None of the foreign representatives participated. No salutes were fired from the American, English or Japanese war vessels in port. The day passed with no disturbance, e representatives of forolgn governments acted on the instructions of their own governments and upon their own responsi- bility with the distinct disavowal upon the part of the representative of the United States that its action was either intended or dusired to control theirs. Frequent editorials, similar in character to those enclosed, many of them severely reflecting upon the president of the United States and his secretary of state, and als upon Mr. Blount have appeared in the daily Tress. As the Hawailan question i3 now pending before congress, and, as the feeling here has been very intense, I have not thought proper thus far to take any official notice of them. I would be glad to have instructions from you upon the subject.

The second letter in the correspondence is dated January 19 and is merely a letter from Mr. Willis to Sceretary Gresham, transmit- ting President Wole's letter and his repl without further comment than, “It will on my part end the correspondence on the subject.” MINISTER WILLIS' REPLY TO DOLE. - The Dole letter, in regard to Mr. Willls' nttitude showing the intention to use force, Jas already been published. Mr. Willis’ Foply to it bears the date of January 19 and 18 as follows: Hon. Sanford B. Dole, Minister of Foreign Affairs: Sir—I have the honor to acknowl- edge the recelpt of your communication of the 16th Inst., which was in reply to mine of the 1st. The only question of practical importance arising out of the present cor- yespondence was whether the United States war vessels were at the time the let- for was written objectionable to your gov- ernment. Certain language which seemed to conyey that idea was, in a subsequent note of January 18, withdrawn, thus, as 1 am pleased to know, leaving the present peaceful and friendly purpose without ques- o In addition to the above there were state- ments which were, as I thought, unjust in that the sole responsibility for the recent disturbed condition of this community was attributed to me, the diplomatic agent of the United States. In your last communi- cation you expressly disclaim any intention of charging me or my government ‘‘wit intent to produce these results or conditions. described in your letter of December 27. Your first letter contains a similar assur- ance, coupled with the statement that your “movernment I8 reluctant to believe “this condition of affairs was contemplated or expected by yourself or the president of the United States.’ In view of the above a reply to your last communication may not be necessary, nor would one be made except for a desire on the part of my government to have the good will and friendship of the people for whom you speak, which result will, in my opinlon, be advanced by an explanation of several matters therein referred to. With the hope that I may be able to con- vince you of any misapprehensions I wi now briefly consider the ‘‘specifications furnished by you, which refer to my “‘atti- tude, language” and ‘“‘public communica- tions” since arriving here, and which, in your judgment, show that T “intend to use force.” Your last communication embraces many topies that are not irrelevant to the above Inquiry, but are not proper for me to discuss. Reforring to matters occurring before my arrival, T do not feel at liberty to di them further than to say they were not at tho time given the unfriendly construction now imputed to them, nor do they, pt in a very remote degree, bear upon your Ktatements as to a purpose to use force 1 come to the paragraph which quotes cortaln expressions from an interview in a local paper of the 16th of last November, As-this doos not involve my “attitude” 1 have this to say The subject matter of the Interview, and tho circumstances out of which it grow wers known to you at the time. On the forenoon of Wednesday, November 15, Hon, S. M. Damon, minister of Anance, notified me in person that there were rumors of an attack wat night or the ensuing night upon the executive bullding. The government did not credit these rumors, but there were many people who had apprehensions upon the subs Joct, in consequence of which, as he in. formed me, the regular guard had been in- creased, and one of the volunteer companies would be ordered under arms for the night I remarked, “the Japanese consul general Ihe English minister and other foreign repre. sentatives have already called to say thelr poople are approhensive of mob violence wnd had asked me, as the only representas tive whose government had war vessels now in port, to protect the peoplo. Th friends of the queen also are apprehensive w8 o her safety. I do not wish to interfere In any way with your domestic afairs ex cept with your approval. If you do not object, however, 