of that day In the manifestation of thotr
disappointment and loss of power through

"In the legislatures of 1801 nnd 1803 many
petitions were filed asking for n now eon-
stlttition , Many were presented to the
queen. The discontent with the constitu
tion of 1887 nnd tlio eagerness to cscapo from
It. controlled the elections ngainst the party
which had established It. Divisions on the
mode of changing the constitution , whether
bv legislative action or by constitutional con
vention and the necessity of a two-thirds
vote of the legislature tr < ( Tcct amendments ,
prevented relief by cither method. Such
was the situation at the prorogation of the
Icclslaturo of 18H2.
This was followed by the usual cere
monies at the palace on the dav of proroga
tion , the prcsonco of the cabinet , supreme

ooso to proclaim a now constitution nnd ret -
t jucitcd them to sign it.1
He then tells how the cabinet refused to
tlgu the constitution and the dlscomlHuro of
: ho queon. On January 10 a proclamation
was signed by the queen and her friends say-
ng that what she had proposed to do on
the Saturday previous , she was compelled
to bv stress of liev native s-ibjccts. This
was sent to Minister Stevens , to winch there
ivas no response. On the 17th she sent
mother letter telling him the present con-
itltution would bo maintained. On the back
5f this was written the word " "declined , "
Use the time received noted.
Description of tlio Itcvnlullon.
Mr. Ulount says1 the cablnol could not bo
removed for two years , and it being against
i now constitution there was no possibility
sf it bolng proclaimed. His description of
the revolution is as follows :
"Nearly all of the arini on the Island of
Dahu , in which Honolulu is situated , were
in the possession of the queen's government.
A military force organized and drilled occu
pied the station house , the barracks and the
pala'cc the only points of strategic signiii-
canco.iu.tho.ovcut of a conflict. The great
Dody of the people moved on in their usual
course.Vomen nnd children passed to and
fro through the streets , senningly uncon-
icioiis of any impending danger , and yet
there were secret conferences held by a
linall body of men , some of whom were Ger
mans , some Americans , some native born
subjects of foreign oripin. On Saturday
evening , the 1-lth of January , they toolc up
the subject of dethroning the queen nnd pro-
rlalmiiiga now government with a view of
annexation to the United States. The
first and -most momentous question
was to devise some plan to have
the United States troops landed. Mr.
Thpniton , who.appears to have been the
leading spirit , on Sunday sought-tncmbcrs of
the queen's cabinet and urged them to head
a movement ngainst the queen and to ask
Mr. Stevens to land the troops , assuring
thorn that in such an event Mr. Stevens
would do so.
"Failing to enlist the queen's cabinet in
the cause , it was necessary to devise some
other mode to accomplish this mirposc. A
* committee of safety , consisting of thirteen
mcmbprs , had been formed from a little
body ; .of inm assembled in W. N. Smith's
ofllcc.'h deputation' jf thcso informing Mr
Btovonsof.tholr plana.ai.idarranging withhm
'
to land tho' troops w/ion / they asked it "fot
the purpose of protecting llfo und property.
fr JTho I'tot Thickens. , r
i'Jt was agreed bntwcon him and tnom
that in the event they should ocu.ipy the
government building ana proclaim a now
government he would recognize it. Two
mom hers of the committee , TUurston ami
Smith , growing uneasy as to tin- safety of
their persons , went to him to know if he
would protect them in the event ot their ar
rest by the authorities , to which IIOK.IVO his
assent.
"At the mass mooting called by ttio com
mittee of safety on the 10th of January
there was no communication to the crowd of
a purposa to revolt , but only to nutliorixc thu
committee to tnko steps to prevent a con
summation of tha queen's purposes and to
have guarantees of publiosafety.
' The committee of public salcty had kept
their purpose from the public from fear of
the authorities. After the mass meeting
closed a call on the .American minister for
troops was made and signed indiscriminately
by Uonmins and Americans , also by
Hawaiian subjects of foreign extraction. "
Tlio commissioner says : "Tho response to
that call does not appear on the llius of the
legation. That very night the committee of
public safety assembled lu a house next to
Minister Stevens' residence. J. II. Sopor ,
an American , was elected to command thu
nillitnry forces. It wns on Monday even
ing , January 1(5 ( , at 5 o'clock that the United
States troops were landed. Not much time
qlapscd baforu it was given out by the com
mittee of safety that they were designed to
iiupport thorn. At the p.iluce. with thu
qablnct amongst the leader * of the queen's
militia and the great body of people who
were loyal to tlio queen , tlio apprehension
came that it was a move hostile to tlio ex
isting government. Protests were filed by
the minister of foreigiraHViiia nnd the gov
ernor of tlio Islands ugulnst landing troops.

