queens cabinet called on Minister
Stevens to ask the aid of the United
States marines in sustaining the
queen against the Provisional Gov.
eminent then in course of forma.
ZION. Minister Stevens answered :.
"Gentlemen, these men were
landed for one purpose only. a
pacific purpose, and we cannot take
part In any contest. / cannot use
this force for sustaining the queen
or anybody else"
This remark was made and this
assurance given before the queen
had been deposed, and her cabinet
knew that the United States troops
would not Interfere in the affair in
any way.
ThlrtY-two armed citizens OF the
Committee of Safety mrrched TO
tho government building and took
possession OF it. The constitution
had not been formally promulgated
and, 1t is said, was never signed by
all the cabinet. The ministers
He'd. the guard went to the police
quarters, and the unfortunate
queen was deserted by everyone
save her marshal, Mr.. Wilson. who
through all her adversities had re-
manned her truest friend. 1t is
said that Mr.. Wilson warned her
against an attempt to promulgate
the new constitution. "1f you do,
it will be your ruin" he declared.
"bnt | will stand or fall with
YOU" If Mr.. Wilson made this
assertion. he kept his word. To
his credit be it said he was the only
friend Of the queen who, i'm the
hour of trial, displayed any pluck.
But be had not soldier or police
man to and him. and thlrty-two
men seized the government.
Hon. 5. b. Dole, the chief
justice of the supreme court, re-
sl2ned his position when the trou-
BILE began, and WAS made "A member
OF the Committee of Safety, and
later. on the organization of the
Provisional Government, became
Its president.
After the failure of the effort to
secure annexation of the islands to
the United States, and the defeat
OF the project to restore the queen.
the Provisional Government became
permanent government. A con.
stitution was framed and Hon. s.
b. Dole selected as president for
the term of six years ,y;er
choice could not have been made.
Mr.. Dole is "a brave, honorable con-
servative gentleman. He is
statesman beyond corruption. and
while dignfied, is utterly devoid of
any of the silly pomposity which so
often characterizes men who think
themselves great. He is easily ap
preached. open and honest. and
capable OF being at the head of a
much larger country than Hawaii.
