the Senate of the question of Hawaiian
annexation was begun, today, in open
session. At the very opening the OPP
ponents of annexation scored a poin
by preventing a yea and nay vote Of
taking up the resolutions.
When Mr.. Davis, chairman of tho
committee on foreign relations. called
up the resolutions. the Nive President
announced that without objection The
resolutions would be considered. Ne
objection being entered he declared the
resolutions to be before the Senate.
Later Mr.. Frye of Maine, demanded
the yeas and nays upon the request t.
take up the resolutions. Mr.. White
Cal. made the point of order that {
yea and nay vote could not be had on
dead issue and that the resolutions
We're already before the Senate by
unanimous consent. The point was
sustained.
The opponents of annexation Were
decidedly pleased at preventing a show
of strength. but at 4.30 this afternoon
Mr. White afforded the friends of an
nexation the opportunity they haf