"Messrs , Parker and' Peterson testified

"Air. Stevens consulted freely wllh the
lenders Of the revolutionary movement from
ho evening of the Hth. They disclosed to
ilm all Iholr plans. They feared nrresl nnd
nirilshmcnt. Ho promised tl.om protection.
I'hoy needed the troops on shore to overawe
he queen's supporters nnd government.
This ho agreed to and did furnish. They
ind few arms and no trained soldiers. They
did not mean to fight. It was arranged bo-
twee'n them that the proclamation dothron-
ng the queen and organizing a provisional
o'ovornmont should bo road from the govern
ment building nnd Slovens would follow it
vrlthnspoody recognition. All this was to
bo done with American troops , provided
with small arms anu artillery , across a
narrow street within n stone's throw. This
was dono. The loaders of the revolutionary
movement would not have undertaken It but
'or Mr. Slovens' promise to protect thorn
against any danror from iho government.
But for this their mass mooting would not
mvo been hold. But for this , no request to
.and troops would have been mado. Had
the troops not boon landed no measures for
iho organization of n now government would
nave boon taken. The American minister
and the revolutionary leaders had deter
mined on annexation to the United Stales
ind had agreed on the part each was to act
, o this end. "

Mr. Blount says the natlvo race feel that
a great wrong has boon done thorn and their
queon. When iho queen resigned If was
under protest , nnd she did not bullovo the
notion of Stevens would bo endorsed. Ho
adds : "Indeed , who would have supposed
that the circumstances surrounding her
could have been foreseen nnd sanctioned
deliberately by the president of the United
Stales ? Her uniform conducl and the pro-
vaillncscntimnnt among the natives point
to bur belief , as well ns tholrs , tnat the
splrll of Justice on the part of the presldon
would restore her crown. "
That Is thu only thing in the nature of a
recommendation made.

In arriving nt these conclusions Commis

about 4 o'clock in the forenoon of Monday ,

formation of a new government. Shortly
after the commltleo mot llie.y decided ihey
were pot. . for iho landing of iho American
Iroops , and a commilleo of throe , with
Thurston as chairman , was at once dis
patched to the Amejrican legation lo prevail
upon Minister elevens to delay tlio landing1
of the Boston's men. The committee ro -
turned shortly nnd said that Minister
Stevens had said to them : 'Gentlemen ,
thu troops of the Boston land at 5 o'clock
this afternoon whether you are readj for
Ihem or not. '
"Tlio committee of safety adjourned to
meet the same evening at the house of Mr.
Henry Waterhouso at 7:30 : o'clock. The
American troops landed at 5 o'clock , ns Mr.
Slovens told the committee they would , and
marched up Fort street to Merchant street ,
along Merchant street , halting in King
struct between the palace nnd govcinmcnt
building. At tlio time iho men landed iho
. town was perfectly quiet , business hours
were about over and the people were in tno
streets. Nothing unusual was to bo seen ex
cept tlio landinc of a formidable armed rorco
with Galling guis : , evidently fully prepared
to remain on shore -in indefinite length of
time , as the men were supplied with double
cartridge Dolls filled wilh ammunition , also
i havcrsaclts itml canteens , nnd were attended
by u hospital corps with stretchers and med
ical supplies. Tlio curiosity of tliu people on
tlio streets wns aroused and tlio youngsters
moro particularly followed the troops to see
what it was all about. Nobody sconiod to
know , so when the troops found quarters
the people dispersed , most of them going to
the band concert at the hotult which was
very fully attended , as it was tt'bright moon
light night , all who were not in the secret
wondering at the military demonstration.

