Agitation for the removal OF the
Royalists from Office will probably rest
in allowance until something definite is

EXTRA, 1O:3OA. M.-President Cleve-
land proposes 20 restore the monarchy.
Our press having been delayed till late
this morning, waiting for the Alamedas'
arrival from Auckland and Sidney, and
the edition hayiog been printed without
the expected news, we hasten TO give in
an extra the more important items re-
ceived by Us. AS President Cleveland
can act ia the Hawaiian matters only by
the authority OF Congress, IL remains TO
be seen how far Congress will sustain
him 10 the proposed restoration OF the
monarchy. AS the telegram comes via
London, 10
MAY NOT BE STRICTLY CORRECT,
but we give it as received. The following

message 70 Congress in favor Of restOr-
ing the monarchy in Hawaii.

SAN FRANCIsCo, CAL, November %.
The steamship Alameda, from Sydney
and Auckland via Honolulu, arrived in
port before nine o'clock this morning,
bringing news that nothing of special
Importance had transpired at the Ha-
Waiiau Islands since the Australia left
there nearly a week befOye. The ar
rival of the Alameda has been anxious
ly awaited. and preparations had been
made 90 secure promptly any news
which she might bring. The copyright
letter or the Associated Press was re-
ceived 40 o'clock, and placed on the
wires 40 once for transmission East. II
was an hour or two later before any pas
sengerS on the steamer could be seen, in
order 20 Obtaia from them personal ac-
counts of affairs az Honolulu. Besides
the Associated Press letter the steamer
also brought copies of an extra edition
OF the Honolulu Commercial ADVERTISER
published just before the steamer left
Honolulu,>whlch cOntaiueda dispatch
dated Washington, November End, and
received in Honolulu by way of
Auckland, New Zealand, stating that
President Cleveland was preparing a
message TO Congress in favor Of the
restoration of the monarchy in Hawaii.
Interviews with prominent persons Of
Honolulu indicate that there was a gen.
eral diSbeliefin the correctness Of the
dispatch, but it was also noticeable that
according 20 the majority OF statements
10 was evident that such a policy on the
part Of the United States could not be
carried out without protest If not resist
ance from the provisional government.
The Alameda brought only ten cabin
passengers from Honolulu and there
were no prominent persons among them.
The majority were ladies.
The Hawaiian newspapers have very
little editorial comment on the political
situation on the iSlaud.
The rOyaliSt paper, the Bulletin, in
commenting on the recent events says:
There is one thing as clear as the
sun in the present situation. The
United States distinctly repudiates the
pretended right OF the provisional gov
eminent Of Hawaiian Island TO offer
this country 20 the United States"
To this the Hawaiian Star replies as
follows:
"The United States have made no re-
Dly whatever as yet to the annexation
proposal. Should they do so in a mega
tive way, it could not be because they
had questioned the authority Of gov
