of Hawaii il now accomplished 50 far as
the Legislative branch az the government
i concerned. Quite uDexDectedly the
resolutions providing for the annexation
Of the islands were brousht 10 a vote in
the senate hate this afternoon. and they
were passed by the decisive vote Of a. to
FL. Early In to.lav's session Of the sen,
ate conferences Of the leaders ON hath
sides Of the chamber were held. and "A
tacit agreement was reached that a vote
should be taken tomorrow or Friday at
the latest. The oppoueuts of annexation
practically had concluded their arpu.
ments, and as thew had no desire to keen
the senate in session by purely dilatory
tactics, they announced their willingness
that vote should be taken as soon as
Senator White, Senator Pettigrew and
Senator Allen had finished their speeches.
Finally, at $50 D. m, the resolutions
themselves in precisely the form in which
they were received from the house Of rep
resentatiyes were reported to the senate,
and the roll call began. Not sound was
heard in the chamber except the call OF
the clerk and the replies Of the senator's.
When the vice president announced the
vote by which the resolutions were passed
tremendous wave Of applause swept the
galleries, which the vice president made
no effort to check Those who had adyo-
Gated the resolutions expresses, their
pleasure bv shaking hand. with one an
other, and on all sides evident relief was
shown that the end had come For a few
minutes 80 much good natuTed confusion
existed that the dignity Of the senate was
thrown aside, but Vice President Hobart
quietly reminded the senators that the
session was not yet at an end.
