Senator Hanna from Mr. Mahauy ( rep. N.

the bill for seed distribution , nnd In eulogy
of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson , whom
lie described as a genuine hard-fisted fannor ,

was moro wonderful With cl'ttlng Irony ho
proceeded to read an 1 comment on some of
the telegrams of congratulation sent to Mr.
Hanna fiom this city , Including these of
I'rcsldcnt McKlnley and Sonatoi Hawley.
Commenting on the president's telegram ,
he ajkc I how the return of Senator Hann.i
could bo beneficial to the country save In an
ximplo to bo avoided. He SJld In the
course of his remailM that Sonitor Hanna
ivan the tiuritt and best cxpoi out ot modem
republicanism.
Mr. DoUmond's remarks brought Mr.
Mabany ( rep. , N. Y ) to his feet. In a
brief but emphatic speech he leplicd to the
remarks of the Mlssourlan "In 1SU- , " said
ho , "the American people witnessed tlio
spectacle of the democratic party meeting
In Its national convention and despite tno
unanimous protest of Now Yoik state nomi
nating for thu presidency a man repudiated
by his own commonwealth. It was the bcsses
of the democratic piity who pcipctratoii
this outrage upon the rank and file of thb
democratic mo es. During the succeeding
four jears the friends of Mr Cleveland , by
( bund Issues and by ochcr methods abhorrent
to the conscience ot the people , found their
financial schemes smiled upon thiougb the
Influence of this government.
PROFIT BY EXAMPLI3.
'VThis lesson was not lost upon the bosses
of the lopubllcflii party In 189C bosses who
had debauched the legislation of soverclsn
slates and turned the legislatures of those
states Into cash registers for their OKI
schemes , met together In a bosses' pool , be
cause It w-as known that owing to the fact
that the schemers of the democratic paity
liad risen up and hurled It down to oblivion ,
the republican party In all human probability
would be victorious at the ensuing election
"So the bosses gathered together to
syndicate the presidency of the United
States , and at a moment when the masses
of the tepubllcan party almost despaired of
averting this outrage on the party , and this
disgrace to the republic , there was ono man
who roue up ; a man who It Is the delight of
the democratic party to denounce as a baia ,
a man who , by his bulldog : couiago ami his
faith in the strength and conscience of tht
masses ot the republican paity gave battle ,
4o these boasrs and made triumphant the
nomination of William McKinlcy for the
presidency of the United States , ( Applause
on republican side )
"I will state to the distinguished and pro-
ifound gentleman from Missouri ( DcArmond )
ithat It Is fop this reason that the people re
joice today that a man who dared to give

"It was a triumph of a majority and of

WaSIItN'OTO.V. Jan. 13. The neroto did
not make great progress with the Hawaiian
annexation Irony today. 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.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 13. 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

to bpcuk for the Pcnnajlvanla lines \vcut of
Plttsburg. He remarked tbit Hie Pennsyl

Vo.&illa line , fiom whom tariff books were
obtained. The Vasidalli line was a serarute
company and opaiated as such , and at pres

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

ford the people of tlio country a sense of

Mr. Taylor had not concluded when the

There may be aomo doubt about Boxvvell
being put In the speaker's chair , but there Is
no doubt that en effort will bo made to oust
Speaker Mason and all elected on the Kurtz
combine ticket Charles Gerrlsh. who was
deputy state oil Imt'ector under Kurtz , was
made chief clerk over John It. Malloy , sec
retary of t'ae republican stile committee , anil
the personal friend of McKlnley , Hauna , and
Charles Nash It Is desired especially by the
icpubllcans that Gerrlsh be ousted In favor
of Malloy , and u general feeling against thoio
who CTO called "traitors" holding any of the
places.
The republican senators cannot undertake
uch proceedings. That body consists of
elghtean republicans and eighteen democrats.
By Senator Burke voting with the democrats
It haa stood nineteen to seventeen on organ
ization , on the senatorsulp and en everything ]
else. It Senator Burke snould return to the
fold at any time Lieutenant Governor Jones
fays ho will "turn the riscals out" with his
tie vote. i . .
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.
Both branches o the legislature adjourned
today vntll Tuesday. In the senate those
voting yesterday agalrst the Burke resolu
tion for the Investigation of the bribery
charges changed their votes. Subpoenaea
were issued for Dlclca , Hollenbcck and Otla
to testify before the committee next Tuesday.
In the house there was a long discussion
oo. the Otis bribery resolution. As the re-
publlcrna expected to reorganize the house
an attempt was nude to pcatpono further
consideration of the. Otis resolution till Feb
ruary 3 , BO th st Speaker Maeon would not
appoint the committee ta conduct the Inves
tigation. Speaker Mason announced the
sVndlng committees today. The house re-
tubed to postpone the resolution .ind It was
adopted Cl to 53. most of the republicans not
voting. When Scott , one of the dissenting
republicans , asked lioxwoll a question the
latter answered that ho would not reply to
traltort . When Speaker Mafcm had Boxwell'e
words taken down the latter said It mattered
not what the chair held , co there would soon
be another speaker.

AMUSEMENTS.
There's < i good show In town. It made Its
firat appearance last evening at Boyd's thea
ter before a packoJ house and It was labeled
"A Boy Wanted. " 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. Every ono tells
the same story In the same manner and with
the tiamo monotonous variations. * A Bo >
Wanted" 4s different. It has no plot that Is
worth mentioning , but , like clothes bars , It
3 a good place to hang things , and many In-
.crcatlnj things are huig tnareon ,
The dancing Is the most Interesting feature
of the performance. Lllllo Suthctland , aa
IcIIen. Ulazcs , gave a hlgh-temperaturcd cx-
ilbltlcci of what one's feet and legs can do
when properly provoked to It. Walter L.
Mack , as the Inevitable damp , proved to bo
i rclraclo by being a novelty In make-up end

features ot the evening.V. . II. Murphy aUo

Uiforturato uctor ho made Interesting a line
of vvcrk that Is not as i vv as It is common.
John Birch proved to be a succcsstul bone of
contention for the plot.

You In the Same Old Way , " rung by Mlsa
Pearl Hevar. A boy will continue to be
wanted at iBoyd's during the ien.ulndcr of
this week.
"Jim , the Westerner , " was given by the
Woodwatd Stock company at the Crelghton
theater last night and will run during the
remainder of the week. The production
proved to bo as much of a magnet as any of
Its predecessors , for almost every seat In the
plajhouse was taken. 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. The specialties are the
same that have been on during thu early
part of the week.
