WASHING TON, Jan. 29.-The Hawaiian
controversy and the federal election
bill occupied the time of the senate to-
day. Senator Teller. of Colorado, ar
gued in favor OF the annexation of
Hawaii. The Hawaii resolution went
over, and will doubtless be again dis
cussed at length before a vote is
reached. In the senate this morning
Senator Vest Dem. Mo- entered a
protest against the habit of Republican
members of reading petitions against
the passage Of the Wilson bill. The
rules provide that all petitions shall be
mentioned by title, and when Senator
Dolph (Rep., Orr proceeded to read
petition of binding twine employees of
Oregon Senator Vest promptly object
ed, and, despite the remonstrances Of
Senator Dolph. secured ruling from
the vice president that such petitions
can only be read by unanimous consent.
Senator Wolcott (Rep., COLI presented
the memorial of the Colorado legisla-
ture, heretofore published, repudiating
the proposition of Gov. Waite that the
Colorado legislature has any power to
legislate on the
MONETARY QUESTION.
In speaking on the resolution, Mr..
Wolcott said: II ask that the resolution
be read as bearing testimony of the fact
that the people Of Colorado stand or fall
with the laws of the rest of the country;
that they accept the situation, painful
aid unfair as it may be; and | may add
to this memorial, that although the silver
MD lcft~ hoe gfpt aiyA n
perity is returning to its borders, and
its citizens have found other channels OF
industry" The resolutions were read
and referred. Senator Stewart has in
troduced resolution declaring that, in
the judgment of the senate, Secretary
Carlisle is not clothed with the legal
authority to issue bonds. Senator HOar
(Rep., Mass introduced a bill giving
suspended pensioners the right to ap-
peal their cases to the United States
court of their districts after giving due
notice of such intention to the commits
sioner of pensions. The following reso-
luton was presented by Senator Stew
art (Rep., New: Resolved, That IN
the judgment of the senate of the
United States the secretary of the
treasury is not at THE time clothed un-
der existing laws with authority to issue
and
SELL BONDS
and other Understanding obligations
of the government. 81 would like to
have that resolution voted on tOmOT-
row." said Senator Stewart.
1.-The bonds are about to be issued.
This is an important question, and it
seems TO me that the senate ought to
express an opinion one way or the
other"
Mr.. Teller made strong speech on
the presidents Hawaiian policy, assert
ing that it was the only instance in
which a government had recognized an
other government. but had Immediately
sought to tear that government down.
The Hawaiian resolution then went
to the calendar, and the federal election
bill was taken up, and Senator Chand-
Ter (Rep., n. H. took the floor in OPP
position 10 the election bill. He re-
sumed his discussion of the fraudulent
means alleged by him to have been
employed by the Democrats to gain con-
troll of the New York Legislature in
1891.
At the conclusion of Senator Chand-
ler's argument Senator Higgins rep.
DELI spoke in opposition of the bill.
A colloQuy took place between Sen
atorS Chandler, Gray and Hoar and
Hill over the existing Delaware law,
similar to the federal election law, the
Democratic senators alleging that it
would be promptly repealed as soon as
the federal election law is repealed.
At 5:46. on motion of Senator Harris,
the senate went into executive session,
and adjourned at O'Clock
