plowed through snow drifts to get to the
capitol today and the effect Of the blizs
zard was shown by the scant attendance
in the galleries.. The condition of the
Washington poor. resulting from the
storm and intense cold, induced Mr..

duce q bill appropriating 10000 and
making it Immediately avsilable for the
relief OF the poor. Formalities were
dispensed with and the bill was passed
without opposition or debate.

face Of one senator as he noted the de-
cisive manner in which the president
set forth his purposes. Mr.. Hill conn
mented occasionally with Mr.. Vest 90

THE ISLAND CABLE.
The presidents message giving Mr.
Willis latest dispatches as to the sen-
tenoes of death in Hawaii was them read,
amid impressive silence.
Mr., Hale said the tragic and melans
choly results foreahadowed by Minister
Willis showed the imperative need Of 81
cable. 1t would have avertsd OK poats
poned this tragedy.
Mr.. Teller said the Hawaiian governs
ment was acting far beyond the demands
of the occasion. The circumstances
would shock the world. Mr.. Teller
hoped the committee on fore ign rela-
tions would inaugurats steps toward in~
tsrvension in order that the death pen.
alties be averted.
But" said Mr.. Frye, "they can hang
every man in the Hawaiian islands be-
fore you can get word to them."
Most of the speech OF Mr.. White waa
devoted to the cable, but at the close he
spoke of the presidents message CON-
cerning the death sentences in Hawaii.
"I do not believe these sentencas
have been imp osed with view to their
being carried out" said he. THE gov-
eminent of Hawaii must be built ON
something more substantial than sand
sta ined by blood"
Mr.. White said this government
should intervene whether those under
sentence of death were Americans or
not, but it was certainly our duty to in
tervene II any Americans were under
sentence.
The cable project was further dis.
cussed by Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Per.
kline.
