Mr. Koblnsbn ( dom. . Ind. ) , Delegate Calla- Iian ( Okl. ) , and Mr. Berry ( dem. , Ky. ) sup ported the appropriation for seed distribu tion. The latter In the course of his re marks made an eloquent appeal to the repub- nicans to allow the house to vote on the Cuban belligerencyresolution. . Mr Fitzgerald ( dem. .

Several speeches were delivered , but ki every Inataaco the speaker * announccil that to .y's remarks wcro mcreljr preliminary to-vviat they should iy before the close of the delate. The executive swslon closed shortly after 1 o'clock , with Senator White on the floor. Senator Stownrt interrupted and others cut ho Cnllforn'a senator cut o ( the illscusalco. These who flpoko were Senators Stewart , Among the measures reported to the senate today was the pension appropriation bill , U was placed on the calendar. At the con clusion of the moinlng business , the Immi gration bill , the unfinished business , was taken up and Mr. CaiTery of I.ouUKna was recognized for a speech In opposition to the measure. "A largo number of Uio supporters of this bill , " said Mr. Caffcry , "favor the Incorpora tion Into the United States of the Hawaiian Islands with their hctciogcnous mass of Asiatics , Portuguese and Kanakas. " Mr. CafTcry deemed It uselesj to print long columns of figures showing thnt the undesir able Immlgranta flocked to the slums of eastern cities and aioplled the Isrgest per centage of lllltemtca. If there was not work for them there f.ley are not needed. If there Is , they are .Mr. Caffery held disenfranchised colored people had kept the white Immigrants out of the soiit'.i slnco the war , mwh to the detriment of thatoart ot the country. "A career of boundless prosperity rpens up before us , " declared Mr. Gallery , "but wo must take care lest our unvvlso restriction of Immigrants and our cruel , foolish laws of prohibition of foreign gooda do not work us noe. TMs bill , " concluded Mr Caffery , "Is the cry of proscription and selfishness. It Is another form ot the mania of protection. It Is repugnant to democracy In Its widest acute. It la a libel en 70,000,000 freedmen , \\hose ancestors as well aa themselves , have welcomed to our shores every son and daugh ter of toll. " At tlio conclusion of Mr. Cattery's speech tlio senate at 1--0 p. m. , on motion or Mr. Davis , chairman of the committee on for eign iclatloud , went Into evccutlvo session. Senator Stewart of Nevada supported the trt'Jty an I w.ia the first senator to discus Hio quf'tlon cf sugar in ccnnecMm with the subject. He said 'ill the. ongar lands were now occupied and little was left except lands ovallibln for the production of coffee. Ho averted that the linpot titlon of sugur to the United States from Havvull vvculd not be In- craojed to any perceptible extent because the Islands had reached their limit In. the pro- durtlcn of tha -jrtlcle. i . Kor this reason the proJuccra of beet sugar and cane sugir need not bo alarmed. Senator Stewart eulogized tJio natives as Intelligent an ! docile. Ho said there were many of them In California and that they were well icgarded there. Senator White Interrupted to ask way. If the Karakia were % o well thought of , they hid not been consulted on the question of aunexa ion. Mr. Stewart replied Hint throughout their history up to recent jears they had been unvious to have their country become a part of the United States. Senator Frye cpoko upon the commercial an I military aspects which annexation pre sented In favor of the United States. He called atttotlcn to the fac'i that some sena tors complained because no otio stayed In the chamber and listened to the debate upon this Important subject. Ho remarked 'ttat It was no wonder tb.t senators fled to the cloak , rcomn and committee rooms when long speeches were- read which contained much dry detail and were not argumen a upon fie question before tiie senate. The senators could consult together anj discuss the mat ter , debuto and advise , and then there would bo a full set-ate _ all tlmea aud the Informa tion sought would be brought out. Upon the merits of the case he considered lawall as necessary to the commerce of the Jnltcd States. He devoted considerable time to a review of the importance of control of the Nicaragttan canal , which could not bo nalntalned unless llawall was ours. Sena tor I-'rye thought this was an Important epoch In our history , and If wo 'did ' not an- icx the islands now wo could not complain f they were annexed to any other nation , or f any other nation should take them. Senator Morgan of Alabama made the > rlnclpal speech of the day and occupied the Ime of the senate until It adjourned. He vlll continue tomorrow. The senator began jy referring to the suggestion by Mr. Hoar that the committee on foreign relations hai made no report , and he , Mr. Hoar , was with out sufficient Information concerning1 the subject of Hawaii and annexation. Senator Morgan then piled upon his desk lumerous printed volumes , Including reports jeforo various congressional committees , re ports of the officers of the Hawaiian gov- irnmcnL and other documents relating to lawall. . "The senator from Massachusetts , " said Senator Morgan , "Is welcome to thein docu- n'cnts and If ho will give them the atten- lou ho usually gives to public documents , ho vlll have all the Information necessary on his subject. " Senator ( Morgan then went Into a detailed ilstory of the Islands from the time of their discovery to the present. He believed It was the Intention of President Cleveland to have restored Queen Llluokalanl to her throne , and after that transaction to have opened negotiations for the annexation of the Islands under her relsn. This assertion brought Senator Chandler to his feet , with the question as to what authority there was for this assertion. iMr. Morgan replied that there was no special authority , but ho was expressing his opinion , and that such a course would have been In keeping with the lotic of events. Senator White asked If this treaty was not a trade with the provisional government , and what was to be done regarding the natives and their rights. Senator Morgan said ho hid fully nn- Hwercd that question In a previous portion of his remarks , but he would review the DUO. Ject for the benefit ot the California aonator. Jn the early part of the uiesent century Van couver wont to the Islands and on his third trip the then king of the Islands , a native , said ho would ceilo them to Great Britain and acknowledge the sovereignty of Kngland , Hut Vancouver never returned. iAs to the oft-repeated as'crtlon that the United States was trying to absorb the Islands without the wish of the Kanakas , Senator Morgan said for the last hundred years the government of the lalindu and the people of the klands were anxious to secure the foverolgnty of a strong power nnd secure a local self-government Senator Morgan described at consUorable length liU visit to the Islands last summer and related hid own personal observations , and In reply to a question explained why the Portuguese could not vote. Ho then turned Ills attention to the Kanakas' . He said they were a picturesque people who would bo much better off under a govornmnet by the Unltel States , He spoke o ! the women going barefooted along 'the atrects In looo gown" , which ho called "Mother Hubbards , " and the men with little clothing , 'but ' yet strong and manly looking fellows. Senator Whlto asked Mr. Morgan why1 ths Islands were not annexed In IS 111 and how It was the propcr.il for annexation had to wait until the Islands were In the possession of the land grabbers who \\ercKrying to fur ther their personal fortunes , Senator Morgan said that If attention had bccit given to hU remarks on the subject or annexation In IS 13 senators would have un do rmoo.l what Intervened. The history of that time was In the documentary cvldcnco which had ihcon printed and discussed often before. Ho believed the islands should have been annexed at tint tlmo and believed they should bo annexed now and the reasons which existed then for annexation had multi plied a hundred times since. What former authorities had refused to do was no excr.ro why the United States should refuse now , as It was evident annexation wia best both for tha peopln of the Islands and for this coun try.

