REcETVED CLOSE ATTENTION.
Presidents Message on the Bond Issue
 Before the Senate.


 Washington, Feb. S.-The vice presi- dent laid before the senate the presi- dents message concerning the issue of bonds. The reading of the message re- ceived close attention. The message was referred to the finance committee. The resolution offered by MT. Call, dem, of Florida, for a special committee to inquire into the doings of the Honduras or Louisiana Lottery company in con nection with politics in Florida was talk en up and was antagonized by MT. Cor man, dem, of Maryland.
 Some sharp words passed between Messrs. Call and German. MT Call said he had reason to believe that there had been attempts in Louisiana, Florida and Arizona to corrupt elections and public officials.
 what power" Mir. German asked, has the senate to inquire into it?"
 Why MT. Call answered, with an air of angry disdain, plain, plain, unques- tionable. Why is the, senator so anx- ious to defend those corrupt companies that are seeking to oppress the peo- pIa?' .....
 
 tervened with a motion to proceed to consider the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill.
 The bill was taken up, the pending question being on the amendment ap- propriating $500OOO as part of the cost of a cable between the United States and the Hawaiian Islands. Mir Kyle, pop, of South Dakota, advocated the amendment.
 The discussion was interrupted by the presentation of the presidents message forwarding the dispatches relating to the death sentences on the Hawaiian revolutionlsts. The message and dis patches were read and were listened to in deep silence.
 MT. Hale, rep, of Maine, said the tragic and melancholy results fore shadowed in those dispatches showed that imperative necessity of having cable between the United States and the Hawaiian Islands. Such cable would have averted or postponed the impending tragedy.
 MT. Frye, rep, of Maine, remarked that it would be ten days ,at least, before President Cleveland's instruc-
  and in the meantime every American prisoner might be hanged.
 MT. Teller, rep, of Colorado, spoke of the United States having gone through the greatest of civil wars with out a single execution and said that he did not think that the emeute which had occurred at Honolulu would justify the government in carrying out the harsh measures on which it had start ed He hoped that the government of the United States would take prompt steps to prevent executions that would shock the civilized world
 The message and dispatches were re- ferred to the committee on foreign re- lations.
 Mr. Morgan said that it was Eng lands commercial power sustained and protected by her navy, that enabled her to do so much. He wanted this cable to Hawaii as a point of focalizing the United States navy in the Pacific. In the course of further remarks MT. Mor- gan said he should have more respect for the government of Hawaii if it hanged traitors than if it weakly de- clined to do so on the interference of any other government.
 MT. Hawley, rep. of Connecticut, while in sympathy with the general tenor of Senator Morgan's speech he protested against palliating the conduct of the Hawaiian government in it's haste to condemn certain citizens to death. The situation, he said, had been such there on both sides that, whichever side be- came victor it should have found it's policy and duty to be merciful.
 MT. Hawley said he had a personal interest in the matter, as one of the men, Major Seward, was a constituent of his and had formerly served under him in the army.
