If the ship on which Columbus sailed for America had pone down in an Atlantic cyclone, how" much longer would it have taken for the discov ery of this continent? If Grouchy had come up with reinforce ments in time to ijive the French the victory at Waterloo, what would have been the Tato ofEuropo? If the Spanish Armada had not been wrecked off the eoat, how different would have been many chapters in English history! If the battle of Hastings or (ho battle of I'ultowa, or the battle of Valmy, or the battle of Mataurus, or the battle of Ar-' beln, or the battle of Chalons, each one of which turned tho world's 'destiny, had been decided tho other way t If Shakespr'are had never been born for the drama, or Handel had never been born for music, or Titian had never been born for painting, or Thorwaldsen had never been bora for sculpture, or Klmund Burke had never been born for elooiience, or Socrates had never been born for philosophy, or LhiekHtone had never been born for the law, or Copernicus bad nt,ver been born for as tronomy, or Luther had never been born for the reformation ! Oh, that conjunction '-if!" How much has depended on it ! The height of it, tho depth of it, Ihe length of it, tho breadth of it, the immensity of it, the infinity of it--who can measure? It would Pwamp anything but omnipotence. I5ut I must confine myself to day to the "ifs" of the Bible, nnd in doing so I shall sponk of the "if" of overpowering earnestness, the "if" of ineredulitj-, tho "if of threat, the "if of argumentation, the "if of eternal significance, or so many of thesa "ifs" ns I can compass in the time that may be reasonably allotted to pulpit discourse. First, the "if" of overpowering earnest ness. 5Iy text gives it. The Israelites have been worshiping an idol, notwithstanding all that Go 1 ha l done for them, and now Moses offers the most vehement prayer of all history, and it turns upon an "if." "If Thou wilt forgive theirsius and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book." Oh, what an overwhelming "if!" It was ns much as to say : "If Thou wilt not pardon them, do not pardon me. If Thou wilt not ''ring them to tho promised land, let me r ver see the promised land. If they must (i rish, let me perish with them. In that book where Thou recordest their doom re cord my doom. If they are shut out of heaven, let me bo shut out of heaven. If they go down into darkness, let me go down into darkness." What vehemence and holy recklessness of prayer ! Yet there are those here who, I have no doubt, have, in their all absorbing desire to have others saved, risked the same prayer, for it is a risk. You must not makeit unless you aro willing to balance your eternal sal vation on such an "if." Yet there have been eases where a. mother has been so anxious for the recovery of a wayward sou that her prayer has swung and trembled and poised on an "if like that of the text. "If not. blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book. Write his name in the Lamb's Book of Life, orturn to the page where my name was written ten or twenty or forty or sixty years ago, and wit a the black ink of everlasting midnight erase my first name, and my last name, and all my name. If he is to go into shipwreck, let me be tossed amid thesamo breakers. If ho cannot be a partner in my bliss. let me be a partnerin his woe. I have for many years loved I'hee. O (tod, and it has been my expecta tion to sit with Christ and all the redeemed at tho banquet of the skies but I now givo up my promised place at the feast, and my promised robe, and my promised crown, and my promised throne unless John, unless George, unless Henry, unless my darling son can share them with me. Heaven will be no heaven without him. O God, save my boy, or count me among the lost !" That is a terrific prayer, and yet there is a youcg man sitting in the pew on the main lioor. or in ti'.o lower gallery, or in tho top gallery, who has already crushed such a prayer from his mother's heart. He hardly ever writes home, or, living at borne, what does he care how much trouble ho gives her ! Her tears are no more to him than tho rain that drops from the eaves on a dark night. 