The Proposed Hawaiian, Policy.

Mr. Gresham startled the country
Saturday by proposing the forcible sup-
pression of the existing ,de facto gov-7
ernment of Hawaii,and the equally for-
cible restoration of the burlesque mon-
archy deposed nearly a year ago. His
theory is, says the Washington Post,
with all the force of exact truth, that

the power of the United States Was em- 3 . ‘ -
=was stricken down in the prime of his

ployed to consummate a wrong in the
first instance, and that the same power
should now be invoked to vindicate jus-
tice by committing another. If Mr.
Gresham had spent the whole period of
hisincumbency as Secretary of State
in planning a theatrical effect he could
not have been more bewilderingly suc-
cessful. '

With the issue of veracity. raised by
Mr. Gresham as against Minister Stev-
ens and his own predecessor, Secretary
Foster, we have nothing to do. We
prefer to keep to the undisputed facts
of the case and to seek in them such
justificatidn of Mr. Gresham’s proposed
policy as they can be made to furnish.
Whatever may have been the circum-
stances under which the Hawaiian mon-
archy was overthrown last winter it is‘
nevertheless true that the Cleveland ad-
ministration, upon coming into power
two or three months later, found the
present government installed at Hono-
lulu. l\'o matter what Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Gresham may, as private citi-
zens, have thought of the methods by
which that government was set up, it
remains the fact that, as president and
Secretary of State, they found that gov-
ernment an accomplished and perfected
entity, and it is equally true that they
have recognized and. [dealt with it as
such ever since. Of course, nobody
knows the exact nature of the instruc-
tions under which Mr. Blount acted
while he was exerting his paramount
authority by special and mysterious
commission, but there can be no ques-
tion that upon succeeding Mr. Stevens
as minister plenipotentiary he “gave of-
ficial recognition to the then existing
arrangement at Honolulu. Nor can it
be asserted that Mr. Blount Was mere-
ly tolerating a govunment on paper or
conniving at a tempera: y expedient,for
one of the earliest manifestations of his
paramount authority had been the
hauling down of the United States flag

‘ and the transfer of the United States’

marines from their barracks there to
their quarters aboard the Boston. The

vessel’s presence in the harbor after _

that act of official repudiation was no
more of a support'of the provisional
government than of the deposed mon-
archy—perhaps not as much—and the
former, from that day to the present,
has stood upon its own feet and by vir-
tue of its' own strength.

We do not find in Mr. Gresham’s
statement of the case, and we imagine
that it is about as unfavorable a state-
as ’could be made, the very smallest
w‘arrent for the hypothesis, that 'the
present government of Hawaii is des-
titute of inherent strength and incap-
the
contrary, it seems to us, continues the
Post, that it has sufficiently contradict-
ed such a proposition by exerting its
authority and commanding the respect
and obedience of the Hawaiian ever
since the day on ‘wbich‘ Mr. Blount
called off the United States forces and
somewhat ostentatiously left it to stand
alone. There may be a question as to
the means by which the revolution was
accomplished originally, but there can
be nondsas to the present reality and,
substance of the de facto government,
or, in our opinion, as to the impropriety
of foreign interference :n a situation
which the parties chiefly concerned ap-
pear to have acc-pted with entire satis-
faction. If, as Mr. Gresham insists,
the deposed monarch is. backed by an
overwhelming public sentiment, ,it will
re-establish itself without aid from us.
If not, and if the existing goverment-be
rooted in the'people’s sympathy, and
inherently capable of self-support, the
employment of the United States forces
to overthrow it would be an act of the
grossest and most wicked tyranny.

We do not see that the present admin-
istration need hold itself responsible
for the misdeeds, real or imagined, of
its predecessor, but even if it were re-
6 possible, we find it equally difficult to
imagine why an outrage connivedgat
by Mr. Harrison should be followed by
an outrage planned and executed by
Mr. Cleveland. The proposition that
two wrongs make a right has never yet
been accepted by the enlightened moral
sense of the civilized world.

the Bridgeport police Monday, that a
strangely-dressed crank called at his

threatened to kill the colonel if he did
not surrender the papers.

The reverend gentleman-gives a very
interesting account of himself and his

“For ten years,” he said, “Ihave
been nervous and growing worse all
these years. Durin'gthe’! last four or
five years I became so nervous I could
scarcely sign my name. ,30..git could be
read. Iwas so nervous that I could
not read my own sermon notes after
they had been laid aside awhile.

“I was unable to hold my hand steady
in the pllplt, nor could I hold or han-
dle my becks and papers without em-
barassment, owing to the trembling and
weakness of \my hands and arms. I
was so nervous that, I could scarcely
feed myself. In fact my nervous sys-
was wrecked.

