Washington, Dec. 21.—The Honse Committee on Foreigu Afiairs tbis morning considered the reso!utions introduced by Hitt and Boutelle relative to the Hawaiian policy of the admiuistration and decidek to roport a sabstitute, whieh, when reported by Chairman McCreary of the committee was as follows:

Whereas, It appears frora the execntive communications sent to the House of Representatives that the United States Minister and United States naval forces ■■ at Honolnlu exceeded their j authority in January, 1893. and ; illegally aided in overthrowing the Constitational Goverument of Hawaii and setting up ic its plaee a Provisional Government not repnblican in form and in opposition to the will of the people of Hawaii; therefore, Resolved, That it is tbe sense of this Honse that such intervention by the Governroent of the United States, its representatives or armed forces is contraiy to the policy and traditions of onr repnblic and the spirit of onr constiintion, and sbouId be and is emphatically condemned. In the Hoose Bontelle sent to ihe clerk’s desk snd had read a resolntion qnestioning the anthor- | ity of WiUis to command the s Amenean naval officers at Hono- • •

lalu. The speaker decliced to ! allow him to discnss the resolution without unanimoua consent. whieh he could not obtain. The reso!ntion was referred to the Committee of Naval Afiairs. McCrean*, chairman of tbe Foreigu Afiairs Committee. gave noiiee that he was assured that withiu ten days after reconvening two days would be giveu for consideration of Hawaiian afiairs. The Honse at 3:15 adjourned nntil Jannarv 3. I * 1 A BAD OME.\. | i The Call the most hopeful of the Republican papers says; The United States Senate apj>ears to be a nsefnl bo«.ly. Without this branch of the legislative department tbere would have been no note of opposition either to the President‘s silver policy or to his attempt to restore a monarcbial furm of Government iu Hawaii. While newsl papers from one end of the eountrv to the other are ringing with» denunciatious of the Fresident s assumption of power, the House is sileut. The spoaker has power in that body to do ,what he will, so loug as his partv backs bira up. But one independent man in the Senate ean make his voice heani ali over the conntiy. It is better to put up with an oeeasional manifestation of a disposition to filibuster than to listen to the sileuce that prevails at present iu tee House. News from the seat of war in Buenoes Ayres states that a sea figbt is immineni between the forces of Admiral Mello’s fleet and those of President Piexoto. • Washington.

Whatever may be the ooteorce in the Honse in dealing with Hawaii it is pretty certain that the Sonate will sooner or later get all the facts and will then act prompt!y. The Senate Foreign Afiairs Gommittee will sit doring the boliday recess and go into the whole Hawaiian snbject.
