EXIT MONARCHY.

The Government received by the
steamer Alameda this morning the
following dispatch, transmitted
through Consul-General Wilder at
San Francisco:
Advise Hatch Turpie resolution
passed Senate by unanimous vote. "
The following is the text of t1e
Turpie resolution as passed:
Resoiged, That from the facts and
papers laid before the Senate it is
unwise and inexpedient under eX-
listing conditions, to consider at this
time any project of annexation of
the Hawaiian territory to the
United States; that the Pro-
visional Government therein hav-
ing been duly recognized, the
highest international interests
require that it shall pursue
its own line of policy, Foreign in
tervention in the political affairs Of
these islands will be regarded as an
act unfriendly to the Government
of the United States"
If there could be any doubt as to
the scope of the above resolution
and the intention of the Senate ofthe
United States in passing it this is
done entirely away with by the de-
bate which took place in that body.
As will be seen elsewhere Senator
KYLE withdrew his resolution in
favor of the one passed. In COM
menting on the resolutions brought
before the Senate Mr.. Turpie said /:
Those resolutions include all that is
included in the resolution of the Sena.
tor from South Dakota, Mr.. KYLE, and
more They are clothed in diplomatic
language, perfectly conservative, per-
fectly coloress as to party differences
here with respect to the policy pursued
or to be pursued in that island, much
preferable in expression and in their
terms to the resolution offered by the
Senator from South Dakota. nave no
particular objection to the resolution
offered by the Senator from South
Dakota, but infinitely prefer the reso-
lu.ions reported by the Committee on
Foreign Relations, not only with respect
TO the terms used in them, the text, but
also with respect to the expression
which think this body ought to make
upon the subject of Hawaii. 1t is very
true, it is said, annexation constitutes
one of the features Il think heard the
honorable Senator from Nebraska, Mr.
Henderson say it was the main feature
of the resolutions reported by the
Committee on Foreign relations. 1t
was one of the three features. All are
main; all are equally important. Why
should they not be?
The following further extracts
from the Congressional RecOrd will
forever set at rest the absurd claims
of Hawaiian Royalists that the
Senate of the United States would
yet sustain the Queens claim for
restoration. The sentiments ex-
pressed below stand without con-
tradiction by any member of the
Senate and, taken in connection
with the unanimous passage of the
Turpie resolution afterwards, makes
the evidence conclusive that the
United States has confirmed the
exit of monarchy in Hawaii:
MIR. Frye ask pardon OF the Senator
from Tennessee Mr.. Harrisl for making
the proposition which l am about to
make.
These resolutions, or resolutions OF
some kind, are OF supreme Importance to
the Hawaiian Islands, to humanity, and
yet there has been a delay of three
months in this Senate. That is utterly
inexcusable. There they are, right on a
pivot. The action of the Senate can
turn it progressively forward or back
ward; and why we should be triling
with little miserable political bubbles is
beyond my comprehension.
am ready to vote for any resolution
which shall declare to those people that
this Government will not interfere with
them; | do not care how it is worded
There is one purpose | have, and only
one, and that is 10 give those people
their liberty OF thought and liberty OF
action.
Mr.. Hoar--I desire to make one
statement only, in thirty seconds, in re-
gard TO what has been said by the Sena-
tor from Maine Mr.. Fryel and that is,
that the people interested in this mat.
