. | today Senator Lodge offered a resolu
| ton declaring that the United States
should keep a Warship at the Sandwich
| Islands, that measures should be takel
for the construction Of cable from
. San Francisco to Honolulu, and for the
. the United States.
5 Senator Blackburn objected to pres
ent consideration and the resolution
went over. Al o'clock the Nicaragua
canal bill came up but was also set
aside for consideration Of the urgent
efficiency bill.
Senator Hill discussed the elimination
Of his amendment relative TO the income
tax questions.
The Hawaiian subject was again
brought to the front by Senator Frye,
who called up his resolution presented
| Saturday, expressing the profound re
| gret of the senate at the latest effort
to restore the queen. Senator Gray
| urged that the senate was not a mis-
sionary meeting to express sentimental
ceiling on the aspirations Of Wei-intend-
ing people. He regarded the reports of
the last revolution as long-winGed. He
regarded the event as far less import
ant than the Brooklyn car strike. Sen
ator Gray commented on the unWar
ranted course Of Admiral Walker, ia re-
porting at legnth Oh the political phases
in Hawaii IT is a serious thing for q
senator to make a statement implying
that the president Of the United States
is sort Of Nero, f1ddling while Rome
burns" declared Senator Gray.
Senator Frye asked if the United
States minister a Hawaii requested the
presence Of a warship at Honolulu
Senator Gray said he had no infor
/ nation on this point, but he read from
| Minister Willis official dispatch TO Sec
retary Gresham, received Saturday,
I statiug that President Dole had eX-
pressed satisfaction that afternoon that
no warship was present at the recent
| revolution. Senator Frye lnterposed
/ statement that President Dole's re-
| marks were evidently designed to eX-
press his satisfaction at being able to
maintain the present government with
| out any foreign forces being in the Is
| lands
| Senator Gray urged that Admiral
| Walker, who was certainly swift Wit
ness for this oligarchy," had himself re
ported that the present government
could sustain itself without outside
help Senator Gray criticised the state
menJs Of Senator Lodge that the pres
ence Of the japanese cruiser Esmefaida
in Hawaii should create apprehension.
These critics Of the administration had
been compelled to give up the fear OF
Great Britain and turn to Japan. Ihey
had found that Great Britain had no
concern IN the subject. The senator
from Massa chusetts had evidently lost
great opportunities to twist the tan o.
the British lion and was now compelled
to turn to Japan.
Senator Chandler asked as to the
movements Of the Philadelphia and
Charleston. He remarked that Senator
Gray was generally regarded as fully
nualIfied to speak for the administra-
tion This evidently nettled Senator
Gray, who suggested that if the sena-
tor would call at the executive mansion
he would undoubtedly receive such In
formation as he desired He, (GraD
made no claims to executive 1nfOrma-
ton The senator from New Hampshire
having once been secretary Of the navy
perhaps shared in this spirit for con-
quests and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Senator Chandler continued to ques- /
ton Senator Gray as to the differences
to be drawn from his remarks that the
withdrawal of American warships was
In order to give the queens adherentS |
an opportunity to restore her to the |
throne Sena tor Gray Immediately de- |
MED that his remarks could be given /
any such construction. He urged that |
the present Hawaiian government was
not in reality a government. 1t was |
a native acknowledgement ton. This /
brought Senator Hawley to his feet |
with the remark that it might account |
for President Cleveland's action last /
August in dealing with the delegation |!
Of loyalists who came to Washington. !
1T is misrepresentation Of the pres |
dent Of the United States to say that !
he dealt with the royalists," responded |
Senator Gray. The president had not |
conferred with the royalist delegation. |
He had refused to see them officially
Senator Frye said he desired action. /
He had hoped on Saturday to cable |
the young Hawaiian republic that the t
American people, who made and UNI /
made presidents, who made and unmade /
secretaries Of state, we're profoundly in |
sympathy with its struggles. He had |
hoped that something would go by the /
vessel leaving San Francisco today. |
He asked an immediate vote.
Senator Mills objected to such speedy |
action.
Then | give notice" said Senator
Frye, that the resolution will be ad
vanced by every possible means from
this time forward"
-, -Lat cot t1r
Mills, I'VE want the resolution fully de-
hated.''
Senator Frye added that he would |
call up the Hawaiian resolution tomor /
row, and he concluded in response to
Senator Chambers suggestion that the
resolution might lose its place, I'VE
will then be strong enough to take it |
up
Senator Hill addressed the senate
against the action Of the conferees in |
striking out his amendment restricting
interrogatories to be asked by officers
collecting the income tax. Senator
Chandler declared no greater mistake |
could be made than to strike out the
amendment. Senator Sherman thought |
the treasury officials had gone beyond |
their powers in framing inquiries and |
said they ought to De revised.
After further discussion a vote was
taken on Senator CockrelPs motion that |
the senate recede from its amendment |
reducing the revenue agents from 10,
as proposed by the house, to three. The
motion was carried.
Then vote was taken on Senator
Cockrelrs motion that the senate recede
from the amendment offered by Senator
Hill, and it was carried Is to 10.
Then the Nicaraguan bill was laid
before the senate. Senator Morgan
asked unanimous consent that general
debate on motions shall close on Fri
day at o'clock and that after that
until o'clock debate shall proceed
under the five minute rule. at which
time voting on the amendments and
bills shall be begun. After some dis
