VII Be Given Out by the state Depart
meut-Ths substance OF Minister
Biount's Report Contained In Gresham's
Letter.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November I'm
ouiry fails to develop at the Capitol any
response to the suggestions which have
come from some parts Of the country, most
especially from the Pacific coast, to the ef-
feet that the President should De i'm
cached for his course in the hawaiian
natter. Senators and members when
lsked to express themselves upon this
phase Of the question refuse to consider
10 seriously or TO discuss it at ell The
most that ..ny OF them will say is that no
question of that kind can be properly
raised at this time, when so little is
positively known Of the plans of the ad-
ministratiOn with reference TO Hawaii.
Furthermore, it is noticeable that back z
all the carping on the question on the par ?
of those who criticise the course of the
present administration, there is feeung
that there is no disposition 70 place the
country in q position that will be perma'
nently embarrassing or injurious 70 our IN
terests or harrassing 20 the nations pride.
Many do not really believe that the ma
rines will be called out
TO RESTORE THE QUEEN,
whatever the circumstances under which
she was depOsed, and some say that even
if they should 0e they should want TO see
Mr.. BlOuut's report and also Minister Will
liss account of proceedings so as 70 knOT
lust what ground the government stood
upon in performing this act and Just how
il was done.
Where Mr.. Willis is known he is highly
regarded as a man Of Just instincts and
much national pride, aud his friends say
he Is not apt % do anything rash, II, after
taking time TO look the situation over he
finds that the President aud Secretary Of
State have been miSled. He is, on the
other hand, prompt TO act, and if his or
ders are imperative he has accepted the
mission with the understanding that he is
20 perform this service regardless Of con-
sequence, which all who know him doubt,
or il he Is left with discretionary
powers aud after investigating the situa-
tion be should decide that 10 was in accord
anCe with the requirements Of Justice and
in no W Sc derOgatOry 70 the interests and
dignity of tle government and Queen Lii
uokalani, be would 80 TO the greatest
length his instructions would justify in
performing that service.
There is enough coming to the surface 70
indicate that the question Will receive q
great deal Of attention
AT TIE HANDS OF CONGRESS
during the approaching session, and il is
very evident that there will be some very
sharp speeches upon the subject even
though Congress should take no action of
anv kind whatever.
Secretary Gresham, in hurried moment
of departure from the State Department
to-day. gave a few words Of information on
the Hawaiian question TO an Associated
Press reporter. He said with some em-
phasis that there was to be nothing further
given QUITO the subject. The much talked
Of BlOunt report is not 20 be given 20 the
public 1t was, indeed, strongly intimated
that there was nothing ia the report that
was not indicated in the Secretary's letter
to the President.
he went on 70 say that il was not true
that anything further had oeen dispatched
to Minister Willis. This assertion seems
TO be meant as an intimatiOn that Minister
Willis has received his instructions in full
and is fully equipped 70 act in all contip-
gencies.