1 he fact that she does not sleep because of watching for his return late at night does not choke his laughter or nnsten his step forward. She has tried coaxiug and kindness and pelf sacrifice and all the ordinary prayers that mothers make for their children, and all have foiled. She is coming toward the vivid and venturesome and terriflo prayer of my text. She is going to lift her own eternity and set It upon that one "if," by which she expacts to decide whether you will go up with her or she down with you. She may be this mo ment looking heavenw.ird nnd saying"0 Lord reclaim him by thy grace," and then adding that heart-rendering "if of my text "if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book. i After three years of absence a son wrote his mother in one of the New England whaling villages that he was coming home in a certain ship. Motherlike, she stood watching, and the ship was in the offing, but a fearful storm struck it and dashed the ship on tho rocks that night. All that night the mother prayed for the safety of the son, and just at dawn there was a knock nt the cottage door, and the son entered, crying out. "Mother, I knew you would pray me home ! If I would ask all those in this assemblage who have been prayed home to Go 1 by pious mothers to stand tip, there would be scores that would stand, and if I should ask them to give testimony it would be tho testimony of that New England sou coming ashore from the split timbers of the whaling ship. "My mother prayed mo home !" Another Bible "if" is tho "if" of incredu lity. Satan used it when Christ's vitality was depressed by forty days' abstinence from food, andthe tempter poiuted to some stones, in color nnd shape like loaves of breaJ, and said, "If thou oo tho Sn of God, com mand that these stones !e made bread." That was appropriate, for Satan is the father of that "if of incredtilhy. Peter used tho Fame "if when, standing on tho wet and slippery deck of a fishing smack off Lake Galilee, he saw Christ walking on tho S3a as though it were as solid as a pavement of basalt from tho adjoining volcanic hills, anc Teter cried. "If it be Thou, let me come to Thee on the water." What a preposterous "if!' Yhat human foot was ever so constructed as to walk on water? In what part of the earth did law of gravitation make exception to the rule that a man will sink to tho elbows when he touches the wave of river or lake and will sink still farther unless he can swim? But here Teter looks out upon the form in tho shape of a man defying the mightiest law of the uni verse, the law of gravitation, and standing erect on the top o the liquid. Yet the in credulous Peter cries out to the Lord. "If it be Thou." Alas, for that incredulous "if !" It is working as powerfully in the latter part of this nineteenth Christian century as it did in the early part of the first Christian cen tury. Though a small conjunction, it Is the big gest block to-day in the wav of the gospel chariot. "If!" "If We have theological seminaries which spend most of their timo and employ their learning and their genius in the manufacturing of "ifs." Vith that weaponry are assailed the Pentateuch, and the miracles, and the divinity of Jesus Christ. Almost everybody Is chewing on an "if." When many a man bows for prayer, he pats his knee on an "If." The door through which people pas'! into infidelity and atheism nnd all inimoratiH-- has to diorpcsts, nn I the one is made of the letter "1 and the other of the letter There are only four step? between strong fcif h "d irrplee. unbelief : First, surrender the idea of the verbal iiispifcatHrA Of the Scriptures and adopt the Idea that they vefe all generally supervised by the Lord. Sec ond, surrender the idea that they were all generally supervised by th Lord and adopt the theory that they were not all, but partly, tup rvisod by tho Lord. Third, believe that they are the gradual evolution of thq ages, and mea wroto according to" the wisdo'm of the times In which they lived. Fourth; be lieve that the Biblo i3 a bad book and not only unworthy of credence, but pernicious and debasing and cruel. Only four steps from the stout faith in which the rtiaftyfg died to th blatant car icature Of Christianity as the greatest sham of Ihe centuries. . But ihe door td all that firecipitntiori and horrdr is made btit of ah "if.'' The mother of unrests in the mimlzof tmnstran peopie ana to tnose wno regara sacred things is the "if of incredulity. In 1S79, in Scotland, I r .3" let-er which had been written many years ago by Thomas Carlyle to Thomas Chalmers. Carlyle at the time of writing the letter was a youilg man. The letter Was not td he published until after tho death of Carlyle. His death having taken placej the" letter ought Ui be published. It was rt letter in which Thomas Carlyle expresses tho tortures of his own mind whilo relaxing his faith in Christianity, whilo at tho same time expresses his admiration for Dr. Chalmers, and in which Carlylo wishes that ho had the same faith that the great Scotch minister evidently exercised. Nothing that T1 homns Carlyle ever