Nothing indicative of American authority remains in Honolulu sa Minister Stevens and Commissioner James H. Blount of Georgia, the latter of whom sits in his easy chair at his cottage cogitating, no one knows what. On April 1, in the presence of a crowd num- bezing probably 2,000 persons, Lieut. Draper, marine officer of the Boston, blew the notes of the retreat from his bugle, and “Old Glory” sank from the sight of the throng and was re- placed by the colors of the Hawaiian monarchy, which still remains the flag of the island. Tt was on the afternoon of March 31 that Commissioner Blount held a lengthy conference with President Dole and the ministry, at which he notified them of bis intention to declare off the protectorate established by Minister Stevens February 1. It ix understood that he gave as his reason therefor that the Washington adwinistration did not regard the protectorate as necessary and further that it was incompatible with any diplomatic negotiations that might be arranged between the two countries. The United States, however. would brook no hostile interference in Hawaiian affairs by any foreign power. The provisional government somewhat reluctantly acquiesced in the commissioner's decision. AMERICANS DISAPPOINTED. The hauling down of the American flag and the restoration of the Hawaiian emblem,though causing excitement, was accompanied by no special incident. ‘The Americans, however, owed some chagrin, and officers of the Ameri- can navy apparently felt somewhat humiliated. Some of the Mohican’s officers as they turned slowly away said that while the withdrawal of the flag might be the proper thing in interna- tionai law they personally felt as if “we bad no right to be here and witness the act.

About the ouly public knowledge bad of him | at Honolula is contained in aletter of Presi- dent Cleveland to President Dole dated March | 11, in which Mr. Cleveland say ‘<I have made choice of James H. Blount, one of our distinguished citizens, as my special commissioner to visit the Hawaiian Islands and make a report to me concerning the present status of affairs in that country. He is well informed of our sincere desire to cultivate and maintain to the fullest extent the friendship which has so long subsistea between the coun- tries and in all matters affecting relations with the government of the Hawaiian Islands his authority is paramount.

An Innovation That Will Startle Society Introduced by the Bradley-Martins. The old adage that fashion is constantly changing appears to be as true today as it ever was. Like history, it is constantly repeating itself, instead of evolving newer things. Solo- mon’s saying that there is nothing new under the sun probably referred rather to the modes of bis day than to other matters. But an unmistakably new fad has been intro- duced in this day and year of grace among New York's four hundred. It has, says the New York Times, been reserved for tho Bradley-Martins, who have just returned from abroad for the purpose of marrying the only daughter of that fashi onable family to the Earl of Craven in that city, to introduce a new cus- tom for weddings. ‘The fad in question is for the bride to wear an old soiled gown for her wedding dress dur- ing the performance of the ceremony. ‘This is a somewhat startling innovation, even for these eccentric society people, but’ Mr. Bradley- Martin has announced it to be the correct thing, making the declaration in a certain sense a national one, and of course it must go with society at large—the four hundred—though it may not gowith Uncle Sam's custom house, bine and gold. The Bradley-Martins arrived on the Teutonic from England last week, bringing with them the only daughter of the house and 128 trunks and packages, comprising the family luggage. So important an arrival with such a long list of luggage naturally led the custom house people toexpect no end of dutiable articles of the costliest character, particularly as they were aware of the approaching happy event. ‘The occasion was deemed of sufficient im- portance by Surveyor of the Port Lyon to pro- ceed to the dock of the incoming steamer in person, escorted by his chief assistant, Deputy Surveyor Collins, and a full corps of uniformed inspectors. And when the gangway bridges were thrown out these officers began dreaming of the fine sights they would behold when the Bradley-Martin trunks should be opened for the display of the wedding trousseau and the consequent fat fees for the government. In due course Mr. Bradley-Martin made a landing with his family, and, after seeing the latter safely off the dock and into the family carriages, he turned his attention to the cus- toms officials. Surveyor Lyon had been called elsewhere and the deputy surveyor received Mr. Bradley-Martin’s declaration, ‘Mr. Bradley-Martin informed Deputy Collins that he bad brought nothing dutiable from Europe except an oil painting of his son, worth about $10,000. He then tendered the customs duty on the picture. As Deputy Collins expressed it: “You could have knocked me down with a feather duster.” Recovering to some extent Mr. Collins asked: “But where is your daughter's wedding trousseau?” “That,” said Mr. Bradley-Martin, “has been left at onr place up in Scotland. My daughter will return there to reside immediately after her marriage to the Earl of Craven. ‘These tranks here contain only our usual wearing apparel. all of which has been in active service, and therefore is not dutiable. “But where is the wedding dress—the wed- ding gown?” gasped the deputy surveyor, well- nigh dazed at the prospect of no dues ‘worth mentioning coming to the government after all the anticipation of the occasion. “Oh, that is here, of course.” replied Mr. Bradley-Martin, ‘‘in one of those trunks there, but it is an old one and in use. My daughter has worn it on several occasions at receptions in Enrope, and it is soiled, so that no duty can be charged on it.” Mr: Bradley-Martin was, of course, permit- ted to depart in peace on the strength of his declaration, but later on the case was reported to Surveyor Lyon, who detailed his chief in- spector to make an investigation into the rela- tive cleanliness of the wedding gown. Experts may have to be called in to decide whether the gown has been sufticiently soiled to come in free of duty, and all depends upon the ideas of such expert testimony as to what a the interests and prosperity of both govern- ments and render himself acceptable to your excellenc ‘The royalists, in view of Mr. Blount’s first official act, which was unaccompanied by any word or explanation, are greatly encouraged.

