WA ittsoTos' , D C , April 14 The start
ling news from Hawaii of the hauling down
of the American Hag , It is ald. was the sub-
ect of an animated discussion at the cabinet
neeting today Sccretirv Oicshatn said
before golne in that ho hid received no
lews except that contained in the papers
mblishod this motnlng.
It is slid that in hauling down the Cuited
States Hag at Honolulu , Blouiit followed the
nstructions given him before leaving
icre to the letter , that the teason for
keeping the fact that ho was empowered
o do so secret was to prevent possible dlsor-
ler in the Islands and keep an } other foreign
country ftom stepping in unexpectedly.
It is contended , in view of the statements
from President Dole , that the provisional
government e-ould malnuin and protect
tself against assault from within ; that
he necessity for the presence of United
States marines ashore find the fling of
ho United States Hag has passed. There-
ore , It Is argued , Mr Blount was correct
n ordeiing marines to their boats and the
lag to bo hauled down , especially if the
ircscnen of the flag over the government
juilding In Honolulu , as stated , tended to
mpedo diplomatic relations between the
two countries and to embarrass negotiations
Comiiiinslontr C. rtrr sungulnr.
Mr. Charles U Carter , one of the Ha
waiian annexation commissioners , on being
isked if he had any news , replied in the
negative. Speaking of the lowerhr. of the
United State Hair b } Mr Blount's order , .Mi-
Carter said. "I do not think It means a re-
veisal of the iwlicy of the government as
expicssed bx the late adminlstia'ion. The
secretan's attitude was satisfactor } to tne
innexatioiiists and he promptly disavowed
the protectorate The force of marines w as
Ksted on dutvln ie = | K > nse to the request of
: ho provisional government , to protect pei-
sonsaud proper ! } against assaults ind danger
from the natives 'I he neeessit } for this has
pass-d , the annexation movement has
gained strength and members , and Piesi
dent Dole has announced that it was able to
mainUiin itself if not assailed from without
Therefore , the forces of the Ui Hod States
were no longer essential and with their re
moval of course , the Hag camedown WHat
we all regret is that events hive made it
uccessai } to pursue that course Wo had
doped that when it was OIHC hoisted that
annexation would be accomplished , and tnat
it might never again be hauled down "
Up to the hour of closing the Department
of State no information had been received
there regarding the action of Commissioner
Blount In the rourso of the ifternoou Mr
Carter had an interview with Secretar }
Gresham , which , he said , was "quite satis
factory. "
" 1 am not at all discouraeed over the sit
uation and believe wo shall come out all
right in the end , " said he That this is Mr
Carter's belief is brought out b } the fact
that ho arranged to make a tourof the south
to investigate the subject of neg'ro labor and
the probabilities of secuiiuff a supply from
that section of the countr } for Hawaii He
S3s , In explanation of this trip , that that
Xno.vleJgo is necessary to his government
and to the people of the islands before annex
ation with the Unite.1 State-s is consumma
ted , the present contract s\ stem , bv which
Chinese and Japanese laborers for the suitai
plantations of Hawaii aio secured , must be
abandoned and southern negro labor will be
the most available substitute
Opinions of the srimttir * .
The news from Hawaii attracted a great
leal of attention among senators , although
there was much reticence manifested when
an effort was made to draw out Democrats
refrained from giving utterance to what ap
peared to bo their real sentiments , and re
publicans said more for private ears than
they were willing to sec reproduced m cold
tvpe
Senator Palmer of Illinois sees no reason
for al.um in the action of Commissionei
Blount " 1 can scarc-el } see , " said the sen
ator , "that the act of Mr. Blount can bo
construed as an abandonment on the part of
the present administration of all Intentions
concerning the islands. It. to mv mind , sig
nifies rather that precaution , which the im
portance of the situation suggests , so that
the matter of annexation or the establish
ment of a pritectorate can be discussed with
sober deliberation. "
Mr Mori ill does not condemn the proceed
ings unqualified ! } , but it is easv to see that
lie disapproves of the act which icsulted in
the lowering of the American colors "It
ma\ come out all light. " he said "It mav be
tna't the administration vvants to be in a
position where it can act as it believes ,
fieeh and without prejudice "
"On general principles , " said Mr Proctor * ,
ex-secretary of war , "I believe in holding up
the Hag I ho ] > e the action of Commissioner
Blount does not menace the future of that
couutr } , nor the abandonment of the princi
ple to which the public has. up to this time ,
civen its heartv assent But Just what it
means 1 cannot sa } . and I presume vre must
wait until we are made aiquainted with all
the facts '
Seintor llolph' . Mew * .
