As a rule the English are royalists, but many favor the provisional government and annexation. The admiral complains of our lack of naval strength and of the taking away of the Adams, leav- ing the flagship unsupporied. He says we should have a force equal to any two of the foreign forces combined, while we are equaled by the English and excelled by the Japanese. Pending the arrival of the Charleston he recommends the send- ing of the Monterey to Honolulu and closes by saying that if the Marion touches there on her way to San Francisco, he shall detain her until after the elections, ‘and longer if deemed advisable. As to Island. In his next letter, of date April 28, the admiral tells of the notice served by the British minister (Wodehouse) upon Presi- dent Dole of the intention of his govern- ment to use Ne *s Island as a cable sta- tion and his request that nothing be said about it to the French or to any one, The president replied that he felt bound to in- form the United States, in view of the close relations with that government. There is little of interest in the next three letters beyond e statement that the hopes of the royalists appear to be di- minishing, but on May 30 the admiral tells of the celebrated race for the pos- jon of Necker’s Island between the 3ritsh warship Champion and the small teamer, chartered by the Hawaiian gov- ernment. On June 21 the admiral send a preliminary report upon Pearl harboi which has already been published in sub- stance, which, he says, he has caused to be surveyed because of the interest he has long held in the subject and in view of its great value to the United States. On June 23 Admiral Walker notes the receipt of the formal announcement of the action of our Senate toward Hawaii. He says: “This definite announcement of policy expressed in terms so clear and unmistakable has strengthened the hands of the existing government ard will undoubtedly assist in the solution of certain difficult ques- tions which attend the adoption of a con- stitution and the establishment of a per- manent form of government. The royalists are correspondingly depressed and dis- couraged. In my opinion the peace is not in danger of being disturbed at present.” The Republic Firmly Established. Many letters tell of the various formali- ties attending the organization of the re- public of Hawaii in great detail, and in one of these, dated July 12, telling of the proclamation of the republic, it is said: “I hear of no objection being made to these provistons (relative to the right of suf- frage) by foreign representatives, and all apprehension of trouble with the Japanese has subsided.” Further on the admiral says that the republic has been firmly established; that there is no probability whatever of a counter-revolution; if Lill- uokalani surrender her claim for a pension matters would be at once setiled. He con- siders that there is no longer any necessity for the presence of a flag officer in Hawaii, but that a ship should be kept there and that Ziawaii may be regarded as having reverted to its former status—a port of this station especially important because of its American interests and affiliation: The last letter from Admiral Walker is unquestionably the mest interesting of the entire correspondence. It is dated at Hon- olulu, August 17, just prior to his depar- ture for the United States in accordance with the peremptory order from the Se: retary set out in the telegrams with which the correspondence begins. It reads as follows: His Last Letter. . I acknowledged to the department, per steamer Arawa, which sailed from Honolulu on the 4th instant for Vancouver, B. C., the receipts of its telegraphic orders per steamer Monowai, which arrived at Honolulu on the 2d instant, to proceed with the ‘ship to Mare Island. “2 1 gave orders to coal the ship and fixed the Sth as the day of sailing. The commanding officer of H.M.S. Cham- pion had announced the receipt of orders to take certain deep sea soundings in the neighborhood of the Hawaiian Islands, to ermining the feasibility of a cable as the day of his departure. This work was to occupy the Champion nearly three weeks, before the expiration of which time her relief, the Hyacinth, was expected to arrive at Hono- lulu. “3. I felt that the departure of both the Philadelphia and the Champion (the only men-of-war at Honolulu) would be, under existing political conditions, not fa- vorable to order and security in the islands. It would leave both parties entirely free and dependent upon their own resources, without any support, nominal or actual, from an outside source. . In my opinion, the republic has ample strength to maintain itself and to preserve peace, and would suppress riot or counter-revolution with a firm hand, but as long as foreign vessels lay in the harbor of Honolulu, ready at a moment's notice, in the event of disturbance, to land forces to secure the safety of life and property; it was open to the enemies of the govern- ment to say that tranquility was main- tained only by the presence of those ships. 1 found leading members of the govern- ment and others strongly of this opinion, and expressing satisfaction with the pros- pect of being left for a time entirely alone. “5. But as svon as it was known that the Philadelphia was to leave on the Sth, a movement was set on foot among the Eng- lish residents to retain the Champion; and the British minister, Major Wodehouse, willingly consented to order her to remain in port. “6. This change of plan, and the cir- cumstances under which it was made, put the situation in a new and somewhat serious light, to thoroughly appreciate which it is necessary to understand the attitude and ambitions of Major Wode- house. English Against American Influence. “7 He hed been at Honolulu nearly thirty years, and his constant struggle has been to set English influence against American influence, and make it predom- inate, and as an essential part of this policy to maintain the monarchy. The seccessful revolution and the establishment of a republic during the last year of his diplomatic service, upon the eve of his retiremert, was an evidence of failure which made him bitter and hostile. Ai- chough holding the position of British min- ister and transacting diplomatic business with the government defacto, he had been a pronounced and partisan royalist. It is rrently believed that he had been in con- t secret communication with Liliuo- kalani, and entirely in the confidence of the royalist leaders, and he had certainly lost no opportunity to embarrass the pres- ent government, disregarding the cour- tesies and amenities due from one in his position. But for his impending retire- ment, matters would have probably come, some time ago, to an issue which would have resulted in his recall or dismissal. “8. The commanding officer of the Champion had the same interests and views, and was quite ready to support his minister. “9, These unusnat circumstances _ pre- sented the situation in the following light The chances of any disturbance taking place through the action of the royalis s! after the departure of the were considerably incr 1 by the sig nificant detention of the Champion. Shouk any such disturbance take place I believed the British minister would seize upon any pretext. however slight, to land the Cham- pion’s ferce, and that, once on shore, their influence would be to encourage the royal- ists. and to increase or prolong the diffi culty. Should such a ut in the restoration of the mona nglish in- fluence would henceforth control with Li- iuoxalani. “10. There is another con: deration which bears upon this point. ‘The ri very much in the nabit of retaining foothold once obtained; and there 1s much en the Britis force be to pre- etw y on ry Pacific colonies ‘to soil: Should an Engiish mili established on shore at Honolulu serve order, there might not ry found the opportune moment for drawal. Whatever might be the w ness of the home government to yie the claims of the United States, strong co- lonial pressure would be brought upon it to oppose these claims. It should not be forgotten in this connection that Pearl harbor offers, strategetically and other- wise, the firest site for a naval and coal- ing station to be found in the whole Pacific. Why He Delayed His Departure. “11. Although I had full cenfidence in the republic's ability to preserve order, and regarded the chance of an uprising of the royalists, even under the favorable cir- Philadelphia | cumstances mentioned above, as very re- mote, I did not feel that even such a re- mote chance should be taken, and I de- cided to postpone the Philadelphia's de- parture at least until the arrival of the Australia’s mail on the 11th instant. Be- fore reaching this conclusion, I ccnsulted with the United States minister, whose views coincided entirely with my own, ard I was further confirmed in my opinion by the receipt of a petition to keep the Phila- delphia at Honolulu, signed by several prominent merchants and business men, representing large American moneyed in- terests. This petition is inclosed. “12. Before the arrival of the Australia Maj. Wodehouse had been relieved by Capt. A. G. S. Hawes, who came in the steamer Arawa from his late post at Tahiti, and who has the title of British commissioner and consul general. The advent of a new man, who had no other policy than the policy of his government, and was not involved in Iccal politics,changed the situa- tion again, and feeling that the risk in- volved was then considerably diminished I left Honolulu on the 12th. “13. It is a fact which should not be lost sight of, that English influence is always opposed to American influence in the Ha- waiian Islands. It is colonial and local in its character, influenced largely,if not prin- cipally, by trade jealousies, but it is a very potent factor, and is strong enough to eventually influence the attitude of the British diplomatic representative, and to have its effect upon British naval >fficers who remain there for any length of time. ‘The existence of this antagonism and of its influence should always be taken into account. Their expression was noticeable during the last few days of my stay at Honoluln, especially before Maj. Wode- house ceased to be minister. The English and royalists were equally elated at the impending departure of the Philadelphia, leaving the Champion in port, while the supporters of the government regarded the situation with regres Many women, espe- cially, were emphatic in their apprehen- sion, fearing a revival of former excite- ments and anxieties. An American Ship Should Be at Hono- lala. “14. When I left Honolulu the Champion was to remain until the arrival of the Hy- acinth, which plan keeps an English ship continually at that port. Under these cir- cumstances, an American ship should also be kept there all the time. While I would not hesitate In the least to leave the islands entirely alone, I deem it unsafe to leave them under British protection. It jeopardizes cur influence there and might lead to awkward complications. The posi- tion of the United States, as expressed by the late Senate resolution, is sufficiently defined, and in its relation to other powers is clearly understood by both natives and foreigners in Hawaii; but that position in- volves responsibilities, as well as rights; and if we are not at hand to perform the duties of our virtual protectorate no re- proach can attach to another power which, in the event of a disturbance, steps in and takes our place. It would have a strong argument in its favor; and that British sentiment in tne Pacific would eagerly em- brace such an opportunity and would make the most of iis consequences I have little doubt. “15 Had the department's orders given me discretion in the matter, I should have left the Philadelphia at Honolulu and re- turned to San Francisco, with my staff, by mail steamer, failing the arrival of the Charleston by the I8th; but as they were entirely unqualified, I had no choice but to obey them at (ae earliest moment that such a course was justified by paramount public interests. I trust that another ship will be sent to Honolulu at the earliest practicable momen “My Lady Primrose. A fairy story, by Mary E.

