position from the Democratic side devel.
opcd than was al one time anticipated.
Only one speech-that OF General Sickles of
New Nork-was made in opposition TO the i
adoption Of the resolution, although there
was some passive opposition on tie Demo /
cratic side as indicated 10y the refusal Of /
several OF the Democrats to answer TO their
names when the resolution was placed upon /
its passage.
The McCreary resolution was as follows; /
Resolved, First-That Il Is the sense OF this /
house that the action Of the United States min |
lister In employing United States naval forces /
and illegally aiding iu overthrOwing The consu- |
| tutonal government OF the Hawaiian Islands |
| in January. 1895, and setting up in its place a
| provisional government not republican in form
and In opposition TO the viii Of "a majority OF |
| the people, was contrary TO the traditions Of
our republic and the spirit OF our constitution. |
and 10 should be aud is condemned.
| second-That we heartily approve the prin-
Il ciple announced by the president OF the United
/ States that interference with the domestic al-
fairs of an independent nation is contrary to
| the spirit Of American institutions. II Is fur
| ther the sense Of this house that the annexa-
| tion OF the Hawaiian Islands 10 our country or
| the assumption Of a protectorate over them by
/ our government Is uncalled for and lneXpedl.
| ent; that the people OF that country should
have absolute freedom and independence In
| pursuing their own line Of policy. and that for
eign Intervention Ia the political affairs of the
islands will not be regarded with indifference
by the government Of the United States
The Minority Substitute.
The minority resolution, offered a. a
substitute for the McCreary resolution,
was As follows:
Whereas. Executive communications 10 con-
gress disclose that the executive department
has instructed minister plenipotentiary Of
the United states to conspire with deposed
and discarded monarch for the overthrow Of
| friendly republican government TO which said
minister was accredited, duly recognized by
all the civilized nations and TO which his public
instructions pledged the good faith and sympa-
thy of the president the government and the
| people OF the United States;
Resolved. That il Is the sense Of this house
that any such Intervention by the executive OF
the nited states. its civil OF military repre-
| sentatives or officers. without authority of con-
press. is a dangerous and unwarranted inya-
sion of the rights and dignities Of the congress
of the United States and a violation of the law
OF nations and, further. that the manner Of
such attempted Intervention by the executive
| and the methods used are unworthy of the ex.
ecutive department of the United States, while
the confessed intent Of such Intervention T.
contrary 10 the policy and traditions of the re-
public and the spirit OF the constitution.
TO the last resolution Mr.. Blair offered a
substitute approving the recognition Of
the provisional government by both adj
} ministrations aud declaring for anneXa-
tion. The Hit substitute, the Blair amend
ment and the motion made by Mr. Reed TO
recommit the resolution were in turn voted
down.
When the vote came to be taken upon
the main question, howeyer-the adoption
of the entire resolution-the Republicans
refrained from voting, and the Democrats
lacked II Of a quorum. AR Cummings OF
Z New York voted for Mr. Reeds motion tC
= recommit the resolution, and Mr.. Sickles
voted against the McCreary resolution
Mr. Cummings Of New York, Mr.. Geary
=, Of California and Mr.. Cockrell of Texas re
" fused to 90 on record either for or against
the adoption Of the resolution. These were
all the indications shown Of a break in
J party lines on the Hawaiian matter

I Republicans. Mr.. Broderick of Kansas

q When the Democrats found themselve,
e without a quorum, they passed a resolu

}, adjourned. They expect TO have quorum
u present when the house meets today.
