DOWN ON ANARCHISM. 1 jepsational Scene in the French Chamber of Deputies. 1618 19th | There was quite a noisy scene at the opening of the French chamber of deputies yesterday, and the members, in an unmis- takable way, expressed their repudiation of anarchist ideas. Dr. Marie Edouard Vaillant, a socialist, mounted the tribune to speak to a motion made by himself to rectify the minutes of the house in regard to the recent discussion of the red flag incident that occurred on Sunday iast in Ivry cemetery, where Au- guste Vaillant is buried, when a number of anarchists and socialists made a demon- stration. . Vaillant spoke in a low tone, and the part of his speech that was heard was » red flag is the socialist flag.”” cluding that the speaker was about to 1 a laudation of the commune, like y M. Thivrier, the who was suspended rity of the members Enough,” their cries | drowning the voice of Dr. Vaillant. ‘tf. Dupuy, the president of the chamber, ordered Dr. Vaillant to descend from the rostrum, but the latter paid no attention to him. Mf Danny thereupon pcinted to the steps leading from the tribune to the floor of the house, and in energetic tones said: “De- scend, Monsieur Vaillant, descend; the : uttered shall not be placed enter ‘that recently made on the minutes of the chamber.” tus craer to M. Vaillant was greeted with japplause. The latter evidently abash |@i, and at once descended from the tri- bune. As he was going down the steps M.

The original bill provided that a council should be established in any parish having 200 or more inhabitants. Mr. Fowler's motion was carried by a vote of 260 to 191.

EVASION AND DOUBLE DEALING He Hopes That It Was Mutual Misapprehension. A STRONG PRESENTATION The letter of President Dole to Minister Willis, which was brought to San Francisco yesterday from Honolulu, is the one the lat- ter received at the time he sent to the State Department the correspondence bear- ing date of January 12, and which he said he had not had time to transcribe. It contains the specifications asked for by Mr. Willis to sustain the assertions made by President Dole in his letter of December 27, charac- terized by President Cleveland as “most extraordinary.” After rehearing the re- quests made by Minister Willis, Mr. Dole say: No Charges Against the President. “I will comply with your request. Before doing so, however, I desire to say, in reply to your communication of the Ist instant, that I have made no ‘charges’ against the President of the United States or its rep- resentatives. On the contrary, in order that there might be no misappreheasion concerning the matter, I specifically stated in my communication to you of the 27th ultimo that ‘I do not claim or intimate that this unfortunate situation has been in- tentionally created by you or by the govern- ment which you represent.’ I still disclaim any intention of charging you or your gov- ernment with intent to produce the re- sults and conditions described in my com- munication of December 27. “The object of my communication to you was to formally bring to your attention certain facts and conditions existing in this country; what, in my opinion, were the causes of the same, and to obtain from you such information and assurances es would tend to allay the prevailing ex- citement and apprehension. “Concerning your statement, above re- ferred to, that my communication of the 27th of December contains statements which you are fully prepared to show are not war- ranted by the facts, I would say that it would give me great pleasure to become convinced that the alleged conditions and facts referred to by me did not in. truth exist. “The matters hereinafter stated consti- tute, in part, the basis for mf belief in .he existence of the conditions referred to and the cause producing the same; but I shall tending to remove from my mind the belief that tney or-any of them did eaist; und assure you that upon becoming convinced toat 1 am under misappreneusion concera- twuS suNcerug the same will be imme- diately withdrawn, “Concerning your statement that my letter of December 20 contains ‘no drawal or modincation of the statements complained of,” you will pardon me if I say that I was not aware that any com- plaint had been made concerning any state- ment made by me, your repiy having been primarily directed to eliciting more specitic information concerning certain points. Referring to the suggestion contained in your note of the 2¥th, and your interview w.ta Mr. Damon, that I withdraw my com- munication of December 27, I would say that to do so would have been in the nature | of an admission that the statements therein contained were incorrect, which, unfortun- ately, in the absence of the information which you say you are prepared to present, and with certain other evidence before me, it was impossible for me to do. Written in No Untriendly Spirit. Allow me to assure you that it is with deep gratification that I receive your assur- | ance thyt your communication to me of the | 28th of December was prompted by no |improper motive or unfriendly spirit, but was intended to continue the amicable re- lations heretofore existing, and to further assure you that this and all other communi- cations from this government are written in the same spirit, and 1 trust that no statement presenting the claims and views of this government concerning any matier of law or fact, may, by reason of its'direct- |ness and distinctness, be ¢ nstrued as other- bass ise than of a similar character. | Phe speciseamous. | In compliance with your request for cer- tain specifications concerning my letter of December 27 I reply thereto as follows: First. You inquire as to the meaning of the word “attitude” as used in my letter. I reply that the word was used by me in | its orumaniy accepted sense, meaning the | bearing, the posture, as indicating purpose, ‘of those referred to. | ; You further say: | “Wil you point out where and when and how tae representative of the United States | | assumed any attitude toward the supporters o. cue proyasicnal government, or that gov- ernment itself, other tnan one essenually and designediy expressive of peace?" In repiy 1 would say that the attitude of a person is to be ascertained only by in- ferences drawn from the known words and acts of such person, and the conditions and circumstances under which they take place. Some of the words and actions of the | United States and its representatives in this connection, and the conditions and cir- jecumstances attepdant thereupon, from which its intentions and attitude toward the provisional government must be inferred, are as follows ° 1. A treaty of annexation had been nego- tiated between the provisional government and the United States government and pre- sented to the Senate for ratification. This |treaty was withdrawn by President Cleve- | jend immediately upon his entering office | without prior notice to this government or its representatives of his intention so to do, or of his reasons for such action. 