Criticising the Course of the Adminis- tration in the Hawaiian Affair. A special dispatch from Omaha to the New York Tribune quotes Bishop John P. Newman as follows in an interview upon the Hawaiian question: “There is one point I wish to state first and emphasize. The revolutionists were na- tives, were subjects of the government they overthrew. I am familiar with the islands and their people, and I have other information on this subject. They were not foreigners, and had as much right to revolutionize the government as had our forefathers. The men who formed the pro- visional government were for the most part the native-born sons of missionaries and merchants who went to the. islands ‘long ago. The United States had nothing to do with deposing Queen Liliuokalani. The ma- rines landed from the Boston, according to Minister Stevens and all the evidence, did not take any part in the revolution; they simply protected American property. The i} é at vel point is, what right has.this government to | for vessels off che amy, Ware, entertained interfere now, and say that the govern-| ment which the people of the country over- | threw shall be restored? When I was there | during the old king’s time the people were | already talking of revolution—and it was their, not our, revolution.” “What will be the effect of the position taken by this government?’ “President Clevéland is my President, that is, he is the President of my country, and I would not like to say anything harsh or unguarded, but for the honor of the | country I hope that one administration will not, out of pique, go back on another ad- ministration. I think that the publication of Secretary Gresham's letter was prema- ture, and I will also say that I think there is some personal feeling on his part in the matter toward the last administration. The giving out of his letter and the position taken in it is certainly a remarkable pro- ceeding. The letter should have been trans- mitted through the President to the next Congress, An important point is that the government has recognized the provisional government, and Minister Willis has been accredited to it. How then can the Presi- dent, acting alone, without Congress, with- | draw our representative to the provisional government and send one to the queen? The government would have to reverse it- self to do so, and the question comes up to the right of the President to act withou the consent of the Senate. “But the present administration’s recog- nizing the queen and restoring her to the throne are two very different things. The adherents of the queen will not be able to restore her to the throne without aid, and whether President Cleveland will send war- ships and enough soldiers to restore the old government, markable proceeding on the part of this republic, I cannot say. From my _knowl- edge of the people there. whom I well kno’ the provisional government cannot be per-*! manently overthrown.” Bishop Newman believes that Hawaii should belong to the United States, and that the islands will in a short time be peo- pled and controlled entirely by the Saxon race. The native race is dying off, and the country must, in the course of time, be un- der the protection of and belong either to the United States or some European gov- ernment. He is, therefore, heartily in favor of annexation, and believes that the sooner it is accomplished the better it will be for both countries. —- + #e0- THE GRIDIRONS’ FLIGHT SOUTH.

The first ladies’ day of the season at the Columbia Athletic Club yesterday afternoon was a most striking success. The club house was handsomely decorated and filled with fair guests, who found the cozy cor- ners and comfortable divans delightful places to while away an afternoon. For their amusement an athletic exhibition was given in the big gymnasium, and afterward a bowling match was played by teams from the bachelor members of the club and the married men. The first number on the athletic program Was a potato race, and this was followed by feats on the horizontal bar by Sewell, Lee, Ross, Hough and Prof. Crossley. Then little Master Frank Walters did his acro- batic performance with Prof. Crossley. J. R. Elder gave an excellent exhibition of high kicking. After work on the spring ™% | board and German horse by Sewell, Howard | Lea, Midge Ross, Ball and Prof. Crossley, Messrs. by and E. M. Harmon gave an exhibition with broadswords. Royce Hough gave an exhibition in high jumping and cleared the bar at 5 feet 6. The last act was on the double trapeze by Eddie Sewell and Midge Ross. The game of tenpins was won by the bachelors. Mr. Norman Bestor, who made a total of 343 in the two games, was pre- sented with a handsome gold pin for mak- ing the highest score. — A year on Jupiter is equal to eleven years ten months and seventeen days on our globe.