wrote in "Sartor Besarttis," or the "French devolution," or his "Life Of Cromwell," or his immortal "Essays," had in it more wondrous power than that letter which bewailed his own doubts and extolled tho strong faith ot another. I made an exact copy of that letter, with tho understanding that it should not be pub lished until after the death of Thomas Carlyle, but returning to my hotel in Edin burgh I felt uneasy lest somehow that letter should get out of my possession and be pub lished before its time. So I took it back to the person by whoso permission I had Copied it. All reasons for its privacy having Vanished, I wish it might be published. Perhaps this sermon, finding its way into a Scottish home, may suggest its priuting, for that letter shows more mightily than any thing I have ever read the difference bet ween the "I know" of Taul, and the "I know" of Job, and the "I know" of Thomas Chalmers, and the "I know" of all those who hold with a firm grip the gospel, on the one hand, and the unmooring, bestorming nnd torturing "if ' of incredulity on tho other. I like t id positive faith of that saiior boy that Captain Judkins of the steamship Scotia picked up in U hurricane. "Go aloft," said Captain Jud kins to his mate, "and look out for wrecks." Before the mate had gone far Up the rat lines he Shouted S "A wreck! A wreck !" "Where away!" said Captain Judkins, "Off tho port bow," was the answer. Lifeboats were lowered, and forty men volunteered to put out across the angry sea for the wreck. They came back with a dozen shipwrecked, and among them a boy of twelve years. "Who aro you?" said Captain Judkins. The answer was ; "I ara a Scotch boy. My father and mother are dead, and I am on my Way to America." "What have you here? ' said Captain Judkins as he opened tho boy's jacket and took bold of u rope around the boy's body. "It is a rope." said the boy. 'jBut what is that tied by this rope under your arm?" "That, sir, is my mother's Bible. She told me never to lose that."' "Could you not have saved something else?" "Not and saved that." "Did you expect to go down?" "Yes, sir, but I meant to lake my mother s Bible down witu me. "Bravo ! said Captain Judkins. "I will take care of you." That boy demonstrated a certainty and a confidence that I like. Just in proportion as you have few "ifs" of incredulity in your religion will you find it a comfortable re ligion. My full and unquestioned faith in it is founded on the fact that it sooths and sus tains in time of trouble. I do not believe that any man who ever lived had more bless ings and prosperity than I have received from God and tho world. But I have had trouble enough to allow mo opportunity for finding out whether our religion is of any U3-.3 in sucli exigency. I have had fourteen great bereavements, to say nothing of lesser bereavements, for I was tho younger of a large family. I have had ns much persecu tion as comes to most people. I have had all kinds of trial, except severe and pro longed sickness, and I would have been dead long ago but for the consolatory power of our religion. Any religion will do in time of prosperity. Buddhism will do. Confucianism will do. Theosophy will do. No religion at all will do. But when the world gets after you and defames your best deeds, when bankruptcy takes the place of large dividends, when you fold for the last sleep, tho still hands over the still heart of your old father, who has been planning for your welfare all these years, or you close the eyes of your mother, who has lived in your life over since before you were born, removing her spectacles be cause she will have clear vision in tho home to which she has gone, or you givo tho last kiss to the child reclining amid tho flowers that pile the casket and looking as natural and lifelike as she ever did reclining in the cradle, then the only religion worth anything is tho old fashion religion of tho gospel of Jesus Christ. I would give more in such a crisis for one of the promises expressed in half averse of the old book than for a whole library con taining all the productions of all the other religions of all the ages. The other religious aro a sort of cocaine to benumb and deaden tho soul whilo bereavement and misfortune do their work, but our religion is inspira tion, illumination, imparadisation. It is a mixture of sunlight and hallelujah. Do not adulterate it -yith one drop cf tho tincture of incredulity Another Bible "if is the "if" of eternal significance. Solomon gives us that "if twice in one sentence when he says, "If thou bo wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself, but if thou scornest thou