sion In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, February 2-The Senate

joint resolution providing for the election Of
senators by direct vote Of the people.
The calendar was then taken up, the first
bill being bill in respect to certain treaty
stipulations. Mr.. Sherman asked for i'm
mediate action up It. 1t referred, he said,
to the Hawaiian Islands. The tariff act
having modified the treaty with those
the treaty should be observed in good faith.
Mr.. Gibson thought that the treaty was a
costly bargain Ior the United States especial
ly since the whole group Of islands might
have been blught for, considerable less
Tor. Mr.. Sherman repeated his demand to
have vote at the earliest possible moment
and the bill was laid aside.
Senator Morrill,, chairman Of the finance

terms to one that passed the House provi-
ding for some one to perform the duties Of a

amendment and speaking on the necessity Of
gun gun factory on the pacific coast.
Mr.. Cockreil regarded the system of coast
defences as utterly worthless and an abso-
lutte waste of money.
This led to general discussion Of the in
herent strength OF the United States as a
belligsraut participated In by Messrs. Cock
rell. Frye aud Hawley. Mr.. Hawley enter
ed upon an extended description Of the great
strength of Great Britain and the nearness
OF that strength to some Of our defenceless
ports.
Mr.. Blair ridiculed fears of war with any
nation. He thought that the proper course
to pursue would be to pass the educational
bill and thus teach people the horrors of
war. He offered an amendment looking to
International conference for the suppression
Of slave trade, and trade In intoxicating
liquors, fire arms and gun powder on the
continent of Africa.
Mr.. Cockrell followed In the same line.
Mr.. Dawes stated that the reduction In ap-
preparation was recommen nded because of an

works. The amendment was agreed to.

bill the Senate went into executive session
and at $50 adjourned.
