Some of the republican members of the
House were to-day excitedly discussing
the recent royalist plot in Hawaii and the
opinion expressed by them was that the
administration is in fault in not keeping
one or more ships of war constantly at
Honolulu. This sentiment found express
sion later in the afternoon in a resolution
offered in the House by Mr.. Hit of Illi-
u0is which is as follows
Resolved that it is the sense of this
House that a vessel of the navy of the Uni
-ed States should be sent to and stationed
in the harbor Of Honolulu for the protec-
ton Of American interests in view of the
attempts at rebellion and disorder by con-
sTlrat0rs endeavoring to overthrow the
republican government and set up a
monarchy.
Resolved, further that steps should be
taken 20 construct or to promote the con
Il S'rIet0n Of sub marine cable from San
4 Francisco to Honolulu and that no part of
t5a fehts and privileges secured to the
t1tet States by article of the existing
treaty between the United States and the
Hawaiian government should be abandon
al or waived in order to enable any other
power, state or government, to secure
l73thold or lease upon any part of the
Hawaiian islands.

matter, usually retOrted by saying: What
can congress do? A resolution has passed
The House that the people of Hawaii
olght to be permitted to manage their
own affairs, and this government, con-
seq0ently, has nothing to do with them
except TO give them its best wishes"
The most generally expressed senti-
ment was that the government, as shown
oE ITS overthrow of the plot, is entirely
competent to take care of itself.

Hawaii brought the always exciting sub
