WASHINGTON , Nov. 17.-Tho expected
Arrival ut any moment ot the nnxt steamer
Irom Hawaii , the Australia , has had the
ulToi'tof doorwislmj to the lowest point the
nmount of speculation aim surmise which
has boon prevalent regarding the Hawaiian
question. Oniolalu of tlio State department ,
us well as the public nt large , feel that this
steamer will bring messages to the United
States authorities and the representatives of
the provisional government of the Hawaiian
islands which might controvert nil the
speculations that have been indulged In , and
bring definite Information of tlio situation at
Honolulu. Under these circumstances there
is absolutely no news , and It Is doubtful
whether ( hero will bo any until the arrival
of the steamer at San Francisco.
.Secretary Grcsham said today to an Asso
ciated press reprsontalivo that there was to
bo nothing further given to the press. This
disposes of the prevalent rumors that
Blount's report Is to bo made public.
Mnrv iif .Mr. AriiiHtronir.
N. A. Armstrong , nt ono tlmo attorney
general of the Hawaiian islands , tulUs Inter
estingly of the situation in the Hawaiian
islands. Ho said : "It scorned evident tome
mo as mucli as ten years ago that it was not
possible to maintain thu existing form of
government. Then tlio white pcoplo were
loyal to the monarchy beyond what the na
tives wero. As nnnattcr of fact the natives
were novcr in sympathy with the constitu
tional government that succeeded the rule
of superstition and blood right of th3 old
chiefs. The white people sustained it to
maintain the respect for the forms of law
and for the sake of a working form of gov
ernment. If at any time the whlto people's
support had been withdrawn , it would have
crumbled to pieces.
' In 1881 ICnlakaun invited mo to como to
Honolulu and my brother , General Arm
strong of the Hampton Indian institute ,
urged me to go , thinking I might do good. "
Honolulu had been the iiomo of Mr. Arm
strong's boyhood and his widowed mother
lived thcro at that time.
"I went , " iio continued , "after there had
been n period of disorder and change in the
government. I was made attorney general
and soon nftursvards Kulaltaua , startcp
around the world. I accompanied him.
Lllluokalani was appointed regent in the
king's absence. The late H. A. II. Carter ,
formerly Hawaiian minister nt Washington ,
acted as attorney general nd interim in my
place. Ono of the llrst things ho said to me
when we got back was if Liliuokuluni over
succeeded to the throne there was a world of
trouble for the people of tlio islands.

"Of course I had many opportunities to
talk with the king during our loujj trip. He
used to say that the Hawaiians ought to bo
brought forward moro. I told him tlmt ho
would not trust ono of them himself. Ho re
fused to have a native evoii for a chamber
lain. I tried hard to poiut out to him how
wlso it would bo to lot well enough nlouo
and tuko things as he found them. Ho kept
harping upon the superior numbers of the
natives. When he was elected the adher
ents of Queen Emma ( wife of Knnichameha ;
broke out into Insurrection , The natives
had always said of Kalakaua , 'Aolo uliu.1
'Ho is no chief. '

Irom MliiUtrr Willis into itortl"
"Why , certainly , it is not true. " said
Eccrutury Grcsham , "it is nonsense. "
Iio went on to cay that not only was this
not truo. but It was not true that anything
further hnd'bccn dispatched to Mr. Willis.
This assertion of the secretary SCCIIIR to
be meant as an intimation that Mr. Willis
has received Instructions and \ % . fully
equipped to act In nit contingencies.
Although the department has not its tugs
waiting outsida the harbor to gain time ,
thcro is a natural anxiety foil as the time
approaches for the arrival of the Australia
nt San Francisco with news of Mr. Willis'
movements. If the Monowal , which should
have started on Thursday , her schedule
time of departure , Is to .bo held over until
the arrival ot the Australia , she will prob
ably have to wait until tomorrow. The
Australia is an old ship , built on the Clyde ,
but she was rebuilt nt a cost of about ! 7. > , -

out of the docks four months ago practically

soy It is not true that Blount took tbo

Full statements , made up by monarchists ,
were tent to Blount , prepared with care ,
often by the aid of the skillful royalist
lawyers , who added or kept back facts so as
to make thn most plausible showing of their
claims. On tlio other hand , the provisional
government adherents waited until they
were called for before' making statements

