The members of the New York and New Jersey boards of arbitrators, who Held a {conference with President Wilbur, First Vice President Sayre ani General Man- ager Voorhees at the Lehigh Valley rail- road office in Bethlehem yesterday after- jand proceeded at once to the Bingham House, where they met the strike leaders, President Wilbur's ultimatum, which the arbitrators brought with them, was given | to the representatives of the strikers for | their consideration. It reads as follow: “Mr. E. P. Wilbur states the position of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company to be as follows: The company agrees to take back as many of its old employes as it can find places for without any prejudice | | on account of the fact that they | struck or that they are connected with any labor organization; that when in the employ of the road commit- tees from the various classes of employes | will _be received, as stated in the bulletin | of November 21, and their grievances con- | sidered and justly treated, and that in em- ploying men in the future the company will give preference to former employes when the strike is declared off.” The strike leaders and arbitrators were together until nearly 8 o'clock, and when | they got through talking the latter left for |their homes. The arbitrators declined to give out any statement with regard to the Frobable outcome of their effort to mediate between the opposing sides, merely saying that their labors were at an end. — An Unusual Compliment. An unusual compliment has been paid a | member of the National Geographic Society of this city. Mr. S. Arnold Aplin of the | United States geological survey has been elected to a life membership in this organ- ization, being the first to whom this honor has been extended. Mr. Aplin, although a young man, has had considerable expe- rience in field and office work in the survey and has devoted much of his time to the Geographic Society. The resolutions which confer this distinction upon Mr. Aplin refer in fitting terms to his “untiring zeal in be- half of the society and his exceptional and highly efficient services.” There are other life members, but the privilege has been one of purchase, while the voluntary elec- tion of Mr. Aplin is the first instance in the history of the society where any one been chosen for life membership. — Yesterday’s Winning Horses. Guttenberg’s winners yesterday were Early Blossom, Major General, Tartarian, Soundmore, Wampezo and Dorine. The winners at Gloucester were Speed- away, Dutch Oven, Rancocas, Blondy's Victim, Doc Birch and White Wings, No racing at Chicago on account of the | weather, | At East St. Louis the winners were Fla- | villa, Budd Brooks, Merge, Rose Boy and | Lizzie V. At San Francisco the winners were Nor- mandie, Zampost, Tigress, Lottie D. and John Payne. | ———— cee. Overcome by Their Hardships. Capt. Randall and his wife, with the ten exhausted men of the crew, who for up- |ward of twenty-four hours were lashed to the spray-drenched rigging of the wrecked schooner Louise H.

Refutation of Charges Made by the Administration. ALL THE FACTS IN THE CASE. Ex-Minister to Hawaii Stevens, at Au- gusta, Me. has given out the following answer to Commissioner Blount: A deep sense of obligation to my country and an American's duty to defend an in- sulted, threatened and struggling Amerizan colony, planted as righteously and firmly on the North Pacific isles as our Pilgrim fathers established themselves on Plymouth Rock, demand that I shall make an answer to the astounding misrepresentations and untruths of Commissioner Blount’s report on Hawaiian affairs, a copy of which I first obtained, with difficulty, Saturday even- ning, November 25. It is proper for me to preface my answer by briefly alluding to the fact that those familiar with international rules and pro- ceedings and who have had diplomatic ex- perience must be astonished that Secretary Gresham and his commissioner should make before the world such a persistent effort to discredit the recent agents of the depart- ment they now represent and which was once represented by Thomas Jefferson, Will. fam M. Marcy, William H. Seward and James G. Blaine. The general adoption of such a policy by our department of foreign affairs could not fail to weaken greatly our influence with foreign countries in any future effort, and serve to make the Amer- ican diplomatic service contemptible in the eyes of the world. Not only is the course of Gresham and Blount extremely un-American in its form and spirit, but it is also in direct oppusition to the civilizing and Christianizing influence on the Hawatian Islands, while it is playing into the British hands, in direct opposition of the efforts of the American board of mis- sions and to the American government for more than sixty years, in all of which pe- riod there has been a uniform, continuous and patriotic American policy.’ I may also make a preliminary remark regarding the repeatedly asserted opinion of those who have assailed my official action, that 1 was Ex-Mi ter Stevens, prepared for, and stimulated to it by the accomplished and thoroughly American statesman who occupied the Department of State most of the period of President Harrt- son’s administration. It is sufficient to say that this expressed surmise is utterly with- out foundation. What I knoy «nd state on this point accords with waat ex-Secretary Tracy has evidently asserted in that regard. Still more, I may properly add, that the lines of official duty as followed by myself and Capt. Wiltse, and the course of the administration and of the Senate commit- tee on foreign relations, in the critical Ha- waiian days of January und February last, were exactly on the ines marked out by Secretary Marcy in 1854, and by Secretary Bayard in his dispatch to Minister Merrill, July 12, 188) Marcy’s instructions and draft of treaty provided for annexation. Bayard’s instruc- tions of 1887 held the Wnited States minister and naval commander at Honolulu respon- sible for the protection of American life and property and the “preservation of pub- lic order.” Blount “na Neophyte in Diplomacy.” So much as a necessary introduction to my consideration of Blount’s report. Not wishing to be severe on a neophyte in diplomacy, with but little knowledge of the world’s affairs outside of his own country, sent on a very peculiar errand amid cur- rents and quicksands entirely unknown to | him, he has been partly the victim of cir- cumstances, having been caught in the meshes and snares adroitly prepared for him by the cunning advisers of the fallen Liliuokalani and by the shrewd, sharp, long-experienced British diplomatic agent, whose aims and hopes Blount has served so well, and without the least suspicion that he was aiding ultra-British interests, even more than he was helping the Hawaiian monarchists and the justly dethroned queen. It is clear enough from Blount’s manner on the day of his arrival at Honolulu, as weil as by his letter to the Department of State written shortly after, that he designed, at whatever cost, to repudiate the views and action of the recently terminated adminis- tration, and that in order to do so he must impugn the action of Minister Stevens and of the commander of the United States ship Boston. A total stranger, it was impossible for Mr. Blount to know how unfitting it was for him to take up his quarters where he was certain to be surrounded by royalists, and where the supporters of the provisional government would be reluctant to go. The hotel was kept by one who had served as Kalakaua’s chamberlain, who was one of the principal persons in u syndicate that had cheated the Hawaiian government out of nearly $100,000, a transaction which Min- ister Merrill had officially reported to Sec- retary Bayard, and this man was the lead- ing member of a firm that sought to do its chief business with England, a thoroughly unprincipled opponent of the provisional government and of American predominance in the islands. He appointed as his active assistant in management of the hotel a highly educated Englishman of disreputa- ble character, who had written in the Ha- waiian British newspaper, under anonymous signature, articles abusive of the United States, and grossly falsifying our govern- This man had had a most unsavory record while re- siding in the United States, and has been a bitter assailant of American officials in American newspapers. In the paid service of the fallen queen, he has written what- ever she and her immoral favorite, Wilson, have asked him to write. ding at that hotel, Mr. r the constant espionage of the palace nturess. As a precautionary safeguard against thus shutting out the Araericans from ready access to Commissioner Blount, a wealthy and highly respectable wi lady of the American colony was ready to grant the use of her home to Mr. and M-cs. Blount, the commissioner to pay the same amount it would cost him to live at the royalist’s hotel. This private house was situated near the United States legation, in the quarter of the city where annexation- ists and royalists could have unobstructed a to the commissioner and where he could conveniently avail himself of the le- gation records.