The Interstate commerce committee of the senate continued Its hearings on the scalping bill today , with George W. Iloyd of the I'cnnsjlvanla rail road as the principal witness. Ho was sworn under the resolution recently adtpted by the senate. He said the ticket brokers prcjcd especially on the poorer classes by dishonest ! methods , by altered , stolen and forged tickets. , In reply to a question from Senator Till- man ho stated that five conductors on the Pennsylvania road had been coavIcteJ In one batch for stealing tickets , but In a majority of cases persons convicted were only dis missed and not prosecuted. While , however , the conductors had been Imprisoned , the ticket brokers , who " .vcro the real criminals , were allowed to go free. He said that the corrupting of > oung men In the railroad service was one of the sad features ot the business. ' .Mr Ilajd also controverted the opblon that a railroad ticket was like other merchandise. Concluding his prepared statement , Mr LlcoU denounced the ticket brokers as a pest to society , and as thlavcs fcho were break ing up homes , seducing jomii ; men line ways of vice , and doing more mischief than could well be conceived. When Mr. Hoyd concluded , George M. McKenzle was called In behalf of the ticket brokers , and s.vorn. Uefore proceeding Mr. McKcnzlo sought to make a personal state ment In reply to attackn on Ills character which was ho said , dearer to him even than thn cause he represented. He ireferrred to an Indictment found against himself In St. Louts In 1SS2. The Indictment , he said , was quashed , and the railroad men who examined hU books completely exonerated him Not satisfied with this , ho brought n suit for damages for malicious prosecution and re covered ? GOO , He made a counter attack upon the dcteetivcs of the railroads who had purchased tickets from his firm , under promise to return portions ot them , but In stead of doing so had turned them over to the railroad companies to be used In this Investigation , Mr Cullom called Mr. McKen/le's atten tion to a stitemoni ha ( McKcnzls ) made , to the effect that he had personal relations with nitmy of the rt'IlrcatM Mr. iMcKenzIo then presented alllCuvlts from Simon Stlner , a ticket broker of St. Louis , i d J. Van Seder , a broker of Cleveland , to the effect that they had purchase 1 tickets and 1,000-mile books from the regularly authorized agenta of the Penrsylvanla company , the tickets being bought by the brokers on commission. He also presented an afllclavlt from Albert J. Gels , > a ticket broker of Chicago , sajlng fae r > < I paid with a check for $100 for mileage books purchased from H. H.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 13 The hearing of the monetaty commission in behalf of Its bill for currency reform was resumed before the banking and currency committee of the tlnnsn tod.iv * . T. J. Bush of .Alabama . , who was heard yce. terday , gave an additional explanation. Ho showed the case of redemption under the Itlan of the commission. Mr. Bush made the ; > olnt 'that ' whllo his friends may not succeed in having this entire bill enacted as a law , yet ; they desired , its essential features of re lief Incorporated Into a measure of financial reform. The examination of ex-Secretary Falrchlld wao then resumed. Mr. Cox of Tennessee piopounded a aeries of questions to Mr. Falr- : hlld. Technically he agreed with Mr. Cox that the silver certificates were simply warehouse certificates1 , but pratlcally they vvcro used Indiscriminately and fulfilled all the functions of any other class of money. Under the commission's plan , the ex-secre tary raid , the Ibanks could redeem notes In any lawful money. "If the bank elects to redeem In silver and the noteholder demands gold , " asked Mr , Cox , "would there .be . any way cf compelling the 'bank ' to pay gold ? " "No , " replied Mr. Falrchlld.who pro ceeded to explain that tbe silver obtained from "the bank could toe exchanged at the traamirji for gold. Under this plan the only method for the banks to obtain gold , Mr Falrchlld said , would be by the presentation of sliver. The greenbacks would bo out ol existence , so If the outstanding silver did not sufllco to produce enough gold from the treasury , the bankij would be compelled to procure gold elsewhere. Ho denied that the government could bo forced to redeem all the banknotes In gold. Hoberts Taylor of Fort Wayne , Ind. , ap peared before the committee at the afternoon session. He * opoke In behalf of the bill1 pre- ircd by the monetary commlealon. Mr. Tay lor then carefully elucidated the recom mendations of the commission. He said : "It la time to clcao the debate. Wo have had talk enough , experience enough , dis aster enough. Tor five years the business of this country bn teen in a state of ntrain. The beating back of the free silver casault has relieved It for a , moment , but only for a moment. The Inherent weaknesses of tno sjstcm remain and will rciraln while the money of the country and Ita standard of value continue to be the subject of party strife and liable to change at nny session of congress. This bill enacted Into law will of. ford the people of tlio country a sense of security , a sense of confidence which Is a whole blblo of Caance.

