THE KlNGLY AIRS
Of the administration Will Not Pc
Tolerated. Saws CuIIom.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-Iu a brief
interview today Senator Cullom ex-
pressed the opinion that congress would
take up the Hawaiian question in very
vigorous way. He said there wo uld be
an early demand for all the reports
bearing upon the question.
Il can hardly say" continued the
senator, what congress can do, as the
treaty has been withdrawn. but there
is nothing to prevent very general eX-
preston OF opinion upon the part of
congress, and il in the meantime it
should develop that the ueen has been
restored to her throne by the interven-
ton of the United States, there is no
telling what might be done.
The country will not tolerate the
klngly airs assumed by the present ad-
minlstration. My opinion is that its
best course is to 20 into bankruptcy,
where, by its policy, it has forced so
many good men,"
Senator Mitchell. of Oregon, arrived
in the city yesterday, having come d.
rect from San Francisco. He was asked
by an Associated Press reporter today
to express his opinion concerning the
attitude of the people of the Pacific
coast toward the Hawaiian question.
Il have talked" he replied, with
great many people in San Francisco and
at other points on the Pacific coast. and
can say that the general sentiment in
that part OF the country is very decisive
and emphatic in opposition of what the
people there seem 10 understand 10 be
the policy OF the administration, and
their understanding when | left there
was that this policy looked 10 an over
throw of the existing government and
the re-establishment of the queen"
Being asked whether the sentiment in
favor of the impeachment of the Dresi-
dent. as expressed by some of the San
Francisco papers. was shared by the
people generally, Mr.. Mitchell replied:
1T is true some OF the papers have made
this suggestion. but that is a matter l
am not AT liberty to refer to. as in cases
OF Impeachment the senate Is the jury.
and ii would be manlfeStly out of place
for member of that body to discuss the
! question" Tne senator did not, how
! ever, hesitate at saying that he believed
! that the sentiment or the Pacific coast
was that the present government of the
! Sandwich islands ought to be let alone
! by the United States.
at is said he. Ito say the least, a
! government in the fact, which has been

MIR. Willis has been accredited to this

we are correct in the impression which
we are justified in entertaining, Mr..
! Willis is instructed to use his influence
and the influence of this government,
either diplOmatlcally through peaceful

say, this view OF the case Is correct. it
| presents an anomaly in diplomacy. 1t
presents, l think l am safe in saying, a
case heretofore unknown IN the annals
OF international courtesy. There would
be as much consistency IN Instructions
to our minister 10 France to Investigate
the meaDS by which The present form of
government in that country was in

it and restore the BouTbons or Bona

1t is ridiculous and would be laughaDle.
