From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A man came over on the big Cunarder Campania’s last trip, who, being of an in- quiring turn of mind, used his eyes and ears to good advantage all the way, and he ex- pressed to a reporter the most unqualified amazement at the constant wholesale waste of valuable material. “I don’t think so much of the selling saloon fare to the steerage, “because the food would be thrown over- board, anyway, and the stewards, or ‘flunk- jes,” as the seamen call them, may as well make something off it if they can. Their pay is small, so the transaction results in substantial benefit to them. A great many persons come over in the steerage because they don’t care what their accommodations are so long as they get good food, and they are pretty sure of being able to buy that from the stewards. Of course it isn’t the square thing to do, but what I wondered the most at was the utter disregard for the ship's outfi “For instance, a steward would take down to the steerage a dozen dishes and plates of choice food, in a large bucket, carefully covered, so the contents would not be seen. Of course the bucket contain- ed silver forks, spoons, knives and very often silver vegetable and dessert dishes | and individual chocolate and coffee pots. When the food was eaten the china and | silver went back to the bucket and the whole business was quietly dropped into the | Tefuse chute and into the sea! [ve seein many as ten buckets taken down by the same number of stewards three or four times a day throughout a trip, and in every | case the crockery, silverware and buckets | went overboard. You may take my word | for it, that anything a steward carries be- | low never gets back to its proper quarters again—not only because of the risk of de- tection but because of the trouble. “TI doubt, though, if the risk is very great, | for some of the officers are themselves ex- ceedingly careless and destructive. I've seen large, brand new, handsome blankets | taken into an officer’s room for him to use as a rug while taking a bath. When he fin- ished the blankets were -rolled up and quietly dropped down the chute, and that | happened a number of times during the | Voyage, too. No, I can’t suggest a remedy, and the company wouldn't extend me a voie (of thanks if IT could; but it seems to me it would pay to have those things looked into a little, and a responsible man placed | in direct charge of affairs. “A steward’s pay is very small, ranging from $% to $9 a month, but never exceeding the latter sum. In many cases they get no pay at all, but, instead, not only work | Without a stipend. but also pay the com- | Pany for the privilege of serving it.” ——_——_+e+— The Relics in the Lincoln Hi eo. The museum of mementoes and relics at the Lincoln House, 516 10th street, is con- stantly receiving valuable accessions. The Century Company of New York has pre- sented a very fine copy of the Hay and Nicolay Life of Lincoln, in ten volumes. The library now in the house embraces over 1,000 volumes of biography of the mar- tyred President, beside full files of all the illustrated papers ard magazines of the war period. These are freely accessible to all visitors. Since the house was thrown open to the public, the custodian, Capt. | Oldroyd, has unpacked and arranged in | the basement a most interesting collection | of weapons, shells, balls, flags, &c., &c., | gathered by himself on battlefields. He | has also several thousand photographs, war \envelopes and similar articles ready to be | displayed. The collection is very rich in | articles of historic interest, and all of which |are authentic. | — The Spanish Exhibits at the Fair. Assistant Secretary Hamlin has instruct- ed Collector Clark at Chicago that the de- partment has no objection to him treating the Spanish commissioners to the world’s fair as the legal representatives of the owners of the government exhibits in the Spanish section for withdrawal purposes, so as to relieve the exhibits from alleged ex- cessive demands made by the brokers to whom the exhibits were originally con- signed. ——————_—S—S——————— RESULTS OF HURRY AND WORRY.

