be had been guilty of treachery and
that in the scheming with sugar inter-
ests to overthrow a weak monarchy with
the view to annexation. he bad been
guilty of cowardics He analysed the
events of the revolution itself to show
Stevens zeal in behalf of the revolution

of single sclentilla of evidence to prove
Cleveland's policy wrong, which had
for its purpose the righting of the worst
national wrong ever contemplated by
the use of force.

never give his consent to the territorial
extension Of the United States to these
islands, 1000 miles beyond our western

rev Interpretation OF ths constitution,
upon provisions OF the constitution sup
posed to have been settled beyond
doubt for a hundred years. Even the
preamble Of the constitution is sufficient
to indicate the power to make laws for
the regulation of congressional elections,
vested in congress. Hawley quoted the
constitution providing for the election of
members of congress and said there can
be nothing palmer than this. James

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-The Hawaiian
debate again occupied the attention of
the house, night session eng held to
permit speeches by those who desire d to
talk, but who otherwise would not have
had an opportunity on account of the
limited time allowed. The debate is
attracting much less attention in the
house than was anticipated. This Is
perhaps partly due to the abandonment
of the plan Of reetoration of
the administration and partly to the
fact that the long tariff debate has
{ urfelted the house. The principal
speeches today were made by johnson,
of Indiana; Boutelle Ohio. Patterson,
Tenn, and Black, of Illinois.
Black, democrat of Illinois, argued |
in favor of the policy of non-int rfer
ence and said the republicans were
working FOR political effect. "We are |
after Stevens" said he, land we think |
we will get him"

fin spoke against and for the McCreary
resolution.

could have been annexed under the |
bounty clause of the Mckinley law,
sugar planters there would have re |
ceIved from the United States treasury |
THE desire of the sugar planters
to put their hands into the pockets of |
the American people lay at the bottom
Of the revolution of 1885," said the
