CONTEMPLATING HAWAII.
A Resolution Finally Adopted by the
= House Foreign COMMITTEES.

After spirited session of the House
committee on foreign affairs today a con-
gratulatCry resolution from the United
States to the new republic of Hawaii was
adopted. and II will be presented to the
House for adoption at the earliest oppor-
tunity. The resolution is follows: Joint
resolution eongratulating the republic of
Hawaii.
Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, that the
United States of America congratulate the
republic of Hawaii on the peaceful assump-
ton of the powers. duties and responsible
ties OF self-government as indicated by the
recent adoption of republican form or
government"
The discussion of the resolution brought
out q renewal of sharp criticism from re-
publican members as TO this latest phase OF
the Hawaiian question.
c lairman McCreary proposed the resolu-
ton in lieu of the one submitted by MIR.
Boutelie OF Maine
MIR. Hit. republican. pointed out that the
McCreary substitute was identical to the
first part Of the Boutelle resolution except
that the word 'just" was omitted. and
people" was changed to republic
Mr.. Hit said the omission OF the word
Just" was evidently designed to give a
further slight to the republic. The Bou-
tcllC resolution had been published far ana
wide, he said. and its wording was con-
gratulatory to Hawaii for the lust ana
peaceful assumption of republican form
Of government. But now the word Just
was stricken out, showing conspicuousiy
the desire to damn Hawaii with faint
praise. and to indirectly reassert that the
republic was founded through injustice.
Representative Everett of Massachusetts
said he was not yet satisfied that the change
in Hawaii was q Just ore. 1t was suggested
in reply that CONGRATULATIONS for an act
that was not just would be homogeneous.
Mr.. Hit moved 10 reinsert the word
Just" This was defeated by a strict party
vote-5 to 3. Mr.. McCreary then explained
that the latter part OF the Boutelle resolu-
ton was unnecessary. It directed the Pres
ident to recognize Hawaii but this had al
ready been done 1t indorse1 the existing
recip' Getty treaty, but this was a question
open to debate. and was more properly a
treaty question for the Senate.
With this explanation the McCreary sub
stitute was unanimously adopted by a vote
of to nothing.
MIR. McCreary says he will ask unanimous
consent to pass the resolution at once, and
he has no doubt of its speedy passage.

TO INSPECT THE BOOKS,
The Committee Will lie Given Ever,
Reasonable Assistance

The committee of the aggrieved policy
holders in the Beneficial Association have
held no meeting today and have done
nothing in the case except as individuals.
Mr.. Myers, the secretary, said this after
noon that the committee might hold a
meeting before night at the call of the
chairman. 1t is expected, if such a meet
ing should be held. that Mr.. Gardner will
be present and will have something to say
on his side of the case. Mr.. Edison had a
conference with him last evening and
this is likely to be one of it's results
The suggestion that the books of the as
ISOLATION should be turned over to the COM
mittee to aid them as far as possible in get
ting at the bottom of the misunderstanding
has met with q favorable reception from the
officers of the company. AS soon as the
committee see fit to formally apply for per
mission to inspect the books the privilege
will be undoubtedly granted and they will
be given every reasonable assistance at the
hands of the association.
