Mr.. Allen defended his action in intro
ducinR the resolution, and spoke for

engaged in peaceable project.
"Does the senator apply that to the
Army of the Commonwesl which stole
train at Butte, killed two deputy mar
shals, and whom the troops Of the
United States are now trying to cap
ture?" asked Mr.. Wolcott.
Mr., Allen refused 10 be drawn on to
this ground. He declared he was a

sioners of the District OF Columbia in
issuing q proclamation warning Coxey's
army against entering the district.

the exclusive occupancy OF Pearl riv.
harbor in the Hawaiian islands.
He proceeded to discuss at length th
subject of the ann sxetion of the islands
remarking that he had thought seriousl
OF offering a resolution requesting til
president to send back to the senate fc
its consideration and ratification th
treaty OF annexation.
80 far as we can judge from his net
sage" said Higgins, "the presiden
withdrew the treaty without ever con
sidering the problem OF the annexation
OF the islands. He rejected the treat
because hs claims that it had been oh
tanned wrongly.
I'm all his facts and all his conclusions
after careful perusal of the testimony
l believe the president is wrong, bu
clothed as he is, as chief executive G
this nation, with enormous power owe
this question, he seems to have take
this course on these marrow grounds"