1 will publicly announce that_the Unitod States will co-operate to prevent mob violence. I will also state that there will be no communication from the president of the United States to your government for some weeks," DAMON ASSENTED. Mr. Damon replied, thanking me for the offer aud saying he could see no objection whatever, and that such an announcement would go very far to allaying the fears and relieving general anxiety. In reply to the questions as to whether the order calling out the volunteers could not be rescinded, he said ho would go at once to the executive building, but he was afraid it was too late to make any change for that night. The following night I met Mr. Damon at w dinner given by Captain Barker on board the United States flagship Philadelphla, when ho expressed his hearty approval and appre- clation of my action, and sald the effect of 1o interview which you quote had been to ns upon the come contingent have “America Is Our r Chapter in the Epistolary Inter- | IN DETAIL | greatly relieve the apprehension of the com- wunity as to mob viole On the following morning you cal this legation, and being informed of the pre ceding facts, as stated fn your letter, you expressed ycur satisfaction and approval of What had occurred. The representatives of the general government and many prom nent citizens expressed themselyes to the ¥ame effect. The action was_meant and nnderstood at the t n the in terest of the peace, humanity, good order and will, after this explanation, no longer, | hope, be considered in evidence of hostility Paragraph 13 contains extracts from re marks published in a local paper of the 15th of last November purporting to have bee made by me to a “delegation of the Amer- fean league,” and which you accept as cor rect, 1 state now nothing was sald on that oceaslon which was intended or which could be construed into an unfriendly senti ment toward you or your government. As to the written communication, the languag, used will answer for itseif o minister at this point quotes the re ports of his interview with Dole and At torney General Smith You further, in paragraph 15, refer to your communication of November 20 *'revoking the general permission thereto foregranted to the United States forces to land for drill.” You assigned no reason for such action and I know of none, You were, however, promptly notified that such privilege would not thereafter be exercised, and to this day no armed soldier of our government has been landed here for that or any othe purpose. Under our constitution, as you are well aware, congress alone has the power to de- clare war. As the president distinctly an- nounced, he would only act #‘within the cor titutional limits of executive power,” he precluded the idea of using force and af- firmed his declaration of November 1, de- livered through Secretary Gre not to do anything which would cause injury to life and property of any one at the islands. If these “visiting citizens” who describe the preparations, drills, etc., aboard our naval vessels had made Inquiry of the officers n command their appre fon would have been promptly allayed by information that what they saw on that Friday they could have seen on any third Friday in the month, it being the usual squadron routine drill, viz: boat drill, fire party, arm and away, requiring the packing of knapsacks and other preparations which you detail. I append_two letters of Rear Admiral Irwin of the 13th and 17th inst. ADMIRAL IRWIN EXPLAINS. 1. “No different preparations for landing lave ever been made since I assumed com mand of this squadron than those made by my predecessor, Admiral Skerrett, which were intended to suppress riot and protect e lives and property of Americans and iglishmen."” As to the stoppage of shore leave, he cxplains: I did, as a matter of precaution, suspend liberty to the crews until I could ascertain whether it would be prudent to permit them to land without danger of col- lision. ~ After coming ashore and satisfying myself on that point, which T did in less than an hour, the order was revoked by tele- phone. 3. “On the 18th of December, as the ex- citement on shore was very great and as quite a mob had gathered at our usual land- ing, 1 gave orders for our officers to wi their uniforms on shore, which s the u precaution taken in forelgn countries in es of great public escitement. It fis proper to add I had been informed by Cap- tain Rooke of the British cruiser Champion that he had given a similar order. The admiral says in conclus “As you are aware, I have studiously avoided doing anything that would have a tendency to in- crease the excitement prevailing in Honolulu and I distinetly state that the naval force under my command is in no way responsible for the feeling now existing.” Tho- only warlike preparations seem to have been confined to one day—December 15 and these, as just