evening resolution offered from the COM
mittee on foreign relations advising the presi-
dent to enter into negotiations for an extension
of the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty for seven
years. This was in compliance with request
of the president for the advice of the senate in

an extended debate. Further consideration of
the subject was postponed until next December.
By the terms of the existing treaty, it was pro-
vided it should remain in force seven years from
date at which it came into operation, viz: Sept
9, 1876, and further until the expiration of

curement of certain additional advantages OF a
reciprocal nature.
