Cleveland Will Lead the
Democrats.
THEY MUST FOLLOW HIM
Even to the Length of Favoring
LiliuOkaIani.
MANY WILL BREAK AWAY.
The Question That VIII Absorb All
Interest at the Coming Session
of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-The Hawaiian
incident is attracting much attention in
commercial circles, and Congressman still
in the city evince lively interest in it. It
is already accepted as Inevitable that the
matter will come up in Congress as soon as
the session opens. All indications point
to division on strict party lines. Re-
publicans will take Cleveland's position to
be a reflection on Harrison's action in the
premises and will doubtless attack him
therefor. Democrats expect this, and are
preparing TO be put on the defensive.
Congressman Hit, ex-Assistant Secre-
tary of State, has come out in condemna-
ton of the movement to restore the de-
posed Queen. Congressman Springer OF
Illinois, however. says he is in thorough
accord with the administration on the
question and believes, as he says. that as
the Queen could not have been overthrown
without the aid of the United States
marines, she should be restored.
Democrats believe that at the opening
of Congress Clevelan will send in mes
sage in which he will make public many
facts hitherto unknown to this country,
which may put the case in an entirely new
light. This is expected. especially in view
port has never been given out. Springer
opposes annexation. but says it is the duty
of the United States to assure the nde-
pendence of Hawaii and to make it cause
of war for any other nation TO attempt an
nexation.
Congressman Geary of California. a
member of the Committee on Foreign AT
fairs, to-day said: "All the facts are not
before the people yet. and l would prefer
to say nothing until later. AS member
Of the committee it would be indiscreet in
me to express an opinion on matters that
may come before US tor consideration"
Congressman Storer of Ohio, member
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, de-
elared to-day he would never vote dollar
to sustain the administrations Hawaiian
policy. II have seen none of the nom bers
of the Foreign Affairs Committee" he COR
tinued. shut for one will not aid the ad-
ministration in its attempt TO restore the
| Queen to the Hawaiian throne"
| The great fear of all the friends of the
present Government of Hawaii is that
Minister Willis will push President Dole
to an immediate decision and demand the
prompt surrender of his authority on the
ground that the Provisional Government
IlS6II put a lIuliC TO The duration Oh ITS own
authority and that the limit expires when
it is decided that there is no chance of an
nexation to the United States.
There have been rumors from the State
Department that the United States has not
entered upon its attempt to restore the
Queen without thorough understanding
with all the foreign powers, and it is said
that tha Government has received assur-
ances that no objection will be raised to
it's plan. Great Britain will unquestion-
ably welcome the restoration of Queen
Liliuokalani and the prospect of the early
accession of Princess Kaiulani. as the best
hope that the government of the islands
will be distinctively in British interests.
BY the convention of 1S43 France and
England agreed to refrain from ever an
nexing the Hawaiian Islands or taking
them under protectorate, but England
has never ceased to try to influence the
control of the local government to her in
tereSts.
The restoration of the Queen affects
United States interests in Pearl River
harbor. for when the use Of this harbor
was granted to the United States there
was q reciprocal consideration for the free
entry Of Hawaiian sugar into the United
