votsd with I I the Democrats and by n singular coIncidence co-Incidence this one vote carried the resolution j res-olution as it would have failed on a tie had the vote been on strict party I lines The action today practically disposes dis-poses of the Hawaiian question in the Senate although it is exp t J to receive re-ceive attention from time to time on tme the various pending resolutions criti cising the administration csing te administraton I A dramatic episode was injected into the early proceedings o the day by a spirited reply from Mr Lodge of MES rachusetts and Mr Frye of Maine t I the criticisms of Mr Mills of Texas yesterday who allege that mercenary motives inspired New England senators sena-tors in their support of Hawaii I Mr Frye was particularly severe in his arraignment of Mr Mills but peace was restored later in the day toy I mutual explanations An arrangement c < reached that the bankruptcy bill should have the right of way until disposed dis-posed of 1 The Senate journal of yesterdays i proceedings was so voluminous relating relat-ing to the Nicaragua bill that immediately im-mediately after the gavel fell Mr Kyle Populist of North Dakota secured se-cured unanimous consent to dispense cure Its reading senator Hoar Republican of Massa ucetts asked that the rules of the T Senate be considered to permit the presence of memberselect of he House on the floor of the Senate Mr Harris Democrat of Tennessee Jn rule the char said that such was the ruleMr Mr Hoar said that some of the doorkeepers door-keepers did not so understand and so the senator declared that at his request the privilege should be extended Mr Allen Populist of Nebraska presented a resolution authorizing the secretary of the treasury to exercise Ills discretion in redeeming l forms I of paper currency in silver as often as he is convinced that a systematic effort is being made t deplete the gold reserve re-serve and force an issue of bonds The resolution went over under the rules Mr Mitchell Republican of Oregon offered l amendment to the sundry civil bH providing for an investigation investiga-tion by the treasury department of the destruction of the eggs of game fowls in the upper Rocky mountain region and in Alaska Lodge and Frye Reply to Mills 11 Lodge Republican of Massachusetts Massa-chusetts then rose to reply to the remarks re-marks of 3tr Mills that New England senators held Hawaiian bonds which was said to be the motive inspiring New Ens nd senators In their interest inter-est for the Hawaiian republic Mr Lodge declared that the bond story was a falsehood The original statement state-ment purported to be ased on a letter let-ter in the possession of 3 Democratic nator Mr Lodge expressed a doubt a to this and said it would be Q easy tnlng to produce the letter t Mr Frye of Maine followed Mr LJge anil it soon became evident that the New England senators were I deeply incensed Mr Frye is one of the most bitterly sarcastic speakers In I II hl Senate and it is seldom he has shown his mastery of this line of attack at-tack so effectively Mr Frye read with ironical emphasis the original harges that a Democratic senator had I received a letter from Hawaii charging charg-ing that cheap bonds were being floated In New Engtand and this was the motive mo-tive behind the enthusiasm of the New < England senators for Hawaii He 4 paused f < > a moment before he finished fin-ished reading the charge Then turning turn-ing to the Democratic side he said If any Democratic senator now present has l such a letter task him to sen < t to the clerks desk and have it read The Democratic senators looked atone at-one another but there was no reply H ° proceeded I thu senator is not here then I will ask him when he comes to produce that letter Mr Frye turned his attention to the detailed cnarges made i1 the original article quoted by Mr Mills and pronounced pro-nounced them false throughout He then referred to an editorial appearing i in a New York morning paper today 4 There is intimation made jn this I c article of some peculiar disclosures likely early to come as to certain New England senators proceeded Mr Frye The names of FIe and Boutelle and I think Senators Lodge and Hawley are used with such suggestive absence and mixture of given names as to avoid a direct charge So far as the Frye family of Maine is concerned there is but one that I know of and I belong to it itMr Mr Frye had moved out into the middle aisle and was directly addres mij siig the Democratic senators Perhaps he continued slowly and with galling bitterness perhaps some Democratic senator will present me a letter that I am the one who has received re-ceived Hawaiian bonds in consideration of my action here A Dramatic Scene At this point came the most dramatic event in the senators speech He read tram the report of Mr Mills speech wherein the latter suggested that i would t e well to have a senatorial investigation in-vestigation of these charges against Kew England and other senators I had hoped the senator who made that suggestion would Tie here I wish he were in the Senate now Then raising his voice until it rang through the chamber he added But I now charge in the absence of tIle senatorI make the charge so he vill read i in the Record tihat he conveyed this information to the New Tork correspondent that he is himself the Democratic senator who has the letter There was intense stillness through the chamber I The absence of this senator prevents pre-vents me from saying more I will say the rest in his presence I expect him to say to the Senate whether he gave this information to the correspondent nether he has any information as to New Englands senators having Hawaiian bond interests I Mr Fry declared that the only in ehteGaess of the Hawaiian government govern-ment held outside of Hawaii vas el 00000 of bonds held in England which command 103 and which the people of Hawaii have tried in vain to get back so as to hold them themselves Mr Frye then returned to the per sonal question between himself and Mr Mills who had returned to the chamber Mills Denies I Mr Mills denied in reply to one of these questions that he had given the information on which the New York newspaper article was founded 1 that he had any such information in his possession until he saw the same story published upon which statement the Maine senator said he would withdraw with-draw the charge he had previously made in the absence of Mr Mills Mr Frye then demanded tof know whether Mr Mills was correctly reported re-ported in suggesting an investigation in view of the charge that Mr Frye had bought Hawaiian bonds a 2r cents on the dollar and was an annexationist for the purpose of enhancing their value to which Mr Mills replied I think T did say something of that kind but I said it in a spirit of playfulness ulness I surely should not thought of charging him with anything so sordid sor-did and mean Replying to hS > Mr Frye said he Repling had supposed 11e and Mr Mills had znown each other long enough f leah l-eah to know whether the other would steal and that dropped the contro versv and the vote was taken on the Vest substitute amendment which rpI suited in its adoption by a vote of 2i Ito I-to 22 the vote being a follows Bate Blackburn Blanchard YeasBate BJalburn Blnchard Caffrey Butler Call Cockrell
