WASHINGTON, Jan. illumination was
made to the Journal correspondent to-day,
by one of Senator Voorhees, most intimate
Democratic friends in the Indiana congress
stonaI delegation, that the Terre Haute
statesman was seriously thinking of making
a speech the Hawaiian question. in which
he would assume a position similar 10 one
occupied by his colleague, Senator Turpie.
and by Mr.. Holman in the House. Messrs.
Turpie and Holman believe present con-
ditions in Hawaii should not be disturbed
by this government, and that those in charge
OF affairs down there should be permitted
TO establish and maintain Independent
republic. Mr.. Turpie. in his speech the
other day, was inclined TO severely criticise
Minister Stevens for alleged direct assist
ance TO the revolutionists in the overthrow
OF the monarchy, but he did not believe
that we had any right to and should not
engage in the work of re-establishing
monarchical form Of government in that
country. Mr.. Holman is insisting upon the
adoption of a resolution similar TO the one
introduced by him the other day in opposi-
ton to the restoration of the Queen, and
directing the President to drop all efforts
In that direction. Mr.. Holman is in favor of

its attempts can sustain any encourage
ment in the direction OF a monarchy.

probably because he believed it would be
impoiitic for one in his position to assume
q position against President Cleveland
policy. For that reason the impression has
grown that he indorsed the entire policy of
Cleveland and Gresham, but in view of re-
cent information from Honolulu and the I'M
patriotic and un-American work of Minister
Willis and the universal indignation against
the administration policy, the statement was
made in reliable quarters to the Journal cor
respondent, to-day, that Senator Voorhees,
had made up his mind to follow the lines
laid down by Senator Turpie and Repre-
sentative Holman, and possibly go consider
ably farther and openly denounce the out
rage committed by Minister Willis. who,

tive Holman conferred this morning as TO
the proposition which would be submitted
TO Congress for the solution of the Ha-
waiian problem After the talk to-day Mr..
McCreary said: Some solution to the ques-
ton will undoubtedly be ready to be sub
raitted to the House before Jan. 90" Repre-
sentative Holman said: Il will not present
my Hawaiian resolution pending my talks
with Mr.. McCreary, for the members of
the foreign affairs committee are acting
very fairly In trying TO solve the problem.

restoring the Queen TO the throne is for
all time abandoned. not only in executive

Before the House resolved itself into

another fruitless attempt to bring forward
his Hawaiian resolution. He made an inn

Hawaiian matter.
