Daily advertiser, 60 cents per month. Delivered by camera. CAPT. PALMER SPEAKS. He Explains the Position of the Transcript.

Mk. Editor: As I am asked almost daily what are the opinions of the newspaper I represent, or what sentiments I entertain towards royalty or republicanism, perhaps you will find me space to make a general statement in your columns. The Transcript is perhaps the oldest daily paper in Boston, in that it has never really changed its tone, policy or proprietorship for over sixty years; its price is fifty per cent, higher than any other; its general tone is although it has never hesitated to support a Democratic candidate for any office when that candidate was just the man for the place; it therefore does not merit that offensive slang term, "mugwump," because in condemning President Cleveland it did no differently from what it always has done; it bolts no nominations, because it is not and never was a party paper. It publishes but one edition at is the favorite paper of the best educated class of my native city, containing not one word, in matter or otherwise, which may not be read aloud in the family. It opposes annexation, not by reason of the Hawaiian situation, but from regard to I he conservative policy of the United States.

In your local difficulties it has from the ii'st allowed such writers as Hon. Gorhani D. Oilman, Dr. C. F.

Nichols, Mr. Nath. Haskell Dole (all of whom are in sympathy with the Provisional Government) the free expression of their views in its columns. Further than this, you know as much of its position towards royalty or as I do. I have never been employed iu its office or editorial rooms.

But under three editors, and for more than thirty years, no person outside that pale has contributed as much to its columns. It is to be supposed, therefore, that the compauy understood what they were doing "when they voted to send me here. I read in the papers that you had one correspondent "who did noble work for annexation;" it is known that you had another who came to sustain his paper in a position already taken; you have had others with British affiliations, etc. Now, I cunic without the least instruction as to the attitude I should assume; I may be mistaken, but I do not believe a correspondent has the least right to any public position. He is here as a chronicler of the opinions of each and all; that to my view clearly states his position.

And when he records these views, each has the right to see the position of his party stated at its very best, in the strongest language, the most convincing manner possible. If President Dole favors him with opinions, he must not take each point of His Excellency's views, set it up as a nine-pin in one phrase, to knock it down with his own ball in the next; if he talks with half a dozen of the native race, his duty is equally clear, to give to their half formed sentences the Lest expression of the they intend to convey; whether itisutteily false or no, is nothing to the recorder. He is no more than the court reporter, writing as spoken the witnesses' evidence, and the pleas of the plaintiff and defendant. After his official duty is done, after he has resigned his office, then and then only, save iu matters of fact or in vouching for his statements, is he free to write a line of his own sentiments. This is my aim, however imperfectly attained.

When leaving Boston, I was told that this position would be intolerable here; the statement was made to me by a person who has lived in Honolulu. But I have been here nearly three weeks, and do not find it so. I have resided here before. I lived in Virginia during the civil war; was never doubted, yet I was welcome in many houses where all done by Lee and Stonewall was heroism By those of widely divergent opinions, I have been received with the utmost kindness and courtesy; every effort has been made to fully inform me on any subject where information was desired; it would be difficult for me to decide whether royalist, or Hawaiian had shown the most friendly zeal. Having lived in all parts of the wide world, I consider that the cream of humanity, whateveryour politics, is at Honolulu, especially in hospitality to strangers; it is not equalled under the sun for this virtue, nor does It seem to be confined to any single class.

A man must be determined to make enemies if, with the single proviso of knowing how to hold his tongue, he finds them here, when he is a stranger; yes, even in such trying times as those through which ycu a're now passing. Julius a. Palmer, Jr. Correspondent, Transcript. Why Dr.

Talmage will JUetire. The Rev. Dr. Talmage, of Brooklyn, has given out the following statement "My resignation is positive. I will ask the presbytery at the spring meeting to dissolve my pastoral relations.

"I hope no effort will be made to retain me. I have expended all the nervous energy I have to spare on financial questions. "Fighting two great fires has taken all surplus futcey. I must keep my health for preaching the Jgospel. "I am in communication with no other church, and have no plans for the future." PIE DOLE'S SPECIFICATIONS.

