Congress Has Learned Nothing New on
tho Hawaiian Question.

tuo naHatian Xucstious
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s-Yesterday was a
day of waiting for information on the
Hawaiian question. The news was
awaited in vain. II was confidently be
lieved that the papers received by the
Corwin would go to congress yesterday.
But 10 was considered desirable TO have
the whole matter first considered by the
abinet at its session yesterday. The pa
pers received are TO be accompanied in the
message to congress by the instructions
sent by the Mariposa, which was TO have
sailed from San Francisco yesterday.
These instructions were the subject OF
discussion by the cabinet, and, in accord
ance with Secretary Gresham's announce
ment that all instructions TO Minister
Willis would be sent to congress imme-
diately upon being dispatched, will be
transmitted To congress at an early day.
There Is every reason 20 believe that the
instructions TO Minister Willis will be to
take no further steps 10 secure the retire
ment Of the provisional government and
will inform him that the plan to restore
the ex-queen has been i'm effect Abandoned.
The adjournment of the senate until
Monday without having received the pa
pers will delay the publication of the
news, although it is believed that papers
are all copied for transmission, including
copies for the use of the press.

on his way, next meeting Isaac Clatey, n

better this time and the bullet took effect
in his back, inflicting dangerous wound.
