With Contempt.
His Peculiar Course Has Deprived
the Ex-Queen of All Chances
of Success.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA special TO the
/ Tribune from Washington says: The
feeling with which the administration s
( confession Of total failure in its Hawaiian
T restoration programme is shared by all
classes Of public men here can be
NEST accurately described as either face
/ tioUs or eOntemptuous. On the showing
made in yesterdays report 10 Congress,
+ the Presidents nlauegement Of the Ha-
waiian question must be admitted TO have
been, from any point or view. almost in
credibly weak, fatuous and paradOxicaL
Starting with an utterly false assumption
of authority and responsibility, the exeeu-
tive has been led from one cumulative
5lunder 20 another. TIL his whole pIo-
gramme has had 10 be abandoned in hu-
initiation ana disaster
By his furtive AID uneaBdid course with
Congress and the country the President has
justly exposed himself 10 the gravest sus-
pIciOns OF tTickeTy and attempted abuse Of
his constitutional powers. By his absurd
and unwarraDted demand upon the legal
Government Of Hawaii 10 surrender its
authority in favor Of the deposed Queen
be has subjected this country to the iudig-
/ nifty of meTIted and unanswerable reproOf
/ from one of the feeblest nations Of the CIV

No more abOrtiVe or Iudicrous ending to
the hairbraiDed diplomatic programme
can well be conceived than that confessed
in the Hawaiian dispatches which went to
the Capitol yesterday. The House OF Rep
resentatives, being tied hand and foot by
the existing special order for tariff debate,
cannot act upon any phase of the Hs-
wailan question for the next two weeks.
In the Senate various solu ions are pend
ing and the investigation conducted bv the
Committee OIL Foreign Relations is still in
active progress. There being pressing
necessity to block further threatened steps
toward the restoration of the Queen. i'm
mediate action Of any sort is scarcely to be
expected. The Senate will, however, as
the session lengthens, express its voice Oh
the Pre- sidenrs recent policy, and this ex-
preston. 1t is pretty certain, is to De one
of emphatic disapproval and eondemna-
ton.
The mail that left here last night car

Willis, which will be forwarded to him
by the steamer Australia, which sails for
Honolulu on Saturday. Included in those
dispatches is a communication from the
Treasury Department upon matter in
which Willis is much interested.
