ment with reference TO Hawaii, . determh-
nation Of what this policy will be having
been reached two weeks ago at cabinet
meeting The secret has been well guard.
Ell, hut there IL no reason to change the
opinion formerly expressed by our CORE
spon,lent that the administration believes
Il to bc the duty Of the United States sim.
ply To maintain order In the Sandwich
Islands while permitting the people TO vet
up their own government In their own way.
Illustrative of this part OF the message
will be the long report made by Commis-
sionsr Blount concerning Hawaiian affairs.
This report will create something OF SEN
| sation. N u will contain renections OF ase-
we're nature upon the former munster 10
Hawaii and upon certain officers OF the
navy who participated In the 30 called re-
bellion against the queen. IL J. also be-
licyed the president will discuss the Bra.
| lillian situation, which is expected TO clear
up by the time congress meets. The Efforts
which the state department. 10 making 70
preserve the life OF the seal herdsof Alaska
will also be reviewed.
The Currency system.
SO far as currency legislation IL concern
ed, Il Il believed the president will recon.
mend abolition OF the tax on state banks,
although he will insist upon the most care
ful regulations for the protection OF the
holders of notes that may be thus issued.
Primarily the president Is not much In IN
but he feels that lie should make some con.
ces,ious to the silver wing Of the party and
IN the southern states, which he can well
afrorl 10 do I'm this hour of his triumph
over the antirrpeal forces. The president
ba. Leen eompelici 10 decline all invitations
10 leave .bine,on. A, he has an immense
smonnt NJ work pIled up ON his desk. Not
only bs. he the message to prepare, but
,hese delicate foreign affairs require good
I..I of his attention. and a large number
nj ,mnor,ant amendments are pending.
Som. Of the Democrats who were disap-
,oint,,i nj the result of the silver fight
IN congress are still criticising the pres.

The Tariff and Mckinley.
Since the result Of the election Ia Ohio
became known there has been an increased
amornt Of talk here concerning Mckinley
nr nr,.lJent I'm is.J. Nearly all the promi.
nen, Republicans who are now In the capi.
raj believe Mr.. Mckinley to he the coming
man. Their idea Is that the new Democratic
tariff biII will meet with something like
Nm. same fate before the country that Mr.
NcKinIey's measure met with three years

who had been abused unjustly and who
was perhaps not - bad man after all. IL
