Hawaiian Republic, seemed, however,
to have rendered Mr.. ThurstOn dis
tasteful to the Cleveland Administra-
ton, and especially to the Secretary
of State. Nothing that he did was
satisfactory, and he was snubbed and
ignored on all possible occasions.
This ill feeling was carried to the
extent of denying him certain social
courtesies due his position, but the
Minister never com planned, but found
comfort in the reflection that nine
tenths Of the American people were
friendly to him and his Government,
and bitterly opposed to and ashamed
of the perfiiiOus policy and actions of
the Secretary of State.
It is recalled now that Thurston has
not been at the Department in person
recently, although Mr.. Hsstings, his
secretary, has been freqdent visitor,
though on no diplomatic errands so
far a. can be ascertained.
One of the most notable cases of the

acted.

Correspondence Said to Have Been Sent
to President Dole Our Minister'S
Apology - Gresham Severely Cen
sured-Now On the Way Home.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Secretary
of State Gresham has requested Presi
dent Dole of Bawaii to recall Minister
Thurston on the ground that he has
become persona non grata. This re-
quest was forwarded to Honolulu about
ten days before the adjournment of
Congress. The grounds on which it
was based were that Thurston had
violated diplomatic etiquette by Civ
ing out news to certain newspapers
and the press associations calculated
to intensity and increase the feeling

CENsURE THE SECRETARY.

Secretary Gresham is being as
roupdiy censured here for his action
in Thurston's case as he was praised
for his recent vigorous dispatch to
Spain. Above all he is censured for
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-04-03

in this country favorable to the an
nexation Of the Hawaiian Islands, and
had, moreover, made a speech at
banquet of the Board of Trade last
winter in which he advocated annex
alton. These were, in the eyes of
Gresham and Cleveland, heinous of
fenses, and there is much agitation in
diplomatic and political circles.
Grave, diplomatic and acute politi-
clans are futtering about like doves
when the hawk is lowering over their
heads. 1t is recalled that Cleveland,
during his first administration, and
when he was a candidate for re-elec-
ton, requested the recall of Sackville
West, British minister, for writing a
letter to supposed naturaliZed Eng
lishman at Los Angeles advising him
to vote the Democratic ticket, of
which Cleveland was the head. In
Grants time Catacazky, Russian min
lister, was recalled by request for mix
ing himself up in doubtful public and
private transactions. So there are
precedents for this sort of thing, and
precedents are the breath of life to the
diplomatic soul.
THURsToN's STRANGE ADMISSION.
Gossips were copjuring with ru-
NOR late this afternoon that the Span
ish minister's recall will be demanded.
His offense is alleged TO be similar to
Thurston's, in that he gave an inter
view to the newspapers a few days
ago criticizing Secretary Gresham.
A New York newspaper of Febru-
ary 18th contained Washington dis
patch stating that Minister ThurstOn
has received official advices of the
sentences passed upon alleged con-
spirators in the late insurrectioD, and
names and other imp rtant data were
given. Two days later Secretary
Gresham sent for Minister TburstOn.
He took Thurston into his private
room and in white rage accused him
of giving official information to the
American newspapers before cOmmu
nicatiDg it to the Department. Secre-
tary Gresham says the Hawaiian min.
lister admitted that his act had been
undiplomatic. The entry of the oc-
currence on the State Department
records states this fact, and it is i'm
pOrtant, as the records will form the
official history of the occurrence.
Minister Thurston today declined to
say whether he had admitted that it
was undiplomatic. It was a remarkable
admission for him to make, if he did,
under the spell of Secretary Gresham's
sweatbox. Old diplomats say that
such an admission from a diplomat
would forever disqualify him for future
service in his chosen field and cover
him with everlasting disgrace. The
records of the State Department show
that the Hawaiian Minister admitted
that he had been guilty of an undiplo
matte act, but declined to comply with
Secretary Gresham's request to put
the fact III writing.

The very playthings of Japan have
now a warlike character, says a recent
newspaper from that country. Chess is
q favOrite amusement of the Mikado's
subjects, and the shapes of the pieces
have been changed of late to meet
the popular taste, the pawns being
made to represent japanese and Chin
csc soldiers, and the bishops, knights
and rocks the officers of higher rank.
The market is also being flooded
with a great variety of mechanical
toys, of tin and wood. which. by turn
ing crank or by simple clockwork
are made to show Chinese soldiers in
various unenviable positions. Some
of them represent the CeleStialS pur-
sued by japanese troopers, who make
terrific sweeps with sword or lance
in a stately see-saw; others show pris-
Oners caught by their queues and try
ing to avoid the rising and falling
blades. A favOrite paper-weight or
desk ornament is a clay figure of a
Chinaman pleading for mercy. The

presents a japanese war vessel grad

American Flax for Fiber

Flax is grown for the seed from
Ohio to the DakOtas. although rs vet
little attention is paid to the fiber At
the Minnesota station Fargo flax has
proved an especially good yielder of
seed, and of fiber as well, and the va
riety is being used as basis for Sc
lection and crossing. White blossomed
Dutch flax does not do we'll in the
rather dry American climate. 1t has
been thought necessary to use flax
seed imported from Russia for grow
ing fiber, or at least that which has
been grown only one or two years in
Western Europe, where it is the Gus
tom to get part of the seed every year
from Riga and vicinity. The expert
ments of Prof. Hays indicate, how
ever, that the states west Of the great
lakes are quite as good a source of
flaxseed for America, and possibly for
the growers of flax fiber in Western
Europe, as is Russia. 1t is notewOr-
thy that this flax is grown on wheat
land, and would replace that staple to
some extent.
