the appointment Of Mr Rlount as COM
misslonor 20 Hawaii without the advice
and consent of the Senate was laid be-
fore the Senate.
Mr.. Vest moved to lay the resolution
on the table. stating that the whole matter
touching affairs in Hawaii was now un-
dcrg0ing Investigation 10y the Committee
on Foreign Relations.
Mr. Sherman took the sarle view Of the
question and suggested that n would be
disrcspoctfF 20 the Committee on Foreign
Relations % have another committee in
stucted 10 inquire into the same matter.
In view Of these considerations, Air
Chandler withdrew his resolution.
MIR. Gray gave notice that he would
al =. NJ. ask the Senate TO proceed
TO the consideration OF the House bill
repeating the Federal election laws.
Mr. Chandler remarked that no sena-
tor ON the Republican side was prepared
10 speak to-day, and asked Mr. Gray
20 let the bin 90 over until Monday.
SIR. Gray did not feel justified in ac-
ceding 70 that request but said that be-
had no intention 10 press the bill unduly
% a final conclusion.
Several bills on the calendar. OF no
general Interest. were passed. and then,
at 1880. the Senate went into secret
session.
The doors were reopened at 2:2) o'clock.
and the Senate. on motion Of Mr.. Gray.
proceeded 10 The consideration Of the
House bill 90 repeal the Federal election
laws. AR. Chandler said that some sena-
tors Oh his side of the chamber desired 10
speak ON the bill bur that none of them
would probably be ready TO do 80 before
next week. He therefore suggested TO Mr..
Gray that the bill should go over until
Monday. and then come up as the un-
finished business
This was agreed 90 ser colloquy
between Messrs Gray ana Chandler.
which made DO clear that Mr.. Gray had
no intention of pressing the bill 10 "A vote
by any unusual methods. but he desired
that the Senate should consider il in its
ordinary way. reasonably and continuously
until an end is reached.
The further consideration of the bill was
thereup0n postponed until Monday next,
when IL is 90 he and 90 remain Oinless
displaced by some other measurc) the
unfinished business"
The Senate az 2.35 P H.. adjourned till
tomorrow.