"Tho committee mot at Mr. Waterhouso's
rnsidcnco that evening at 7UO.Tlio forma
tion of Borne sort of a government was under
discussion , and it was decided a commander-
in-chief of the forces supporting the pro
posed now government should bu appointed.
The position was offered to John II. Sopor
wno demurred , not seeing any backing
whatever to support tlio movement. Mr.
Soper was answered by members of the com-
mlllce lhat the American minister would
support tlio move with the troops of the
Boston. Mr. Soper still doubled , so a
couple of iho conunitleoscortcd him over to
the legation , which , by the way , was in the

back .after a time reporting that Mr.
Stevens had given them full assurance that

forward nt the government building or any
other building in Honolulu for that mailer ,
would rccclvo his immediate recognition
and the support of the forces of the Boston.
"This assurance scemo.J to satisfy Mr.
Soper and ho accepted tlio position. On

Mr. Blount also ejiids to the Slate depart
ment an account ofi ions Interview had by
Him with S. A , .Damon , who Li president of
the advisory council of the provisional gov
ernment , The report of the Inlorviovv was
signed bv Mr. D.imon as bolus ; correct. Ho
wns ono of the mon who wt-nt up to the
government house Tuesday afternoon , Janu-
: iry 17 , to re. d the pro.lam1lion declaring
the queen deposed and a new Kovernmeut In
control. Mr. Daman corroborates tno stale-
ment made by Mr. luiidcnburff. .
In response to Mr. Blouut'a questions , Mr.
Damon Balu-tfiat ho and another member of
theiuvolullomiry couimiltco went to the
station house tn.hold a conference , wltn the
queen's representative * , .
Mr. Blount endeavored to draw from Mr.
Damon an admlsson that tbo argument used
to tmtuco the queen's ministers to surrender
was that United
Stales iroops were across
islr.utt Irom lll ° government building
and lu full sympathy with the revolution.
.Mr. Damon unwillingly admitted that this
was Iruo , saying : "Whllo I was in thd
station house a man named Dowlor Raid tome
mo , 'Wo are nil prepared to resist , but I will
never fight against the American flag. ' "
.Again being pressed for Information ns to
\vhothcr tno sympathy of tno United States
minister tvas talked about , Mr. Damon ro-
[ iHcd : "I cannot remember nny doflnlto
thing , but from Mr. Bowler's remark they
must have thought the United States troops
were bore for some purpose. While wo were
in the government building and during the
reading of the proclamation nnd whllo wo
were nil extremely nervoUs ns to our personal
safety , I asked ono of the mon with rae ihore ,
Will not the American troops support list'
Troops Wol-o Not There.
' 'Finally I asked ono of the mon to eo over
and ask Lieutenant Swinburne If ho was not
? oing to send some ono over to protect Us.
The man returned anil said : 'Captain
Wlltzo's orders are to remain passive. ' I
was perfectly nonplussed nt not receiving
their support. 1 could not imagine why wo
were there without being supported by the
American troops. . Wo were there Hlftoon or
twenty minutes without their supporting us
In nnv way. "
Befnir asked what was accomplished by
the first visit to thu station house , Mr.
Damon nt length replied : "Tho queen's
ministers virtually gave it up , They said If
they had only the provisional government to
contend with nnd the forces of the pro
visional government they would not surren
der. They felt they could moot the emer
gency so far as the provisional government
wns concerned , but as it was they were will
ing to yield , and the queen nnd I wont along
with thorn to the palaco. Wo all mot in the
blue room. There were present the queen ,
two youn ? princes , four ministers , Judge
Wlddemnn , Paul Neumann , J. O. Carter , K.
C. McFarland and myseif. Wo went over
between and 5 , nnd remained till 0. Wo
asked for n surrender , and thu ministers ad
vised It. At flrst Judge Wlddotnann opposed
the idea , butyieldcd when Mr. Neumann din.
It was tno queen's idea that she could sur
render pending a settlement at Washington.
It xvas on that condition that she gave up.
I told her she could surrender or abdicate
under protest. "
I'ertlnonc Qucitlnns Aniwcrod.
"Was Oie queen advised by her ministers
to surrender because the sympathy of the
United Stains was with the revolutionists ! "
'I know it wns the queen's idea that Mr.
Sto\cus was in sympathy with this move
ment. The queen was reluctant to sli'ii the
abdication , but did so On the irrouml that It
would all come up for review at Washington.
I told her so myscl' . H was the best terms
of settlement wo could get. I took it to
President Dele nnd ho received and endorsed
it. "
"How long after that was it before the
provisional government was recognized ! "
"Mr. Stevens sent Cndtit Prlnglo , his
aide , and Captain Wiltzeiscnt ono Of his
ofilccrs to cxiuulno personally the building
and report If the provisional government
was in aetual possession. Thatwasdono bo-
twecn4 and ! ) in > the afternoon. Tho-Intur-
vlow with iho queen took place between 4
and 0. "
"Now when this interview was going on
between you , the cabinet ofllcers and the
queen , it was known then that the govern
ment had been recognized ! "
"I do not think that the queen was told. I
do not remember it havinc been spoken of. "
"Did you know lit"
"I think I know it. "
"What I mean is this : Before you took
the mcssacoof the queen back , this protest ,
the provisional government him been recog
nized ? "
"Yes. "
"Had that been at the time you loft the
government house to go with the cabinet

