NEWS BY THECHIf A.
Minister WiJlis Went About
His Work Quietly.
A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT.
The President and Secretary
of State Will Explain Their
Reasons More Fully.
X -w •
Washington, Nov. 15.—The news
brought from Honolulu by the steamer
China has increased the interest felt here
in Minister Willis’ mission. It is regret
ted that the captain of the China did
not delay sailing for Hawaii a few hours,
for, had he done so, he might have
brought particulars of the formal call of
Minister Willis on President Dole, and
of the way in which the startling infor
mation conveyed by Mr. Willis was re
ceived. The China sailed just Wore
the call was made. This is accepted
here as showing how carefully, up to
that time, the American minister had
■ guarded his secret. The captain of the
China evidently saw nothing in the ap
. proaching meeting of the two officials
but the formal routine exchange of salu
tations. Had he known that the new
minister would deliver a message calcu
lated to bring the provisional govern
ment to an end, and to restore the queen
to her throne, he undoubtedly would
have delayed.hiq departure.-knowing the
value of such news at Sah Francisco.
Willis Proceeds COolly. - ’ * "
The news brought by the China shows
that, though Minister Willis’s message
to the provisional government was un
usual, he was proceeding in the usual
i way of diplomacy to dbliverit. The
formal announcement of his arrival, ac
companied by p request for the fixing of
, a day’ for his official call and the sending
of a<x>py iu advance of the speech’ he
would deliver, followed the diplomAtie
formula prescribed in such cases. ‘He
would not have differently if
his mission had been iiV full recognition
of ths provisional government, and with
•instructions toaccord it all the support
in his power. This shows that Mr.
-Willis had decidsdmpon ■ Conservative
’bourse, tend-one calculated: to insure him
a respectful reception by the provisional
> government. Os counie. the test of bis
i abilities was still to come, but the fact
that he started right pleases the admin- :
istration. i ’ : - Y ‘ • ;/■
Tbe latest report is that the president
and Secretary G resham have decided to
£ive out a supplemental statement in
justification of their course towards Ha
waii. This statement, it is said, will be
port, which consists of 1,200 pages of
type-written copy. All of the papers in
tue case have been taken Out to Wood
ley. and Don Dickinson, it is said, pa:
ticipated in a conference On the subject.
Thurston In WmUilngton.
Minister Thurston, representing the
provisional government, has reachel
here from Chicago and drove at once to
the Hawaiian legation. He said in re
sponse to a question that he had nothing
to add to the interview he gave out in
Chicago. He admitted having received
private advices from his government \by
the steamer China, but said that his own
news was not as full as that contained in
the press dispatches. He was disinclined
to discuss the probable course of his gov
ernment, but he declared that the mon
archy, if restored, will not be able to
sustain its without the ai<l of this gov
ernment. Mr. Thurston awaits develop
ments. <
When asked if it was his intention to
call on Secretary Gresham, he replied
that it was likely he would do so. He
was still, he said, the accredited repre
sentative of the Hawaiian government to
capital, and ihe only Hawaiian govern
ment, so far as he knew, was
ional government.
Dock Nut the Issue.
Secretary Gresham is entirely con
scious that he lias taken a step which at
first incenses American sentiment He
fully realizes that the attitude he has
taken concerning Hawaii is unpopular
and he is not the least surprised at the
assaults made upon the administration.
But he is absolutely confident that time
will change all this.
Secretary Gresham holds that, aside
from the abstract justice due to that
feeble government, there are treaty con
ditions involved in annexation which
would lead this government into danger
ous entanglements. Among these he
names the treaty obligations with Chink
and Japan for coolie labor.
Secretary Gresham is so absolutely
confident of the ultimate approval of the
American people that he says that, not
withstanding the present censure, he
would not evade one atom of the re
sponsibility.
WILL REORGANIZE. ’
Thera Are Signe of a Change in the Civil
Service CommiMion.
Washington, Nov. 15.—1 t is reported
here upon what seems to be good au
thority, that the civil service commission
will be reorganized. The commission is
now engaged in the preparation of its
annual report, and when that is com-
Sleted the* change suggested is likely to
e made. Mr. Johnston, of Louisiana,
and Mr. Lyman, the chairman of the
board, are both said to be marked for
decapitation.. ; •
The complaint against Mr. Johnson
is that he is not in sympathy with the
spirit of civil service reform, while Mr.
Lyman, who has been in office for some
time, is wedded, it is said, to routine,
and exhibits little interest in widening
the scope of the reform. Mr. Roose
velt, the Republican "member of the
board, will remain. Tbe-niunes of ex-

