"Then," said Frye. "let us proceed to
the consideration OF the first. will
modify the resolution accordingly"
Caffery. democrat OF Louisisns) rose
at this point. 'Is this not rather pre-
mature? ?" he asked. 1--WE are NOS yet
informed as to the facts on which the
resolution ia predicated. The press re-
ports tell us this morning there has been
an uprising in the Hawaiian islands,
but whether there has been an effort 10
restore the queen to her throne do not
know. ask the senator from Maine to
tell Us if he has any Information on that
point"
FRYEs INDIGNATION.
FRYE was again on his feet. II must
say," he proceeded, that since have
read the morning papers that the secre-
tary of state says that he can take no
action until he receives official commu-
nication as to the outbreak. that while
the secretary OF the navy can ord er war
ships to those islands, he would not act
until so requested by the secretary OF
state, can consent to no further change
or modification in this resolution"
Again the prssiding officer was about
to put the question when George. Dem

Frye faced about to the Democratic
side and looked steadily vt Mr.. George
"God may forgive the senator who
makes that objection" said Frye, each
word coming with measured d elibera-
tion. "but do n OF believe the American
people will forgive him."
There WAS an oppressive pause OF Z
moment. Senators looked At each other
omniously as Frye's words echoed
through the chamber.
George had risen slowly, his face
flushed and showing intense feeling.
"such remark 10 improper and I'M
worthy OF the SENATOR" said George.

fusnced in the least BY what the sem
asor may think on the subject. am
not responsible to the senator from
Maine as to my conduct"
George insisted on his objection, and
under the rules the resolution was laid
aside.
THE ALDRIcH RESOLUTION.
Lodge. Republican Of Massachusetts,.
then gave notice Of an intention 10 call
up the resolution offered by Aldrioh On
the 9th inst, saying that such course
was made necessary BY the objeetion
which had been made to the considsra1
ton OF other resolutions. The resslus
ton 10 ss follows:
Resolved, That the senate Of the
United States. having in view public
interests and those Of the Amsricsn oiti-
zsus residing in the Hawaiian islands.
il OF the opinion that our government
should be represented in the Hawaiian
waters BY one or moro ships Of its navy.
At this point there was break in the
discussion OF the Hawaiian question.
brought about by Cookrsll, chairman of
the com mittee on appropriations, BY the
in ntroduction Of report on the urgenc y
deficiency bill.
Finally Chandler moved Q postpone-
ment OF the conference report, postponed
until 2 O'Clock.
Lodge contsnded :hat the Hawaiian
business was of far more Importance
than the infliction OF the income tax on
the county. He could not refrain from
pointing to the verifcation furnished by'
the uprising reported in today's papsEa
of the predictions that had been ms<e
by Admiral Walker in his report and ly
himself in his remarks made in tia
senate, based upon that report.
The admiral made the point that th1
withdrawal OF the American ships from
Hawaiian waters would make the inn
preston upon che native mind that this
government was in sympathy with the
Royslists and in favor OF the restoration
of the queen.
In his comments Lodge pointed ont
that go far as the result has been effected,
il would not matter whether they were
right or wrong in reaching this conslu-
sion.
ADMIRAL WALKER QUOTED.
II would in either case be liable 20
encourage en- uprising. Admiral Walker
had also expressed ths opinion that ia
case Of "a uprising ths present govern
,, mont would be able to maintain itself.
and this prediction had also bssn hap-
PLY verified.