'If my memory serves nio aright It had , "
Commissioner Blount had a long Interview

"Yes. "

a lotler giving his version 8f ihe'cvcntsjof
January 17'us follows : > ' " - " > '
"At 0:110 : o'clock on > the oveniug of Hint
day ; I was- called to the government 'build

Carter , S. M. Damon nnd twOnty'or thirty
other leading mon. There -vas n irrcat deul
of excitement. They told me that Minister
Stevens hud rccognUcd the new govern
uicnt. I was asked to go with a commit too
to the pal.ico to inform her majesty tint she
was doposod. I joined Hie party lieadcci by
j > lr. Damon and proceeded to the palarto.
"Mr. Damon informed her uiujestyof the
establishment of a provisional government
and of her being deposed , nnd that she might
prepare a protest if she wished lo. An
awkward pause followed , which I broku by
addressing her majesty , expressing
sympathy and advising her that any demon
stration on the i ) irt of her forces would
precipitate a conflict with the forces of the
United States , that it was desirable that
such conflict bo avoided , that her case
would bo considered at Washington and a
peaceful submission to force on her part
wouldgreatly help her cause.
1. A. Avlddouiann addressed her majestyv
saying thai ho believed that tha result would
bn a repetition of tt o sceucs of IWJ , when
the sovereign nnd the flag were restored to
Hawaii by Great Britain , I was moved to
nuvlso her majesty as I did because it was
reported on the streets that Minister Stevens
nad said that If tlio revolutionists obtained
possession of the government buildings ho
would recognize them ns a government. I
saw that the building was in , possession of
armed men and knew that the forces at the
Boston were near at hand and lhat recognli
lion was n fact. Word was sent to Marslnl
Wilson to disband the force at the fetation
house , surrender the buildinc ; , arms and
ammunition. Marshal Wilson refused to
pivo up thu btatiou house except on the writ
ten command of her majesty. The order was
prepared , signed by the queen and sent to
the marshal. The nrotest of iho queen was
placed in the hands of President Dolo'and I
saw that ho endorsed the document as re
ceived In duo form. J , O. CAHTCII. "
Ono or ilia DimcuUlrH.
In his report to the Stale department May
"G , Commissioner Blount describes at some
length the difficulties wliluh ho encountered
in obtaining Steven : , ' copies of correspond
ence witli the Hawaiian government * Mr.
Blount.adds ;
"This same diniculty occurred wlion I
called upon htm for the communication from
the uommlttuo of safety asking for the landing -
ing of troops from the Boiton , When Mr.
Stevens linnlly turned over tbo records of
correspondence- admitted ho had recog
nized tlio present government before the
barracks and station bouse had been sur
rendered , but urged that ho did not consider
lliolr surrender of any importance.
"In my last dispatch , Lieutenant Svln-
burno llxea this surrender of thu station
house at about 7W : ! o'clock. This morning
ho called aim informed mo that Lieutenant
Draper had bald to hlnf tho. station house
was tnot "surrendered lill aflor dark. I en.
close Draper's statement. ,
'I consider il Is now established that Mr ,
Slovens recognized the provisional govern
ment before the barracks nnd station house
hail been surrendered. '
"Boforo the committee of thirteen wen tup
to proclaim the provisional government they
sent a gentleman to see if there were any
troops in the government building. On learn
ing tlioro were none , the committee went up
in two or moro squads , and , uniting at thu
government bulldini ; , read their proclama
tion. Without making nny donmna for the
surrender of the palace. In which were the
queen and her friends wild some fifty sol
diers , the barracks a lit lie beyond the palacu
with about eighty men well equipped with
