WASHINGTON, May 24.-At the opening
of the session Of the senate today Mr..
Kyle urged the passage of his Hawaiian
resolution. arguing it was not the pur-
pose OF the United States to use force to
restore Liliuokalani as queen OF the Ha-
waiian islanls. and that any foreign in
reference with these islands would be
regarded as an act OF hostility to the
United States.
Mr.. Daniel OF Virginia objected to &C.
ton on the resolution until the resolu-
ton on the same subject reported by the
foreign affairs committee had first been
acted upon.
Mr.. Frye advocated the passage OF this
or q similar resolution, saying he mad
information from responsible persons
that the moment the senate acted the
queen would resign all pretense to the
throne and accept money consdtra-
ton therefor. This being the condition
on the island, he appealed to the senate
in the name OF humanity to pass the
resolution.
At this point the morning hour ex-
pired, and the resolution went over.
The tariff bill was taken up.
Mr.. Hale (Rep., Mainel led off with
sarcastic comment on Mr.. Germans
speech OF yesterday, saying the senator
from Maryland had emerged from his
seclosion just at the time when his
party stood dscredited, its ranks broken,
it's coherency of action lost, an indig-
nant people showing their distrust, the
newspapers piling up denuncistion after
denunciation, and with panic i'm
minent on his own side of the cham Der.
The bill as it now stood, Mr.. Hale
said, had no responsible parents. 1t
was a political bastard. 1t was the re-
suit of the intercourse of those who
had abandoned party principle, with
the easy virtue OF few protected in
dustries and the habitual prostitution OF
the trusts. 1t had it's origin in the back
room of New York office.
The Aldrich amendment to increase
the duty on tin plate to Il cent per
pound was laid on the table-36 to 26.
The Jones' tin plate amendment was
cents, as was also the Jones' amend
ment grading the duty on steel ingots,
blooms, etc., according to size, value, etc.
The surprise of the day was the &C
ceptance by the finance committee of an
amendm ent offered by Mr.. Allen Pop
ulist, Nebrasks) to place barbed wire on
the free list. Several Repu blicans OPP
posed it, but did not carry their opposi-
ton to the extent of demanding a
record-msking vote upon it, and the
intimation from Hosr that barbed wire
was to be the price Of Mr.. Aliens vote
for the tariff bill was Indignantly denied
Mr.. Powers amendment to include
other classes of fence wire was defeated.
The following rates were adopted:
Anchors, lie per pound; axles, 11ac
per pound; anvils, 134c; blacksmiths'
teols, 11ac; boiler tubes, lac; bolts,
11ac; cast iron pipe. lie; cast iron ves-
sells, stove plates, etc., S-10c; malleable
