The HawaIan subject was again brought '
to the front by Mr. , '
) lrye who called 'up his
resolution presented Saturday expressing the
profound regret or the senate at lie ( latest t
effort to restore the Queen.
NOT A MISSIONARY MEETING.
Mr. Oray urged that the Un led States senate ,
was nol a missionary meeting to "
I meetng expres
exress"
sentmental feeling on the osplratlotis of
aspiratons I
wel intentioned people. 10 regarded the
reports ot tine last revolution as "long
winded " lie regarded the event as far less
Important than the Irooklyn car strike. Mr .
Gray commented on the unwarrantell course
or Admiral Walker In reporting at length
on political phases hI HawaII.
"It Is 1 serious thing for I senator to
make 1 statement Implying that tire president -
dent or the United States Is'a sort of 'Nero
fiddling while Home burns ' " ,
fddlng , whie , declared Mr .
Mr. Fr"e asled If tire United States
minister at HawaIi had not requested the
presence of a war ship at llonolulni.
Mr. Gray saltl ho
sall had no information on
this point , but he read from MinIster Willie r'
Wils'
omclal despatch to Secretary Oresham received -
celved Saturday stating ( lint President Dole
had expressed satIsfactIon that
satsfacton no foreign
warship was present during the recent revo-
lution.
Mr. Frye
Interposed the statement that
President Dole's remarks were evidently ( he .
signed to express his satIsfactIon at being
able to maintain the present govermenl
wIthout any foreign forces being In the
Islands.
Mr. Gray urged that Admiral Walker , "who
was certainly a swift witness for this
oligarchy , " had himself reported that the
present government could sustain itself wih-
out outside help. Mr. Gray criticized the
statements or Mr. Lodge that the presence
ot the Japanese cruiser Esmeralda In HawaI
should create apprehenston. These critics
ot the adminIstration had been compeled to
give up fear ot Great Britain and turn
to Japan. They had found Great Britain
has no concern In the subject The senator
from Massachusetts ( Lodge ) hall evidently
lost great opportunIties to twist ito tall or
the Britsh lon and was now compelled to
turn tl Japan.
During Mr. Gray's reference to Admiral
Walker Mr. Lodge rose to ask as to the
justification for these Inferences
justfcaton against dis-
tnguished naval officers or being "a swift
winess . " etc.
"That , Is no inference , " said Mr. Gray.
"That Is u direct positive statement. \'hle
I fully recognize the ability or Admiral
Walker as a gallant officer . I also recognize
that ho shares the predilectIons of irIs profession -
fession for conquest , for coalIng stations In '
the Pacific as stepping stones to add territory -
tory for a great navy and , that the real
reason for maintaining a vast naval armament -
meat Is part of the admiral's profession. "
Mr. Chandler asked as to the movements of
the PhiladelphIa and Charleston. He re
marked that Mr. Gray was generally regarded L
as fully qualified to speak for the administra-
( Ion.
MR. GnAY WAS HUFPY.
This evidently nettled Mr. Gray , who suggested -
gested I the senator would cal at the mice
utve mansion ho would undoubtedly receive
such information as he desIred. He ( Gray )
made nl claims to executive InformatIon .
The senator from New Hampshire , havIng :
once been secretary ot the navy , perhaps ;
shared In this spirit for conquest and aggrn-
dlsement.
Mr. Chandler smlled'nnd continued to
Jr. smled'and contnue Ques-
ton Mr. Gray a to the Inferences tl bo
draw from his remarks that the withdrawal
ot American warships was In order t give
the Queen's adherents an opportunity to re
store her to the throne.
Mr. Gray Indignantly denied thaI his no' -
marks could be given any such construction .
He urge that the present HawaiIan govern
ment was not In reality a government. I I
was 1 tentative , de facto organization. '
This brought Mr. Hawley of Connnecicu t
to his feet with the remark thaI It might account -
count for I'resldent Cleveland's acton last
August In dealIng with a delegation ot royalIsts -
lets who came to Washington.
"It Is a misrepresentation of the president
of the Unite States to say he deal with roy
alsts , " responded Mr. Gray , with much force
The president had not conferred wIth the roy
alst delegation. lie hall refused . to receive
them officially.
Mr. Fre said he desired action. He bad
hoped on Saturday 10 cable the young Ha-
waIan republic that the American people ,
whl made and unmade presidents , who made
and unmade secretaries of state , were pro
foundly In symllathy with its strugglos. proa
hall hoped something woulll go by the vesel I
leaving San Francisco today. Ho asked teen r

"Then I give notIce , " said Mr. Frye , " ( Ira t
the resolution will be advance by ever possible -

"That II what wo want , " said Mr. Mills I.
"We want the resolution fully debated. "
