WASHINGTON, Dec. a0.-The Hawaiian
question was disposed of for the present
in the senate when, after Hoar's argu-
ment, tho message and accompanying
documents were referred to the commit
tee on foreign relations. That committee
was directed to inquire and report
whether, and IL so, what irregularities
have occurred in diplomatic or other in-
tercourse between the United states and
Hawaii in relation to tho recent revolution
In those islands. The resolution for a
joint committee of three senators and
three members to examine and report to
congress upon the Maritime Canal conf
pany of Nicaragua. with authority to visit
Nicaragua, was agreed to. The senate
also concurred In the house resolution for
a holiday recess from tomorrow until
Jan. 3, 1894. The resolution offered yes
terday by Frye, calling upon the secretary
OF state for information as TO whether per-
mission has been granted TO any foreign
cable telegraph company to land line on
the coast of the United States since March
], 1892. and whether such permission had
been refused such company prior to that
date, was taken up and agreed to.
Hoar addressed the senate on the Ha-
in Hawaii up to the inauguration Of
Cleveland and said that there took place
o certain transaction which suggested the
American question: "Who 10 the United
States of America? Who represents in
great national and international affairs
its purpose, it's honor. its policy as TO
foreign relations? The question rs to
the legality OF the proceedings as TO
n nev,.a
which ii was the duty of the senate 10
deal with. The president, when be under
took to decide that question and with.
hold from the people Of the United States
what was doing until it was settled one
way or other, seemed to have supposed
that he was the United States Of America,
and that, whatever that phrase meant,
IL was but synonym for him. There
tions and that was Dogberry's instructions
to the watch:
You are sure TO lie thought the most sense
less and fit for a constable Of the watch. there
fore bear your lantern. This is your charge
you shall comprehend all vagrant men; you
are to bid any man to stand in the prince.
Wsiohnas-Rsw IL he will no. standc
Dogberry-Why then, take no note ofhim, bu
let him go.
The quotation evoked a wave of laugh
ter. At the conclusion of Hoar's remarks
the message of the president and the in.
formation sent in response to Hoar's reso
luton some days ago, wcre ordered
printed and referred to the committee or
foreign relations. Morgan. chairman OF
the committee on foreign relations, sub
mitted the followina:
Rssoircd. That the committee on foreign rcla
tions inquire and report whether. and IL 20
what irregularities have occurred IN the diplo
matte or other intercourse between the United
states and Hawaii In relation to the recent poli
tical revolution In Hawaii, and to this end tht
committee Is authorized to send for persons aud
papers and administer oath to witnesses.
Morgan explained the purposr Of his
resolution, which was TO have n settlement,
of the charges against this and the former
administration regarding tho Hawaiian
policy. The resolution was then agreed
to. Cockrell reported the urgent dcfici
cncy bill. Mr.. PETER moved TO strike ou
the item allowing mileage for senator,
and members for the present session. liz
argued that in the present depressed con
dition Of tho country il was wrong 70,
senators and representatives TO TAX,
money to which their right at least wa.
doubted. Dolph wished 10 remind tn,
senator that something had escaped hi,
attention: That no one was obliged to
take the mileage, and IL the bill passed
and the senator from Kansas or any other
senator had compunctions of conscience
about it. he could leave the money in th.
treasury. After some debate, by vote ol
II yeas to Al nays, the motion to strike ou
was rejected and the bill passed.
