WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-The speeches Of sena-
tors Hill. Hoar and Sherman yesterday. de-
| nouncing the attitude Of the Administration
| on the Hawaiian question. have been the tonic
| Of conversation in Washington to-day. Presi-
| dent Cleveland and Secretary Gresham would
no doubt be astonished II theJ could know the
| real feeling Of the mass Of Congressman on
this question, regardless OF party. Senator Hill
bit the bulls eye in his peeoh yesterday as
he did last summer when, at an opportune
moment. he pressed his motion for . change
In the Senate rules that would allow
the transaction OF business favored by
the majority. He gauRed the popular
feeling then, and now he has done 30
again. His attack upon the President not
only for his Hawaiian policy. but for his action
in conoeallng from Congress the steps that
have been taken By the Administration toward
restoring the Hawaiian Queen, is endorsed by
at least two-thirds OF his Democratic col
leagues In the Senate and by the Republican
Senators unanimously. 1t is not yet known
whom the President will condescend to reply to
the resolution OF Senator Hoar demanding all
the papers In the case. II at all. but this Is not
material. The public will be soon In possession
OF all the facts In the Hawaiian case from
other sources, and then . debate will take
place in the Senate which will make plain to
the President. II he does not realize 1t now. the
awful blunder that he has made and the
unanlmity with which the Democratic party
disagrees with him.
There was much surprise yesterday at the
weak and pointless defence OF the Adminis-
tration made by It's spokesmen. Messrs. Villas
and Gray. The fact developed to-day. how
ever that neither OF those Senators was In the
confidence OF the President and they we're
not able to defend him. because he has not
seen ht to furnish the Information which he
has kept locked up in the desk OF Sec-
retary Gresham: 1t was evident Yesterday
that Msssrs. Villas and Gray were not In
formed: because, while tho former was protest, S
.nas .ns ,bs Fn,s,an u, pa,st,ars rommit

that there was no objection to its passage
