plause on both sides)
The gavel fell here, but Messrs. john
son Rep., Ind and Boutelle NRep., Me)
pleaded for an extension of time for MIR.
McCreary, in which he might continue
TO picture Democratic victory and TO
outline the foreign policy OF this ad-
minsiration Mr.. McCreary endeavored
TO respond, but Chairman Bailey's gavel
drowned his voice
The Chair ordered the clerk to read the
bill by sections for debate under the
FIVE minute rule.
Mr.. Lacey Rep.. Ia) offered his amend
ment, striking out the appropriation for
the payment Of the salary Of Minister
Wills at Honolulu.
Mr. McCreary made the point Of order
that it changed existing laws. This was
contrOvertcd by Messrs. Lacey and Ding
ley Rep.. Me). who claimed further
that 1t reduced expenditures.
The Chair overruled the point Of order.
The consideration OF the amendment
opened the Hawaiian question again. and
IL was discussed by Messrs. Grosyenor
/
ken Rep., Me). Hit Rep., Ill), Springer
Oem.. nl), Wilson (Rep.. Wash.), Nc
Millin Dem, TENN. and others.
Mr.. Hit said that ordinarily he would
not favor such an amendment as Mr.
Lacey's. because IL implied want Of
regard for the nation TO which the Min
lister was sent. But this was an eXcep-
tonal case. The Government OF Hawaii
believed that the present administration
of the United States was inimical TO it,
and. therefore a minister from this coun-
try to Hawaii was unnecessary because
ne could not be useful
Mr.. Springer paid tribute to Secre-
tary Gresham's position as a statesman
ana the ability with which he was dis
charging the duties Of Secretary of state.
The trouble with the Republicans seemed
TO be that the Secretary was 80 recently
a member Of their own party.
Finally a vote was reached. and Mr..
Lacey's amendment was defeated.
Considerable time was spent in dis
cussing an amendment proposed by Mr..
Cannon Rep., I'D, 10 change from an
indefinite amount to 10000 the appro-
prlauon for salaries ana expenses of
ministers, consuls. etc, while travelling
to and from their posts of duty; but 1t
was finally defeated.
Mr. Cannon Rep., I'D moved to re-
duce the appropriation for the salary for
the first secretary of the legation at
Mexico from $2625 to $3.50, the present
figure On this question, a vote by tell
ers being had. no quorum was found
yeas, 81; nays, 116-and the roll was
called. One hundred and ninety mem
bers answered TO their names. The dis
puted paragraph was, by unanimous con-
sent. then passed over, ard the commit
tee rose.
Mr.. Savers reported the result of the
conference on the urgent deficiency bill,
which was agreed TO, and, at 4:5O o'clock
