miliar faces hero In Washington than Mr.
Celso Ciesar Moreno , a distinguished Italian
soldier , und whilom minister of stuto for
| Hawaii. For many yours Mr. Moreno wus
King Kulukun's inostjtrnsted uml Intimate
friend , but some yours ago there wits a revolt
which resulted in the overthrow of tlio Moreno
rnlo and the subsequent busty departure of
Mr. Moreno. Ho bus never quite given up
tlio hope of getting buck to Hawaii , iindwhllu
hero Is incidentally trying to collect * l."i,000
which ho claims the government owes him.
Several little revolutions in which ho bus
hud morej or less interest have failed , and
up to today the missionaries , whowcro ] sent
there to Christianize tlio ] > cople , but nro now
running the politics of the place , have kept on
top. They uro in supreme control , mid it is
tigulnst them that Mr. Moreno's efforts uro
primarily directed.
Mr. Moreno Is In constant communication
with Ids friends in Hawaii. At the head of
iho opposition Is Robert Wilcox , u native Ha
waiian , who bus been thoroughly educated
abroad. One of Mr. Wilcox's first acts when
ho returned homo some six months ago wus to
start up an armed revolution against the mis
sionary .rule , but the Christian missionaries
whipped him , und ho hud un exceedingly
close call for his life. Ho was condemned to
death , butpubllesentiment proved too'strong ,

The ministry very wisely li > wcd to publlo
sentiment. The pillows wcro taken" doyn ,
and Mr. Wilcox will go to the legislature ,
there to make life u burden to the ministry.
There have : been some Interesting letters
passing between Wilcox , who is now in Ha
waii , and Moreno , who is still hero In Wash

ton for having betrayed the confidence of the
Hawaiian king ami people in framing and pro
poning a treaty in IRS'J to the American gov

Islands to the United Stntcs.
"Minister A. 1' . Curler Is the public laugh

aim in the nbovo-mcnttoncd treutv of annexa

in-hiw , Judd , both senators to the United

of Hawaii , and he ( Carter ) uml his missionary

"I liuvo good reasons to believe that Presi

Minister Carter in his annexation scheme
against the will of the'Hawaiian king nnd his
people , but they and their party will prevent
any other nation , us it was done hi Samoa , to
take possession of its Hawaiian islands.
Therefore tlio Hawuiiun independence and

by the ( K'rfcctly legitimate means ; that of n
vote of "luck nf confidence" it , cannot , of
course , interfere. But if It should ever occur
to Mr. Moreno or his friends to organize mi
armed force , or in any way form plans looking - '
ing to the disturbance of the peace of Hawaii ,
thn department will interfere in the most de
cisive manner. Meantime it will bo of interest
to wait for tlio proceedings of the next ses-
r.ion of the Hawaiian parliament.
With singular uml significant , regularity it
has been the custom of the two houses of con
gress to dlvldoupon important issues that Is ,
the scnuUi is fur uwuy from the position ot'
the house , and vice versa. If the house de
cides to appropriate a certain sum of monev
for u stipulated pur | > ese the senate is dead
sure to fix another amount. If the scnuto
concludes to declare a forfeiture of u curtain
number of acres of railroad land , the house
with strict regularity fixes the figures differ
ently. 1 f thn house provides for the construc
tion of a certain number of warships or cruis
ers , tlio sciuito is sure to decide that the
number shull bo different. When the senate
the other day passed the dependent pension
bill llxlng the pensions at $ lj : a month , the
house said it should be AS. When the house
committee adopted n food adulteration bill ,
the senuto commlttoo roportoU u measure of
general character. When thn senate commit
tee on Indian affairs made certain stipula
tions by which tribes of Indians were to yield
up their ifsPiTutinns for public settlement ,
the house committee fixed different terms ,
and terms very materially different. So It
goes. The two houses como together and
make un agreement only after negotiations
and many suorltieos. The senate generally
bus Its own way , however.