A large crowd gathered at the station to see him. He was seated in the smoker, and made some reflective remark about the ‘Tar- which a “Tarheel” passenger named Albright didn't like, and he in return mentioned Corbett’s name, and spoke of how he walked over John L. This razzled the “big fellow,” who got up and said: “I will slash your face;” where- upon Albright drew bis pocketknife and got ready to wade into him. Sullivan also drew his knife and walked toward the man, who went into the first-class car, Sullivan closely follow- ing, with open knife in hand.

EISNER & MENDELSON CO., SOLE AGENTS, 152 AND 154 FRANKLIN ST., NEW YOR! —_—_—_—_—_—_————_—_—_—_———_ FLAWS IN THE GLADSTONE BILL. FRANCE'S NEXT BUDGET. One of Lord Salisbury’s Off Advisers Opposes the Home Rule Measure, The debate on the second reading of the home rule bill was continued in the house of | commons yesterday. The Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, who was president of the board of agriculture in Lord | Salisbury’s last cabinet, dissected the bill from | the conservative point of view and pointed out the many flaws in it. Mr. Chaplin in the course of his specch took occasion to quote from a speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone in 1881, in which the improved conditions that had been effected in Ireland in the preceding twenty years were pointed out. Mr. Chaplin referred to the opinions of Cavour, Gefficken and Molinares against home rule as disproving Mr. Gla s stutement that foreign opinion was unanimously on his side If Mr. Gladstone,” exclaimed Mr. Chaplin, “is going to take his principles from the foreign enemies of England, it is time that he relin- quished the cares of government.” Continuing, he said that the retention of the Irish members in the imperial parliament, as provided for in the bill, woud prove tne beginning of » system of danger and intrigue. A PARNELLITE OPINION. Mr. John Edward Redmond, Parnellite mem- ber for Waterford city, followed Mr. ‘Chaplin. Mr. Redmond declared that the speech made by Mr. Chaplin was stale, fiat and unprofitable. The former president of ‘the board of agricul-| ture, Mr. Redmond said, was a type of the gov- ernors who had made Ireland disaffected and the concession of home rnle to that country in- evitable. ir. Redmond took occasion to explain why he spoke. He said that he would not have in- truded in the debate, but he had found that his silence had been misunderstood, and he desired to make his position clear. ‘The bill had been offered and accepted as a compromise measure. The right honorable member for Birmingham (Mr. Joseph Chamberlain) had complained that ‘the Irish members of the house did not accept the bill as final. What rignt had he to effect such a guarantee? Mr. Kedmond declared that he, himself, did not believe the bill to be a final settlement, and he agreed with Mr. Chamberlain that the final settlement would be found in the direction of a federalism. He believed that the new con- stitution would be a success and that in the future the bounds of freedom would be widened with the consent of all parties in Eng- land. Unless Ireland had no capacity for self- government this constitution must develop. + would bea rash man who would venture to say that it should be immutable for all time. Suppose aclause was inserted declaring the bill to be final, it would not be worth the paper it was written on. If Mr. Chamberlain meant by his complaint to impute bad faith to the Irish members because they declined to accept the bill asa finality he (Mr. Redmond) utterly disclaimed any such interpretation of their intentions. They protested with all the earnestness at their command their de- sire to accept the measure in an honest, candid spirit.and they hoped the bill would speedily end the miserable chapter of English oppression and Irish resistance. He had never said that Ireland would repudiate imperial su- premacy,as had been charged. What he had said was’ that an interference with Ireland's free exercise of her new privileges would not be consistent with the trust England was about to place in Ireland. He was convinced that the necessity for interference would not arise, be- cause rash or oppressive acts, should they be adopted by the new parliament, would be so many nails in the coffin of the constitution. Continuing his remarks, Mr. Redmond made a lengthy review of the historic basis of Ire- land's demands for home rule. IN CASE THE BILL 18 REJECTED. Mr. Redmond painted a gloomy picture of M. Dupuy’s Cabinet Discussed Yesterday the Budget for 1894. The estimetes show fresh expenditures amounting to 151,600,000 francs, as follows: In- crease in guaranteed interest on railway stock ‘on account