In the Senate.

Washi nqton, January 24.-In the SEN
ate today, Mr.. Lodges resolution advoca-
ting the annexa tion of the Sandwich
Islands was taken up. Mr.. George OF
Mississippi argued that the Hawaiian
govern fnent was not entitled to
be called a republic, as its con-
stitution contains certain articles not
found in the constitution OF any govern
ment that pretended to be free and re-
publican. He read clause IN the
Hawaiian constitution requiring mem
hers to possess an income of at least
5000 year, and said if the constitution
of the United States contained a similar
nroyision as to senators and mem bers,
pine-tenths of the American people
would be incompetent to serve IN Con-
gress.
Mr.. Mills of Texas stated the purpose OF
the amendment, and Will address the
Senate tom orrow on the Hawaiian ques-
ton.
The Nicaragua canal bill was taken up
and Mr.. White of California addressed
fhe Senate. He said the execution of the
work would place the United States in a
nosition that would make it stronger at
hom and would stimulate its trade and
advance the interests of civilization
throughout the entire world.
The bill was laid aside and pension
bills on the calendar were taken up and
in all 81 were passed. including the & SEN
ate bill granting pensions of $75
month to the widows of Rear Admiral
Carter. Commodore Whiting and Major
General Carroll, and $50 a month to the
widows of Lieutenant Commander
