Hawaiian Treaty Edged Out by Senate Action
In Washington the Senate spent four hours debating amendments to the Legislative Appropriation bill then passed it with amendments and called for a House conference on the disagreeing votes. A motion to enter executive committee failed, and the vote signaled that the session would not act on the Hawaiian treaty. With 21 yeas and 26 nays, all Democrats opposed and a few Republicans with a Populist, the treaty was effectively shelved for the session. The outcome casts doubt on any action before the extra session.