2. Immediately leppointed Hon. James H. Blount a special j commissioner to Hawaii to investigate the j condition of affairs at Hawaii. The knowledge of such appointment wats withheld from the representatives of thi: government at Washington. Tne press having announced the appointment, the Ha- ian representatives applied te the State Department for information concerning the same. The Secretary of State refused to state the objects of the mission or even to admit that a commissioner hz 1 been ap- pointed. 3. On the 19th of June, 1893, Mr. Thurs- Hawaiian minister at Washington, ad. dressed a communication to Mr. Gresham, Secretary of State. represents the bad effect on the prosperity of Hawail of the prolonged uncertainty as to what the decision of the United States was to be on the proposition of Hawai for ann tion. He points out the importance to Hawaiian government of knowing what the intention of the United States is before it is made public in order to take steps to preserve order and protect the peo- ple. He asks, therefore, for an early de- cision by the’ United States. President Dole concludes: No reply has jever been made to such communication. 4. Upon the arrival of Mr. Blount in this country he did not communicate nor in any manner intimate to the Hawaiian govern- | ment that his investigations were to be di- | rected toward the right of existence of the government to whom he was accredited. All of his investigations and examinations were private and such persons only were examined as he chose to call. 5, An examination of his report, since published, shows that there are statements That he has examined only two of the safety; one of the original four members of the executive council of the provisional government; three of the original fourteen members of the advisory council; two of the eight speakers who addressed the mass meeting called by the committee of safety on the day prior to the establishment of the provisional government, and but one of the seventeen line officers in command of the forces of the provisional government, and none of the five commissioners sent to Washington, although all of such men omit- ted to be examined were eye witnesses and active participants in the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the pro- visional government, and are men of char- acter and standing in the community, while a number of those examined on the royalist side are irresponsible characters. 6. Upon the 15th day of May, 1893, Blovnt, without first communicating to this government what his instructions were, or his intention so to do, published his official instructions in a Honolulu newspaper in the form of an ad “To the people of the Hawaiian Islands,” and concluded with the following words: “While I shall refrain from interference between conflicting forces of whatever na- tionality, for supremacy, I will protect American citizens not participating in such conflict.” 7. Although Mr. Blount’s report is official in character, vitally affects this government and is distinctly hostile to it in tone and conclusions, no request to this government for explanation of the charges therein made was received, nor opportunity to reply there- to, or notice of its contents given prior to its publication. The first information con- cerning the contents of such report was ob- tained by this government through pub- lished extracts in the American papers, dated November 20 last, no official copy thereof being furnished the Hawaiian min- ister at Washington until November 25, and none received by this government at Hon- Mr. thirteen members of the committee of | eight field and staff officers, and none of the { delegation of the American League, in which the following words are stated to | have been used by you: here as did Mr. Blount. I come here as I am not aware that you have ever disa- vowed the correctness of this report. On November 29 last, having that day, for the first_ time, received 1 through the Hawaiian minister at Wash- ington, of the contents of Mr. Gresham's letter to the President, and of his state- ments concerning the same, and fusal to state whether it was the intention of your government to carry out its policy by force, I called upon you, in company with the attorney general, stated to you the ——- of my information and asked you what the intentions of your govern- ment were in relation to Mr. Gresham's recommendations. You replied that By were not at liberty to tell us, but ao 80 as soon as you could. 15. Immediately thereafter, I a@@ressed @ communication to you revoking the gen- | eral permission theretofore granted to United States forces to land for drill, a further communication formally | to you the information received by me con- Ssking' you the following questica: asking you the following qi 5 “I desire to inquire of you whether the s Mr. Gresham.” On December 2, you replied to such letter, | stating that: | “As to the letter of Mr. Gresham, I have | the honor to call your attention to the fact, olulu until December 22 last, such copies | a8 shown by you, that it is a communica- having been furnished only after several ap-| tion from a member of the cabinet to the plications therefor at the State Department. | President of the United States, and being 8.
