and at the same time have afforded all necessary protection to the
lives and property of our citizens at that port, if they were in any
jeopardy.
The moral support and good offices of this Government, or of any
government, is always permissible in promoting the moral tone and political
improvement of the government of foreign countries on terms of
amity with their own; but there is nothing in international law, in
sound public policy, or in our past history and traditions which justifies
a representative of this Government in interfering officiously or improperly
in the domestic or political affairs of a foreign country, whatever
may be the character of its rulers, its form of government, or its political
condition. We have enough to do to attend to our own business.
We cannot, therefore, avoid the conviction that the inopportune zeal
of Minister Stevens in the project of annexation of the Sandwich
Islands to the United States 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 as the public representative of
this Government was directly conducive to bringing about the condition
of affairs which resulted in the overthrow of the Queen, the organization
of the Provisional Government, the landing of the United States
troops, and the attempted scheme of annexation; and upon this conclusion
his conduct is seriously reprehensible and deserving of public
censure.

The question of annexation is not submitted for the consideration of
the committee, except as it incidentally affects the main question discussed;
but it may not be improper for me to say, in this connection,
that I am heartily in favor of the acquisition of those islands by the
Government of the United States; and in a proper case and on an appropriate
occasion I should earnestly advocate the same. But I am unwilling
to take advantage of internal dissentions in those islands, for
which I believe we are in some measure responsible, to consummate at
this time so desirable an object.
M. 0. BTJTLEE.
I concur in the above.

APPENDIX TO THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
I. THE FOLLOWING- IS THE TEANSLATION OF THE OEIGINAL POSTEE
EEFEEEED TO BY ME. HOES IN HIS STATEMENT.
[Translation,]
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
1. A mass meeting will be held in front of the opera house, outside
of the Palace yard, at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Monday, January 16, to
consider the condition of the country.
By order
COMMITTEE OF LAW AND OEDEE.
THE VOICE OF THE CHIEF. .
2. On the afternoon of Saturday last the voice of the sacred chief
of Hawaii, Liliuokalani, the tabued one, speaking as follows:
" Oh, ye people who love the chief, 1 hereby say to you, I am now
ready to proclaim the new constitution for my Kingdom, thinking that
it would be successful; but behold obstacles have arisen. Therefore I
say unto you, loving people, go with good hope, and do not be disturbed
or troubled in your minds, because within the next few days
now coming I will proclaim the new constitution.
"The executive officers of the law (the cabinet) knew the errors in
this new constitution, but they said nothing.
" Therefore, I hope that the thing which you, my people, so much
want will be accomplished; it also is my strong desire."
And her last order was that we should pray to God to bless this
Kingdom and the throne of Hawaii.
STUBBOENNESS.
3. From the day of the passage of the lottery bill until the prorogation
of the Legislature the members of the Keform party in the House
have been refractory. It is seen that this is the Missionary party. This
is a childish act, showing the lack of principle of the Reform party and
the unexampled pride of the missionaries. The missionaries are the
parents of these actions, and their reason for so doing is because of
their regret and vexation by reason of the failure of their schemes in
the Legislature. The National party is not this way. If the Reform
party is successful the Hawaiian party does not show its disappointment,
but, with its customary patience, continues on working for the
good of all without feelings of strife.
The foreign members of this session have shown their wicked
intentions, their causeless jealousy, when the majority of the people,