Dr. Parkhurst has now determined on a vigorous investigation of the New York tenement houses, and in the near future the world at large may hear some startling facts regarding these metropolitan bee- hives of humanity. The doctor declared himself at a meeting Monday night of the twenty-ninth assembly district council of the City Vigilance League in the New York Congregational Church. Dr. Parkhurst, as president of the league, announced that the question of who owns the tenement houses would be sezrched into by the league. He said it would be a good thing to have slabs, containing on their surface the ow: er’s name, placed over the door of every tenement ‘house. It would create a row, but force regeneration of these establish- ments Dr. Parkhurst said that since the slabs 1 not be had, the City Vigilance League going to find out the name of the own- er of every piece of property in New York coming before the organization for con- sideration, ‘Che plan is under considera- tion and would have been done years «go if there had been men enough. The league was dete:mired to cover all Manhattan Island with men to inspect tenements. “One of Gov. Flowers few good acts,” said Dr, Parkhurst, “was the appointment of a commission to investigate the tene- ment houses of this city, and these gentle- men, under the leadership of Mr. Gilder, have brought to light facts we were hardly suspicious of. I very much regret that facts heve come out reftecting seriously upon one of our churches, but Ist us not be too harsh in our judgment’ of Trinity Cor- poration, because very likely there are ot er churches In the same boat with many secular izations of repute. That sort of work is what our enemies call ‘smell- ing.’ But it is good work and there was but one way to accomplish it.

