V/ITHDREW / IT AT THE PUBLIC'S ' REQUEST Ho Desires n Thorough Invoitlcntlon of All rimaoa of the Situation by the 1'coplo Intorcntod in the atattor. LINCOLN , May 5. ( Special to The Bee. ) Mayor Weir's action In vetoing the telephone ordinance has created so much comment that ho addressed a communication to the press this afternoon in order to explain hit position. The salient points of his com munication are handed to The Bee for repro duction. They are as follows : "There are two sides -to such a question. The company proposes to expend consldera- ' bio money In Lincoln , and of course It should bo done on terms satisfactory to the city and on no other terms , but If an ar bitrary enactment Is made , which the com pany will not accept , the work will not be undertaken , and the city will lese the Im provements proposed , at least for some ttmo to come. I heard several parties say that the company would not accept this ordi nance , and some of the councllmen made the name statement. I certainly am of the opinion that the ordinance will not bo ac cepted , though I know absolutely nothing of the company's intentions. All these points must bo taken Into consideration , and if , after the citizens and the council under stand all the Issues involved , and it is the wish of the general public that the ordi nance become a law , I will withdraw the veto and sign the ordinance. The council can lay the veto over for a week , and In the meantime I have no doubt the papers will open their columns for a discussion of the subject. "I do not bellovo that such a valuable franchise should bo given away , and It any revenue Is to como to the city , should It bo by the free use of telephones or by a tax on each 'phono ? If telephones nre furnished free It should ba done for or during the Ufa of the franchise and not simply for live years. The right to regulate the prices should bo re served , and many similar points considered. But It takes two to make a bargain , and such measures should bo adopted as can bo .X put Into effect and the proposed Improvement ; and. expenditure ot money In the city should not be prevented by legislation that will absolutely block the work , if It Is possible to avoid It. "I do not bellovo the matter should bo controlled entirely by parties who have a rival or competing interest to servo , nor should any dog in the manger policy bo allowed cither on the part at the present company cr that of any now organization. " ROW IN LABOR RANKS. Something of a sensation waa created last night when the Lincoln Labor club , a branch ot the American Federation ot Labor , took up for consideration a resolution haying for Us object the expulsion ot John Currlo from the club. Thp resolution was as follows : Whereas , John Currle , a member of this club , has hewn by his talk on the directs of Lincoln and by Jils foul , false and traitor ous utterances through the State Journal the avowed and unscrupulous enemy of Hi ) honest labor that he la an Injury to tha club unil ims violated the obligation he took when ha became u member : therefore , be U Uesolvtnl , Tlmt John Currltbo dishonora bly expelled from this club and his pres ence ; at the mrctlnc denied , The resolution went over until next week In ordar to give Currlo au opportunity to appear In his own defense. Currlo haa long been a prominent labor agitator , but has. never hurt himself by overwork. Ho was one of the first to Join the. Commonweal movement In this city , presided over the publlo meetings at the time and proudly carried the Hag In the processions that marched through the streets several nights twa weeks ago. At the last election he was the labor candidate for councilman In the First ward. It Is claimed that he aspired to the command of the Lincoln branch of the Commonweal army and that when he was defeated ho became sour on the move ment. RXPELLED V SWITCHMAN. The local lodge of the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen has expelled from Its order E. M. Gardner , a former B. & M. employe In this city. Last year ho became acquainted with a young girl named Conkllng , living with her parents at the corner of Twenty- third and R streets. The young couple were married with considerable haste In order to prevent the disgrace of the girl. They went to housekeeping at 1544 O street. A few days before his young wife was about to become a mother- Gardner decamped , first giving his mother a bill ot sale ot all his household goods. The old lady came around the following day and carted off the furniture , leaving the young wife sick and alone in the bare rooms. She went home to her parents , was forgiven and cared for. Gardner's Inhuman conduct came to the knowledge of his fellow switchmen , and , as a result , he was expelled from the order. Ho has left the country. ADOUT TIIK 1IONAUUJI TKOUHI.nS. Archbishop IIcniic"i < y'n Visit to Hastings rather inll : > h'H Statement. HASTINGS , Neb. , May 4. To the Editor of The Bee : The unhappy events ot the past week , which have shaken the usual peace and good feeling of our city , urge mo at this time to make some statements. His grace , Archbishop Hennessy , came to Hastings last Friday to investigate the Bonacum troubles. Ho went to the Convent of the Visitation and summoned the three of the twenty-two Sisters of the Community who were considered friendly to Bishop Bonacum In the pending