small arms and artillery , und the station
houso. some COO yards olT , occupied by 'MO
men well armed and equipped , they imkod
and obtained from the American minister
recognition as a government do facto. On
this basis the minds of iho cabinet nud queen
were operated on togivo up the barracks and
station house and have her surrender to tno
provisional government. In this way the
revolution reached its solution , " '
When tliolruojii Weru
Commissioner Blount submits the original
dopy of Mr. Slovens' note , dated the lOtli ]
asking for the use of the opera house hall
for CautaiuVlltto and his men. The agent
of the hall declined the usu thereof because
the building hud bcun damaged during the
Wilcox insurrection of 1BSU.
Commissioner Blount continues : "This
building , Uoutooaut Swinournc informs mo ,
was agreed upou on board the Boston before
the troops wore landed as the best place for
the location of Iho men. He suggested on ship
board that the mon be quartered near the
wharf so as to bo near their base of supplies ,
the name thing h rtng been done when Ad
miral Skorrott landrtlitroons in 1874.
Captain Wlllroftttd Mr. Slovens thought
it bolter that they should bo located In the
opera houso. Falling to get this bulldlnir ,
Arion hall , which hiiH a line with It and ad-
loins It , nnd is across the street from the
government building- was obtained. The
men were placed In the roar of Arion hall ,
but. in full view uP the palaco. A slroot in
tervened botwoorf'tno government building
nnd the palace. Itiwns about 550 yards from
ono of these buildings , to the oilier.
"Tho American "troops were on thb same
sldo of the street .with the provisional
government troops , which did not number
100 men. If the queen's troops should have
attacked the provisional government's troops
our men were in .danger of being Injured ,
which might hnvo'brought them into col
lision with the queen's troops. The saino is
true of the pro-visional government troops ,
had n fight taken placo. The iroops were
there lo proloot American property nnd
citizens. Their location at this place unfor
tunately signified a different purpose. The
queen , her cabinet nnd her followers un
doubtedly bollovod from the location of the
American troops nud the quick recognition
of tlio provisional government by Air.
Stevens that the United Stales Iroops
would aid Iho provisional government. "
AVIint Sknrratt ThmiRht of It.
Admiral Skorrott addressed the following
to Mr. Blount : *
"I have examined , with n view of inspec
tion , the promises llrst occupied by the
forces landed from the U. S. S. Boston
known ns Arion hall , situated on thu west
sldo of the government building. The nosl-
tion of this is location In the rear of a largo
brick building known ns Music hall. Tno
street it faces Is a comparatively narrow ono ,
the building itself facing the government
bulldlnir. In my opinion It was uludvisablo
to locate the troops there If they wore landed
to protect American citizens , being removed
from the business part of the town und Jar
from the United States legation as well ns
being distant from the houses nrtd residences
of United States citizens. Had the pro
visional government troops been attacked
from the cast such attack would have placed
them In the line of fire.
"Had the Music hall boon secured by the
queen's troops they would have been under
their fire had such been thnlr desire. It Is
for these reasons I consider the position oc
cupied ns Illy selected. Naturally , If they
were landed to support the provisional
government troops then occupying the
government building , it was a wise choice ,
ns they could qnfllado any troous attacking
them from the palace grounds in front.
' There is nolhlng further for mo lo say ,
and as It has been called by you lo my at
tention , nil Is submitted for your considera
tion. J. S. SKEIUIKTT ,