Value of the Patent Involved Esti- mated™at $5,000,000. The Berliner telephone case, decided against the Bell Company in Boston, as telegraphed to yesterday's Star, has been in the courts for ;g mumber of years, and is already familiar to the public. The patents known as the Berliner patents were issued to the telephone :company, but never put into use by them, on account, they claimed, of the expense of making changes in the telephone system, while other companies were prevented from using the system. The tirst ground of the bill brought by the complainants in this suit is that the patent is void, qs being beyond the power of the commissioners to issue. On this point the decision of Judge Carpenter de- clares “it appeams that one of the functions f the device shown in the patents of 1880; namely, the function of transacting articu- late speech, is identical with the sole object er functicn of the device covered by the patent of 18¥1, and that the device for ef- fecting the transmission of sound is iden- ticai In both patents.” The value of the patent involved is said to be $5,000,000. The government's case against telephone contained two counts, judge sustained the government in both. ‘The first count was in effect that the issu ance of the patent to Berliner was unneces- sarily delayed, and the second count was, in substance, that a former patent issued to Berliner covered substantially the same claims as made in the patent issued in 1S91. The case was argued June 14, 15, 16, 1s, 19 and 20 before Judge Carpenter. The government's special counsel were Causien Brown of Boston and Robert S. Taylor of Fort Wayne, Ind. The telephone com- pany’s counsel were Chauncey Smith, J. J. Storrow, 8. P. Fish and C. H. Swan. The costs in’ the case are enormous, the record alone taking two large printed volumes and cost over $3,000, By the court's decree the costs are to fall on the telephone com- pany. the Bell and the tee THE PRESIDENT BENEFITED. Stay in Muddy Bay das Done Him Good. President Cleveland is aboard the buoy tender Wisteria, lying in Muddy bay, ten miles from Georgetown, S. C., off the shore of Frendfield plantation, the vast marsh lands of which are leased to the Annandale Hunting Club, a guest of which the Presi- dent is. No one is allowed on board the Wisteria except those officially connected with the vessel. The President accepted the tender of a reception to be held on Saturday next in the historic hall of the Winyah indigo So- ciety, in which Washington held a yvecep- tion in 1792, since which time no President has visited Georgetown. A gentleman who carried down the Presi- dent’s mail reports that the President says he is enjoying himself hugely and feels much benefited already by his trip. When he accepted the tender of the re- ception he requested that it should be short, as his lame foot made it painful for him to stand long. He is suffering from rheumatic gout. The President's bag yesterday was twen- ty-nine ducks; Monday's was six of the finest specimens. Mr. Cleveland has ordered that only let- ters and telegrams be sent to the Wisteria. He says he dces not wish to see a news- paper while he is there. He will leave for Washington Saturday about 4 o'clock. oo A Christmas Venture.

