entering the palace pal-ace I saw Mr Wilson and asked if r all was sw ready He replied yes and then I sid reay Youll have to be brave and r today I went to the blue room awaited the ministers After some de hay they arrived and I judged from r their countenances that something a wrong A few days before I had planned plan-ned I would sign the constitution in the throne room in the presence of t members of the legislature many whom had been elected for the purpose of working for the new constitution At the commencement of my reign peti Lions were sent from all parts of the kingdom tons asking for a new constitution constitu-tion A month later with two members mem-bers of the legislature I started in to make a new constitution from that of Kamahakeha and that of 1887 After T it in the hands completing it 1 placed of a person asking him to correct and revise it He consulted many lawyers and others regarding it and when it wa returned I found no changes had I tjeen made so concluded it was all right Early in January I mentioned rIght Eary I to Captain Nowlein of the Household I Guards and Marshal Wilson my Intention tention to promulgate a new consti tenton to them tution and told them prepare selves to quell any riot or outbreak from the opposition They assured me they would be ready and I gave a strict injunction redy gve of secrecy and showed Wilson the plan of the throne room on the day of sign ins Parker and Conwall gave me assurances surances of their support before their appointment a ministers While I Peterson undoubtedly understood my intention and Colburn heard i from Peterson it appears that Colburn on I I the morning of the 14th of January te acted the part of a traitor by going to Hartwell a lawyer and received Instructions from him to strongly advise t ad-vise me to abandon the ide This was the cause of the delay In the Blue i rom w When the ministers arrived I told them everything in the throne room w ready I a surprised when the cabinet informed me they I did not think it advisable for me to take such a step that there was danger in a uprising etc I told them I would not have undertaken it i they had not encouraged me They led me out to the edge of the precipice preci-pice and are now leaving me to take the leap alone I Its humiliating I said why not give the people the constitution and I will bear the brunt of the blame Peterson said to me not to read the constitution I told him he had i in his possession a whole month The minister left Parker to try to dissuade dis-suade me from my purpose and in them the-m tme they went to the government govern-ment building t inform Thurston and party of the stand I took Of course they were instructed not to yield The ministers returned and I asked them to read the constitution over I then asked them what was injurious in the document Peterson said some points he thought were not exactly suited I told him the legislature could make the amendments He begged I should wait for two weeks and in the mean weets te Urns they would be ready to present it to me With this assurance I yielded and we adjourned to the throne room I stated to the guests present my reasons telling them I was to promulgate a new constitution at the request of my people that the constitution con-stitution of 1S87 was imperfect and full of defects Turning to the chief L defect Trnng justice jus-tice I asked I i not so Mr Judd and he answered in the affirmative I then informed the people under the I advice of my ministers that I yielded a they promised and on some future day I could give them a new consti cnst tution J then asked them to return I to their home and keep the peace I heard the commotion below in the t yard and hurried to the front ver anda and from there addressed the I people saying their wishes for the new constitution could not be granted just then fut would be some future day They must go home and keep the peace and pray for me which they have done ever since Everything was i quiet in the palace all that night On Sunday Parker advised me the reform r party was holding ameeting All Sun day everything seemed quiet On Mon i 3y the ministers issued a notice of the r osition I took and the attempts made mae a promulgate a new constitution at h earnest solicitation of my people my native subjects They gave the assurance that any changes desired In the fundamental law of the land would i be sought only by the methods provided in the constitution itself and signed by t myself and ministers It was intended i to reasdure the people About 5 oclock however troops from the United States ship Boston were landed by order of Minister Steven Ste-ven in a secret understanding with the revolutionary party The statement state-ment of circumstances tending to the yielding of authority to the provisional government did not differ from the statements already made After detailing the subsequent ap peals t the government 01 the united States she says President Harrisons term expired and
