_ VOL. 1LXVI NO ANNEXATION THE QUEEN OF HAWAII WILL BE ENTHRONED. President Cleveland Does Not Favor An, necting The Island. -Preparation Of The Annual Message To Congress, discontinued at the end of the current year, the annual outlay of $10,000,000 not being justified by the results of the experiment, which he regards as a failure. Another great Republican scheme—the ocean mall subsidy—is also reported to be a flat failure, and Congress will probably be asked to re- peal the law authorizing it. mm fp A ns A Most Audacious Robbery.

The report concludes with the ommendation, which was approved by the President and the other members of the cabinet, Of is | that the wrong should | be righted as far as lay in the power of | this government by restoring the na- | tive government of Hawaii to the po- | sition it occupied the Queen was forced by a U. 8B. Minister, not by the Provincial to cate. This was a bold and fearless ste p for the President to take, but believ-! ing it to be right he took it and issued the necessary orders to Minister Wil- | lis, who barring accidents arrived at! Honolulu more than a week ago, to carry it into effect, although he Knew full well that it would at first un-| popular, particularly with those who would only look of the | the | united States and sel upon its fi deposed monarchy. But who President were not surprised thatfhe should pre- | fer being right to he | has been doing that sort of thing ever | since n in public life. i Chere are many Democratic Sen- | ators and Representatives in Washing- ton, but some of those here who were at first disposed to criticise the of the President have already changed | their minds, and it is believed that] when the next news arrives from Ha- | wail they will all be disposed to 0 knowledge that the administration took theonly right and proper If, as the administration believes, the provisional government only existed | because the native Hawaiians believed | it to have been created and supported | by the power of the United States, it would at once cease to exist as soon as Minister Willis officially announced the contrary, as he doubtless did soon as he arrived at Honolulu, If the Queen should then be unable to maintain herself in power that will be her own affair, as neither she nor those who might attempt to overthrow her government would receive aid from the United States. In other words, the action of the United States is merely intended to allow the Ha walians to govern themselves in any way they may see fit without any out- side interfere nce, and as the first step towards that end it was necessaay that things should be restored to the same condition in which they were when Minister Stevens interfered to overthrow the old government. The question of monarchy or republic had nothing whatever to do with it, nor was sentiment allowed to intrude. It was only a question of right and wrong, and the administration, acting upon the information gathered by Mr. Blount during his long stay and in- vestigation in Hawaii, has only done what it believes to be right, and what it believes the American people, re- gardless of polities, will in the end en- dorse, The power of the United Btates is too great to be exercised to the detriment of its weaker neighbors, and the sense of fair play is too preva- lent in the United States for the peo- ple to wish a wrong perpetuated, be- cause it was done by a United States official. President Cleveland is devoting nearly all his time to writing his an- nual message to congress, and in order to work without interruption he will only come to the White House on cabinet days until it is completed. There will be some surprises in the message for those who think that the results of the recent state elections will have any effect upon the President's policy.
