Washington. December 1s--Thc Ha-
waian question was again the subject of
an animated and interesting discussion in
the senate today. MIR Blounts report was
characterized as containing mot one line
OF unvarnished truth by MIR. Frye. while
MIR. Vest OF Missouri declared that while
he opposed annexation OF the islands. the
restoration of the queen by force would be
an "act OF war"
The resolution was offered by Mr.. Hoar
calling upon the president for further in
formation on the matter,
The senate also listened with the at
tcntion always accorded venerable sem
ator to tariff speech from MIR. Morrill,

tigatlou OF facts and report made TO the

then turned to Biounts report In his
Judgment IL was most dangerous re

defender OF the administration, but MS an
American senator and citizen. lie re-
GREETED the partisan malevolence which had

Bount ana desired TO state in the most
public ami emphatic manner that a purer
man. publicly and privately, never ap-
peared In the arena OF American politics.
He then took mp the defense of Blount

ing qualities Tie crime committed by
