MIR. Hoar's Resolutions.
Mr.. Hoar introduced a resolution call
ing upon the president for further in
formation as to his actions on Hawaiian
affairs. The resolution, by imputation,
attacks the presidents appointment of q
commissioner without the consent and
advice of the senate.
Mr.. Hoar, in TIE course of his remarks
IN the resolution, said if it were true
that the president (the senate being in
SESSION. authorized IN officer to exercise
paramount diplomatic authority In
another coun try with which the United
States was ut peace, authorised him to
employ ut his discretion the naval forces
of the United States, and had given him
the title which was enumerated M one
Of the diplomatic officers i'm the act of
congress, he was standing upon very
slippery ground, and he had better step
on terra irma rapidly and at once. 10
No Precedent For . President.
"The ostrich puts his head in the
sand. said Mr.. Hoar, land thinks he
will not be seen. The rhinoceros hides
in his mud puddle and breathes through
his nose and thinks he will not be seen;
but neither of these are fit and suitable
precedents for the president of the
United States. The people ought to know
the truth in the matter"
Mr.. Gray said Mr.. Hoar had scolded
all through the previous administration
of Mr.. Cleveland and had scolded MI.
Cleveland into the White House again.
In the course Of his remarks, Mr. Gray
said he believed the policy on Mr.. Cleve.
land was not only that Of justice and
magnsnimity, but one of non-interter-
ence
The Seal Of Coincidence.
Mr.. Hoar commented upon the fact
that the information communicated by
the president to certain senators, under
the seal of confidence, had been freely
given out to the representatives Of -four
newspapers, known to be zeaious,
thorough going-he had almost said pn.
scrupulous-supporters Of the admins
tration. One of the allegations was tina,
the president ON the 9Th day Of March
1893, (the senate being in SESSION. com
missioned a person to 60 to Hawaii, &C
credited him by a letter as a commits
sioner from this government, and said
in the letter of instructions, that he wa
to be paramount as a representative Of
the United States in the Hawaiian
islands.
LII that allegation were true. said Mr.
Hoar, it seemed to him as gross violation
OF the constitution of the United States
rs was ever charged upon or imputed II
any public official. 1t was not necessar,
to say to the senate or to the a~dmrinistra
tion people that an attempt TO usflfp til,
power of appointing or commissioning
such an officer without the consent O
the senate was an attempt to usurp al
the diplomatic relations of the govern
ment.
The Hoar Hawaiian resolution wa
further debated by Messrs. Hoar an,
Gray and was then laid over.
Mr.. HoAr read an Associated Pres
cablegram from London, attribnting :
Mr.. Bayard the statement that ther
could be no reversal of q policy base
simply on Justice and ~magnanimity an
that no advantage would be taken OF th
weakness Of the Hawaiian Islands. III
said that ii that dispatch was.true
was also true that Great Britain ha
been taken into a confidence which til
administration, senate and the America
people did not share.
In the House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-When th
morning hour arrived, Mr.. Kilgore {
Texas was about to call up the bill fc
the admission of Utah, when Mr.. Dint
ley, on behalf of the Republican sid

eidered during the morning hour, b.

side If ample opportunity were allows
for debate and amendment. Thereupc
General Wheeler asked unanimous co

hour, be set aside for its consideration
Without objection this order was mad
