WASHINGTON, FeO. S.-The indications
were when the house met that a Demo
! cratic quorum would be secured to pass
the McCreary resolu tion condemning
Minister Stevens, approving the course
of Mr.. Cleveland, and declaring against
the annexation of, or the assumption of
a protectorate over the Hawaiian islands.
immediately after the reading of the
journal, Mr.. Breckenridge, from the
committee on appropriations reported
an urgent deficiency bill, and gave no
tice that he would call it up in the
morning.
Mr.. Patterson of the committee on
elections gave notice that he would call
up on the O'Neill-Joy contested election
case On Monday.
Mr.. McCreary her called up his
Hawaiian resolution. Mr.. Reed, pur-
suing fhbustering tactics, made the
point or order that when the house
adjourned Tuesday night it adjourned
pending proceedings to enforce the at
tend nee Of absentees. He contended
that the proceedings under the call did
not terminate with adjournment, and
that the only thing in order was the re-
Tort of the serSeant-at-arms, or, if the
chair held that all proceedings were ter
minated by adjournment, it also vacated
the order revokinG leaves of absence and
i%nstructing the sergeant-at-arms to tele-
graph for absentees. II the latter
order were carried out then the
sergeant alarms had exceeded his
authority in carrying out the orders and
his actions should be examined. He
offered the speaker either horn Of the
dilemma. The speaker overruled the
point of order, holding that while all
proceedings under the call terminated
with adjournment, the order revoking
leaves OF absence executed itself.
The roll was then called on the adop-
ton of the McCreary resolution. The
Republicans sat silent in their seats. If
the resolution were to be passed they re-
solved that the Democrats should pro-
duce their w quorum. The vote on
the first roll call was ia to $40
quorum.
When the vote was announced, Mr.
Springer raised the point of order that
there were four vacant seats in the
house-177 instead of 179 should consti-
tutc a quorum.
After some debate the point of orde,
was sustained. and the McCreary Ha.
waiian resolution was declared passed.
The McGreary resolution Censures
Minister Stevens course, approves the
presidents principle that American in.
reference in Hawaii is contrary to GU
institutions and prouounces against an
, nexatiOn or a protectorate.
J Took Another Vote.
:. BY unanimous consent it was decided
in the house to have another roll call OF
the adoption of the McCreary Hawaiia,