DnrARTMEST of Foreign Affairs, Honolulu, H. Jan. 11, 1891. To His Excellency Albert S. Willis, United States Envoy iExtraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, Honolulu.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication dated Jan. 1st, in which you refer to my communication to you dated Dec. 27tn as "containing statements which I am fully prepared to show are not warranted by the facts, seriously affecting fho President of the United States and the representatives of the United States in this country; and that those charges and statements, if accepted as the official views of jour Government, demanded prompt answer and equally prompt action on the part of the Government of the United States, to the end that the condition of affairs therein described should be remov.d by the removal of the alleged causes." You also refer to the intervening correspondence between us, stating that my above-mentioned communication "brings for the first time the official information that the warlike preparations described by you were caused by and intended for the diplomatic and military representatives of tho United States." You further state that, believing upon further consideration I would realize the great injustico of my statements, you, on the 29th wrote suggesting thc withdrawal of my communication of tho 27th nit, and your reply, and that no copies be given to tho public or made a record by either Government; and on tho 31st stated to Mr. Damon that your note to me was "prompted by no improper or unfriendly spirit, but was intended to continue the amicable relations heretofore existinc." Yon further state that in my letter of December 29th, there is no "withdrawal or modification of the statements com plained of, but on the contrary, an ex pression of readiness, implying ability, to furnish thc specmcations requested. You also acknowledge the receipt of my note to yon, dated Jan.

1st, stating that it was not my intention to withdraw any of my letters, which note you state is unsigned by me. The omission of the snmature was unintentional. Yon conclude by stating that "I now have to ask that you furnish me at jour earliest convenience with the desired specifications, as I wish to make immediate answer." I will comply with your request. Before doing so, however, I desire to say, in reply to your communication of the 1st that 1 nave made no "cnarges against the President of the United States or its representatives. On tho contrary, in order that tlicre might be no misapprehension concerninir tho matter.

I specifically stated to you in my com munication of the 27th ultimo, "that 1 do not claim or intimate that tins unfortunate situation has been intentionally created by you or the Uovernment which you represent" I still disclaim any intention of charging you or your Government with intent to produce the results and conditions described in my communication of JJecember irtli. The object of my communication was to formally bring to your attention cer tain facts and conditions existing this eonntry, what, in my opinion, were the causes of the same, and to obtain from you such information and assurances as would tend to allay the prevailing excitement and apprehension. Concerning your statement above referred to, that my communication of December 27th contains statements which you are fully prepared to show are not warranted by tho facts, I would say that it would give me great pleasure to become convinced that the alleged conditions and facts referred to, did not in truth exist The matters hereinafter stated constitute in part the basis for my belief in the existence of the conditions referred to. and tho causes producing the same; but I shall be glad to receive from you any evidence tending to remove from my mind the belief that they or any of them did exist, and assure yon that upon becoming convinced that I am under misapprehension concerning any of such alleged facts, the allegations concerning the same will bo immediately withdrawn. Concerning your statement that my letter of Dca 29th contains "no withdrawal or modifications of the statements complained of," yon will pardon me if I saythat I was not aware that any complaint had been made concerning any statement made by me, yonr reply having been primarily directed to eliciting more specific information concerning certain points.

Referring to the suggestion contained in your note of the 29th, and your interview with Mr. Damon, that I withdraw my communication of Dec. 27th, I would say that to do so would have been in the nature of an admission that the statements therein contained were incorrect, which unfortunately in the absence of information which yon say yon are prepared to present, and with certain other evidence before me, it was impossible for me to do. Allow me to assure you tliat it was with deep gratification that I received yonr assurance that your communication to me of the 29th of December was prompted by no improper motive or unfriendly spirit, bnt was intended to continue the amicable relations heretofore existing and to further assure you that this and all other communications from this Government are written in the same spirit, and I trnst that no statement presenting the claims and views of this Government concerning nny matter of law or fact, may, by reason of its directness and distinctness be construed as otherwise than of a similar character. In compliance with your request for certain specifications concerning my letter of Dec.

