THE RESTORATION POLICY.
fnY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIDUNE.1
Washington Nov 23.-The failure of the Sec
ond steamer from Honolulu to bring news OF the
restoration of the monarchy by Minister Wits
has added II anything to the perpleXities ana
baern in which the President and Secretary
Gresham have been plunged ever since the hrst
disclosure of their unpopular and dlscreditapie
Hawaiian policy. Taught by their experiences
of ten days ago to conceal their real 1eehhes
and expectations. Administration ofiiciais seuu-
lously denied having any hopes OF hear1hs u!
.o-days mails Of the successful execution OF 'he
furtive plot for the overthrow OF the PROVISIONAL
Government and the restoration to power OF the
corrupt and dissolute Queen. Their former pre-
dctions that Liliuokalani would be BACK upon
her throne within twenty-four hours OF Minister
Willis's landing at Honolulu have been care
fully withdrawn and repudated. and the impress
sion is sought to be given at the State Depart
ment not only that Minister Wiliss uheN-
na,ned naction had been fully anticipated but
that IL had been authorized in the PRESIDENT
original instructions to his outgoing diplomatic
agent.
Beneath all this effort to make Mr.. Wilis's
failure to upset the Provisional Government
and to restore the Queen to her own harmo-
nize with the earlier and more frankly expressed
authorizations of a sudden and forcible coup
d.etat the real worry of Secretary Gresham
and his subordinates is clearly visible The

to intervene between to-days mail ana the next

postponement is felt to be unfortunate IN every 8,