OTHER REPORTS OF WRECK. LONDON, Nov. 17.—A heavy gale set in yesterday on the western and southern coasts of Great Britain, and it is thought that the maritime casualties will be great. A tremendously heavy sea sprang up in the English channel and Irish sea, and many vessels experienced much difficulty in reaching port. Fishing and coasting vessels made for the nearest shelter, but all did | not reach their havens of refuge in safety. The schooner Favorite of Ilfracombe was | seen last night staggering along under short |canvas. She was standing up to Bristol | channel. Soon after she was first sighted she disappeared from view in a black squall and when it became possible to again see |objects seaward the schooner had disap- | peared. It is believed that she was capsized |in the squall and filled and sank, carrying | | all on board down with her. | This morning the gale was plowing with unabated vigor, and in shipping and insur- for vessels off the coast. ‘The boats, that went out from the ports this morning in search of vessels desiring assistance reaped a harvest. Many of them returnel, having in tow dismasted and rudderless craft of every description. Foundering of a Steamer. Among the fatal disasters already réport- ed is the foundering of the British steamer | Boileau, a vessel of 1,810 tons, oelonging to | Cardiff. She had a crew of twenty-one persons. The captain and sixteen of the crew are believed to have been ost. Four men have been saved. The steamer is believed to have sunk off Lundy Isle. The British bark Lowestoft was wrecked in the Tyne this morning. She went ashore in a bad place, and the sea made a clean breach over her. The masts went over the side and the crew were gbligea to lash themselves fast to the "stumps stand- jing above deck to keep . themselves from being washed overboard. They would in all likelihood have been drowned had it | Pot been for the efforts of a life saving | crew and the coast guardsmen. The surf was running so high that it was useless to | attempt to launch the life boat, so the rock- _et apparatus was brought out and a line thrown over the wreck. A breeches buoy was rigged and all on the bark were brought ashore in safety. The coasting vessel Jane Douglas is ashore at Holyhead. Her crew were taken off by a life-saving crew. Many minor cas- ualties have been reported. A Terrible Experience. There was an exciting scene at. Liverpool upon the arrival there at noon today of the steamer Blackrock from Dublin. The steam- | er is one of the regular Dublin packets. Her | passengers displayed the greatest anxiety to get ashore, and a rush was made for the | landing stage as soon as the steamer’s en- | gines were stopped. The passengers state | that they never passed such a night in their | Hives. | Shortly after the steamer left Dublin she | got the full fury of the gale and made the | Very worst kind of weather of it. She had a large number of cattle on board, and as the vessel pitched and rolled some of them were thrown off their feet and had their legs broken or were otherwise injured. The storm continied to increase in se- verity and finally the steamer was thrown on her beam ends. The freight on board shifted and this prevented the vessel from righting. The cattle were piled in a bellow- ing, struggling mass against the lee bul- warks and the greatest excitement pre- vailed among the passengers. The efforts |of the crew were directed to shifting the cargo and getting the vessel as near as could be on an even keel. The greatest difficulty was met with In priggtead the cattle and keeping ‘them in thy proper places when they were re- leased. Finally the steamer came up suffi- ciently to allow of her engines again being used to advantage and then proceeded on her voyage. She had a very bad list, how- lever, when she came into port and it was jacercey, possible to stand upright on her eck. | When the cattle were put on the land- | ing stage it was found that nearly all were | more or less injured. One hundred and six- |ty of them were so badly hurt that it was necessary to kill them at once. | Some of the passengers were almost ex- hausted by the dangers through which they | had passed and by the physical exertions they had been compelled to make to keep themselves from being injured. They say |that when the vessel went on her beam |ends they gave up hope of ever seeing the jland again. They are high in their praise jef the manner in which the little packet was handled by her officers and crew. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the gale con- ene: with little, if any, sign of abate- ment —___ BULGARIA’S FIRST ‘PRINCE, Once an Eastern Ruler. VIENNA, Nov 17.