O, Smir!', Attorney General; Don. Aibert si. wu'is. Envoy Extraordinary nnd Minister Bltnlpotentlary, United StatPs of An.eric i. Mr. Willis Will Mr. Jones bo present at -tlii " Interview! President Dole Wo wish to lave him present if you liave no objection. Mr. Willis Is he a stenographer! President Dole Yes, sir. Mr. Willis No objection at all, Mr. Willis then said: Mn. PnsnntKT and QmrrumxH: The president of th l"n:ted stales hm very much regretted the delay in the Hawaiian question, but It has been unavoidable. So much of it that has occurred since my arrival has bS-n duo to cer tain conditions, precedent compli ances, which were required before I was to confer with you. The president also r.-srets, as most assuredly I do, that any secrecy should have surrounded the Interchange of views between our two governments. I may say this, however, that secrecy thus far observed, has been in the interest and for the safety of all your people. 1 need hardly promise that the presi dent's action Upon tho Hawaiian question his been tinder the dictates of honor and duty, and it is now, and has been fr'.m the beginning, absolutely free from prejudice nnd resentment and en tirely consistent with long established friendship and treaty ties which h ive so clcsly bonnd together our respective gov ernments. Tho president deemed it his duty to withdraw frurn the senate the troatyof annexation which has been signed by the secretary of stnte and agents of your gov meat und to dispntch a trusted representa tive to Hawaii to impartially Investigate the cause of your revolution nnd to ascer tain nnd report the true situation in these islands. This information was needed to better enable tho president to discharge a delicate and important duty. PBBUDBRT ci.KVEr.AND's ULTIMATUM, Upon the fncts embodied in Mr. Blount's report, the president has arrived at certain conclusions and determined upon s certain course of action, with which it becomes my dnty to acquaint you. The pro visionnl government was not established by the Hawaiian people, nor with their con sent or ariiiie!!Ciico, nor has it since existed with their consent. The queen refused to surrender her powers to the provisional government until convinced that the min ister of the United Btatet hud recognized t as tho defacfo authority and would support and defend it with the mili tary force of the United States ami that resistance would precipitate a bloody con flict with that force. She was advised and assured by her ministers nnd leaders of the movement for the overthrow of her gov ernment that if she surrender d under pro tost her case would afterwards be fnirlv Considered by tho prosidout of the United (States. The queen finally yielded to tbn armed forces of the United States then quartered in Honolulu, rulyiug on the good faith and lienor of tho president, when Informed of what had occurred, to undo the action of the minister and reinstate the authority which she claimed as tho constitutional soveroigu of the Hawaiian islands. Alter a patient examination of Mr. Blount's reports, the president in satisll. il that the movement against the queen, if not instigated, was encouraged and sup ported by the representative of this gov ernment nt Honolulu, thnt he promised lu advance to aid her enemies in an effort to overthrow the Hawaiian government and set up by force a new govern ment in its plnco nnd that he kept this promise by causing n detach ment of troops to he landed from the Bos Ion on Jan. id, 1803, and by. recognizing tho provisional government tho next day when it was too fefble to defend Itself and tbo constitutional govern ment was about to successfully maintain its authority agninst any threatening force, other than that of the United States already landed, The president has, there fore, determined that ho will not send bad: to the ncnato for its action the treaty which ho withdrew from that body for further consideration on March 0 last. In view of these conclusions, I Was in StrUC ed by tht president of the United Statis to take advantage of an early op. portnnlty to inform the queen of this de termination and of his view ns to the reap nstbllity of our government. Tho pres dent, however, felt that we, by our original Interference) h.ul incurred responsibility to the whole Hawaiian community and that it Won d n t be just to put one party at t he mercy of the other. 1 was therefore in- strne'ed at the same time to inform her thai the president expected that she would pursue n magnanimous course by granting full amnesty to all who partici pated iti thr movement against her, includ ing persons who are, or who liavo been officially or otherwise connected with the provisional government, depriving them of no right or privilege which they en joyed before the revolution of last.iaiiu ary and that all obligations crested by the provisional government In the court of administration should be assumed. In obedience to the command of the pre-ident, I bays secured the queen's agreement to tnU course, and I now da. ! liver a writing, signed by her. and duly at i tested, a copy at which I will leave with I you. Mr. Willis then solemnly demanded j that the provisional government ebdi Icateand permit thequsen to resume ner corona, President Dole replied, refusing to consider this demand. A week of terrible feus ensued, nfter the ar rival of the revenue Cutter Corwin. Minister Willis held the mensco of using fores with the provisional government and the citizens got in readiness to rush to arms, though it was generally believud the minuter was bluffi'mg. All fars were ended by the receipt of the United Prss dis patch per stoiiuer Arawa on Doc. 27. BEITISIl MARINES LANDED. The provisional government lias a force-of men underarms atid the palace strongly fortified. Minister Willis re ceived a bulky batch of dispatches. He immediately entered upon r w.il in tercourse with the queen. Homes were being searched for concealed anus. On Dec. 10 the alarm was roviv. d by ttto British minister receiving permis sion from the government to land mar ines from Hr Majesty's ship Cnam pion for tne protection of ltritish in terests. Captain Rooke stated that he expected the queen to be restored by American forces aud would laud fifty marines. FAIR BUILDINGS IN FLAMES.