alone shalt bear it.'' Christ gives us that "if" when ho says. "If thou badst known in this thy day the things which belong unto thy peace, but now they are hidden from thine eves." Paul gives us that "if" when he savs. "If they shall enter into my rest." All these "ifs" and a score more that I might recall put tho whole re sponsibility of our salvation on ourselves. Christ's willingness to pardon no "if about that. Realms of glory awaiting the right eous no "if about that. The only "if in all the case worth a mo ment's consideration is tho "ii" that attaches itself to the question as to whether we will accept, whether we will repent, whether we will believe, whether we will rise forever. Is it not time that we take our eternal future off that swivel? Is it not time that we ex tirpate that "if," that miserable "if." that hazardous "if?" We would not allow this uncertain "if to stay long in anything els.i of importance. Let some one say in regard to a railroad bridge, "I have reasons for ask ing if that bridge is safe," and you would not cross it. Let some one say, "I have reasons to ask if that steamer is trustworthy." and you would not take passage on it. Let some one suggest in regard to a prop erty that you are about to purchase, "I have reason to nsk if they can give a good title," and you would not pay a dollar down until you had some skillful real estate lawyer ex amine the title. But I allowed for years of iny lifetime, and some of you havo allowed for years of your lifetime, an "if to stand tossing up and down questions of eternal destiny. Oh, decide ! Perhaps your arrival here to.day may decide. Stranger thintrs than that have put to flight forever the "if of uncertainty. A few Sabbath nights ago in this church a men passing at the foot of the pulpit said to me, "I am a miner from England." and then he pushed back his coat sleeve and said. "Do you see that scar on my arm?" I said, "Yes ; you must have had an awful wound there some time-" He said : "Yes ; it neerly cost me my life. I was in a mine in England 600 feet underground and three miles from the shaft of the mire, and a rock fell on me, and my fellow laborer pried off the rock, and I was bleeding to death, and he took a news paper from around his luncheon and bound it around my wound and then helped me over the three miles underground to the shaft, where I was lifted to the top, and when the newspaper was taken off my wound I read on it something that saved my soul, and it was one of your cerm&fls. Good night," he said as he passed on, leafitfg P9 transfixed with grateful emotion. And who knows but the words I now speak, blessed of God, may reach some wounded sou) dep down in the black mine of sin, and ihai thefie tfrjfds may be blessed to the stanch ing of the wound and the' trters?! life of the bouI? Settle this matter Instantly, poSiff el7 and forever. Slay the last "if." Bury deep' the lat "if." How to do it? Fling body, mind afd schilifl a prayer as earnest as that of Moses in the text. Can yon doubt the earnestness of this prayer of the test? It is so heavy with emotion that it breaks dcrwn in the middle. It was so earnest that the translators in the modern copies of the Bible Were obliged to put a mark, a straight lino, a dash, for art omi33ion that will never be filled tip; Sdch an abrupt pause, such a Bud den snapping off 6'f the ?entellce !. You cannot parse my teit. If i3 rtfl Of fense of grammatical construction. Bift that dash put in by the typesetters is mightily suggestive. "If tbou wilt forgive their sin (then POmes the dash) "and if not, blot me; I fray Thee, out of Thy book. ' Some of the mdst eafneet prayers ever uttered could not be' parsed, and were poof speci mens of language. They halted; they broke" down, they passed into sobs Or gfdans of silences. God cares nothing for the syntax of prayers, nothing for the rhetoric of prayers. Oh, the worldless prayers ! If they were piled up, they would reach to the rain bow that af chest tho throne of God A deeD sigrt may mean more than a wholo liturgy. Out of the 116.000 words of tho English language there may not bo a word enough expressive frtf the aoUl. The mOst effective' prayers t havo heard have been prayers that broke- drrwn with emotion the young man for the first time rising in a prayer meeting and saying, "Oh, Lord Jesus !" and then sitting down, bury ing his face in the handkerchief, the peni tent in the inquiry room kneeling and say ing, "God help me," and getting no further ; tho broken prayer that started a great re vival in my church in Philadelphia. A prayer may have in style the gracefulness of an Addison, and the