WASHINGTON , D.U..IIII1. ! iO. 1
Hawaii knocks at the doors of. the United
States at n peculiarly active period in our
diplomatic affairs. 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. Judge Chlpman of Michigan , a
member of the house committee on foreign
nffairu , gives It as his opinion th.it within
the next four years l > oth Hawaii and Canada
will become portions of the United States ,

SAX Fn.vNctsco , Cal. , Jan.-.I. 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 * . " > 00,0'J. )
This measure the ministers would lint sup
port , and the proposition had the vote of
only one white man , the twenty-live votes
necessary to carry it , being contributed en
tirely by natives and half castes.
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. Rosa , H. YV. Wlleox , C.
L. Hopkins and others. Speeches were
made and resolutions we-'o adopted declar ,
ing confidence in the queen ami giving her
assurance that all present would glvo her
cordial support.
After the ineotlng a convention of the
whites was held on the same afternoon , at
tended by ISOU delegates. The meeting was
addressed by Nobles Thiii'Ston and Baldwin
and Itcprcst'iitatlvo Wilder , urging revolu
tion ana thn establishment of a free govern
ment ,

Resolutions wore offered providing for llio
formation of a provisional government and
empowering a commit too to further devise
urn ways and means as might U necessary
to secure a permanent niaintainanco of law

property in Hawaii. Si > ocehes woio made

On thn same afternoon an executive order
was Issued as follows :

Thls.was slimed by Snnford B. Dole , inln-
Istorof foreign affairs ; J. A. King , minister
of the Interior ! K C. Jones , minister of
finance , and William V. Smith , attorney
general , the four constituting the executive
council of the provisional government of the
Hawaiian Islands.
Simultaneous with this proclamation
another was Issued dismissing the existing
ministry , and at tlio siine tlm < T a squad of
armed men took clr.irgo of tlio government
buildings , placing the ministry of the queen
under arrest.
At 5:15 : o'clock ! . ' ( K ) sailors and marines
from the United States steamer Boston
landed and proceeded to guard the American
consulate and residence , and also took up a
losition near the residence of J. B. Athcr-
tons , a short distance from the palace , where
the provisional government was in session.

Late in the afternoon the following was
issued liy the queen :

This was signed by the queen and members -
bers of her cabinet and was indorsed by the
men composing the provisional government ,
and the receipt ot which was formally ac
knowledged by them.
After Issuing this tin * late queen yielded
unconditionally all the departments of the
government to the provisional government.

The provisional government then Issued a

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. Scott.i president of the Union
Iron works , in regard to tlio hurry of the
completion of the Monterey , said : "The
] trouble in the Sandwich islands has nothing
to do with this matter. The Monterey Is
practically finished as far as the Union
iron works Is concerned and it tele

Wt,4iiMiT | < ) .v , D. C. , Jan. 20. The Ha
waihin revolution lias been the absorbing
topic of conversation. 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.
In the meantime some of the members of
the. committed on foreign relations , before
whom tin ) matter will eventually come , are
expressing tht-ir sentiments with remarka

crot of his deslroto acquiesce in the request

WAIIIIXOTIIX , D. C.Jan. 20. [ 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. Calhoun
known as the "Oaks , " and all about were
the homes and headquarters of foreign lega
tlons. But when Corcoran placed a cemetery

irevail. Some invitations have already been ,
ecallcd , but Mr. Blalno had a decided ro-
iiignanco to making any public dcmonstra-

when a soldier passed through Fremont

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. A lawyer by
profession , twice a member of congress ,
three times governor .of tlio state of Ohio
and president of the ifnltcd States , his
statesmanship showed .clearly when gov
ernor of the state ; but the heavier Iho re
sponsibility the -rrtoru grandly appeared the
man. He entered upon his time its president
amid troubles , * unacr u black cloud with
mountains of dilllcnlties in the wav , but
under his honest administration the clouds
were swept uwny , the dlfllculties were overcome -
come , his enemies were silenced and con-
'tiercd ' , his friends wtiro surprised and de
lighted and he left itho white house after
giving the purest administration of any man
who had occupied tha executive chair.
Continuing , Rev.Mr. . Albrlttan pictured
him in many diffcronUights , all of which
shed a grcatcrluster upon the life of this

