NEWS FROM HONOLULU 4DVICEH Y THIC STEAMSHIP ARAWA. Meet! nit or Annexationists Adopt an Appeal to Congress Provis ional Go vcrament Troops Wrk lOKon Fortifications. Vancouver, B. C, Dec. 12. The Aus trian steamer Arawa arrived at Victoria at 9 a. m. today. She brines tbe follow ing news: "Queen Lilioukalani has not been restored, and there has been no trouble in Honolulu. The steam ship Arawa, which rounded Race Rock at 7 o'clock this morning nnd was tied up at Victoria two hours later, left Honolulu Monday, December 4-, and was a fraction over seven days making the run. From the arrival of the last reports there have been bat two things of a signiBcant nature. The annexationists held a mass meeting on Saturday, November 25, and adopted resolutions in effect appealing to Congress over the address of Presi dent Cleveland. Secretary Gresham and Mr. Blount. Pour davs preceding the sailing of the Arawa, the troops of the provisional government were busy forti- lying and barricading the government house, or tlie catle as it was formerly called. As the Arawa sailed from the harbor troops could be seen on the deck of a steamer busily engaged in heaping up breast w rks. ' Washington, Dec. 12. The House committee on foreign affairs today or dered a favorable report on tbe resolu tions introduced bv Air. Ititt 01 Illinois, calling on tbe President for correspon dence in tbe Hawaiian matter, including the in-tructious given Minister Willis. The original resolutions were amended so as to have the data called for include the correspondence between Minister Stevens and the former administration. In the Senate yesterday Mr. Hoar introduced a resolution asking by what authority Commissioner Blount had bien appointed, and then pro ceeded to comment upon the tact that the intormation which had been given to the Senate under the seal of confidence had been supplied by the State depart ment to representatives of four news papers that were known to be zealous, thoroughgoing, almost unscrupulous supporters of the administration. Tke appointment of the commissioner as "paramount" authority representative of the United States in those islands. Hoar regarded as being as gross a viola tion of the constitution of the United States as was ever charged upon or im puted to any public official. Hoar, in the course of his speech said that he wanted the matter to be sepa rated from all questions of annexation or protectorate and that, it it were true that the President of the United States, tbe Senate being in session, authorized an officer to exercise paramount diplo matic authority, and to withdraw, at his discretion, or land forces of the United States, he was standing on very slippery ground and had better step onto terra 6 rm a rapidly and at once. And it such official entered cn that duty and es tablished correspondence with private pcrsonsabout public affairs of tbe govern ment to which he was commissioned, nnd it his conduct was approved by the President, and the President made him self an accomplice after the fact, he, the President, was standing on ice not only verv slippery but very thin. Mr. Gray replied briefly to what he called Hoar's "scolding" and the resolu tion went over. THE FIGHT ON EL.IAB. To be Reopened when His Maine la Rent In. Washington, Dec. 12. Special. Notwithstanding the fact that Senators Ransom and Vance had practically agreed upon a successor to Elias, it is definitely learned today that the Presi dent will send Elias' name back to the Senate as collector for tbe 5tb district of North Carolina, and the fight against his confirmation will be reopened.