The Hawaiian Minister Contradicts Mr, Blount. MR. STEVENS’ OFFICIAL ACTS. No Prearrangement to Assist the Revolutionists. THE OTHER SIDE HEARD. Mr.Thurston, the Hawalian minister, gave out to the press last night a statement answering the published reports of Mr. Blount, as to matters of fact, directly con- tradicting, in many instances, the state- ments and inferences of Mr. Blount. Mr. Thurston says: First. Before stating such facts, I desire to call attention to Mr. Blount’s method of constructing his report. Although he in several places states that I was the leader of the revolutionary mov2ment, he has never asked me a question concerning the same, nor given me opportunity to make any statement, although I have at all tines been ready and willing to Jo so. The same is true of a large number of other men who took a leading part in the movement of January last. In the second place, his evidence consists exclusively of prepared affidavits or an- swers to leading questions put by himself, at private interviews, no one else being present but the stenographer. In ne in- stance has there been any cross-examina- tion of witnesses, opportunity given to contradict or explain evidence given, or present other evidence, Numero correct Statements. A brief examination of the published por- tions of the report shows numerous incor- rect statements. I shall endeavor for the present, however, to answer the more sa- Ment points only, First. Mr. Blount charges that the Amer- fean troops were landed der prear- ranged agreement with the committee of safety that they shout so land and assist in the overtirow of the queen. In reply thereto, I hereby state that ut no time did Mr. Stevens or Capt. Wiltse assure me or the committee of safety, or any subcom- mittee thereof, that the United States troops would assist in ovecthrowiag the queer or establishing the provisional government, and a8 @ snacter of fuct they dit not so assist. I can produce witnesses in support this statement, of the highest responsibi in overwhelming numbers; ; but Mr. Blount has rendered it annee: wury to du 80. The statements of Mr. Wurdenberg end Mr. Damon have been put forward as the strongest evidence in support of Mr.Blount’s contention. In Mr. Wurdenberg’s state- ment he says that when the committee of safety told Mr. Stevens they were not ready to act, he replied: “Gentlemen, the troops of the Boston will land at 5 o'clock, wheth- er you are ready or not.” The reason for this reply and the subsequent landing of the troops is manifest. The troops were landed to protect American citizens and Property in the event of the impending and inevitable conflict between the queen and the citizens, and not to co-operate with the committee in carrying out its plans. In fact, the troops did not co-operate with the committee, and the committee had no more knowledge than the queen’s government where the troops were going, nor what they were going to do. The whole gist of Mr. Damon's long examination is likewise contained in his statement that when, after the organization and proclamation of the new government, a request was made for the support of the United States troops, it was refused, Lieut. Commander Swinburne, the commanding officer, sending back word. “Capt. Wiltse’s order: re, ‘Remain pas- of Ys The Troopa Did Not Assist. Second. Mr. Blount charges that the queen had ample military force with which to have met the committee, and that but for the support of the United States represent- atives and troops the establishment of the provisional government would have been impossible. In reply thereto, 1 hereby state that, al though the presence of the American troops had a quieting effect on the rough charac- ters in the city, and may have prevented some bloodshed, they were not essential to and did not assist in the overthrow of the queen. The result of the movement would have been eventually the same if there had not been a marine within a thousand miles of Honolulu, In support of this statement I cite the following fact: (1) ‘ne troops. did not land till Monday night, the 16th of January, after the revo- lution had been in ruil progress since the afternoon of Saturday, the 1ith, during which time the committee of safety was openly organizing for the avowed purpose of overthrowing the queen. (2) There was absolutely no attempt at concealment from the government or the objects and intentions of the committee. (8) The queen, her cabinet ana their su porters were utterly demoralized, suspicious of one another, and devoid of leadership. (4) The committee of satety and their supporters were united; had ample rorce to execute their purpose; knew precisely what they wanted, and proceeded with intelli- gent deliberation, thoroughness and con- ndence to do it. ‘There is no conflict concerning the facts of the first proposition. it is admitted by all that the queen began the revolution at noon on Saturday, the lith, by attempting to promulgate a constitution; that such attempt was immediately followed by pre- paration on the part of the citizens for jarmed resistance; and that the United States troops landed at 3 o'clock Monday, the 16th. The Revo! In support of the second proposition, that there was no concealment from the Sovernment of the intentions of the com- mittee, I submit the following: 1, On the afternoon of Saturday, the 14th, in reply to the request of the queen's cab- inet for advice as to what they had better do, the queen then still insisting upon the promulgation of the constitution and sup- Porting it by force, I advised them to de- clare the queen in revolution and the _-hrone vacant, and at their request and with the express approval of two of them and the tacit assent of the other two. then and there \drew up a form of proclamation to that eflect. 