WASHINGTON, Dee. 5. When the
senate met at NOM today the appear
ance of the chamber was in striking
contrast with the scene presented yes
terday. The galleries were all but
vacant, and less than twenty-five sena-
tors were present 10 hear the chapIain's
prayer. A quieseent air prevailed dur
ing the reading of the Journal, and
senators busted themselves in corre-
spondence or Hstlessly glanced over
newspapers. The vice president laid
before the senate a communication from
Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, advising the
senate that the state of Illinois, In view
of the invitation extended to the states
by congress, had caused to be made and
placed in Statuary hall, of the national
capital, a statue in bronze of Gen. James
Shields. one OF Illinois most distin-
guished warriors and statesmen. The
communication stated that the statue
would be unveiled at 2 p. m on Dec. 6,
1893. and invited the friendly co-opera-
ton of the senate.
Mr.. Cullom gave notice that tomorrow
he would introduce an appropriate res-
consideration of the senate. Among the
petitions presented was one by Mr.
Dolph, of the Oregon horticultural So
ciety, favoring the maintenance of the
present duties on prunes.
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution for
which he asked present consider alton,
requesting the president, so far as in his
opinion it shall not be inconsistent with
the
PUBLIC INTEREST.
to communicate to the senate copies of
all instructions which may have been
given 10 any representative of the
United States or any naval officers since
March 4, 1893, in reference to the pres
ervation of public order in Hawaii, or
the protection of lives and property of
American citizens and the recognition
Or support of any government there
Mr.. Sherman (Rep., o., while ex-
pressing himself as in favor of the res
olution. thought in the absence of the
chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, nothing should
be done but to refer the resoIu-
ton to that committee. After some
further debate, the resolution was laid
over.
Mr.. Dolph (Rep.. Orr then proceeded
to address the senate on the part of the
presidents message relating to Hawaii.
He began by expressing his surprise
at the utteTanceS of the president i'll his
| message. Mr.. Dolph said he could not
conceive it possible that the administra-
ton had determined upon the foreihle
RI rnf
and The restoration of a corrupt and
| liceDtious queen. If such had been the
| intention of the administration, the ex-
preston by the press of tine country of
the almost unanimous public opinion
| against such course, he believed,
would have changed the purpose of the
administration, and have caused the
! president to modify his Instructions to
| the American minister to Hawaii Mr..
Dolph read the part of the reference of
the president in his message to Hawaii,
and asked whether the report of the
personal representative of the presi-
dent, acting under secret instructions
| and conducting an eX parte eXamlna-
ton, was entitled tomore credence than
the
OFFICIAL REPORT
of the former American minister to
Hawaii, and of the American naval
officers and the representations Of the
representatives of the Hawaiian govern
ment to this country, and of information
received from the Christian and intell-
gent persons of Hawaii, since the revo-
luton.
Ii would have been more satisfactory
| to him said Mr.. Dolph) and TO the
country had the president been more
| explicit as to how it was proposed to
undo the alleged wrong that had been
done by those heretofore representing
this government and as to just how the
| administration was TO proceed to restore
the status existing at the time OF the
| last forcible intervention. 1t would
| have been more satisfactory if the pres
ident had given to the Sc nate the in
! Structions of the present American min
| lster to Hawaii SO that the senate and
the house might know what Was pro-
posed by the government.
A remark by Mr.. Cullom as to whether
| the president had the constitutional
power to restore the queen forcibIy led
Mr.. Dolph to say rather earnestly that
were that the question there would be a
| wide difference of opinion between the
| president and himself. and still he was
| warranted I'D assuming that something
| more than moral SuaSion was to be eX-
ercised TO change the government of
! Hawaii.
III the course of his speech Mr.. Dolph
was asked by Mr.. Vest (Dem., Mo-
] whether he was arguing i'll favor of
| the policy Oh the part of this govern
ment of securing the Hawaiian islands
