Mr.. Sayers presentedithe sundry civil appro-

Mr. Hit briefly resisxed the previous revo-
lutions in Hawaii. and referred to the abuses
which had led to thsss resolutions. and to the
vile crew Of the fs'ses gang" which had So
disgustcd Respectable Eeisigans that they had

had corrected the evisssand abuses Of the cor.
rnPt court, and had returned to their peaceful
avecatioBs, they had ne sooner Withdrawn from
the palace than the sdebauehery began again.
Again they returned and evsrthrew the de-
PRAYED Government, and when it occurred the
third time they got tired, and flung away the
monarchy for good. [Applause. 1t remained
for the President of the United States to pick
up that deprayea and paltry bauble and force
it back upon the shoulders of eur own fellow
citizens.
The Speaker then recognized Mr.. Rayner
md. d., member of the Foreign Affairs COM
mittes, who made a defense of the President
and Paramount Commissioner Blount. In
adverting to he incident of the raising of the
American flag at Honolulu, he said that Mr..
Stevens and his flag were like an Irishman
and his shiilelah; whenever you see head hit
it, and whenever you see place to raise flag
run it up Loud Republican applause greeted
this.

MONDAY. FEB. s.
In the Senate, after routine business, Senator
Chandler took the floor in opposition to the
Federal elections repeal bill. He said in part:
Vigilance to protect the lives of citizens and
the freedom, purity, and honesty of tho suf-
frage is vital and must be eternal, if the Re-
public is to live. / wish to speak briefly in
behalf of the colored people of the country,
who stand sadly in need of National cOnsidera-
ton and National protection" Continuing,
the Senator reviewed the ante war history of
the country, and then, abiding to the attempts
made by the Democratic party in recent years
to secure the repeal of the Federal election
laws, said: where is the Democratic party to
stop if tomorrow it repeats the election law
which was adopted to carry into effect the 18th
amendment also? II they take away the suf-
frage from the black man. will they not also,
little by little, III this reaction and Tetrogres-
sion. come to reduce the black man substan.
TALLY to condition of slavery7"
Senator Palmer followed Senator Chandler
ing more especially about the effect of Republi-
can legislation upon the negro race.
n ha Mr. TO INN 70
speech in the Hawaiian debate. He roundly
scored the policy of the Administration.
Mr.. Johnson lind, B. took the floor, and |
made strong speech arraigning the course of !
the present Administration in attempting TO |
restore the deposed Queen. He drew a vivid |
picture of the efforts of Mr. Willis and evolved |
out OF it all the plot OF a new comic opera, to bs |
called LiiuokoIani. Like the fatal blow which |
killed Laertes, he said such an opera would be |
q " hit pal pable hit"
Mr.. Patterson Tenn, d. followed Mr.. John
son. The Harrison Administration. said he,
pursuing the imperial policy of the Republican
party, coveted the possession of the Hawaiian
Islands. The Minister at Honolulu was in
perfect sympathy with the Administration at
The sugar interests, he argued,
were behind the annexation movement.
Messrs. Wheeler ala, d. and Oates ALA, d.
the debate. The former delivered a
glowing eu)ogy of President Cleveland. The
latCeF argued IN benaU or the adoption OF the !
resolution from legal stand point.
The only thing the Administration had done
was to repudiate the illegal act of Minister
Stevens.
Mr.. Boutelle tMe-, B.. who followed Mr. |
Oates. said that lis prime object in persistng
in his attempt to call up his privileged reso.
luton had been attained i'm bringing the SUBJ
ject now under discussion to the attention Of
the House and the American people.
The eScUtphe0n of the United Sfafee had
been untarnished up to the 4th Of March, 1893,
but then was inaugurated policy of conceal
ment and duplicty which had lowered the re-
spect with which foreign nations regarded the
United States.
Gen. Black I'll, d. in a speech which oc-
cupied nearly an hour. made most eloquent
and earnest defense of the Administration. He
did not attack the course of Minister Stevens !
nor did he defend the actions of Minister
Willis, but replied to some assertions made in |
Mr.. BOntelle's resolutions rejecting on the
President, among them the assertion that the
President had in vaded the rights and privileges
Of the House by Withholding the Hawaiian
from it,
