GcoNCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE
the present government, by Its own de-
clared limitation, was only s'to exist until
terms of union with the United States of
America have been negotiated and agreed
upon," hoped that after the assurance to
the members of that government that such
union could not be consummated I might
compass peaceful adjustment of the diff
Guilty.
Actuated by these desires and purposes,
and not unmindful of the inherent per-
plsxities of the situation nor OF the limita-
tions upon my power, INSTRUCTED Minister
Willis to advise the queen and her sup
porters of my desire to aid in the restora-
ton of the status existing beforei the last
less landing of the United States forces W
Honolulu on the 18Th of January last, If
such restoration could be effected upon
terms providing for clemency as we'll as
Justice to all parties concerned. The con-
ditions suggested, as the instructions show,
contemplated general amnesty to those
concerned in setting up the provisional gov
eminent and recognition of all its bona
fde acts and obligations. In short, they
require that the past should be
buried, and that the retired government
should resume its authority as II Its CONT
nuity had not been interrupted. These
conditions nave not proved acceptable to
the queen, and though she has been
informed that they will be insisted upon,
and that, unless acceded to, the efforts of
the president to aid in the restoration of
her government will cease, have not thus
fer learned that she is willing to yield
them her acquiescence. The check which
my plans have thus encountered has pre-
vented their presentation to the members
of tho provisional government, while IN
fortunate public misrepresentation of the
situation and exaggerated statements of
the sentiments of our people have obvi-
ously injured the prospects of successful
executive mediation.
therefore submit this communication,
with Its accompanying exhibits, embracing
Mr.. Blouuts report, the evidence and
statements taken by him at Honolulu, the
instructions given both Mr.. Blount and
Minister Willis, and correspondence con-
nected with the affair in hand.
In commanding this subject to the ex-
tended powers and wide discretion of the
congress- desire to add the assurance that
I shall be much gratifed to co operate In
any Legislative plan which may be devised
for the solution of the problem before us
which is consistent with American honor,
integrity and morality.

There are a great many Elec-

supposing that they are Dob

anything, from the finest lace
