could be continued no longer. Rather
| than clog the wheels of our foreign
service Mr.. Blackburn said he would
| move to recede from the cable amend
ment.
Mr.. Pettigrew urged that the senate
recede This half million was only
the first step toward vast outlay. Let
England build the cable. There was
no fear of England. Let her enter on
a contest with the United States. The
United States would sweep her COM
merce from the seas and capture Can
ada.
LODGE HAS a MAP.
Mr.. Pettigrew yielded for the pre-
sentation of the conference agreement
FOR the District of Columbia aproprla-
ton bill. which was confirmed. The
conference report on the legislative eX-
ecutive and judicial bill was also con-
firmed. Mr.. Lodge made a spirited re-
ply to Mr.. Pettigrew. He had large
map hung, graphically showing by
various colors the British naval sta
tions in the Atlantic tand PACING. BY
various lines he showed the compare
tive naval strength Of the United
States and Great Britain. There was
great interest in this and the galleries
broke into loud hand clapping When
MIR. Lodge dramatically said: Let the
United States once plants its flag on
that Hawaiian soil and no nation on
the face of the arth Will ever haul it
down"
The demonstration in the galleries
lasted so long that the presiding officer
threa tened TO clear the galleries
Mr. Morgan then read extracts from
a message of President Cleveland in
1856 in which he said the Importance
OF Geographic communication between
the Hawaiian islands and the United
Staas should not be overlooked
THAT MEANT BUILD IT.
Referring to this Mr. Morgan said
that meant that congress was TO pass
a law TO accomplish this purpose. IL
congress had the constitutional pow
er to spend government money making
g. survey for cable why could IL not
lay the cable. In the course of his ar
gument Mr.. Morgan questioned wheth-
er any citizen OF Hawaii might be in
duced to wear the toga which some
men in the senate disgraced."
Mr.. Morgan closed at 12:45 a. m. Mr..
Blackbur S motion to Tecede was de-
feated, q TO 30, and the bill sent back
to conference. The full vote is: Yeas
