At the conclusion of McCreary's speech
Blair offered an amendment to the Nc
Creary resolution, as follows:
"ResotUed, That the House of Repre-
sentatives approves the recognition of
the existing Provisional Government in
the Hawaiian Islands by the last and
present Administrations. and Will view
with satisfaction the maintenance OF
policy which will tend to consummate IN
the near future, with the consent of the
people, the annexation OF the islands to
this country, or some other political ar
rangement which will fully preserve and
promote mutual interests of Hawaii and
the United States"
Hit, the leader of the Republican mi
nority Of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
replied to McCreary. Hit made a point
that the majority resolution was dis
cussion of dead issue, while the propo-
sition of the minority Vi as considered one
OF the live, vital questions which every
one recognizes in connection with recent
affairs in Hawaii. The attitude of the
Administration on the great question of
annexation was not yet known. Hit
spoke of the strength OF the Provisional
Government, which had maintained itself
even as against meddling agents of the
United States, and yet the present Adj
minlstration had attempted hara-lliri in

"Our intervention was to restore to the
throne Queen whose horrid character

Queen intended to celebrate her return to

der, and has performed the loathsome
duty assigned him. His dispatches show
how his innate ecency rebelled against
the performance of such task"
Hit pictured the condition of affairs
during the reign of terror existing up TO
the time Willis purposes were disclosed.
Hit concluded with most terrific ar
raignment of Cleveland. He said: "Think
OF it;think Of it. While he had in hand that
letter from Willis reciting the story of that
brutal interview with the Queen, in which
she demanded a holocaust of property
and the slaughter Of American citizens,
he sent out still another order to over
throw the republican form Of govern
ment and put back that wretch in power"
Republican applause.
Willis instructions amounted to this
Go find that woman, whose vice, folly
and extravaganza was checked by the
people last January; tell her of the deter
mination OF the President to restore her;
ask for amnesty for the revolutionists.
and then go to the Provisional Govern
ment and get it to relinqaish its power
That was the programme, and all there
was of it, but the best laid plans Of mice
and men gang aft agley.' Republican
applause This romantic Queen of the
beautiful isles is not what has been pict-
ured. Willis found her monster incar-
nate, and Cleveland has been censured
more for not giving public that letter of
November 10Th, which would have given
her true character to the world, than for
all else in connection with this disgrace
ful proceeding"
Hitt concluded the first portion of bis
speech this evening with splendid trIb-
ute 10 the brave and resolute men of his
own race in charge of the Provisional
Government, who, when called upon to
surrender in the name of the United
States, instead of making terms, piled up
sandbags, proceeded to arm themselves,
and prepared to die, If necessary, rather
than forfeit the properly they had earned
and surrender the rights given them by
God.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE.
WAsHINGT GToN, Feb. 2.-The day in the
Senate was not an eventful one. After an
hours debate resolution by PETER was
adopted calling upon the Secretary of the
Treasury for the names and corporations
bidding for United States bonds, and the
amount of the bids and rate of interest.
The original resolution of Stewart, deny
ing the authority of the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue bonds, was taken up
and consumed the remainder of the day,
Villas making the principal argument in
opposition to the resolution.
Speaking on the Stewart resolution,
Villas complained that it's introduction
had been delayed until the last hour,
when it came as a blow at the public
credit. He argued that the Resumption
Act not only required the Secretary of
the Treasury to be ready in the first in
stance to redeem greenbacks, but to be
thereafter always ready to redeem them.
The redeemaDility and convertibility of
greenbacks was to be ever continuing
and never ceaslng.
At 4:15 the Clerk of the House appeared
with the tariff bill. and Villas suspended
until it was duly reported to the Senate.
BY request of Voorhees, it was laid before
the Senate and referred to the Finance
Committee, with an order that 1000
copies be printed for the use of the Sen
ate.
Hoar followed Villas, and declared that
there was nowhere entertained any more
probability that within the next six
months, or within any reasonable time,
there will be any necessity for any more
money in the Treasury for the purpose of
redemption than there is that there will
be a war with the Australian possessions
of Great Britain. 1t is well known that
if any money is gained from the sale of
bonds it is the purpose to put 1t in the
Treasury with one hand, and take it out
with the other hand to pay current ex-
penseS. The Secretary is not borrowing
it for the purpose of redemption, and that
proposition is too ridiculous tor discus
sion.
The resolution, on the request of Tel
Ter. went over until Wednesday, and the
