by minister of the United States in the name Of justice. The falseness of a situation thus created by giving secret inst uctions to the minister of the United States to intrigue for the overturn of the government which had been formally accredited does not seem to have struck the administration. It did strike the people of the United States, however, and public opinion had spoken and would speak still londer, and if success was to be gained it must be gained quickly. Therefore, on Nov. 24, ten days before the assembling of con- grese, the secretary of state telegraphed Willis to put en end to the delay. (You will insist,) said the instructions, (upon an amnesty and a recognition of the obligations of the provisional govern ment as essential conditions of restora- tion. All interests will be promoted by prompt sction.) How the interests of the existing friendly government of Hawaii were to be promoted by prompt action in restoring the monarchy is not self evident"
 The report discusses the presidents peculiar position in imposing upon the queen as condition precedent to rein statement certain paremptory demands as to amnesty, which were tantamount to an absolute dictation and completely subversive of the independents sovereign ty of the government to be reinstated i; and continuing, says: "The ex-queen was evidently distrustful of the influence or powers of the president, and asked what assurances she would have for the faithful carrying out of the scheme on the part of the administration. Whatever may have been the form of her request the answer, true, but tardv, was tele- graphed Willis on Decemb Der 8, the day before the opening of congress, You will say the president cannot use force without authority of congress- There is no question here before us of annexa- tion. No issue as to the propriety of Minister Stevens action, for as to that we know only one side. prepared by an agent hostile to the administration of which Stevens formed part. There is no ground for debate now as to whether the present Hawaiian government was rightly or wrongly established nearly twelve months ago.
 The issue is directly before the house whether to approve or condemn the course of the present administration as disclosed by itself. If the president without the consent of the senate can send 8 paramount diplomatic officer to supercede minister, leaving the latter only routine duties, he may do it in Great Britain or in Germany as we'll as in the Hawaiian islands. That officer, according to the presidents apologists, is only the presidents commissioner and not an officer in the diplomatic ser- vice of the United States. The same right asserted here to appoint an am. bassador under the name of a commis sioner would allow the president to ap point any agent of his own without conference with any other branch oi the government and to exercise judi cial functions paramount to judges al ready in office by and with the senate's consent.
 ''It is significant fact that thus far no resolution in either house of congress has been introduced approving the opinion of the secretary of state or en- dorsing the presidents action. If the administrators purpose is to reinstate the queen, congress must carry it out, for the president has at last shuffied his policy off his hands to be acted on by the legislative branch of our govern ment. When majority is prepared to fulfill the presidents behests it must propose legislation. Until that is done the country must take for granted the president is not to be approved by his party. After 8 review and considera- ton of the course of this administration as appears from it's own records, the
