iveil by President Dole in which

jt lie considered the letter of Sec
Dresham a domestic matter
i'h which he (Willis) had nothin?
do. it was his opinion, however,
,i president Cleveland would de*
,lt to furnish definite information
id instructions as soon as he had re
ired certain advices which had been
ansmitted to him. It was Minister
nils' opinion that President
Itveland would be able to come
i a conclusion quickly because

rom F. M. Hatch's speech in their
epport as follows: “We are in an
nranalous condition. Though the
listing and only government, we
ire been discredited in the eyes of the
furld by the utterances of Secretary

he question of restoration ourselves,

The Hawaiian Star has printed the
statement that a fine calabash will be
forwarded by the native political
society, by the steamer Australia to
day, bearing the following inscrip
tion: “To J. H, Blount, from Hui
Kalaiana for services rendered.” The
Honolulu Bulletin and Royalists deny
the statement in toto, while some, in
cluding members of the native so
ciety, admit its truth, but deny the
correctness of the inscription as given.
Interviews with several prominent
Royalists show that many of them
have given up hope of immediate
restoration and believe the situation
will be reviewed by the United States
congress.

CLOSE CALL FOR PINKERTON.
The Noted Chicago Oetective Traps a
Man Wlto Planned to Kill Him.
San Fbancisco, Dec. 18 — Billy Pink
erton, the Chicago detective chief, ar
rived here a few days ago on a pleas
ure trip and his arrival was chronicled
in the newspapers. Last night about
11 o’clock he was sitting in the billiard
room of the Palace hotel talking to
Detectives Rohen and Seymour of the
local police force when a messenger
entered and handed him a note asking
Pinkerton to meet the writer in front
of the Crocker building opposite the
hotel, as he had something of great
importance to tell him.
Suspecting a trap, Pinkerton ar
ranged with Rohen and Seymour to
follow him and to come to bis assist
ance at a given signal. Then he
walked across the street and as he
reached the Crocker building a man
stepped out from the shadow and
asked, “You are Bill Pinkerton, ain't
you?”
As the man spoke Pinkerton recogniz
ed him as Jack Uennessy, a notorious
train robber, whom he had captured
years ago and who had sworn to kill
him.
Pinkerton said cooly, “My name
is Pinkerton,” and after signaling to
the two detectives shouted, “Grab
mm!” and threw his arms about the
man. A desperate struggle ensued
before Uennessy was overpowered.
He was handcuffed and taken to the
city prison.
While talking to Pinkerton he kept
his right hand in his overcoat pocket,
and in this was found a loaded 41
caliber pistol.
Speaking of the affair afterward Mr.
Pinkerton said: “I am convinced
Rohen and Seymour saved my life.
Uennessy is as desperate a fellow as
there is in the country. He is a train
robber and has operated all over the
Western and Southern states. His
last job was in Mississippi, years ago,
and he was captured by me after a
long chase. lie was sentenced to
serve a long term in the Mississippi
penal institution and after his con
viction he swore to have my life. He
escaped from the penitentiary and
there is a standing reward of 51,500
for his capture.”
Pinkerton says he will not claim
the reward, but will leave that to
Rohen and Seymour who came to his
assistance.__
WORKMEN AND THE TARIFF.
Knights or i^oor umei 3o»®«bish
Protection vnd Strikes*
Washington', Dec. 18. — Master
Worltraan Sovereign, recently chosen
to succeed T. V. Powderly ns the head
of the Knights of Labor, who is in
Washington attending a congress of
silver leaders, said last night of his
policy: ‘‘I am against strikes. I have
been connected with labor organiza
tions for years and have never yet
been in a strike.”
Asked as to his position on the
tariff, Mr. Sovereign said: “l am an
out and out free trader. I believe in
no makeshifts or partial reductions of
tariff taxation. The socalled protec
tion to all labor is a delusion. Labor
is not protected. Invested capital re
ceives a bonus in the form of protec
tion and it is then optional with the
capitalist to give a share of the bonus
to labor in the form of increased
wages. But the option is seldom if
ever exercised.” ._
Mr. Sovereign added that the tariff
and all other questions would be
made secondary to the money issue,
which was the subject on which the
Knights of l^ibor and all industrial
orders would join. He says the
Knights are about to enter upon a
new era of prosperity. About 4,000
street car workers and as many more
clothing operatives will soon be taken
into the order at New \ork.
Mr. Sovereign wi.l soon leave for a
tour of North Carolina, Arkansas and
the Indian territory to organize new
branches of the order._
It is rumored that the Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Memphis is trying to
buy the Kansas City, Wyandotte and
Northwestern.

