AN ItNWnitun AcNolutlOn NhCh Goes
over-Tho Foreign Affairs Committee
Reports Against AnnexatIoG-0Ir. Cul.
lOrh's Speech.
WASHINGTON, D, G., Jan. 23.-Tn the
senate this morning Mr.. Turpio dem.
Ind from tho committee on foreign re-
ported favorably tho following resolu-
tion:
"Resolred, That from the factu and pa
ners laid before tho senate, it Is unwise
and inexpedieut under tho existing con-
dltions to consider at this timo any
project OF annexation OF the Hawaii
islanda to tho United States. That the
provisional government therein having
boon, duly recognized, the highest inter-
national interest requires that it shall
pursue it7 ono line OF policy; foreign In
tervention in tho political Affairs OF
these Islands would be regarded Us an
act unfriendly to tho government OF
the United Stateu."
Senator Turpie asked for immediate
consideration Of tho resolution.
Senator Teller (Rcp. Col.) objected
vigorously. and tho resolution won't
over underithe rules.
A bill for an American commission at
the Antwerp, Belgium, international
exposition, was presented by Senator
Manderson (Rep. Neb.)
When Senator Stewart concluded
speech on tho bond question, tho bill
repsaling tho federal election law was
taken up.
Senator Wilson (Rep., Iowa) ad-
dressed the senate in opposition to the
bill.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Wilson's re-
marks, Senator Cullom asked unani-
nous consent to take up the resolution
OF Senator Frye declaring against intor4
ference in Hawaiian affairs.
In his opening remarks Senator Gull
lom reviewed briefly the history OF Ha-
waii and the incidents which lead to
the revolution OF last year, occaaioned,
he asserted, by the quaen when she at
tempted to revoke the constitution Of
1887. Ho spoke in sharp terms of this
action and then directly attacked tho
policy Of tho administration.
Where has tho President Of the United
States found precedent or authority for
the most singular action which we have
seen, passing by some OF the inter-
mediate steps taken by the United
States government?
The ridiculous mantle OF secrecy
which had hidden for months tho ac-
tions of the executive, has been re-
moved, and the patchwork policy Is
fully revealed. How now appears that
sham and shoddy management, which
according to the public press;. mar
shalled the subordinate employees of tho
state department On masse in the halls
OF tho state building and administered
to the charwomen, messengers, laborers
and clerks, monstrous oath, that they
would never reveal to the outside world
a single word or thing pertaining to the
Hawaiian correspondents? 81
But by the persistence Of the repro
sentatives OF the people in Congress,
tho electric light of public scrutiny has
been turned upon q scene which until
now was only occasionally brought into
view. What scene. Personal hates
and dislikes. partisan prejudices,
charges OF unfaithtul conduct against an
honest ministers; offers to restore q
fallen monarchy upon tho ruins OF a
crushed republic; disavowals OF Ameri.
can manhood, treaChery and unfair
dealing;-all these things piled up, each
upon the other, give the liza to m
honorable record OF more than HUI.
dred years OF our national life.
