CONSERVATIVE STAND TAKEN
Cleveland May Submit Another
Message To-Day.
PROBABLE ACTION IN SENATE.
The State Department Will Not Give
Out News Until the Arrival
of Mail Advices.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA conference
was held this afternoon at which num-
ber of Republicans were present, to decide
upon a course of proceedings on the Ha-
wRiian question, due tC the latest advices
from Honolulu. 1t is understood some
very radical views were given expression
TO, and the question of the impeachment OF
President Cleveland for his course was
brought up.
This course, however, was not seriously
considered by any one. and the cooler
headed members advocated a conservative
stand. and their views finally prevailed.
They argued it would be much wiser for
the Republicans to wait day or so until
absolute and definite information is re-
ceived from Hawaii, which probably will
be not later than Wednesday. The con-
ference. finally adjourned without taking
apy definite action, except TO agree there
should be DO concerted movement for the
present
Secretary Gresham was seen at a late
hour last night and stated that absolutely
nothing would be given out on the Ha-
waiisn question until the arrival of mail
advices. This would seem to contToveTt
the theory that the President intends Eto
send a special message TO Congress to-
morrow on ths Hawaiian question, in
Guiding the correspondence received from
the Corwin. 1t is understood that the
dispatches obtained are very meager. and
the administration prefers to wait for full
advices before making anything public.
Many Congressmen expect the President
will send another Hawaiian message 10
Congress tomorrow. In such case the
ho
q few hours ahead of the arrival of the
steamer which left nolulu for Vancou-
yer on January l and the City of Peking,
which sailed for San Francisco on Janu-
ary 2. both due on Tuesday. The belief is
the President would prefer to communi-
cate the news rather than have it come
through unofficial sources Dy the steamers
as to the situation.
Hawaii may again demand the attention
of the Senate to the exclusion of all other
subjects for q portion of the week. If tie
Government should fail to give an explicit
denial of the report that Willis has asked
the Dole Government TO retire in the in
terest of the Queen, there is sure 10 be a
- number of resolutions of inquiry intro
duced. and several pointed speeches may
be expected. rhere will, in any exent, be
Hoar's resolution inquiring into the ex-
penses and salary of BlOunt, and possibly
Frye's resolution declaring that until the
Congressional inquiry is concluded this
Government should suspend all efforts at
interference in the affairs of that country
may be called from the table. The who le
matter depends very largely upon news
from the Pacific and the attitude assumed
by the administration.
II it should become apparent that
the Auckland report is not truthful the
Senate would be disposed to let the 81 b.
ject alone until the Committee on Foreign
Relations concludes its Investigations.
Regarding the report from San Fran
cisco that the Mohcan is being placed in
readiness to sail for Honolulu, the Secre-
taTy of the Navy said tonight: THE Mo-
bican is in the same condition she has
been in for month. namely, in condi-
ton Of general readiness, but have not
Issued any orders to her."
