of the foreign affairs COMMITTEES w'
pressed a Willingness To acduiesce !, 81, u
arrangement, but Mr.. Boutelle of W,ia'
wanted to precipitate the question -
mediately by calling up his resolntA.
Both sides were ugly, but after y ErI.

committee were not willing 10 90 oho.I
Win the Hawaiian discussion until n.
ltarnt debate had been gotten well nnd.,
way, however, and the question of a.,
Isideration was raised against the Boutap.
resolution. The Republicans then an~
cuted a flank movement by refusing !, :
vote. The Democrats found themseIvo.
in the Illuminating position of not bein,
able 10 muster a quorum. They wer.
in check, and after reyoking all leave,
of absence Mr.. Wilson reluctantly moved
an adjournment. The Democrats cons

outcome of yesterdays Republican tactip,
will probably be that the Hawaiian ma.

sion OF the senate was n resolution in FL
troduced by Senator Frye of Maine, daI
claring it to be the sense of the Sen
ate that the ADMINISTERS ton should M,
commit an overt act OF interference IN b
Hawaii pending the investigation of the Il
imbroglio by the senate committee o. n

resolution is 10 declare the sense of Tia n
senate adverse to any American ,gter b
ference either direct or indirect should 4
any coup d'etat be resorted to for The
purpose Of restoring the queen to thsE
throne. TIL senator asked that the resc y
luton lie upon the table for the present Il
and it is expected that ne will make hEf
the subject of some pertinent remarksf
before asking its reference 10 the CON
mittee on foreign affairs. Il