2. At 4:30 on the afternoon of Saturday, the lith, at a meeting of avout 200 citizens at the office of W. O. Smith the queen was denounced in the strongest terms; armed resistance and a counter revolution was openly advocated, and the queen's minister | of the interior, John Colburn, addressed the meeting, asking their armed support against the queen. ‘Tne queen’s attorney general, Mr. Peterson, and her attorney, Paul Neu- man, were both present, taking part in the meeting. The committee of safety was pub- licly then and there named. and proceeded forthwith to organize. 3. At 6 o'clock on Sunday morning,the I told Mr. Peterson and Mr. Colpurn, two |members of the queen's cabinet, that the |committee intended to depose the queen |and establish a provisional government; that if they would take charge of the move- | ment, well and good; otherwise the com- | mittee intended to take action on its own jaccount. They asked for twenty-four hours |in which to consider the matter. 1 declined } to wait, stating to them that the commit- tee intended to proceed forthwith. 4. The committee met openly that morn- ing at 10 o'clock, with the full knowledge of j the government of the place of its meeting. ;It remained in session during the greater jpart of the day, while several police kept watch of the building from the street, The Public Meeting. On Monday morning at 9 o'clock the com- | mittee, without attempt at concealment, jmet in my office, within 200 feet of the po- lice station, Marshal Wilson's headquarters, where the entire police force was stationed. While the meeting was in progress Wilson came to the office and asked to speak to me privately, and we went into an adjoining room. Our conversation was in substance as follw: Wilson said, “I want this meeting stop- ped,” referring to the mass meeting for that | afternoon. I replied, “It can’t be stopped. It is too | late.” ion Not Secret. some way, ‘No, it cannot. It has gone too far.” He said, “The queen has abandoned her new constitution idea.” h, | An essential Yactor in judging whether the He said, “Can't this thing be fixed up in| I replied, “How do we know that she will not take it up again as she said she would?" He said, “I will guarantee that she will! not, even if 1 have to lock her up in a room to keep her from doing it, and I'll do it,too, if necessarv.”” I replied, “We are not willing to accept that guarantee as sufficient. This thing has gone on from bad to worse until we are not going to stand it any longer. We are going to take no chances in the matter, but settle it now. once and for all.”” Wilson then left the office. He has since stated that he immediately reported to the cabinet and advised arresting the com- mittee, but the cabinet were afraid and re- fused to allow it. At 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Monday, the 16th, a meeting of 3,000 unarmed men was held within a block of the palace. The meeting was addressed by a number of speakers, all denouncing the queen. ‘The meeting, with tremendous cheering and enthusiasm, unanimously adopted resolutions declaring the queen to be in revolution, and authorizing the committee to proceed to do whatever was necessary. ‘The police were present, but no attempt was made to interfere with the meeting or make any arrests. The meeting ad- journed amid the most intense excite- ment, and the citizens dispersed through- out the town, awaiting the further call of the committee. While the meeting was in progress an- other meeting was being held by the roy- ists in the street, within a block of the armory, which adopted resolutions in sup- Port of the queen. Mr. Blount Grossly Inaccurate. Never in the history of Hawaii has there been such a tense condition of mind, or a/| more imminent expectation of bloodshed | and conflict than there was immediately after the adjournment of those two radical- ly opposed meetings. Mr. Blount’s state- ment that the community was at peace and quiet was grossly inaccurate. It was at this juncture, two hours after the adjournment of the above meeting, that Capt. Wiltse and Mr. Stevens, act- ing upon their own responsibility and dis- cretion and irrespective of the request or actions of the committee, landed the troops, which were distributed in three parts of the city, instead of being massed at one point, as stated by Mr. Blount. The reason that the queen’s government took no action against the committee or its supporters that they were overwhelmed by the unanimous display of indignation and de- termination shown by the citizens, and were cowed into submission in the same manner that the king and his supporters were cowed under precisely