Hawaiian registry. These criticisms have neen
promptly acted upon by the Honolulu authori-

will BE- admitted to register pending action on
the annexation treaty. Similar notice was given
in January, 1893. when annexation was proposed

WARRINGTON, July 17.-This was a remarka-
bly, dull and oppressively sultry day in the Sem
ate chamber. 1t was only with difficulty that a
bare quorum, forty-hve. was got together once,
and then IN executive session was held, con-
tinuing for two hours. The remainder Of the
day was consumed in the delivery OF a speech by
Senator Morgan Of Alabama in support Of the
resolution requesting the President to take
steps for the payment or clearing of of all the
liens on the Union Pacific Railway paramount
to that of the Government, with the Interior
object of having the railway owned and oper.
ated by the Government. During most OF
the three hours occupied. in. the speech the
Senate chamber was practically deserted. there
being but one Senator mr. hurstonl seated on
the Republican side, and only half a dozen on
the Democratic side; but the absence OF an au-
dience had no apparent influence upon Mr..
Morgan. He went on as smoothly, %fuently, and
impressively rs IL all the Senators were in their
seats and were honoring him with the closest
attention. Without concluding his speech Mr..
Morgan called for a motion to adjourn. and at
half past 5 the Senate adjourned till Monday.
