and People.
Washington, Dec. 1.-Five senator's,
heretofore on the absentee list for this
session, were present to-day They were
Messrs. Colquitt, of Georgia, Irby, of
South Carolina, Lindsay, of Kentucky,
Morgan, of Alabama, and Perkins, of Cali
fOrnla.
In the absence of the Vice President, at
Augusta, Ga, the Senate was presided
over by Mr.. Harris, of Tennessee.
MIR Hoar offered a resolution, and
asked for it's immediate consideration,
calling upon the President for a state
ment touching the appointment by him,
without submission to the Senate, of
Hawaiian commissioner, and the exact
functions of that Official, and for other
matters of information.
The resolution having been read, Mr..
Gray objected to its discussion to-day
and asked that the resolution go over till
tomorrow. 1t was of sufficient import
ance, he said, to lie over.
Mr.. Hoar claimed that it was the un-
varying custom of the Senate to allow a
senator TO explain a Dill or resolution Of
ferred by him and that was all that he
proposed to do
AIr Gray withdrew his objection, and
MIR Hoar proceeded with his remarks.
THE PREMATURE PUBLICATION.
Mr.. Hoar commented upon the fact
that the information communicated by
the President to the Senate, under the
seal of confidence, had been freely given
out to the representatives of four news
papersSthat were Jealous, thorough going,
he had almost said, unscrupuIous sup
p0rters of the administration.
One of the alterations made
was that the President on
March z, 1898, the Senate being then in
session, commissioned person to proceed
TO the Hawaiian Islands, accrediting him
byaletter as a commissioner from this
government to that government, and said.
in the letter of instructions, that he was
TO be paramount as a representative of
the United States n@hose islands. If
that allegation, said Mr.. Hoar, were true.
it seemed to him as gross a violation
Of the constitution of the United
States as was ever charged upon
Ut IIDDubtu 10 any DuDllC
official. 1t was not necessary to say to
the Sena te or to the American people that
an attempt to usurp the power of appoint
ing and commissioning such an nicer,
without the consent of the Senate, was
an attempt to usurp all the diplomatic re-
lations of the government.
MINISTER BAYARD's STATEMENT.
Mr.. Hoar alluded to the dispatches from
London attributiug to Minister Bayard
the statement that there could be no re-
Tetsal Of policy based simply on justice
and magnanimity, and that no advantage
would be taken of the weakness of the
HaWaIlaE queens party, and he said that
the dispatches were true it was also
true that Great Britain had been taken
INTO confidence which the American
Senate or people had not shared He
wanted this matter to be separated from
all questions of dealing with Hawaii from
all questions of anneSati ton, or a prOteC-
torate or dependency, from all questions
N reference to which the two parties
We're divided.
HOAR A sCOLD.
Mr.. Gray said that he did not intend to

undlcated itself time and time again in
our history, by putting up hypothetical

morning. Nor did he think that the hon
Otdole American representative at the
