eheir Views On the Hawaiian Quests
Given tO the Public

Given TO the Public.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-In brief in
terview Senator Cullom expressed the
opinion that congress would take up the
Hawaiian question in very vigorous
way. He said there would be an early
demand for all the reports bearing upon
the question.
IL can hardly say" continued the SEN
ator, what congress can do, rs the
treaty has been withdrawn, but there is
nothing to prevent a very general ex-
preston Of opinion upon the part of con-
gress, and if in the meantime it should
develop that the queen has been restored
to her throne by the Intervention of the
United States, there is no telling what
might be done. The country will not
| tolerate the kingly airs assumed by the
present administration. My opinion is
that its best course is to go into bank
ruptcy where, by its policy it has forced
so many good men"
Mitchell, of Oregon.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon arrived in
the city Tuesday having come direct
from San Francisco. He was asked by
an Associated Press reporter to express
his opinion concerning the attitude of
! the people OF the Pacific. coast towards
| the Hawahan question.
Il have tailed. he replied, with a
great many people in San Francisco and
Mt other points ,m the Pacific coast, and
can say that thu general sentiment in
that part 81 ssne country is very decisive
and emphatic In opposition of what the
| people there seem to understand to be
the policy of the administration
and rheir understanding when | left
there was that this policy looked to an
overthrow Of the existing government
and the re-establishment of the queen"
As to Impeachment Talk.
| Being asked whether the sentiment in
favor of impeachment of the president,
as expressed by some of the San Fran
cisco papers, was shared by the people of
the coast generally, Mr.. Mitchell re-
piled:
1T is true some of the papers have
made this suggestion, bat that is mat
| ter / am not at liberty to refer to, as in
cases of impeachment the senate is the
jury, and it would be manifestly out of
| place for member of that body to dis
cuss the question"
| The senator did not. however, hesitate
at saying that he believed that the senti-
ment of the Pacific coast was that the
present government of the Sandwich
islands ought to be let alone by the
United States.
A Recognized Government.
lit is, said he, Ito say the least, a
government in fact, which has been rec
ognized, not alone by our government,
but nearly every civilized government
of the earth, certainly by every govern
ment having representative in Hawaii.
Mr.. Willis has been accredited to this
government by the president. If, then,
we are correct in the impression which
we are justified in entertaining, Mr..
Willis Is instructed to use the influence
of this government, either diplomatic
ally through peaceful instrumentalities
alone, or by means of naval demon.

he is accredited. II, say, this view OF
the case is correct, it presents an anom-

am safe in saying, case heretofore un-
known in the annals of international

There would be as much consistency
in instructions to our minister to France

present form of government in that coun

overthrow it and restore the Bourbons
