eminent is simply this: When the Queen
turned out the Wilcox ministry, violated
the constitution upon which her sover-
eignty was based and attempted to make
1eW constitution, her right to rule ceased
because she had destroyed the very foun-
dation upon which the monarchy stood.
Then the Provisional Government took
possession and as everybody knows has
been in possession ever since. Even Chief
Justice Judd, whose father. DR.. Judd, was
warm supporter of the monarchy, even
as far back as Kamehameha, and who held
office under the monarchy. declared at the
meeting in Honolulu that the Queens
sovereignty had ceased. The monarchy
simply became functus officio by its own
acts"
"Are the planters unanimously in favor
of it?"
"Well, all but the Spreckelses. What
the planters want and what every intelli-
gent man wants is some stable form of
government. At first the idea was one of
annexation. [ myself am an annexation

benefit the planters is question, for

Mr.. Spaulding said he went to the islands
on bis last visi: BIZ the same steamer which
conveyed Minister Willis.

ment and breadth of mind. He went there
possessed Of the idea that all the trouble
had been starred by few missionaries, but
when he got there he was soon disabused
of that notion"
The only thing new Mr.. Spaulding said
that had occurred since Mr.. Jones left had
been the discharge of w undenberg, the
deputy clerk of the Supreme Court, who
was of such service TO Commissioner
Blount, and several other clerks, among
them the son of ii. A. Wideman, who had
loaned Lliuokalani some money. 1t had

Gresham is permitting it to go abroad that
the correspondence between the State De-
partment and Minister Stevens has been
tampered with. and the reply of Blaine to

has been abstracted. The truth is Gresham
knows the correspondence has not been
disturbed in any way. The dispatches are
there in their numerical order. Among
them is Blaine's response TO this letter,
and the response is merely an acknowledge
ment of the receipt of the letter, without
answering any of the questions.

Der of the chiefs before him and ordered
them to dispense with all their wives but
one each. Plenty Bear, the war chief CT

was too old to change his habits and would

Ray ordered him arrested. but the Indian
police refused to obey and Plenty Bear left

his arrest has been ordered. He is guarded

Deliberate Parpose to Battle Liberal
Legislation Until the Leader
Is Out of the Way.

NEW YORK. Dee. 16.-HaroId Frederic
cables the Times from London: Ii the
election in Accrington division of Lam
cashire next Thursday turns out well for
the Liberals it is quite within the posi-
blities that we shall have dissolution of
Parllame Mt next month and the whole tre-
mendous uproar of new general election
in February. 1t cannot be described as
more than fair possibility, and so far as
is known no hint OF any such intention
has been dropped from official sources,
but the logic of the situation clearly in
cludes resort to this bold and risky de-
vice. The situation itself is I'm nprecedented.
The records of over fifty years show moth
ing resembling it in substance, while in
spirit it defies parallel anywhere in
British parliamentary history. What is
happening does not concern these islands
alone. Quite as much as tie recent strug-
gle in the Senate at Washington. it affects
the vitality and value of all representative
institutions.
The present contest. which does not pre-
tend to be anything but open obstruction,
is being waged over the parish councils
bill. Although its second reading was
carried without division the House has
since been kept twenty-five DAYS in COM
mlttee on only the first part OF it, and the
leaders of the opposition publicly declare
that they will prolong the discussion of the
remainder at the very least an equal
length of time. In self-defense the Min
istry has curtailed the Christmas holidays
from Friday TO Wednesday, but even then
it is not seen how the bill can be got
through in time to begin the new session
oriV or fn rhn
appropriations by the necessary date.
This is the principal consideration. but
almost as important is the TACT that large
proportion of the officials of the House,
including the Speaker, broken down by
the strain of overwork, have taken to their
beds. The sick list among the members.

GENERAL DlMOND TALKS.
His Opinion on the Condition of
Things at the Islands.

