irr resolution that does not touch upon
the most important points In the Hawaiian
eontroversy and when tho Republicans refer
in their speech to the Presidents interference
the cuckoos beg tho question by attacking tho
general policy OF annexation. The great ma
lcrity Of Democrats utterly repudate the Pres
DENTS policy even though most OF them will
feel called upon to vote for the whitewashing
resolution. Even Gen. Black who was Presi-
dent ClevelRnd's old Commissioner OF Pen

ian speech to-day. in spite OF the fact that he
Is legally physical wreck. skated over tho
restoration part OF the Adm inistration policy.
Perhaps for the reason that when it was first
announced he condemned 1t in q public inter-
view. Instrumentation and non-interference
are the points upon which the Democrats in

the Republican leaders In the House to force
the Democrats to show a quorum tomorrow

Feed said this evening that he thought the
Democrats should be made to pass the reso-
lutions without any assistance from the Re-

Democrats shall muster = quorum IL they wish
to endorse the policy Of the Administration.