“I tried many remedies recbmmend-
ed by physrcians, but found no perma-

That’s What the CruiSer-
v- .‘ Columbia , Promises.

For the Short Run Made " Yesterday
She Showed .3 Speed of 24:62
Knots, and This in a Rough'Sea—
To Try Again :To-morrow.

Bos'ron', Nov. 17.-—The great trial of
the United States cruiser Columbia, .for
which such extensive preparations had
been made, was started yesterday according
to programme over the measured course
between Cape Ann and Cape Porpoise, but
before fifteen minutes of the four hours
run had" been accomplished, Edwin S.
Cramp was compelled to abandon the race'
against time because the high wind had
blown the buoys and marking boats out of

l position- -

If the weather permits the trial will be
made to-morrow. In the short run that
was made the cruiser’s speed was at the
rate of 22 3-4 knots an hour.

The Sea Was Rough.

When Capt. Sargent weiged anchor and
steamed the Columbia out to sea, the wind
at the time was blowing fresh and the sea
was rough, but both Mr. Cramp and Capt.
Sargent laughed at the suggestion of, a
postponement of the trial.

Admiral Belknap, the chairman of the
board, Commodore Walker, Commanders
Cooper and Cook and Lieut.-Commander
Hemphill Were brought to the ship by a
tug, and with all the representatives of
the government now on board, the Colum-
bia started slowly toward Cape Ann, the
lower end of the measured course.

Government Observations.

According to Admiral Belknap’s orders,
one government steamer, having on board
officers charged with the duty of making

' time and tidal observations, was to be sta~
tioned at each buoy, about 100 feet inshore.
The Columbia’s course lay seaward of the
buoys.- _

Although the strength of the wind in-
creased every minute, blowing from the
land and straight across the course, the
representatives of the ship’s builders had
no thought of postponing the trial. ,

Ten minutes before the Columbia
reached the starting line a long, hoarse
blast from her whistle notified eVerybody
on deck and below that the trial would
be made. ,

Up to Forced Draught.

Meanwhile, down in the bottom of the
ship, Engineer Patterson and Fireman
Johnston had worked the machinery up to
forced draught, and when the Columbia
dashed across the line the three engines
were each averaging 137 revolutions per
minute, a greater velocity than was
reached at any time during Tuesday’s pre-
liminary trial. , . . .

The decks of the Dolphin were filled
with officers and seamen as the Columbia
passed and all sent up a. “‘God’s speed”
that was only faintly heard on the racing
ship. ' - 1-.

By this time the wind had increased: .10
whatrold sailors described as a fresh “ ,_
gallant breeze otI l'shore.” The bay was a
mass of feathery “white-caps” and thoSe
compelled to remain on deck were

drenched by the‘ continuous showers of .

spray which swept the ship from bow to
stern.
Pounded Her Way Along.

Impelled by her powerful machinery,
the Columbia pounded her way over the
course, passing the, second buoy in six
minutes and sixteen seconds lorom the
time of her start. The distance between
the two buoys is 2.37 knots, and her speed
was therefore at the rate of 22. 3-4 knots.

The third buoy was 6.66 knots away,
and by the time two thirds of the distance
had been made, Captain Sargent discovered
that something was wrong.

Veteran Luke Chambers was doing . the
steering and his effort to steer straight fer
the Kearsarge threw the Columbia nearly
five points off her course. This was " ei-
plaiued soon after when it was found that
the Kearsarge, unable to hold her anchor,
had been blown nearly a mile out to sea.
The buoy behind which she should have-
been stationed was not visible and it is
supposed the wind had carried it to sea
also. . . _

Trial Abandoned. ,

This mishap destroyed all chance ‘of
going over. the course properly, and Mr.
Cramp ordered the red flag lowered, thus
announcing the temporary abandonment .
of the trial. _ . _

Slowly and with apparent reluctance,
Captain Sargent‘ turned the Columbia
around and headed her for Boston.

According to one of Cramp’s engineers,
the engines at their highest velocity aver-
aged as follows: port 140 revolutions; star-
board 138; centre 136.

~ A Good Showing.

' The air pressure averaged half an inch,
whereas the contract limit is one inch.
The steam pressure was below the designed
limit of Hit) pounds at all times. The
greatest horse power development during
the ‘ short time themachinery .was on.
forced draught was 21,500.

The exact, although of course unofllcial
time, was 24:63 knots an hour. '

The greatest prevxous speed on record
was made by the Campauia, that ship on
her trial making 23:32 knots in a one»
hour run. -
