KEEP COOL.

No Startling Developioents. The Drowning Annexationists Grab at a Straw MINISTER WILLIS Will Carry Out His Original Instrnctioiis. Change in Cleveland‘s Policy. Tbo poor revolationists wbose hoarts have been do\vn in their boots for tbe Iast raontbs actually seoraed to revive in spirit this xnorning after tbo arrival of tbe Alameda. Tbey all put tbeir faces in smiling folds, rusbed around, talked loud, and even like tbe so-callod roverend Sereno Bishop vraved tbeir bats. None of tbem knew what they were grinuing at, and feeling jubilant ovor except tbat Thurston, tbe Provisional Minister to Washington bad returned and told tbom tbat everytbing was “all right.” The assurauce of tbat man is unlimited. He has absented biraself frora bis post for montbs after raonths for tbe purpose of attending to bis busiuess in Chicago, and San Francisco, and he now finally admits thit be ean do notbiug iu Wash- ' ington for Hawaii. Bigbt you - are, Moses, neither in Wasbington -Tior anywbere else. Well all tbe annoxationists hullahalloo wasfouudto besimply because a resolutiou and a uumber of quostions has beeu pre»ontcd in tbe Seuate and in Congress in regard to Hawaiian affairs. A few Kepublicans took occasion to pass the usual abusive remarks against ■Cleveland and that ended tbe matter. There is, sofar, uotbing to prove tbat the President bas taken the sligbtest uotice of tbe •qacstions and resolution, and it is—as Senator Hill said —his prerogative to answer or not, as he sees fit. ludications are, that he will seud a secoud message relating to Hawaii, as he pro--jnisevl to do when he opened Congress, on the 18th or 19th of this month, together with all p«pers and documents pertaining to tbe Hawaiian incident. Privjite correspondence and interviews witb returuedkamaaiuas assurens that tbe policy of Cleveland has not been modified one iota, and that be will umj bis powers as the chicf exocative of the bniied JStates to carn out a policy whieh he considers just, bonest, and bonorable, and whieh he has declared openly in such a manner that be conld not, even if be wanteil to retreat, from with dignity. As far as cou!d be learned,

Minister Willis received no new instructions on the Alameda, and be will simply attend to his business notwithstmding the statements of Mr. Thurston —who it is presumed arrived to get tbe s bark for the Midwinter Fair. Messrs Dole and Tbnrston called on Minister W T illis, and it is supposed that tbe P. G- at last has answered bis demand for a surrender. v A point worthy of noiiee by the loud montbed blatherskites, who werejubileeing tbismorning. is tbat tbe members of the Uuited States Congress have so far aimply been talkiug iu tbe dark. When all the information relating to tbe trne atfairs in Hawaii bave been placed before Congress and before the L nited States people, it is safe to predict tbat a decided feeling of revulsion willset in against our loeal filibusters and against tbat arch intriguer and ambitious sconndrel Jobn L. Stevens. Do the sensible men among tbe rebels bere really believe tbat tbe worda of a partisan, a demagogue like Thurston, will be taken against the word of Mr. Blount, especially since so many of T s statemeuts have been proven false? Do they think that the clamor and noise made by the subsidized press of the Republican Party will have any ett’ect when Stevens’ letters written in his own handwriting Harrison’s government are prodnced and proved his share in the eontemptible conspiracy of Thurston and his colleagues. Mr. Thurston, the P. G., and all tbeir supporters aud backers here or in the United States have no idea vet of the material with whieh Cleveland and his cabinet back their policy. When it all is made puhlie, tbe people of Ameriea will see that they have wasted their eympathy, and their printer’s ink, and breath on a most nefarious unworthy and unholy cause, and then the reactions will be felt from East to Mest, from North to Sooth. The loyal citizens of Hawaii who espouse tbe canse of Queen Liliuokalani, and of the Hawaiian nation ean rest assured that America will never desert the cause whieh has boeu adopted by the constitntional bead of the great Republic —and Grover Cleveland will do what is right, even if he has to smash everything getting in his way.

So the celebrated showmsn T. —P.—has eome to Honolulu to batch that Star starch himself— Whoa, Jannary? And lo, and behold, tbe last of the Grand Commissioners has arrived; They rnshed off like roaring Lions. They eame haek, one by one like that poor Dog tbat was kicked. An Hawaiian belief; (Advertiser), an house. an horse, an eow, an ass, whieh of the above expressions are correct? Eeward as uaual on applieaiion to tbe Advertiser proof-reader. Eveiybody has a fairly correct idea of the meaning of the Frencb pbrase, eonp de etat. But one migbt know the French language and French histoiy pretty well without appreciating how absurd it sonnds io a Frenchman to hear a foreigner say, for example.

that “the ro\alists are planning | a eonp d'etat against the Kepuolie.” The Conmer des Etats Unia makes a remark or two on this bead whieh aiders and abettors of the Stevens conspiraey , may read, and learn that they and tbe then American Minister Resident, Stevena, were fxirticeps criminis in a clear conspiracy, a treason by the now dominant but former subjects of Queen Liliuokilaui. and an act whieh from its incipiency to accomplishment could not havo been d’.gnified by tbe phrasa eoup de etai. The Courrier says: “A eoup de etat ean only be made by an established govornment. It is a violent raeasure to whieh the cLief of state has rocourse when he wishes, for example, to get rid of a troublesome legislature, as in the case of Louis on the 2d of December. At the present time in France, President Carnot alone ean make a eonp de etat; but the republic has uothing to fear from the grandson of the organizer of victory, As to a pretender liko the Duc d’Orleans. all that he could atterapt ugainst the republic would be a eoup de main similar to those whieh threw ridicnle upon the fnture Napoleon III. at Strasbourg and Bonlogne.’