From the ItojullU Standpoint.
Mr. Cornwall- ! , member of the queen's
cabinet , made a stulument detailing ; the
facts leading to the proclamation and at.-
tcndant thereon in which ho says :
"On Sunday morning , January 15 , Mr.
Thurstou , the head of the revolutionary
party , called upon my 'colleagues , Ministers
Colnurn und Potcrs , and asked them to join
with himself and others in deposing the
queen , assuring them such a movement
would be sifc , as Minister Stevens had
promised the support of the Uniled Slales
forces nnd also thai ho would recognize anu
support a provisional government us soon as
such a stop could'bb taken ,
"OniTuesday , th ? | 7ti | , wo were informed
the insurgents wo ld-procliilm n provisional
government In thelrtcrnoonand : the cablnqt
called upon Minister1 Stevens , asking him if
ho would afford auj'Sissistance lo tuo legal
nnd lawful governmentto which ho was
accredited ia case such help should bo re
quired. He refund ; and made us under
stand ho would acknowledge the revolu
tionary government.04 ; soon as it was estab'
lishod. " ? , j
Mr. Cornwall explains the government
did not place foi-cus.iin the government
buildings because of tbp presence of United
States troops across UJQ street. Wo realized
then , said ho , thai any vteps from our slda
to dislodge and arrest the rebels would bo
unavoidably fatal illid'lfcart -iroublo with
the United States > troqp.s. , -
"It jvas after ,7.jp'clock p. m. when the
arms and nmhiunllfon'oT the qucen.'s govern
ment ' 'wiik turned.-16rior to. the provisional
govoriimcnt'or aboUt'lhrcD hours after Min
ister Stevens had recognized the revolution
ary government. " .
In a letter to-tlio State department dated
May 24 , Mr , Blount denies the allegation
that improper relations existed between
Marshal Wilson-anil the queen.
In a letter to the State department datert
June 17 , 1893 , Mr. Ulount says : "It may beef
of interest to knmv that in an examination
this afternoon of Colonel Sopor , command
ing the military foices of the provisional
government since January 17 last , he staled
lhat a meeling at the house of ilenry
Wnterhouse , January 10 , composed of iho
committee of safety and-some persons called
in , ho was offered the command of Iho mili
tary forces , lhat ho declined to accept it
till the next day , that at this meeting it was
accepted as truu that1 Mr. Stevens bad
agreed to rocogniro the revolt when the
party secured the govcrnmenl building , that

A'r. Slovens said ho firmly adhered to all
his previous statements in his Sun Francisco
and Augusta letters addressed to the coun
try , and in his open loiter of last week lo
Secretary Oresham. He expressed pro it
surprise at Iho Inneutigo of Mr. Blount as to
Mr. Slovens' unwillingness to show him tlio
records of the legation. Mr. Stevens says
ho feels himself at liberty lo cxposo Mr ,

Mr. Slovens says , the publication of which
will astonish all Honorable minds , bringing
to Mr. Stevens no censure unless it bo that
he tolerated such Insulting treatment with

BOARD OF EDUCATION TAKES ACTION
Mr. Klgutter Hrorcn tlio Superintendent of

rinnnco Cnminlttno ItcporU Other
Trnnnuctecl.
It is settled that the administration of
Samuel Maclood , superintendent of bulla-
tngs for the Board of ICuucattoti , will bo In
vestigated. In was settled last night by the
board after a good deal of talk and several
roll calls.
The secretary had not proceeded far in
reading reports from ofllcers of the schools
nnd of thu board until ho struck a communi
cation from Superintendent Maclood readIng -
Ing as follows :
Whereas , Certain charges have been made
In open board meeting ajMinst my administra
tion of affairs ns superintendent o ( buildings ,
I therefore nslc that n committee bo appointed
nnd directed to Investigate fully and thor
oughly nny and nil of my acts as such super
intendent ot buildings and that they bo di
rected to make report thereon nsHpoodlly as
possible , that the trulh may bo made known.
As soon as this was read Mr. Alcln moved
that the com muntcatlon bo referred lo a
commilleo of live , to bo appointed by the
president , lo which committee should also
bo referred without debate any and all
charges which might bo presented to the
board ncatnst the superintendent of build-
Ines ; that such charges should bo In writing
and signed by the person proforrinc them ;
that upon the referring of the chnrges the
committee should make a full and fair in
vestigation thereof and report the result of
the investigation to the board at its earltosl
convenience.
Mr. Elgutter at once moved n subslllulo ,
signed by himself , Morrison and Sinylhn as
the committee on bulldiutrs and property.
It was :

