with the officers and passengers regard
ing the situation of affairs in Hawaii.
They stated that when the steamer left

the people generally, and the action of
the United States was waited with the
greatest anxiety.
The members of the provisional govern
ment, however, were resolute in their
declaration against the restoration of the
monarchy, and openly expressed their in
tention of resisting to the utmost any at

WHY BLOT-NT WAS SENT

WHY BLOCNT WAS SENT.
Without attempting to go into a discus
sion of any of the hypothetical cases
which had been made by the senator
from Massachusetts, the ground of his
anlmadversiOns upon the administration,
he Gray would simply remind the sena-
tor and the Senate and the people of the
United States, that the special commits
sloner had been sent to the Hawaiian
islands because there had been a transac-
tion there involving the honor of
the United States and it was the duty of
the government OF the United States to
possess itself of information on the sub
lect by sending out gentleman who could
see with his eyes and hear with his ears
what IL was impossible for the President
and Secretary of State to see with their
eyes and hear with their ears. And the
President and Secretary of State would
have been derelict in their duty if they
had not availed themselves of the ample
authority which they had to acquire that
information through an agent duly au-
thorized by the executive. He thought
that the resolution should go over'until
tomorrow under the rule, and ne asked
for an order to that effect.
AN ACRIMONIOUS TILT.
Mr. Hoar objected to Mr. Gray's char
.
and dialogue ensued between the two
senators in connection with what Minister
Bayard was represented as having said as
to the Presidents change, or no change,
of policy in regard to restoring the queen
to her throne. At some points this dia-
IOgue tended to acrimOniOusness Mr..
Gray inLimating that Mr. Hoar forgot
what he had said, and Mr.. Hoar reJorting
that he did not forget but that the Sena-
tor from Delaware miss ated it. In the
course of this dialogue MIR. Gray declared
his own belief and that of Mr. Bayard to
be that President Cleveland policy is
one not only of justice and magnanimity,
but one Of nOn-interference. Finally the
discussion came to close, and the reSO-
lutIons went over till tomorrow.
THE FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.
Mr. Hill referred to the notice which
he had given last week that he would
move to take up the bill to repeal the
federal election laws, and said that as
Mr.. Hoar complained that the bill had
been reported from the judiciary commit
can mem bers of that committee he would
consent to have the bill again referred,
as Mr.. Hoar suggested. The bill was 50
referred and the House bill covering the
same ground was allowed to remain on
the calendar in order to give Mr. Cullom
an opportunity TO address the Senate on
the subject.
The Senate then proceeded to execu-
tive business, and at 2:40 o'clock ad-
jOurned until tomorrow.

In more ways than one was the fact
that this was the last day of the rem
devious emphasized. One of the most
interesting incidents was the provision
ing of the ships for the cruise. The
steamers from the large cities Sunday
morning were piled high with edible
freight. Tons and tons of beef were
brought from Baltimore and trans
ferred by hands more or less unclean to
the ships cutters, which We're dancing
on the waves at the wharf. Huge crates
of canned goods and mammoth
sacks of vegetables stood side by
side with food enough to stock
store. A rampant of bread edged the
wharf, and might, if the occasion had
arisen, have served the same purpose as
the bales of cotton did for Andrew
jackson at the battle of New Orleans.
One pile of bread actually counted 1887
loaves, and there were several mountains
of baked dough near by as large. Amer
lean, English, German, Russian, Span
ish, French, Italian and Dutch sailors
lowered around and transferred it amid
babel-like confusion to their own
boats. All this had to be done Sunday.