—Prince Alexander ‘of Battenberg, formerly Prince of Bulgaria, | whose illness was announced in these dis- Patches yesterday, died at noon today at | Gratz. Alexander Joseph, Prince of Battenberg, | Count of Hartenau, was the second son of | Prince Alexander of Hesse. He was born | April 5, 1857. He attended the military | school at Dresden and subsequently en- | tered the dragoons of the guard of the Grand Duke of Hesse. He took part in the | Russo-Turkish war in 1877-78 and was pres- jent at the siege of Plevna with General | Gourko. After this campaign he entered | the royal guard of Prussia, | When Bulgaria was made an hereditary principality under the treaty of Berlin | Prince Alexander, who was supported by | Russia, was elected prince by the assem- bly of notables of Tirnova on April 29, 1879. | The election was confirmed by the sultan of Turkey, who was suzerain of Bulgaria. On July 13, 1879, Prince Alexander as- sumed the reins of government and in 1885 | war was declared against Bulgaria by Ser- | Via and _a Servian army marched into Bul- | garia. They were met at Slivnitza by ‘a Bulgarian army under the personal com- | mand of Prince Alexander and were routed. | Austria intervened in the dispute and an armistice was declared. On August 21, 1886, Prince Alexander was deposed by a conspiracy of high state of- ficers, who were said to have been insti- gated by Russia. He was sent out of the country and subsegently took up his resi- dence in Austria. Later he married a German actress and assumed the name of Count of Hartenau. He became a naturalized Austrian subject and in October, 1891, he was appointed a colonel in the Austro-Hungarian army. ——__ SHOT INTO DELMONICO’S, Roeth Held to Be Examined as to His Sanity. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—George A. Roeth, a man who caused immense excitement at Delmonico's yesterday evening by firing a fusillade of pistol shots into and about the dining room, was arraigned in Jefferson Market police court this morning. Koeth was confronted in court by Simon E. Nies, the bookkeeper for Delmonico, and he pre- ferred a charge of insanity against the man. Roeth told Justice Hogan that he was twenty-eight years old and lived at No. 530 West 46th street. “I am a socialist,” he sald. “I am not a follower of Herr Most. I believe that Bel- lamy's doctrine is the nearest true of all | that have been talked or preached. I did not set out with the intention of shooting any one yesterday, but when I saw the millionaires sitting about Delmonico’s. it made me so mad that I went to a pawn shop and purchased the pistol.” Roeth further said that he had been drink- ing lately. Roeth was committed to the| commissioners of charities and corrections | | for examination as to his sanity. gaa oes era The authorities in Finland will not have active members of the Salvation Army in their midst.

Great Scheme of an Island Kingdom—Liliuckalani’s Constitu-- tion and Its Disappearance. There is an interesting fact connected with this Hawaiian row that has not yet been noted, which casts some light on the condition of politics in Honolulu. Mr. Hast- ings, the attache of the legation here, is an American by birth, and for a number of years in his young manhood was a@ clerk in the State Department. At that time there was prevalent an idea of establishing a diplomatic system similar to that of Great Britain, which causes the ministers to be shifted around from post to posi, thus mak- ing a sort of perpetual regime, with pro- motion from one country to a more de- sirable one as a reward for good work. In pursuance of this plan the State Depart- ment inaugurated a kind of kindergarten, sending out civilian clerks to various posts consular clerks, and afterward working them into the system as consuls. Mr. Hastings was sent out to Honolulu as clerk to the consul there, and served for several years. He was afterward pro- moted, and became consul at one of the stations. But while engaged thus he met and loved and won the daughter of one of the wealthy American planters in the islands. After they were married Mr. Hast- ings drifted toward a Hawalian sentiment, and eventually became a citizen of that country. His long experience in American diplomacy secured for him at once an ex- alted position in the state department of Hawaii, and through good service he rapid- ly rose to the leading place in the depart- ment. He served at its head for over a year and a half—an unusually long term of office in Hawaii, as will be shown by the fact that during that time he was under no less than six different administrations, or cabinets. This well illustrates the kaleidoscopic character of Hawaiian politics, which at one time rivaled the fleeting nature of the South American republics. Of course over all and through all ruled the sovereign, king or queen, but he or she swept aside cabinets to make new ones, only to be dis- Pleased with them in short order. Poker and Diplomacy. Apropos of this there is a story told on Celso Caesar Moreno of this city, which was outlined in the resume of Hawaiian politics printed in The Star yesterday. As Stated there, Moreno had gained an unusual influence over King Kalakaua, who, it is said on the bestof authority, was exces- sively fond of the alluring game sometimes known as poker. The king was a very bad Piayer, and customarily lost heavily, but this did not deter him, and he never lost a chance to “get in a game.” Naval omcers wno have been stationed here alter a s0- Journ in rtonviulu vei many good stories of tne King's vad playing at games in which they wok part.

