WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. ( Special Tele
gram. ) There. Is little or no hope for Davis *
resolution reaffirming the Monroe doctrine ,
Senator Davis having stated that close In
vestigation showed that the democrats would
, vote almost solidly against the resolution
as prepared by the committee on foreign
rolat'ons , with a number ot republicans also
committed against It. In cansequenco of jthls
unexpected turn of the legislative wheel ,
there is some question , ns to whether It
would not be wisdom to allow the bill to
languish on the calendar , although Senator
Wolcott will address the senate tomorrow
on th's subject , upon which he has most
pronounced opinions. Ho Is openly against
the resolution.
Congressman Halner waa heard for the
first lime this sctislon today on the urgent
deficiency bill , Congressman Henderson of
Iowa yielding to him that ho might explain
the purport of the Stone bill , providing that
United States commissioners , marclmls nnd
deputies should bo salaried officers , and
that no fees should attach , Mr. Halner de
fending the bill as ono of merit
Ropnsentatlvc Mercer was before the com
mittee on military affairs today relative to
the Fort Omaha reservation bill , nnd from
a talk had with members believed ho an
pass the bill , even though Adjutant General
'Batcheldar ' Is openly opposed to Its provi
sions. An effort will bo made by Mercer to
accura the secretary of war's sanction to the
Ivf bill , to whom It was referred for Information.
To this end Mercer will go bcforo the secre
tary tomorrow.
Representative Strode Introduced the fol
lowing bills : Granting a pension to Silas S.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. An immense
tract of valuable land In Iowa , whoo pos
session hap boon In dispute for many years ,
la Involved In a report to Secretary Hoke
Smith , received today from Robert K. Boyer ,
the special commissioner appointed to in
vestigate the hundreds of conflicting claims
known as the DCS Molnes river land grant
claims. A prior Investigation was made in
1892 , but was renewed and the work largely
extended by the discovery of many filings
In the DCS Moines land office , of which no
record can bo found at the Interior depart
ment. There were 526 applications filed for
itho lands , and In the Investigation a great
number of witnesses were examined. All
the claims , which wcro considered separately ,
are listed and the aggiogate amount of those
cauci In which Indemnity should be awarded
nearly consumea the present appropriation ,
out of which all claimants Insisted they wcro
entitled to payment.
Commissioner Doyer gaye a liberal con
struction to the act under which he was
appointed. In cases where the paramount
tltlo had been purchased the commissioner
uniformly accepted the prices stated In the
contract of sale or deed , unless It appeared
from the evidence that that sum was not
the true consideration. In some cases the
title had been purchased and afterward the
land convoyed to a third party. The In
demnity Is awarded to him who purchased
while he held the government title. In
castK where claimant purchased first the
paramount tltlo and afterward for some rea-

demnity Is refused. In all cases
whcro tha paramount title has
beenpurchased the report cites the reason

are itlll in possession , or at the tlmo of

attorneys' fees by claimants In defcnso of
government title in suits brought by the
grantees and assignees under the act of
1840 ; for Interest nnd for value of mineral

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. The prediction Is
freely made by members of the house com
mittee on foreign affairs that If the proposed
reifllrmatton of the Monroe doctrine is
adopted by the senate and sent over to the
house for action It will bo allowed to reel
quietly In the commltteo files. A canvass of
more than n majority of both republican
and democratic members of the committee
failed to discover any member who en
dorsed It. Courtesy to their colleagues of
the senate Impels the members of the com
mltteo In the house to refrain from putting
themselves on record In Interviews as op
posing the resolution , but in conversation they
do not hesitate to crltlclre the verbiage
of It and to deprec'ate ' the policy which brings
It forward at this particular time. Ono of the
foremost authorities on diplomatic matters
In the house said ho deemed It very poor
diplomacy to. take any steps tending to In
crease the tenolon between this government
and Great Britain in what practically
amounted to a crisis. The committee mem
bers think It will bo better policy to side
track the resolution without any demonstra
tion of disapproval than to make an ad versa
report upon It to the house. They say it
will be Impolitic to evoke any appearance of
discord In congress upon a 'question of foreign
policy , and that If the concurrence la not to
be secured for the resolution , nnd they be
lieve It will not-be , the frlctlbn over It should
bo minimized.
IU3SUMITION 0V SILVER COINAGE.
ElRhtreii Million Dollnrn to lie Aililctl
< the ClrtMiliUlon.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. About February
1 the Treasury department will resume the
co'nago cf silver dollars and continue until
about $18,000.000 have been coined. When
the prcient administration came Into power
there were In the treasury about $29,000,000
In silver dollars coined from bullion under
the act of 1S90 and available for the re
demption of treasury notes Issued In pay
ment of the bullion purchased. Sines August ,
1S93 , abcut $18,000,000 of these notes have
been redeemed in silver dollars and can
celed. The secretary of the treasury has
now decided to coin from the bullion now
on hand and purchased under the act of
1S90 about $18,000,000 , which will restore
the amount of dollars In the treasury to
what It was on March 4 , 1S93. The average
cost of the silver bullion purchased under
the Sherman act was 71',4 cents on the del
lar.which leaves a ga'n or seigniorage of
2S % cents on the dollar. At this rate the
seigniorage on the $18,000,000 to be coined
would bo $5,130.000 , which will be accounted
for In the available cash on hand , Increas
ing It by that amount. The order for the
msnmipjl0t1 ot the colnaee at the mints at
l nitadelphfa , New Orleans and San Francisco
Is expe-cted In n day or two.

