To the question 'of the rIght to estmate the work wIthout knowing the exact amount . to be done , the judge roped that the ' general average was about correct as In Imo cases the work slightly exceeded the estimates awl In other foil below.

Gray , democrat of Delaware again took the f leer to further answer , he said the Imsy aUacks made In the senate against the ad- m inistratIon. Tire senator referred to the 6tatement by Senator Hawley made yesterday as to tire president's seeing tire royalist dele g allen which visited Washington last August. Mr. Gray reiterated that the president had never seen these delegates , beIng sick al the t ini a . tme. "Are you prepared to MY that they never saw the secretary of state ? " asked Mr. I rye. CONFERRED WITH CONSPIRATORS . Mr. Gray saId ho had no information on that point. Mr Hawley rose to reply hold- Ing i In his hand I newspaper slip contaIning President Cleveland's authorizer statement of the facts concerning the royalist dele- gates , Mr. Hawley said ho had not Intended to maIntaIn that I personal interview be- tween the president and the royalists had occurred , He was reliably informed that there had been no personal meelng , but contInued to read from tire president's Stato- menl .o show that the royalst delegates had seen Secretary Gresham. I should be kept In mInd that these delegates were the representtves of those conspiring to re- store I deposed queen. They were In WashIngton - Ington I either as conspirators against the existing government of HawaI , or else they were hero on an honest mIssion. I It was WIS honest they ought to have been referred to the Hawaiian minister I they were con- aplrtors they should not have been seen by Gresham. . Mr. Hawley read from the letter of the royalist delegates to limo sec- rotary of state : "We the undersigned commissIoners - missIoners , sent by the depose queen , re- quest an interview with the president " "Just thInk of tire audacity , " saId Mr. lr. Hawley. "ThInk of thIs request to our secretary - retary of state . after we had formally recog- nizd the government of hawaii . " The senator said ho desIred to make no personal arraignment of the , president , but he ( Hawley ) believed the president's whole course on Hawaii had been wrong Mr. Gray again answered limo criticisms upon the president ITo sid these attacks were so constant the animus so evident , that Is was perhaps useless to controvert them. Some people seemed to attack the president whatever the subject be. J he sat down he was too long ; I he stood up ho was too short These critics were bound to had fault . The prealdent's letter to tire royalist delegates was purely unofcial ; It was a part of tire course by which tire president , with a steady head ant strong hand was endeavoring to conduct public business. The senator declared this agitation and this talk of keeping warshIps at Honolulu was kept up largely by tire "schemers for annexaton , " who thought it would helll theIr cause. 1 BnOUGIT IN SAMOA. The Samoan question was unexpectedly interjected - terJecte Into the debate at this point. Mr. Gray referred to the fact that tire United States was now bound by international agree- lent to : , cep a barbarous king In power agree In Smmnnoa I would not do to declaim against a barbarous queen when wo were at ( be same king.Mr. tmo protecting and maintaining such a Mr. George declared tire Hawaiian govern- ment was republican only In Loran It was I government of force I had been estb- haired by force arid was 10W , maintained by force. Mr. Lodge presented a new phase of the subJect by sUbmllng a long list of tire Islands - lands In the Pacific which Great Briain hall gradualy absorb d. In pursuance of a set- tied \olcy England was taking every fet of terrItory she could lay hands on They were now tryIng to get Necker labor of tire hawaiian group This was part of the lint- laIr policy of aggression This Drlsh Drl- luenco was back of the royalist element In hawaii . The heIr to tire throne was Princess Kaulanl , daughter of an Englishman , and now being educated In England Her guardian , Thcphlus ) Davis , was an Eliglsh synipa- thlzer , and was to some extent identified with the recent uprisIng of time royalists . "Tho arms used In this uprIsing were bught by an gnglshmsn , " declared Mc . Lodge "They were shipped In a Drltsh ship from ( a Canadian Ilort. The InsurrectonIsts were largely Englishmen . When the Alameda left hawaii fifteen Canadians were under arrest and the Drltsh minister was Interceding In their hreiraif. " This said Mr. l.dge , made out the case that , British thlt Britsh influence was be hind the royalist element In Hawaii. The senator proceeded to criticise the proceeed crltels ac- ton of the administration In taking shIps from Honolulu and then conferring withi the wih royalist delegates who came to Washington. Mr. Lodge thought It a pcular coincident that warships were wlhdrawn In July at the tmo when the royalists arrIve Irene The present administraton was openly and avow- e\ly opposed to tire existing government of hawaii . The speeches of senators In derenso I of the adminIstraton were In effect speeches In support of tire royalsl element of Hawaii . But It was time for action by HawaI. . I was no longer a queston of the new or the old government of hawaii . but a queston of maintaining American interests In Hawaii . The senate had heretofore passed a resolution slatng any foreign occupancy of Hawaii would not be tolerate by the United States . This was a threat L the rest of the world I created I responsibility on tire part of the United States It sbould Impel us to uphold - , hold the existing government , because Is represented - resented American interest al against for- eign 6entlnent.
