article of some peculiar disclosures
likely early to come as to certain New
England senator's" proceeded Mr.. Frye.
The names of Frye and Boutelle and
think Senators Lodge and Hawley are
used with SUCH suggestive absence and
mixture of given names as to avoid
direct charge. So far as the Frye
family of Maine, is concerned, there is
out one that know of, and [ belong to
Mr.. Frye had moved out into the
ml0dle aisle and was directly address
sESIg the Democratic senators.
Perhaps" he continued, slowly and
with calling bitterness, perhaps some
Democratic senator will present ME
letter that 1 am the one who has 7e-
celVed Hawaiian bonds in consideration
Of my action here
\ Dramatic Scene.
At this point came the most dramatic
event in the senator's speech. He read
from the report of Mr.. Mills speech
wherein the latter suggested that it
would be we'll to have a senatorial in
vesdgation OF these charges against
New England and other senators.
Il had hoped the senator who made
that suggestion would be here. 1 wish
he were in the Senate now
Then, raising his voice until it rang
through the chamber, he added:
But now charge in the absence Of
the senator-I make the charge so he
will read it in the Record-that he
conveyed this information to the New
York correspondent that he is himself
the Democratic senator who has the
| letter"
There was intense stiffness through
the chamber.
1.-THE absence of this senator pre-
vents me from saying more. 1 will say
the rest in his presence. expect him
to say to the Senate whether he gave
this information to the correspondent,
whether ne has any information as TO
! New Englands senators having
Hawaiian bond interests
Mr.. Frye declared that the only in
debted pess of the Hawaiian govern
ment held outside OF Hawaii was ST.
100000 of bonds held in England, which
command 1.03, and which the people
Of Hawaii have tried in vain to get
| back So as to hold them themselves.
| Mr. Frye then returned to the per-
! sonal question between himself and
Mr.. Mills, who had returned to the
chamber.
Mills Denies 1t.
Mr.. Mills denied, in reply to one Of
| these questions, that he had given the
| Information on which the New York
newspaper article was founded, or
that he had any such information in
! his possession until he saw the same
story published, upon which statement
the Maine senator said he would with
] draw the charge he had previously
made in the absence OF Mr.. Mills.
| Mr. Frye then demanded to know
whether Mr.. Mills was correctly re
ported In suggesting an investigation
in view of the charge that Mr.. Frye
had bought Hawaiian bonds at % cents
on the dollar and was an anneXationist
for the purpose of enhancing their
value, TO which Mr.. Mills replied:
ST think [ did say something Of that
kind, but 1 said it in a spiriG of play
fitness. I surely should not thought
of charging him with anything so sor-
did and mean
Replying to this, Mr.. Frye said he
| had supposed he and Mr.. Mills had
known each other long enough for
each to know whether the other would
steal, and that dropped The contro-
versy, and the vote was taken on the
Vest substitute amendment, which re-
suited in its adoption by a vote of q
10 %, the vote being as follows:
Yeas-Bate. Blackburn. Blanchard,
Caffrey, Butler, Call, CockreH, George,
Gibson, Gray, Harris, Huntoon, Troy,
Jones arkansas, Lindsay Martin,
Mills, Pascoe. Petdgrew, Ransom. Tur-

chard, Proctor, Sherman Stewart, Tel
Ter and Wolcott. Total. %.
The morning hour having expired
the Hawaiian question was laid aside.
The Bankruptcy Bill.
Unanimous consent was given that
the bankruptcy bill should be the un'
finished business until action was Sc
cured.
AT 5 O'Clock, the Senate heard eulo
gies on the late Representative Char-e:
