came to vote they filibustered, and the
bill went over.

Washington, Dec. 1S-It is the pre8-
tul intention of the powers that be in
congress to adjourn for the holiday re-
cess next Thursday until Jan. of the
rcy year. The tariff debate, which the
DtrOcmtic leaders he'd hoped to enter
upon before the adjournment cannot now
begin until after the recrss, although the
bill will be report ID to the house either
t. morrow or Wednesday The four days
before adjournment promise to be busy
CEts. After the urgent deficiency bill
Is disposed of the New Mexico statehood
till, which is the special order after the
uTrning hour, will again come forward.
and il is expected that it will go through
this afternoon or Tuesday, provided the
Democratic quorum remains intact. If
the Republicans fiilibuster and the quorum
breaks the house may be dead-lockrd for
the rest of the week, as far as business
after the morning Is concerned. The
tra mission of the Hawaiian correspond
ence by the president may lead to some
debate on this question in open house.
The presidents message transmitting the
correspondence will probably show that
the administration has done all In its
power by the aid Of diplomacy to right
the wrong from its standpoint done the
Hawaiian monarchy, and that the situa-
tion is now one for the congress of the
United States to d'ul with. In other
words that diplm ICY has failed to re-
store the conditions .xisting prior to the
revolution, and congress- must now d..
tide whether other m3ILt ire to be en-.
ployed.
For the third week In succession Ha-
wall promises to be the important sub
jCct before the senate The presid 4nt will
comply with the rpuuC sts Of both h0u <rs
of congress for copies of all the recent
correspondence on the Hawaiian, que stion,
and 1T is considered almost certain that
whatsoever condition of affairs the cor.
respCndence and the message accompany
Ing 1t may reveal, the senate will find in
1t text for numerous speeches. The
programme in the senate includes the re-
ception of the presidents Hawaiian mes
sage and speeches by Senators Hans
brCugh and Dolph, the former in explana-
ton of the bill for the determination of
the Russian thistle, and the latter on
the subject of the tariff.
Washington, Dec. 19.-The fight Oven
the Hawaiian matter in the house fol-
lowed fast and furious on the heels of
the reading of the message which was
delayed on account of the pension de-
bate until $3.50. The first skirmish oc-
CURED over the question of reading the
instructions to Minister Willis, which
was insisted upon by Mr.. Boutelle of
Maine. The house finally agreed to
this, and Immediately after the con-
clusion of this reading Mr.. Boutelle re-
newed the assault by bringing forward
a resolution declaring the admnistra ton
policy inconsistent with the spirit of the
constitution and the traditions of the
government. Great excitement reigned
and in the confusion Mr.. Boutelle failed
to follow up his parliamentary advantage
and was ruled out of order. A resolu-
ton of Mr.. Cochran for the appointment
of a committee of seven to investigate the
alleged invasion by the territorial in
tegrity of the United States of the last
administration also went under a re-
taliatory objection of Mr.. Boutelle. The
confusion was so great that the sergeant
at1rms was called in to preserve order.
An adjournment was caused by the lack
of quorum on a motion to go into cm=
mittee. Party feeling II n very high at
the cl)se of the session. and there is
no doubt the struggle will be continued
as soon as opportunity offers in the
house tomorrow.
In the sen5 te the lorg-lookpd-for mes
81 ge from the president rs to the rela-
tions of this government end this country
to the Hawaiian islands was received
and its reading listened to most attentive.
1x- H. IL. y
Ht mpshire for the reading of the i'll
structions of Minister Willis led to
debate of an hours duration, and they
were finally read. The message and ac-
companying documents are now before
the senate, the pending question being
on the motion of Mr. Hoar of Massl-
cl usetts to refer them to the committee
on foreign relations
