interested listener to the severe arragn-
ment of the government represented by

1t was part of the great sugar
OligarChy. This was the Oiigarchy APP
pealing to the United States for SYM
pathy ana support. Mr.. Mills asked why
Republican administration had set I'D
d barbdrouS king on the. throne OF Sa-
mOa.
"Who designated this king?' said Mr..
Mills. 1t was Emperor William of Ger
mauy, Queen Victoria of England and
Benjamin Harrison OF the United
States"
Nj. Mills read from the New York
Evening Post to the effect that Hawai-
ian bonds were being h0ated in New
England. There was 4 spirited cOntrO-
veray between Mr.. Aldrch and Mi.
Mills as the former rose to ask what
authority the Texas senator had for the
assertion he had made that New Eng
land corporations were among those
greediiy oIblng Hawaiian sugar
lands.
The sugar trust OWES the lands and
New England owns 10000 shares OF that
stock" declared MIR. Mills. He read in
detail The investments of Claus Spreck-
els and others in Hawaii. Ike senator
said there must be something behind
this great tiutter' on tie part of the
New England senator's in behalf Of
Hawaii.

''that patriotism directs the course of
the New England senators as it does
nine-tenths Of the American people,"
And when did you receive returns
from the American neOple?' asked MI.
Mills.
"At the last election. " responded Mr..
Aldrich. The gallery broke out in APP
plause at this answer, ana the presiding
officer raped sharply for order.

ALSO" retUrted Alr. Mills.

shown why this resolution. Intended as
censure on the president, should not
pass. Throughout tie speech of MI.
Mills the galleries were well filed. and
he was followed with greater interest
than has attended any previous Ha-
waiian speech. MIR. Vest then intro
