WASHINGTON. May p.
SENATE.

The resolution offered last Wednes.
dav BIZ Mr.. Kyle in relation 10 Hawaii,
vas taken up. Mr.. Kyle accepted q
substitute offered by Mr.. Teller, bu
5Ir. Gray insisted that action should
! be taken not On this resolution but on
that offered by Mr.. Turpie several
months ago, aud reported back from
the committee on foreign relations. He
moved ii as substitute for the Kyle
resolution.
Mr. Henderson pointed out differ
ences between the two resolutions, par
ticularly as 10 the declaration in the
Turpie resolution that it is not eIpedi-
ent under existing conditions to consid-
er the question OF annexation. He
hoped that overtures from the Ha-
waiian republic to the American re
public for annexation would be receiy-
ed and ne did not wish that question
TO be foreclosed.
The discussion was going on when it
was interrupted by the regular order
the tariff bill-which was then taken up,
the pending question being on para
graph No. l43 putting duty OF 30 per
cent. or breech-loading shotguns.
Mr.. Hoar made some remarks on the
Hawaiian resolution and was then
about 70 make correction Of the jour
nal, when Mr.. Harris rose 10 insist upon
consideration Of the tariff bill. u Will
yield the floor in ten seconds" Mr..
Hoar pleaded.
Il hope he will, and in less than ten
seconds" Mr. Harris put il CURLY.
Il think the Senator from Tennes-
see Mr.. Hoar retorted, sharply, car
ries his feeling toward other Senator'S
too far. He is in charge OF this bill, to
which | am about 10 address myself.
And he constantly, OCT OF order, thrust=
in his angry, peremptory and although

c4lIy dizcourtaous lectures on other Ser

VIII the Senator allow me - Mr..
Harri- asked.
Il viii. " Mr. Hoar answered.
The tariff bill, SAID Mr. Harris IN
pressively, SIS the thing now before he
senate. The Senator from 91assa-
chusetts Is violating the rules OF the
senate, or at least the universal under
standing. And, in view OF the conduct
Of the Senator from Massachusetts,, the
Senator from Tennessee owes him less
courtesy than he owes any other Sena-
tor; and the Senator from Tennessee is
not inclined TO extend TO him any more
courtesy than he is bound TO extend. :,
The Senator from Tennessee, Mr..
Hoar rejoined with caustic bitterness,
If he owes courtesy TO the Senate, or
to one Senator, will he bankrupt; be
cause he docs not possess enough of it
o pay one mill, or the thousandth
part Of one mill, on the dollar Of that
debt" lLauehter
Sir. Harris was in the act OF replying
when the N'ice-PreSident raped for
order, and continued rapping until the
scene came to close.
Dir. Hoar made the amende honor
able to Dir. Harris for the testing re
mark made last evening, in which he
referred TO the Tennessee Senator, not
as a general, but as drum major; said
that it was meant merely as a rallying
Jest, and expressed the highest regard
for him as man, 4 Senator and par
liamentary expert. Mr.. Harris accept
ed the apology.
Mr.. Teller took up the subject of Mr.
Germans speech OF Wednesday and
:poke of the Maryland Senator as a
democratic Moses leading his party
through the wilderness, but having the
advantage that he was to participate in
the triumph and the glory-an advan-
tage which had been denied to the old
Moses. He closed his speech with the
declaration that, believing that the tar
iii bill would add burdens to the people
and not take off their weight, he would
vote against it in all its phases.
Mr.. Blanchard then took the floor
and made his maiden speech in the
Senate in advocacy OF the tariff bill and
particular y in defense of the sugar
schedule. He paid his respects 10 Mr..
Higgins for recent remark of his IN
which he thanked God that he did not
take his ideas from the South F.; and he
quoted the parable of the Pharisee and
the Publican. The application of the
parable, he said. was obvious. The
Senator from Delaware had thanked
heaven that he was not as
other men were-that he did not
take his ideas from the South. He,
Mr.. Blanchard, when he heard the re-
mark, thanked God with all the fei-
vencv Of his nature that the Senator
from Delaware did not take his ideas
from the south. Iaughter.) And he
did not believe that the people of Dele
ware had any sympathy with that
miserable fling at the people of the
south
HOUSE.
The House refused to consider two
or three private bills by unanimous
consent and went into committee OF
the whole to consider bills on the pri-
vate calendar.
Mr. Springer gave notice that to-mor-
row he would call up the Brawley bill,
involving the repeal of the ten per cent.
bank tax.
The first bill considered was one for
the relief of Thomas B. Reed. an officer
in the PENNSYLVANIA troops during the
