overwork demands that he shall take oc-
caSional rest. He is CHEEKY and hopeful.
He expressed the hope the Congress Of
the United States would aid Hawaii in
reaching her ultimate destiny, from
which he believed neither diplomatic in
trlgue nor force could long deter her, and
affirmed he firmly believed that such
steps would be taken on the opening OF
that body as would do away with the ne
cessity of the Provisional Government
meeting the proposed policy of restora-
ton with force, which must certainly re-
suit il Cleveland's Administration at
tempted to again saddle q native mon
archy upon the white population of
Hawaii.
Among the AnneXationists the idea of
the establishment OF a commonwealth in
Hawaii, in case the present Government
be taking deep root. In case such plan
should materialZe in future, the Ameri-
can model will likely be followed.
Suffrage in the lower house would likely
be without restriction, while representa-
tives to the upper house would be elected
upon a property and "English education"
qualification.
This morning the United States reve-
nue. cutter Corwin arrived unexpectedly
Corwin dropped her anchors in naval
row, Captain Munger came ashore, and
went at once to the American legation

half an hour returned to the Legation.
President Dole assured the Associated

before or after the sailing of the Mariposa,
looking toward restoration, this Govern
ment wished it announced in the most
public manner that such negotiations
would make no headWay here, and If
pushed would be absolutely rejected by
the Provisional Government.
1.-The Provisional Government" said
President Dole, has arranged every de-
tail for protecting life and property and
is also well prepared TO resist with force
ment, if attempted by external means.
Yes, you can say that if the worst comes
we will make stubborn resistance,
and" said the President, smiling, you
know as well as we do that it will be q
hard fight"
At 1:3O P. n. the regular session Of the
Executive and Advisory Councils was
held. The question was asked by Cecil
Brown of the President:
HAS the Government received any ad-
vices or dispatches by the Corwin ?''
''It has not" replied President Dole.
''Has the Government received any Of
fetal communication" continued Mr..
Brown, from the American Minister
since the arrival of the COrwin ?"
President Dole replied: 1T has not"

goods, considered that the situation here
was growing too hot for them. and that
if it continued they proposed to leave the
islands.
Late this afternoon a visit to the eXecu-
tive building showed an active state of
preparation, and the officials expressed
themselves as ready for the unex pected,
should it happen. Royalists are uneasy
at the prospect, and anneXationiSts de-
clare that if they are fated to go down it
will be with colors flying and in actual
war.
Ats O'Clock this afternoon Admiral r.
win and staff called at the American Le-
CATION.

ity in January, 1893, and illegally aided in
OverthrOwing the constitutional Govern
ment Of Hawaii, and setting up in it's
place a Provisional Government not re-
publican in form. and in opposition to
the will OF the people of Hawaii; there
fore
''ResoE9ed, That it is the sense of this
House that such Intervention by the
Government Of the United States, its
representatives or armed forces is con-
trary to the policy and traditions OF our
Republic and the spirit of our Constitu-
ton, and should be and is emphatically
condemned"
Following is the resolution. which en-
bodies the views of the minority:
WHEREAS, Executive communica-
tions to Congress disclose that the Execu-
tive Department has been furnishing to
Il Minister Plenipotentiary of the United
States secret instructions to co-conSpire
with representatives and agents of de-
posed and discarded monarchy for the
overthrow of friendly republican Gov
ernment, duly recognized by all civilized
nations, to which said Minister is ac-
credited. and to which his public instruc-
tions pledged the good faith and sym
pathy of the President, the Government
and people of the United States.
"ReSotUed, 1t is the sense of this House
that any such Intervention by the Execu-
tive Of the United States, its civil or mill
tary representatives or officers, without
the authority OF Congress, is dangerous,
unwarranted, an invasion of the rights
and dignities of the Congress of the
United States and is in violation of the
law of nations; and, further, that The
manner OF such attempted Intervention
by the Executive and the methods used
are unworthy of the Executive Depart
meat of the United States, while the con-
fessed intent OF such intervention is con-
trary to the policy and traditions of the
republic and the spirit of the Constitu-
ton"