I''ti\orcil ' n J'ubilc Investigation.
Mr. Coryell liked the substitute offered
because it made specific charges , though ho
uellovcd that an investigation could bo prop
erly conducted by a committed of five. Ho
thought the investigation should no public ,
and wus in favor of A kin's motion , provided
the charges made in the substitute wore in
corporated in It.
Mr. Morrison said that the matter was
sucli n serious ono thai II should bo consid
ered by iho whole board. Ho thoutrlit thai
this would aocnru a thorough and impartial
hearing of the charges and prevent a wlilto-
wash.
Mr. Gibson favored Iho hearing of iho
charges by n committee of five. This was
the only way to got directly at the matter.
The Investigation would require time which
every member of the board could not give ,
though uuy inemucr of the board might ut-
lend Iho bluings of the committee.
Mr. Elgutlcr did not insist on a commjttoo
of Iho whole nnd changed Iho substitute seas
as to provide for a commilleo of 11 vo wilh
open meetings. Ho was strongly opposed lo
u ilnr chamber proceeding.
Mr. Smjlhosuid that he believed it wguld
bo fair to Mnclcod > und fair to all if n com-
mltteo of five should muko Iho investigation
ofull charges , using these made by the com
mil too on buildings and properly as a basis ,
nnd make its reports on facts without
recommendations. Ho was also in favor ol
iho appropriation of ilOO for expenses.
The substitute was lost by the following
vote :
Yeas Burgess , Coryoll , Klgutter , Mor
risen and Smylho 5.
Nays Akin , Gibson , Jayncs , Kuodell ,
Pierson , Thomas and Powell 7.
G. E. Babeook , W. N. B&bcock and Dr.
Duryea were absent.
Speaking on the question of the passage of
Akln'a motion , Mr , Coryoll stated thai ho
thought no fair aim thorough Investigation
could bo made under the motion. No spo-
cilio charges were made nnd no appropria
tion for expcnsra. Therefore ho was op
posed to the motion ,
Smy the took thosame vlow of tha case. Ho
believed the Akin motion would bo all
right if modified so as to ptovido for
the appropriation of $100 tud the
incorporation of the charges made by Klgut-
tor. Without money for Iho payment of
witnesses only the testimony of volunteers
could be had , and this might bo exceedingly
unreliable on account of spite or friendship
for the party accused. He reminded the
bonrd lhat It would prooably not bo neces
sary to spend tlio whole of the $100 sug
gested , but only so much of lt.as should bo
absolutely required.
Mr. KlKUtter'i 1'lftlu Talk.
When tbo debate had gone this far Mr.
lElgulter arose and spoke with uu earnest-
' .ness -considerably shook up his col
leagues. Said ho ; "It Is evident that muni
of the members liore are simply making a
bluff and do not deilro nny investi
gation at all. They have no moro
intention of having these charges hoard
than I nave of living to the moon , The tno
tion under consideration is a farce. No ap
propriatlon i mado. No time Is sot for a
report and Muolcud can pot a nlco white'
wash and wa will all bo happy. New , an
chairman of the committee on. buildings ana
property , I know lust what 1 am talking
about. I know there Imvo been Irregular
ities in Macltod's oftlco and I will prove it tc
the paoplo of thU city at ray own cxponso tf
necessary if not srlven nn opportunity to
irovo It to the board. "
Mr. Jaynos moved to amend the Akin mo-
Ion so as to include the appropriation , This
i.tsscd.
An ineffectual nttompt was nindo to amend
the motion RO as to roqulro a report by Do-
: onibor4. 1'hon the motion with the appro
bation passed by the following vote :
Yeas A kin , Gibson , Javncs.knodoll , Wor
sen , Smylho , Thomas nnd Powell 8.
Nays Burgess , Coryell , Klguttcrand Mor
risen 1.
Nnmril thn Cniumtltrn ,
The commllloo named by the president to
conduct the Investigation consists of Messrs.
Akin. Duryca , I'lorson , W. N. Babcock nnd
Thomas. Mr. Akin says that ho will bring
iho committee together and got down to' '
Business as soon as | K > sslbIo. Mr. Klgutlor
gave nollco lhat ho would call for a report
o ! the conimlttoo at the llrst regular mootIng -
Ing In December.
The board hoard with much Interest and
adopted without debate the report of Iho
conimiltco on finance , which was published
In Tun Bun last week. In accordance with
It appropriations under all heads will bo
made at the beginning of each school year ,
nnd no .expense thus indicated can bo ex
ceeded except by n iwo-thtrds vote of the
members. The secretary will also bo re
quired to make a statement each month of
the condition of each fund.
The Board of Education Is having some
trouble with a man named John Thompson ,
