This disposes of the prevalent rumors that Blount's report is to be made public. Story of Mr, Armstron N. A, Armstrong, at one time attorney geucral of the Hawaiian islands, talks inter- estingly of the siuation in the Hawaiian nds. He said: *It scemed evident to much as ten years ago that it was not ible to maintain the existing form of government. Then the white people were loyal to the monarchy beyond what the na- tives were. As amatter of fact the natives were never in sympatly with the constitu- tional government that succeeded the rule of superstition and blood right of tn2 old chiefs. The white people sustained it to maintain the respect for the forms of law and for the sake of a working form of gov- ernment. If atany time the white people’s support had been withdrawn, it would have crumbled to pieces. “In 1881 Kalakaua invited me to come to Honolulu and my brother, cneral Arm- strong of the Hampton Indian institute, urged me to go, thinking I might do good.” Honolulu had been the home of Mr. Arm- strong’s boyhood und ms widowed wmother lived there at that time. “Lwent,” he continued, “‘after been a period of disorder and change in the government. I was made attorney general and soon afterwards Kulakaua started around the worid. I accompanied him. Lilivokalani was appointed regent in the king's absence. ‘I'he late H. A. H.

Full statements, made up by monarchists, were%ent to Blount, preparcd with care, often by the aid of the skillful royalist vyers, who added or kept back facts so as to make the mosy plausible snowing of their ciaims. On the other hand, the provisional government adherents waited until they ere called for before making statements and in most instances they were not called for. “Our Honolulu_informants further say that when all the facts about the devosition of the quecn and the establishment of the provisional governmeat shall be made known, a torrent of ind: fon will set in, overwhelming Cieve attempt to de- stroy the existing government of Hawail and to restore the queen, who was deposed because tho inteltizence and the property of the country could not trust themselves to her misguided, veckless government.

Senator Peffer Takes Esception to 1ts Atul. tudo to Hawali, WasmiNgtos, Nov. 17.—Senator Peffor takes a decided stand against the present position of the United States government toward Hawaii. “In the first place the no- tice which our governmeny was given of the change of government in the islands was a sufficient showinz that a successful revolu- tion had been effected. That is far back as it is necessary or wise for the administra- tion to go in tracing the history of the nge. There is nothing to show that the citizens of the United States were in any forcible way instrumental in bringing about the change. Assuming this to be true it is the business of the United States to treat the situation as it was found to exist when the negotintions were begun by the pro- visional government and the proper thing to do now is to acknowledge the existing gov- ornment as the right government of the islands, to treat with its oflicials in insisting on such privileges as we have enjoyed in the harbors, and to recommend that the deposed queen be properly caved for during her life- time.” Mr. Petter does not concur in the proposi- tion Lo make the Hawaiian islands a part of the United States, but thinks we can obtain all the maritime advantages we need by treating with the present government upon the condition that if this government first protect the independence of the present government in the islunds they will protect the independence of the islunds in the future. “I do not believe that any considerable portion of the peovle of the United States would favor the deposition of the present government and the restoration of the monarchy, When the revolution of a few yeurs ago 1 announced there was no hesit our govern- ment or any other government in giving an oarly recognition of the change. Had our then existing admmistration undertaken to sot aside the new government and to rein state the old it would have been disgraced.

Every one expects important news by wire upon the a 10f the steamer from Honolulu. The president has made arrangements for a special telezraphic ser and he will be advised of news from Hawaii within ten minutes of the arrival of his special agent at tho telegraph office in San Francisco, Mr. Thurston taken even greater pains to securo ady He has arranged for the carlicst news from the fslands through one of the San Francisco papers, wnich ente prising journal charterca a stoamer to pro- ceed halt way to Hawaii to meet the incom- ing vessel.