llllt Will I'r.Mlitp for n Sntnllrr Suli-
Milr tlinn Aakril Knr.
WASHINGTON Jan. 21. From the action
of the house committee on commerce todny
( hero necms to be little doubt that a bill
authorizing the Pacific Cable company to
lay a cable from the Pnclflc coast to the
Hawnllun Islands and Japan will be favorably
reported within a short time. The com
mittee directed a subcommittee to prepare
n bill embracing certain changes considered
desirable from the bill outllne-1 by the com-
mlttos. There will bo also a conference be
tween member * and the State department
officials regarding arrangements for a cable
station on the Marshall Islands , which ore
owned by Germany.
The principal points of difference between
the < cable company and the committee are
the amount of government subsidy to ba
granted and the tlmo lo ba allowed for
laying the cable. It Is proposed by the
company to have the cable working to the
Hawaiian Islands In clchtecn months and
completed to Japan In three years. The
bill to be drafted will reduce this lime. The
tubsldy asked Is $180,000 a year for a term
of twenty years , the government to have the
free use of the cable In that time. In the
course of the discussion It was argued that
the subsidy asked wai too large In view
nt the estimated cost of the work , $0,600,000
to $7,000,000 , and the probable amoirht of
government business , which the committee
estimated at $20,000 to $30,000. The sugges
tion was also entertained that subsidies
might be granted by the Japanese govern
ment nnd possibly China. The bill to bo
framed will probably reduce the subsidy.
It will also embrace conditions to secure
to the United States government the right
of way In thp use of the cable.
James S. Scrymser , president , and E. L.
Ilayllss , vlco president of the company , have
written Chairman Hepburn accepting .sug
gestions made by the commltteo that the
company shall deposit In the > treasury $100-
000 In bonds to bo forfeited in case It falls
to complete the work within the specified
Urn ? , that the rates between the United
States and the Island of Ohua shall not
exceed 76 cents per word and $1.60 to Japan
and China ; also that after twenty years
government messages shall be carried at
press rates , not to exceed one-quarter of
business rates. "
Mr. Dennett of New York has asked Sec
retary Olncy for an opinion whether It will
be necessary to make a treaty with the Ger
man government to secure the right to es
tablish a cable station on the Marshall
Islands.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. Mr. Call , demo
crat of Florida , presented a now phase of the
Cuban question In the senate today. Ho read
a telegiMin from Key West as follows :
"Mnrquls Hoderlgucz was taken from
steamer Olivette last Wednesday ; Louis
Samnlllcn and son aim taken prisoners ; all
American citizens. Get them out of grasp
of Spanish authorities. "
Mr. Call offered n resolution reciting the
arrests and directing the executive authori
ties to ascertain If any Just cause tor the or-
lest existed , and If not to demand their Im
mediate release.
Mr. Hoar suggested that the tone of the
resolution was too Imperative. There seemed
to bo an Idea , Mr. Hoar said , that the senate
of the United States Is a constantly loaded
cannon which may bo touched off nt any time
by a senator. The senator urged an Inquiry
by the State department before a demand.
Mr. Call answered that ho wished to know
whether the American flag afforded any pro
tection to Its citizens. He referred to the
arrest of Americans In Cuba , while citizens
of other countries were not disturbed.
Mr. Sherman pointed out that such a reso
lution might give the senate trouble In other
cases. It should go to the committee on for
eign relations for appropriate consideration.
Mr. Call said It was the duty of the pjnalo
to act on such Information as this telegram
gave. He desired the people to know he
was ready to act promptly , although ho did
not object to committee consideration.
Mr. Cullom. republican of Illinois , a mem
ber 'of the committee on foreign relations ,
stated that ho understood that there w.ould
bs a communication from the secretary of
state , perhaps today , as to the arrest ot
United States citizens In Cuba , "and as to the
general subject. " He urged , therefore , that
there was no haste.
Mr. Hoar suggested that If this dispatch
was shown to the- secretary of state he would
Immediately take appropriate action.
Mr. Call answered that ho had already
called the attention ot the secretary to the
subject. But the senator regarded It as the
duty of the senate to act Independently of
the executive branch. It was finally agreed
that the resolution go to the committee on
foreign relations.
Mr. Call again returned to the Cuban sub
ject by asking Mr. Sherman what was to be
done ns to another pending resolution asking
the State department for the Information fur
nished by United , States consuls In Cuba.
Mr. Sherman replied that ho regarded the
resolution Inexpedient. It might endanger
the consuls and thousands of lives If con
fidential communications were made public.
The senate should not attempt to dr w mys
teries If there were mysteries from the
State department at. a , time , ot war. Such
action was needless unless the secretary of
state were not doing his duty , which was not
apparent.
Mr. Call did not further press his resolu
tion. , , .
PUGH RESOLUTION WENT OVER.
Mr. Pugh's resolution concerning silver
piyments of the government obligations was
allowed to go over.
Bills were passed for the .selection of lands
within Fort Pemblna military reservation ,
North Dakota , by that state ; granting a
pension of $50 a month to the widow of
Rear Admiral English , and the establish
ment of rules nnd regulations for the navi
gation of United States canals and similar
works of navlgat'on. '
The silver bond bill was laid aside , to per
mit bills on the calendar to bo passed. '
The following bills were passed : For the
collection ot fees and furnishing certificates
to vessels ; authorizing certain persons to
accept decorations from the Hawaiian gov-
nrmncnt ; amending the statute fixing the
time for vessels to unload ; settling the claims
of United States Indian Agent Mastron ;

