Washington, Nov. 22 Secretary ctresbam yesterday made public all the correspondence between the secre tary of state and James IL Blount, commissioner and, later, minister to the Hawaiian islands. Mr. Gresham, in giving this voluminous printed mat ter to the press, explained that it in cluded everything connected with Mr. Blount's mission to Hawaii with the exception of some statistical tables relating to the islands. The matter cons ats of three parts, the first be ginning with a copy of the instruc tions given Mr. Blount on March 11, 1803, prior to his departure from Washington for Honolulu, and the last part ending with a brief letter under date of July, 31, 1893, in which he takes his conge as follows: "The condition of parties 'in the islandn ia one of quiescence. The ac tion of the Uniied States is awaited by all as a matter of necessity. This condition, it can be assumed, will re main until the proposition to annex is accepted or rejected. In the latter contingency no sudden movement is likely to occur. The present govern ment can on y rest on a basis of mili tary force, possessed of most of the arms in the islands, with a small populatio i to draw from to strengthen it Ultimately it will fall without fail. It may preserve its existence for a year or two, but no longer," Then he a ids that he has done hi i duty as well as he could, "considering I was surrounded by persons inter ested in misleading," and his private affairs necessitated his return home Secretary Oresham's letter of in structions to Mr. Itlount, dated March 11, detine clearly how far, in the opin ion of the president, the use of armed force is er i.issible by the United States to pull down or set up govern ments. .Mr. Uresham says: "In the judgment of the president your authority, as well as that of the commander of the naval forces in Ha waiian waters, should be, and is lim ited in the use of physical force to such measures as are necessary to pro tect the persons ami property of our citizens; and while abstaining from any manner of interference with the domestic concerns of the islands, you should indicate your willingness to in tervene with your friendly offices in the interest of a peaceable settlement of troubles within the limit, of sound discretion. "Should it H Tit'cosary to land an armed force upon Uawa.ian territory on occasions of popular disturbance, when the authority may be unable to give adequate protection to the life and property to the citizens of the United States the assent of such au thority should at first be obtained, if it can be done without prejudice to the interests involved. "While the United States claim no right to interfere in the present or domestic affairs, or in the internation al conflicts of the Hawaiian islands otherwise than is herein stated, or for the purpose of maiota ning any treaty or other sites which they possess, this government will adhere to its con siktent and established policy in rela tion to them, and it will not acquiesce in diploma tic interference by other powers." Mr. Blount takes the position throughout in his report that the overthrow of the queen was aceo n jill-hed by a conspiracy between the foreigners opposed to her and Minister Stevens, who, he claims, agreed to and did land the United .Mates troop to support the tuovementa of the ton spire Lor. Ht May 4 Mr. Blount wrote: At tnU time the Indication an until! taksbla that a large majority of the ple of the UUoils are uttny oo ped to auiiesailon." r'urther on he says: "The leaders of the revoutiomry movement would not have undertaken It but for Mr. htewtt' irom.m to project them against any dur (mm the govern' ww hi. nut Mf ibts tiieir ih meet lug would not hart been held. lul for IhU no re-iueit to Uad (he troops would have Wen made. lUd the trps a t bn tended, no meanure fur tiie orfUUou of i nt govern aieat wou d iuve been takru Tit American Htiuisler and the revolution. art leader h l determined on anm - aMon V the Unlutd M'i, and kvl agreed uo the jmrt .a wa a act ta tde ri end " LINCOLN, NEB., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 1893. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER In concluding his report Mr. Blounl Bays: "That a deep wrong has beet done the queen and the native race by American officials pervades the na tive mind, and that of the queen, ns well as a hope for redress from the United States, there can be no doubt, Indeed, who could have supposed that the circumstances surrounding her could have been foreseen and sanc tioned deliberately by the president of the United States? Her uniform conduct and the prevailing statement among the nativea point to her belief aa well as theirs that the spirit of justice on the part of the president would restore her crown," That is the only thing in the nature of a recommendation made. The commissioner closes with a de scription, of the industries of the islands, scatlstics, comparisons of the races, changes in the conditions of the natives, anl Information tending to show that they have been badly treated.

