The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-02-06

There have been no startling devel-
opments on the Hawaiian situation
In the past ten days.
President Cleveland is reported to /
regard the letter of Dole as personal
insult and it is said will ask for its |
withdrawal.
The Senate Sub Committee on For |
eign Relations has finished its strug-
gle with the question and has report
ed the following resolution: Resolv-
ed, from the facts and papers laid
before the Senate, it is unwise and in
expedient, under the existing condi-
tions, to consider at this time any
project for the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands to the United States;
that the Provisional Government
therein having been duly recognized
the highest international interest re-
uuires it shall pursue its own line of
policy. Foreign intervention in the
politicaI affairs of these islands would
| be regarded as an act unfriendly TO
| the Government of the United States.
| The House investigation drags
along. The Hawaiian matter will be
| brought up in the House as soon as
| the tariff bill is out of the way on the
| 22d inst.
| On the 22d John McCandless, who
| was member of the Committee of
Safety at Honolulu during the revoiu-
ton, was before the Senate Sub-COm
mittee ON Foreign Relations. He
sustained the action of the revolu-
tionists and that of Minister Stevens.
| He was not an earnest advocate or
| annexation, but claimed that HaWalI
was rich enough to sustain herself and
the intelligent white people of the
islands were able to govern them-
selves.
Minister Thurston was at the Cap
itol on the 22d. He called at the
room of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, but as the COM
mittee was in session he was not ad-
mitted. His main purpose seemed to
! be to make suggestion to Mr.. Me
| Candless who was then before the
committee. The latter was called
out, and after brief talk with him
Thurston went away in company with
ex-Minister Stevens. He said there
was nothing to add to what he had
Already stated about affairs at Homo
lulu.
On the 23d inst. the Senate sub
Committee on Foreign Relations re
ported the resolution given above
$ Turpie, who reported the resolution
on behalf of the committee, said ht
was directed by the committee to ash
| immediate consideration, as 1t wa
the unanimous expression of the com
mittee, except the dissent OF Senate
! Dolph to the first clause. Turpie fur
ther explained the resolution had NJ
! relation to the special investigation
| being made by the committee. Tel
Ter objected to its imm ediate consider
alton on the ground that it had 40
| been printed, and Mills gave notice
| that when it came up for consldera
| tion he would ask for q division of tn
question. So the resolution went owe
under the rules. Subsequently tn
floor was given to Cullom, of Illinois
- who savagely attacked the policy c
the Administration in the Hawaiial
matter. Abundant testimony had bee
. furnished to cOntrOvert the assume
theory of the President and Secretar
of State that the revolution was III
c cited and fostered by Minister Steven
c and Captain Wiltse, but in any case
6 Cleveland found the Government es
tablished and in full possession, reco2
niZed by the world. CullOm compare
Biount's crafty acts of spy in Homo
lulu to the employment of Major AL
dre by the British Government i
revolutionary time, and said B!oun
deserved Andres fate. The countr
has reached the conclusion that th
President and his Cabinet, with a
d their new tangled paramounts and G
pher dispatches, are merely tin ella
actors in a stupendous comedy of e.
rors.
v On The 23d Inst, Sweet (Rep.).
' Iowa, introduced the following in tn
y House:
J Whereas, An effort is now beir
made to establish republic in I'll
Hawaiian Islands, and,
Whereas, Conflicting reports are i
circulation as to the policy of I'll
United States with relation theret'
therefore,
Resolved, That the United State
" hereby extends TO the struggling rel
u representatives. of said islands its sIl
cere sympathy with the efforts to e.
tend the principles of free govern
ment.
. McCrea airy of the House Commlttt
70 on Foreign Affairs, introduced late II
same day, a resolution embodying TT
policy of the Democratic members
the committee on the subject or h
I. wall. In substance it denounces til
idea of annexation and supports Pre-
ident Cleveland's attitude in the ma
ter. The resolution was referred
+l,a Copo p,ittaa on FOREIGN Affairs.
