QUIET IN THE SENATE.
Hoar Will Address the Body ON Ha-
wall Today

Washington, Dec 19.-The expected
row in the Senate on the presidents
message was averted by Hoar. whose
motion to refer the message and ae-
companying documents to the COM
mittee on foreign relations was the
pending question before the Senate,
yielding to Berry and PETER.
The frst named addressed the Senate
in advocacy of the bill to repeal the
federal election laws, while PETER ar
gued in favor of the bill introduced BY
him yesterday, appropriating money
Tor immediate use in relieving the
want and restitution throughout the
country.
Hoar stated. however, that on tomor-
row he would call up the motion to
refer the presidents message and ac-
eompanyinG documents to the commit
zee on foreign relations; and in all
probability he will address the Senate,
at that time upon the Hawaiian Sit
uatiOn generally.
During the transaction of the morn
ing business. Frye said. about two
years ago the French Cable company
made application to our secretary of
state, Mr.. Blaine, for permission to
land its cable from Brazil on the coast
OF the United States. Our secretary
of state investigated the matter and
round that he company had. by au-
tnorIty OF the law of Brazil. a monopoly
that no other company, while that
power was in existence, could be per-
mitted to land a cable on the Brazilian
coast. So our secretary of state re-
fused to grant the permission I am
informed. whether true or not | cam
not say, that the company has recently
appeared before the secretary of stale
and he has granted the company the
right which they asked IF it be true.
ana there is no remedy to be had for
1t. then the United States viii be per-
petually kept out from landing any
cable on the coast of Brazil" In view
OF these facts. he offered a resolution
making inquiry of the secretary Of
state whether this was true
Hunton objected to the present con-
slderation of the resolution and it
went over under the rule.
In a speech in support of the bill for
the relief of the unemployed PETER
stated the bill contemplated the dis
trbution of 1853, 100000 of idle money,
silver in the treasury uncovered by
