Yesterdays Debate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-In the senate to-
day Lodge offered resolution declaring
that the UnucI States should keep war
sh p at the Sandwich islands; that meas
ures should be taken for the construction
of a cable from san Francisco to Honolulu,
and for the annexa tion of the Sandwich
islands to the United States. Blackburn
objected TO the present consideration of
tho resolution and it went over.
The Hawaiian subject was again
brought to the front by Frye, who called
up his resolution, presented Saturday, ex-
pressing the profound regret of the senate
at the latest effort to restore the queen.
Mr.. Gray urged that the United States
senate was not missionary meeting to
express sentimental feeling on the aspira-
tions of well intentione1 people.
GRAY DEFENDS CLEVELAND.
ut is a serious thing for a senator to
make n statement implying that the pres
ideut of the United .ates is a sort of
Nero flddlIng while Rome burns de-
clared Gray. Frye asked If the United
States minister at Hawaii requested tho
presence of warship at Honolulu. Gray
said that he had no information on this
point, but he read from Mr. Willis official
dispatch to Secretary Gresham, received
Saturday, stating that President Dole had
expressed satisfaction that no foreign
warshlp was present during the re-
volt. Frye interposed statement that
President Doie's remarks were evidently
designed to express his satisfaction at be-
ing able 10 maintain the present govern
ment without any foreign forces being in
the islands. MIR. Gray urged that Admiral
Walker, "who was certainly a swift wit
ness for this oligarchy," had himself re-
ported that the present government could
sustain itself without outside help.
CHANDLER ROASTED.
Chandler asked as to the movements of
the Philadelphia and Charleston. He re-
marked that Gray was generally regarded
as fully qualified to speak for the admin
istration. This evidently nettled Gray,
| who suggested that, If tho senator would
| call at the executive mansion, no would
undoubtedly receive such information as
| he desired. He, Gray, made no claims to
executive information. The senator from
New Hampshire having once been secre-
tary of the navy, perhaps shared in this
spirit for conquest and ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
FRYE soUELcHED.
Frye said that he desired action. He
had hoped on Saturday to cable the young
| Hawaiian republic that the American peo-
] ple-who made and unmade presidents;
who made and unmade secretaries os
staIe-were profoundly in sympathy with
| her struggles. lie had hoped that some
thing would go by the vessel leaving San
Francisco to-day. He asked an immedi-
ate vote. Mills objected to such speedy
| action.
"Then l give notice" said Frye, that
| the resolution will be advanced by every
possible means from this time forward"
That is what we want" said Mills.
ave want the resolution fully debated" !"
Frye said that he would call up the
Hawaiian resolution tom Drrow, and he
concluded, in response to Chandler's sug-
gestion that the resolution might lose its
place, ave will then be strong enough to
| take il up"