of deficiency caused by the reduc- tion of the tax on express traftic, 91,000,000 francs; increase in expenditures for navy, 20,- 000,000 francs; increase in expenditures for army, 17,000,000 francs, and expenditures for putting new iaws into effect, 23,000,000 francs. M. Peytral, minister of finance, finding that abalance cannot be established by retrench- for solving the problem. One of these is to ex- clude the extraordinary naval expenditures from the ordinary budget, the second is to im- owe fresh taxor, and the third is to appropriate ward expenditures such amount as may be needed from the 180,000,000 francs which it ix expected to save as the result of the projected conversion of the 414 per cent rentes. ——— +e-___ NAMED BY ITS KEEPER. How the Central Park Hippopotamus Came to Be Called “Miss Murphy.” Considerable indignation has been expressed in New York by citizens of Irish birth or de- scent over the Irish nomenclature of animals in Central Park “Zoo.” ‘The park commission- ers, who were especially criticised at an Irish- American meeting on Tuesday night, deny that they are responsible for the circumstance. President Dana, in response toa question, said: “The park commissioners have never taken action in this matter, either in the way of naming the animals or prohibiting the use of such names as those given. The board, in fact, has known nothing about the business till just now. “Most of thekeepers of the animals are Irish- men, and the report we get is that the names ofthe monkeys and other animals complained of have been bestowed by them. In the case of the hippopotamus called ‘Miss Murphy’ the name was. given by her keoper, an Irishman of the name of MeGurty. “But there has been no official naming of the mals by the keepers. No sign bas ever been layed over the cages or elsewhere bearing the animals’ name. Had there been we would veto. Keeper McGurty doubtless called bis charge Miss Murphy in a humorous vein and to suit himself without any ideaof the name stick- ing to her and becoming publi “The names of other animals have been be- stowed, very probably by outsiders, who, per- haps, saw some resemblance of gesture or movement to a neighbor and friend. You newspaper gentlemen have had a good deal to do with it in your descrip- tions of the additions to the menagerie, and you know that we have no power to stop you from bestowing any name you see fit in your account of a chimpanzee, or ‘can we stop Visitors who have read your stories from foliowing your example and calling him by the same name till the name becomes a public fix- ture. “However, if any class of citizens feel ag- commissioners in charge of the department of public parks, will do all we can to remedy the situation. I’ should object emphatically to having an ourang-outang named after me unless the animal was a particularly good- looking and attractive one, A Times reporter called upon several Irish- Americans of high standing in the community. Judge Morgan J. O'Brien said that there were only two sides tothe question. Either ‘the distinctively Irish names had been given in jest, thoughtlessly, by the keepers, or the ion was intended as an insult to the Irish iter If it was intended asa Joke he could not see the humor in it. On the other hand, if it had been done with the deliberate intention of insulting the Irish Population he believed that the population should feel indignant, Mr. Joseph J. O'Donohue said that he re- garded it as a disgrace to the American people t such bigotry and intolerance should be manifested by the officials of the zoological garden as that of giving Irish names to the animals in the menagerie. Such an ingult should not be offered to any race. Maj. John Byrne said the subject was one that demanded prompt and decisive action on the part of the various Irish organizations of the city and he was willing to co-operate with them. He considered the action an insult to the Irish race. He said he had felt so deepiy about the matter that he had never paid a visit to the menagerie. rule bill. He ridiculed the so-called Ulster argument. There might be a Belfast question, but no Ulster question, 46 per cent of the pop- ulation of Ulster being Catholic. Many of the Protestant population were afraid to avow their sympathy with home rule. Mr. Redmond concluded with a warm appeal to the house to throw upon Irish shoulders the sobering influence of responsibility to enable Ireland to become, if not so Prosperous, rich and happy, at least as contented, and free as England. NO NECESSITY FOR THE MEASURE. Right Hon. Leonard H. Courtney (unionist), member for the Bodmin division of Cornwall, was the next speaker. He said he saw no ne- cessity for the home rule measure.
