IHE New YORK times
Authentic information shows
that the Administration has
pursued a consistent and prudent
course and has discharged ITS
own responsibility in a firm aud
unhesitating manner Probably
Mr.. Willis was not in the least
surprised. and as what happened
was what everybody expected
would happen If negotiations
were carried so far. there was
nothing in it to aggrayate the
situation or cause excitement.
The matter is now In the hands
IF Congress. The Executive
Department of the Government
has gone to the extent of its
authority in endeavoring to carry
out policy that right and JUS
tee dem nded. 1t has dis
charged its re- possibility, and
can do no more without author
ity from the legislative power.
Its real purpose doubtless was to
accept the ex.Qneen' first refusal
as the limit of its proceeding as
The matter was already before
Congress.
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1894-01-20

MANY people are said to resent
the action of Minister Willis in
attempting to carry out a dis
credited and abandoned policy.
The feeling is natural, but unjust.
Mr.. Willis is not to blame. He
has simply executed his instruc-
tions. There is no cable to in
form him of the daily progress of
events at home, and if there were
he would have no right to pay
any attention to anything but his
express orders from his superiors.
Those orders were explicit. He
was to notify Liliuokalani that
unless she agreed to grand amnes-
ty TO the members Of the Provisi-
onal Government and to confirm
their acts the United States
would cease intervention In her
behalf. If she consented to
these terms he was to inform the
Provisional Government that the
United States expected it to
abdicate. II it declined to do so.
he was to report for further in
struetions. This programme
appears to have been followed to
the letter.

ed tonight, to the fact that at
to-dav's Cabinet meeting it was
finally decided to withhold mat
tiers in order to revise the Pre-
sident's new recommendations
Washington. January Il
There was a sensational phase IN
to-dav's Cabinet discussion on
Hawaii. The best information
| is to the effect that there was a
lively debate between the differ
ent Cabinet officers over the de-
termination accorded to the
President and Secretary Gresham
to recall Minister Willis, and
also to sever the official head of
Consul General Mills.
1t is not absolutely known
wllat the result of the Cabinet
meeting was but it is limited that
Secretary Carlisle very determin-
eddy opposed any intimation that
it would be proper to ask for the
resignation of Willis. The other
members of the Cabinet. it is
understood, took like position.
1t is impossible to learn just
what dispatches have been sent
to San Francisco by the Sec
rotary of State, under instruction
of the President, to be delivered
to Willis, either by the Mariposa
or if it is finally decided upon,
by the Corwin, which may be
ordered to return to Honolulu to
deliver the latest orders to thes

there. In view of the fact that
the Senate adjourned over to-
day until Monday the President
will have plenty of time to change
his opinions in presenting his
message to Congress and in for

developments both at Honolulu
and at this end of the line

NEWSPAPER COMMENTS.
The New York Erening Post
says:
To days Hawaiian news leaves
orr annexatlonists with their
thirst for blood still unslaked.
Minister Willis quiet " Good day,
gentlemen, at the close of his
conference with the Provisional
Government was an indescribably
base betrayed of those who had
their CORY headlines and their
articles of impeachment all
ready. If the decision which he
communicated to the Provisional
Government on Dec. 10 could
have been made on March 10 or
even April or May l9 there is no
doubt it would have been speedi-
ly acquiesced in, as at that time
the attitude of all parties in Ha-
wall was that of awaiting the
finding of the President of the
United States as arbitrator, but
the lapse of time necessary for
tie Presidents full and patient
Investigation left an opportunity
for the Provisional Government
to strengthen itself so that It is
not surprising that it should now
decline to relinquish power.

DEMOCRACY is in the saddle

the final vote on the Wilson bill
has been ordered for the 29th OF

breathe sight of relief at the
prospect of IN early end of the

HAWAIIAN MATTERS
Congressional Action To
Date.

Jan. 3.-Frye in the Senate
presented resolution declaring
that in the opinion of the Senate,
during the Investigation of the
Committee on Foreign Relations
of our relations with Hawaii
there should be no interference
on the part of the United States
by moral influence OF physical
force for the restoration of Queen
Liliuokalani or the maintenance
of the Provisional Government
of the Hawaiian Islands, and
that the naval forces should be
used in the islands only for the
protection of the lives and pro-
perry of American citizens.
Frye asked that the resolution
lie upon the table for the present
and stated that he would later
ask its reference to the Committee
on Foreign Relations.
Jan. 3,-The Hawaiian fight
began, in the House; Boutelle,
on behalf of the Republicans,
bringing it up to antagonize the
the tariff bill.
McCreary, chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Committee,
sought to avoid this subject by
trying to make an arrangement
by which Friday and Saturday of
this week should be set aside for
consideration of the resolution
reported by the Foreign Affairs
Committee in lieu of the Hit
and Boutelle resolutions.
Hit, head Of the minority of
the Foreign Affairs Committee,
was on his feet as soon as Nc
Creary made his proposition. He
stated that inasmuch as this pro-
position gave the Republicans
substantially what they desired,
Lamely, time fixed for debate
of the Hawaiian matter, he would
be glad to accept it. But Bou-
telle wanted to precipitate the
question Immediately by calling
up his resolution.
Both sides were ugly, but after
a lively row the speaker held that
Boutelle's resolution was privil-
eyed. The Democratic members
of the Ways and Means Com
mitee were not willing to 90
ahead with the Hawaiian discus
sion until the tariff debate had
been gotten well under way.
however, and the question of
consideration was raised against
the Boutelle resolution. The
Republicans then executed a
flank movement by refusing to
vote, and the Democrats found
themselves In the humiliating
position of not being able to mus
ter a quorum.
After revoking all the leaves of
absence Wilson reluctantly NOV
ed an adjournment. The Demo-
Gratis confidently expect quorum
Tomorrow, but the upshot of to-
days Republican tsctics will
probably be that the Hawaiian
matter viii be entirely postponed
until the tariff blu is disposed
of.

resolution in the Senate calling
on the Secretary of the Treasury
for information as 10 the amounts

on Rules, who desired to present

BoutelIe loudly insisted upon
knowing what had become OF the
privileged resolution which had
been called yesterday. The
Speaker replied rather sharply
that yesterdays proceedings had
fallen with the adjournment, and
a report called up from the Com
mittee on Rules was a matter OF
the highest privilege. At $50,
Catchings moved adjournment.
Jan. 6.-Hawaii is up in the
Senate. Chandler introduced a
new Hawaiian resolution, and

regular order. German moved

which the President may send to
foreign nations agents, represent
tatives or commissioners without
the advice or consent of the
Senate, and whether or not there
was constitutional authority for
the appointment in March last,
without the advice and consent
of the Senate, of Blount to the
Hawaiian Islands with the power
conferred upon him by his letter
of appointment, and such other
authorities as were given him. -
Referred to Foreign Affairs.
Turpie presented a resolution
declaring that the project of the
annexation of Hawaii is inexpe-
dent and should be no further
considered, and that it is of the
highest international interest
that the Government of Hawaii
be allowed to pursue its own line
of policy. The resolution went
over till tomorrow.
Frye attempted to secure vote
on his resolution declarin o
against American interference at
Hawaii, but Butler objected and
the resolution went over until
Wednesday.
Jan. at l 80 O'Clock, after
spending the session up to that
time in routine bus mess, the
Senate went into executive ses-
sion.
Chandler had tried unsuccess-
fully to get up his Hawaiian reso-
luton and Gray had given notice
that he would call up the Federal
elections bill this afternoon.
Washington, Jan. H. AT a