It was, p-r-haps, on that account that Governor M'Kuilcy refrained from taucbiug es pecially on political topics. About 5,000 men were in the proces sion. There were not, of course, any Democratic clubs in the lino, bu: the militarv nnd civic organizations and tho staffs of marshals contained many well known 1 NM) and t tiler Democrats.

The governor tlieu spoke. Ilia address was largely historical. Of present issnes nnd duties ho said : My fellow citliens, we cannot be indif ferent, even if we would, to current busi ness conditions nor unmindful that today many of our fellow citizens are without work because they cannot find anything to do. There are homes In tho state which, less than n year ago, were tilled with cheer and contentment that are now haunted with hunger. Our hearts go out in feeling sympathy to these unfortunate on s of our fellow citizens, and our pllions Should OpeQ to them in sweet and sub stantial charity. The present situation affords a great, opportunity to nil of us to demonstrate tho love we bear our fellow men, and if rightly im proved will cause us to realize that it is moro blessed to give than to re ceive. Those who havo, should - and 1 know will give to those who have not, and the people of our great state will per mit none of our men or women or chil dren to suffer for tho necessaries of life.

Governor McKinlcy uttered these Words, which aro applicable as well to congress and tho nation as to bis own state ; The tendency of nil governments nndall branches Ol government, executive and legislative) is for each to increase its power and magnify its importance, sometimes in doubtful regard of the laws and theooA atitntiou. W hue the power and indepen dence of the co-ordinate branches of the government should bo sacredly maintained, We should bo careful never to encroach upon the organic law, nor to trespass upon the rights of the people. The best govern ment is the one which governs the lenst. nnd which keeps safely within the letter nnd spirit, or (lie constitution, anil tinniest government always is that one which best looks niter its own, aim wim-n is m closest heart touch with tho highest aspirations ot tho people A severe test comes to ilia majority in a legislative body when that majority is phenomenally large. Mien a majority is dilllcult of control. Self-imposed restraint in tho Use Of power is hard to exercise, but when ex'Ti-i-ed Is a demou-.! ration ot comiiiaudlng virtue and the highest ex hibition of genuine statesmanship. The uossession of great power too often le.ols to great abuses. It is often less trouble to let hud legislation go through than to stop it, but that practice Will neither justify the conscience ol tile honest legis lator nor retain the ronfldenos of his con stituents Conservatism in legislation marks tho wise legislator, aud delibera tion is promotive of thu wibusteuadniuutu. Damilry, Conn., Jan. 8. The hat manufacturers have begun to move out of Daubury. Heck or i & Co., who nave the largest hat laetory m Con necticut nnd who employ 500 bands, announced today that they will remove to Newark, N. J. The first shipment of machinery was me.de today anil tho work of removal will be doue as expeditiously as possible, us the firm wants to get located in their new quar ters in time to start work on spring goods. For tho past five years the pay -roll of this firm has exceeded $100,000 an nually, and the loss to this city by its removal will be incalculable. In New ark the firm will run its factory inde pendently of trades unions, something it has fouud it impossible to do in th.s city, Not only will Danbury lose the factory, but in addition it will lose William Beckorle's immense stock farm on which there are 200 high bred horses. It is thought that this move of lieckerle's company will break tho ranks of 4,000 union batters who have for six weeks refused to go to work in the twenty factories that closed their doors against the unions, and have siuce tried unsuccssf ally to open ns Independent sh ip-. It is too late now to prevent the re moval of Heckerle's company and It is thought that the hatters before seeing tho other manufacturers leave will give up their uuUms aud acknowledge defeat. Mauv of the other mauufaot urers havo their arrangements nearly completed for removing elsewhere. Blnce they first signified their inten tion, a week ago, of moving out of Danbury they havo received hundreds of letters from all parts of tho country offering inducement! to move.
