Cll4 House Frog rrSSes With the Discussion
 of the Administratiun's Gold Bond BIlI. The New Bond Issue Has Not Yet Been
 Decided Upon.
 WAsHINGToN, Feb 7.-The Hawaiian question in general, and the Hawaiian sablo in particular. were the main themes before the senate The diplomatic consul | lar appropriation bill was taken up. and l would have been quickly disposed of eX- copt for the item of $500, 900 for imme- I diately beginning cable construction be- tween the United States and Hawaii. Mir Mills of Texas made point of or | der against the cable proposition which is
 likely to rule it out, but the decision was | withheld until senators could further de- bate Hawaii
 Mir. Hale of Maine presented estimates
 showing the prospective cost of the cable | to be al out S2. 50U 000. Mir Platt of Con-
 necticut Ephold the cable project and read l carly presidential messages of Mir Cleve l land urging congress to provide for the cable Mir. Platt also maintained that | Great Britain would build this cable if the United States did not thus linking | England and Hawaii by commercial ties. Mir. Tollcr of Colorado renewed his crit icisms of Secretary Hcrbert's course to- ward Hawai-. MT. Gray Ol DeIaWaTe ue- l fcnded the course of Secretary Herbert | and of the administration, and caustically ! characterized the overthrow of Queen LiliuOkalani us Q mean. paltry conspiracy. He declared 1t was about as commendable | as q husband beating a wife. The Hawaiian debate will be resumed today. The bill for a new pOstOffice at 1 Chicago was passed without opposition just as the senate was about to adjourn Ia the House.

Drake, the candidate for governor. and
George ID. Perkins, congressman from the
Eleventh district. brakes speech was
the frat formal address of the campaign,
and much interest was attached thereto
His speech ives devoted 20 national and
state issues both, but he claimed that ma
tional issues were most important at this
time. After Drake had finished Perkins
was introduced and addressed the meeting
Drake referred to the liquor question in
the following words, which include all ne
said on that subject:
'Some Of us have thought that this
question could be settled by the actions Of
political conventions; most OF US now be-
lieve that IL requires more than political
resolutions I'm party platforms. There are
still points Of sharp difference, but think
that men have been growing more chari-
table towards the views of other men. We
may differ and still be honest. This was
the view the Republican party took ac-
lively two years ago. The speech which
pointed the way Of the Republican party
in that contest was made by one of the
fathers Of Republicanism, man highly
esteemed in politics and in the church
The party then relegated this question
to the Legislative districts, affirming the
American doctrine of local self-government.
The convention which named me as can
didate for the Office of governor left the
question SO relegated. am wholly salts
