by Mr.. Rawlins OF Utah with a speech
In which he criticised vigorously the

tiOn OF the Hawaiian Islands, as il

Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota re-
sumed his speech In opposition to Ha-
waiian annexation, addressing the SEN

OF his argument. which was forceful and
interesting, because he had made a per
sonal Investigation Of the subject, he
maintained that the harbor Of Kiska, on
the island of Great KislSa, owned by