sublimity of a Milton and tho epigrammatic force ot an Emerson, and J-et be a failure, having a horizontal power but no perpendicular power, hori- zontal power reaching the ear of man. but no perpendicular power reaching the ear of God. Between the first and the last sentences of my text there was a paroxysm of earnestness too mighty for words. It will take half ot an eternity to tell of all the answers of earnest nnd faithful prayer. In his last journal David Livingstone, in Africa, records the prayer so soon to be answered : "19 March my birthday. My Jesus, my God, my life, myall, I again dedicate my whole self to Thee. Accept me, and grant, O gracious Father, that ere this venr is gone I may finish my task. In Jesus' name I nsk it. Amen." When the du3ky servant looked into Liv ingstone's tent and found him dead on his knees, ho saw that the prayer had been an swered. But notwithstanding the earnest ness of the prayer of Moses in the text, it was a defeated prayer and was not an swered. I think the two "ifs" in the prayer defeated it, and one "if" is enough to defeat any prayer, whatever other good character istics it may have. "If Thou wilt forgive their sins and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book." God did neither. As tho following verses show, Ho punished their sins, but I am sure did not blot out ono let ter of the name of Moses from the Book of Life. There is only one kind of prayer in which you need to put the "if," and that is the prayer for temporal blessings. Pray for riches, and they may engulf us ; or for fame, and it may bewitch us ; or for worldly suc cess, and it may destroy us. Better say, "If it be best," "If I can make proper use of it," "If Thou seest I need it." A wife praying for tho recovery of her husband from illness, stamped her foot and said with frightful emphasis : "I will not have him die. God shall not take him." Her prayer was an swered, but in a few years after the com-uu-nity was shocked by the fact that he had in a moment of anger slain her. A mother, praying for a son's recover from illness, told the Lord he had no right to take him, and tho boy recovered, but plimged in to all abominations and died a renegade. Better in all such prayers and all prayers pertaining to our temporal welfare to put an "if," saying, "If it be Thy will." But in pray ing for spiritual good and- the salvation of our soul we need never insert an "if." Our spiritual welfare is sure to bo for the best, and away with the "ifs." Abraham's prayer for the rescuo of Sodom was a grand prayer in some respects, but there were six "ifs" in it, or "peradven tures," which mean the same thing. "Per adventure there may bo fifty righteous in the city, peradventure forty-five, peradventure forty, peradventure thirty, peradventure twenty, peradventuro ten." Those six per adventures, those, six "ifs" killed thenr-vir. ana ssoaom went down and went untier. Nearly all the prayers that were answered had no "ifs" in them the prayer of Elijah that changed dry weather to wet weather, the prayer that changed Hozekiah from a sick man to a well man, the prayer that halted sun and moon without shaking the universe to pieces. Oh, rally your soul for a prayer with no "ifs" in it! Say in substance : "Lord, Thou hast promised pardon, and I take it. Here aro my wounds ; heal them. Here is my blindness ; irradiato it. Here are my chains of bondage; by the gospel hammer strike them off. I am fleeing to the City of Iw'fuge, and I am sure this is the right way. Thanks be to God, I am free ! " Once, by the law, my hopes were slain, But now, in Christ, 1 live acrain. Vitrl the Mosaic earnestness of my text and without its Mosaic "ifs," let us cry out for God. Aye, if words fail us, let us take tho suggestion of that printer's dash of the text, and with a wordless silence implore pardon and comfort and life and heaven. Vor this assemblage, all of whom I shall meet in the last judgment, I dare not offer the prayer of my text, and so I change it and say, "Lord God, forgive our sins and write our names in tho book of Thy loving remem brance, from which they shall never bo blot ted out." - The Next Paris Kxpositiou. France is already beginning to prepare for the universal expD3ition of 1900, and if that exposition is not entirely ready for the official opening as the history of world's fair-i makes it safe to predict it will not be it will not be for want of beginning the work of preparation in time. The site has not yet been selected definitely, but it is suspected with some reasonableness that the govern ment officials favor the location occupied by the exposition of 