OF Cleveland Than Stewart Was.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3o.-Perkins OF
California, republican, gave notice of an
amendment he intended to offer to the re-
peal bill, carrying out the suggestions
made by him in q recent speech.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Chandler OF New Hampshire, calling for
Information as to the commission investi-
Ratlng the New York custom house came
up. Chandler spoke in favor OF it's
adoption. He said the object was, after
ascertaining the facts to invoke. IL neces-
sary. the action of congress to prevent the
appointment of officers or nominal officers
Of the United States without warrant of
tho constitution or law and con.
trary to the spirit Of both. Chandler
had read Appraiser Cooper's letter ten.
dering his resignation because Of the treat
ment he received at the hands of the
commission. Chandler. after reading re-
ports from the New York papers COUGHING
the proceedings OF the commission to the
effect that 1t was created in order to make
place for some anti-snapper democrats
in New York state. called the attention of
Senator Hill especially TO tho matter In
order that he might tell the senate. II he
wanted to, whether any Of tho vacancies
made by the commission would be filled by
ant-snapper democrats. Chandler said he
was now supporting the president In an
effort to secure tho repeal Of the silver
Inv, but this would not deter him from
criticising the president, who, he thought,
was given too much to disregarding the
provisions Of the law, and to make law
unto himself, and when he reached a de-
termination TO attempt to carry 1t out
whether he saw a law for il or not. Chan
der cited Cleveland's appointment, in his
former term. without the advice or con-
sent Of tho senate, OF w. L. Putnam and
J. b. Angel, commissioners to negotiate q
fisheries treaty with Great Britain In vio-
lation of the constitution.
Chandler referred to his message to the
senate communicated through Governor
Northen OF Georgia, and said he was
struck with the justice of the criticism he
had seen in n recent London paper that
there was q similar resemblance between
the letters of President Cleveland and
those of Germany. Coming to the Ha-
waiian episode, Chandler read from a let
ter OF the presidents TO the provisional
government of Hawaii the sentence: !:
MAY God have your excellency in His
wide keeping"
"What benificent air of royalty there
Is about that extension of the good wishes
of his majesty. the president of the United
States, said Chandler, Through his per-
sonal commissioner, Blount, who had par
amount authority to the provisional gov
ernment OF the Hawaiian Islands,"
Chandler said the appointment of Blount
was moro gross violation of the constl.
tuition than had occurred IN the appoint
ment of officials in hundred yenrs. II
was time the president and tho heads of
departments should be brought to a rigid
observance of the constitution. The reso-
luton was then agreed to.
Tie repeal bill was laid before the
senae as unfinished business aud Cam
den, d'mocrat of West Virginia, spoke in
It's advocacy. PETER then resumed his
argument against the repeal bill begun
Thursday.

brought up. Dolph said there was either
