What would have followed IN this flow
of delicate sarcasm, the senate VIII never
know. The galleries so Ncenly appreciated
the words OF the nator that he was inter
rupted with Mastering applause which the
presiding officer was Obliged to suppress
by a threat to clear the galleries.
Continuing, MIR. Davis quoted from the
letter of President Cleveland to President
Dole, to show that Commissioners Blount
was more than personal representative.
"AIr. B,ount," said he, was sent to the
Hawaiian islands on the chivalrous quest
inspired by the deluSion l have depicted.
In the letter accrcd.ting him 10 President

States derived the power to arbitrate thit
question. Who conferred such authority
on him2 Who made him CONSERVATION
protector, defender of the kingdom?
AIR Davis, in concluding, said:
"This is great question, great in It's
