QUEEN LII BOBS UP AGAIN.
Kyle Attempts to Get Up His Ha-
waiian Resolution. but Is
Several Sections of the Tariff
Bill Passed-Hoar Gets Very
Angry.
WASHINGTON, May 25. - Senator
Kyle's Hawaiian resolution, which came
over from yesterday, was considered
again for half an hour in the senate to-
day. but no action was taken. Mr.. Kyle
asked for a vote on the resolution, but
Mr.. Gray (Dem., Dell, held that II
vote were to be had on the resolution
relating TO Hawaii. it should be on the
one which Mr.. Turpie had reported from
the committee OH foreign relations.
That resolution had been carefully cou-
Sidered, and had been debated at length
in the senate. He moved to substitute
that resolution for the one offered by
Mr.. Kyle. Discussion of the merits OF
the two resolutions occupied the time
of the senate until the hour for the con-
sideration Of the tariff bill arrived.
Mr.. Harris insisted upon the regular
order. The tariff bill accordingly was
laid before the senate. Senator Frye
rep. Me- protested against cutting off
action on the Hawaiian resolution. 1t
was of supreme Importance TO the Ha-
walian islands that the senate should
take some action. YET for three months
the senate had dallied in a manner that
was utterly. inexcusable, and the people
of Hawaii were on pivot. The action
of the senate might send them forward
or backward. He asked unanimous con-
sent that these resolutions should be
voted Oh without debate tomorrow
morning. Mr.. Turpie objected. MIR.
Frye then modified his request, and
asked that they be considered again to-
morrow. MIR. George Dem., Miss.) OBJ
jected.
Then followed sharp clash between
Mr.. Hoar aud Mr.. Harris. Mr.. Hoar
was disposed to continue the debate.
He said that it was the
UNIVERSAL SENTIMENT
not only of the senate, but Of the coun-
ry,that there should be no interference
by the United States with the domestic
affairs of Hawaii.
Mr.. Morgan. chairman of the foreign
relations committee. fully iDdorsed
what Mr.. Hoar had said, and the latter
was proceeding 10 say that Mr.. Nor
gan's Endorsement of his statement
would echo around the world, when
Mr.. Harris, who had grown very impa-
tient, broke in and declared that the
tariff bill was before the senate and
further debate On the subject was out
of order.
Mr.. Hoar protested in vigorous terms
against what he termed these repeated
''angry and discourteous lectures" from
the senator from Tennessee.
"The tariff bill is before the senate"
retorted Mr.. Harris, land the senator
from Massachusetts is violating the
rules by continuing the debate on a res
olution that has just gone over. As far
as the courtesy of the senator from
Tennessee is concerned" he added in
withering tones, "he owes less courtesy
to the senator from Massachusetts than
any other senator on the floor"
"lf the senator from Tennessee owes
| anybody any courtesy" retorted Mr..
| Hoar. in kind. she is hopeless bank
rupt: he could not pay -thousandth
| of a mill on the dollar"
He could pay as much as the sena-
tor from Massachusetts" returned Mr.
| Harris. and with this parting shot the
| incident closed.
