to the Public by thu
President.
WASHINGTON Jan. 8.-The atlen-
'tion of the president having been
called to a hint thrown out in the
senate discussion on Friday that the
visit of a certain "committee of Rev
aUtsfrom the Ilatvaiian islands" was
connected in some way with the departure -
parture of American ships from that
locality , he said last night to a reporter -
porter : "Of course such an insinuation -
tion is very absurd. Its propriety
: and motive behind it , I am sure , can
safely be left to the judgment of
right thinking Americans. I am entirely -
tirely willing all our people
should know everything concerning -
ing the visit of the so-called
'committee of Royalists. ' Last year
hn the latter part of July or early in
August three gentlcinen from llawaii
arrived here and asked through the
secretary of state my designation of
a time when they could have an in-
terviety with me and present a ines-
sage from the deposed IIawaila ii
i queen. Though I could not with
propriety recognize them officially , I
was not disposed to refuse them personally -
sonally the audience. The day and
! hour were fixed for the interview. In
the meantiihe , at my request , trans-
nutted through the secretary of state ,
these gentlemen made known the
i precise purpose of their visit in 1.he
following note :
li " To the lion. W. Q. Gresham , Secretary -
tary o State.
" 'Sir-We , the undersigned commissioners -
missioners sent by her majesty , Queen
Lilinokalani , request an audience of
the president of the United States.
We desire to ask his excellency
whether there is any hope for his doing -
. ing anything for the restoration of
m time constitutional government of the
h awaiian islands.
" 'J. A. Criu IINGs ,
" 'H. A. WIDEMAN ,
" 'SAMUEL PARxnn. '
"After this noteliadheen Submitted
to me I prepared in writing with
some care a reply to the question it
contained , to be read by me to the
commissioners at our meeting. I intended -
tended to avoid all misunderstanding
i and misconception by absolutely confining -
fining myself to such written reply ,
f of tvirich the following is a copy :
' . 'Gentlemen , you must permit mete
to remind you that this interview is
not an official one and that instead of
p i receiving you in any representative
capacity , i meet you as individuals
who have traveled a long distance for
the purpose of laying a certain mats -
1 s ter before me.
( " 'You ask me if there is any hope
of my doing anything for the restoration -
tion of the constitutional government -
ment of the Hawaiian islands. I
suppose that this question is largely
prompted by the fact that soon after
the overturning of the late govern-
meat of thine queen I investigated that
transaction and was satisfied there
had been such an unjustifiable inters -
s Terence of aid of that movement on
the part of the representatives of the
government of the United States in
I ' its diplomatic and naval service as to
call for correction , not only to rectify
what seemed to be a wrong done to
i ' i ' others , but also through that rect ifi ca
' i tion to ward off what appeared to be
1 danger to American honor and probity.
I " 1'nlly appreciating the coustitu-
tional limitations of my executive
I power and by no means unmindful of
the hindrances that might arise , I undertook -
, dertook the task.
' ( Ilaving failed in my plans I corn-
. mitted the entire subject to the congress -
gress o the United States , which had
i abundant power and authority vin the
r premmc..s. The executive branch of
I , ( the government was thereby dis-
11 charged from further duty and rC-
iI snonsibility in the matter unless
gloved thereto by congressional com-
1 grand. The congress has , both
bi its action and its omission -
sion to act , signified that nothing
need be done touching American interference -
terference with the overthrow of the
government of the queen.
C " 'Quite lately a government has
been established in Hawaii which is
in full force and operation in all parts
of the islands. It is maintaining its
authority and discharging all ordin-
1 ary governmental functions upon
general principles and not losing
sight of the special circumstances
government
ernment is clearly entitled to our
recognition , without regard to any of
the incidents which accompanied or
' preceded its inauguration.
" 'This recognition and the attitude
of the congress concerning Hawaiian
I affairs , of course , led to an absolute
denial of the least present or future
aid or encouragement on my part of
an effort to res'ore any government
i heretofore existing in the hawaiian
islands. UROVEIm CranvEr.AND.
"When the clay appointed for the
t meeting arrived I was confined to my
bed by illness and unable to keep my
engaocment. I , therefore , signed
the paper I had expected to teal , and
it was d .livered to the commissioners.
who , I believe , returned at once to

CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION.
United States Judge hick of Ohio Impugned -
pugned by a loch : Min.
WASIINGTON , Jan. 8.-Sensational.
charges against United States District -
trict Judge Augustus Ilicks of Cleveland -
land , are contained in a memorial
presented to the house of representa
tires to-day. Representative Johnson -
son of Ohio , secured immediate consideration -
sideration for a resolution instructing
the judiciary committee to investigate -
gate the charges and without debate
it was adopted.
The charges are made under oath
by S. J. Ritchie of Akron , Ohio , a
wealthy capitalist. While directed
mainly at Judge Ricks they indirectly
affect Judge Burke and ex-United
States Senator Payne of Cleveland.
Mr. Ritchie rives the names of a
formidable array of counsel in Washington -
ington , Cleveland and Akron who
have been retained in his behalf.
These include Hemphill , Shellabarger
& Wilson and Butterworth of Wash-
ingtonKerueh & Co. of Cleveland and
Judge Upson and Green , Grant
Lieber of Akron.
The charges involve losses reaching
80,000,000 Ritchie claims to have suffered -
fered in the decisions made by Judge
Ricks affecting Canadian copper and
nickel mines. The memorial covers
twelve typewritten pages and tells of
time discovery of valuable copper and
nickel deposits at Sudbury Junction
in Canada , by time memorialist in 1885 ,
which have become of worldwide fame
and have supplied all the nickel for
armor plates used in tbp United States
navy and by Enropeafl governments.
In order to develop them , to organize
corporations and to build a connecting -
ing railway he associated with
Stevenson Burke , Henry B. Payne
and Thomas W. Cornell. In 1S89 he
negotiated in England for time sale of
the property for 815,000,000 , when his
associates ' 'coinmenced to put into
execution a thoroughly planned and
infamous scheme to rob himself and
his wife , who had the largest in-
terests. " To assist them in their
designs it is charged Judge Ricks
became their subservient and
pliant tool.
MR. POST'S DEATH.
The ! rouse Adjourns Aftcr Passing Appropriate -
propriato Resolution ; .
WASHINGTON , Jan. S.-Prior to the
assembling of the house today the
Illinois delegation held a meeting
and prepared resolutions and a general -
eral plan of action concerning the
death of Representative Post.
When the house met to-day the desk
of time late Representative Post of
Illinois was covered with crepe , on
which rested a wreath of flowers , and
Chaplain Bagby in his prayer referred
to the dead member eloquently.
The death of Mr. Post was announced -
nounced by Mr. Henderson of Illinois ,
who spoke of time shock caused by the
sudden decease of the member , who
had been seen by many of his colleagues -
leagues in good health Friday , and
referred to him as a brave and
liant soldier and a faithful and intelligent -
ligent representative. Mr. Ilender-
son offered appropriate resolutions ,
which were adopted.
Speaker Crisp appointed the following -
ing committee to accompany the body
to Illinois. Messrs. Henderson. Lane ,
Marsh , Chmlds and Wheeler of Illinois ,
Bynum of Indiana , Boutelle of Maine ,
Lucas of South Dakota and Stallings
of Alabama. Then , on motion of Mr.

THE FRAKER CASE AGAIN ,
Judge Philips Grants the Defendant's
Motion for a New Trial.
K. > rxsAs CITY , Mo. , Jan. S.-Judge
Philips granted time petition for a new
trial of the Fraker insurance case at
noon to-day. Time petition asked that
a new trial be granted on the grounds
that Judge Phillips overruled time objections -
jections of time defendants to the
jurors when time case was called for
trial , and on instructions given to the
jury by Judge Philips.
Judge Phillips had ruled that but
three peremptory challenges shonld
be allowed the five distinct parties to
the defense , on time ground that it
was a consolidated case. The supreme -
preme court in the Hillmon case held
that in consolidated cases each party
has the right to three peremptory
challenges. Judge Philips censured
the attorneys for the defense sharply
for allowing him to fall into error at
the time they made the preemptory
objections to time jurors.

CANNOT SUE INDIAN NATIONS.
The Tribes Occupy the gismo Plane ss' '
Independent Nations.
ST. Louis , Mo. , Jan. 4.-In the
United States circuit court of appeals -
peals , Judges Caldwell and Thayer
on the bench , an interesting decision
was rendered yesterday as to the liability -
bility of an Indian tribe to be sued as
a nation. It was the case of George
S. Thebes , who sued the Choctaw
tribe for $1:0,349 for professional
services rendered the nation
in lobbying in Washington. The
defendants demurred tothe complaint
on time ground that time federal court
in time lndian territory had no jurisdiction -
diction of the person of the defendants
and of the subject matter of the
action. The court sustained the demurrer -
murrer and this court affirms the
judgment The decision , which is by
Judge Caldwell , discusses the status
of the several nations , and says that
it seems to have been the policy of
congress to regard them as self-gov-
erning communities. They are not
sovereign states , but so far as suits
brought against them , time policy is to
place them on the plane of independent -
ent states. A state without its consent -
sent cannot be sued by an individual.
Congres might have allowed the nations -
tions to be sued , but it has never
done so.