pany a right of way through the Collvllle

WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. Chaplain Couden
In the house today Invoked the divine guid
ance for Clara Barton of the Red Cross In the
efforts of that organization for the relief of
the suffering Armenians.
A bill was passed approving various acts
of the territorial legislature of Now Mexico ,
authorizing several Issues of bonds aggre
gating $155,000. By the terms of the Harrl-
ion act , the territory cannot contract Indebt
edness exceeding 1 per cent of its taxable
value without the sanction of congress.
On motion of Mr. Hllborn , republican of
California , a resolution wag adopted calling
on the secretary of the treasury for Informa
tion as to the cause of the delay In the prose
cuting of the work on the San Francisco
public building.
Mr. Crisp at this point arose to Inquire
what had become of the report from the
committee on rules which was under con
sideration a week ago , and which had not
yet been disposed of. Ho called attention
to the fact that certain , amendments agreed
to were being enforcM'licrbro the report as a
whole has been ngrcHit to , At the proper
time ho give notlcs c { l\ ) \ * , Intention to offer
a substitute for the entire report.
Mr , Dalzell cxplilnetl'Um the > matter would
bo brought up later , after a further meeting
of the committee on rules ,
The house then , nt 1:20 : , went Into com
mittee of the whole dlttl'look ' up the consid
eration of the urgent dffcloncy bill.
Mr , Cannon , chairman ot the appropria
tion committee , mad * H'slntemwit ' nnd called
especial attention toulhh enormous deficit
of ? 3,2 < 2GS2 for the Mncnsej of the United
States courts , which showed on abnormal
growth of this branch 'bT'lths public servlc !
of more than 100 per tflnt. There was , he
declared , urgent neco slly for a reform.
The feu system ot.gni ' 'u be > abolished and
fixed salaries provldttfr for United States
district attorneys and , United States mar
shals.
Mr. Sayers , democrat of Texas , agreed
with Mr. Cannon * s to the pressing ne
cessity for reform. Unless the present sys
tem wa changed the expenses ot United
States marshals and United States com
missioners would Increase year by year to
an enormous extent ,
Mr. Henderson , republican of Iowa , said
that In the Ust congreis the Stone bill had
been prepared but had fallen , ho had btcn
Informed , of Its own weight , It having been
found on examination that the salaries pro
vided by It would exceed the expenses under
the present system.
Mr. Halner , republican of Nebraska , chal
lenged Mr. Henderson's statement as to the
Stone bill. That bill , .lie said , would pro
duce considerable reduction of expenditure ? .
It had been relntroduccd and would be
pressed at this session , A proposition In the
bill to buy the present site ot the United
States leg.itlon . nt Toklo , Japan , for $16,000 ,
was criticised by Mr. Mercer , republican of
Nebraska , as exorbitant.
Mr. Hltt Inveighed against haggling with
n government for a site. The Japanese gov
ernment. ho said , had repeatedly offered to
give UB Uio property , but wo could not ac1-
cept It with self-respect. If wo did , he Bald ,
wo would be compelled In reciprocation to
present the Japanese government legation
property In Washington.
Mr. McRao , democrat ot Arkansas , offerej
an amendment to allow each committee ap
pointed under the act of the last congress
to segregate mineral from agricultural lands
In Montana and Id-iho a surveyor.
Mr. Hartman ot Montana urged the neces
sity for surveyors In connection with the
committees.
Mr. Cannon made a point against the
amendment and the chair sustained It.