1S9. though they art mak ing pretenses of examining other proposed sites with a great deal of particularity. The Commissioner-General has been se lected, however, and his appointment caused not a little surprise. He is M. Alfred Picard, a Counselor of State, who has. been acting as president of the commission appointed by the Minister of Commerce and Industry to pass upon the availability of the different sites submitted for the fair. M. Berger. a promi nent official of the Exposition of 1839. was almost sure of getting the appointment, and it was even said it had been promised him by Minister Terrier. His failure to get it is ascribed to the government's dissatisfaction with his course in the Chamber of Deputies, of which he is a member. Mr. Picard is forty-eight years of age. He was a pupil of the celebrate ! Polytechniquo School, and after his graduation there entered the government School of Bridges and I.oads. He served with the engineers during tho Franco-Prussian war an 1 was promoted to be chief of the engin jer corps at Verdun. He was appointed state counselor in 1381 and ma le section president in IS? He has the cross of a grand officer o' the Legion of Honor and holds tho position of inspector geueral of bridges and roadways of the first class. Tjaborers for South America. The Oiitral and South American Oriental Commercial Company has just closed a con tract with brokers in China to suppIv thirty thousand Chinese laborers to planters in Cen- ! tral and South America. It has also closed ; a contract with the Peruvian Consul General to supply planters in Tern with ten thousand laborers recently arrived from China and Japan. The company was incorporated for the purpose of supplying laborers from China and Japan to planters in Central and South America at a cost of $100 for each Japanese laborer and $ 150 for each Chinese.

The matter consists of thr. parts, the first be ginning With a copy of the instructions given Mr. B'Icmnt on March 11, 1893, prior to his departure frcTm Washington for Honolulu , the second his report,- and the la?t part end ing with a brief letter under date f July 21, 1898. Mr. Blount arrived at Honolulu March 2:T. 1893. In his report he calls attention to his recerrtion by Minister Stevens, who, 'M-eiim-panied by a committee from the Annexation Club, rarflo on board the vessel which had brought me. He informed me that this club had rented an elegant house, well fur. lushed add provided with servants and a carriage arid horses for my use, that I could pay for this accommodation j ust What Ichose, from nothing up. He urged mo try e.-ir-nestly to accept the offer. I declined it, and informed him that I should go to a hotel." The committee renewed the offer, which Was declined. He also refused to accept prof fered favors from the ex-Queen. Concerning the position of the United States in the islands he says: "The troops from the Boston were doing military duty for the. Provisional Government. The American (tag was floating over the Government Uuild ifig, Within the Provisional Government conducted its- business under an American protectorate, td be continued, according to the avowed purpose of the American Minis ter, during negotiations STith the I'm'too"" States for annexation. "My instructions required me to rru:kejn. quiries which in the interest of candor and truth could not be done when the minds of thousands of Hawaiian citizens were full of uncertainty ns to what the presenceof Ameri can troops, the American flag and the Ameri can protectorate implied. It seemed neces sary that all these influences must be with drawn before those inquiries could be prose cuted in a manner befitting the dignity and power of tho United States. "Inspired with such feelings and confident no disorder would ensue I directed the re moval of tho flag of the United States front the Government Building and the return of the American troops to their vessels. T!ih was accomplished without any demonstra tion ot joy or grief on tho part of the popu lace " Mr. Blount then tells how Minister Stevens called upon him with W. C. Smith, who r p resentod that the withdrawal of the United States marines meant that the Japanese would land troops from a nian-of war in tho harbor. The American Minister expressed his belief in the statement. One bit of his testimony is a. certificate from F. Wuudenberg. This witness wa a deputy clerk of the Hawaiian Supreme Court and claimed that his information wn th rived from personal attendance at all tli i conferences of the Committee of Safety with which he claimed to have acted "in good faith" up to the time the Stars and Strip s were