THE 1 'E S T PRI E S.
A REVIEW OF BUSINESS FOR
THE YEAR 1894
It Was Characterized by the Lowest
Prices Ever Known-Failures for the
Year lVere One-Iraif Less than 1893-
whit the Average Was In Every
Thousand Firms Doing Ilusines-Con-
ditlons of Business Governed by the
Fall in Prices.
Time Business Review.
NEW YORK , Jan. 7.-H. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says :
Failures for 189.4 are fully reported
this week , being 13,885 in time United
States and 1,586 in the Dominion
of Canada. Liabilities in the United
States were $172,992,856 , and in
Canada , $17,616,215. Neither the decrease -
crease of over half in this country nor
the increase of over forty per
cent in Canada is surprising , but the
statement shows that most of the
decrease in the United States was
in manufacturing liabilities , while
the entire increase in Canada is
in liabilities of trading concerns. A
few states , including New York and
Pennsylvania , show more failures
than in 1593 , and in a few Southern
states the amount of liabilities is
larger , but in the Central and West-
emmi states very much smaller. In
eleven of the last thirty-eight years
reported liabilities have been larger
than in 1894 , though for this year and
1893 time statement is confined to commercial -
mercial failures , as it was not in
former years. The failures ] rave
been 12.5 to every 1,000 firms doing
business ; the liabilitieshave averaged
$132.77 to each firm in trade , and in
proportion to the volumne of solvent
business represented by all clearing
house exchanges , $2.63 for every
81,000.
The complete review of different
branches of business places in a clear
light the fact that prices of commodities -
modities arc at the lowest level ever
known. Eight years ago in July
prices averaged only 73.09 per cent of
tlmc prices for time same articles and
in tune same markets January 1 , 1860 ,
and this remained the lowest point
ever touched until August 10 , 1S93 ,
when the average fell to 72.70 , but
early this year prices dropped below
all previous records , and have never
recovered , the average decrease
of 26 being only 6S.73 per cent of
the prices in 1560. The range was
very little higher at the end of the
year , and about as low October 25.
The fall since a year ago has been
53 per cent , but very unequal in different -
ferent branches. In iron amid steel
products , 14 per cent ; in wool , 13.4 per
cent ; in woolens and cottons , about
15 per cent. These changes contrast
sharply with time decline of wages
paid per hour's work , which average
only 1.2 per cent less than a year ago.
Time year has been especially noteworthy -
worthy for the lowest prices of wheat
and cotton on record. Both suffer
from wholly unprecedented accumulation -
lation of stocks , time crops being
large. Outside this country wheat
production has not increased enough
to justify a price of 60 cents at New
York , and the accumulation is largely
due to false reports of yield intended
to frighten buyers and raise prices
The same influence has been felt in
cotton , which is also affected by
world-wide depression in business
and decrease in consumption of goods.
In other produce markets time year
has been relatively less important.
READY TO BACK HIS IDEA.
Congressman Phillips OtTers to Pay the
Expense3 of Ills Labor Commission.
W.tshhlxGTON , Jan.Rcprescnta -
tive Phillips of Pennsylvania has expressed -
pressed a willingness to pay $300,000
out of his pocket to meet the expenses -
penses of a labor commission if
congress will authorize the creation
of one in accordance with time terms
of a bill lie has presented. This has
drawn such favorable attention to
the merits of Mr. Phillips' bill that
Chairman McGann of the labor coin-
mittee has appointed a special subcommittee -
committee , with Representative Erd-
man of Pennsylvania at its head , to
consicer the measure. Mr. Phillip , is
one of the wealthiest men in congress
and , while his suggestion hay been
modestly made , there is no doubt of
his willingness and ability to
execute it.

Robert Crozier of Kansas , has come
to Washington as a representative of
the business men of Leavenworth
opposed to the proposition to change
the Fort Leavenworth military prison
to a United States civil prison and it

