URGED THE SENATE TO ACT
Senators Hill and George the
Subjects of sharp Attack
Quite a Dramatic Scene
Yesterdays Work.

United States senator from Nebraska for
the term beginning March next. With
this brief routine prelude. FRYE of the COM
mittec of foreign affairs, gave a dramatic
turn TO the proceedings by Offering the fol-
lowing resolution:
les irtd, That the senate learns with pro-
iounu Indignation OF an attempt to restore the
def osed party 10 power I'm tn Hawaiian Islands
( ana extends 10 the young republic The warmest
1 sympathy in her efforts 10 suppress the re-
! 5euon
Frye asked that the resolution be given
immediate consideration.
Il suggest" said Hill. that the lam
! Guage, profound Indignation is rather
extreme and it might be desirable to
modify it by the words profound re-
grct.''
ION the contrary declared Frye, with
great earnestness, II do not believe pro-
/ found Indignation sufficiently expresses
my own feelings or the feelings of the
American people,"
Nor the feeling OF the senator from
New York. INTERCEPTED Chandler, sar-
cdstica.ly.
Hill hestated only moment at the in
terruptlou and then added: II at least
hope the senator from New Hampshire

my own feelings. | had not moved an
amendment to the language, but had
merely offered a suggestion"
I'm order to facilitate the passage of
the resolution" continued Frye, "and in
order that it may at once be sent to the
Hawaiian islands, | will accept the pro-
posal to change it,"
The presiding officer was about to put
the question and 1t seemed as though the
resolution would pass without a word of
protest. when Gray objected.
u do not object to the first part of the
resolution sand he, 'but the last part
seems inappropriate"
"Ihcn," said Frye, "let us proceed TO
the consideration of the first. l will mod
ify the resolution accordingly"
Gallery rose at this point. rs this not
rather premature? ?" he asked. 1--WE are
not informed as to the facts on which the
resolution is predicated. The press re.
ports this morning tell us there has been
All emuete in the Hawaiian islands, but
whether there has been any effort to re-
store the queen to her throne do not
know. | ask the senator from Maine to
tell US If he has any information on that
point"
FRYE was again on his feet. Il must
say lie proceeded, "that since have
read IN the morning papers that the see
rotary OF state says that we can take no
action until he receives an official COM
munlcatlon rs to tine outbreak, and that
while the secretary of the navy can order
warships to those islands. he would not
act until so requested b. the secretary of
state, / can consent TO no further change
or modification in the resolution"
Again the presiding officer was about to
ha hap
II object"
Frye faced about to the democratic side
and looked steadily at George.
God may forgive the senator who
makes that objection" said Frye, but
don't believe the American people will" /
There was an oppressive pause for a mo-
ment. The senators looked at each other /
ominously as Frye's words re-echoed
through the chamber.
George had risen slowly, his face flushed /
and showing intense feeling.
"Such remark Is improper aud I'M |
worthy the senator" said George. MY 4
right to offer an objection is not inGu- /
enced in the least by what the senator
may think on the subject. | am not re-
sponsblc TO the senator from Maine as to
ny conduct"
George insisted on his objection. and
lnder tho rules the resolution was laid
aside.