hoisted. eunderberg says that the Committee of Safety met at 4 p. m. January is. 1 .:. mi l decided that it was not ready for the landing of the American troops an-1 sent a com mittee to tell Minister Stevens of their de cision. He is said to have replied : "Cientle. men. the troops of tho Boston will land at 5 o'clock this afternoon whether you are ready or not." The troops were lauded after business hours when all was quiet, and Wunderberg testifies that nobody appeared t know why they were there. The committee came together again thut evening and invited John H. Sopor to act .is Commander-in-Chief of the forces to support the new Government which was to be de clared. Soper declined the appointment until after Mr. Stevens had been communi cated with and had definitely promised re cognition of tho Provisional Government andthe support of the marines of the Bos ton. The new Government was proclaimed, ac cording to Wunderberg, nt 2.40 p. m. "i January 19, beforo a dozen or more loungers and thirty confederates, with American ma rines under arms in temporary barracks n t a hundred yards away. Wunderberg declares that the basis of ac tion throughout was the general understand ing that Minister Stevens would keep his promise to support the movement with tiie Boston's men. Otherwise, he testifies, fie movement would not have been attempted, or if attempted would have ended in misera ble failure, followed by tho imprisonment r death of those who participated. A long interview with Mr. S. A. Dane n. president of the Advisory Council of the Pro visional Government, also embodied in tho report, reveals the story in a different light. He stated that the Committee of Safety sepa rated and traversed the streets with 'ltion to avoid the Queen's police. J. O. Carter, one of the leading revolution ists, informed Commissioner Blount that hi was one of the delegates who went to inform the Queen that she was deposed. He had leen told that Minister Stevens had re. ag nized the Provisional Government and coun seled tho Queen to avoid a demonstration by her forces that might eause a conflict w:ii the United States Government, and that h'r case would be justly considered at Washing ton. The report makes it appear that Minister Stevens recognized the new Government before it was installed, and that such recog nition was flourished as a weapon to assist in intimidating the Queen into abdication. Says Mr. Blount : "The leadersofthe rev -Iutionary movement would not have under taken it but for Mr. Stevens's promise to protect them against any danger fro;;i the Government. But for this their maM meeting would not have been held. "But for this no request to land the troops would have been made. Had tho troops not been landed, no measures for the organiza tion of a new Government would have been taken. The American Minister and tl n revolutionary leaders had determined oa annexation to the United Stats, and ha 1 agreed on the part each was to act to t! very end." In conclusion of this report, for the r -mainder is made up entirely of statistic d matter and a disquisition upon the trad f the island and the character of the popula tion, Mr. Blount says ; "That a deep wroi J has been done the Queen and the native ra by American officials prevades the nativ' mind and that of the Queen, as well as ' hope for redress from the United State there can be no doubt. "In this connection it is important to note the inability of the Hawaiian pc -pie to cope with any great power, an I their recognition of it by never offer! ii ' resistance to their encroachments. Th4 suddenness of the landing of the United States troops, the reading of the procla mation of the Provisional Government almost in their presence, and tho quick re -ognitionby Mr. Stevens, easily prepared b- r for the suggestion that the President of th-i United States had no knowledtre of thse o currences and must know of and approve or disapprove of what had occurred at a future time. "This, too, must have contributed to k-r disposition to accept the suggestions of Judge Widemann and Mr. Damon. Indee ! who could have supposed that tho .ircu.v..' stances surrounding her could havo been foreseen and sanctioned deliberately by the President of V. United States? "Her uniform conduct and the prevailing sentiment among the natives point to her be lief, as well as theirs, that the spirit of jus tice on the part of the President would re etore her crown." The Cape Cod (Jlass. cranberry crop thi year is the largest on record. A large part of the crop will be left to rot on tho vines owing to poor prices. THE NEWS EPITOMIZED. KasfcTtfand Middle States.
