WASHINGTON, Dec. AT 1873 today
Secretary Pruden delivered the presi-
dents message to the senate and it was
Said before that body by the vice-presi-
dent The secretary of the senate, Mr..
Cox, then read the message. 1t is as
follows:
The constitutional duty which requires
the president, from time to time, TO give
to the congress information of the state
Of the union, and recommend to its consld-
Grafton such measures as he shall judge
necessary and eXpedient, is fttingly en-
tered upon by commencing to the congress
a careful examination of the detailed
statements and all supported recommended
tiOns contained in the reports of the
heads Of departments, who are chiefly
charged with the executive work of the
government. In-an effort TO abridge this
communication as much as is consistent
with its purpose, l shall supplement
brief reference to the contents Of those
departmental reports by the mention of
such executive business and incidents as
are embraced therein, and by such recon-
mendations as appear to be, at this partic-
uIar time, appropriate.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
The President VIII Send Special
Report TO the senate.

The President VIII Send Special
Report to the Senate
1t is hardly necessary for me to state
that the questions arising from our rea-
tons with Hawaii have caused serious en-
barrassment. Just prior to the installation
of the present administration the existing
government Of Hawaii had been suddenly
overthrown and a treaty of annexation had
been negotiated between the provisional
government of the islands and the United
States and submitted to the senate for
ratification. This treaty 1 withdrew for ex-
animation. and dispatched the Hon. James
"A. Blount Of Georgia to Honolulu as a
special commissioner to make an impartial
investigation of the circumstances attend
ing the change of government and of all
the conditions bearing upon the subject OF
the treaty. After a thorough and exhaust
i've examination Mr.. Blount submitted to
me his report, showing beyond all ques-
tiOn that the constitutional government of
Hawaii had been subverted with the active
aid of our represen ntative to that govern
ment, and through the intimidation caused
by the presence of an armed naval force
Of the United States, which was landed for
that purpose at the instance of our minis
ter. Upon the facts developed it seemed
to me the only honorable course for our
government to pursue was to undo the
wrong that had been done by those repre-
senting US, and to restore, as far as prac-
ticable, the status existing at the time OF
our forcible Intervention With a view Of
accomplishing this result within the con-
stitutional limits of executive power, and
recognizing all our obligations and re-
sponsibilities growing out of any change Of
able interference, our present minister at
Honolulu has received appropriate instruc-
tions to that end. Thus far no informa-
tiOn of the accomplishment OF any definite
result has been received from him.
Additional advices are soon expected
When received they will be promptly sent
to the congress, together with all other in
formation at hand, accompanied by
special executive message fully detailing
ALI the facts necessary to a COMPLETE under

you will reconsider this conclusion. The
sentiments contained in your letter do

ism, but you must allow me TO dissent

myself of your entire fitness for the

know that all the malignant criticism
that has been INDUCED in regarding this

that the decent people who have doubted
its propriety have been misled, or have
missed the actual considerations upon
which it rests. We should not yield to
the noise and clamor which have arisen
from those conditions.
