GR0VER0N HAWAII.
The President Discusses the
Situation in a Free and
Open Manner.
INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFICIALS.
The Philadelphia to Protect
Life and Property of
Americans.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-In CONVERSE
tion during the evening the president
seemed entirely willing to discuss the
Hawaiian question. He said:
''No information has been received
which indicates that anything will hap
pen in Hawaii making the presence Of
one Of our naval vessels necessary, un-
less we are prepared to enter upon a
policy and course of conduct violative Of
every rule of international law and ut
terly unjustifable. All who take any
interest in the question should keep in
view the fact thot Hawaii is entirely in
dependent of us and that in its relations
to us it is a foreign country. A ship has
been sent to Honolulu, not because
there b>s been any clauge i'll the
Policy of the Administration
and not because there seems to be any
imminent necessity for its presence
there. The vessel has been sent in pre-
else accordance with the policy of the
administration in every case Of the kind,
and from motives Of extreme caution
and because there is a possibility that
disturbances may be renewed which
might result in danger to the persons or
property of American citizens entitled
to the protection of the United States.
This course was at once determined
upon information reaching the govern
ment of the recent trouble. So far from
having the slightest objection to
Making Public the Instructions
which were given to the commander OF
the Philadelphia and the dispatch he
will carry to Mr. Willis, our minister in
Hawaii, I am glad to put them before
my fellow-citizens. Here they are::''
To Rear Admirable Beardslee, Flag
ship Philadelphia: Proceed with the
steamship Philadelphia with dispatch to
Honolulu, H. l. Your purpose as the
United States senior naval officer there
will'be the protection of the lives and
property of Americans. In case Of civil
war in the islands extend no aid or rsups
port, moral or physical, to any Of the
parties engaged therein, but keep
SColOlly Ill VleW your ullGy W
Protect the Lives and Property
of all such citizens of the United States
as shall not by their participation in
such civil connections, forfeit their
rights in that regard to the protection Of
the American flag. An American cit
izen who during revolution in for
eign country participates in an attempt
to force Of arms, OR violence to maintain
or overthrow the existing government,
cannot claim that the government Of the
United States shall protect him against
the consequences Of such act.

Telegram to Willis.
Willis, Minister, Honolulu: Although
your telegram reporting uprising Of
Jan. 6 does not indicate that you re-
gard the presence Of warship neces-
sary, the president deems it advisable
that one proceed Immediately to Homo
lulu for the protection of American
citizens and property, should con-
tingency arise requiring it. You, as our
sole diplomatic representative, will con-
fer with the commanding officer as to
the assistance which his instructions
contemplate in case Of need.

ton:

come 70 pretty pass when member
of the convention In Hanovr could not
EXPRESS his views. He thought the
gag proceedings were an outrage. ana
Colonel Aylett, or any other member OF
the convention had a perfect right to
tell why any candidate was or was
not suitable for the nomination.
"Oh. let him speak, cried Major John
Page: 1--WE came here to speak. and let
us speak"
Then the motion of extending Colonel
Aylett's time for ten minutes was put
before the convention for the second
time. and the gag-law was put into OPP
Grafton again. and Colonel Aylett cut
OF from further debate.
There's was protest then made by
Colonel Aylett against the insinuaton
made by Mr.. buchanan al 10 Colonel Ay-
let's motives in opposing Mr. Digs, and
Mr.. Buchanan said he referred TO the
Colonels political views. and had moth
ing to say against him personally.
Major John Page seconded the nominal
ton Of Captain John l.. Latanc. Il do
not see that the fact that a man Is the
choice of the King William delesa ton

voting for him every time said he.

Mr.. Newton then nominated Mr.. +. X.
Cooke, of Rockville, Hanover county, in
a powerful though brief speech. in which
he said he wanted a man who would 20

people and tell them that he voted for

object TO a man voting for any special
candidate in a legislative caucus. lie

the courage Of his convictions, and would

Mr.. Newton then spoke In strong terms
against Mr. Dlggs. who. said he, was not
the man suitable for the place. Mr..