who lives In a cotlago on the Dodge school
grounds , helps himself to the school coal
anil who has refused to got off at the re
quest of the superintendent of buildings.
Ho will bo looked after by the board's ' attor
ney and n committee.
Treasurer Bolln nddrcsed the board n let
ter Inquiring what would bo the amount of
his bond for the coming year. Ho said that
as ho would handle much less money than
heretofore ho thought the bond should not
exceed ? T > Ot,000. ) Tlio matter was referred to
the committee on llnanco.
To Iho committee on buildings and prop
erty was referred n communication from
Wa'tor S. Clark , administrator of the ustato
of Hugh G. Clark , complaining that frame
buildings on the Franklin silo used by the
board under lease had not been turned back
in the condition they were In when taken.
Partitions had been laken out which Mr.
Clarir desires replaced. Referred to the
couimltlco 0.1 buildings and property.
The ostlmalo formed of Walter White-
side from his performance of Othello Is
moro than strengthened by his interpreta
tion of Hamlet , prlnco of Denmark. His
portrayal of a character which bus been
essayed by all the great lights iu tbo
dramatic firmament , past as well as
present , Is of extraordinary value to
the slago. II Is scholarly lo a degree ,
literary in its finish and yet wonderfully
picturesque ana intensely dramatic. The
portrayal of Shakespeare's immortal hero
last niitht by this young tragedian will link
his name to these -Jvcat actors of our stapo
who have passed beyond the bar actors
who have made the melancholy Dane their
own.
So long as "Hamlet" Is played so long will
the Tucstiou ) of the prince's sanity bo
mooted. As Dowdon so tersely expressed it.
' 'thennost profoundistudent of psychological
phenomena Is compelled to halt on the bor
derland of sanity or insanity in his analysis
of Hamlet , nnd at the pausing point ho
finds himself swirlingamld Iho mysteries of
lifo nnd queries over ttie origin of mind , its
actualities and possibilities. "
Mr. Whitosido , with fourteen years of
conscientious devotion to tills many-sided ,
complex character , plays- the part as the
text would seem to indicate a sane man may ,
feigning madness for the ono purpose of
revenging the unnatural murder of his
father. In Iho closet scene with his
mother , which was one of the strongesl bils
of dramalic work seen on Iho stage of
Boyd's , ho throws off his antic disposition
and becomes the high-minded son , bursting
with indignation over his mother's sin in so
soon forgetting the former icing of Don-
mark. Hero , with his passion surging like
the waves of the ocean , ho beseeches
his mother on his kncos to assume a virtue
If she has it not , attempting by a healthful
mind to wrest her from the uncle who mur-
dcrdd his father. " * '
There were everal bits of'now business
and now readings , Mr , Whitcsido going
almost from the beginning of tlio pluy to the
last to find a legitimate ending for his llrst
speech with the shadoof his father , where
ho addresses it as "King , Father , Hoyal
Dano. " His "sooms madam" was a polished ,
speech so beautifully read that at ouco
the audience felt it was in Iho presence
of an actor whoso future is roseate with
promise.
The support was lamentable with the ex
ceptions of Miss Wolsttin ns Ophelia and Mr.
Sturgeon , who played 1/iortes. Again the
stage manager made u mess of situations ,
but oven with these drawbacks the Hamlet
of Mr. Whitcsido is ona of the greatesl per
formances given in years.
ALLEGED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

C. C. Buch , a young man who lives near
Twelfth and Pacific slreots , claims lhat ho
was held up nnd robbed of $10.80 about 10
o'clock last night.
Ho walked to the police station and told
his story lo Captain Moslyn. Buuh said
lhat ho toolc a short route homo by going
under the Eleventh street viaduct. When
near the gas works ho mot two mon , who
commanded him to throw up his hands. Ho
says thai ho started to run and ono of the
robbers throw his arm around ills nock and
hurled him to the ground.
Both of the Ihluves s\t ; on him until they
could po througn his pockets , and whoa they
let him up they told him to "got , " and ho did
so us fast as he could. II is quite dark where
the robbery took place , und he could not give
n very good description of his assailants. As
Buch's clothing bora no Indications of a
struggle , nnd from the fact that it was still
raining , tlio police are inclined lo somewhat
discredit Buch's story. Detectives were de
tailed to investigate Iho matter , but at a
late hour had made no report.
