IN THE SENATE.
The Hawaiian Discussion Interrupted
by a Talk on Indian Mineral Lands.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Discussion in
the Senate on the Hawaiian annexation
question was interrupted to-day by Mr..
Rawlins, of Utah, with a speech in which
he criticised vigorously the proposition
embodied in the conference report on the
Indian appropriation bill, which acknowl-
edges the rights of the Indians to lease
mineral lands on their reservations. He
declared that it was a far greater matter
than the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands, it would involve the cession
to the Indians of the mineral rights in
territory exceeding 50.0C00 600 acres of land,
not including the Territory of Alaska
He charged that spectators had obtained
already leases to much of these lands and

nearer the coast and therefore more
completely under the guns of the Amer