Iasulted by Blount. At the request of three American gentie- men introduced to Mr. Blount, his manner of receiving their visit repelled’, and they asked me to state the reasons why it would be pleasant to him and better for all con- cerned not to go to the royalists’ hotel, but to take residence on neutral ground, where he would be master of his own surround- ings. As delicately as I could do so I Stated the offer of the committee of his country- men, pointing out to him that by accepting their proposition he would be near the ar- chives of the legation, which he could con- veniently use, and which I would be pleased at once to place at his disposal. Brusquely not to say insultingly, he refused the cour- teous and honestly intended offer of his countrymen, and at once placed himself amid royalists and ultra-British surround- ings, the British legation being near this royalists’ hotel, at which the British min- ister soon took residence and living. The effort in his report to cast imputation on the provisional governmen: end myself as to the offer of an American house to an American commissioner will b» estimated at its true value by the American public. Commissioner Blount’s manner toward me in the following week I would not allude to here were it not absolutely necessary to do so. It is well known to all who have knowl- edge of diplomatic rules and customs that when a new diplomatic agent arrives at the capital to whose government he is accred. |ited iis predecessor and the occupant of the legation should receive him courteously. proffer his services to his successor, inform A commit- born and | legation archives. This I did promptly. had he availed himself of the kind of his countrymen as to residence, h have occupied the room at the legation, containing the official records, which I was ready to offer him. He coldly repelled my kindly intended offers, did not allow me to | show to him the customary forms of intro- ducing him to the foreizn diplomatic ofii- cials and to the chief public men of Hono- julu. How much of his singular course in these regards was due to want of knowl- | edge, and how much to his already matured |purpose to make out a case against the United States minister, the naval com- mander and the provisional government the American public must judge. Ail insinuations and implications in Blount’s report that I was averse to his ac- cess to the legation records is a shame! j Perversion of ‘acts.

His manner, while allowing me to leave those important documents in his room, showed that he cared not to receive them, and the general drift of his report indicates that he did not even read them. Ignoring his inferiority of official rank, which, according to established rules the world over, was below that of minister resi- dent, between a consul general and charge d'affaires, with the utmost effort of will J outraged sensibilities; while affiletion at the recent sad drowning of a gifted and beloved daughter, I endured this insolent treatment, after thirteen years of service as United States minister, without a stain ever before attempted to be made on my official honor, and my fidelity to American prestige and to American interests; never during my sev- enty-three years of life having lifted my voice, my hand or my rifle against the flag of this American republic. The charges, implications and insinuations of Commis- sioner Blount against President Dole, Min- ister Thurston and the other chief men of the provisional government, are as baseless and unjust as those against myself and Capt. Wiltse, now sleeping in his honored grave. Reckless and Ex Parte Statements. But it is well for me to be no more spe- cific in meeting our opponent's recklessly | partisan and ex parte statements and argu- | ments. Under the date of April 21 he says he disapproved of a request of the provisional |government thet the American forces be landed for drill. I here affirm that the | Provisional government never made such a request. The provisional government fol- | lowed the exact course followed under the monarchy. Whenever the naval comman- | der desired to drill his men on shore, in ac- | cordance with naval regulations, he so signified to the United States minister, who made the request of the Hawaiian govern- ment, through the minister of foreign af- fairs. To my knowledge, at the period of which Blount speaks, the provisional gov- ernment preferred that the American sol- diers and marines should not land for drill, because of possibilities of ili-feeling and broil between men of other naval vessels | then in the harbor; but they granted these requests only as friendly and customary courtesy. What Blount says about the Japanese man-of-war is equally ex parte, absurd and | egotistic. For weeks after his arrival in Honolulu he had not even met or spoken with the Japanese minister. Touching certain incidents of suspicios and alarm in Honolulu regarding some of | the Japanese in the islands and the sudden | appearance there of a powerful Japanese iron-clad, in addition to a smaller vessel there in February and March prior to Mr, Blount’s arrival, I had taken the most Prompt precautionary steps, and fully