before the Senate, it is unwise and
ineXpedient, under existing conditions,
to consider at this time any project

TO the United States; that the provisional
government therein having been duly
recognized, the highest international inter-
ests require that II shall pursue its own
line OF policy; foreign Intervention in the
political affairs of the islands viii be re-
garded as an act unfriendly to the gov-
ernment of the United States"

In charge OF the bill, that the bill should
be allowed to go over till the first Monday

book, and to have them again tested az
| the next congressional election.
Mr.. Gray said that he was unwilling to
wound the very tender feeling appearing
TO exist between the Senator from New
