Mr.. Kyle's Resolution Again Up in
the Senate.
MR.. FURPTE WANTS HIO ACTED ON
Sharp Words Between Senaton
Harris and Hoar.
MATTERS IN THE HOUSE

|
for vote upon the resolution, but Mr..
Gray DelD thought that IL vote was to
be had upon a resolution relating TO Hawaii
IL should be upon the one which Mr.. Tur-
| pie had reported from the committee on
| foreign relations. That resolution had been
| carefully considered ard had been debated
at length in the Senate. He moved to SUBJ
stitute that resolution for the one offered
| by Mr.. Kyle. The Turpie resolution is a.
follows:
Resolved, That from the facts ana pa
pers laid before the Senate IL is unwise and
inexpedient under existing conditions to
| consider at this time any project of an
nexation of the Hawaiian territory to the
United States; that the provisional govern
ment therein having been duly recognized
| the highest International interests require
| that II shall pursue its own line Of polity.
| Foreign Intervention in the political affairs
| OF these islands will be regarded as an act
| unfriendly TO the government of the United
| States"
The Difference Between the Two.
Mr.. Manderson CNeb.) did not understand
how there could be any objection to the
Kyle resolution in the Senate, while on the
| Turpie resolution, the main feature OF
which was an expression on the subject OF
annexation, there was material difference
| Of opinion. He believed that as soon as
the republic was organized in Hawaii over
| tures looking TO annexation would follow.
| The Kyle resolution simply declared a
policy OF non-interference. The Turpie reso-
| luton raised an entirely different question,
! and in view of the march Of events might
prove embarrassing.
Mr.. Teller (Col) agreed with Mr. Man.
| derson that an expression now on the SUBJ
| iect of annexation would not be timely.
| Mr.. Morgan, chairman of the COMMITTEES
| on foreign relations, also agreed with Mr..
Manderson that there was no necessity for
an expression on the subject of annexation.
| Mr.. Turpie argued that his resolution was
| clothed in more diplomatic language than
Mr.. Kyles. and being colorless as far as
| political divisions We're concerned. was pref
! erab BILE to IL in text and terms.
! At this point the hour of 1890 arrived
| ard Mr.. Harris insisted upon the regular
order. The tariff bill accordingly was laid
Mr.. Frye's Protest.
Mr.. Frye CMe) protested against cutting
of action on the Hawaiian resolution. II
| was Of supreme importance TO the Hawa-
| iian Islands that the Senate should take
| scme action. Yet for three months the
| Sci ate had dallied in a manner that was
| utterly inexcusable The people Of Hawaii
| were on a pivot. The action OF the Senate
might send them forward or backward.
| Why this miserable clubbing should 60
| on was beyond his comprehension. There
| could be no reason why the people living on
| those islands should not be given liberty OF
| thought and action. He asked unanimous
| consent that those resolutions should be
voted on without debate tomorrow morning.
MIR. Turpie objected. Mr.. Frye then modi-
fled his request and asked that they be con-
sidered again tomorrow. Mr.. George OF
Mississippi objected
Then followed a sharp clash between Mr..
| Hoar and Mr. Harris. Mr.. Hoar was dis
posed TO continue the debate. He said that
| il was the universal sentiment not only OF
the Senate. but Of the country, that there
| should be no interference by the United
| States with the domestic affairs Of Hawaii.
Sharp Words by Messrs. Harris and
Hoar.
Mr.. Morgan, chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee fully indorsed what Mr.
| Hoar had said and the latter was proceed
ing to say that he hoped Mr.. Morsan's n.
dorsement of his statement would echo
around the world, when Mr. Harris. who
had grown very impatient, broke in and
declared that the tariff bill was before the
Senate, and further debate this subject
was out OF order.
| Mr.. Hoar fared up. He protested in Wig
orous terms against what he termed these
| repeated angry and discourteous lectures
from the Senator from Tennessee
THE tariff bin is before the Senate" re-
torted Mr.. Harris. emphatically. land the
| Senator from Massachusetts is violating
the rules by continuing the debate on q
resolution that has just gone over. As far
\ as the courtesy OF the Senator from Ten
nessee is concerned" he added. in whitening
tones. he owes less courtesy to the Sena-
Ior from massachusetts than any other
Senator on the floor"
IF the Senator from Tennessee owes 'any-
body any courtesy" retorted Mr.. Hoar in
kind, he is a hopeless bankrupt: he could
dollar"
He could pay as much as the Senator
| from Massachusetts" returned Mr. Harris
closed
MIR. Teller Arraigns the Democracy.
| Mr. Aldrich to substitute the Mckinley
mates on shot guns, rifles and pistols for the
rates In the bill Mr.. Teller (ColoD took
the floor and made a general arraignment
OF the democratic administration, using
MI. Germans speech Of Wednesday as his
text Mr.. German. he said, had hailed
himself as Moses leading his party out of
tne wilderness. but, unlike the old Noses
| he proposed to participate in the trtuunh
MI Teller cared nothing about the triumph
| OF democracy, but he did desire TO address
some remarks to Mr.. Germans prophecy
/ OF the prosperity that would follow the
enactment of the present bill. The country
was accustomed to hear prophecies in con-
| nection with pending legislation. Consid-
| ering the avowals OF many of Mr. Gorrnan's
democratic associates that they had heen
| forced and dragooned into the support Of
| the pending bill, Mr.. Teller could not un-
oerstand the exultation OF the Senator from
Maryland. Mr.. Teller then proceeded al
| some length to point out how prophecy
after prophecy made when the bill 10 repeal
the purchasing clause OF the Sherman law
was before the Senate had failed The ex-
port OF gold had not stopped. More gold
mad been exported this month than in any
month Tor several years. The treasury had
been compelled TO issue $50 600 600 Of bonds

| monetary problem al a
the present distress and depression OF the
world In his exposition of the financial
/ situation Mr.. Teller stated that one-third
! of the railroads of the United States were
! in the hands of receivers and that those
| which were solvent could be counted on the
| fingers of the two hands He declared that
! the savings banks Of the country. IN which
| 81, ,10O, 100000 were deposited, could not
| raise 1000, 100000 on their assets When

MIR. Gordon's Question.
! Mr.. Gordon asked whether Mr.. Teller did
not think that the removal of the tax on
state banks would in a large measure solve
| the monetary question.
Mr.. Teller replied that the relief offered
by such an expedient would only be tempo
rary and would be confined to this country
