HAWAIIAN BILL PASSED
NO DIVISION OF OPINION ON THE VOTE
IN THE SENATE.
Icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBuNs.I

Washington, March 1.-The Senate passed the
Hawaiian Territorial bill late this afternoon with
out a division No recognizable political or par
tisan issues were raised by the work Of the Com
mission led by Senators Cullom and Morgan
which prepared the framework Of government
to be set up in Hawaii. Mr. Platt, OF Connecti-
cut came near precipitating vital division Of
opinion by offering amendment declaring that
nothing in the bill implied the promise of future
Statehood to the newly created Pacific Territory
This amendment would have involved a test Of
strength In the Senate between the adherents
and opponents of the theory that the Constitu-
ton extends itself automatically to all territory
acquired by the United States. and that new
possessions can be held only on the theory that
they are to be sooner or later Incorporated into
the Union AS Mr.. Platts additional section was
offered after p m. the time limit set for
ceiving new amendments, the President pro
tempore was obliged to declare it out of order.
No roilcali was necessary to dispose of the
amendment of Senator Clark OF Wyoming, max
ing a grant of S25OO00 from the former Crown
land revenues to ex-Queen Liliuokalani The bill
then passed by e-viva voce vote
