ecm, a a ~ a WORK OF CONGRESS Washington, June 21.—Discussion by the senate of the Hawaiian annexation was begun in open session. At the very opening of the discussion the op- ponents of annexation quite unexpect- edly scored a point by preventing an aye and nay vote on taking up the resolution. When Mr. Davis, chair- man of the foreign relations commit- tee, called up the resolutions the vice president declared, as usual, that no objections being raised the resolutions would be considered. There being no «objections the resolutions were taken up. A minute or two later Mr. Frye demanded an aye and nay vote on the ‘question. Mr. White instantly made a point of order that an aye and nay vote could not be taken on a dead issue, the resolutions were already before the senate on unanimous con- sent. The point of order was, of course, maintained. In the afternoon 4 motion was made to adjourn, and, like a flash, Mr. Davis demanded the ayes and nayes, the motion, the vote on which was a test of strength be- tween the friends and Opponents of Annexation was defeated decisively — 44 to 15. Having gained his point in developing the numerical weakness of the oppo- sition, Mr. Davis readily agreed to enter a motion for an executive ses- sion. The proceedings of the day in- dicate clearly that there is to be no debate upon the Hawaiian question in the ordinary acceptance of the term. It is not the purpose of the friends of annexation to consume time in making speeches. Believing that the senate has already in executive session thor- oughly discussed the question they will permit the cpponents of the project to occupy all of the time. This plan of campaign is not satisfactory to the latter, aud during the session consid- erable bitterness was manifested at times. The speakers were Mr. Morrill, the venerable senator from Vermont. and one of the Republican opponents of annexation, and Mr. Bacon of Georgia. Mr. Morrill covered the gen- eral question, while Mr. Bacon dis- cussed the power of congress to annex territory by legislative act, maintain- ing that such annexation was uncon- Stitutional. In the House. The house passed the general defi- ciency, carrying 224,000,000. The bill occasioned little debate and it passed practically as reported to the house from the committee on appropriations. The remainder of the day was given to District of Coulumbia business. Washington, June 22. — Interest in the senate already has begun to flag. Early in the present session the sen- ate debated the question behind closed doors for six weeks. During that time a majority of the speakers were accorded close attention. It is evident from the proceedings that the senators will not become enthusiastic over arguments which are not now new to them. Senator White of California, the leader of the opponents of annex tion, spoke for four and one-half hours. His argument was skillful and was presented with oratorical ability, but failed to command the attention from the senators it really deserved. Mr. White had not concluded his argument when the resolutions were d aside for the day. He will resume his speech to-day and probably will occu- py the entire day. Mr. Mitchell of Wisconsin opened the discussion with a brief speech in opposition to the res- olutions. Among the bills passed was one providing for severe penalties for the malicious injury or destruction of submarine mines, torpedoes, fortifica- tions or other coast defenses. In the Hous: After passing several bills of minor importance the house, in committee of the whole, considered without dispos- ing of a bill to refer to the court of claims, certain claims of persons for property taken or destroyed by the Confederate invasions into the South- ern counties of Pennsylvania. The bill brought on a long debate in which it was vigorously advocated and op- posed. Washington, June 23.—Opponents of the annexation of Hawaii again oceu- pied the attention of the senate. Mr. White of California resumed his Speech begun yesterday, but after speaking two hours yielded the floor to Mr. Pettigrew, who discussed the reso- lutions for an hour and a half, Mr. White has not concluded his speech, Mr. Pettigrew taking up the argument against the resolutions merely to af- ford him an opportunity to rest. The conference report on the Indian appro- priation bill was presented to the sen- ate and read. No effort was made to act on it. It was sharply criticised, however, and the indications are that its adoption will be contested en ac- count of the senates free homestead amendment and the acknowledgment of the right in certain circumstances and conditions of Indians to lease min- eral lands. Washington, June 24.—Discussion in the senate of the Hawaiian annexation question was interrupted by Mr. Raw- lins of Utah, with a speech in which he criticised vigorously the provision em- bodied in the conference report on the Indian appropriation Dill which ac- knowledges the rights of Indians to Jease mineral lands on their reserva- tions. He declared that it was a far graver matter than the annexation of the Hawaiian islands, as it would in- volve the cession to the Indians of mineral rights in territory exceeding 50,000,000 acres of land, not including ‘the Territory of Alaska. He charged that speculators had obtained already Jeases to much of these lands, and if the provision proposed by the commit- tee was adopted the government would lose tens of millions of dollars. The resolution offered by Mr. Jones of Ar- kansas, directing the committee on public lands to investigate the official -conduct of Special Agent C. M. Schlier- hoz, who is charged with unlawfully Seizing