A Lively Time at Yesterday's Session at Denve At the convention of the American Fed- eration of Labor’ yesterday at Denver the committee on resolutions reported favor- ably cn a resolution from the Car Makers’ Union, opposing compulsory arbitration, and it was concurred in without discussion. When a resolution of Mr, Reisman of the Bakers’ Union regarding the trouble be- tween his organization and the Central Labor Federation of New York was re- ported, Morgan injected some €austic personalities, to which President Gompers and others responded, John F. O'Sullivan of Bost »n, for example, referrihg to Mr. Morgan as a “contemptible whelp,” and protesting against what Mr. O'Sullivan called Mr. Morgan's “scurilous attacks upon members of the convention.” “That comes from cultured Boston,” was the response of Mr, Morgan, who is from Chicago. After further heated discussion, the reso- lution was adopted. Chairman Hysell of the special commit- tee on the Debs decision made its report, which was unanimously agreed to. ‘The report demands the immediate enact- ent of a law setting a limit beyond which equity courts” may not go, and crders financial aid in securing legal counsel and advice looking to appealing of the cases to the Supreme Court of the United States, His Short where the question of rights of the courts* to issue what is known as “blanket in- junctions” may be finally tested. soe Jolly Fat Men, A meeting of the Jolly Fat Men's Club was held last evening at the club house, 19 6th street, and there was an unusually large attendance of members.

LATE SPORTING NEWS PLAYED OFF THE TIE. Carroll Institute Bowlers Defeat the Columbia Athletics. The bowling contest last night at the Columbia Athletic Club between the team of Carroll Institute and the Columbias was exciting from stact to finish. In every game the team scores were good, and especially so in the last one, and were won or lost by narrow margins. In the last game the great bowling of Capt. Albert Schulteis, in which he made the high score of 210 pins, the highest yet made in the tournament, won the game for his own team by only six pins. A number of the players of both teams were quite erratic at times, but on the whole the team scores are first-class. The bowling of last night was great proof of the firm quality and complete superiority of the C. A. C. alleys. The Columbias will not participate in another contest until January 2, when the Buena Vistas will be the guests of the winged-arrow bowlers. Scores in detail: First Game. CAG Scores. C.

Prepared only by PERRY DAVIS & SON, Providence, R. 1. ‘At the Root Of Your Lif millions of microbes are at work. The doctor tells you you have Cancer, oF the Grip, or Rheumatism, or Dyspepsia. ‘The doctor doesn't rnow. ‘These are merely varied symptoms of the same trouble, What is really the matter with you is Microbes—iittle mfcroscople sni- mals that seem to come from nothing, and multiply like lghtning. Wherever there is fermentation . there are microbes, Whenever there is disease there ts fermen- tation. Kill the microbes—atop the fer mentation—cure the “disease.” ‘That's the only sure way. Don't lop off the ieaves— don't treat symptoms. Go to the root of the matter—kill the microbes, When every doctor on earth bas failed you can be cured by Wm. Radam’s Microbe Killer.

BROOKLYN, N. ¥., January 19, 1894, Gentlemen—In August,1392, I commenced treatment with a specialist for Cancer of the Breast, and on the 24th of May, 1803, I underwent a severe operation in the Seney Hospital, Brooklyn, Laving the entire breast and glands removed; also the glands of the arm, leaving a running wound that would not beal, and continu- ally growing worse. In July I commenced using your A{- CROBE KILLER, and after taking several gallons the wounds entirely healed; I re- gained the use of my arm, which I had Jost, and bave ever since been in perfect health, which, 1 feel convinced, was only caused by your MICROBE KILLER.

Gentlemen-I have had a Cbronte Ulcer or Sore Leg for 37 years, and have tried some of the best doctors, without any material benefit. After taking 19 bottles of RADAM’S MICROBE KILLER I am about cured, and have gained 36 pounds.