REPLY TO ORESHAM,
Charles L. Carter, Annexation Commis
sioner, Answers the Secretary.
SanFrancisco, Doc. 14.—Thestoam
ship Arawa, which arrived from Hon
olulu at Victoria, British Columbia,
yesterday brought the news that the
people of Hawaii had at last received
copies of Secretary Gresham’s state
paper in regard to the overthrow of
the queen and that tbo adherents of
the provisional government had hold
mass.meetlngs In favor of resistance
to the restoration of the monarchy
and of appeal to the United States
congress.
The steamship also brought a very
long open letter to Secretary Gresham
from Charles L. Carter, head of the
annexation commission which visited
the United States last winter. This
letter in reply to that of Mr. Gresham
detailing the facts in the report of
Special Envoy lilount and recom
mending full reparation for past in
justice and restoration of the legiti
mate government. The open letter is
divided into twenty-seven paragraphs
to correspond with Mr. Gresham’s doc
ument.
In the first paragraph Mr. Carter de
clares that the queen was induced to
change her mind as to the proposed
new constitution only after a most
violent altercation with her minis
ters. fHe charges that jtlie lottery
bill was passed by the vote of a mem
ber wiio had been pledged against the
measure, but bad boon made drunk
and decorated with a wreath of flow
ers because he had been befudddled
with liquor and promised to carry out
her plans. He appeals to Mr. Gres
ham to consider this matter as well os
the opium and Chinese matters.
After declaring tliut he knew noth
ing of the correspondence between
Mr. Stevens and the minister of for
eign affairs, Mr. Carter says that up
to the time the American troops were
lauded there was intense excitemeut
and agitation und two attempts at in
cendiary fires. He also details the
reizure by hitn of the government
building the following day and the
finding of only eight officials in the i
building where they were ordinarily
scores, all tho others having fled for
fear of attack by the revolutionists.
After the seizure only armed sup
porters of the revolution wero placed
on duty. Captain Wiltse refused pos
itively to give any assistance.
Mr. Carter refers to the prompt
recognition of the provisional govern
ment bvall foreign powers and to tho
confession of the queen's marshal, C.
B. Wilson, that the queen's advisers
were badly divided und refused to
allow hi in to resist.
In paragraphs 14, 15 and 10 Mr.
Carter denounces the queen's protest
as a quibbling trick to cover her
cowardly surrender and declares that
Marshal‘Wilson said that he had so
informed Mr. Blount that he and all
the queen's adherents knew that the
American troops would not surrender.
Mr. Carter declares that Wilson pro- j
tested against surrender, but the j
queen did not heed him He says:
The protest of the queen was accepted with I
Indifference as lndlcatin ' her objection 4 to re
llrlnr from that powor which - he had so ruth

MORE SPEECHES ON HAWAII.

Washington, Deo. 14.—When the
senate met to-day Mr. Cockrell from
the joint committee of the executive *
department, reported the house bill
to improve the methods of account
ings in the postofflee department . >
and it was placed on the calendar.
The president pro tern laid before the
senate the message of the house, dis
agreeing to the amendments of the
senate on the Now York and New
Jersey bridgo bill and asking for a J
conference thereon. Messrs Vest,
Uormsi) and l-’ryo were appointed con
ferrees.
The president pro tem laid before
the senate the resolution offered Mon
day bv Mr. Hoar calling on the presi
dent for further information on the
Hawaiian matter, and Mr. Frve of
Maine addressed the senate in behalf
of Mr. Stevens.
Mr. Vest followed Mr. Frye. He *
laid that as he understood the condi
tion of affairs in Hawaii, the provis
ional government was a do facto gov
eminent. As he understood interna
tional law, a de facto government
had all the rights of a de jure gov
erument whether that govern
ment was established rightfully or
wrongfully. It was to-day a do
facto government and any assault t
upon it by armed force on the part of
the United’-States or any other coun
try must be an act of war which could
only be brought about by the action
•>< congress. He did not un
derstand that the secretary of
itate meant that armed forco "y
would be employed. He was an
eminent jurist It seemed impossible
to him that the president of the United
States or the secretary of state could
have come to the conclusion to use
force without the action of congress.
Without talcing any action on the
Hawaiian resolution, the resolution
iubmiited by Mr. Morrill of Vermont
to refer • those parts of the presi
dent’s message relating to financial \
matters to the committee on flnanoe, ’’
was taken up and Mr. Morrill ad- ■ V
Iressed the senate thereon. £
No Tariff Caucus.
Washington, Dec. J4. — Although /■
forty members of the house have re
quested a caucus on the tariff bill, it
is not sure the request will bo acted
upon. Chairman Holman of the caucus,
to whom the request was presented,
Immediately held a conference with
Chairman Wilson of the ways
and means committee, but nothing
was definitely agreed upon, Mr. Hol
man being taken sick before tho con
ference ended. If Mr. llolinan should
not recover before the bill is reported .
it is not likely he will issue a
call for a caucus. It is known
that all the members of the
ways and means committee
and many of tho leaders of the house
on the Democratic side have no desire >
for a caucus. Some Democrats who
are most anxious to have changes
made in the schedules are opposed to..
a caucus They believe forty or fifty
Democratic can be found who will vote
with the Republicans and that there
by the bill can be amended in the '
house.
Among the member* who sigirad the. /
call for a caucus were: Morgan of Ml**'’'""'
