ADMINISTRATION TALK,

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-A morning paper publishes story signed HI. w
 Walker" purporting to give some of tn
 secret advices received by Gresham
 from Willis. It is asserted that Willi
 notified the state department that h.
 had fixed upon Thursday of thu
 week as the date of restoration ol
 Liliuokslini.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-A local paper
 this afternoon publishes Washing
 ton dispatch saying it is contidentially
 asserted at the state department that
 the queen was restored to the Hawaii
 an throne yesterday. Gresham an6 colleagues make the assertion in z matter -of-fact way rather staggering to anti-adminlstration men. According to high official the administration had not the least doubt the queen had been restored. Willis's report did not leave the slightest doubt of the restoration on the appointed day.
 AS TO THURsToN.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. - Minister Thurston, of Hawaii, is not likely to receive his passports although it was said at the state der artmet this morn- ing there was abundant ground for such acton, were it in any other coun- try or in this country under any other circumstances his passports would be issued immediately.
 The United States claimed his letter is breach of diplomacy and amply sufficient to warrant this government in immediately severing all relations with the Hawaiian minister. Such ac- tion would be taken but for the reason that American people might not think it fair play-that the right of any man to talk and give his side of controversy is always conceded and to force Thurston to leave this country would be considered by the people a disposition not to allow the other side hearing.
 
 the publication of the statement by Thurston vitally interested party in the outcome of the Hawaiian affair and not an official statement of the Hawaii an minister.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Loring A. Thurston, Hawaiian minister, today made a statement for publication. He says: "A large portion of Blount's re- port consists of personal attacks on me and those associated with me Tn the provisional government, impugning our veracity, good faith and courage, charg- ing us with fraud and duplicity. AL though he states that 1 was the leader of the revolutionary movement he never asked me question nor gave me an opportunity to make statement
 "The same IS true of a large number of other men who took prominent part in the movement of last January His evidence consists exclusively of afidavlts or answers to leading ques- tions put by himself at private inter- views. no one else being present but stenograpbers. There is no oppor- tunity in his cross examination to con- tradict or explain the evidence"
 Thurston enters specific denial of Blount's statement that Stevens and Wiltze acted m collision with the revo- lutionists. He says the troops did not cooperate with the committee on safety, and the committee had no more than did the queens gov ernment, where the troops were going or what they were going to do. The result of the movement would have been eventually the same if there had not been a marine within thousand miles of Honolulu. The committee on safety was openly organized for the avowed purpose of overthrowing the queen, and there was no attempt at of the object and inten- tions of the committee. The queen and her supporters were united and had ample force to execute the pur- pose.
 THE ADMINISTRATION SATISFIED.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-At the state today it was said the news papers had been given everything in the Hawaiian matter except the ln- to Willis. It is stated that the instructions will be made public in Honolulu and come to thls country. l It is asserted that the information re- ceived on the Australia is highly satis- | factory to the administration and show ed just the progress expected. The belief was expressed that the change had already been accomplished, and that the next steamer would bring the im- portant information that Minister Willis had carried out the instructions and the restoration of the queen was con- plete.
