the president hoped to have the hearty
cooperation of the administration. After
having righted the wrong done by this
government, the United States would
assume it's policy of fnon-interference.
The belief is growing that Minister
Willis instructions do not include the
employment of force. A rather cordial
reception was accorded yesterday by
Secretary Gresham to Minister Thurston's
official call, and the formal acknowledge
ment of unsevered relations between the
legation and the government makes il In
credible that instructions have been given
the land marines In Honolulu for the pur-
pose OF aggression upon the goyernm ent
which Mr.. Thurston represents.
The original right of Queen LiIiuokalani
to the throne of Hawaii was by nomina.
tion of her brother. Kalakaua. The
Hawaiian constitution provided for this
mode of succession. When q monarch
failed to provide successor the choice re-
verted 10 the upper house of the legisia-
ture. When Lunaliio died in 1873, after
brief reign, he had named no successor.
The house of mobiles choose David kala-
kaua. lie had been police court lawyer
in Honolulu, and played a banjo at dances
for q consideration. His wife, Kapiolani,
had been the widow of South sea island
missionary. At one time she helped sup
port her husband by washing clothes.
kalakaua's mother was of blood below
the chiefs, as was his reputed father. 1t
is notorious, however. that kalaksua's
real father was = negro barber. kalakaua
and his full sister Liiiuokalani show a wide
divergence from the Hawaiian racial type.
their noses are hatter. their hair kinkyand
their lips much thicker than the pure
native type. The late princess, like the
mother of Princess kaiuiani. half sister
TO LiIinokaiani, was OF pure native blood.
and her appearance Is in marked contrast
TO that of her brother and sister.
An official Of the administration ac-
quainted with NIL that has been done
about Hawaii. and who speaks by the card
as to the sentiments and opinions Of those
who have brought about the changes said
TO an Associated Press reporter today:
The action OF the administration will
go down ia history one of the glorious
acts Of the United States. the righting Of
a wrong.
''Rut IL this restoration Of the queen has
30 be maintained by force OF arms, would
IL not subject the administration TO severe
criticism, even If the justice Of the restora-
tion has 10 be acknowledged r. he was
asked
THAT feature OF the affair do not feel
at liberty 10 discuss" he replied, and then
went on 10 say that the theory OF the sd-
ministration was this: The provisional
governments vas established merely TO ex-
ist until the islands were annexed TO the
United States. The United States refused
10 annex the islands. and the provisional
governments has ended"
This statement is explanatory OF the
understanding that Minister Willis has
two sets of credentials. one to the pro-
visional government, the other TO the
queen. The provisional government will
be recognized Until the treaty OF annsxa-
ton is rejected. when IL 10 assumed TO
have ceased to exist and the Old status Is
naturally resumed. Minister Willis viii
bring 10 the provisional government the
hrsi Official information Of refusal Of au-
nsxation. Having made this known TO
President Dole, il IS assumed The pro-
visioBal government would have no
further standing or existence, and Minister
Willis would then recognize the govern
rnent Of the queen, and that would end
tue matter. Ia other words, the admins
tration position Is shat this government
has not thrown down any government,
but merely. upon one governments eeas-
ing 20 exist. Il recognizes the old regime.
