ing for the papers from the President in
the Hawaiian Latter is deprived of its
sting in the committee room, there is a
pleasant chance for IA general display OF
anti Administration feeling IN the
House from both sides of the center
aisle.
Cleveland hopes to retain his hold on
the rank and file by threatening TO
place them in an awkward position as
to their constituents. but the matter of
few inferior appointments will figure
little beside the effect of the representa-
tives indursiug policy that becomes
more generally unpopular every day.

Committee on Foreign Affairs evidently
expect that Congress will be called upon
soon to decide the Hawaiian question
Chairman McCreary yesterday had an
extended interview with the President
and it is supposed that matters relating
to Hawaii were under discussion. Nc

made it is evident that he expected Con
gress would deal with the matter.
A member of the committee SAID the

whose Government has been over
! thrown by this Government, and asser
| that it is now the duty of the United
States to restore the former condition
even by using force. This is an ide,