General w. Ii. Dimond, who returned a
short time ago from the Hawaiian Islands.
says In regard to the situation that hs
previous good opinion OF the ability and
character of the men at the head of the
Provisional Government had been strength
ened by his late visit.
He went on: There is no doubt but
that the Provisional Government and its
supporters will resist any attempt against
them. Some of the mem bers would die in
the last di'ch rather than yield to any
force that Cleveland could bring to bear
for the restoration OF the monarchy,
Others preferred a less radical resistance
There is. however, no disseHsion among
them, and the council will act unanimously
in every thing.
There seems to be among the royalists
more people who would prefer the. Princess
Kaulina on the throne to the restoration
Liliuokal alani. Again there are people who
fear The present Government will degener-
ate into an oligarchy or despotism, and In
support of their fears they point to the
eagerness for Office shown by certain men.
1.-The Provisional Government is cog
infant of these facts. and, in consequences
of the failure to bring about anDexaton, is
considering the best n ntstiatIS of 0rganiz-
ing representative Government This
will be work demanding wisdom and
patience. Among the difficult question 5
will be the extent of native representation.
But this difficulty can be overcome by a
moderate and just policy. The natives
when unexcited are easy to deal with. The
traditions of their race would lead them to
favor some kind of monarchy with one of
their native princes at the head. But If
no personal hardships are involved, the
kanakas can easily be reconciled to a
change.
I'm regard to Blount's report, it Is de-
nounced as false by the Provisional Gov
ernment and lauded by the royalist party.
The naval officers and marines of the
United States have made no concealment
of their sympathy with the revolution,
and would be unwilling In any way to
help to Oust the present government. But,
Of course, neither officers or men would
refuse to obey orders, and it will be only
from sense Of duty and habits of disci-
pliDe, n OF from any desire TO see monarchy
restored that they will take up arms
against Government and a movement t
which they recognize as American in char

CLEvELAND's INSTRUCTIONS.
He Ordered Willis Himself to Restore
the Queen.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-No one seems
to have any definite knowledge as to when
Cleveland's Hawaiian message will be
transmitted to Congress. One press asso-
citation says Monday and the other says
further advices from Honolulu are being
awaited. The later report is probably cor
rect.
Much astonishment is expressed by those
who are Informed as to the facts in the
case at the course of the State Department
in permitting and, as it is believed. en-
couraglng the insinuation gone abroad that
damaging letter from Blaine to Stevens
has been abstracted from the files of the
State Department. 1t is positively
Known TO some who are now on the
outside that the files of the correspond
ence 10 the Hawaiian matter prior to the
incoming OF this administration are COM
plete, ana the fact cannot help being
known to Gresham himself, who has had
the Mes very carefully searched. All cor
respondence In the State Department ia
numbered In consecutive ORDER and a care
ful examination of the files of correspond
ence In the Hawaiian matter during the
Harrison administration discl0ses the fact
that the numbers throughout run con-
secutively. and that no dispatch has been
abstracted.
This fact, it is asserted. has been re-
ported to Gresham, and yet the insinuation
goes forth that letter by Blaine is miss
ing. For some days the very few gentle
men in Congress who are willing to defend
the administration on faith, and who
therefore are more or less in the confidence
of the State Department. have been in
cip of ha od into
tIon that letter from Stevens and one In
response TO it from Blaine would be dis
closed which would make it uncomforta BILE
for the defenders OF the Harrison admin

came the publication of Stevens letter,

statement that fine calabash will be for
waroed by native political society by the
Australia to-day, bearing the following in
scriptlon; "To j. III. Blou Mt, from the
hui kalaiaina. for services rendered"
The Honolulu Bulletin and other royal
lists deny the statement in toto. while
some. including members Of the native
society, admit its truth. but deny the cor
rectness of the in scription as given.
Interviews with prominent roy alists show
that many of them have given up the hope
OF immediate restoration and believe the
tuation will be reviewed by Congress.
Others are of the opinion that the ex-
Queen will be restored within fnrty-eight
hours after the arrival of the steamer
Alameda on the 21st inst. In speaking on
this point members of the Cabinet said
they did not think any action would be
taken uion the arrival of the Alameda,
although should Cleveland determine to
urge matters. they would be Immediately
otified by Minister Willis as soon as ne
received such orders. This much he had
promised The Government verbally.

The temporary or permanent restoration of the

The resolution was presen ted TO the
Executive Council of the Government and
the following reply was received from
Attorney Smith: ''In regard to
your resolution against propositions of
compromise which may have in view tenn
porary or permanent restoration of the
monarchy. we need only say that the reso-

the Provisional Government.
Among the passengers on the steamer
Australia was u. S. Spaulding of New
York, who was Secretary Stewards conf
Dental agent 10 the Hawaiian Islands in
1867, and afterward American Consul at
Honolulu. Mr.. Spaulding is now one of
the planters warmly upholding the Pro-
visional Government.
When p. G. Jones, the ex-Minister of
Finance. arrived here on the Oceanic, he
alluded to Mr.. SpauldIng as being likely
to follow on the next steamer, and said
that though neither Of them had any
official connection with the Provisional
Government whatever, yet it might be
good thing for them both 10 be handy at
Washing on In the event Of a Congressional
inquiry. Mr.. Spaulding explained at the
Palace last night tnat he was simply re-
turning home after visit to his planta-
tion and might not go even there direct,
for he would In all probability 60 first to
New Orleans and make a trip to Cuba.

this: If the United States steps In and

the reply. $50 far as the white element ia