similar cir- cumstances by the same citizens in June, 1587. The Queen’ porters Demoralized. In support of the third proposition, that the queen and her supporters were de- moralized and devoid of leadership, I sub- mit the following: 1, During the few weeks prior to the revolution, Mr. Colburn, minister of the interior at the time of the revolution, had been one of the leaders of the political party opposed to:myself, and openly and bitterly hostile to me personally. My first intimation of the revolutionary intention of the queen was at 10 o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the 14th, when Mr. Colburn came to me greatly excited. He told me of the queen's intentions to pro- mulgate a new constitution, and asked my advice. I said to him: “Why do you not go to the members of your own party?” He replied: “I have no party. Those who have been our supporters are supporting the queen. The down town people (referring to the merchants) have got no use for me, and unless the members of your party and other citizens will support us, we are going to resign right away.” 2. At 1 o'clock on the same day I met all the members of the cabinet at the at- torney general's office. They had just come from an interview with the queen, at which she had announced her intention of promul- gating a constitution and demanded their Support. They stated that she had threat- ened them with mob violence, whereupon they had immediately left the palace, each one going out by a separate entrance. While we were talking a messenger came from the queen requesting them to im- mediately return to the palace. Peterson and Colburn positively refused to do so, stating that they did not consider their lives would be safe there. I shortly after left them and started down town. After I had gone about two blocks I was over- taken by a messenger from the cabinet asking me to return, which I did. They asked me to ascertain what support they could expect from citizens, and formally authorized me to formally state the condi- tion of affairs to leading citizens, and in their behalf to call for armed volunteers to r it the queen. I immediately proceeded to comply with their request, and, with the assistance of others, within an hour or two thereafter about eighty leading citizens had signed a written statement agreeing to| support the cabinet against the queen by force. Stormy Interview With the Queen. 3. Later the same afternoon Mr. Colburn informed me that he had finally gone to the palace and held a stormy interview with the queen lasting for over two hours. He told me that he had no confidence in bis colleague, Mr. Peterson, whom he believed was playing double with him, and told me to beware of telling Peterson anything fur- ther. As a reason for his distrust he said that he knew nothing of the intention to promulgate a constitution, but that while they were discussing the matter with the queen she said, in reply to an objection made by Peterson, “Why did you not make this objection before? You have had this constitution in your possession for a month and raised no objection to it.” Colburn said also that in reply to an 9b- jection made by Mr. Parker, minister of foreign affairs, she said, “Why did you not | tell me this last night when we were talk- ing over the subject?" Colburn further stated to me that at a caucus of their party on the previous Fri- {day night one of the members of the leg- islature, Kaluna by name, had said that if he could establish the new constitution he | would die happy, if he could kill some other men before dyin, 4. The queen furiously angry at the |refusal of the cabinet to join her in pro- mulgating the constitution, and publicly denounced them therefor. Royalists Wanted to Shed Blood. 5. When the queen made announcement of her failure to promulgate the constitu- tion, two of the leading royalists, members of the legislature, one in the throne room| in the palace, and one upon the steps of the building,addressed the assembled crowd, denounced the cabinet as traitors, and said | that they wanted to shed blood. One of them included the queen in his denuncia- tions. 6. During the entire time between noon | of Saturday, the lith, and the afternoon of Tuesday, the 17th, when the provisional | government was proclaimed, the queen's | cabinet was without plan of action, and did practically nothing but rush about the) city consulting with various foreign repre- | sentatives, and citizens of all purties, as to | what they had better do, begging the Amer- | ican minister for the support of the Ameri- can troops against the committee of safety, | and securing from the queen a declaration | that she would not again attempt to ab- rogate the constitution, which they hurried into print and distributed broadcast to try and appease the indignation of citizens and break up the proposed mass meeting. The Committee of Safety United. In support of the fourth proposition, that the committee and their supporters were united, had ample force to execute their purpose, and proceed with deliberation and confidence to do so, I submit the following: 1 | force of the committee was sufficient, and their confidence in themselves well founded, is to know what the same men