OPPOSITION TO ANNEXATION
ladioitions That tha Hawaiian Matter Will
Ba Beferred to Olevelind.
NUMEROUS OPPONENTS OF THE TREATY
reaten to Itlnek Important
tlon If the Snl.Jfct It Not Lett
to the Xeit Session
of Congress.
WASHINGTON- . C. , Feb. 22. [ Special
Telegram to THE BEE. ] Erery day opposi
tion to th" Hawaiian annexation treaty ap
pears to grow stronger. U is understood
that In addition to the three republican sen
ators wh i have previously announced their
opposition to annexation Senator Allison of
Iowa has expressed his antagonism to the
rat Jcatlon of the treaty. Being chairman
of the Appropriations committee , Senator
Allison can do more to defeat the treaty
than &ny other senator on the floor , since he
can at any time bring up an appropriation
In 1 vtlu h from its nature always has the
rlsht of way By Judiciously consuming
ti.i-o with these bills the friends of the
treaty can be prevented from any oppor-
tunit > of considering the proposition before
Matxh-J.
It Krhnrped by some of the more imps-
tlrnt fir-nds of annexation that the remark
able dela ; , in disposing of the sundry civil
appropriation bill in the senate was mainly
caused b\ the opposition to the treaty and
that this is but a sample of the dilatory
tactics to be pursued by the antl-annexation-
ists. As there remain only nine legislative
days of this r-m ress and almost as many
appropruxti m bills are yet to be disposed of
in the sen ate. it can be wn that the only
hope of ratification during the present ses
sion is iii rushing through the appropriation
bills.
3Iany Important Measures.
In addition to the appropriations there are
Import&nt bills , like the Nicaragua canal
measure , whose champions will be as earnest
in flghtln ? for an opportunity for considera
tion in the limited time left as will the annexationists -
nexationists Commissioner Thurston , how
ever , states that he is convinced that the
trcatj will be ratified twfore the end of the
cession. Should the treaty not be ratified
before March 4 , it will come up before the
extra sessim of the senate , which will be
summoned to confirm the members of the
new cabinet and such other nominations as
3dr Clettnand may see fit to make.
It is difficult to foretell Us fate under the
new administration. Mr Cleveland , so long
us he thought the matter would be disposed
of during the present administration , was
quoted as favoring annexation , but now that
the trcatj threatens to come to him , alone
with sjme other important legacies of this
administration , ho has become moro war- ,
and is now expressing no opinion on the sub
ject.Last
Last week the Hawaiian commissioners
visited New York. It is now said they called
to see Mr Cleveland and nsked for a confer
ence , but that the new chief executive re
fused to talk upon the subject of the treaty
or say whether he would favor or oppose its
ratification should it go over to his adminis
tration. From this it is thought the com
missioners really believe the treaty will not
be ratified before March 4 and that Mr.
Cleveland may not encourage its ratification
when he comes into power.
TnUASUHY INVESTIGATION.
It Will lie Allowed to Lapse Into Obccorlty
Washington Notes.
WASHINGTON , D. O. . Feb. 22. The investi-
gatijn into tbo condition of the treasury ,
authorized to be undertaken by the ways
and means committee of the house , has been
allowed to lapse into obscurity for the
reason that it was thought that agitation of
the financial questions could not aid to settle
business -aSairs. Chairman Springer -will
frreparea formal report stating what the
committee has done and laying the facts it
"nas obtainrd before the house.
It is the intention of .Mr. Holman to call
xipthe sundry civil bill , as passed by the sen
ate , tomorrow. The silver men of the house
have insisted that the measure must be con
sidered in the committee of the whole be-
iore going to conference , so as to give them
a chance to discuss the Sherman amendment
to the bill providing for the issue of bonds.
The amendment will bo fully discussed and
n vote probably taken on it , the action of
the house thus binding the conferees regard-
.UK the matter.
The celebration of Washington's birthday
In the capital was gwatly curtailed by the
severity of the weather. The Veteran Fire
men and the Oldest Inhabitants associations
nnd other organizations turned out , notwith
standing , headed by the band of the Third
United States artillery , and marched down
Pennsylvania avenue to the capitol and
back. In Washington's town , the neighbor
ing city of Alexandria , the celebration was
entirely confined to the public schools.
Congressman McCrcary of Kentucky , who
yesterday fell on the ice and broke his firm ,
s all richt today. Only one of the small
joncs was fractured and he is able to bo up
nnd around.
In the senate Mr. Blackburn gave notice
of an intended amendment to the deficiency
bill , which provides for the payment of 341
different claims , including the omnibus bill ,
which the house defeated.
The senate in executive session today
considered the Hawaiian treaty and Mr.
