Prominent Persons Said to Be In- terested in Sappressing It—Admiral ‘Walker's Report. . << Some interesting surprises are said to be in store for the administration when the diary of Queen Lil of Hawaii shall be made public: At present that diary is in the custody of the supreme court of Ha- wall, and it has been used in the trial of Queen Lil for treason. Letters which have recently been received here from persons who have read the entire diary say that it is the most extraordinary volume, and that it will bring confusion to many per- sons if it shall ever be made public. There is reason to believe that the late British minister (Wodehouse) and the British gov- ernment Will be very greatly relieved If that diary shall never be published. It will be remembered that one of the passages in the remarkable report of Ad- miral Walker to this gcvernment, when he was sent on a special mission to the Ha- wailan Islands, was devoted to the con- duct of the British minister (Wodehouse). Admiral Walker charged that the British minister (Wodehouse) wes constantly in communication with the queen, and that he was working not only in the interests of the queen,but against the United States. This communication of Admiral Walker was confidential, He did not make it pub- ie. It was not deemed, however, “incom- patible with the public interests” by the tion to send this statement of ‘Admiral ‘Walker to Congress. It has been said since, however, that the administration regretted having done that, as the publication of Admiral Walker’s re- port-had given great offense to ex-Minister ‘Wodehouse and to some of the officials of the British foreign office. Indeed, there has been some noisy talk that Great Brit- ain would demand that the United States should make an apolcgy for the report of Admiral Walker, in which he reflects upon the intrigues of British Minister Wode- house with Queen Lil The fact is not to be overlooked, how- ever, that this demand for an apology on account of Admiral Walker’s report has never been received from the British gov- ernment. And now it can be stated that the diary of Queen Lil contains the de- tailed reports of the interviews with her, vountarily sought, by Minister Wodehouse on the part of Great Britain, and also the exact statements which the British minis- ter made to her. This diary discloses, in short, the intrigues of the British minister, who was allied by marriage to this Kanaka house, and clearly demonstrates the fact that the British minister was endeavoring to overthrow the republic, and was co- operating to carry out the policy of Pres- ident Cleveland to restore to her throne this deposed Kanaka queen. The diary of Queen Lil, it 1s alleged, confirms in every particular the private official reports of Admiral Walker, in which he charged that the British minister and the British gov- ernment were conspiring to overthrow the Ha republic and to restore the queen. The diary of Queen Lil discloses the fact that Admiral Walker knew what was got on in the Hawalian and that the United States government, so far as it relied for its information upon its diplomatic and consular representatives, know nothing about it. The probability is that the full text of this exe sometime be made public. It will not be published at present, but when it shall be made public it will, it ts asserted, bring confusion to some of the persons prominent in the Cleveland ad- ministration, and to a great many inti- mately connected with the British govern- ment. + —_____ GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. The Effort to Pass the Mahone Site Bill Abandoned. ‘The question which Representative En- glish asked Mr. Abbott in the House yes- terday afternoon, during the discussion of the bill to purchase the Mahone site for the government printing office, represented pretty well the feeling existing In the House on that matter. “There have been some ugly rumors go- ing around,” said Mr. English, “and I ask the gentleman for some information which perhaps he can afford me. I want to ask him if he thinks if this House were to ap- prepriate from $20,000 to $25,000 to defray certain notes made by William Mahone to Senators whether the Senate would look with a less favorable eye on the purchase of the Mahone site? “That is a question that I would not un- dertake to answer,” said Mr. Abbott. “T would not cast any reflection upon any gentleman belonging to the other end of the Capitol; and I would not undertake to answer the gentleman's question.” In the course of the debate Mr. Hep- burn of Iowa asked the authority for the statement which had frequently been made that the Senate would insist upon the Ma- hone site or no site at all. Mr. MilNken of Maine answered the question as follows: “I desire to say that that proposition was put to members of the committee on pub- lie buildings and grounds of the House, and that Mr. Morrill and Mr. Vest, who are on the committee on public buildings and grounds of the Senate, and opposed to the Mahone site, told me that that propost- tion was made to them.” Mr. Swanson of Virginia made an earn- est speech in favor of repairing the pres- ent "printing office. Several other mem- bers advocated their ideas of solving the question, and then Mr. Bretz of Indiana and others indicating their intention to filibuster against the bill Mr. Bankhead de- a = to conse = as of the House In fruitless attemp' io business, so withdrew the bill. ae a A Printing Office Additon. The Senate yesterday afternoon agreed to an amendment to the sundry civil ap- propriation bill providing $120,000 for an addition to the government printing office. It is proposed $+ utliize the addition to distritute the weight on the H street wing. ————— A Filthy Pest House. George T. Gaden, the mayor's agent, has been investigating the pest house in San Francisco, and says the institution is filthy and the inmates left in squalor.and wretchedness. “I was prepared, from what I had heard, .to find things in pretty bad shape, but the actual situation is almost beyond belief. The place is one mass of dirt, filth and vermin, and it is a wonder that the inmates do not die of exposure to the elements or foul odors of the house before being carried off by the dread dis- ease from which they suffer.” ‘Won by Prohibitionists, The friends of prohibition scored a tri- umph in the New Hampshire house of rep- resentatives by killing the Brown license bill and adopting adverse reports on bills repealing the moity and ni ce clauses of the present law.

Dangerous Lamp. Jesse Smith, corner of Prospect and Grant streets, Georgetown, writes to the Commissioners requesting that the gas lamp located on that corner be removed. In his letter to the Commissioners today he says that the lamp exploded on Monday =. and, being but three feet from the building, greatly endangered his property.

Richardson to express their solicitude for the passage this session of the Senate bill relative to the removal of snow and ice from the sidewalks in the District, which has passed the Senate and is now before the Hause committee of the whole. They fear that the indisposition of Mr. Heard, the chairman, may interfere with his op- portunity to secure action upon the bill. Favorable Action Recommended. The Commissioners have recommended action on the House bill to provide for the incorporation and regulation of medical colleges in the District of Columbia.
