took the floor and addressed the Senate
on the Hawaiian testimony taken by the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs. He
gave a sketch OF the intimate relations
existing between Hawaii and the United
States and the part American mission
aries played in developing civilization
there. He said the events recently en-
acted there were humiliating to this
country.
Frye read the letter of President Cleve-
land to President Dole, ending with the
words: 'May God have your excellency
in His wise keeping"
MIR. President" said Frye, impress
sively, 81 believe God heard that prayer
of President Cleveland, and answered it.
The magnificent courage OF that little
band of white men enabled them, when
confronted by the whole power OF the
United States represented in that harbor,
to say firmly and with dignity: We will
never surrender Such courage could
have only been divinely inspired"
Frye dwelt at some length on the state
of uncertainty and apprehension existing
in Hawaii, owing to the course OF Minis
ter Willis in regard to his intention to use
OF not use force.
Referring to Willis speech welcoming
Hawaii into the family Of nations, Frye
said while he was uttering these words OF
friendship and good will, he carried
in his pocket instructions to de-
stroy forever that Government which he
was so etfusively welcoming. Are you
proud of that ," he asked. Think OF it |!