[ Hy Mexican Cable lo Hie Now York Herald
Special to Tin : Hnc. | An eminent Colom
bian hkh In the affairs of stale , assures mo
that no action will be taken on M. Mange's
application for a new concession for the
Panama Canal company , niton which con
gress lately empowered Vice President Care
to act until United Stales Minister
Abbott reaches Hogota. In Iho decision
Colombia will bo largely influenced by the
friendly counsel of the United States gov
ernment. Colombians are now convinced
that the French company cannot complete
the canal without aid from the French gov
ernment. A further concession Is therefore
considered in tlio nature of lost time. When
the concession lapses next month it is proba
ble that the government of Colombia will
take Immediate possession of the canal and
the visible assets of the company.
If this is done the Colombian government
oxpecls Hie aid of the United States , if
necessary. Tills expectation is based on the
11t
treaty with the United States , by which
that government is bound to protect the
interests i of Colombia. A new concession
may bo granted to an American and Hrltish
11s
syndicate if it is ifnxlous to secure it. If not
tlio Colombian government may undertake
to complete the work as a national enter
prise. 1 In that case they would lot the con
tract for its completion to the lowest re
sponsible bidder.
I'uvorulile to thu United Stati-H.
If the government should undertake the
work J the payment for it would bo arranged
by issuing special canal bonds. Should the
United States desire special privileges on
the Isthmus not already assured by the
treaty J of 1S40 that government might secure
\ them by joining Colombia and guaranteeing
the Interest on the bonds to bo issued.
Proofs of record have hccn rcce'v-d hero
showing that tlio rolling stock of II c c. nal
company has been sold to the railroad com
pany. Even the resident French director's
special engine and private car wore included
in the sale. Tlio negotiations were effected
last August by E. Lopponheim of New York
and was ratified by M. Porque , the roMdent
attorney for the liquidators , on November 10
last. The cars ami emrincs were immediately
transferred , repainted and relcttered with
the name of Iho railway company ,
Colombians are indignant and regard the
transfer as a fraudulent attempt to save ,
through the American charter granted to
the railway company , that portion , ot , . ,
canal company's assets from , forfeiture by
the government when the present concession
expires next month. Employes of thd canal
hero are now losing hope of M. Mango's mis
sion to Bogota being successful in securing anew
now concession" . Local forces of the isthmus
will bo reduced on the first of the month and
tiio salaries of those retained will bo cut
down.

Advices from Bogota are to the effect that
President Nunez will insist on the payment
of the l,000f)30 ) francs the canal company
owes the government for the last concession ;
that the French Canal company mustatonce
retake possession of the rolling stook sold lethe
the railway company or else place-tin * money

Special to Tin : HIB. : ) Great Interest Is
taken by the Anglo-Amorloaii colony in Paris

Hobson alone will appear to answer the
charge. The Anglo-American bank was
founded some four years ago with the ob
ject of ostablls .ing branches at various cen
ters in America and Europe and doing a general -
oral banking business. The head ofllco was
In Now York and that of the
European branch was In Paris. Gorniann
became president , Mr. Hainan was made

York last year It was resolved that Gor-
manii , Hobson and Martincll ! should bo re
placed. The police authorities In Paris
ordered that an examination of the bank's
books * should bo made by an export.
The result was that Mr. Ilobson. who
liad remained in Paris , was eventually ar
rested. It is alleged that Ilohson , whose
salary was 8,000 francs a year , with an Inter

accordingly sent to General D.iylc asking
him for military assistance , and a re

also stated that additional troops would bo

excitement hero tonight and trouble of Iho
most serious character Is anticipate. ! .
The Brooks pcoplo evidently intend to

The call for state troops hy Sheriff Jennor
to protect the Brooks locomotive works
makes the strike , which was begun ono week
ago | today , and which Iho Brooks olllcials
called | un Insignificant matter , now a very
serious affair. The strike was caused by the

The Brooks people engaged Philadelphia
men to laku the strikers' places , And . < ester-

the strikers could interfere. President- ,
[ Unman received information that threats
had been made against the employes , and
the protection of Sheriff Jenner was asked.
That ollleial , as a precautionary measure , at
once appealed to General Doyle at BulTi-lo
for state troops. In case they were needed.
Last night two of the now men ventured
outside tlio works , and were set upon and

stating that lie cannot reivlvo Ills Just dues

that a caucus will be held before Wednesday

inasmuch as Paddock is crowding for the

once seize upon the opportunity then offered
to begin drawing away Paddock's support.

pushing him for a caucus nomination Friday
