We have been asked what Mr..
Dole had to pardon, and we have
been trying TO recall the circum-
stances for reply, and find that
they range up, as follows: On tha
FIRST of January, 1893, Mr.. Dole held
Queen Liliuokalani's commission as
an Associate Justice OF the Supreme
Court, and had solemnly sworn to
support the Constitution and laws
Of the Kingdom of Hawaii, aud to
bear true allegiance to the Queen.
At about the same time conspiracy
was formed by the United States
Minister, John l.. Stevens, Captain
Wiltse, of the United States ship Of
war Boston, aud bakers dozen of
INSCRIPTIONS persons, who cast
longing eyes on the two-cent bounty,
paid for American grown sugar, to
annex Hawaii 10 the United State 3.
On or about the 18th OF January,
1898, Mr.. Dole, having come to some
agreement with the conspirators, re-
signed as Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court to assume the Presi-
dency OF Provisional Government,
to be set up by the armed forces Of
the United States of Am 'rica, and
to be maintained by the said forces
until annexation was consummate d.
On the 18th Of January, 1893, the
forces OF the United States having
dethronsd the Queen and set up a
Provisional Government, Mr.. Dole
cast aside the Judges robs aud
donned the Presidential toga, she'd
ding his solemn oath with the same
ease that he cast aside the robe.
On the 9TH OF January, 1895, loyal
adherents of the monarchy and
Queen essayed to down Mr.. Dole
and his friends, who in the mean
time had set up the so-called Re
public OF Hawaii. The attempted
overthrow having proved failure

From Our Special Correspondent
Washington, May 2.-The board Of
managers of soldiers homes, which has
been in session here in several meet
ings during the past week, has not dis
cussed the removal Of Gov Smith from
the Leavenworth home at all
The board has been considering other
matters, and as a resolution to investi-
gate Smiths management of the Leav-
enworth home is pending in the house
the board did not consider it was its
province now to take the matter up
The question is wholly out Of our
hands now said a member Of the
board Of managers to the Journal cor
respondent. "A resolution to investi-
gate the Leavenworth home is in the
house with a favorable report 1t is
useless for US to discuss the question or
take any action regarding it until that
resolution is disposed Of"
Gov. Smith has written asking that
the investigation be made, saying that
in view of the charges which have
been made. it is due himself and those
who have supported him to have an
investigation.
There seems to be no doubt in the
minds of all the Kansas congressman
that the old soldiers Of the state want
Gov Smith put out.
The old soldiers Of Kansas are likely
not to get their wish, however, if Con-
gresham Blue, who has been conduct
ing the fight. makes as bungling work
in handling his resolution for an inves-
tigation as he did Of the fight on Frank
lin.
There is not a particle Of doubt that
Blue lost in that contest because Of the
nastiness of his attack and the indie
cency of his speech on the floor of the
house.
Members who would have voted
against Franklin If the situation had
been explained TO them in a calm. bust

vicious assault Of Blue. believing that
it must be only personal malice or a.
desire to get some particular person

an easy matter to have defeated him.

Nearly $4,000 Appropriated to Aid

From Our Special Correspondent.
Washington, May 2.-The friends of
irrigation have been able to secure ap-
preparations from this congress directly
or Indirectly aiding this work to the
amount of S14 500.
Congressman Long was one of the
most active members of the house in
working for these amounts while Sen
atOr Warren of wyoming was the chief
champion Of irrigation in the senate
The sum of STA. 500 mentioned above in
in the sundry civil appropriation bill
which has passed both senate and
house 1t is now in conference, but
the amount viii hardly be changed.
The items making up the total sum
are $4,000 for gauging the streams and
determining the water supply of the
United States. including the investiga-
ton of underground currents in arid
and semi arid sections; $4,000 Cn Tho

work OF gaugtng streams for this year,
and $4,000 for printing and binding
monographs and bulletins of this work

viii be for distribution by the senators
and representatives
Speaking of what had been aceomp-
lished for irrigation, Representative
Long said;
We had to give up trying to get
anything in the agricultural bill be-
cause of the resentment which is felt
by many senators and representatives
for that department as if has been
managed by Secretary Morton.
We have secured the same thing
however. under the direction of the
geological survey The senators and
representatives from the mountain
states who have been active in helping
to secure these appropriations would
work for them if TO be expended by the
geological survey, for its work has been
productive of good results in their sec
tons They would not have done any
thing toward getting an appropriation

sold only, as they are of great scientific
value.
Five thousand copies of them will
now be printed for distribution at the
request Of the senators and represent

avoided ia all these items because it
seems to offend eastern mem ers and

Mr. Long has worked diligently to
secure these items for irrigation and
