HAWAIIAN DEBATE CONTINUED General Sicklc3 Believes the Islands Should Be Annexed to the I'uited States. Associated Press. Washington, Feb. G. In the senate the bill repealing the federal elections law was taken up. Hawley, of Connecti cut, spoke In opposition. By unanimous consent the time of the, vote on the bill repealing the federal elections law was postponed until S p. m.. tomorrow. Voorhees was authorized to prepare a statement of the reasons actuating the committee. It Is understood he will say that In the present condition of the business of the country, time Is an es sential element In the settlement of the tariff question, and the committee could not allow the hearing to go on In definitely, and could not cut them off In the middle without doing Injustice to some interests. ' The republicans will probably make a vigorous protest and will likely ask to have the bill recom mitted. Several senators who had not hit fcei to spoken desired mi opportunity to be heard, and by unanimous consent the time of the general debate was extend ed until 3 o'clock tomorrow. The chief event of the day was a speech by Mr. Frye, defending the official course and character of Chief Supervisor Daven port, of Now York city, and refuting the alleged slanders and calumny which he said had been heaped upon him by the democratic party for twenty years. Voorhees" statement as to the reasons for refusing hearltiL's on the Vllson bill sets forth that "prompt and speedy nctlpn on the pending tariff leglslatdon Is . required at this time by every patri otic and business consideration. We are determined that business men of the country of all classes shall at a very early day have a full and clear Insight Into the laws of tariff taxation which shall hereafter prevail. The privilege of hearing would be unlimited as to tlino and become an Instrument of delay more formidable than filibustering. Al ready more than a million circulars, em bracing Interrogatories touching every branch of business known In the census of 1890, have been addressed from all Industries, and abundant streams of In formation are pouring In for use In the senate. Tho whole subject Is very fa miliar to the American mind, and needs no further elucidation than will be In cident to full and free debate. The coun try needs action." HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. Washington, Feb. 6. In the house, Ellis, of Oregon, asked unanimous con sent for consideration of the senate bill to extend the time allowed the Umatilla Irrigation Company for the completion of Its canal across the Umatilla reser vation, Oregon. The bill passed. After tho call of committees for reports tho Hawaiian debate was resumed, Outh waite, democrat, of Ohio, taking the floor In support of the McCreary resolu tion. Sickles, democrat, of New York, made the first speech on the democratic side agalnsi the McCreary resolution. The Hawaiian debate waa concluded today, but the entire resolution was not passed because of the failure of the democrats to procure a quorum when a vote was taken upon it. Much less op. position from the democratic slue de veloped than was at one time antici pated. Only one speech, that of Gen. tickles, waa made in opposition to the adoption of the resolution, although there waa some pusslve opposition on ihe democratic side, Indicated by the refusal of several democrats to answer to their names when the resolution was placed upon Its passage. The hitt sub stitute, the Blair amendment, and the motion of Reed to recommit were In turn voted down, when upon adoption' of the entire resolution the republicans refrained from voting and the demo-; crats lacked 17 of a qorum. Cummings I voted for Reed's motion to recommit, j and Sickles against the McCreary reso lution, Cummings, Geary, of California, and Cockrell, of Texas, refused to go on record for or against the adoption of the resolution. The populists voted gen erally with the republicans. Broderick, of Kansas, was the only republican who .lecllned to follow tho lead of hlsarty and refrain from voting. He voted against the resolution. When the demo rrats found themselves without a quorum, they passed a resolution revok ing the leaves of alwvire, an.iir.in ni i..i,rnci1. They expect to have a quorum pwH-ent'whta. the house meets tomor.j r,w ' " 1 Speaking fin the resolution. Gen. Pli-Wes demot-rnt. of New YorK, saia: "I do not agree, with the resolution and I will not vole for it As long ago as 1850 I heard Gov. Maray say tho. f.ind' wlch Islands should not belong to any other power and would eventually be long the United States. I agreed with him then, and agree, with him now." The hour of 3:30 having arrived, a vote was taken on the first motion pending, which was the majority reso lutlon. offered by McCreary, condemning the action of Minister Stevens and approving the president's .Hawaiian policy. The second is Hltt's minority resolution offered as a substitute, cen ,nir the president's attempt to over throw the provisional government and restore the monarchy; also, Blair's sub stitute declaring for annexation. The Blair substitute was lost 77 to 153. The Hltt resolution was lost 102 to 162. Upon the announcement of the vote Reed moved to recommit the report of the committee with the accompanying resolutions, with instructions to investi gate all assertions of fact. Lost 98 to 100. Tho question was then upon the adoption of the McCreary resolution. The republicans, excepting Broderick, of Kansas, refused to answer to their names, and the populists also declined to vote,. The democrats lucked seven teen of a quorum. McCreary immedi ately moved a call of the house. Reed followed up his filibustering program by forcing roll call upon this motion. A call of the house was ordered. The call developed the presence of 245 -members. The democrats were chafing a great deal under the sarcastic remarks of Reed. McCreary presented a rttoliillon to revoke all leaves of absences except those granted on account cf sickness, i.nd instructing the sergeant-at-arms to telegraph absent members and request their attendance. The resolution was adopted without division, and at 6:33 the house adjourned. REMOVED FROM OFFICE. Olymplo, Feb. 6.

Great enthusiasm has been aroused In Kansas City, Kan., by an innovation which may bo commended to the per- . dons who are Intent upon Introducing physical culture in the already over crowded curriculum of the publlo schools. This Is . no less important a. matte rthan the fitting out of all the. achooi buildings with bath tubs. It Its .-elated graphically of the advocate of chla'measure, who Is a pious man wlth d.1, that "he puts his entire Sunday jchool to soak the glrla before Sunday .school and the boys after in a larga iiutatorium filled with lukewarm watcr in tho winter and cool water in tha summer.' ' Now hero is an examplei worth emulating. The Importance txf tho oath may be rated as even superior to that of the gymnasium. Cleanliness be- , ing next to godliness, and being thua supported from .both the physical and,' the moral side, and thlB requirement be ing at the same time shamefully neg lected by many parents and children. Is it not the plain duty of the school authorities to Introduce tho natatorluna In tho publlo school building, and to put the different grades to soak during the week under the supervision of an Inspector of aquatics? This Is Just as serious a matter, Just asi logical, Just as defensible by tho asser tion of a public need, as the teaching of gymnastics. Indeed, it Is much more reasonable than that; for any child caa take a bath, and there is little danger, of injury; whllo physical culture, In the harum-scarum way that it must b taught without a properly equipped) gymnasium' In every building and n scientifically trained instructor to lookj after the pupils, is pretty sure to dct. more harm than good. The really pro gressive educator will place upon hl standard the bath tub as a symbol of reform. It Is stuff like this which casta discredit upon tho real advances and discoveries In which the world of edu cation Is so rich. The average man and woman mixes them up hopelessly, and Is Just as likely- to characterize the kin dergarten a "fad" and to' fall down In worship of the physical culture chimera, and the free bath tub as the ideals of education. We expect yet td see tha bath tub striding over the land In tri umph, and marking boards of education for its own. DR. CHAPMAN'S LECTURE. The last of Dr. Chapman's lecturcH, that upon the' poet Shelley, was lis tened to with close attention by an au dience of undiminished number whr came out in spite of the storm and darkness.
