The present administra tion has been called upon to deal with an Unusual number of questions of International character. Some of them , snob as the Bering sea controversy and the Canadian Jlsherlcs question , wore legacies from the last Cleveland administration , which will return to plnguo the Incoming administra tion , Others , such as the correspondence with Italy over the Mafia massacre at Now Orleans lind llio assassination of United States sailors at Valparaiso , have Itecn finally disposed of to tlio great credit of the president and tlio late secretary of state. The general policy of reciprocity involving commercial rela tions with all the other republicans of this continent and the admission of American products Into France , Germany , Italy. Austria and Spain must also bo counted among the most brlllliint achievements of tlilsadmlnl.stratioii. Hut 1'resident Cleveland and his secretary of state will have to deal with several ques tions of an international nature , which promise to furnish critical developments. The annexation of llio Hawaiian islands or the establishment of an American protec torate over that archipelago is a problem which can hardly reach a settlement , in the opinion of leading members of the eongrcs- iilonal committees on foreign affairs and foreign relations , before March . A still more important problem is the an nexation of Canada. This question is receiv ing more active attention at the State department ami among members of congress than is generally supposed. Any day may see.n positive overture looking to tlio politi cal union of Canada with tlio United States on the part of the government at Washing ton or at Ottawa in spite of the natural opposition of the lory movement. Otlii-r Important Qiii-ntlmn. Necessarily complicated with this question of Canadian annexation is tlio forthcoming measure of President Harrison , already out lined In these dispatches , informing con- press that it is easily within the power of this country to prevent the importation in bond through Canadian territory and over the Canadian Pacific railroad of goods for countries other than Canada herself. The ( tension nf the international tribunal which is to decide by arbitration tlio dispute between the United States and Great Britain as to jurisdiction over the sealing industry , will noon begin In Paris. Secretary of State Foster who will soon resign his oflicc in order to act as counsel for the American commissioners will sail from New York on" February 8. In the same vessel will probably depart Senator Morgan and Justice Harlan. the American commission ers. Mr. Francis S. Jones and Mr. Huhbard T. Smith will accnnipaiiy the commissioners as special attaches ronrcsentlng the State department. The Kessionsof this court of arbitration will extend over several months and will bo accompanied by many social en tertainments by tlio hospitable Parisians , i In view of all these pending questions the news of the revolution creates great interest , but lias called fortli as yet only conllicting comments , because no one knows what has happened since the Hawaiian commissioners left their homo for San Francisco a fort night ago.

The down- 'fall of the Ha walla monarchical government i- . ment lias dually occurred. A provisional government has been organized , composed entirely of white residents , and it assumed control of nil the functions of government and awaits the decision of tlio United States government whether It will accept the Hawaiian islands us a portion of Its domain. The event which led up to this situation commenced immediately before the depar ture of the steamship Mnrlposa for San Francisco on January 11 by the passage of a bill which gave a concession for tlio estab lishment of a , lottery In the kingdom , a franchise being given to six people on a promise of an annual payment of * .

This act was followed in tlio afternoon o f fu January 1" , after the departure of the MarliKisa , by springing g vote of want of confidence in the ministry , and which , after hut little argument , was passe 1 by a vote of ! i" > , the exact number necessary. The de feated ministry had thoconlldonco of the capitalists and the business community gen l" erally , and as the pr.ii-ng.itton of Parliament had boon s t for January IS hy the queen herself , their tonuroof onleo was expected to run until the end of I Mm. KirUrninit Hull 11 lull. Considerable excitement then followed nmomr the white residents on tlio islands , which was heightened on January ill by the appointment of a ministry in which there was no confidence , and by the fact that the queen on the morning of tlio 1''th signed the billTho The climax was reached on January 15 by the iiuocn attempting to promulgate a now constitution , guaranteeing to her abso'ute authority In which act her now ministry de clined to endorse her. The quwn made her appca's ' almost entirely to the natives and half castes to sustain her. She declared to them that her managers would m1t obey her command * . On the afternoon of January 10 , nearly -1,000 natives assembled on Palate square as 00P jHM'tors of the queen. On the platform were A. .1 Cummlngs , Ed Hush , J. A. Nawhe , (1. 11. ICanaoha , A.

The United States flagship Mohican , with Admiral Slccr- ritt aboard , left Mare Island navy yard fit 7 o'clock this morning. She arrived off San Francisco this afternoon and proceeded di rect to sea on her way to Honolulu. The Ranger is expected to leave the yard at any moment and the Adams will 'leave there Tuesday. Not for several months past has there been so much bustle and activity at the Marc Island navy yard as shown since the news was received announcing the over throw ot the monarchical gov ernment at Hawaii. .Tho various heads of departments were ordered to report immediately at the commandant's ofllee and orders were issued to them to have tlio flag ship Mohican and the cruiser Ranger ready to steam away from tlio yard at once , and the Adams to bo ready within forty-eight hours. Carts were at once set to work haulIng - Ing coal for the two former ships , and as fast as received at the wharf ttio fuel was taken aboard in baskets and stored in the bunkers Provisions were sent out from the store room and every available man was set to work where ho could bo tbo most useful. Since the news of the complication of af fairs in the Hawaiian islands were received hero early Saturday morning there has been marked activity in completing preparatijns for sending the now coast defense vessel Monterey to the Mare Island navy yard. She Is now at the Union Iron works , this city , but will go to the navy yard tomorrow to rvcoivo her stores and ammunition and ti : bo otherwise fitted for sea. A force of lot men were working on the Monterey all last nightandstato that they received notice that the vessel must bo completed by 4 o'clock to morrow morning. Harry T.

