METROPOLITAN Club.

The Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, the chairman of the Senate commit
tee on Pacific islands and Porto Rico and a
score Of other distinguished men gathered
about table at the Metropolitan Club last
night to do honor to Governor Sanford b.
Dole Of Hawaii. Mr.. William Haywood.

his guests numbered twenty five persons. as
follows:

derson. Senators Cullom. Clark of Wyo-
ming, Foraker, Spooner and Carter. Rep
resentatives Dalzell. Grosvenor. Newlands,
Tawney. Payne. Southland. Knox. Van voor-
his and Cannon, General John w. Foster.
Messrs. E. s. Boyd, Archibald Hopkins.
William Haywood, Lorrin A. Thurston, w.
N. Armstrong and Binger Hermann.
Speeches were made by the guests of
honor, Speaker Henderson. Senator Foraker.
Representatives Tawney, Grosvenor and
Knox, and Messrs. Haywood and Arm
strong.
Governor Dole expressed himself as salts
fed in the main with the Hawaiian terrific
rial government and as convinced that in
short time it would prove itself prac-
teal and coherent scheme Of administra-
ton. There was good material in Hawaii
for American citizenship, he said. He be-
lieved 1t would not be long before the Ha-
waiians would prove themselves worthy of
their foster parentage.
Speaker Henderson announced that he
had always believed in Governor Dole and
in the Hawaii he represented. In his judg
ment Hawaii had been annexed for good,
the partnership with the islands would be
permanent. and the republican party would
stand by Governor Dole and his admins
tration. Senator Foraker reviewed briefly
the history of Hawaii. emphasizing at the
conclusion of his review that the island was
part of the Union and not owned by the
United States. When more than 81 eco 600
had been collected from Hawaiian reve-
nues last year he argued that the island
could not be viewed as in any sense a bur-
and the others who spoke expressed their
confidence that In fifty years all the mixed
population of the islands would be thor
oughly American and would be free from
Asiatic environment

Gods sake. let keep silent until the war

ment Bill.
MR.. CANNON OPPOSED

After some routine business the House
today went into committee Of the whole
and took up the consideration Of the Senate
amendments to the omnibus claims bill.
AS passed by the House, the bill carried
about 100000 for the payment Of claims.
To this the Senate attached all the findings
of the Court of Claims under the Bowman
and Tucker acts for captured and abandon
ed property, French spoliation claims ag-
gregating about 100000 and many miscel-
laneous claims, aggregating in all over
s., SOO,O
Mr.. Mahon CPa-), chairman Of the COM
mittee on war claims. desired to non-con-
cur in all the Senate amendments and send
the bill to conference. but there was OBJ
lection to this course on the democratic
side.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.) moved to strike out
that portion of the Senate amendment COW
ering the findings of the Selfridge board
$1.071 ,425; churches and schools, So 974;
state claims, $422,27 and miscellaneous
claims, SIT .2G0. The Selfrdge board claims,
he said, grew out of the construction of
vessels during the civil war and had been
rejected by Congress in 1867, when they
were fairly considered. Since then, he said,
these claims had passed. in most cases, into
the hands of others. They had been re-
peatedly considered and rejected by Con-
greSs.
Mr.. Mahon (Pa.) and Mr.. Robert mass. }
defended the Selfridge board claims They
maintained that they were just obligations
which the government should pay.
Mr.. Cannon Qll.), chairman of the appro-
priation committee, opposed these claims.
He declared there was a full settlement
Of the contracts made with the claimants
and also for all extra work done.
He argued that the claims had no legal
standing.
Mr.. Sims (Tenn.) and Mr. DeArmond
(MoD also opposed the claims.
After some further debate by Messrs
Powers CMass) and Sherman IN. V in
support of the claims the vote was taken
upon Mr.. Underwood's motion to strike
them out. and 1t was carried-75 to y.
The other portions of the amendment
were non-concurred in, and the bill was

mittee on commerce today in favor of the
proposed measure against rate cutting etc.

stated that the customary procedure Of re-

anything beyond the fact that the bill was
no, referred to the commission in the usual
way. He was favorable to the general
purposes of the proposed legislation