Thus the queen’s own supporters fled for help to her enemies, and gave them the first inti- mation that there was to be a new consti- tution proposed. Before the storm broke over her head, however,she had the shrewd- ness to secure possession of every copy of the document in existence. There was probably not more than one such, but what- ever the number, all trace of the constitu- tion as it had been set down in writing had disappeared when a search was made for it after the bloodiess revolution that un- throned Liliuokalani. At the time of these exciting events Min- ister Stevens was on one of the other is- lands on a vacation trip, and did not know of the queen's attempt to folst the new con- stitution upon the people until he had re- turned, the night of the overthrow, and found things in chaos. Hawaii for ans. The last amendment of the constitution noted above contains the keynote of a cer- tain school of politics in Hawall. The cry was raised some years ago of “Hawaii for the Hawalians.” This cry had originally been raised in Egypt, in the form of “Egypt for Egyptians,” when Arabi Pasha was making his futile attempt to throw off the English shackles. It proved a popular shib- boleth, had a good ring and tickled the jealous ears of the native Hawaiians, or Kanakas, immensely. So whenever any one chose to run on that {ssue alone and to flood the islands with Mterature of that class he had a moral certainty of victory. The Kanaka vote in the islands is about two to one. The natives may have the ut- most confidence in white men of their ac- | quaintance, but when it comes to election and some one raises the cry of “Hawaii for | INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. ACCOUNTANTS.

The English interests have shown no a) breciable increase since the set back that the annexation cause received last spring owing to the non-action of the Senate here. As a matter of fact, it is now said, without contradiction, the present English colony in Hawali is widely divided on the subject. There are some who take an extreme view on patriotic grounds and oppose annexa- tion, But there are others who recognize the value of a closer business relation be- tween the two countries, and are radically a favor of a political union with the United tates, ——___ - e+ ——_—__ NAVAL COMMANDER AT HONOLULU. Admiral Irwin's Brother Was Liliuo- kalani’s Minister to Japan. From the New York Sun. e WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Admiral John Irwin is a brother of Robert Irwin, Hawaiian minister and immigration com- missioner in Japan, appointed by Liliuo- kalani originally, and continued by the provisional government in the same place. He is also a brother of the late Richard Irwin of “Addition, Division and Silence” fame. Robert Irwin, the admiral’s brother, has made a fortune and is in the receipt of a princely income yet from sending Japanese voolies to the islands. This may account for the belief that “Ad- miral Irwin will be more in harmony with Mr. Willis, the new minister to Hawaii, than his predecessor, in carrying out the policy of the administration in regard to those islands. 5 Admiral Irwin is believed to be an officer of excellent character and standing, but there is nothing in his family history to indicate that he is likely to voluntarily @o anything which will interfere with the lucrative business of his brother, the minister. i: is sufficient to add that the annexa- tion of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States would knock the business of import- ing coolies or contract laborers into the islands, after they became dependencies of the United States, higher than the Beecher- scandal “knocked the . Life of It is very probable that Mr. Claus Spreck- els, who is a large employer of coolie labor. knows both Commissioner Irwin and the admiral, and for their common interest has not been a “deadhead” in the enterprise in which they are now engaged, under the patronage and protection of the adminis- tration. The foregoing facts, taken in connec- tion with the annotincement, made several months ago, that Mr. Paramount Blount had been sent to the Hawaiian Islands with in- structions to “sit on annexation,” suffi- ciently accounts for the secrecy with which the administration has surrounded all its actions in connection with this important ———+e+—______ TALKING OF FIRES. The Veteran Firemen Have an Inter- Public Meetin, Last evening was the first of a series of Thursday night meetings, open to the pub- lc, of the Veteran Firemen's Association at the hall, 19th and H streets northwest, and there was’ quite a large attendance. Mr. James H. Richards presided, with Mr. John J. Peabody,secretary. Mr. J. T. Given, for Mr. Ross A. Fish, presented a cape and belt of the