General Jeremiah McLain Rusk, though born in Ohio, was generallv known and considered a "favorite son of W.scoumn, where he was familiarly known as "Uncle Jerry." To the public in general he was best known as Mr. Harrison's secretary of agriculture. He made a worthy rec ord in this cab net position, and his bluff, hearty way was popular witn the farmers. "Uncie Jerry" was 63 years old, a good otd age, and was a native of Morgan county, Ohio. He was the youngest of ten children born to Daniel and Jane Fakner Rusk. The lad gained h i meager early education in the achool near his home and grew to manhood on his father's farm. There was shown a strong love of things agricultural and, though he ufterward heid positions of honoi and re; usibi.lty, be practically never re linqu.shed his occupation as a fanner. The iducation which Mr. Rusk finally attained was gained chiefly by studious application in his older years. When he was 14 the father died, leav ing to bia care the mother and daugh ters; so he laid aside the plow and ae' cured a tositlon as driver of a stage coach running between Zanesville and Columbus, He was dextrous and used to boast that he could drive his coach, one of the old Concord stages, so that any wheel would strike a half dollar. It was at this period of bis nnreer that he met James A. Garfield, who was then driving a mule along an Ouio to v path, aud he often, I; U said, twitted the future president na he sped pat holding the reins over tour spirited horse In If 19 Mr. Hunk married Mary Martin of Ohio and two years later remove! to tv .scons' u, which auta had since been bis home. When the tvur broke out Mr, Rusk wa lu the legislature, but refused re leitU n itmt ho might enter the serv ice.

Ice was "rewarded by his being made brevet brigadier general of volunteers. lie was mustered out In June, 1865. After the war Mr. Rusk assumed prominent place In the Republican party of Wisconsin. In November of the same year he waa elected state bank comptroller and held the office until, on his own recommendation, it was abolished by amendment to the state constitution. In November, 1870, he was sent to congress with the largest majority ever given to a rep resentative from Wisconsin, tie served three terms with great credit He was a staunch friend of the old sol dler and voted against the salary grab bill. At the next state election he waa chosen governor of Wisconsin by about 13.0.10, this majority being In creiised to 19,0 )0 votes when he was re-elected to the same office in 1884. So uniformly popular was he as gov ernor that ho was three times honored by re-election, serving continuously from January, 1882, to January, 1889. During hi second term occurred the Milwaukee riots, but serious results were averted by his prompt action. He called out and assumed personal command of the militia and dispersed the rioters. Had the gr vernor of III InoU followed the same course the Uaymarket riot in Chicago might not Lave occurred. At the Republican national Conven tion of 1806, Mr. Rnsk's name was con sidered for the presidential nomina tion. When Mr. Harrison assumed office the cabinet position of secretary of agriculture which had just been created, was offered to and accepted by him. His long practical experience as a farmer admirably ntted nim lot the place, which he filled with the same success that attended his hold ing of other and lesser offices. It was he who introduced the inspection of pork, and it waa his active and aggres sive spirit that did so much in the in terest of American corn in Europe. Mr. Ilsrrlf on Deeply Grieved. Indianapolis, Intl., Nov. 22. Ex President Harrison received the sews of General Rusk's death this morning and was deeply affected. He ex pressed the deepest sorrow and at once scot Mrs. Rusk a telegram of con dolence. He stated that he would probably, with Ex-Attorney General Miller, attend the funeral of the ex- secretary. It is also potsib e that sev eral ex-cabinet members will attend the funeral. Wabhixotost, Nov. 21. The news of the death of Ex-Secretary Rusk was received by Secretary Morton just as he was leaving his office to attend a cabinet meeting. He at once ordered the fiag over the Agriculture building to ne piaced at naif mast out of. re spect to the dead secretary. BIO STORM IN THE WEST.

The searoh for the son of General Carlin, two New York friends and three camp attendants has been abandoned by the military authorities at this point, the expedition having been given up as hopeless. Every possible effort to rescue the party has been made, even to the ex tent of endangering the lives of the soldiers and the loss of animals. wagons and other equipments. The snow is too deep and Impenetrable in many places and wnere no snow ex ists the streams are too much swollen to admit of progress. In fact it is now feared that the rescuing party will be unable to return to Missoula as the Lolo river, which must be crossed about thirty-three times, Is impassable. ' General Carlin from Vancouver ex presses the belief that his son and companions are lost and will perish in the mountains, though he has offered a larira nersonai reward to tn ons who wilt venture on another attempt. There is still a possibility that the besieged party may have found safe shelter with an old trapper named Jerry, though this fact will not be ascertained until next spring. TO WORK FOR IRRIOATION.