under simi- | lar conditions have done upon previous oc- |casions. Fortunately, there is no dispute as to the facts concerning two recent inci- ‘dents in Hawaiian history, in which the |same parties who were brought into con- | flict in January, 1893, were arrayed against each other under similar circumstances. | 1. In 1887 the king, by a manipulation of | the electorate and the legislature, had en- _eroached upon popular rights and obtained |autocratic power over the people. In this | | course he was supported by practically the | same persons who in January last, and | now, constitute the reyalist party in Ha- wall. The open bribery, corruption and de- | bauchery of the king and his supporters | ‘crystallized the opposition thereto into an \organization of practically the same men | who organized and now constitute the pro- | visional government. Such organization w formed with the openly avowed intentiot of wresting from the king his powers or dethroning him. In preparation of the ex- | pected movement the king fortified the palace; loop-holed its basement for sharp- | | shooters; erected sandbag breastworks at the ertrance of the building; mounted can- |non and Gatling guns at all the approaches | thereto; largely increased his regular mili- | tary force and defied the organization and public opinion. The leaders of the revolutionary move. | / ment proceeded deliberately to collect such )arms as were available and organized their plans. An executive committee of thirteen was appointed, who took entire control of the movement and called a mass meet- ing . the same building used for that pur- pose in January last. The king attempted to head off the meet- ing by sending a letter to it promising cer- tain reforms. The letter had no effect. Resolutions were adopted denouncing the king and demanding the granting of a new constitution depriving the king of all per- sonal power. The resolutions were forth- with presented io the king by the com- mittee, who, unarmed and alone, proceeded direct from the meeting to the fortified palace, with the ultimatum that he comply with the demands within twenty-four hours or take the consequences. How the King Surrendered. The king was then in absolute control | of the regular troops, the special troops enlisted for the occasion, four companies of native militia, the police, all the artill- ery and Gatling guns, buildings, the palace, the barracks and the station house, with full knowledge of and weeks of preparation for the action taken by the citizens. His military strength Was greater and his control of the public buildings more complete than was that of the queen in January last. He did not fire a shot, submitted to all demands, disbanded his troops and turned the whole control of the government over to the revolutionary party, who, in con- sideration of his abject submission, allow- ed him to continue on the throne ii > urehead capacity. 2. In 1889, while the same men who now constitute the provisional government were in control of the king’s government, a con- piracy was organized among the royalist supporters by the king and Liliuokalani, for the overthrow of the cabinet and the restoration of the royal power and con- stitution. The conspirators took surprise and on the night of July 29 took Possession of the government buildings and palace, and, securing possession of all the artillery, fortified the latter. Victory Over Royal Power. The regular troops, by order of the king, refused to assist the cabinet, who called upon the white militia and white citizens for assistance. The cail was promptly responded to. The revolutionists were pro- tected by an eight-foot stone wall around the palace, and used artillery as well as rifles, while the cabinet supporters were armed with rifles alone. The fighting open- ed at 9 o'clock in the morning with less than thirty cabinet supporters in position in tront of the palace, which number wa‘ later increased to about 500. The royalist revolutionists opened with a fu-ious fire of both artillery and small arms. Within half an hour they were driven from their guns, seven were killed, and twelve wounded, and before dark all of them were dispezsed or captured, while not one of the cabinet sup- porters was injured. Such is the undisputed record of events upon two occasions when the royalists and the organizers of the provisional gove-n- ment have come into armed conflict, when there has been no suggestion of support to either side by any outside power. Under these circumstances I submit that the burden of proof is upon those who claim that the leaders of the p-ovisional government are cowards, or that they are incompetent to organize or successfully carry out a revolution against the royalists in Hawaii. It is unnecessary for me to here restate the details of the bitter constitutional con- flict which had been carried on between the queen and the legislature during the seven months prior to January last, nor to speak of the intense indignation existing among all classes of citizens by reason of the open and successful alliance of the queen with the opium and lottery rings. The political Nberties of the people had been trampled upon and their moral sense shocked. It simply