By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-In the senate
today the committee on foreign relations
reported favorably the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That from facts and papers
laid before the senate 1t is unwise and
inexpedient under the existing condi-
tions, to consider at this time any pro-
ject OF the annexation Of the Hawaiian
islands to the United States; that the
provisional government therein, having
been duly recognized, the highest inter
national interest requires that it shall
pursue its own line of policy. and tibet
foreign Intervention in the political
affairs of these islands would be re-
garded az an act uufriendly to the gov
eminent of the United States.
Turpie, who reported the resolution
on behalf of tie committee, said he
was directed by the committee to ask
immediate consideration, as it WAS the
unanimous expression of the committee.
except the dissent of Senator Dolph to
the first clause.
Turpie further explained that the res
olution had no relation to the special
investigation being made by the foreign
affairs committee.
Teller objected to immediate consid-
GRAFTON, on the ground that it had not
been printed, and Mills gave notice
that when it came up for consideration
he would ask for division on the ques-
ton, so the resolution went over under
the rules.
A bill for commission ct the Antwerp
exposition was presented by Henderson.
Stewart of Nevada spoke in favor of
PETERS resolution denying the authority
of the secretary of the treasury to Issue
bonds.
Wilson of Iowa spoke in opposition to
the repeal OF the federal elections law.
At the conclusion of Wilson's remarks
Cullum asked unanimous consent to
take up the resolution OF Frye, declar-
ing against interference in Hawaiian sf-
fairs. Chandler was quite willing to ex-
tend time to Oullom for that purpose,
and allow the elections bill to 60 over.
"In fact" said he, 81 will make even a
broader proposition to the senator from
Delaware Gray. l would suggest that
the bill repeating the elections law be
allowed to 60 over until the LIST of De-
cember next, in the absence any recon-
mendation by the president of the
United States that this bill should
pass" Laughter.l
II am very loath," said Gray, "to
wound the tender relations which exist
between the senator from New Hamp-
shire and the president, but still, with
out regarding these relations, which
compel the senator to subordinate his
own views to the views OF the executive.
must insist that the bill be considered
now" Laughter.
Chandler then yielded to Cullom, and
the elections bill, being temporarily laid
aside, the Illinois senator addressed the
! senate On Frye's Hawaiian resolution Of
non-interference.
Cullom savagely attacked the policy
of the administration in the Hawaiian
matter. He said abundant testimony
had been furnished to controvert the
assumed theory of the president and
secretary of state that the revolution
was melted and fostered by Minister
Stevens and Captain Wiltse, but in any
case, Cleveland found the government
established, with full possession, and
recognized by the world.
Collum compared Blount's crafty acts
of a spy in Honolulu to the employ.
ment OF Andre by the British govern.
ment in the revolutionary time, and
said Blount deserved Andres tate. The
country has reached the conclusion that
the president and cabinet. with all their
new tangled paramounts and cipher
dispatches, are merely tin-clad actors
in atupendous comedy of errors.
At the conclusion OF Cullom's remarks
resolution. preseted by Dolph. was

Chandler replied to the recent speech

elections law in 1875.