An amendment appropriating $5,000 for sur
veying and allotting lands of the Chlppowa
Indian reservation was adopted.
Some ot Comptroller Bowler's rulings wore
made the basis of criticism In connection
with an amendment offered by Mr. Dins-
nx > re , democrat of Arkansas , for the pay
ment of the salaries due James V. Walker ,
who resigned as United States attorney for
the Indian territory last July , and L. L.
Stowe , deccasid , who died while serving as
United States marshal. Neither of thrso
olllcera had been confirmed by the senate ,
and under the analogous rulings of the comp
troller would therefore not have been en
titled to their salaries.
Mr. Lacey , republican of Iowa , recurring
to the abuses that had resulted In the piling
up of expenses In United States courts , argued
that the fee system , was responsible for
the bringing of many frivolous suits. He
cited where ono mdn' In the western dis
trict of Arkansas held tlio position ot clerk
of the United States district court , clerk
of circuit court and .clerk to the United
States commissioner "and drew over $12,000
In fees. Ho declared that the whole system
was honeycombed with -fraud.
As amended the bill was passed. Then at
4:10 : the house adjourned 'until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. The house com-
mltteo on Judiciary today took steps to In
vestigate the action of Comptroller Bowler
In withholding the sugar' bounty appropria
tion. A substitute for thd. Bowler resolution
drawn by. , Mr. Ray of.NewiYork . wasi adopted ,
which Is more comprehensive than the origi
nal and avoids special reference to"Mr. Bow
ler. It follows : i ,
"Resolved , That the commltteo on Ju
diciary bo and hereby Is authorized and
directed to Inquire as to the condition of
the law on the subject of. the right of the
executive officers of the government In the
several departments thereof to rcfuse > to
enforce , execute or comply with the provi
sions of any act of congress of the United
States on the ground of Its alleged uncon-
stltutlonallty or for other reasons and to re
port to the house by bill or otherwise. "
If this resolution bo adopted by the house
the committee will Investigate the whole
matter. It cannot recommend a statute to
prevent any further action based on the Bow
ler precedent and cannot provide for the
payment ol the withheld bounties. Whether
any further action would be possible was a
matter of discussion , but It was predicted
by members of the committee that congress
would adopt a resolution declaring that Comp
troller Bowler had exceeded his authority.

One of the Important measures that will
come before the general assembly , and which
will be of special Interest to all of the people
of Iowa living along the tributaries of the
DCS Molnes river. Is embodied In the bill
Introduced by 'Mr. Crow 'of Wopello , provid
ing for qn Appropriation of $23,000 for the
removal of the dam across the Des Molnes
river at Bonaparte in Van Buren county.
This dam was originally built by the state
as a part of a system of locks when the
Den Molnes. river .was. supposed to be navl-
table , but In 1857 was sold to Meek brothers ,
who utilized the water power In operat
ing extensive factories. When the present
flsh law was passed requiring "flsh ways"
to be left open , a hotly contested law suit
developed 'the fact that'a flsh way at Bona
parte would practlcallydeptroy the dam , and
the Meeks won a decided victory over the
flsh commission. The only other way left
open to remove this obstruction to the pass
age of flsh up the river was for the state
to purcbaso the dam outright and then destroy
It , 'and this Is the object of Mr. Crow's bill.

