S&—The senate coutuiittce on finance did not meet, despite tl$e notice wut oat by the chairman to that effect and the telegrahplug for members who were out of the city. It appear* that the democratic caucus had more to -do than members of the committee are willing to admit, although the reason assigned for the (allure of the meeting waa that the bill had »ot bean ptf nteri in time. About thirty senators attended tha democratic senatorial eaucne, and nearly all participated in a general discussion : of the proposed tariff bill. The ntmost good feeling prevailed throughout. Senator Voorhets explained the motive* which had actuated tha sub-committee and the care with whleh all changes bad been made. lie said the interest of the whole country had been continually uppermost in the minds of the committee' and expressed confidence that the result would give general satisfaction. No formal resolutions were proposed, and the ranctis dispersed after agreeing to resume it« sesftion aa soon as possible. Again. > **w.i Furnishing Goods, Shirts, Underwear, Gloves, Neckwear.

No net of hurm resulted from this unauthorized act, but as|alprecedent It is not to bo considered as being justtfled.

If Liliuokalaui had been restored ' to her throne by the consent of the membership of the provisional government, upon the terms and conditiona of the 'proposition which she signed and delivered to Mr. Willis, the president of the ' United States would not have been in any senso responsible for her restoration, would not have espoused the monarchy, nor would ho have done anything that was contradictory of American sentiment, opinion or policy, lie would oerfy have been the mutual friend, accepted, really, by both parties, whom intervention would have secured, with their cmsent, the final solution of that question.

That declaration, apart from every other consideration, would have instilled the United States in an interference for the protection of the provisional government which would not have been tolerated under other circumstances. That declaration created an intlmaey of relationship between the United Statea and the recognised government of Hawaii Which is entirely exceptional, and which placed within the reach and control of the United States very largely, if not entirely, the disposal of those qtaeetlons collateral to frfc-t of annexation Which might h*vo interf erred with tae peaceful and appro, or late solution of My dUBculty which might arise in it* execution.

There may be a question as to the particular wording of the order which M.r. Blount gavo to Admiral Skerret for thu lowering of the llag and the withdrawal of the troops, hut that is a hypercriticism, because the substantial fact was that Mr. Blount executed the command of the president in communicating to Admiral Skerrett such order, as the order of the president of tho United States. Provisional Government. "A question has |been made as to the right of the president of the United States to despatch Mr. Blount to Hawaii as personal representative for the purpose || seeking the further Information which tlio president believed was necessary in , order to arrive at a just conclusion regarding the state of affairs iu Hawaii. Many precedents could be qnoted to show that such power has been exercised by the president on various occasions without dissent on the pari, of congress or the people of the United States, 'these precedents also show that the senate of the United States, though iu wtmsiun, need not be consulted as to the appointment of such agents or as to the instructions which the president may give them. An authority was entrusted to Mr. Blount to remove the American lfag from the government building in Hawaii, and to disclaim openly and practically tho protectorate which had been announced in that country, and also to remove the troopB from Honolulu- to the steamer Boston. This particular delegation of authority to Mr. Blount was paramount ovcrkthe authority of Mr. Stevens who was continued as minister resident of the United States at Honolulu, and it raised the question whether the government of the United States can have at the wim< foreign capital two ministers, each ol whom shall exorcise separate and specia powers.

The report says: "The precise hour when or the precise condition under which the American minister recognised the provisional government, 1* not a matter of material Importance.

While exempting from censure Captain Wiltse, of the Boston, and his officers, because 1 their position was one of extreme delicacy and difficulty, and we appreciate their anxiety to afford protection to the lives and property of American citizens," they add, "We cannot avoid tho conviction that the inopportune zeal of Minister Stevens in the project of the annexation of the Sandwich islands to tho United Spates caused him to exceed the proper limits of his official duty and of his diplomatic relations to the government and people of those islands. His conduct a« the public representative of this government was directly conducive to bringing about the condition of affairs that resulted in theoverthrow of tho queen, the organization of the provisional government, the landing of United States soldiers, and the attempted scheme of annexation; and on this conclusion his C millet is seriously reprehensible and debarring of public censure."