In the face of th general protest stated to have been sent by Hie deposed queen , declaring that she yielded I only to tbo superior force of the United 1 States and appealing to tho/Jnltcd States to reverse its action and reinstate her In authority , It was expected that the specially chartered steamer which brought the news of the revolution would also bring some dis patch from Minister John L. Stevens or Con sul General Henry W. Seovranco to the State department. If any such advices were brought they were apparently not in tele graphic form or were in such shape as not to bo suitable for publicity at the present time. Secretary of State Foster , when seen to night , asserted positively that ho had re ceived no further Information. It was also : expected that the commander of the Boston would have transmitted to the Navy depart ment some detailed report of his vigorous action in landing his marines and practically taking control of the revolution. Both Secretary - rotary Tracy and Assistant Secretary Soley stated that no such advice lias yet boon re ceived at the Navy department. Tlio inference - ferenco accordingly is that the detailed re ports from these olllcers are on their way by mail 'ind may expected to arrive In Wash ington alxnit the same time as the annexa tion committee on Friday next.

[ Special Tele gram to Tin : Ben. ] "Here Is the burial place of Blaine , " said the old sexton of Oak Hill emctcry today as he piloted a party along he rain soaked and muddy walk and down a uccession of terraces to a newly made grave. I'lio scene was one of bleakness and dcsola- ion. The heavy fog and mist made the ombstones all about barely discernible. The January thaw had melted the snow and co until the terraces were creased with nany streams of running water. The grave tself was partly protected from the danger f lining with water by two rough loot's , which had been taken from their ilnges and fixed as a tent above it. The ; rave digger had forgotten his spade , which till lay at the bottom of the grave. The leaps of brown clay on each side were tartly . hidden with flowers and piled high ilongsldo the two mounds which marked the [ raves ol Emmons Blaine and Alice Blainc Joppingor were the most exquisite flowers. That of Emmons Blaine was buried in a pro- uslon of great white calla lilies and of the nodcst lily of the valley , which is Just coni ng to bloom in ttiis latitude. The spot was suggestive of isolation and losolallon as well as of extreme simplicity. There was no sweep of ground to mark the Maine lot. On the contrary it was scarcely Hteen feet square and hedged in on all sides > y unpretentious grave stones. Immediately ilongsldo of the grave which is to receive tills great American statesman stood a little ivcatherbcaten stone marked simply "Peter [ 'aimer.1 In front of a tree over the graves there was a circular lot well udapfed for some great shaft of granite wlilcn might Ittingly mark the resting place of Blaine. "but that is taken , ' ' said the sexton , "by a man named Norris. " And so all irouml the little lot were graves which cir cumscribed its limit. There was still room for perhaps two graves but no more , and back of these , hy trespassing somewhat on the | terrace above , a shaft may in time bo placed ( to designate the grave of the Plumed ICnlght , but there was bno noticeable and natural monument which reared Itself im mediately ut the head of the open grave and which H seined to have come there by some prophetic ' accident. ( iimrileil liy it llun ihn. : It was a lingo elm that had live ! perhaps sixty years and had then been shivered by lightning forty feet above its base. It was so . near the grave that the diggers had to how away the tendril roots extending not only Into the new made grave , but to the old ones boyond. The lifeless branches were still perfect and the symmetry of the tree complete from the ground up to the point where the lightning had cut It squarely off. Possibly Mr. Blaine , when ho picked out tills lot only a few years ago , saw something sug gestive of himself in this noble old trunk which had expanded so fully and had then been so suddenly cut off. The view from the graveside is one of wildness and beauty. It is the ono spot in Washington where the dead level is broken into a succession of ravines and natural terraces which reach at some points the grandeur of canon scenery. Lover's Lane ! widen sweeps around the cem etery , 1ms a spot from w filch ono may look down an abyss of sheer ! ! 00 foot. From the grave ono sees the apex of the Washington monument , and on a clear day the great dome of the capitol is prominently outlined against the sky. An intervening ridge cuts off tlio view of the white house , but the tall chimneys of the State department are just discernible. Thus the visitor to Blaino's tomb will take in at a glance not only his last resting place but all the various scenes of his busy life. Only the white house Is lacking to make the picture complete. Back of the Blaine low In the more thickly settled iwrtlon of tlio cemetery Is the grave of John Howard Payne , author of "Homo , Sweet Home. " His remains were brought hero from Tunis , whore ho died , by the generosity of W. W. Corcoran , the philan thropist , and further along is the large Corcoran vault in which is the remains ol the philanthropist himself. It was Corcoran who gave this tract of rugged land to Washington as a cemetery and It was by this act of Intended philanthropy that ho incurred the lasting enmity of Georgetown in which it is located. Up to that time the suburb had been the fashionable quarters ot the national capitol. Alongside the tract ol land was the home of John C.

A few months ago , continued the speaker , when a soldier passed through Fremont rolling a wheelbarrow , making the trip In this way to Washington to the annual gath cring of the Grand Army of the Republic , ho spent the night at Spiegel Grovo. The old soldier was somewhat abashed when he reached tlio steps of the long porch , but General Hayes advanced rapidly to him and 1 grasping him by Iho hand , he said : "How do you do , comrade J Welcome. " And as the private soldier looked into the general's face , he know ho had found a welcome In the homo of a friend , i President Hayes , said the KK | > aker. was no less a statesman than .a soldier. His great learning , his thorough knowledge of the times and his patujotic principles eminently titled him for statesmanship.
