G Commissioners. There is some talk
about the three Senators aud three
Representatives named by Congress
as Commissioners going to the con-
ference, it one is held, in spite Of
President Cleveland. Congress ap.
propriated 100000 to pay their
expenses and they could, of course,
60 if they desired, but there is no
probability that they would be rec
ognized as delegates to the confer
ence, unless they carried commits
sions signed BY the President of the
United States.
Secretary Gresham is not the first
man to discover that fool friends
are, much worse than enemies.
While his enemies have been openly
criticizing him for allowing his per-
sonal dislike Of Minister Thurston
to cause him to demand that be be
recalled by the. government of Ha-
wall, his fooi-friends have been do.
ing him much moro harm by circu-
lating a story to the effect that If
Mr.. Thurston should attempt to re-
main in Washington after his sue
cessor shall have been appointed
Secretary Gresham would deport
him by force, just as Chinese labor
ers who come into the United
States illegally are deported, as an
Objectionable character. And the
reason given by these fool-friends
of Secretary Gresham is worse than
silly. They say that Mr.. Thurston
by reason of his extensive acquain-
lance and influence with Congress
men might be able to get Hawaiian
legislation through Congress which
might be Objectionable to the ad-
ministration. Just think Of that !!
One citizen of insignificant Hawaii
more powerful with Congress-in
the eyes of friends Of the admins
tration-than the administration.
Certainly the fool killer must be
taking rest. Meanwhile Minister
Thurston has started for home
without waiting for his recall.
The application of Eugene Debs
and his associates to the U. s. Su-
preme Court for a writ Of habeas
corpus, on the ground that they are
unconstitutionally imprisoned, was
argued this week, Attorney General
Olney speaking against the motion
and Mr.. G. S. barrow, of Chicago,
for it. It is expected that it will be
several weeks before . decision is
handed down in this case, which will
probably furnish q precedent for
some years after it 10 made, unless
the court shall be nearly evenly d.
vided upon It. ! Attorney General
Olney gave , dinner to the counsel
engaged in the caee. The gueste
were Ex- Senator Lyman Trumbull,
C. s. barrow and s. s. Gregory, of
Debs' council; Edwin H. Walker
and Assistant Attorney General
Whitney, .of government counsel.

Secretary Lamont-and wife.
The atmosphere AROUND the De-
partment OF State Is decidedly less
iingoiytic than It has been. None
Of the diplomatic tangles havs been
Strengthened ont, but they all prob
ably will b 10 time without calling
for volunteers to 60 to war. Spain
has been heard from, in An explain
atory, If not an apologetio, tone.
The most troublesome questions
nov are the real intentions Of Eng
land towards Nicaragua and Vsne-
zhela. II threats which have been
made we're carried out the Monroe
doctrine would be violated and the
United States would have to take .
hand. But tho belief is general
that England is merely making =
bluff 90 a. 70 frighten those two
little countries into complying with
= part if not all Of her demands.