in- formed both Secretaries Foster and Gres- ham, who were at the head of the Depart- ment of State in those months. How much solid foundation there really was for the excitement and anxiety in Hawali in re- gard to the Japanese It was impossible Post- tively to ascertain. But the circumstances were such that I would have been derelict as a minister of the United States not to have been vigilant in the discharge of my duty. Several weeks before the fall of the monarchy I had been authoritatively in- formed that the newly-arrived Japanese commissioner would press on the Hawaiian government the demand that the J. ese in the islands should have the right of suf- frage precisely as the American, European and native-born Hawatians enjoyed it under the constitution of 1887. Plans of Japanese Frustrated. Not long after the provisional govern- ment had been established, prior to Blount’s arrival, I received positive information both | from the Japanese minister and from the Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs, of the renewal of the demand of the right of suf- frage of the Japanese residents, and there was known to be much ferment, if not an organized movement among some of the | Japanese in the same direction. I had post tively learned that the Japanese commis- sioner had sent by the steamer Claudine, which left Honolulu January 19, a cable | dispatch to his government, requesting that | powerful iron-clad be immediately sent to | Honolulu, though it was known that a | Smaller Japanese warship was about to jarrive there from San Francisco. It cer- tainly was not strange that in the peculiar | circumstances of the Hawailan situation, there should be anxiety among the Ameri- cans and the members of the provisional government as to what might grow out of this agitation about Japanese suffrage and | certain Japanese ambitions as to the future control of the island. It was feared by the supporters of the provisional government that the fallen queen, the lottery ring and the paiace gang would not hesitate to promise to grant to the Japanese the right of suffrage in the islands. provided they would aid in restor- ing Liliuokalant to the throne. The sudden appearance ironclad in Hi of the Japanese onolulu harbor could not fail to create anxiety and misunderstanding.

These friendly interviews, in which the long existing jfriendship and mutual interests of our re- spective countries were fully gone over, gave pacifying results to the well-informed, though they did not at once put an end to public anxiety as to the suffrage agitation, and as to what use the fallen queen's sup- porters might make of it. Every step of my action was duly reported to the it jof State, prior to Blount having any knowl- jedge on the subject. His claim to having | Put an end to Hawaiian anxietv about ru- mored Japanese encroachments is as purely assumptive as his expression to me at my jhouse that to him the Harrison adminis- | tration was indebted for the strong demo- cratic support which was given it in the threatened war with Chile. and that Senator Morgan, now chairman of the Senate com- | mittee of foreign affairs. could not aid much jin the same direction, and is not a level- | headed man. Blount Directly Contradictea, In Blount’s report as given to the press, I find the following language: “The two leading members of the commit- tee, Messrs. Thurston an@ Smith, growing uneasy as to the safety of their persons, went to Minister Stevens to know if he Would protect them in the event of their arrest by the authorities, to which he gave his assent. It is enough to say that there is not « semblance of truth in this assertion of Blount, made by him without his ever hay- ing hinted it to me, or made anv inquiry of me on the subject.

Striking Evidence Prejudice. One of the most striking evidences of | Blount’s prejudice, ex parte and unwarrant- | ed statements ts the following: “A meeting of the committee of safety | Was held that night, January 16 at the | house of Henry Waterhouse. next door to Minister Stevens’ house, determined on the dethronement of the queen, and selected of- | ficers.”” The intent of the author of this language is obvious on its face.

This necessarily compelied me to hold conversations with the best in- formed persons of the reform party, the | queen's party, and with the Wilcox | native Hawaiian party, whose effort’ for months was to induce er compel the queen to break with her paramour, Marshal. Wilson. I was certainly as well informed of the views and plans of the royalists as I was of those of her appa nents, generally carefully keeping my prk vate opinions to myself. Official Documents. Regarding the expectations and hopes of the queen and her representatives In the | exciting days from January 14 to January |17, and the views and hopes of her oppe- nents, the following official Gocuments speak for themselves: “The assurance conveyed by a royal pro clamation by myself and ministers yes~ terday having been received by my native | subjects, and by them ratified at @ mass | meeting, was received in a different spirit |by the meeting representing the foreign | population and interests in my kingdom.
