THE HAWAIIAN INVESTIGATION
The Testimony Will Not Be Made Pub
lio Until the Committee Reports.
Senator Morgan Drawing Up the
Views of the Majority-A Possi-
bility of Three Reports.

1t Is understood that the testimony taken
before the Senate committee on foreign re-
lations on the Hawaiian question will all
be printed in a few days, but that 1t will
not be made public until the committee
makes Its report to the Senate, as the re-
port will quote quite largely from the testi-
mony.
Senator Morgan's Position.
There is some speculation as 70 what the
nature of the report will be, but there is no
indication of its general tenor, except that
the position of Senator Morgan was well
known before the first publication of Sec
retary Gresham's letter to Mr. Cleveland
outlining the policy which has since been
carried out. 1t is understood that Mr.. Nor
gan is drafting report which will be made
the majority report, whether 1t is agreed to
by the democrats or not as in case it does
not meet with their views 1t will probably
be supported by the republican members of
the committee This is understood to be the
possibility, unless the matter should be
made party issue as has been the case In
the House.
Possibility of Three Reports.
There is also said to be a possibility of
two or three reports, one by the republicans,
another by the friends of the administra-
ton on the committee and still another by
Senator Morgan and some member of the
committee who may decide with him to
take a middle course, neither severely criti-
cising the present administration nor criti-
clsing the last administrat ton as has been
done in the House resolution
The meetings of the committee have been
closely guarded during the investigation
ana every effort made to have its proceed
lngs remain secret, and the same course will
no doubt be taken in regard to the prepara-
tion of the report.
commander NicOll Ludlow of the navy
was calied before the Senate Hawaiian in

pose OF adding some general informa ton
concerning the islands.
MT Ludlow was not on the islands at
the time OF the revolution, but from long
service on the Pacific he was able to throw
hight on many questions concerning the
commercial value of the islands and their
population. The committee decided to cali

A most interesting debate followed. Il
venture to suggest" said Mr.. Cochran,
that If a quorum is not an arbitrary num-
Der such a decision might lead to a ridicu-
lous condition of affairs here. If only three
members were elected, for instance, two
would then constitute a quorum. This is
matter of great gravity. The English
house of commons has fixed membership
of forty members. II the membership of
this House is not a fixed quantity. then
the importance of a member here is a
shifting quantity. If We have a full house
he is 1-119th of quorum.
