Ing the Hawaiian Matter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I'm the Senate
yesterday Senator Hoar's resolution
calling for information relative to Hawaii
was laid before the Senate and the
author proceeded to attack vigorously
the course pursed by the Administration.
Hoar declared that to undertake to
overthrow the existing government at
Hawaii would be an act OF war; and
that the suggestion that the United
States had acted with undue haste in
recognizing that government had
nothing to do with it. The establish
ment of that government was a fact,
and not a question OF right or wrong.
1t was manifest Mr.. Hoar thought,
that the Presidents intention in the mat
ter of Hawaii was a thing which the
Senate and people were entitled to un-
derstand without DELAY. If the thing
had noG been done yet, there should De
swift and indignant remonstrance on the
part of the American people against it
which would reach even the dull ears of
the executive"
Mr.. Mills spoke OF Mr.. Hoar as "shell-
ing' the woods" before he obtained the
informatio which his resolution called
for. He denied that the President was
meditating an act of war. and asserted
that the President had respectfully sub
mitted the question to Congress. The
real question was whether the govern
ment of t he United States had interfered
to overt throw the existing government
of Hawaii. lfit had, it was the duty
of the President of the United States,
representing the government, to make
prompt reparation and to relnstate
the government w b ch it had overtime wn.
