 pecuniary matters"
 As MT. Davis took his seat he had
 round of applause from his republican col leagues.
 MT. Turpis then proceeded to addres
 the senate, opening with historical sketcf of the Hawaiian Islands. He spoke of tn, provisional government as an accomplished fact. It had been recognized, he said. by the American minister very shortly after i
 was proclaimed. and similar action hai been taken by the representatives of othe, foreign governments ct Honolulu. The recognition of Q government de faoto had always been accounted an act of ths gravest importance. It was an aei of ono power, supreme and sovereign respecting the existencs of another of lkt character. It could not be revised sxcsp, on the supposition of . power paramount sovereignty itself. The power of the pro the oldest established empire, monarchy ol republic in the world, but 1t could not be assumed that any government, per SC, without foreign or popular action, was au- thorized to conclude treaty whs2 it's own destruction was thereby assured or for the extinction of the nationality which it rep resented.
 Coming to Mr. Stevens' defence of his course MT. Turpis said that Mir. Stevens went on with lengthy maRniloquence to have 1t inferred that the two days of inter regunum were @ very extraordinary thing. Such was not the fact. Commenting on Nr. Stevens' statement that he had sent the marines to Honolulu in order to pre- serve peace and public order, MT. Turpie asked whether the United States was charged with the duty of keeping the peace and preserving the public order in all countries where 1t had diplomatic repre-. sentstives. There was no rule of interna- tional law. he said, which justified or re- Quired such an intervention by any foreign minister of which recog- nizsd the existence of such policy. The Hawaiian monarchy had ceased to be, for the reason (smong othere) that the American minister had engaged to support, and did support the revolt against 1t with the forces of the United States. The in- quiry a to whether the new government would have succeeded without that aid was beside the question. The interference had occurred, and the best disclaimer, the most absolute disavowal of 1t, was the rejection of the proposal fer any further or closer connection with Hawaii.
 'tLet the new government" Mr. Turpie DoAuS hOWoVo1 Ao1AACu, pkOooo0 All Atn Ch- reer. Intervention against 1t would be, at this time, as unlawful as intervention in its favor was when it occurred"
 Referring to Ar. Stevens frequent sl- lusions to the queen of Hawaii as the 'fallen queen," the "justly dethroned queen," the 'lste immoral occupant of the and 'the queen and her para mour," MT. Turpie assumed much indigna- tion of manner. Were those, he asked, phrases of official correspondence, or was that the polished language of diplomacy2 2 Had the fact that MT. Stevens, when he used them, had ceased to be @ diplomat placed him beyond the pale of manly civil ity and of those amenities becoming one who had been in such . high and gracious station9 Was 1t necessary for any purpose of state or of the provisional government that MT. Stevens should reour, with coarse and callous iteration to the misfortunes of the dethroned queen, or that he should as- sail the listening ears of Christendom with his story of the frsilty of the fallen, who had been his hostess for many monthsi
 No inference, MT. Turpie declared, need be resorted to for just estimation of ths who indited despstches of that fashion and tenor. The officials character wss self, depicted, self-desoribed. Who would attempt to touch, to mar or to amend that fnll-length, faultless portrait of the international spy, ingrate and out in all the dark profusion of it's own hues. MT. Turpie told the story of the Greek peasant stung to death by the serpent which he had picked up stark and frozen and placed before his fire until 1t revived. And, he said, when the wife and children looked for the author of the fatal mischief "the reptile had crept away"
 MT. Turpie concluded with the state ment that the United States cannot at this time consider favorably either the treaty or the project of annexation. The United States could not afford to incur the suspic- ion of pro6ting by public wrong 30 ab- horrent to the principles of justice. No matter how desirable the acq quisition of Ha- wsiian islands might be, that acquisition would have to be attained In g different manner. When we desire to enlarge our national domain he said by the acquisition of territory in the Hawaiian islands or else where 1t must come to us in the open hand with the palm clean, ,pure, untainted. Or if 1t does not come and is taken it will be taken by the strong arm, with sword drawn, in the eye of day, as prize of war waged against the public enemy. Then shall the flag of the republic float ss oft before in pride and glory, over many 6 stricken field, won in the battle for the just-for the just, the free and the bravs." Demo- cratic applause.
 No action was taken either on MT. Frye's resolution nor on MT. Turpie's. After short executive session the senate sd- journed.
