WASHINGTON, May 23.-At the opening
of the Senate to-day Kyle urged the pas
sage of his resolution, arguing that it was
not the purpose of The United States to use
force 10 restore LiluOkalani as Queen Of
the Hawaiian Islands and that any foreign
interference with those islands would be
regarded as an act of hostility to the Uni
ted States.
Daniel OF Virginia objected to action on
the resolution until the resolution on the
same subject reported by the Foreign AT
fairs Committee had first been acted upon.
Frye advocated the passage of this or
similar resolution, saying he had infOr-
nation from responsible persons that the
moment the Senate acted the Queen would
resign all pretense TO the throne and ac-
cept money compensation therefor. This
being the condition in the islands in the
name of humanity he appealed to the SEN
ate TO pass the resolution.
At this point the hour of 1890 arrived
and the resolution went over aud the tariff
bill was taken up.
Hale led off with a sarcastic comment on
Gorman's speech of yesterday. saying that
the Senator from Maryland had emerged
from his secusion just at the time when
his party stood discre dited, its ranks bro
ken, It's cOherency Of action lost, an indig-
nant people showing its dstrnsr, the news
papers piiing up denuncation after denun-
citation, and with panic imminent on his
own side Of the chamber. The bill as it
now stood, Hale said, had no responsible
parents. IL was a political bastard. 1t
was the result of the intercourse of those
who had abandoned party principle with
the easy virtues of few protected indus
tries and the habitual prostitution of the
trusts. 1t had us origin in the back room
of New York office.
The Aldrich amendment to increase the
duty on tinplate TO IL cents per pound
was laid on the tabIe-36 TO %.
The Jones tinplate amendment was then
adopted fixing the duty at 1 lis cents,
as was also the Jones amendment grant
ing the duty on steel ingots and blooms.
according to size and value.
The surprise of the day was the accept
ance by the Finance Committee of an
amendment offered by Allen P.) of Ne
braska TO place barbed wire on the free
list. Several Repu blicans opposed it, but
did not carry their opposition to the ex-
tent of demanding a record-making vote
