Washington. June 2s.-Almost the en-
tire session OF the senate to-day was oc-
cupied by Mr.. Caffery of Louisiana in a
continuance of his speech against the
annexation Of Hawaii. At 4 o'clock he
had not concluded, but yielded the floor
in order tina the general deficiency bill
might be considered. The bill was read
and the committee amendments. so far
as they have been offered. were agreed
to. Consideration of the bill will be
resumed tomorrow morning.
The Hawaiian annexation resolutions
were taken up. and Mr.. Cafery. Louis
lana, resumed his speech in opposition
o'clock. while Mr.. Canery was expound-
ing a legal proposition bearing upon the
question in discussion. Mr.. Jones Of Ar
kansas. who was temporarily in The
chair, said:
The senator from Louisiana will sus-
pend. IT Is manifest to the chair that
a quorum Of the senate is not prts,nI
The hair therefore directs the clerk 10
call the roll" This unusual direction
from the chair created some surprise
among enators in the chamber.
While discussing what ne deemed the
wrong done TO the constituted authority
during the Hawaiian rebellion 81 1873
Mr.. Cafery declared that II Was a blI-
ter and rancorous spirit whtcn directed
the attack made upon President : I've

eous stand taken by Mr.. Cleveland IN
attempting TO right the wrong done ny
Minister stevens and the band Of Ha-
waiian revolutionists. Concerning the
formation OF the de facto government
Of Hawaii. Mr.. Caffery declared that
there was never anything like IL in the
history Of nations. Some man. ne said.
read a proclamation. When he began
to read % or 80 people were present. IN
by the time he had concluded perhaps
600 had gathered. A government was
never made SO easily. said he, or ele-
waited so quickly.
Within half an hour said Mr.. CAT
ferry. Minister Stevens a acknowl-
edged that the revolutiOnists had over
thrown the regularly constituted gov
eminent. The Hawaiian government
had under us authority several islands.
Ii was impossible for Minister stevens
TO know ina the revolution had been
successful. international law requires
that a de facto government WI be
strong enough 10 maintain itself win
the consent Of the people, bu within 10
hours after the revolutionary govern
ment a been created. IL demanded
the protection OF the United States.
Mr.. CaffeTy maintained that II was
merely a paper government, ana never
had amounted 10 much He declared
that within 80 days after the
edCment by the United States minister
thai the new government had been
formed, members Of The ~oNeThfntnt
were on board a steamboat en- route 10
this country with a treaty Of anneXa-
ton in this pockets.
The ultimate purpose OF the resolu-
tIons from the start said Mr.. Canery,
was annexation TO the United states.
He said an the conspirators were sug-
ar men. and the tariff law then IN oprI-
alton was inimical TO their interests. n
added that a good deal had been SAID
recently about the interest OF the sugar
trust in the pending question OF annex
alton. The statements were hluS"I!
and misleading, and intended TO be
such.
I'm the course Of my remarks, said
! Mr. Carerv, L will attempt TO snow
hereafter that the interests OF the
American Sugar Refining company are
not better subserved by having HaWall
as II it than by having Hawai an
nexed. The interests of the sugar
trust are not better subserved by haN-
ing Hawaii being independent and free
than by having Hawaii being a part OF
the United states, and the newspapers

TO cover their own tracks
AT 4 o'clock. Mr.. Cafery, not vi

The ~nnexatio resolutions were LARD
aside for the day. and Mr.. Hale OF
Maine called up the general dehciency
bill. After the reading Of the bill
which consumed an hour and a half
the senate, at 5:35 p. m, went into tx
ecutive session. Mr.. Hale gave notice
that he would call up the measure a