Senator Dolph of Oregon said"It will
come out all right Mr Blount s action ma.v
be the simple result of a desire on Mr
Cleveland's part to put the negotiations on a
basis from which ho can de.-.l with the na
tive authorities .mow. 1 do not CM re to sa.v
anything that n 111 piejudice the case , and
knowllttloof the effect of the removal of
the protectorate , until the present informa
tion is reinforced b } something moro defi
nite. "
Senator Cullom deprecated the act of the
commissioner and said "I am surprised
that the democratic administration should
order the stars and stripes to be hauled
down. They have taken the Hag down
whenever the } had the opiwrtunit } , and
theie was a time when the } had it
down in the states for quite a while * .
The dominant ] > ewer in the democratic
partv caused the Hag to come down then in
the southern states and now the } arc per
forming the same act elsewhere It is nnt
the first time b } an } means that the demo
crats have ordered down the flag of this
countr } . "
"I am opposed to the annexation of
Hawaii" , said Mr Vest , "hut 1 do not see
an } thing in the action of Mr Blount that
affects the subject one wa } or the other
There is certain ! } nothing reprehensible in
his conduct , but I do think that the act of
Minister Stevens in establishing a protecto
rate is to be stroiigly.condemned. What
should bo done in the matter can bo better
determined after we have heard all the facts
from the commissioner on the giounJ. "
Will Not Appeal to Knslnnd.

at length. At noon the arguments were
finished and after the recess the court in
structed the Jury us to its procedure and the
law.
law.The
The information in thecasowas based on
section 1 of the criminal code and under its
provisions. If the Jury found that Anna B
Mason committed the ciimc and if she was
aided b } the defendant , a verdict of guilty
as charged should bo rendered. The acces
sory was as guilt } as the principal An ac
cessor } need not be present w hen the crime
is committed , but if a vvcawn was furnished
b } ail } one else , su h a person Is an accessory
in the meaning of the statute
The evidence presente-d by the tate ,
though circumstantial in na'.uie. the judge
declared , was just as i-onc'usivo ' and valid as
any which could be presented
Instructions were trivcn as to how the Jury
should weigh the testimony which was pre
sented and that the euilt of the accused
must bo prov en be } un 1 such a doubt as
to cause a man to reconsider his own action.
If the principal , Mrs Anna B Mason , had
been found guilt } of manslaughter , the de
fendant , if guilt } of aiding her , could also bo
found guilty of manslaughter The fact that
the defendant was of good character did
not entitle htm to an acquittal if other testi
mony tended to show that ho was guilt } of
thccrlme Such Ustimon } it was the duty
of the state to produce It was not the dut }
of the Jurv to theorbo If it found the de
fendant guilt } It must be b } finding no other
rational wa } of accounting for the circum
stances than upon the supiwsi tion that the de
fendant was guilt }
The ciicumstaiices must bo consistent w ith
his guilt and inconsistent with Ins innocence
The jury could eutiiel.v disre-Mid Mrs
Mason's tostimon.v if it found that previ
ous ! } she had testified contrar.v to her
present statement The lurv was to en
tirely disregard attorne.vs statements If
the defendant had abandoned his wife for
two } ears or more , it was to be presumed
tint he had no interest in what she did
theroalter.
Four forms of verdicts could bo given ,
iruilty of muider as charged , guiltv of
muider in the second degree , guilt } of man