TUBNTON , N. J. , Jan. 21. The Inaugura
tion of John W. Grlggs as governor of Now
Jersey took place at Taylor's opera house
at noon today In the- presence of the mem
bers of both branches of the. legislature and
a large concourse of people. The oath of
ofllcr > was administered by Chief Justice
Bcasley.
The great seal of the state was formally
handed over to Governor Grlggs by the re
tiring governor , after which Governor
Grlggs delivered his Inaugural , baying :
"Gentlemen of the Senate and General As
sembly : With the/e brief and simple cere
monies , the executive administration of the
state passes from my predecessor to a new
Incumbent. Trite though the remark may
be. It cannot to'6 often be repeated , that the
public officer Is merely the trustee of the
commonwealth , and owes to the people the
duty , superior to all other considerations , of
loyal and unselfish service. The valuable
function of political parties In republican
government Is too well established to be
questioned and too universal to bo Ignored
In official addresses. It Is well , however , to
keep clearly In mind the truth that they are
themselves but agencies whereby the people
are enabled to obtain the first and only
desideratum of an organized state that Is ,
good government for the whole people.
"Insofar as I may on this occasion with
propriety address the representatives of the
party that now assumes control , I would con
jure them not to imitate , but to avoid the
mistakes of their political opponentn. Where
they have been weak , let us b ° strong ; where
they have unduly hesitated , let us be bold ;
where they have been excajplve , let us bo
moderate ; where they have been selfish , let
us devote ourselves entirely to the Interests
of the commonwealth with an eye single
only to her glory and the prosperity of all
her people.
"It Is scarcely my proper function at this
timeto call your attention to particular
toplcj upon which legislation Is desirable.
If I deem It nocessiry I will hereafter by
special message communicate to you such
matters as may need especially to be brought
to your notice. "
TJio governor then urges the importance of
the restriction In the volume of legislation.
The may ] of statute law , ho eald , has become
EO Immcnsa that It may bo said to be almost
beyond the power of the legal mind to ac
quire It or the Judicial mind to Interpret it.
No law nhould bo passed unless there Is some
public necessity demanding It.
The remainder of the governor's address
deals exclusively with plate issues.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies Gov
ernor Grlggs and ex-Governor Wertz and
tlia state odlcbrs and members of tha legis
lature went to the reviewing stand from
which they reviewed the Inaugural parade.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ! . The housp com
mittee on public lands has received from
Secretary Smith a strong adverse report
against the free homestead bill. The bill
absolves all persons completing five years
residence on the lands taken and occupied
under the homestead lows from making
further payment to secure tholr tltlo other
than fees Incident to filing nnd obtaining
prtof. The measure Is n sweeping ono and
land officials estimate Its passage would In
volve at least $43.000,000 of coat to the gov
ernment and $15.000,000 to Oklahoma alone.
This Is the amount paid to the Indians tor
the rellnqulzlunent of their lamls there.
Commissioner Limoreaiix of the general
land office. In n report accompanying Secre
tary Smith's letter , urges several reason ]
why the bill should not pass , and says :
"Tho payment of money considerations for
lands by settlers thereon In these cases
appears to bo the foundation on which the
whole transactlo'n upon which the agreement
between the government nnd them was based
nnd without which the government would not
have entered upon agreements with the
Indians by which the acquisition of title
by settlers wan ( rendered .possible. The pur
pose ot thojiblll seems , to be to repeal all
the provisions of existing laws under which
homestead entries have'been mndo for public-
lands for \\hlch n certain prlco per acre
Is to be > paid by the entryraen.
"Large tracts of land have bfcn acquired
through purchase from Indians. For some
of this land the Indians have already been
paid by the government and for other portions
tions the government Is still responsible.
There are also abandoned military reserva
tions Involved which have become valuable
becauseof their location , usually In settled
communities , nnd persons entering them had
a dlstlnrt understanding 'hat they were to
pay for them a certain price per acre. "