This ( luestlon has boon turned over and
over again many times In the minds of states
men , logicians and business men in Washing
ton wlio Imvo hud un opportunity to sou the
comimuvn conmcttng workings of the two
houses of congress. The conclusion is that
ono body is elected by the jiooplo direct ,
while the other Ixuly is elected by delegated
IKiwor. The members of the house have to
account directly to their constituents for
action or Inaction , while the senators nro uc-
couutublo to members of legislatures , men
who are more or less politicians.
The fact that there Is a givut and material
dliToivncc. between the individual uml col
lective actions of members of the two houses
has done more to bring about the belief hero
that the senators should be elected by tlio
direct vote of the jiooplo than unvthlng rise.
A senator Is u much mom Independent pcrson-
ugu than a member of the house. It docs not
necessarily follow that ho exorcises any
more inllucncn than a member of
the houso. It is true that the semite
is a more dlgnlllod body , and a senator a more
dignified person ; but this grows out of the
fact that one is a direct representative of tlio
people and niomlxT of u body of lUte , whllo the
other is a delegated ivprettontatlvo of the

lie is sure to bo cursed if ho supports a
measure and damned if ho does not. It is not
the farming interests against the city and cor
poration interests alone that bring about
these conllicts. The farmers are divided up
when they attempt to stand for or against a
% ousure , and there is scarcely u ward in any
city of the United States where u great ma
jority favor or oppose a measure of general
Interest. Prominent men in congress repre
senting " 11 parties are wondering what this
all means. Mont of them conclude it is
the outcropping of a stringent money mar
ket and a pint In the markets for farm pro
ducts ; conllicting interests and divisions
among laborers ; the split on the UirilT and in
ternal revenue and a general contention over
political economy. The circumstances all con
sidered it will bo a wonder if the work of this
congress will please the majority of the people

John A. Collins , u Pucille coast pioneer and
a national character , died in this city on
Thursday. Ills career was marked by Inci
dents of unusual Interest. Born in Vermont
in 1SIO , tie began toenrn u living at the print
ing trade when twelve yours of ago. Ho
worked for two yeum with Horace Oroeloy ,
whoso close friendship ho enjoyed for u lung
time.
Collins entered the Andover Theological
seminary to prepare himself for the ministry ,
and whllo there. Ids mind turned to tlio then-
sopliy of .spiritualism , and bo became u be
liever. Ho was licensed to prouch , und occu
pied u pulpit ut different times , but devoted
( its best energies to the anti-slavery move
ment. Ho was u co-worker with Phillips ,
Garrison. Burloigli and Smith and an acout
of th < i anti-slavery society Ho went to linff-
law , where ho took part in the corn law agi
tation. Through his efforts Frederick Doug
lass wus brought to the front. Mr. Collins
organized the Skaiieatclos community in Now
York , devoted to co-operative industry. In
184il lie came to the coast and soon became
rich. Ho subsequently met with many re
verses , but had the good will of the people of
this state and Nevada , where ho held minor
ofllces. Ho followed the profession of law in
San Francisco.
Dr. Oronhyiitoklia , supreme chief ranger of
the order of Foresters , and editor of the
ofileiul organ of that society , arrived in the
city a day or so ago from his homo in Toronto ,
Canada. The doctor stands high in the medi
cal profession , despite the fact that ho is u
Mohawk Indian. Ho is ut the head of thosix
great tribes which were formerly located in
western Now York , but nro now in Canada.
Ho was ono of the delegation to receive tlio
Prince of Wales in ISlil , attracted the atten
tion of the prince and returned with him to
England , where ho wus educated ut Oxford
college. Lust evening Dr. Oronhyatekhn
stated that his visit to the coast wus onofllciul
business connected with the Independent
Order of Foresters. Ho will leave on Tues
day for Los Angeles , where ho will institute
the High Court of Foresters of this state.
He will then visit Victoria. Portland , Van

served u number of small fishing craft rowed
bv Italians under the wharves below the for-
rfes. His suspicions were aroused us to the
intentions of tlio fishermen , and he deter
mined to watch their movements. As a re
sult of the Investigation ho learned that the
Italians were what are culled mussel gatherers -
ors , and their object in paddling about the
wharves was to gather mussels from the piles
to bo disposed of In the markets and restaur
ants , notwithstanding tliut wood mussels uro
known to bo very unwholesome , if not iwison-
ous. Ono of the fishermen confessed that ho
wus gathering thn mussels for sale , but tried
to excuse himself on the ground that the
weather wus too rough outside the heads to
gather rock mussels. Thowutcr-front oflleiuls

Mullln then went on the road and consorted
with the Smith woman again in Omaha , uml
Hho traveled with him. At Heno , Nov. , she
induced him to revoke his former benellciary
