NOW FOR HAWAII.
Mr.. Morgan's Committee
Is Ready.
1T WILL HEAR ALL SIDES.
Stevens Is Wanted as the First
Witness.
1T WILL HEAR ALL SIDES.
ILLNESS MAY KEEP HIM AWAY.
The Purpose Is to Take All of
the Testimony That Can
Be Had.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The Senate COM
mittee investigating alleged irregularities
in the diplomatic relations between this
country aud Hawaii will resume its sit
tings tomorrow. 1t is believed it will be
possible to have full committee, and it is
presumed that hereafter the investigation
will proceed regularly. All who have yet
been communicated with on the subject
have signified their willingness TO come to
Washington for that purpose without max
Ing 1t necessary to resort to the process of
formally serving subpenas. 1t has been
expected that Stavens would appear early
and give his testimony, but his health is
liable to prevent it and thus, even with all
the members of the committee present and
prepared to go forward with the work, the
inquiry may be delayed indefinitely. The
committee counts upon securing Io-mOr-
row the testimony of Professor Alexander,
who is Survey or-General Of Hawaii under
the Provisional Government and native
of the country. He is SON of missionary
parents and naturally a strong supporter
of the Dole Government.
PAwTUCKET, r. l., Jan. 1.-At the
banquet of the Garfield Club tonight ex-
Minister John l.. Stevens delivered the
address. he declared that the return of
Queen LiluOkalani to her throne by any
outside force or the intimidation of the
Provisional Government by any diplo-
matte pressure or chicaneIy will be pub
lie crime by whOmsOever perpetrated. To
make Hawaii second Singapore or Hong
Kong might be all very well for British
colony. but was not adapted TO American
institutions nor intended for an American
form OF government. The executive of
this great republic has assumed hostile
attitude to an American colony on the
Hawaiian Islands. When Cleveland's
emlssary reached the islands last March
there was no part of the United States
more peaceful, for the monarchy was
dead and official corruption had been put
an end to. This same emissary bore let
ters of credence TO representative Amer
leans, whom he subsequently, stabbed in
the back. On the secret testimony
OF their enemies respectable men,
bers OF the PrOviso nal Government
were condemned as criminals and insulted
with the promise that when the grossI V
immoral Queen should be restored to her
throne she would pardon them-the par
don of such men as Chief Justice Judd
and AttOrney-General Hatch, son of
New Hampshire, and the superior legally
and In every other respect of Secretary
Gresham, the pardon of such representa-
tive men. whose private and official char
acters at no period of their past lives had
a blot upon them. With sorrow and shame
we look upon this sad picture to which we
have been brought by the present admin
istration. In the name of all the freedom
loving races, in behalf of all who love JUS
tice and fair play, in behalf of Christian
civilization in the United States, let us do
our duty in endeavoring to put a stop to
the extraordinary usurpation of power
and to stamp out the outrage inflicted upon
our patriotic, devoted and imperiled fellow
countrymen of the North Pacific.
