WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-In the senate
today Mr.. Turpie (Dem., Ind.), from the
committee OH foreign relations, reported
favOrably the following resolution:
Resolved, That from the facts and
papers laid before the senate it is un-
wise and inexpedient under the existing
conditions to consider at this time any
project of 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; foreign
Intervention in the political affairs of
these islands would be regarded as an
act unfriendly to the government of the
United States.
Senator Turpie asked for immediate
consideration of the resolution.
Senator Teller objected vigorously.
and the resolution went over under the
rules

treasury to issue the bonds now con-

favor of the resolution. When Senator
Stewart concluded. the bill repeating
the federal election law was taken up.

said Senator Wilson, ''to SO provide for
proper legislation as to show correct
returns of the ballots cast in accordance
with the prevailing laws relating there
to. When these ends are accomplished
this nation will be blest with pure cleo
tons and correct returns. Congress de-
rived from the constitution the power
to enact the federal election law. If we
want pure elections and honest returns
therefrom, we will not satisfy the coun-
try by passing this bill. If it is uncon-
Stltutional, rs they say. why don't they

effective answer would be that they
have been there. and that the supreme
court differed from them, and declared
that the election law was in full legal
harmony with the constitution.
s.The present contention may be
justly defined as the Democratic Party
VS.. the Constitution and the Supreme
court. The Democratic party takes
issue with the court and proposes to re-
peal all the laws on this subject without
enacting anything in their place, but
corrupt elections will not confer perma-
nent success upon any party"
At the conclusion of MIR. Wilson's re-
marks, Senator CulIom asked unanimous
consent to take up the resolution of
Senator Frye declaring against inter-
ference in Hawaiian affairs. Senator
Chandler, of the Republican side, was
quite willing to extend the time to Sen
ator Cullom for that purpose and allow
the election bill to 90 over.

broader proposition to the senator
from Delaware (Mr. Gray; would sug-
gest that the bill repeating the election
law be allowed to go over until the 1st
OF December next. In the absence of any
recommendation by the president of the
United States that this bill should pass,

United States would be very willing to
let these laws remain oil the statute
books and be tested at another congress

Senator Gray. however, objected, and
Senator Chandler then yielded to Sena-
tor Culiom. The election bill being
temporarily laid aside, the Illinois SEN
ator addressed the senate on Mr.. Frye's
Hawaiian resolution of non-interfer.

In his opening remarks Senator Gull

revolution OF last year, Occasioned, he
asserted, by the queen when she at
tempted to revoke the constitution of
1887. He spoke in sharp terms of this
action, and then directly attacked the
policy of the administration.
Abundant testimony, he said, has been
furnished upon every hand in contro-
version of the assumed theory of the
president and the secretary of state and
the reported declaration of Minister
Willis. that the revolution was primarily
melted and fostered by United States
Minister Stevens and by Capt. Wiltse,
who was in command of the Boston.
That theory has been so completely

testimony, which proof has been accept

present it again on this OCCASION. But
