/ Senate committee which had been invesn-
eating the whole matter and which would
/ be published In few days. would be far
I different from the statements which are
T now 50 positively asserted. The eNaIni-
nation on which these statements were
based was conducted on the line pursued
~ criminal lawyer. and the statements
P were purely ex parte. If there was any
man unit TO be quoted. II was the man
Who had made that so-called investigd-

We should go for instructions touching
the matter Of Interference. Gpplause)
/ The previous speaker had rallied against
annexation. but how did we know what
would be the opinion i'm the White House
. There had been no statement by Mr..

be used solely for the protection VI life

| He closed by paying high tribute 10
| the courage and perseverance of the
| Americans In Hawaii. whose great sin
! was thar blind love for America and for
| free institutions "And when the men Of
| these islands found that the policy Of
