Interesting Legal Complications in
the Problem Detected.
VALIDITY OF WILLIS DEMAND UPON
DOLE QUESTIONED.
Rumor That President Cleveland VIII
Wash His Hands Entirely of Past
Actions, and VIII Recommend That
Congress Proceed at Once to Estab-
lish Protectorate Over the Islands.
Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Unconstitutional
lawyers of the House have detected
most interesting legal complication in
connection with the Hawaiian situation
which may result in bringing in question
the authority Of Minister Willis to make
q demand on President Dole to retire. Up
TO December 18th Cleveland and the eX-
ecutive branch of the Government were
directing the course of Hawaiian affairs.
but on that day Cleveland's message was
sent to Congress, stating that he would
turn the subject over to the broader au-
thority of Congress, and would thereafter
cooperate in any just solution which
Congress might propose. The Presidents
course in turning the subject over to Con-
gress was undoubtedly communicated to
Minister Willis'at once, with instructions
of non-action. No steamer left this cOun-
try for Hawaii until December 18th. so
that the Presidents conclusions to leave
the matter with Congress could not have
reached Minister Willis until December
26th. Under these circumstances there Is
a hiatus of eight days from December
18th to Goth, during which the authority
of Willis TO act is most obscure: Ii nap
pens that the date on which Wills made
the demand on President Dole TO retire
was December 19th-after Cleveland had
given the subject to the broader authority
of Congress. Under these circumstances
the lawyers Of Congress are asking as to
the authority of Willis to act during the
hiatus, and particularly as TO the validity
OF his action on December 19th two days
after Congress received authority to di-
rect his actions.
Judge Culbertson, Chairman of the Ju-
dietary Committee, an authority on legal
questions, said Minister Willis was bound
by his early instructions until he re-
ceived notice that they were changed. IL
made no difference, he said, that the
President turned over the subject to Con-
gress December 18th, as this fact did not
become known TO Willis until December
10Th, so that up TO the latter date he had
authority to execute his early instruc-
tiOnS.
DELAY OF THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
NEW YORK, Jan. I2.-The MdlL and
cypress Washington special says: The
Presidents delay in not sending the Ha-
waiian message TO Congress this morning
With the last batch Of }fitIi5' correspond
ence caused good deal of adverse crlti-
cism at the Capitol. Both sides are anX-
ious for the papers. The trouble is, the
President is not quite ready with his
message and it will take him some hours
yet to complete it. He intends to wash
his hands entirely of his past actions in
the matter, and. strange as it may seem,
he will startle Congress and the country
by recommending Congress to proceed at
once to establish protectorate over the
islands. He hopes by once more raising
'Old Glory'i over Hawaii that the people
will forgive and forget his blunders.

n TILE SENATE,
TERRITORIAL BILLS.
le National Republican Committee

The National Republican Committee
Favor Taking in New States.
WASHING TON, Jan. 12.-The Executive
Committee of the Republican National
Committee to-day did what it considered
a fine stroke of policy by passing resolu-
tions. first, for the admission of Utah to
the Union, and, second, for the adj
mission of all Territoris to the union of
States.
The resolutions are as follows:
''ReSoEUed, That the admission of Utah
to Statehood is now demanded alike by
Justice to the Territory and justice to the
Nation The present Territory has the
a State. The people, who are law-abiding
and progressive, and possessed of capac-
ity and Intelligence to insure wise local
laws and prosperity and wealth, support
an efficient local government. Under
successful process of Republican legisla-
ton it was finally adopted in good faith
by the Mormon people, themselves in
formally and forever renouncing it.
Polygamy is now as dead as slavery,
and the accepted Act of Admission
which passed the House of Representa-
tiyes at the present session by uuani-
moas vote forever prohibits 1t. This is
now received as true by all people of
Utah. The political party that organized
the fight against polygamy has been dis
banded, and its members have pro-
nounced, with other people therein, a
general agreement, and need Statehood.
Any longer denial of the right of home
rule in this Territory is seriously detri-
mental to her industrial interests and an
unmerited aspersion upon her people and
an inexcusable burden upon the national
treasury.
.sWHEREAs, The territorial form of
government, as applied to the geographi-
cal subdivisions of this country, has al
ways been. and of right should continue
to be, merely temporary form of gov
ernment, to be tolerated only pending ac-
quisition by the Territory OF sufficient
population and material resources to sup
port State government; and whereas, it
is obvious that the Territories of Utah,
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma
each possessed sufficient population and
material, resources to support State
government, and the people of those Ter
ritories now petition for admission TO the
dignity and privileges of Statehood; there
fore, be it
"ReSoIUed, That it is the sense of this
committee that just regard for the rights
of fellow-citizens residing in said Terri
tories demands that the American prin-
ciple OF home rule be extended to them
by the admission OF said Territories to
Statehood.o
These measures were proposed by the