Mr. Kurtz and others are Buffering from overwork and loss of sleep There are many who have been so lively as hustlers who are now almost as near a collapse an the opposition I In elf Many of the leadcia and workers still remain to watch the pro ceedings of the legislature , In which body the war Is not over.

In the meantime the bribery Investigations arc to proceed In bothhoujies co charges from both sides of the contending factions. The i senate having adopted a resolution yesterday for an Investigation of tljc , Otis case Its com- ; mltteo began \\crk last flight , hut nothing new was developed. Consideration of the Otis bribery resolution was put off jcatcrday by ! t'je senatorial balloting and It was the order of the day. ( COMBINE CONTINUES FIGHTING. ' The opposition to .Hauna was defeated in i its election , but It proposes to fight now against him being seated1 for the long term. FJis enemies say they have not the time to Interfere on the short term , but they will press the bribery charges , tis Buch charges wore pressed on Henrjt B. Pajne fourteen years ago , to the United States senate. Subpoenas have befn. Issued for Senator Hanna , Major Dick. W. P. Hollenbcck , IH. II. Boyce and others to apppar before the senate committee next Tuesday night. Libel suits have been brought against several republican papers for damages In connection with the bribery charges notably ono by T. C. Camp bell for $100,000 against the Ohio State Journal. Among the managers for Senator Hanna who are stjll here and will remain till the Investigation Is completed Is Hon. E. G. liathbone. who says he wants the bribery Investigation pushed to the last ditch. While the benate committee , ot which Senator Burke Is chairman , commenced Its Investigation > esterday , the house committee will not be appointed till next Tuesday. The Otis resolution was adopted In the house to day , but Speaker Mason wanted time for the selection of tbo five- men to do the Investi gating. As Speaker Mason Is anticipating an attempt to oust him he Is disposed to confer with the members before naming the house committee. Speaker JIason has never missed a moment out of his thalr during the sessions of the past two weeks. As Speaker Pro Tern. GrilTUh Is now with the Hanna members , Mason knows that In his absence a resolu tion would be offered and adopted to re organize the house. As Mason will refuse to recognize any one offering such a resolu tion , there are those v.ho expect violence In the house before the proposed reorganization Is effected. effected.HOT WOUD3 IN HOUSE.

" The why and wherefore of the oamo did not appear with etrlklrvj clearness at any time during the evening , Lolcss It was in the fact llu.it the boy was always welcome and contributed vcr ) gener ously to the evening's onjojment. Plays without an excuse for cxUtlng hue become BO common and so tlresomo tint they are about 0.3 attractive as cermons constructed out of thu tjime old stiuw.

It scored as great a hit , also , fcr the audience was enthusiastic and liberal In applauding the deserving ef forts of the members of the popular com pany. The play has not been -produced hero before and Is a drama with a lot of excel lent comedy In It. It tells an old story , tl at seems to be ever popular with the pee ple. The villain Induces a very respectable citizen to Invest In some supposedly worth less mine stock , which , through the efforts of the hero , proves to be of great value finally and the curtain goes donn upon the discomfiture of the villain and the success of the good people.
