was any instruction
given him other than appear as matters
OF record, and, if so, what they were.