needed the added provocation of the arbitrary attempt to abrogate the constitu- tion and disfranchise every white man in the country to spontaneously crystallize op- Position into a force that was irresistible. Not Aliens. In reply to the sneer that the persons tak- ing part in the movement were “aliens,” I would say that every man of them was by the laws of the country a legal voter, whose right to the franchise was by the proposed constitution to be abrogated. A large pro- portion of them were born in the country, and almost without exception those who were not born there had lived there for years, owned property there and had made | it their home. They were the men who had built up the country commercially, agricul- turally, financially and politically, and cre- ated and”made possible a civilized govern- ent therein. They were and are such men today are the leading citizens of the most progressive communities of the United States, with interests as thoroughly identi- fied with the interests of Hawaii as are the interests of native and foreign-born citizens in similar communities In this country identified with ft. EX-SECRETARY FOSTER’S VIEWS. The Feeling of the Harrison Adminis- tration Regarding Hawa: Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster yesterday said to a reporter in ref- erence to the Hawaiian question: “I don’t know that anybody knows what has been done. Everybody seems to take the Gresham letter as expressing the ad- ministration’s feelings, and the logical con- clusion of that letter seems to be the res- toration of the queen of the islands to the throne. If that is true, then President Cleveland has made a great blunder. The Gresham letter covers everything. It's a resume of Blount’s report, and the point made is that the marines landed from the United States ships and established the provisional government, with the aid of the United States minister, and that with- out that kind of force the new government would not have been established. If that is true the government has been wrong. “I don’t think there is any question of doubt that the provisional government rep- | resents the great business inferests on the | islands, and they ought to be sustained. How on earth the government can do any- thing else, when the provisional govern- ment has been recognized, not only by the Harrison administration but by Cleveland’s as well, and how he can tear that down and put up the old, I don’t know. I think if Gresham's letter had been published be- fore the election the vote for McKinley would have been unanimous.” Mr. Foster said that, of course, no one knows what the instructions of the govern- ment to Minister Willis really are. He con- sidered Willis a very able man, perhaps above the average, who has had a great deal of public experience. “What reports were received by the Har- rison administration?” was asked. “The Harrison administration ‘went on the information that the provisifnal gov- ernment was established without any aid 1893—TW the government | the cabinet by | ELVE PAG 7 FUN OUT OF OFFICE.

One was still hanging on to |@ place in the pension office by the eyelids, | War Department, and a fifth was once a | Special agent in the Indian office. The ex-pension clerk said he had been get- ting a living for four months as conductor on a certain electric road in Washington, |and really liked the job. The War Depart- | ment fellow did not tell just what he had been doing. He was well dressed, however, and did not look as if adversity had got far known to a few of his friends that for two | months during the fall he worked in a cer- | tain huge furniture establishment in Wash- MigWi suvveliig Cds uiy Lue Lurhaces aud | Peapilg Loe sure Pewaru ui 90 @ Wee Lor nis MuusUy, Me wed Mus atienGs Lo a HeIgnOUr- mg imcaent O: civilizauon on the avenue aud Ureatea them to Waat ne caliea “tonic, Whe he paia for ine same it is Sau ne \ dispiayea change enough wo prove that ne |hau cunsiderauy more nan Kept DOuy and soul loge.ner on hus earnings of a dollar a man who had been a special agent in the snqan vureau, wnen askea to teu where |he haa veen au summer, saia he had tried {to make fe wortn uying in Wasnington, | but had fauied and had jet nimself out at $10 ja month with board as porter in @ certain summer hotel in the mountains of Mary- land. “41 certainly had a good time,” said this ex-official. “i had to sweep rooms and halis, ‘boss chambermaids and run petty little er- rands.

Dr. Boyn: Never Was at Rio. The Haverhill, Mass., Gazette last night published the following letter from Dr. C. E. Boynton, dated Buena Vista, Ore.: “Allow me to state through your paper that the association of my name with Brazilian affairs is a fabrication. I have not been outside of the United States for several years, and have been very busy in medical practice since 1890.” Dr. Boynton, it will be remembered, was reputed to have been captured while aiding the insurgent fleet at Rio Janeiro. The re- port was credited everywhere, and his brother, E. Moody Boynton, took steps to Ward securing his release through the State Department, and it had been gen- erally supposed that his efforts were suc- cessful and that Dr. Boynton was now on his way home.