controversy. His Investigation ended by taking their testi mony briefly. He informed the sisters then that a meeting ot the members of the congregation was to bo held at a hotel In the city , and that ho must speedily return to see and hear them. The meeting as planned did not materialize. Rive men who are nonpractlcal Catholic } met his grace just as he was about to leave the city and presented a petition that was drawn up by two priests , friends and champions of our bishop. These priests , I am told , OXCUE.O themsolvci for having come Into my parish to do such an unprofessional and dishonora ble act by saying that they were obliged to do so. It Is also said" that the bishop wrote to one of the five others and urged him to act as he did. The meeting was a gorgeous fizzle and the archbishop could not but to regard It. Ho told the committee that they should have more names to their paper and when they got them to send It to him at Dubuquc. Now , some who know how his gracu can deal In sarcasm when ho wishes consider his words as a fitting re buke for the action of these to-called repre sentative men , who , with all the ecclesias tical power at their back , could not In a whole week have mustered moro strength In a city of some 13,000 population. The com mittee , however , took the words of his grace seriously and as a command to go about as a matter of conscience and circulate the pe tition In our clt.v and parish , and thli they have dono. Now I consider All this a gross libel on the archbishop. I know him too well and too favorably to think for a moment that ho would encourage , under the circumstances , the circulating of a petition for my re moval. I resent once and for all , with all the vehemence of Indignant asseveration , such a charge made against one ot our noblest prelates. My congregation and non-Catholic friends want to rUa up in angry thousands against Uie Indignity I have suffered , but for the sake of religion and peace I will not permit U. I have only to say that if the author ities of the church do not soon interpose a remedy and end our ecclesiastical difficulties my cervices hero as a pastor wilt not be needed much longer , and I shall have to servo my God and country In other and happier places , 1 have not seen the petition spoken of , but front what I have heard ot It I moat sin cerely thank , for one thing , the pastors of York and Highland , who left their Hocks and came Into my parish to stir up unchris tian itrlto and frame n petition tor my re moval , that they have not ( mailed my and Wets SPECIAL SALE OF SILKS ftllO VEIVEIS.

Regarding the matter , Mr , MacDonald has written The Dee upon the subject , saying : "This bill Is for two months , and , according to Mr. Qarneau'a coachman. Includes the manure hauled from R. R. Rlngwalt sta bles. I had the same- trouble with Mr. Gar- ncau In February last , 'over the bill for Jan uary , 1894 , and Mr. Qarneau did not pay up until the 3d day of March last , when his bill , Including R. R.

HAWAIIANS OBEY QUEEN LIl Influence of tbo Dusky Deposed Still Strong with Her People , REFUSE TO TAKE THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE Interesting ncRlatratlou Statistics from tha Sandwich Island * Americana Afraid ot Losing Their Homo Citizenship Alao Stand Aloof. HONOLULU , April 28. ( per steahier Au - tralla , via San Francisco , May G. ) The ques tion of the registration of voters la the all- absorbing topic at present. Next Wednes day Is the day set for the election of dele gates to the constitutional convention. The registration closed on the 21st and In Honolulu lulu alone 1,607 have signed the rolla and registered themselves as voters. This , al though seemingly small , Is nevertheless a good showing , yhen the fact that only 2,800 voters registered at the last election In the royalist regime Is considered. As will ba seen by the following statement , only 185 natives have taken the oath of allcglanco to the provisional government. This small na tive vote Is accounted for by the government officials on the ground that the natives have been advised not to register by the ex-queen. Ths following classifies the registration so far as It has gene : Nntlvo and half caste , 185 ; Hawaiian born foreign , 101 ; American , 390 ; English , 193 ; German. 120 ; Portuguese , US ; all others , 93 ; total , 1,507. Complete- returns have not yet been re ceived from the other Islands , but the total registration for the group Is estimated at about 3,000. A largo number of Americana who are supporters of the provisional government have not registered , as they fear they will lese their American citizenship by taking the required oath. Ono of these dis gruntled Americans Is John Emmelutb , a prominent member of the advisory coun cil. Ho has i erased to taku the oath , and It Is supposed ho will bo refused n Heat In the coming convention on that account. The Portuguese have become a strong factor In the election , and have nominated two candi dates of their own , who , from the number of their countrymen who have registered , will probably be elected. The Japanese scare has subsided. The llttli ) brown men have been loat sight ot during the last two weeks , but they evi dently expect to como to the surface after the convention. L. A. Thurston , the Hawaiian minister tp Washington , U hero and will remain until after the conttltutlonal convention.
