ADMIRAL WALKERS REPORT
Its Publication Has Caused Wide Comment
in Congress.
The Action of the Administration is
DenOunced-Congre May Order n
Vessel Sent to Hawaii.

The correspondence of Admiral Walker
with relation to Hawaii, which was so
long concealed by the State Department
and published only yesterday, in response
to demand of the Senate. has excited
wide comment in Congress. The last re-
port of Admiral Walker, written on his
way home in August, which frankly and
fearlessly states the situation, attracts
particular attention as disclosing the In
difference of this administration as to the
fate of Hawaii and the danger threatened
of England's interfering to get control
by the restoration of the monarchy or
other interference with the new govern
ment. The fact that in spite of the urgent
recommendation of Admiral Walker that
an American vessel should be kept there
and the warning he gives of the danger to
American interests, there is still no United
States naval vessel in those waters, is re-
garded as most extraordinary and is COM
mented upon as amounting almost to an
offer to England to carry out any policy
she may deem desirable as to the Ha-
waiian Island
Administrations Action Denounced.
The action of the administration in this
matter Is very earnestly denounced by
those who believe that no foreign gov
ernment should be permitted to interfere
in Hawaiian affairs.
The vigorous and frank language of Adj
mral Walker as to the efforts of the Brit
ish representative in Hawaii to establish
British influence is regarded as furnishing,
the best possible reason for the mainte-
nance of a naval force in those waters, and
the failure to do 50 Is regarded as tauta-
mount to an abandonment of the American
interests and of the declared policy of this
country not to permit foreign interference
in the affairs Of those islands.
What Congress VIII Do.
A resolution will be introduced in Con-
gress, probably in both houses. looking to
the immediate ordering CT one or more
naval vessels to Honolulu. Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts will probably introduce
a resolution in the Senate. The exact form
In which the resolution will be drawn is
not yet decided on. 1t may come in the
form of an inquiry as to why naval ves-
sci has not been kept at Honolulu, but Ii
Is more apt to be an expression of opinion
by Congress that n naval force sufficient
to maintain TIE American interests and to
prevent foreign interference in the affairs
of Hawaii should be sent at once to Hon
olulu.

A PRESIDENTIAL RESIDENCE.
Senator Qray Introduces n Bill to
Purchase a Site.

Senator Quay today introduced a bill in
the Senate appropriating S1,00O,0O0 for the
purchase of a site for home for Presi-
dents of the United States. The property
described in the bill is theewell-known tract
of ground at the northeast corner of Flor
ida avenue and 18th street, on a portion Of
which the residence of A. L. Barbour
stands. This property is described In the
bill as block 80 Columbia Heights. subdi-
vision OF Mt. Pleasant and Pleasant Plains,
bounded by Florida avenue on the south,
18th street on the east, Clifton street on the
north and 14th street extended on the west,
containing 3Sl ,903i2 square feet. The first
section OF the bill appropriates "a sum of
money sufficient to pay for said square, not
exceeding S1,OO0,OO0." The Secretary of the
Treasury is directed to purchase this real
estate, or such parcels as he may be able to
purchase, at a price not exceeding 50 a
square foot. In case he is unable, however,
to make such a purchase at such a price
the bill provides a method of condemnation
similar to that in vogue in other cases, by
which the Secretary may acquire the title
to the property for the government at other
than private bargain.
The bill makes no provision whatever for
the erection of the building upon the
grounds to be thus purchased, leaving that
for future legislation to accomplish. At the
request of Mr.. Quay, the bill was referred
to the committee on public buildings and
grounds.
