The Federal Elections Bill Repeal.

The Federal Elections Bill Repeal.
 Chandler, Hoar, Mitchell and Hig- gins, constituting the Republican mi nority uf the senate committee on privileges and elections presented a report to the senate on the bill to repeal the federal election laws late this after noon. The report says: 'It is proposed to overthrow all existing provisions of national legislation for securing honesty in elections for members of the national house of representatives. These provisions were enacted lagely for the security of elections in the northern cities. The laws now in force were passed chiefly in consequence of frauds and crimes which have been com mitted by the Democratic party in the city Of New York rrdor tho leade-- ship of Tweed and his associates and those laws commended themselves alike to his Republican opponents and to many respectable and judicious Demo- crats."
 The report reviews the circumstances which led to the enactment of recon struction of legislation, the civil rights bill and election laws at great length. The passage of the bill, it says, will con- vey to the people of the country this notice: "The Democratic party con- trolled by the states of the solid south has an ineradicable hostility to the national power."

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Senator Davis Tn resuming his speech commenced yes terday on the Hawaiian question, as- serted that the landing of the American marines at the order of Minister Stew ems was only in accordance with the practices in case of revolution and had many times been demonstrated to be of necessity in preserving the inter- ests of American citizens. Ii the queen, by violation of the constitution and her own revolutionary acts, precipi- tated counter revolution, she should not complain of any indirect influence that might have been exerted by the necessary landing Or the American forces to protect American interests.
 "When the revolution commenced, /" said Davis, "the farce came to an end Stage lords and stage ladies vanished into the population the ex-queen laid aside her tinsel crown and put of her tawdry regalis and re-entered private life through the stage entrance, but a D tactical and real government took the place of this pernicious monarchy. A firm government conducted by able men entered on the abandoned stage. To the whole world the proceedings have been spectacular. As the show is ending, the Democratic party comes in as spectator, just az Don Quixote and Sancho Panza entered the puppet show in Spain. Laughter.I With the Dem. ocratic party as with the Don, the per formanee was real. They saw in the puppets and >Dthe stage. queen weak, overpowered, oppressed and dis honored. lGreat laughter.l Sancho against the evidence of his senses, saN through the eyes of his master" What would have follow ed in this delicate flow of sarcasm the senate vii never know. The galleries so keenly appreciated the words of the senator that he was interrupted with hatterins applause which the presiding officer was obliged to suppress by . threat tt clear the galleries.
 Continuing, Davis quoted from tht letter of President Cleveland to Presi dent Dole, to show that Commissione Blount was more than personal repre- sentative. The president had violated the privileges of the senate by sending Commissioner Blount with such au thorlty to Hawaii. Davis inquired b, what authority the president of tht United States derived power to arbi trate the question.
 In conclusion he said "This is grea question, great in facts, great Tn i'm portance. great in it's constitutional as pect. The American people have caus to decide it and they will institute tribunal of national judgment" TAp plause].
 Turpie followed, and spoke in tn same strain on the Hawaiian question At the close of his speech Chandle presented the majority report of tn committee on privileges and election on the bill to repeal the federal election laws.
 At 4 20, or the motion of German the senate went into executive sessiol and afterward adjourned.
