Rss1lred. From the facts and papers laid he,
fore the senate that u Is unwlse and ineNpedl
ont under existing conditions AI this time thai
ans project for annexation OF the Hawaiian Isl
ands to the United states bc considered, that
the provisional roytTamcnt therein having been
duly recognized, the highest International inIer.

aud that fure,gu interNcDtlons IN the political
affairs NJ thcs" Islands would be REGARDED aS ~
aeI nntr.endly on the part OF The government 0f

Turpie, who reported the resolution Ia

rccted by the committee to aSk immediate
consideration, as 1t was the unanimous
expression of the committee, except tho
dissent of senator Dolph 10 the first
clause. Turpio further explained that

marks, Cullom asked unanimous consent
10 take up the resolution OF Frye declar-
ing against interference IN Hawaiian AZ
fairs. Chandler was quito willing 10 ea.
tend his time TO Cullom for that purpose
and allow tho election bill to 20 over. "ln
fact,n said he, II will make even u
broader proposition 10 the soaator from
Delaware Gray. would suggest that
the bill repeating the election laws he al.
lowed to go over until tho first Of DeceUi'
Der next, in the absence of any recon-
mendation by the president OF the United
States that this bill should pass" Laugh
teri.
Il am very loath," said Gray, ito wound
the tender relations which exist between
the senator from New Hampshire aud the
president, but still, without regarding
these relations which compel senator to
the executive, must insist that the bill
be considered now" laughter.
Chandler then yielded 20 Cullom and
tho elections bill being temporarily laid
aside, the Illinois senator addressed the
senate OH Frye's Hawaiian resolution Of
non.interference.
Cullom savagely attacked the policy OF
the administration in the Hawaiian mat
ter. Abundant testimony had been fur
nshed TO controyert the assumed theory
OF the president and secretary OF state
| that the revolution was melted and fos'
tered by Minister Stevens and Captain
| Willie. But in any case, Cleveland found
| a government established aud in full pos
session, recognized by the world. Cullon
compared Blouut's crafty acts as a spy in
| Honolulu 10 the employment of Major
Andre by the British government in rcvo
lutlonary times. aud said Blount deserved
Andres fate. Tho country has reached
tho conclusion that tho president and the
cabinet. with all their new-fangled para
mounts and cipher dispatches, are merely
tiu-clad actors ia stupendous Comedy o.
Errors.
At the conclusion of Cullom's remark.
a resolution presented by Doiph wa.

municaie 10 tho senate any correspon
dence EXCHANGED between the govornmen
