Il told you So" he could not refrain
from pointing to the veritication fur
nished by the uprising reported in to-
days paper of the predictions which
had been made by Admiral Walker In
his report, and by himself In his re-
marks made III the senate based upon
that report. The admiral had made the
point that the withdrawal of the Amer
lean ships from Hawaiian waters would
make the impression upon the native
mind that this country was in sympathy
with the royalists and favorable to the
Restoration Of the Queen;
and, in his comments, Mr.. Lodge had
pointed out that SO far as the result
would be affected. it would not matter
whether they were right or wrong in
reaching this conclusion. 1t would in
either case be liable to encourage an
uprising. Admiral Walker had also eX-
pressed the opinion that in case OF an
uprising the present government would
be able TO maintain itself, and this pre-
diction had also been happily verified.
MI. Lodge referred to the portion OF
the presidents message bearing upon
the landing of British cable on the Ha-
waiian islands as covert reference to
Admiral Walker. who was his own wit
ness, and proceeded to comment upon
the fact that the "intelligent diplomatic
agent" to whom the president had re-
ferred, had been so prompt to diSaVoW
the views of the admiral. He also
called attention to statemen Is Ill to-
days dispatches concerning the alleged
readiness of the British consul repre-
sentative to recognize the revolution

able to hold the palace for three hours.
lie did not mean to imply that the Brit
iSh were doing more in Hawaii than
seeking by the aggreSsiveneSS which
Great Britain shows IN all such matters
to extend the commercial supremacy OF
that country. He
Criticised the Administration
not only for the withdrawal Of the
American ships. but for its first efforts
to sustain the royaliStS, and also COM
planned of what he considered the eff
forts of the Democratic senators to pre-
vent immediate consideration Of the
question by technical objections and
privileged reports In view OF the facts
developed III today's dispatches, the
senate should no longer delay i'll the
expression OF sympathy with the Re-
publican course in Hawaii in extending
its congratulations on the strength
which the existing government had
shown, and in declaring for an Amer
lean policy of administration. Mr..
George said he had based his objection
on the ground that the information fur
niShed was insufficient to proceed on in
the manner Indicated by the resolution.
He characterized the Hawaiian affair
as little riot in which only
two or three people were killed." and
said that no American had lost his life
nor had any American property been
destroyed. Hence he had thought it
wise that the senate should delay action
until further information. He said in
reply to questions by Mr.. Teller that
the senate had nothing to do with the
rights of the president as commander
in-chiet of the army and navy in his
disposal of these forces, land we are
not" said he, ''called upon with all our
powers to give any advice IN the prem
ises."
Mr.. George said the present Ha-
Waiian government was one of force, 1t
had secured its place by force and it
was bound to maintain itself by force.
There was no obligation on the United
States 10 maintain that government.
We might maintain the lives and prop
erty Of American citizens in Hawaii,
but the lives and property Of American
citizens
Were Not Assailed.
GLOW will we protect American citi-
ZenS in Hawaii when our war ships are
in San Francisco" interpoSed Mr..
Kyle.
Mr.. George answered that there was
no occasion for the ships to go to Ha-
waii. 1--WE are sending them to NADIA
gascar," suggested Mr.. Allison, deri-
siYely. MIR. George urged that there
was no warrant in international OF con-
stitutiOnal law for interference by the
| United States.
Mr.. Kyle urged briefly that the sltua-
| ton demanded immediate action by the
senate. The United States navy was
being distributed to Bluefields. NADIA
gascar-eYerywhere but Hawaii.
Mr.. Caifery (La.) said he gathered
| from the published reports that the up
rising was a tiZZle, a fiaScO. 1t had
shown only one thing-that the existing
government was amply able to sustain
itself. The senator spoke against the
heterogeneous population of Hawaii. 1t
would be against The best interests of
this country TO take such people un-
der our flag.
1.-The policy of the president of the
United States toward those Islands has
been marked by the utmost wisdom and
sagacity," said Mr.. Catfery.
Mr.. Frye then secured the passage OF
a resolution asking the secretary of the
navy for information as TO the surveys
made of Pearl harbor, Hawaiian
Islands. by Admiral Walker. At this
! point the hour of O'Clock arrived, and
as the senate had previously fixed this
time tor hearing eulogies on ths late
| Senator Vance, of North Carolina, the
| Hawaiian resolution was laid aside.
