Austin, Texas, May 7.-Sen-
ator Beali arose in the senate
this morning and in a neat,
short speech stated that sen
ator was guilty of writing poe
try. and as that particular sen
ator was from the wild west,
where he thought that there
were 10 poetic Inspirations, he
was much surprised. The sen
ator be referred to was not here
to defend himself, but The poetry
had fallen in his hands aud he
would present it in the form Of

Tillet of Abilene being the
senator referred to by Senator
Bsall, the reading of the resol-
utior caused much laughter.

Annexation OF the Hawaiian Islands
having become all but fact, the treaty
signed and the ratification OF the senate
only needed, called upon the chairman OF
tho SenaSe foreign affairs committee.
cushman X. Davis. and afterwari upon
the Secretary OF State, John sherman. to
inquire into the news OF the event
Mr., Davis. whose middle name IS Kel-
logg, is just - years old this month and
has been ten years senator. Secretary
sherman is fifteen years older and was
a last May.
Davis was graduated at the University
ing in the west sherman merely went
to the plain schools OF Lancaster, Ohio,
and his student and lawyer life quickly
passed into the career OF a successful con-
gresham ard senatorial candidate; at 81
he had been elected senator.
Davis was nearly 20 when he became a
senator. but was governor OF Minnesota
at IS He went TO the war while young
lawyer, and had little legislative career.
rather an advocate and student. He at
traeted attention by a bold reply to de-
mand upon him by the Debs power to
cast his vote 50 that disorder would have
a legal status, The reply was that OF
anybody hut a vote-getter's and there
fore appealed to the country like the sin
gle voice OF man who took no counsel
in his citizen indignations. AS chief mag
istrate OF a state bordering on Indian and
foreign lands, Governor Davis learned
proclamation.
Mr.. Sherman has never filled an eNecu-
tive office, though half century in
controlling politics, and never ran before
the people Of any part o. the country but
his own congressional district.
Sherman Is of Connecticut stock. his
fathers originally Jefrersonian and Madi-
sonian democrats.
Davis originated on the St Lawrence
river. New York. and is probably OF Yer
mont stock.
The two men who made this treaty
and promulgated it are altogether unlike.
Davis is a modern product, an individu-
al. not cast in any other senator's pat
tern. He is a child OF nature and a man
Of literary care. What is written impress
ses his mind. Books come TO him like
clients and he Giscerns them with a
scholars discretion and acquisitiveness
and arises more sober and older from
their absorption
Sherman reads without the youthful
grasp. He is commercial minded man.
The legal and literary presentation Of a
case is not as important to him as a
matter Of banking, interest and trade.
Davis is a man OF good size above the
medium. with a little child's ear. head
Of latin pattern, like Albert Gallatin's,
a sense Of humor and OF solemnity alter
mating in a natural vein. He looks waTily
out at new question. yet with the i'm
pulses of youth and an American. Bis
comrade life in the war made internaticn-
al things not dismaying. He still has the
picket's outlook, thinking between his
posse behind and the possible enemy be-
fore.
Sherman took up foreign relations late
and still studies them from the post OF a
chairman OF the finance committee. The
business proposition takes all the romance
out OF case with him Yet he is not a
bold business man; indeed. an exceedingly
prudent one. After ne lost the speaker
ship in 1859 Mr.. Sherman became a con-
servative.

Secretary Sherman was sitting by his
office lamp when ! called on him al .
O'Clock a. night Several newspaper re-
Dorters were coming in momentarily on
little inquiries
The Secretary had rather EXTENDED
white beard and rnoustaches and looked
more venerable than Of yorc, but still
looked comfortable and benevolent. No
body guarded him but a white female
porter and It was an easy picture Of
republican carelessness Of state.
1T is not a fact that you were opposed
to the Hawaiian treaty, Mr.. Secretary"
NO was in favor or II. In other times
and under other circumstances opposed
acquisitions Of territory merely for that
purpose. such as was done TO extend
slavery and to threaten some peaceful
neighbor Also TO bring into our coun-

But are the Hawaiian Islands not Cx-
posed for the summer and fan to cruel
contingencies?
Hardly"
Are they to any sense admitted by the
treaty having been signed?"
NO. the senate must act"
Could the president interfere If some
other nation made demonstration on
the islands?"
The action Of the United States in con-
Guiding the treaty is sufficient notice OF
the national intention. An interference
in the recess Of congress would not d.
vide. but rather unite American public
opinion. The attitude Of hostility to the
government OF tho Republic Of Hawaii
by Mr.. Cleveland produced public indigna-
ton which never quit him until he made
the Yenezuela proclamation. Regarding
the respectable aspirations OF the nation
only causes wilder jingoism."
Has the present stagnation not been
the result Of a want Of propulsive force
since the dying out Of the energies awak-
ened by secession?"
The coastwise commerce Of the United
States, the largest In the world, is one
Of the results Of our new maritime spirit.
and the commerce Of the great lakes is
greater than the coastwise commerce,
though it has all come up. worth talking
about, IN the last fifteen years. In the
heart Of the American exists the sailor
spirit as it used to be on the North Sea,
the Baltic and in the Mediterranean Re-
publlcs. Minnesota has Norwegian

when the Alaska purchase was made
by the senate. attempts were made to
hold up the treaty by the Washington
lobby hoping to make Russian attorneys
pay money"
IAN l remember as to that was that
Alaska was only resisted as a purchase
en- the ground Of its worthlessness. The
Hawaiian Islands have long had a trade
Of above ten millions a year"
How great IS the amount Of sugar
they producer
1T is said that they have nearly reach !
ed the limit Of three hundred tons. be-
yond which they cannot extend their pro- /
ductiOn. AS we consume over two mil /
lions Of tons Of sugar. no interest can
be materially injured by the islands, I
which grow or refine sugar. The far 7
seeing agrfcultursts Of the islands are
about 10 raise coffee under the American
flag. They have already commenced it."
Is there anything Objectionable in the
ruling Hawaiian population"
1T is the only ruling population which
appeals 10 US that is unobjectionable. II
