arriving at Honolulu was to give an order
TO haul down the American ensign.
Why" he said, Il had grown into the
idea that the American ensign could not
be hauled down. Applause. In times
past an order had been given, under
other circumstances. TO shoot any man
who attempts TO haul down the flag
Applause.
He advocated annexation because Ha-
waii was necessary TO the dominion of the
United States in the Pacific, and II we
allowed 1t to fall into the hands of an an
tagoniStic military power II could control
our entire Pacific coast and could inter
fere with our Pacific commerce.
AS Mr. Blair finished his remarks, Mr..
johnson, rep, of Maryland, asked that,
as the members of the foreign affairs
committee were consuming all the time
for debate, the House should hold an
evening session tonight in order to give
other members chance to speak.
STONE GOES FOR STEVENS.
Mr.. Stone, dem. of Kentucky, objected,
however, and Mr.. Money, dem. of Missis-
sipi, was recognz d. While he MT un-
dertake TO defenu the moral charac Ger of
the queen, he declared that had nothing
to do with her right 10 rule. He believed
that MIR Stevens was not only party TO
a plan to overthrow the queen, but that
the plan was most carefully laid. The
minister knew that he had no right what
ever to land marines except at the re-
quest of the government, for he had so
admitted before; yet he landed troops
from the Boston at the request of self
appointed committee Of safety.
Touching the legality of MIR, Blount's
appointment, Mr.. Money said he had a
list OF 100 presidents, few of which he
quoted and then, referring TO the flag low
ering incident, he said Mr.. Blount had
the same right to haul down the Ameri-
can flag as he had to haul it down from
the mast Of pirate.
SHARP DISCUSSION.
A sharp discussion occurred between
Messrs Money and Pickler, rep, of South
Dakota, In the course of which the latter
asked whether Mr.. Money indorsed the
action of the administration In persisting
In its policy OF restoration after it had
learned that the queen threatened to ex-
ecute all those who were engaged In the
revolution. Mr.. Money replied that the
administration had not persisted in its
ally stated that IL could not
continue its mediation unless she
agreed TO the condition imposed.
But do you indorse the course of the
administration in being willing 10 restore
the queen, oven though she accepted the
terms, after learning whata bloodrthirsty
woman she wasln persisted Mr.. Picker.
81 endorse the course of the administra-
tion," said Mr. Money, slowly, as II
weighing his words carefully, "in persist
ing in its friendly mediation"
MIR. Pickler continued to press his
question, but in slightly different form.
do you endorse the course OF the admin
istration In trying to put such woman
over American citizens ?" he asked.
Mr.. Money said that the question was
| irrelevant, and unless tho gentleman from
| South Dakota confined himself to the sub.
| lect under discussion he would have e
decline to yield further.
Mr.. Moneys time expired shortly after
ward and he was warmly applauded.
