THE SENATE WITH Us.
\ FAVORABLE RESOLUTION Is RE
PQRTED.
No Interference with the Provisional
Government and No Foreign
Intervention,

WASHINGTON. January ?3.-The Sen. |
ate Committee on Foreign Relations re
ported favorably the following resolu. |
tiun:
Resolred. From the facts and papers
laid before the Senate it is unwlse ana |
inexpedient. under the existing condl |
tious. to consider at this time any pro
iect for the annexation of the Hawallan
islands to the United States; that the
Provisional Government therein having
been duly recognized, the highest inter
national interest requires 1t snail pursue
its own line of policy. Foreign interVen-
ton in the political affairs OF these ISL
auds would be regarded as an act I'M
friendly to the Government of the
United States.
Turue. who reported the resolution on
behalf of the committee, said he was dl-
rected by the committee to ask its inn
mediate consideration, as it was the
unanimous expression of the committee
EXCEPT the dissent of Senator Dolph to
the first clause.
Turpie further explained that the reso-
luton had no relation to the special IN
vestigation being made by the commit
tee.
Cullom addressed the Senate on the
resolution, Chandler yielding the floor
for that purpose.
CulIom savagelv attacked the policy
of the Administration in the Hawaiian
matter. He said that abundant testi-
mony had been furnished to Controvert
the assumed theory of the President and
Secretary of State that the revolution
was melted and fostered by Minister
Stevens and Captain Wlltse, but, in any
rla,ralap1 fpnp1 the Government
established and in full possession, recog-
nized by the world.
Cullom compared Blount's crafty acts
rs a spy i'll Honolulu to the employment
uf Major Andre by the British Govern
ment in revolutionary times, and said
that Blount deserved Andres fate.
The country has reached the conclu-
sion that the President and Cabinet,
with all their newfangled paramounts
and cipher dispatches, are merely tin
clad actors in stupendous comedy OF
errors"
Teller objected to immediate action on
the ground that the resolution had not
been printed, and Mills gave notice that
when it came up Tor consideration 1T
would ask fur Il division OF the ques-
ton.
SO the resolution went over under the
rules.
To-day's addition to the Hawaiian
resolutions i'm the House was the follow
ing, presented by Sweet (R) OF Idaho:
WHEREAS, An effort is now being
made to establish a republic in the Ha'
waiian Islands, and
WHEREAS, Conflicting reports are
in circulation as to the policy OF the
United States with relation thereto
therefore,
Resoired, That the United States
hereby extends to the struggling repre-
scntatives of the said Islands its sincere
sympathy with their efforts to eXtenC
the principles OF tree Government.
