ABOUT HAWAII
THE PRESIDENT TALKS FREELY
ON THE SUBJECT.
Hawaii, in It's Relation to Us, Is For
eign Countryside Makes Public In
structions Given to Commander
of the Philadelphia.

Washington, Jan. 20.-In conversation
this evening the president seemed en-
tircly willing to discuss the Hawaiian
question. He said: No information has
been received which indicates that any
thing will happen in Hawaii making the
presence of our naval vessels necessary,
unless we are prepared TO enter upon Il
policy and course of conduct violating
every rule of international law and ut
tcrly unjustitiable. All who take interest
in the question should keep in view the
fact that Hawaii is entirely independent
of us and that in its relations to us it is a
foreign country. A ship has been sent to
Honolulu, not because there has been
any change in the administration, and not
because there seems to be any imminent
necessity for its presence there. The YES
sci has been sent in precise accordance
with the policy of the administration in
every case of the kind and from motives
of extreme caution and because there is
II possibility that disturbances may be
renewed which might result in danger to
the persons or property of American citi-
zens entitled to the protection of the
United States. This course was at once
determined upon as soon as the informa-
ton reached the government of the recent
trouble So far from having the slightest
objection to make public the instructions
which were given TO the commander of
the Philadelphia and the dispatch he will
carry to Mr.. Willis, our minister in Ha-
wall, l am glad to put them before my
fellow citizens. Here they are:
Rear Admiral Beardslee, Flagship
Dhilu1nlpbin Snn IronniS,n. Drn,nn1
with the steamship Philadelphia to Homo
lulu, ii. |. Your purpose as the United
States senior naval officer there will be
the protection of the lives and property
of American citizens. In case of war in
the islands. extend no aid nor support,
moral or physical, to any of the parties
engaged therein, but keep steadily in
view your duty to protect the lives and
property of all such citizens of the United
States as shall not, by their participa-
ton in such civil connections, forfeit
their rights in that regard to the protec-
ton of the American flag. American citi-
zenS who, during revolution in a foreign
country, participate in an attempt by
force of arms or violence to maintain or
overthrow the existing government can
not claim the government of the United
States shall protect them from the conse-
QucnceS of their acts Show these instruc-
tons to and counsel freely with the United
States minister at Honolulu on all points
that may arise, seeking his opinion and
advice whenever practicable upon the
civil employment of the forces under your
command, bearing in mind that diplomatic
and political interests of the United
States are in his charge. Afford him such
aid in all emergencies as may be neces-
sary Attention is called to article 2S7 of
the United States navy regulations, as
amended. Acknowledge telegram.

is A VICTIM OF MANIA
Oscar Wilde Has an InOrdinate Thirst
for Notoriety
Novel Plea Put Forward in Defense OF the Ac-
cused-He Will Probably Be Ad-
mitted to Bail

NEW YORK, May 3.-A London cable
to morning paper says:
Oscar Wilde is now said by his friends
to be the victim of mania. DR.. Forbes
Winslow and DR.. Blandford, eminent
psychologists and specialists in diseases
of the mind, are busy in investigating
the record of the Wilde family and pre-
pairing diagnosis of the patient mental
and physical condition. 1t is more than
likely that when Oscar Wilde is next
placed on trial the testimony of these
learned men will be made a feature of the
defense in order to offset the possibility
of the next jury finding him guilty of the
charges brought against him. The plea
will be made that he. guilty or innocent
OF the crime. is subject for pathological
treatment and not for the laws of ven-
geance. This course is said to be contem-
plated py Sir Edwin Clarke, q. c.. in op-
position to Wilde's relatives. Secrecy is
being observed in the matter and none of
those concerned will talk about it.
There is no suggestion that any of
Wiide's ancestors were affected. even in a
remote way. with the form of degener-
acy attributed to him. The heridity
problem is far more complex than that
Many forms of nervous disease in parents
might produce in the child pathological
conditions that would if unchecked
bring him within the reach of the law.
This is generally recognized by physicians
and the profession is delighted at the
prospect Of this point becoming the issue
at law. Sir William Wilde. Oscar s
father. was remarkably eccentric. although
almost genius as an oculist and as an
antiquarian. Oscar Wilde has long been
regarded as subject of the form of in
sanity called by the French ''folie ambi-
tieuse," the signs of which are inordinate
vanity and thirst for notoriety.
LONDON, May 3.-Upon application of
counsel for Oscar Wilde, the judge today
decided to Init the prisoner to bail.
The amount will be fixed tomorrow.

QUESTION OF THE TINES
Novel Views of q Woman onthe Government
r. sn " of f1en stt7f

p .stttl H Of Ten st}i
- NEW YORK. May '3.-Mrs. Marie Mer =
rick, in lecture at the chronological
rooms on A Question of the Times As 1t
Concerns Women, said, in dealing
with the relations of men and women.
that unrestricted intercourse OF the sexes
as we now have it. was not an unmixed
blessing in its effects upon the nobility of
the woman or the morality Of the male.
Mrs. Merrick took the ground that wo-
men are largely responsible for the
moral laxity of the opposite sex, and she
especially condemned the woman who had
allowed men who stood in no relation to
her which warranted the act to embrace
and kiss her. Such women, she declared.
rendered men the willing and helpless
prey of that class of their sisters from
whom they turned in disgust.
Modern bathing suits, ball dresses.
round dances and kissing games were
all condemned as tending to an evil famil-
iarity. The lecturer dwelt upon the fu-
ture, when. she said women would be
mans inspiration to high and noble things
and when she will help him discover his
hidden moral nature and be as well his
intellectual and physical equal. She
should hold herself precious, and no man
will value her as she values herself. In
that day she said society will not condone
in men the sin for which women are
forev er debarred. They will then be re-
ceived back to grace only when they have
proven their upright intentions.
