J. A. King, Minitter of Interior: Hon.

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.
Graphic Story of Disastrous Fire in
the White City as Told
in Bulletins.
Chicaoo, Jan. 8. Mnaio hall at the
World's fair grounds is burning. At
11 p, in. one-third of tho roof of the

and the firemen laid they could not save
it from total destruction. Twenty
thousand cases of exhibits are in the

The Casino, Music ball and Peris

Fiyo firemen were injured during the
progress of the fire, and one will die,
A! midnight it is thought the $2, l00, -000
worth of exhibits in the Manufact
ures' building would be saved.
A conservative estimate places tho
total loss thus far nt a million and a
half. It is not definitely known what
caused the fire, but the commonly ac-
oepted theory among tbo thousands on
tho grounds tonight is that it had been
caused by tramps sleeping in the Ca

The inauguration proper w is held at

blessing upon tbo occasion, after which
tho governor was Hworn into office by
Chief Justicu Bradbury, of the supreme
court. 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.
God grant that this scourge of our indus
trial prosperity mnv speedily pass away,
iiml thai the time may not be long distant
when business oonnuence simii again come
to every community; when industry shall
resume its former activity: and when the
men now in enfoiced idleness shall have
work and wages, aud the BOUtCS now in
poverty shall bo blessed in plenty,
Al'I'UCAltt.E, iXBtb, TO OOltQRgM,
Afterdovotinir himself Instate issues.
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.
