probably will not go to Congress
before Monday, as the steamer sails
from San Francisco to Honolulu
tomorrow.
All that the State and Navy de-
partments have collected on Ha-

President Van Horne of the Cana

plate any arrangement between the
islands and the Dominion that
would turn the tide of trade through
the steamers of the Canadian Paci-
fc. AS Van Horne stands in a
powerful position politically his
influence would go a long way in
sustaining the move to get control
of Hawaii and its trade.

WHAT VEST THINKS.
To use Force Would be An Act
of War Not to Be Tolerated.

Senator Vest, speaking of the Ha-
waiian question, said ::
GAS I understand the condition of
affairs in Hawaii, the Provisional
ment. 1t is today the de facto Govern
ment, and any assault upon it by an
armed force on the part Of the United
States or any other country must be
an act of war which can alone be
brought by action of Congress. / do
not understand that Gresham meant
that an armed force would be en-
ployed."
Coming to the instructions to Willis,
Vest said: "If it should turn out that
those instructions were to restore the
queen by armed force no one will
deprecate it and none resist the doc
trine to any extremity more than my
self. repeat that it would be an act
of war. 1t seems to me impossible
that the Secretary of State and Presi-
dent of the United States should have
come TO the conclusion that without
action by Congress they could do any
such thing. But, as / understand the
position oil the Administrator now, as
given In the instructions to BlOunt, 1t
is simply q repetition and affirmation
of the time-honored doctrine of our
country in every Administration-the
avoidance of interference, except so
far as it was necessary to protect,
under International law, the property
and persons of American citizens. 1

Defends Stevens.

more information on the Hawaiian
matter.
Referring to Blount's report he said
in his judgment it was the most danger

Senator can afford to make any serious
attack on the character OF any private
citizen of the United States.

unprejudiced opinion, nor rendered one
impartial Judgement"

down. / have had reliable information
since come into the Senate this morn

to break down the Queens Government

ment."
Gray requested Frye's authority for
such a statement but, the latter said he
was not at liberty TO give it.
Vest disclaimed speaking as the advo-
cate or special defender of the Admins

warmly defended Blount, saying a purer

HOAR'S RESOLUTION.
He Demands of Cleveland
CATEGORICAL Answers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lin the
Senate no one expected debate on
the Hawaiian question until the
resolution calling for information,
passed by the Senate last week,
had been complied with by the
executive. To-day Hoar submitted
another resolution calling upon the
President for specific answers to
questions which, literally complied
with, would lay before the Senate
and the country, the history of the
actions of the present administra-
fson-on the Hawaiian matter. After
a lively debate between the author
of the resolution and Ray the re-
solution went over until tomorrow.
The resolution is as follows:
THAT the President be request
ed to inform the Senate, if in his
opinion it be not inconsistent with
the public interest, whether any
person whose name has not been
submitted to the Senate for its ad-
vice and consent, and, if so, what
person has been appointed since
the fourth day of March, 1898, to
represent the United States in the
Hawaiian Islands, aud whether
such person has been accredited to
the President of the Executive and
Advisory Council of the Hawaiian
Islands, and whether such P son
has been presented to the head OF
the Government of the Hawaiian
Islands; and whether any, and, il
so, what authority has been given
to such person touching the rela'
tions of this Government to the
then existing or other Government
of the Hawaiian Islands and the
protection of American citizens
therein, and whether any discretion
or power has been committed to
