that he has decided the question which
your action and that Of the Queen devolved
upon him. and that you are expected to
promptly rellnquish TO her her constitu-
floral authority"
This is the final formulation OF the in
tentlon which was conceived by Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND almost before he had taken hlsoath
OF office In March, 1893, and to which every
successive step In the long and devious
game OF concealment. usurpetion, and out
rage. has steadily pointed.
Now there comes to the front pretext
not previously very conspicuous: namely,
that while no authority has been conferred
upon Mr.. CLEVELAND by Congress to order
out tho Provisional Government and to
set up a Queen In Hawaii. the power

him by the Hawaiians themselves. Mr..
WILLIS speaks Of the Presidents deter

notion and that Of the Queen devolved upon
him." There is here an implication that
somehow Mr.. CLEVELAND has been chosen
as tho arbitrator between the deposed
monarch and the actual Government OF
Hawaii. with authority to enforce his de-
cision by the power OF the United States.
That lie perhaps tho most astounding as
sumption OF all. Who has recognized Mr..
CLEVELAND as arbitrator Not the Congress-
OF the United States, which is now invcsti-
eating his unlawful course throughout the
whole affair. Not even the ex-Queen herself,
IN whose favor he has assumed to decide.
for up TO the time Of the last advices from
Honolulu. she had persistently refused to
accept his services under the conditions
which he saw flt TO impose upon her. Ger

as In any sense the arbiter Of its destinies.