In the meantime the utmost anxicty is felt in ofiicial circles ler and tne general public seems to bo cqually interested. The newspaver ofiices a be- sieged by crowds anxious to hear the latest news, every inquirer being apparently more deeply interested than he usually is in the vesult of an election. Not Likely to Favor the Fi The sundr approvriation act of gust 5, 1802, contained a clause appropriat- 1 £1,000 for the purpose of enabling the fish_commissioner to inquire into the advis- ability of establishing fish hatehing sta- tions 1n Towa, Nebraska and South Dakota. Prof. B. F. Evermann has made careful in- in the three statesnamed and has 1 ly looked over the sites proposcd inall three. He is at present engaged in preparing his report, which will be sub- mitted to congress by the fish commissioner. .Congress has not yot male an appropriation for a station in cither of the threc states, and whether or not the appropriation will be forthcoming depends altogetner upon the report of Prof, Evermann and the recom- mendations of the commissione: It is scarcely likely that congress will authorize the three stations, and 1t is even doubtful if the commissioner will favor the idea of u northwestern station for all these statos. It is apparent from conversations with off- cials of the commission that the policy of C nel MebDonald is not multiply stations in the interior, and consequently it is highly improbable that he will recommend a hatchery for either Nebraska, lowa or South Dakota. Railnbow Chasers Consulted, Tn spite of the fact that Don M. Dickinson has been discredited by his party in Michi- gan, and Massachusetts sat upon Josinh Quincy, and Pennayivani rolled up 000 majority against Harr 's men last week, President Cleveland summoned those thrée politieiuns to his side today and consulted them in reference to the futire of the part, The conference lasted some, time and the three rainbow chasers insisted that in the elections heldon the first Tucsday in this month the national policy of the party was not involved and that there was mnothing in these clections to discourage the belief that the demacratic party would still hold its strength with the people on tue issues made in 1892, It is understood that they had before them an outline of the work th belng done by the wiys and means com- mittee of -the housc and that with a vecy fow suggestions for minor changes the work was approved by allof them, and it was made very elear that the whold ministration would be carrying through congress a tarift bill wh would aceord with the democratic de tions in their last national vlatform, was no doubt or hesitancy whatever, the opinion of SLe s, hory.

Failure to meet was quite as much of a surprise to most of the members of the committee themselves as it was to the public. Con- gressman Cockran of New York and Bynum of Indiana had hurried back to the city in response to messages demanding their pres- ence, and the former was somewhat aston- ished on heaving that no formal call for a meeting had been issued today. The mem- bers when interviewed on the subject sim- ply stated that Chairman Wiison had not yeveatled the full ug, and until he did they were uncertain as to the next proceed- ings. Worrled Over foternal Revenue, It is an open sccvet that most of the vexa- tion is over the internal revenue schedules, where the questions of an income tax and a tax on tobacco, beer and whisky are all to be considered. When the committee does meot in full membership, which will probably be tomorrow, the first question to be considered will be that of an income tux, and until this matier is disposed of the details of the tariff bill will be left for subsequent considaration.

BRITISH MINERS' STRIKE ENDED AT LAS1 Owners at Lord Rosebery's Conforence Agree to Lot the Men Back at the 01d Wages Until Febroary—End of a Lonz Struggle. Loxnos, Nov. 17.—There was citement this morning in the vicinity of the foreign oMce where the conference between the coal mine owners and the miners began at 11 o'clock under the presidency of Earl Roscbery, sccretary for forelgn affaits. The miners' delogates were most cordially receivea by Lord Rosebery, who escorted them into his private rooms, while awaiung the opening of the conference. The conference was formally opened soon after 11 o'clock by Earl Rosebery, who made an admirable speech, tending to pour oil upon the troubled waters, to the assem- bled owners mines and tho repre- sentative triking employes. I'he dificulties between the coal mine owners and the miner€” were settled this afternoon. The men will resume work on the old rates until February ne board of concllintion will be formed. Resolutions Adopted Tho confercnce adopted the following reso- lutions: Pirst Monday at when a That a hoard of conci lished forthwith, which shall last year onsisi of an cqual number, fourteen such, of coal mine owners and conl miners. ves of the two partics, before of the delogates, shall try t elect a chairman from the outside. 1€ the fail then the speakerof the House of Coniny shall be asked to nominato s, who will have the castin d, when constituted, shall have power to determine, from time o time, the rates of wazes of thi miners.

The representatives of the owners pro- pose the men resume work at a 10 per cent reduction until March, wheu their w s for the future should be fixed by the boa mentioned. The miners declined to accept these terms and insisted they shouid recom: mence work at the old rates. They agreed, however, that any new rate decided upon should commence in March instead of i April, as they originally demanded. At last a solution was arvived at by the adoption of the above resolutions. Will Lonve 1t to the Board. Lord Rosebery then suggested that the ovportunity was~ favorabie to decide upon o minimum rate of wages. This proposition was uot accepted by the mine owners, and it was agrecd the question should be left for settlement by the board of conciiintion. Mr. Burns, the labor leader, said the suc- cess of the government's intervenuion was most importunt, as it would encourage appeal to similar influences when strikes oc- curred in the future. He said the result kills tho contention of the employers that wages must follow the fluctuations in prices, because, as he explained, the conciliation board can neither arrest the fall in prices or increase wages, The miners, he said, bad won a magnificent victor, The news of the settlenient of the miners’ strike created the greatest joy in the mining districts of Lancushive and Yorksire. The reliet funds had been almost exhausted and the people were desperate. In some places the rejoicings have been almost frenzied.
