correspondence Will probably show that |
the atlIninistra ton has done all i'm its !
power by the aid of diplomacy to- right
the wrong from its standpoint done the
Hawaiian monarchy. and that the sItua-
ton is now one for the congress of the
United States to. d.s'l with. In other
words that diplom roy has failed to- re-
store the conditions .Nisting prior to the
revolution. and congress must now d.
ode whether other Il, ,l'.s tre to- be en-
ployed.

wall promises to be the important sub
! j(c: before the senate: The president will
| q amply with the rcuue SITS of both house
| Of congress for copies Of all the recent
correspondence on the Hawaiian que stion,
and it is considered almost certain that
| whatsoever condition Of affairs the cor
respcndence and the message accompany
ing it may reveal, the senate will find in
it text for numerous speeches. The
programme in the senat tie includes the re-
| ception OF the presidents Hawaiian mes
| sage and speeches by Senators Hans
brcuSh and Dolpl, the former in c2plana-

the subject of the tariff
Washington, Zee. 19-'rhc fight ovei
the Hawaiian matter in the house fol-
| lowed fast and furious on the heels of
the reading of the message which was
delayed on account of the pension de-
bate until $50. The first skir1nish o.
Cured over the question of reading the
instructions to Minister Willis, which
was insisted upon by Mr.. Boutelle of
Maine. The house GSnally agreed to
this, and Immediately after the con-
clusion of this reading Mr.. Boutelle re-
newed the assault by bringing forward
Il resolution declaring the administration
policy inconsistent with the spirit Of the
constitution and the traditions of the
government. Great excitement reigned
and in the confusion Mr.. Boutelle failed
to follow up his parliamentary advantage
and was ruled out of order. A resolu-
ton of Mr.. Cochran for the appointment
of a committee Of seven to investigate the
alleged invasion by the territorial in
tegrity of the United States of the last
administration also went under IA re-
taliatory objection of Mr.. Boutelle. The
confusion was so great that the sergeant
:,t:rms was called il. to preserve order.
AT adjournment was caused by the lack
of quorum on motion to go into Gin
,nittee. Party feeling =; very high ut

no doubt the struggle will be continued
as soon as opportunity offers in the
house tomorrow.
In the sera te the lorg-look for mes

tons Of this government end this country
to the Hawaiian islands was received
and it's reading listened to most attentive
ly. A request by Mr.. Chandler Of New
HI mpshre for the reading of the III
structions of Minister Willis led to a
debate of an hours duration, and they
were finally read The message and ac-
companying documents are now before
the senate, the pending question being
on the motion Of Mr. Hoar of Massl
cl usetts to refer them to the committee
on foreign relations.