Charleston, Nov. 15.—At a meeting
of the city council the city was present
ed with the parade flag of tho First
South Carolina regular artillery. The
flag was lost at- the evacuation of
Charleston in 1365 and was recovered

Inglesby, who first suggested that it be
purchased and preseutefl to the city.
The amount of the purchase money was
contributed by Mrs. David Roberts, a
daughter of Colonel Yates, the first com
mander of the regiment and the custo
dian of the flag, and the presentation to
the city council took place Tuesday.
The flag will be kept with the Beaure

AFTER THE BOYS.
Buffalo’s Secret Organization
Will Be Brought In o Court.
GRAVE CRIME OF TREASON
May Be Charged, and if Not
Proven Perhaps a Smaller
Crime May Be.
Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 15.—Seventy
five citizens of Buffalo, under charges of
conspiracy, will be presented to the next
grand jury at its meeting on Nov. 29.
All of the accused are alleged to be
members of the “American Protective
association,” the anti-Catholic secret so
ciety that has lately taken root in Buf
falo, estalished several branches, and
already has a newspaper organ.
It will be in the nature of a test case
to obtain an opinion from the courts as
to whether this society comes within the
scope of criminal conspiracy, and its lit
erature under the ban of the law, as
matter tending to incite riot.
The names of the defendants cannot
be obtained at the present writing, but
it is known that the proprietor of the
newspaper printed as the organ of the
American Protective association, several
attorneys, merchants, business men,
some civil officers and one clergyman
are on the list. It has been difficult to
obtain the names for prosecution, as
each member subscribes to a solemn
oath never to divulge his own connection
with the order or the name of any fellow
member.
The fundamental principle of the or
der is stated in the official literature of
the society in this language;,
As all reserva
tion in favor of ti, j pope, while swearing
allegiance to the United States, these men
should not be permitted to hold any office
within the gift of the American people.
Furthermore, the members pledge
themselves to give employment to no
Catholics, and to refrain, as far aa possi
ble, from trading with them. This is
believed to be a violation of sub-section
5, section 168, chapter 8, of the laws of
the state of Naw York, which declares:
If two or more persons conspire to pre
vent another from exercising a lawful
trade or calling, or doing any other lawful
act ; by threats, intimidation, or by .inter
fering or threatening to interfere with
tools, implements or property, or anything
whatever belonging to or used by another,
such person is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Ifitis presibla, the gravor jeww of .
treusew-agamsb the state WiU'-bh-tmo* ad, ■
which offense is punishable bv years’
imprisonment. It is claimed that, the
American Protective association •‘prim
er,” the tracts entitled “What Is It?”
and “Read and Reflect,” and the ritual
of the order can be considered matter
calculated tn disturb the peace of the
state and incite riot by appealing to so
cial and religious prejudices and misrep
resenting the beliefs and principles of a
large body of citizens.
Some time ago a local paper published
an alleged expose of the order, contain
ing excerpt: from its literature. The
Catholics were greatly surprised and
somewhat alarmed to learn to what ex
tent the order had grown, even at that
time, and they have friends in the dib
trict attorney’s office who need little
prodding to take up the preparation of
the case for the grand jury.

AFTER YEARS OF "LIBERTY.
William Carpeater, Wanted foe Nardo* to

Columbia, 8. C., Nov. 15.—Governor
Tillman has issued a requisition for Wl 1-

of military under the command of Gen
eral Richbourg, was sent from here by
the governor on a special train and Mur
rell was finally hauled from under a

IRWIN BOUND OVER.
He I« Held for the Murder of Will Smith
in Knoxville.
Knoxville, Nov. 15.—The trial of
Barney Irwin, charged with the killing
of young Smith, his confederate in the
plan to entrap young Fred Gerding in
an attempt to rob an express car, was
continued, and the prosecution intro
duced several more witnesses, whose
testimony was strong against Irwin.
The sentiment against the policeman
was made more intense by the appear
ance of the dead man’s two sisters on
the witness stand. They were dressed
in heavy mourning. They testified to a
visit Irwin paid to their brother while
ho lay wounded in the dty hospital.
Irwin then denied having shot young
Smith. Other witnesses swore that on
that same day he had .confessed to hav
ing fired the shot that gave young Smith
his death wound. Irwin was allowed to
make his statement. He denied that he
entered into the scheme with hope of re
ward. He also denied having shot
Smith. He said that he had. but that
was for a purpose, which he did not
state. After the evidence was all sub
mitted Irwin was bound to the criminal
bond for murder in the
first avgree. His attorneys signed his
bond.
