BROADER AUTHORITY NEEDED Full Explanation of Has Been Dotie. What BY THE PMBMT ADMINISTRATION. The Subject Referred to the leg islative Dcpartmout. Hawaiian Mossage. Washington, Doc. 18. President Cleveland today sent the Hawaiian tessage to congress. The president says: Though I am not able to now renort a definite chance in the actual situation, I am coaviucod that the dif ficulties lately oreat-d both here and in Hawaii render It proper and expedient that the matter should be referred to the broader authority and discretion of congress, with a full explanation of the endeavor thus far made to deal with the emergency and a statement of the oouslderatlous which have goysrued ny action. I suppose right and justice should determine the path to be fol 1 wed in treating the subject If na tlonal honesty is to he disregarded and v desire for territorial extension, or dis satisfaction with the form of a govern ment not our own is to regulate our conduct, 1 haye entirely misappro ' t-ndedthe mission and character or .or crnvernment and the behavior hlch tbe conscience of our people de mands of their public servants. , When the present administration en teral upon its duties, the senate had under consideration a treaty providing for annexation of tUe Hawaiian Islands. Additional importance Is attached to tils peculiar treaty of annexation bi came it contemplated a departure from t le unbroken American tradition, iu providing for an addition to our terri tory islands of sea more than two th msaud miles rem ved from our neir est coast. It appeared from documents 0!mpaning the treaty when sub m tted to the senate that the owner ihlp of Hawaii was tendered ns by provisional government which had the auction of neither a popular revolution nor BuOrage. Two other remarkat-e feUures of the transaction naturally ittracted attention. Oue was the extraordinary haste, not to say precipltany, characterizing all th3 transactions connected with the treaty between the Initiation of the scheme for the provWonal government ,n CT.urill on the 14th of January and mbmistion to the senate of a treaty of the senate ora lav mere was only the In- WZbitZ"l annexation. T t.runl nf 32 daVS in.nt hw thn Hawaiian commlsiionera in a Journey to Washington. In nt lace, upon the face of the paper sub nltted with the treaty, it clearly ap ,eared th At there was open and unde erm ned an Issue of fad of most vital importance. Ttie message of the preil leat accompanying the treaty dealure 1 h.t nrw.rthrowof the Monaroby" was lot In any way promoted by this gov d nmnt.

ItjustllfiKjte my opinion, the statu meut that wen the president was lead to submit the treaty to the senate, bo li . u ..hffiOJ .. ....... ..i mo presiue-" u aeuaie were lutsiuim The iiuneCiliou project was oue zjal ously pronged by the minister repro aentlntt the United Slates in that coun try. On the lutli day of Noveuibei IS92, noarly two, months bef ire the first overt act tending towards subversion of the Hawaiian srovernuiant.headdrea-ed a long letter to the secretary of stato, In which annexation Is elaborately argued on moral, political and eoonornlo grounds. To a minister uf this temper, full of zeal for annexation, there Beemed to arise in January, 1893, a precise op portunity. We are quite prepared for the exultant enthusiasm with which in a lottcr to the state department, dated February 1, 189 J, he declares "The Hawaiian pear Is now fully ripe aud this Is the golden opportunity for the United States to pluck It." As a further illustration of tho nctivl ty of this diplomatic represoutative, at tention is called to the fact that on the day the above letter is written, appar ently uuable louiter to restrain his ar dor, he Issued a proclamation whereby "in the name of the United Btates,1. he assumed protection of the Hawaiian IslandB aud declared said action Whb taken '.Deudluc aud subject to negotla. lions at Washington." ujcoun-Rims assumption of a protectorate waa promptly disavowed by our gov in ment, but the American flag-rem lined over the government building at Hoop lulu, and forces remiilued on guard uutll April aud after Blount's arrival on the scene whou both were with drawn. The president then reviews the clr cumstauces of the overthrow of the Queii and the estaflliahment of a pro visional government. As to lauding troops, the president rayn: "If any lerll to life and property calling for any suoh murllal array had exlsud Great Uilt aln and other foreign powers would not have been behind the U ilted States in nctlvltv to protect their citizen-. Thus it appears Haw ill was taken pos session of by Unite 1 Stites f ircea with out the consent or wlhe of Ilia gov oruineut of the Islands, or of anybody else, as far as shown except the United States minister. Terefore, military occupation of Honoluln by the United States wus wholly without Justification, either as occupitlon by consent or necessitled by dangers threatening Amerloi life and nmnsrtv.

The provisional government, with this unanswered protest In Us hand hastened to negotiate with the Uulted Htatesfor the perm went banishment of the queen from power, and for the sale of her kingdom.