Monumental Company of San Fran- cisco, of which he was a member, also a badge of the Exempts of that city. ‘The cape on@ belonged to John S. Durker, the pres. ent fire marshal of San Francisco, and the belt to George R. Davidson, killed-in Nica- | ragua. These were to show the style of equipment there in 1850, when Mr. Fish ran with the machine in that city. A vote of thanks was tendered. Mr. Peabody spoke of the fire at Bow. man’s brewery, on Capitol Hill, February 1, 1858, and of the fire at Lloyd's Iiill, on New Jersey avenue and C street nortawest, the same night, the alarm being given by a lady waking him up and he calling out of the window “Fire!” while getting in his clothes. Joseph Williamson of the Franklin spoke of his asSociation with that company and related the incidents of a fight when the bowling alley of Gen. McComb, corner 17th and I Streets, in the forties, burned, und gave some reminiscences of other fires, some of which he attended as a police officer, George Keithley of the Anacostia company related his experience at the arsenal and patent office fires. Mr. Robert Ball spoke of his connection with a junior fire company of »oys of fifteen years, known as the Friendship, and located at 4th street near H northwest, in J Their apparatus, built by Mr. Tongu coppersmith, was an engine with box five fcet long, two feet wide and high; fed by bucket it could throw a small stream.

Mr. John T. Given made some interesting remarks, the p speakers having re- called almost forgotten incidents, and ex- pressed the hope that the public meetings in the future would be continued. The fire at the Capitol library is the text for the meeing next Thursday night. Plans for the new court house and post office building to be erected at Savannah, Ga., were yesterday approved by the com- mittee appointed by Postmaster General | Bissell to consider them. This committee consisted of Chief of Inspectors Wheeler, Chief Inspector Arrington and Topograpner Von Haake. —————_- 2+ —____ Army Orders. The leave of absence granted Maj. Thomas E.

Browning, commissioner of Indian affairs, takes an optimistic view of the ed- ucational question as it concerns the wards | of the nation. Today he told a reporter for | The Star that the government training, day |and boarding schools, and the contract, | public and mission schools were flourishing. He thinks, though, that the best results are flowing from the training schools. Of these there are twenty, scattered through about fifteen states and territories. They | have an enrollment of over 4,000 Indian chil- dren. These schools are somewhat expen- sive, because of the necessary appilances for giving the children adequate instruction in the several trades. They are so widely scattered as to be readily accessible to near- ly all tribes, and it is not thought that it will be necessary to establish new schools of this kind. It is only a question of a little ‘ime when the capacity of these schools will have to be increased. Commissioner Brown- ing thinks that the purpose for which they were instituted should be more strictly ad- hered to than formerly. He believes that their attendance should be limited to puptis who have passed through the reservation schools. They should be treated as ad- vanced schools. The correctness of this position was recognized by the authorities at Carlisle, when the order was given out: “That no more Indian children shall euter and be educated at this school who have | not attended some other school for a period of at least three years.” It is quite proba- ble, thinks the commissioner, that transfers have been made from reservation to non- reservation schools without due care. This jis a promotion which: should be based on | merit. ‘This system will elevate the class of pupils at training schools and have a | favorable reflex influence on the reservation | schools. It requires thorough and system- atic training to render the pupil morally strong enough to resist tribal custom when he returns to his native heath. Then the |rule which prevents the taking away of children from the reservation to the non- reservation school, with the full consent of the parents, has also operated beneficially to the service. This order, he . does not prevent the withholding of rations, clothing and other annuities from Indian parents oF guardians who refuse to keep their children | of proper school age in some school a rea- | sonable part of each ye The department | has not had to apply this rule. Commission- ler Browning believes that the Indian child taught to read, an write and live should first be speak English and to work ilized way. The out ment sy: tem, inaugurated at ¢ and followed by Phoenix and other training schools, has also j helped along the cause,
