Pterhape be will now admit, tbough. that tbe new» printed in our yesterday's issue was no csnard. — The new» by tbe Monowai shows that the annexation eeheme at present ie at « eUndstill and oor private advices inform us that in his in«uguration address Pres:dent Clevel«nd, in referringtotheHawaiian question, recommends to the Congress that » Commis•ion be sent to Hawaii f»r the pnrpoae of ascerUiring the wiahee of tbe Hawaiian people in regard to «nnēxstion, snd that «11 fortber aeUoo be deferred nntill tbe return and report of sucb Committee. Great credit is due to # Neomann for the masterly way in whieh be bas sUyed the basty aeliona of tbe Harrison Admmistration. Never in any politicaI sitoation iu the bistory of the United Sutes bas there been sucb an aheoloie reaction in tbe »entiments of tbe memlien of Congrees, tbe press, and the people. as is the eaae in the Hawaiian incident. The main reas<-n for this is the step Uken by the ProTisional Government in refusing tbe repreeenUtivee of the Queen pasaage on tbe Claodme, whieh appeared to the Amenean nation euepieioue and unfair, and when the H«rrison administration tried to burry the treaty tbrough witbout awsiting the arrival of Neumann tbe auapieione increased, and flnally tbey took a decisive sbape wben SecreUry Poster del»yed tbe prMeoUtion of Nenmann’a precis to tbe Senate and that body coosequently refused to act and tbe whole matter has heen dcferred to tbe extra eeaaioo of Cungress.

He probably eame to condole witb his friend Stevens for havtug made another diplomatic fizzle. # One of the great points made by the Provisional Government. «nd iU oommit«ioners in r«lliatioo of the revolution is the «lleged move of the Queen in regard to a nqw constitution through whieh a cerUin ciass or classes of the citisens, it is slieged woold have heen disfrancbised, and as Mr. Tbnrston sUtes in a New York paper, wculd have had to aueeomh to tbe terrible eune of Uxation with«>ut represenUtion.
