up and discussed at length, with view
Of making u report to the senate. Mr.,

verely the conduct of the state depart
ment on the Samoan question. The re-

mony of Consul General Sewall. Mr..

SewaIl quoted extensively from cores
pOndcnCe between him AMI the state de-
partment from the time of his arrival,
showing that the British consul had been
acting with the Germans for three wears,
and he EXPIRE ssed the opinion freely that
