WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations to-day re-
ported favorably the following resolution
ResoIred, From the facts and papers laid be-
fore the Senate It is unwiSe and inexpedient
under existing conditions TO consider at this
time any project of the annexation OF the Ha-
wafian Islands TO the United States; that the
Provisional Government therein bavDg been
duly recognized, the highest International in
terest requires it shall pursue its own line OF
policy. Foreign intervention in the political
affairs of these islaDds would be regarded as an
act unfIiendly TO the Government OF The United
States.
Turpie, who reported the resolution on
behalf of the committee, said he was di-
rected by the committee to ask for immedl-
ate consideration, as it was the unanimous
expression Of the committee. except the
dissent of Senator D0lph 10 the first clause.
Turpe further explained the resolution
had no relation TO the special investiga-
ton being made by the committee.
Teller objected to its immediate consid-
GRAFTON on the ground that it had not been
printed, and Mills gave notice that when
II came up for consideration he would ask
for division of the question. So the
resolution went over under the rules.
A bill Tor a commission at the Antwerp
Exposition was presented by Henderson.
Stewart of Nevada spoke in favor of
PETERS resolution denying the authority
OF the Secretary of the Treasury to issue
bonds, and Wilson of Iowa spoke in oppo-
sition to the repeal of the Federal elections
law.
At the conclusion of Wilson's remarks
Cullom asked unanimous consent to take
up the resolution of Frye declaring against
interference in Hawaiian matters. Chan
, der was quite willing TO extend time to
Cullom for that purpose and allow the
election bill to 60 over.
In fact" said he. Il viii! make an even
broader proposition to the Senator from
Delaware Gray. l would suggest that
the bill repeating the election law be al
lowed TO go over until the 1st of December
next in the absence of any recommendation
by the President of the United States that
ttJfs biz should pass" fLauGhterl
II am very loath." said Gray. "to wound
the tender relations which exist between
the Senator from New Hampshire and the
President, but still, without regarding
these relations which compel the Senator
TO subordinate his own views 10 the views
of the executive. must insist that the bill
be considered now" [Laughterl
Chandler then yielded to Cullom, and
the election bill being temporarily laid
aside, the Illinois Senator addressed the
Senate on Frye's Hawaiian resolution of
AOn-inteTfeTence.
Cullom savagely attacked the policy of
the administration in the Hawaiian mat
ter. He said that abundant testimony had
been furnished to cOntrovert the assumed
theory of The President and the Secretary
of State that the revolution had been In
cited and f0stered By Minister Stevens
and Captain Wiltse, but in any case Cleve-
land found Government established and
In full possession and recognized by the
world. Cullom compared Blount's crafty
acts of the spy in Honolulu to the employ
ment of Major Andre by the British Gov
ernment in revolutionary times, and said
BIount deserved Andres fate. The cOun-
try had reached the conclusion that the
President and his Cabinet, with all their
new tangled ''paramounts" and cipher dis
patches, were merely Jin-clad actors in a
stupendous comedy Of errors.
At the conclusion Of Cullom's remarks a
resolution. presented by Dolph. was
adopted requesting the President TO COM
municate to the Senate any correspondence
exchanged between the Government of the
United States and the Governments of Co.
lombla, Venezuela and Hayti since the
proclamation issued by the President on
the 18th of March. 1892. levying import
duties Oh sugar, molasses, coffee, tea. hides
and other produce brought from those
countries to the United States.
Chandler replied 10 the recent speech of
Vest on the operations of the Federal
elections law in 1876 and the Senate ad-
iourned at 5 P. NJ.
