BY a curious circumstance, one may
look at the newspapers of the day for
information 1t to one portion of the Ha-

not explain. The President has not
chosen to inform Congress what his in

published, written, it Is stated, by Mrs
Willis, wife of the Minister, under date

LONDON. Dec. 9.--Neither the Foreign
OGce nor the Htwaiian representatives
has any advices concerning Hawaii
from Auckland. The Associated Press
showed ambassador Bayard its advices
from Auckland, and after reading them
he said: President Cleveland will deal
with the weak Hawailans in most
magnauimous manner and will not
force on them Government which
they had not full chance to
discuss
Regarding the dispatches published
here today, indicating that Cleveland
has sent instructions to Hawaii revers-
ing his policy there, Bayard said: There
can be no reversal of a policy based
simply on justice and magnanimity.
Cleveland'H policy is one of non interior.

toward Hawaii is not a selfish one on
the contrary, ClevCland's intention is
that no advantage shall be taken of the
weakness Of the Queens party, and that
the Queen shall have a fun and fair
chance to get ON her feet, if possible.

been so weakened by late events that |
hardly know whether Hawaiians can

Ut the allegations was that the prosi-
dent, ON the ith day Of March 1893, the
Senate then being ia session, commits
stoned person to 20 TO Hawaii, ac-
.relitiug him as commissioner from this
Government, and said in the letter of
instructions that ho was TO bc para
mount as the representative of the
United States in the Hawaiian Islands.
IF that allegation was true said
Mr.. lloar, 1T seems to me as gross a
violation OF the constitution Of the
United States rs ever was charged upon
or imputed to any public official. 1t is
not necessary to say to the Senate or to
the American people that the attempt
to usurp the power of appointing or
commissioning such an officer without
the consent of the Senate was an attempt
to usurp all diplomatic relations of the
Government.
Hoar read an Associated Press cable
gram from London. attributing to Bay,
ard statement that there could be no
reversal of policy based simply on
Justice and magnanimity, and that no
advantage woula be taken of the weak
ness of the Hawaiian Islands. He said
if that dispatch were true it was also
true that Great Britain had been taken
into confidence which the administra-
ton, the Senate and the American peo-
pie had not shared. In the course of
his speech Hoar said when it was known
the Presidents message had been pub
lished in London in the morning papers
IN advance Of its delivery to Congress,
1t was supposed 90 be one of those acct
dents for which nobody was especially
responsible, but no such explanation
could be made in this case. Hoar said
he desired the Hawaiian question sepa-
rated from all questions in regard to
which the parties were divided.

WASHINGTON, December 5.--Senator
Hoar started the Hawaiian ball to roll
ing by the presentation of a resolution
requesting the President to commune
cate to the Senate instructions given
Representatives of this Government in
Hawaii since March 4, 1891. This
resolution went over, owing to the alb
sence of Chairman Morgan of the
Foreign Affairs Committee.
WASHINGTON, December 6.-The Sen
ate at to.day's session by unanimous
vote adopted the resolution presented
by Senator Hoar yesterday, requesting
the President to furnish the information

Hawaiian trouble. This agreement was
not reached. however, until after a
debate that is tonight the chief topic of

A DEMoCRATIC SENATOR TALKS


And His Conclusions satisfy the Repub-
lican senators.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.--Senator Vest
held for a while to-day the attention of
the Senate in the discussion of Ia-
waiian matters. 1t will not give much
comfort to the President or to the Sec
rotary of State to know that MIR, Vests
conclusions were Endorsed by such
eminent Republicans as Senator IIoar
and Senator Frye. Mr.. Vest insisted
that the ultimate solution must be that
/ the people of the Hawaiian Islands
must decide for themselves what form
of government they will have. He also
/ insisted that it cannot be possible that
/ the President ever ordered Minister
/ Willis to restore the Queen to power by
force.

WASHINGTON December A CHEEKY
December day, a bright sun which cast
heavy shadows about the columns of
the great Capitol building, the sward
beneath as bright and fresh and green
as 1t sometimes is in the month of June,
and the flags at half mast in memory of
the two vacant seats within-that was
the picture which the Capitol presented
this morning as the gavels fell in the
two houses of Congress at the beginning
of session which promises to be one
of the most eventful in our history.
Inside the two chambers there We're
the Usual greetings of the opening day
One might have thought that tine mem
beers had been absent since last March
instead of the scant month which has
interviewed since the extra session
ended.
There was no legislative business
transacted, except to listen to the mes
sage. What the members thought of
the message, SO far as they have begun
to think at all, will generally be told
along party lines.
But there is an admission on the part
even of the most jealous Administra-
ton supporters that it is fiat and life
less document, and that in the few
parts where strength and vigor were TO
be expected there are only to be found
conventional platitudes and the drear
and turgid st, lie which characterizes all
of the state papers of Mr.. Cleveland.
Interest attached chiefly to two pas
sages of the message, the one which re-
lated TO Hawaii and the other which
treated of the tariff. Those passages
being read, Congress generally We're
willing to skip the heavy phraseology
which constituted the paraphrased in
dex to the departmental reports.
As to Hawaii the worst belief which
the people have had is verified. The
President does not choose TO take into
his confidence the American Congress
in IA matter which involves the tearing
down of government which has been
recognized by the United States and
whore Ministers are accredited here
and IN building up of another by plac-
ing monarch upon throne. But the
President does say that it is his
purpose to put back the deposed Queen.
Everything, in fact which has been
said by Mr.. Blount appears to
be Endorsed by Mr. Cleveland

JAPAN AND HAWAII.

WASHINGTON, December lit can be
stated positively that Japan has no pur-
pose of assuming n protectorate over
Hawaii in case the United States should
lose or abandon its status there. Reports
have been persistently circulated of late
us to Japan's intentions of advancing her
control over the islands, and in a state
mcut published to-day Henry Smith of
Buffalo, who has Just returned from
Hawaii, says that if the Provisional
Government retires it will be succeeded
by protectorate by Japan or Great
Britain. At the Japanese Legation here
this statement was declared to he vision.
ary, so far as Japan was concerned. The
japanese war ship sent to Honolulu some
time ago was in order to insure protec

| This was not step toward acquiring

and she has no other possessions IN that

station. Moreover, it was added, the
interests of Japan undoubtedly will be
best served by maintaining her present
relations with Hawaii. These are
guaranteed by treaty and give the
Japanese on the Islands many privileges

Japan would not care to disturb. The
