The Hawaiian Question.

On the 18th instant President Cleve-
land sent to Congress another letter in
the Hawaiian correspondence, being
Mr.. Willis recitation of events ON the
islands during the latter part of
March. The Minister tells of the call
ing of the Constitutional Convention in
May, and says the Government ear
nestly hopes that all of the Hawaiians
will vote at the elections. Minister
Willis records the formation of the
American Union Party, whose object
is to secure annexation, and reports
matters as quiet on the islands.
A despatch from Washington dated
the 18th instant says The new Ha--
waiian programme of the Admins
tration means the establishment of a
protectorate over the islands. Definite
and trustworthy information on the
subject has been obtained. The full
effect of the Presidents intention will
not be put in force Immediately. For
the present the locating of coaling
station in Pearl River harbor is the
limit to which the Administration
will go. The special and immediate
duty of Admiral Walker in the Pacific
is To complete preparations for locat-
ing the station. His instruction direct
him to communicate the intentions of
the Administration to Minister Willis
| and to cooperate with that official in
speedily bringing about the object in
view. He has authority to live on
shore instead of on board the flagship
Philadelphia. 1t is impossible to say
how long Minister Willis and his
naval adviser will be engaged in the
work. \ remark made by Admiral
Walker to friends on the day of his
departure from Washington may be
of significance in the premises. Said
Admiral Walker at the time: "While
the business before me is of an inn
portant nature, i have no doubt / shall
be back in Washington in the early
fall. Both President Cleveland and
Secretary Gresham have known for
some time that their efforts at mon
archical restoration in Hawaii have
brought about conditions in that coun-
try which are detrimental, if not ac-
tualIy threatening, to the prestige of
the United States"
Despite these facts and the knowl-
edge of the Importance of prompt and
active steps in the premises, the Adj
ministration has failed to take any
measures To meet the conditions
confronting it until now. The
present intention of the Administra-
tion is to locate coaling station in
be taken under a grant contained in
the Hawaiian treaty of 1887, which
gives the United States the exclusive
right to establish and maintain on the
island of Oahu u coaliDg and repair
station for the use, ,,of its vessels. The
treaty expires by Limitation in Novem-
ber.
Rear Admiral Walker has COM
planned to the Secretary of the Navy
of the apparent disregard of the De-
partment instructions ut the Navy
pay office at San Francisco. 1t APP
pears that pay Inspector Edward Bel
lowe was instructed to procure pas
sage on the steamer Mariposa, sailing
from San Francisco TO IL nolulu, for
Admiral Walker and his staff lieu
tenants, Wood and StauntOn. When
Walker aud his staff arrived at San
Francisco they discovered that no
provision had been made on board the
steamar for their accommodation, and

The weather vas exceedingly rough dur
ing the trip, and very heavy southwest
swell was running all the time. The tug
behaved IN a most admirable manner, and
too much praise cannot be given Capt.

PoEr TOWNSEND. Oct, 2a-The tug P.o-
neer today returned from a cruise along
the west coast OF Vancouver island in
search of the ship Iyanhoe. The shore
line was diligently scanned, but no fresh
wreckage was observed. Near Clayoqnot
sound the remnants Of four old wrecks
were found. Stops were made at all the
Indian villages. but nothing was learned
about the Ivanhoe. Shipping men believe
that the wreckage off Cape Flattery three
weeks ago has been driven south by the
heavy northwest gales that prevailed after
the big storm. Ii is believed that if the
Ivanhoe was wrecked, the passengers and
crew may have been picked up by an out
ward-bound vessel. in which event they
may be transferred to an inward-bound
ship or landed at Honolulu.
The United States cutter Grant, which
went out Saturday 10 assist In the search,
has not been heard from yet.
