Mr.. Hoar's Resolution
Mr.. Hoar introduced resolution call
4 ing upon the president for further in
4 formation as to his actions on Hawaiian
4 affairs The resolution. by impu tation,
\ attacks the presidents appointment Of a
4 commissioner without the consent and:
4 advice Of the senate.
Mr.. Hoar, in tie course Of his remarks
on the resolution, said if it were true
that the president fhe senate being in
session auth orized an officer to exercise
paramount diplomatic authority in
another coun Try with which the United
States was at peace, authorized him to
employ at his discretion the naval forces
OF the United States, and had given him
the title which was enumerated as one
OF the diplomatic officers in the act of
congress, he was standing upon very
slippery ground, and he had better step
on terra tirma rapidly and at once.
No Precedent For a President.
The ostrich puts his head in the
sand, s said Mr.. Hoar. and thinks he
will not be seen. The rhinoceros hides
IN his mud puddle and breathes through
his nose and thinks he will not be seen;
but neither of these are fit and suitable
precedents for the president Of the
United States. The people ought to know
the truth in the matter
Mr.. Gray said Mr.. Hoar had scolded
all through the previous administration
OF Mr.. Cleveland and had scolded Mr..
Cleveland into the White House again.
In the course Of his remarks, Mr.. Gray
said he believed the policy of Mr.. Cleve-
land was not only that of justice and
magnanimity, but one of non-interfer-
ence.
The Seal of Confidence.
Mr.. Hoar commented upon the fact
that the information communicated by
the president to certain senators, under
the seal Of confidence, had been freely
given out to the representatives of four
newspapers, known to be jealous,
thorough going-he had almost said I'M
scrupulous pporters Of the admins
tration. One Of the allegations was that
the president on the 18th day of March,
1898, {the senate being in SESSION. com
nlissioned person to go to Hawaii, ac-
credited him by letter as a commits
sioner from this government, and said,
in the letter of Instructions, that he was
to8be paramount as representative of
the United States in the Hawaiian
islands.
1t that allegation were true, said Mr..
Hoar, it seemed to him as gross violation
OF the constitution of the United States
as was ever charged upon or imputed to
any public official 1t was not necessary
to say to the senate or to the administra-
ton people that an attempt to usu1,p the
power OF appointing or commissioning
such an officer without the consent Of
the senate was an attempt to usurp all
the diplomatic relations Of the govern
ment
The Hoar Hawaiian resolution was
further debated by Messrs. Koar and
Gray and was then laid over.
Mr.. Hoar read an Associated Press
cablegram from London, attributing to
Mr.. Bayard the statement that there
could be no reversal Of policy based
simply on Justice and magnanimity and
that no advantage would be taken of the
weakness Of the Hawaiian Islands. He
said that # that dispatch was true it
was also trne that Great Britain had
been taken into confidence which the
administr alton, senate and the American
people did not share.
IN the House.
WAsHMGToN, Dec. When the
morning hour arrived, Mr.. Kilgore Of
Texas was about to call up the bill for
the admission Of Utah, when Mr.. Ding