shown by Admiral Irwin were not subject to an unfriendly construc- tion. In this connection it may not be improper to mention the conduct of our naval forces during the trying circumstances succeeding the 24th of last November. The many ru- mors as to their purpose of landing and at- tacking your people, the feeling of resent- ment naturally resulting from the honest belief by a large party of the community that such was their intention, the opprobious epithets that were freely employed, brought about such a dangerous and critical condi- tion that for a time, as Admiral Trwin states, it became uecessary for all our officers going ashore to wear their service uniform as a protection against insult and attack. During the whole of this unfortunate and regretable incident the action of both officers and men was one of forbearance and self-control. T desire to atate the only communication of a political character which 1 had with the queen was on three occasions. The sole pur- pose of these negotiations was, as you know, to secure proper guaranties from the queen a8 to the life and property of all connected with the overthrow of the monarchy. These having been secured, I then, under. the in- struction of the president of the United States, presented his decisions, setting forth the reasons therefor and submitting to your government for its voluntary action. AS TO THE USE OF FORCE, Mr. Carter was Invited by me to the last interviews with the queen, December 16 and December 18. He knew nothing until then of tho interview of November 14. As a na- tive of Hawall, of American parentage, whose character for integrity and intelli- gence was acknowledged in the community, I considered him a proper person to be pres- ent. You state “It was a well nigh universal belief in the city that you were about to at- tempt to land the naval forces of the United States to enforce the execution of the presi- dent’s policy.” My answer Is that month prior to the time referred to, had given you information negativing the idea of using force and had authorized the pub- lication of such information “to allay any such apprehension.” Furthermore, as frankly admitted by you, in this correspondence, “your government did not itself” entertain this apprehension. Touching the statement In paragraph that your government was refused permis- sion o forward “Hawaiian government dis- patches” by the dispatch boat Corwin, it is only necessary to remind you the naval offi- cers of the United States and the public gen- crally were denied such privilege, and no in ference of unfriendly feeling should, there fore, have been drawn. In reply to paragraph 24, and also to a clause In your letter of the 27th, T have the lonor to state upon the authority of a letter now in my possession from the diplomatic agent of Japan that it is a mistake in sup- posing his offer of protection was confined to “‘prominent American supporters of the provisional government” or was based on the fear of “American Invasion.’ My answer to paragraph 25 s set forth in my reply to paragraph 19, which shows that all the communications with the queen were fully, and I trust satisfactorily, explained to your government. In paragraph 26 you quote from my add of December 19, submitting to the views of the president upon the Hawailan question. I respectfully suggest there is in this address no intima- n us to the use of force. Your paragraph 27 states, “On December 1 replied to foregoing communication in he negative. Up to the time of sending you my communication of December 2 no further communication had been received by you from me and no assurance has been received that force was to be used ner what your further instructions were concerning this government. Lend all your attention to the fact that at the time your answer was delivered I notified you I would forward it to Washing- ton and nothing would be done by me until further instructe Your reply was, “That will be satisfactory to_our people.” Your reply of the 25th states: “During your nearly two months residence in this City you and your family have declined the customary social courtesies usually extended to those occupying your official position, on the specified ground that it was not deemed best under existing circumstances to accept such civilities. In reply permit me to say the course of conduct referred to was prompted by the triendliest motive, had no official significance was adopted not toward the provisional govs ernment alone, and was intended to leave all persous, after the disclosure of the views of my government, free and unembarrassed o themselves as to the relations ed to hold to me and my family Thus, without unnecessary comment, I have considered and endeavored to explain those portions of your correspondence which bore upon the question of the “purpose to use force,” and the responsibilities arlsing there- from.

