has made no advances. This country
is the more anxious for a reciprocity
treaty. This resolution should ask full
information of the Government as to
its action and intentions
Mr.. Gibson said he had prepared a
report of the Department of Foreign
Affairs, which is not yet out of the
printers hands, which will contain
full answer to all the gentleman's inter-
rogatories. He would anticipate the
report enough, however, to say that
His Majesty's Minister has been in
structed to secure, if possible, con-
tinuance of the treaty. The treaty is
signed by this Government and now
awaits the action Of the United States
Senate. No cession of Hawaiian terri
tory has been under contemplation.
