tne galleries tnlnneu out very
rapidly.
The resolution brought forward
by Lodge was as follows:
Resolved, That the Senate heartily
approves the despatch of war ship
to the Sandwich islands on Saturday
last aud is of the opinion that an
American msn-of war should be kept
at Honolulu.
! Resolved, That prompt measures
| should be taken to construct or
| cause the construction OF subma-
rine cable from San Francisco to
Honolulu aud that no part OF the
rights and privileges secured to the
United States and the Hawaiian
Government should be- abandoned
| other Government to secure a foot
hold or lease upon any part OF the
Hawaiian Islands.
Resolved, That, in the Judgment OF
the Senate, immediate steps should
be taken to secure possession of the
Sandwich Islands by their annexa-
ton to the United States.
Lodge wanted immediate con-
sideration for the resolution, but
Blackburn spoiled the necessary
unanimous consent by saying, "Lst
it go over till tomorrow"
The Hawaiian subject was again
brought to the front by Frye, who
called up his resolution presented
Saturday, expressing the profound
regret OF the Senate at the latest
effort to restore the Queen.
Gray urged that the United States
Senate was not a missionary meet
ing to express sentimental feeling on
the aspirations of well-intentioned
people. He regarded the reports OF
the last resolution as long-winded.
He regarded the event as far less
important than the Brooklyn car
strike. He commented on the un-
warranted course of Admiral Walker
in reporting at length on political
phases in Hawaii. 1T is a serious
thing for Senator to make a state
ment implying that the President OF
the United States is sort OF a Nero
fddling while Rome burns,'" said
the speaker.
In answer to Frye, as to whether
the United States Minister at Hawaii
had not requested the presence of
warship at Honolulu, Gray quoted
Minister Willis as saying that Presi-
dent Dole had expressed satisfaction
that no foreign war ship was present
during the recent revolution.
Frye interposed the statement
that President Dole's remarks were
evidently designed to express his
satisfaction at being able to main
tain the present government without
any foreign forces being in the
islands.
Gray replied that Admiral Walker
had himself reported that the pres
ent Government could sustain itself
without outside help. He criticised
the raising of an alarm about the
presence OF the Japanese cruiser
Esmeralda in Honolulu, saying that
Lodge had evidently lost great OPP
portunities to twist the tail OF the
British lion, and was now compelled
to turn to Japan.
Among other Interruptions to
Gray was a remark by Hawley about
the Presidents action last August
in dealing with delegation OF royal
lists. Gray denied that the President
had conferred with the royalist dele
CATION.
Frye wanted immediate action, so
that message could be sent to the
Hawaiian Government by that days
steamer. Mills objected to such
speedy action, and Frye said the
resolution would then be advanced,
thenceforward, by every possible
means. Mills said that was what
they wanted, they wanted the reso-
luton fully debated.
Three sets OF resolutions ON the
Hawaiian question were to-day in
troduced in the House and referred.
The first one was by Breckenridge
CD Of Kentucky favoring annexa-
ton. The second, by Storer, calls
on the President for information
relative to the report that the rebel
lion in Honolulu was melted by
British subjects, and that the British
Minister interviewed to prevent the
application of martial law. The
third, by Breckenridge CD of Ken
lucky, calls attention to the crisis
successfully passed through during
the past week by the republics Of
France and Hawaii, and offering con-
CALCULATIONS on their ability to main
tain order and preserve peace.
The Washington Star charges that
the Presidents policy regarding Ha-
wall was formed by Spreckels before
Cleveland took Office. 1t also says:
"Not alone are the natives in the
conspiracy, but the British author
tiles seem to be in sympathy with
