MR.. THUEsToN MUST GO.
Secretary Gresham Demands That
he be Recalled.

iIou ton Post
Washington, March 19.-Secftta-
~ Gresham has demanded that the
Hawaiian government recall its min
lister, Mr.. Lorin Thurston.
The demand was sent to Minister
Willis at Honolulu by the steamer
sailing for that point on February
q. This demand is so positive and
Formal that it will necessarily be
complied with at once or the min
lister will be given his passports.
Mr.. Thurston has long been perr
soma non grata here and has ever
since be came been active in opposi
tion to the administration as we'll
as bold in his criticisms of its acts.
Ali through the several long Haw-
allan debates in the Fifty-third con-
gress he was present at the capitol
ana frequently in the house and
senate hobbies and openly gave mem
bers material for attacks upon the
administration. This was well
known at the state department and
Che White, House and no doubt did
much to bring about the i'll feeling
which eliminated in quarrel some
few days before the recall was
demanded.
1t ssems That positive evidence
came to the secretary that the min
lister had given TO the press here
information which should have gone
first 10 the department. Judge
Gresham sent for Mr. Thurston,
accused blm and asked for an apollo
gy. Tie minister admitted the
charge and apologized verbally, but
Secretary Gresham insisted that a
formal apology be made in writing.
This the minister refused in such
terms that a quarrel ensued. Then
the secretary sent to Honolulu this
demand for the recall of Thurston.
This is elimination whidh has
been long expected and its result
~ill be very pleasing to administers
tive circles here.

'It is not generally known" says the
Philadelphia Record, ''but it is a fact
Of history, nevertheless, that Bristol
township, lying on the east side of Ger
mantown, had a very narrow escape
from being selected as the site of the
capital of the United States. 1t was a
very small matter that turned the
choice toward Maryland and Virginia.
So positive were some members of con-
gress that the capital was to be located
neal Germantown that they purchased
real estate there, not, of course, as q
matter Of speculation, but simply to be
heal at hand when the removal from
Philadelphia to Bristol took place,
When the vote of the commissioners
was taken there was a tie, four being
for Bristol and four for the District O.
Columbia. Washington east the decid
ing vote, and Bristol township was lief
out in the cold"