It has beeu the bo-is! of our government. It seems. t d.Jus tee iu all things without regard to i tie 8 1 re net n or wcaKnesi or mow with whom it deals. I uilHtake American people If they fa vor thn odious doctrine that there Is no Mi"h thine; as International morality. i not tnere is one law for a strong na tion, and another for a weak oue, Sub stantlal wrong has thus beeu done, which due regard for our national char acter, as well ai tho rights of an Injured people, requires wo should endeavor, to repair. Tho provisional government has not assuraod a republican or other constitutional form, but has remained a mere exccutlvo counsel or oligrachy set up with tho assent of the people. It has not scon fit to find a permanent basis. I mtructed Minister Willis to advise tho queen nnd her supporters of my de sire to aid In the restoration of th Btatus existing before tho lawless land ing of tho United States force, if such restoration could bo effected up m term providing for clemency as wall as Jus tice to till. The conditions suggested, as tho last Instructions show," contem plate genoral amnesty to those con corned In making up the provisional government, and a icconnltlon of a) its nouafide acts nnd obJJgatlatM w Tn aboVt. theV renulni "that the pa should bo buried, aud the restored gov ernment cou'd resume Its authority ?s if Its continuity had not been Interrup ted, These coudltlona havo not proved noceptablo to tho queen, and though she has been Informed that tney wii be lusisted upon, and that unless in ceded to. efforts of tho president to ah In tho restoration of hor government will ceas, I hsVe not thus far learned whether sho Is willing to yield them tier acquiescence. Tho clieok whio'i my p'anshavo ibu encountered, has prevented th Ir pre sentation to 'members of the provisional government, while un ortunate publh rnnrraentatlon of tllfl situation and CX aggerated statemeutBorthe ontlmenU of our poople, havo obviously Injured the prospects or a sucoesitui executive of meditation.

Washington, Dec. 16, 0'egoiilnn Special -ReUT8onlutlo Hermann It regarded by a number of his l"rit nils in tlii; house ni a promlainii c.indid i'o for Koy rnor of Oregon, f-'everal of his hs sociatcs have been asking him If ho Is a candidate, Jbut ho refusis to say any thing. He will not even s'iv whether bo would prefer to be governor, Amoui tho Oregon mou bore It is tho Impres sion that Mr. Hermann will not muko very hard effort to capture tho prize, coutontlug himself to bo the candidate of the peoplo of his dUtrlct for tin house, If there should bo any partlculai ttijoctlou to hid candldaoy for the gov ernorship. There Is no doubt about tho usefulness of Mr. Hermann tn the 'iponln of Oretron. The noaltlon he holds on the Important rivers and har bors committee alone, would make him valuable. Ho has done a ureat deal for them in tho past, and will np doubt Le aolo to do a itreat deal for them in the future If ho retains his place In oougrew. It nilirht be surprising that a man B'inuld want to rollnqulsh a place In t io house of ropVcsoutallvoa to become g ivernor of his stale, but it Is a fad lb it very few men resist the tempta tion to accept & party nomination for governor, If his election Is a sure thing. During the lust, four years a number of members havo voluntarily 'ellred ftota the houag to beeomfa gotf e-wcmoTtJHfpi'ffiir' Among- them are Flower of New Yorkj Stouo of Ml sourl, O'Ferrnll of Virginia, and Mo Ktnley of Ohio. The latter did not voluutarlly rotlro, but was oleoted gov ernor tho year following bis defeat as a member of the house from a district which had boon outrageously gerry mandered. The above leads tho Salem Statesman to remanc: Congressman Dinger Hr nann announces that ho would be a candidate for govoruor of Oregon If ure of election. His election might be insured him If nominated by tho lie oubllcau party, but the peopl of the First dUtrlct cannot spare him out of i) ingress. They could not think of It. dinner Is In tho right place now, and the peoplo will demand that he contin ue his groat services there, If tho Republican, of Oregon a.sk Mr. Hermann tn nead the stato ticket neit June ho will probably be its candidate. Tho salary and perquisite of the ofiloe ire far less than those of Cougrotsinan nut tho claims of tho party upon Mr, Hermann and tho opKirlunltlea for succeeding to a sonatorBhlp would out weigh the pecuniary objeotlon. Mr. Hermann I. probably as well fixed 11 nanolally as any leading Republican In Oregon who would prove a winning man. He would come as uar uniiing -very element of Republicans as any mtnwbocan be named. I In has per sonal friends In nearlyevery precinct of Oregon, ne ha rendered a personal service to nearly every ooininmilly In tho state. From every standpoint of availability and personal popularity, as well a. for the great aervleco he Iihb rendored Ibe state and the party, he Is a nironir man to head the ticket wltfi, Undoubtedly a number of others m 111 be umuikI and their strength and claims will b- fully and Wrly wt forth in tbeeooumns.