for."Our
"Our Honolulu Informants further say
thai when all tlio facts about thu deposition
of the queen and the establishment' the
provisional povcrnnio.it shall bo made
known , n torrent of indignation will set in ,
overwhelming Cleveland's attempt to de
stroy iho existing government of Hawaii
and to restore the queen , who was deposed
because the intellltrenco and the property of
tbo country could not trust themselves to
her misguided , reckless government. It is
not enough , they say. If Cleveland has not
instructed Willis to instruct the marines to
lire on Americans , his public disavowal of
the oillcitil action of Stevens and Willis and
of Harrison's administration and his re
quirement or dcman J , it matters not which
lor ono ur-ictically includes the other , that
the ex-queen bo put ; back into power ,
are incitement to all evil elements
in Hawaii to. acts of violence against its
government and against law and order. If
such n case should follow , und if innocent
women and cnildren should suffer. God and
the American pconlo , including the bulk of
the democratic party , will hold President
Cleveland and his administration respon
sible. If harm shall como to ono American
in Honolulu from the conduct of President
Cleveland , the sensation that was caused
by the gun tired on Fort Sumtcr. will bo
duplicated , and this time not in the north
alone. President Cleveland and Ins cabinet
have plainly tailed to grasp either the legal
position or the true nature of the Hawaiian
situation.
"The estimated population of the Hawaiian
islands in October , 18'J1 , was 05,305. The
actual census taken December 23 , 1S90 ,
showed S'.l.UUO ' , including or composed of
about 40,000 Hawaiians. 15OODChinese , 12,000
( since increased to 20.00J ) Japanese , and
1.023 Americans ; Portuguese , 3,002 ;
Hawaiians born ot foreign parents , mostly
Americans , 7.405 ; Britons. 1.344 ; .Germans ,
1,034 , and u few hundred foreigners of other
nationalities. With the population so made
up , It is nothing short of reckless , Insane ,
wicked folly , to , tak04 the course exposing
the small foreign population to tlio terrors
of anarchy. What can u few hundred
marines do.to . stop incendiarism and secret
assassination ? If Cleveland's orders do not
KO out now to undo as far as may bo the
wicked sucrgcBtions in Iho Grcsham letter ,
ho may find that the curses , both loud und

Sunntor Potter TaUes Inception to Its Attl-
tnclo to Ilxirali.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 17. Senator Poffor
takes a decided stand against the present
position of iho United States government
toward Hawaii. "In the first place the no-
tlco which our government was given of the
change of government in the islands was a
sufllcicnt showing that a successful revolu
tion had been effected. That Is as far back
as It is necessary or wise for the administra
tion to go in tracing mo history 01 the
change. Tlioro is 110111101 ; to show that the
citizima of the United States were in any
forcible way instrumental In bringing about
the change. Assuming this to be true It is
the business of the United States to treat
the situation as it was found to exist when
the negotiations were begun by the pro
visional government and the proper thing to
do now is to acknowledge tha existing gov
ernment as the right government of the
Islands , to treat with Its ofllclals In insisting
on such privileges as wo Imvo enjoyed in the
harbors , and to recommend that the deposed
queen bo properly cared for during her Ufa-
time. "
Mr. Potter docs not concur In the proposi
tion to make the Hawaiian islands a part of
the United States , but thinks wo can obtain
all tlio maritime advantages wo need by
treating with the present government upon
the condition that if this government llrst
protect the independence of the present
government in the Islands tlmy will protect
the independence ! of the islands In the
future.
"I do not bollovo tlmt any considerable
portion of the people of the United States
would favor ttio deposition of the present
government and the restoration of the
monarchy. When Iho revolution of a fow-
years ago in .Brazil was announced there was
no hesitancy upon tlio part of our govern
ment or any other government in giving un
early recognition of the change , Had our
then existing administration undertaken to
set aside the new government and to reinstate -
state the old it would have been disgraced. "

Not I.llicly to favor tlio Fishery *
The sundry civil appropriation act of Au
gust fi , 1S'J2 , contained u clause appropriat
ing $1,000 for the purpose of enabling the
iish commissioner to inquire into the advis
ability of establishing llsh hatching sta
tions in Iowa. Nebraska and South Dakota.
Prof. B. F. Evcrinanii has made careful in
quiries in the thrco slates named and lias
personally looked over the sites proposed
in all three. Ho is at present engaged in
preparing his report , which will bo sub
mitted to congress by the llsh commissioner.
.Congress has not yet ma.lo an appropriation
for a station ir. either of the three states ,
and v.-bothcr or not the appropriation will bo
forthcoming depends altogether upon the
.report of Prof. { 2verrannn and the recom
mendations of the commissioner. It is
scarcely lilicly that congress will authorize
the three stations , and it is oven doubtful if
the commissioner will favor the idea of a
northwestern station for all-these states.
It Is apparent from conversations with ofli-
cials of the commission that the policy of
Colonel McDonald is not to multiply stations
in the interior , and consequently it is highly
improbable that ho will recommend a
hatchery for cither Nebraska , Iowa or South
Dakota.

