yarns from which they are woven. In

Davis Makes . Speech Against the Pol >
icy of Infamy.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. M--The senate
passed the house resolution tor an investi-
ton into the personnel Of the navy. with
an amendment that it be made by sub
committees of the naval affairs com mittee
OF the two houses instead of by q special
com mission. The Peffer resolution pro-
yiding for inquiry into the delay in the
construction of public buildings was
adopted
German, replying to PETER. said the
trouble was that congress had made appro-
priations for more public buildings within
the last few years than it had been physic-
ally possible 10 construct. The appropri-
atoms of the government during the past
three years had exceeded by over $500 600, :
600 the total revenues of the government.
Call thought it important that all public
buildings to be constructed should be
begun as soon as possible, in order to give
employment to the millions OF unemployed
American laborers now in actual need and
distress.
Senator Dolph did not think il the duty
of the government to provide re-
lief for the general desfitution. He
referred TO the communication of the
governor of Oregon on Christmas day to
the president. declaring the people of his
state were indignant at the governor, and
had adopted resolutions denying his state
ments
Davis of Minnesota then addressed the
senate on the Frye resolution against the
use of naval force in Hawaii Political
history for the past forty years was re-
viz IN, Aafa II h CO 49, n.
He insisted that the evidence Contained in
Blount's report. instead Of sustaining the
conclusions Of the comnaiSsiozsr rs mat
ter of fact sustained the position OF ex-
Minister Stevens. In the revolution of
1850 the woman afterward queen, now the
pretended queen of Hawaii, was the prime
mover. This revolution was to overthrow
her own brother. Her record shows that
she violated pledges. and oaths, and
that no reliance can be placed
IN her. No assurance is felt
that her conduct in future will
be otherwise than il has been in the past.
The testimony is concurrent" said Sena-
tor Davis, ''that the revoiutionists ex-
pected TO have trouble; that they did not
rely on United States troops or marines
for the success of their movement, and
that they were able TO take care of them
selves. This revolution would have gone
on if not marine had set foot in Hawaii.
All this talk of implied duress by United
States troops by reason OF their position is
the merest fallacy. Success of the revolu-
ton was already assured and complete
and its recognition was a condition and
not theory" Senator Davis announced
that he would conclude tomorrow. The
senate went into executive session and
after ward adjourned
