More News Comes From HawaiI-The
House Transacts Unimportant Business.

unexpected happened, and the expected
failed to materialize. The expected politi-
cal debate on the federal elections law re
peal bill was averted by Mr.. Hill of New
York acquiescing in the suggestion of Mr..
Hoar that the bill should be referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.

bate on the Hawaiian question until the
resolution calling for information agreed
to by the senate last week had been com
piled with by the executive. Mr.. Hoar,
however, submitted another resolution
calling upon the president for specific an
swers to questions, which, literally COM
piled with, would lay before the senate and
the country the history of the actions of
the present administration on the Hawaii
an matter After lively debate between
the author of the resolution and Mr.. Gray
of Delaware the resolution went over until
today.
The resolution, which covers every posi-
BILE phase of the case so far as Republicans
see it, is regarded as indicative of the plan
of attack on the part of the Republicans