27th, I reply thereto as follows: First You inquire as to tho meaning of the word "attitnde" as" used in mj letter. I reply that thc word was used by me in its ordinarily accepted sense, meaning tho bearing, the postnre as indicating purpose of thoso referred to. Yon further say: "Will yon point out where and when and how the representative of tho United States assumed any attitndo toward tho supporters of tho Provisional Government or that Government itself, other than ono essentially and designedly expressive of peace?" In reply I would say that the attitude of a person is to be ascertained only by inferences drawn from tho known words and acts of such person, and the conditions and circumstances under which they take place. Some of the words and actions of tho United States and its representatives in this connection, and tho conditions and circumstances attendant thereupon, from which its intentions and attitndo toward tho Provisional Government must be inferred, are as follow: 1. A treaty of annexation had been negotiated between tho Provisional Government and the United States Government and presented to tho Senate for ratification.

This treaty was withdrawn by President Cleveland immediately upon his entering office without prior noticeto this Government or its representatives of his intention so to do, or of his reasons for such action. 2. Immediately thereafter the President appointed Hon. James H. Blount a special commissioner to Hawaii to investigate the condition of affairs at Hawaii.

Tho knowledge of such appajntincnt was withheld from the representative of tho Government at Washington. The press having announced tho appointment, tho Hawaiian representative to the Stato department for information concerning tho same. Tho Secretary of State refused to stnte tho objects of thc mission or even to admit that a commissioner had been appointed. 3. On the 19th day of June, 1893, Mr.

Thurston, Hawaiian Minister at Washington, addressed a communication toMr. Gresham. Secretary of State, in which tho following language is used, viz: "I am directed by my Government to represent to yon that, whilo the Hawaiian Government has full confidence in the good faith of tho United. States towards Hawaii in and concerning its treatment of tho relations between the two countries, it seems proper that it should be informed as to tho effect the present nncertainty as to the ultimate course to be pursued has upon the situation in Hawaii. "Thc long continued delay aud tin certainty keeps the entire community in a feverish state of mind, by reason of which business is seriously affected, capital is rendered timid, thereby hampering all enterprises which are conducting their business on the Govern ment's credit and ability to borrow is prejudiced; tho expenses of tho Govern ment arc largely increased by tho necessity of maintaining a considerable armed forco for the protection of public order, and the enemies of the Government are encouraged to conspire against law and order, all or which is highly prejudicial and injurious, not only to tho Hawaiians, bnt to the very largo nmoimt of American capital invested in Hawaii, and the mutual trade now being conducted between the two countries.

"It is imiortant for the Hawaiian Government to know the intentions of thc United States Government concerning annexation at as early a dato as possible; as, if annexation is not to take place, tho methods of treating local conditions in Hnwaii must be radically different from those to be pursued if annexation is to tako place. "It is also important that, whatever tho intentions or the United Government may bo, concerning tho subject matter, the Hawaiian Government be informed what snch intentions are before thc same are ma 'q public, in order that it may consider tin -situation with full knowledge of all its ipects, and decide uixin such course of action as may be necessary to preserve order and protect the interests of the jicople of Hawaii "For thc reasons above stated I respectfully request that a decision maybe arrived at and communicated as speedily as i3 consistent with the inter ests of tho United States." No reply has ever been made to such communication. 1. Upon the arrival of Mr. Blount in the country he did not commnnicate or in any manner intimate to the Hawaiian Government that his investigations were to be directed toward the right of existence of the Government to whom he was accredited.

All of his investigations and examinations wero private, and such persons only were examined as he chose to call 5. An examination of his report since published, shows that there are statements by approximately sixty Royalist and twenty supporters of the Provisional Government That he had obtained no statement from tho four members of tho Cabinet voted out before the revolutionary attempt of the Queen, althongh he has obtained exhaustive statements from their Royalist successors. That he has examined only two of the thirteen members of the Committee of Safety, one of tho original four members of the Executive Council of the Provisional Government, three of the original fourteen members of the Advisory Council, two of the eight speakers who addressed the mass meeting called by the Committee of Safety on the day prior to the establishment of the Provisional Government, and hut ono of thc eight field and staff officers, none of the eleven lino officers in coujnand of the forces of the Provisional Govern ment, and none of the five twmmissionars sent to Washington, although rdl nch men omitted to be examined wero eye 4.
