The interesting feature OF the day was
the debate on the Hawaiian resolution.
Mr.. Kyle asked for vote on the resolu-
tion. but Mr.. Gray insisted that II vote
was to be had on resolution relating TO
Hawaii IL should be on the one which Mr..
Turpie had reported from the committee
on foreign relations. That resolution had
been carefully considered and had been
debated at length in the senate He
moved TO substitute that resolution Tor
the one offered by Mr.. Kyle.
Mr.. Manderson 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

disposed to continue the debate. He said
that Il was the universal sentiment. not

aifairs OF Hawaii.
Mr.. Morgan fully endorsed what Mr.
Hoar had said, aud the latter was pro-
