Patton Ave. & Cbuich HU THE HAWAIIAN MESSAGE THK SENATE RECEIVES IT WITH OTHER DOCUMENTS. The Queen Would Not Aicree To Grant Amnesty To The Revo lutionistsMinister Willis' In structions Are Revealed. Washington, Dec. 18. The Hawaiian message of the President was sent to the Senate today. It is 6,000 words in length and gives the history of events in Hawaii in conformity with the facts as reported bv Mr. Blount, and commits future dealing with the question to the extended powers and wide discretion of Congress. The President says : "By an act of war, committed with the participation of the diplomatic rep resentative of the United States, and without the authority of Congress, the government of a feeble but friendly people has been overthrown. The provisional government has nut assumed a republi can (ir other constitutional form, but has remained a mere executive oligarchy, set up without the absent of the people. It lias not sought to hnd a permanent basis or a popular support, and has given no intention to do so. Indeed, the representatives 01 that government assert that the people of Hawaii are unfit tor popular government, and can be best ruled by arbitrary or despotic power. 1 he l'resi.lent says he Had Hoped, in view of the fact that both the queen and the provisional government ha at one time acqutesed in referring the entirecase to the United states government, and considering the further frtct that the pro visional government by its own declared limitations was only "to exist until terms of union with the United States, had been negotiated and agreed upon," that he might have been able to compass a peaceful adjustment of the difficulty. '.Not unmmutul ot the perplexities of the situation, and the limitations of my power, says the President, 1 instructed Minister Willis to advise the queen and her supporters of my desire to aid in a restoration of the status existing before the lawless lauding of the United States forces at Honolulu, on the ICth of January. The President adds that he desired that such restoration should be effected on terms providing for clemency, as well asjustice, to all parties concerned. The conditions suggested were amnesty to all those who had in any way partici pated 111 setting up the provisional gov ernment and a recognition of all bona fide acts and obligations. These condi tions have not proved acceptable to the (Jueen, although she has been informed that they will be insisted upon, and that, unless accecded to, the efforts of the President to aid in the restoration of her government, will cease. I he President says that he has not vet learned that the (Jueen has yielded her acquiescence, and this has delayed his efforts to bring about a settlement. He adds that "unfortunate public misrepre sentations ot the situation and exagger ated statements of the sentiments 01 our people have obviously hindered the pros pects of successful executive meditation," lie theretoie submits the correspondence and instructions to Congress, and closes by saving : In commending this subnet to the extended powers and wide discretion ot Congress, I desire to add the assurance that 1 shall be much gratified to co-operate in any legislative plan which may be devised for the solution of the problem before us, which is consistent with Amer ican honor, integrity and morality." there was a very small attendance ot senators at the opening of today's ses sion. At 12:18 Mr. Pruden, one of the President's secretaries, delivered the long looked for message on Hawaiian affairs, senator Gtorge was sending up a petition when Mr. Harris said that the President's message ought to be laid before the Senate. The Vice-President was of the same opinion and immediately Uid it before the Senate and it was there upon read by the secretary. The message consisted ot two printed documents and one in writing. The im portant part of the document submitted 111 writing, and which has not vet been read to ttie Senate, contains the instruc tions issued to Minister Willis under d lie ot December 3rd. Two points hav ing a special bearing upon the situation 11 Hawaii are set forth. Minister Willis is instructed to say to the (Jueen that conditions relative to amncstv must be acquiesed in by her or lie will do noth ing, ft the (Jueen should ask what the United States will do in the way of ristoring her to power and main taining her upon ber throne, the minister is directed to reply that the President will not authorize the use ot the United States troops, either to restore her or maintain her upon her throne. Minister Willis was told to in form the (Jueen that the use of the troops could ouly be authorized by an act of Congress. Minister Willis is then di rected to tell the provisional government, should they ask the same question, that the President will do all that, he can un ci r executive authority to restore the (Jueen. The distinction noted, between these two answers to the same question is the absence of the very important matter of detail as to what the President can do and will under the term "execu tive authority." BILL NIK IN LONDON. The Buck Mboals Humorist and llie Mavaire Club. Bill Nye, the Bard of Buck Shoals, whose London letters are being enjoyed by newspaper readers everywhere, is thus spoken uf by the Pall Mall Budget : "The first house dinner of the season is always a great event at the Savage club, and the convivial party that gath ered around Sir Augustus Harris on Sat urday night in no respect fell short of the standard of former years. Among the entertained and entertaining no one commanded more lively attention than 'Bill Nye,' the popular American hu morist. "Mr. Edgar William Nvc is frrty three, but he looks older. He might pass for a leading Chancery barrister or a benignant professor, with his well-shaped cranium, the contours of which are con cealed by no hirsute growth, his round, clean shaven chin and his gold rimmed spectacles. There is, indeed, nothing of the typical yankee in his appearance, as there was !n the sonic. v hat caduVuouo and angular visage of poor Artemus Ward. Hefavored the Savages with,one or two yarns, which he told in a quiet, deliberate, unaffected style, his voice having but the faintest echo of the Amer can twang, while his stories depended for their point on a subtle sense of humor rather than on the exaggerated use of expletives and the startling effects of light and shade that usualy mark the funny productions of the fur west." DEATH OK A. D. NKILSON. II Occurs at His Home at 2 O'clock Tula Mvrnluic. A. D. Neilson, the Woodfin street gro cer, died at his home on Woodfin street this morning at 2 o'clock, of pneumonia, following an attack of the grip. Mr. Neilson had his first illness about Thanksgiving day. He at one time was very much improved but a few hours spent at his place of business brought on a relapse, and, although he was consid ered better at times, the progress of the disease could not be permanently stayed. Mr. Neilson was about 47 years of age, and was the oldest son of Dr. M. L. and Mrs Laura Neilson, and a nenhe w of Senator Z. B. Vance and Gen. K. 15. Vance. A wife and six children survive him. He was a quiet, honorable citizen, and a man who was held in high es teem by everybody who knew him, and his death will be heard of with regret. The funeral occurred this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence, the services being conducted by Rev. II. P. Chrtitz berg, pastor ot Central M. E. church, South. The interment was at Riverside. The pallbearers were J-J- Mnckcy, W. H. Penland. C. II. Miller, I. D. Brevard, J. Hardy Lee, and N. A. Reynolds. MORE STliALINO Uuriclars Visit Two Residences Recently. The residence of Dr. L. M.