escorted them into his private rooms , while
awaiting the opening of the conference.
The conference was formally opened soon
after 11 o'clock by Earl Uosohory , who
made an admirable speech , tending to pour
oil upon the troubled waters , to the assem
bled owners of coal mines anil the repre
sentatives of their striking employes.
The dilllcultlcs between the coal mlno
owners and the miners' wore settled this
afternoon.
The men will resume work on Monday at
the old rates until February next , when a
board of conciliation will bo formed.
Iteaolurloni Adopted.
The conference adopted the following reso
lutions :
First -That n board of conciliation bo estab
lished forthwith , which shall last at limst ono

The representatives of the owners pro
pose the men resume work at a 10 per cent
reduction until March , when their wages
for the future should bo ilxcd by the board
mentioned. The miners declined to accept
these terms and insisted they should recom
mence work ut the old rates. They agreed ,
however , that any now rate decided upon
should commence in March instead of in
April , as they originally demanded. At last
a solution was arrived at by the adoption of
the above resolutions.
Will l.onvo it tii'Ilic Ilonrd.
Lord Kosebcry then suggested that the
ooportunlty was favorable to decide upon u
minimum ratoof wages. This proposition
was not accepted by the mine owners , and it
was agreed the question Hhould bo left for
settlement by the board of conciliation.
Mr. Burns , thu Ubor leader , said the suc
cess of the government's intervention was
most important , as it would encourage an
appeal to similar influences whoa strikes oc
curred in the future , fie said the result
kills , the cpntenjion of thu employers that

'
won a magnificent'victory , .
The news of tlic settlement of the miners'
strike created the greatest joy in the mining
districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire. The
rclicl funds had been almost exhausted and
the people were desperate. In some places
, hc rejoicings have bean almost frenzied.
Jliurch bells were rang and the people in-
Inlgcd iu dancing , singing and in other ac
tions to express their jubilation at the end
of the long struggle.

The Herald's correspondent in Hlo .lanelro ,

ment has made tlio formal announcement
that the federal troops have taken posses
sion of the entire province of Santa

of that mime. The capital city ot the
Island of Santa Cathcrma Is Dosterro ,
where the Insurgents Imvo sot up
their provisional government. This
still remains In their hands. It is
not believed that the land forces of Polxoto
ran capture the island , as It is well defended
by the rebel warships and I'olxoto has no
vessels ho could trust to carry his men from

ing Ilia Ordur lltiV to Act.
PIIII.AI > KU'IIIA , Nov. 17. The fourth day
of the Knights of Labor general ussombly
was the liveliest yet. General Master
Workman Powdorly made scorching denun
ciations of certain men in tho.order.and a
general denial of the ohargcs made by Sec
retary-Treasurer Hayes.Ho talked for a
long time about the state of the order and
its future prospect.
As usual the meeting was secret , and the
reporters were referred to A. S. Wrosloy of
Beaver Dam. ICy. , editor of the Kentucky
Industrialist and a member of the press
committee. Mr. Wroslcy said the greater
part of the time this morning was taken up
with the correcting of tlio minutes. The
only question up to this morning , ho said ,
was a proposed'change in the constitution
by which the delegates shall hereafter be
elected by popmur voio nibieaa ol troni cen
tral organizations , as at present. The new
plan is favornd by many , but is opposed by
some , and no action was taken upon it.
In the afternoon Mr. Powdcrly resumed
his address. Ho said , very plainly , that
some ono was divulging the secret delibera
tions of tlio assembly , both to newspapers
and individuals , and recommended that
measures bo adopted by delegates in person
who were not guilty of this to endeavor to
have the practice stopped. This created no
little comment and the usual protestations
of Innocence from all.
Mr. Powdcrly also denounced the charges
made by Secretary-Treasurer Hayes as ab
solutely and unquallllcdly false. ITo said
thcro had been no misappropriation of funds
donated for the rt.liof of strikers and that
each and ovoryaet of tlio executive board
was open to inspection. He explained where
and how all the money said , to Imvo been
misappropriated was used. Ho then appealed
to the general assembly and asked if they
were not satlslled with his explanation.
Ho intimated charges and false reports
were given to newspapers by persons who
had a grievance , real or fancied , against the
members of tlio oxecutlvo board , and in un
measured terms denounced such proceedings
as unworthy of n knight.
On ills views looking toward the amal
gamation of the knights with Iu ml rod organ
izations ho elaborated qulto extensively.
Ho stated ho had the personal assurances
from oftlcials of several of the trade labor
organizations tho.y would take immediate
steps to set the matter properly before their
respective associations.
A committee was'appolntod to confer on