KANSAS POLITICAL FIGHT ,
The Speakership Contest On-Tito Field
Against Mr. Lobdell.
TOPEKA , Kan. , Jan. 7.-Last night
Representative .rolmn Seaton of Atclmi-
son , got time opposition candidates for
speaker together and after a long
conference it was decided that S. S.
Benedict , J B. Remington and Alexander -
ander Warner Should withdraw , leav
lug J. K Cubbison and W. B. Sutton
in time field to oppose C. E. Lobdell.
Several attempts were made to combine -
bine all time opposition forces in a can-
cus , but Lobdell ] mad secured pledges
from so many to him as their second
choice that time plan would not work ,
and nothing was left but to make time
fight in the party caucus. Sutton is
expected to hold time Sixth district
members in line and , if lie sees he
can't win , he will throw his support
to Cubbison , taking time speakership
pro tempore for lmitnself.
The result of the speaherslmip contest -
test will have no bearing whatever
on the senatorial contest. What little
interest was manifested by the senatorial -
torial candidates a week ago soon disappeared -
appeared , and if Lobdell succeeds it
will not be because of locality , but
because of his tremendous energy and
hard work , commencing the day after
the November election. Ire Imad
secured a positive following and formed -
ed an organization weeks before the
other candidates began operations
and thus had gained a good start
when the campaign opened in
Topeka.
There is talk of a peace conference
of Lobdell , Cubbison and Sutton and
their friends to bring about a settlement -
ment of time speakership in advance of
the party caucus. Thus proposition
is opposed by Seaton , Benedict and
other Cubbison mnenand there is little
likelihood of a settlement outside of
the caucus , which it is understood
will be held Monday forenoon.
Action on time snatorial contest in
alamge measure has been suspended
until time settlement of the house
organization , although there is no
climinution of interest. Neither
candidate has gained any accessions
for a day or two , and it is admitted
by politicians that not so many members -
bers have been pledged as had been
reported. 'Time members are going
into caucus cautiously-some because
they want to "pick time winners , " amid
others because they feel the growth in
of the Ingalls sentiment anti do not
want to conunitt themselves against
it
HORSETHIEVES LYNCHED ,
Three Jon Hanged and Their Bodies
liiddled Witht Bullets.
WlrnmrA , Kan. , Jan. 7.-News
reaches here fromn Kingfisher , Ok. , of
a wholesale lmanging of thieves in time
Cheyenne and Arapahoe country.
Time settlers there have ever since
the opsning been the victims of marauding -
rauding bands of horse and cattle
thieves , 'and finding the authorities
too slow in bringing the offenders to
justice , several vicrilance committees
were organized in different
parts of time country to take
the law in their own hands.
The vigilants a few ( lays ago started
Oii the trail of one band , followed it
into the Panhandle of Texas , back
into time Chey eon , country , overtaking -
ing it near Cantonment. here a battle -
tle followed , resulting in time wounding -
ing of George Gaskell and SilucOil
Campbell , two of time vigilants , and
the capture of three of the thieves.
The hatter were hanged without de-
lay. Their bodies were shot to
pieces and left hanging as a warning
to their kind.

rency Iill is a Fraud.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 7.-Time only bus-
mess done by the house in time morn-

ate amendments to a bill for time relief -
lief of Limri Elliott of Kammsas and a
resolution to pay the funeral expenses
of Colonel William T. Fitch , for twen-
ty-one years doorkeeper in time house ,
who died Christmas day.
The debate on the currency bill
was resumed by Mr. Boatner of Louisiana -
isiana , who expressed surprise at the
opposition to the measure which lead
developed on the Democratic side.
He paid attribute to time abilities of
Secretary Carlisle and dwelt upon
time duty of supporting him , tvhielm
ire said rested upon Democrats.
Mr. Bland asked him several questions -
tions to show that the administration -
tion had adopted a gold policy and
finally declared that time Rational
platform was a fraud if there was no
intention to carry it out , asserting
that time platforms should mean some-
thing.
Mr. Boatner asked if Mr. Bland
had not been a supporter of
President Cleveland in time last
campaign , vvlmereupon Mr. Bland responded -
ponded that he had supported time
platform and had voted for the candidate -
didate and timat the party had gone
down in ignominous defeat for its
treaclmery and fraud.
Mr. Lacey of Iowa , followed in opposition -
position to the bill.
Bourke Cochran followed witim an
eloquent appeal for time bill.
Ingalls' Candidacy.
ATCIIISGN , Ilan. , Jan.-Time Atch
icon Globe , whichm is a strong Ingalls
organ , says editorially : "If any Republican -
publican member of the Kansas legislature -
islature fails to support John J. In-
galls for United States senator because -
cause of time impression tlmat he is
not a candidate , let him take notice
from this that there is nothing Mr.
Ingalls desires so much as to return
to Washington , and that he would
rather return now than two years
hmence. "

"For four mars I have been a constant suf-
ferer. My head ached from nmoriting till
night. After trying everything 1 could think
of , the only timing that gave me auy relief waste
to keep my head
bound with a cloth
to keep the air from
' striking it. The nasal
; ;
passages of my head
and my throat were
\ - )
very sore and gave
me intense pain , expectorating -
' " pectorating in u c ii
E % ; corrupt matter. I
told that the
MIS.MiIryA.White.was
weight of my hair
was the cause of my trouble , and I had it cut
off ; but this gave me no relief. Reading about
a lady similarly afflicted who was cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla , I began to take It. Before -
fore I bad taken one bottle I felt greatly hn-

proved , and at the end of three bottles was entirely -
tirely vveii. I now weigh 240 pounds , which
is a gain of 10 pounds In three months. "