MRS, HARRI ON'S PORTRAIT, Will Be Hung Beside Those of the Other Honored Mistresses of the White House, WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—To the inter- csting collection of portraits which hang on the walls of rooms of state in the white house will be added this week a fine picture of Mrs. President Harrison. The donors are the members of the patriotic order, Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, who will meet here for their third annual congress the last three days of the week, assembling on Washington's birthday. Most of the former mistresses of the white house have received official recognition from the gov- ernment by permission given that their por- traits should be hung In the executive man- sion. union presented, some years ago, a painting of Mrs. President Hayes, one of the most distinguished exemplars of its principles. Mrs. Harrison was a member of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, holding its highest office and presiding over its delibera~ tions while she was in the white house, Presi- dent Cleveland has written to the society signifying his willingness to accept the por- trait. It was painted by Huntington York, is 6x7 feet, and s regarded by critics as an exceptionally fine work, It represents Mrs Harrison at the age of 30 years, attired in a brocaded gown of corureal blue with train held in the left hand. The congress of the society will be called to order Thursday, February 22, by the president general, Mrs. Vice President Ste- venson, who will deliver an address of wel- come. The respon wiil be by Mrs. James ck, state regent of Wisconsin. At the evening sesslon the portrait of Mrs. Harri- son will be unveiled with appropriate cere- monies, including music by the Marine band and the singing of an original hymn, “Our of New Western Pensions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—The house com- mittee on postoflices and postroads resumed today its consideration of the plan proposed in the bill by Representative Dunphy of New York and endorsed by the Postoffice depart- ment for making separate appropriations for the ten largest offices. It was noted in the annual report of the postmaster gencral that 30 per cent of the receipts of the 68,403 offices come from the cities of New York Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, an Francisco, Balti- more and Pittsburg. ‘There were p ent today Postmasters Dayton of New York, Hessing of Chicago, Carr of Philadelphia, Sullivan of Brooklyn and Johnson of Balti® more. Postmaster Sullivan of Brooklyn described the inconveniences under which the offices labor from being compelled to secure the ap- proval of the department before any con- tingent expenditure can be made. Pos master H ng of Chicago reported that the phenomenal growth of Chicago had not been met with corresponding improvements in postal facilities. The greatest cg tration of rail postal business for tribution, he said, is at Chicago, so that it receipts were not comparative to the busi- done. The great panse of the city, hundreds of miles of street, the unusually high buildings made it impossible for carr to make the same scheduloe time that they do in other citics. The Rookery building alone with 4,000 business men required the seryices of thiree carric making six trips a day. The postoffice building, he said, was an architcctural abor- tion, insanitary, condemned by the health department, with insuflicient space, light and alr. Additional carrier service was needed for the seventy square miles covered by the free delivery system, the abolition of the fifth branch offices and the establishment of more carrier stations. Elasticity in ap- propriations was lacking as well as confi- denco in the postmasters. The greatest need of Chicago was a new building. If Chicago was given the same percentage of res ts appropriated for New 00 more than it Philadelphia it than it does, does now. Comp: should receive $600,000 more and with Brooklyn, $1,200,000. Postmaster McKean of Pittsburg advocated the change. A man placed at the head of a great office by the government should be one who could be trusted to disburse the funds of the office at his discretion, he said.

Crazy Schemes that by Some Defici WASHINGTON, Feb. he ways and means committee has preserved a special bunch of papers containing remarkable propositions from people in various parts of the country as the means for meeting the government deficiency. One of these urges a tax of $10 on each base ball or foot ball club in the country and an additional $100 for every game of base ball or foot ball played. Another proposition is that a reduction of 10 per cent be made on all salaries to government officials over $10,000, the reduction to con- tinue until the hard times are over. An- other reformer proposes a heavy internal revenue tax to be placed on revolvers, pistols, dirks, daggers and other weapons used in committing bodily violence. Various plans for protecting workingmen have been suggested, one of these being a tax of $100 on every Immigrant coming to this country to work. Some of these propositions hXVe con- ned threats of various natures. One man at Columbus, 0., has sent many threatening postal cards, written in red ink, expressing a purpose of killing members of the com- mittee, Bach of this man's leiters bears the impress of a large seal, similar to a notarial seal. The circular margin of this are the words “Marshal of the United States,” and within the circle “State of Ohio.”” The seal is well executed and gives the letters an appearance of being the work of anarchistic organization, though the believed to be sent by one man. No effort has been made to apprehend the writer, as he Is regarded as harmless, but the letters may bo turned over to the in- spectors of the Postofic » Silver Mining. WASHIN , Feb. 19.—Representative Hicks of Pennsylvania has introduced a bill which he believes will be an excellent plan for the scttlement of the silver question. Tho bill is in a rnde shape at present and was drafted by John Hamer of Philadelphia. It 1s entitled “A Bill for the Encouragement of the Mining of Silver in the United States and the Formation of Silver Guar- anty Banks It provides, in brief, that any perscn may deposit with the govern- ment $50,000 worth of silver buliion, and by depositing 26 per cent of the value lm interest bearing bonds as a guaranty of any depreciation, may receive $50,000 in legal tender treasury notes redeemable In coin.