timber, was again sonsidered. “The resolution was referred to a com- mittee. At 1 o'clock the Hawaiian res- olution was called up and Mr. Petti- grew of South Dakota resumed his speech in opposition, addressing the «senate about two hours. In the House. At the session of the house further agreements upon the sundry civil bill ‘were reported from the committee on conference and adopted and further conference upon the remaining points in difference was requested. A large number of bills of minor importance were passed and sixty-three pension and relief measures were disposed of pursuant to the recommendations reached last Friday in committee of the whole. Washington, June 25. — The confer- ence report on the bankruptcy bill was disposed of by the senate without de- bate. At the request of senators Mr. Nelson of Minnesota, the author of the senate bankruptcy measure, made a brief explanation of the bill as agreed upon by the conferees. The report was agreed to by a vote of 43 to 13. The Hawaiian annexation resolutions were under discussion throughout the session, except during a brief time when routine business was disposed of. ‘The speakers to-day were Mr. Mc- Enery of Louisiana, who concluded his address begun the day before, and Mr. Turley of ‘Tennessee, who presented a constitutional argument against the resolutions. Three measures designed to facilitate the work of the war de- partment were passed without contro- versy. Washington, June 27. — Late Satur- day afternoon an exciting discussion was precipitated in the senate over a proposition to adjourn until Monday. At the conclusion of a speech by M Turley of Tennessee a futile effort y made to agree upon a time to take a final vote on the annexation resolution. The advocates of the resolution voted down motions to go into executive ses- sion and to adjourn and demanded the regular order. The opponents of an- nexation were determined not to pro- ceed with the debate and for nearly an hour carried on filibustering tactics by entering motion after motion to ad- journ or to go into executive session, and demanding the ayes and nayes on each motion. Special calls of the sen- ate were sandwiched in between the various motions, each, of course, re- quiring a roll call that consumed time, The feeling was becoming every minute more bitter, and the explosion finally came when Mr. Morgan of Ala- bama, a member of the foreign rela- tions committee and an ardent annex- ationist, made an attack upon those who were conducting the filibuster. When the annexation question v laid before the senate Mr. Dav man of the committee on foreign r tions, moved that hereafter until fw ther notice the s m. nate convene at 11 a. It went over under objection. Mr. then promptly moved that when nate adjourn it be until 11 a, m, Monday, and the motion was agreed to 42to 11. Mr. Turley of Tennessee then resumed his constitutional argument against the annexation resolutions. Mr. oraker questioned Mr. Turley’s sition on the point of the c territory. Mr. Foraker walked over to the Democratic side, and, from ing a question, fell into a general dis sion with several of the opposition sen- s concerning the nature of treaties. rgued that in this case it was more legitimate to proceed by means of legislation than by treaty because with the ratification of the treaty it would cease to be binding, as when this should occur one of the parties to the contract would pass out of tence. In the extended colloquy between Mr. oraker on the one side, Mr. Allen of Nebraska, Mr. Clay of Georgia and Mr. Caffery of Louisiana on the other, Mr. Foraker maintained that the annexa- tion of Hawaii was not essentially and executive function. RABIES AMONG CATTLE. Horses and Cows Killed in a Hydro- phobia Seare. Huron, 8. D., June 28.—: Percheron horsesbelonging to William Whitner of Hancock, in the north part of the county, showed signs of hydro- phobia and had to be killed.

The Vesuvius Discovers That the Merrimac Does Not Elock the Channel, Off Santiago, June 28. — It has re- mained for the staunch dynamite cruiser Vesuvius to demonstrate that the entrance to Santiago harbor was not completely blocked by the sinking of the Merrimac. While poking her nose about the entrance of the harbor a few nights ago the Vesuvius discov- ered ample recom in which to pa the wreck of the Merimac. She went in, made observations ~ along the harbor and then came back getting around the wrecked collier without dif- ficulty. It has been ascertained that two battleships can enter the harbor abreast, one passing to the right and the other to the left of the Merrimac. This is an opportunity that will be of great advantage to Admiral Sampson when the final attack on Santiago be- gins. Lieut. Hobson and his men still are in communication with the fleet. There is little prospect that they will be exchanged before the attack on Santiago is made. “ MUST KEEP QUT. British Steamer Ordered Away From San Juan by Capt. Sigsbee. Washington, June 28.—Capt. Sigsbee warned a British ship from seeking to enter the harbor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, on the ground that it was block- aded. No formal notice has yet been given of the blockade of this port, but the captain’s action is in line with the construction of the international law published by the navy department, namely, that a blockade may be in- itiated without formal notice by simply warning from a nayal commander. It is fully expected that this construction will be combatted if the Spanish gov- ernment can interest any of the Euro- pean powers to do so, but the depart- ment is sure of its ground. jarnt > OFF FOR SANTIAGO.