Morgan made a strong plea for the annexation -
. " tion of the Islands. Senator Mills of Texas
is oj > i > osed to the present ratification of the
treaty lie insists that a question of such
importance ought not to be discussed behind
the closed doors of the senate , but should be
freely and fully discussed by tbo press and
by the people.
WILL HAVE TO HUSTLE.
Important linslness Itemaluing Unfinished
Itcfore C'oucrr * .
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Feb. 22. Counting
the 4th of March as a full day , there re
mains only nine days before the expiration
of this congress , and the amount of work.be.
fore the two houses to bo accomplished
vrithin that short time is not at all cheering
to those legislators who see the hours slip
ping by and so little being done. Up to the
present time there is but one of the thirteen
regular appropriation bills fortifications
that has passed both houses , aud that is
not yet a law , for it has not
yet reotlvixl the signature of the
president Tlie house appears to be in bet
ter shape than the senate , despite the repu
tation of the latter body for exinxlitioua
work , but a halt will probably be reached in
the house when the sundry civil bill arrives
there , especially if the Sherman bond issue
amendment , which was engrafted on that
bill , precipitates a silver debate and the
members of the house see fit. as they prob
ably will , to renew the World's fair discus-
sloa The appropriation bills , in some
instances , have Deou so changed in the senate
that thcrp can hardly bo any doubt thit
when th , y return to the hou.se they will be
subjected to a close scrutiny , and more or
less debat"
The perfunctory disagreement and ap
pointment of conferees will not , it is said , be
the rule in the case of same ot these bills.
The debate that the sundry civil bill Is
about to inaugurate in the house , and tha
numerous conference reports that remain to
bo acted upon , creates a gloomy outlook fo :
the members of the appropriation committees
of the two houses , to say nothing of other
important matters of legislation which the
committ-es are urging for consideration.
The indications are that some of the itn <
jcrtaiu Appropriation bills will not bo signed
until congress is in the throes attending iu
dissolution.

In the Interest of the Deponed Qaecn.
The elaborate way in which the sundry
civil bill was debated in the senate has
attracted the attention of the friends of the
Hawaiian treaty , who fear that there is a
> lan to consume all the remaining time and
ireveut action on the treaty.
Secretary of State Foster sent today to the
chairman of the senate committee on forsisrn
relations for the information of the senate
the statement which Mr Paul Xeuman left
at the department yesterday and accom-
! > ftnied it with a report of the interview held
with the secretary.
From the latter it appears that the object
of Mr. Xuuman's visit to Washington is to
secure the restoration of Queen Liliuokalanl
to the throne under an American pro
tectorate. He docs not advise her restora
tion under any other circumstances. If the
congress of the United States shall not deem
a protectorate feasible he would then favor
annexation with a liberal allowance for the
queen and the Princess Kalulani , but he
strongly objects to the continuance of the
present provisional government In power.
"WHO IS HOIIACK KUfXEY ? "
Ills KiplolUln VTafhiiiKton Hare Created a
Mild Sensation.
WASHINGTON , D. C , . Feb. 22. The exploits
of Mr. Kinney in the direction of a silver
compromise continue to attract attention , as
will be seen from the following story pub
lished In an evening paper :
"Who is Horace Kinney ? "
That is tha question thatcrery democratic
congressman has been asking absut the capitol
tel for a month.
Mr. Kinney figured in all the newspapers
yesterday as having Invited a number of con
gressmen to Mr Carlisle's house on Sunday
to discuss tne silver question.
Since then the question , "Who is Kinne > T"
is asked more than ever.
A number of congressmen who are intimate
with Mr. Cleveland telegraphed the presi
dent-elect that If he had any control over
Kinney , he had better pet him to leave
Washington , as he was ruining all their
plans to bring about silver legislation.
Kinney's first name is Horace , and he is
said to hail from New York. * hen he first
came here he told Tom Coakley and other
doorkeepers about the senate that he was a
friend of Mr. Cleveland and that he had
come here to represent him in the silver
legislation.
Congressman Andrew , who had charge of
the silver bill , finally made inquiry and found
that Kinney hail-not been sent Here by Mr.
Cleveland. Then Kinney announced that he
was going to be the press agent for the
Cleveland administration and his mission
was to control the Washington correspond
ents. He said that he was goiug to Join the
press club here and give a banquet to all the
members by way of getting solid with the
"boys. "
AMEHICAX BIMETALLIC LEAGUE.
Its First Annual Convention > "ow In Session
at Wttiililncton.
WASHINGTON. D. C. , Feb.22. . The first
annual convention of the American Bimetal
lic league was called to order today by its
president , A. J. Warner. About fifty dele
gates from the western states were present ,
among them General Weaver , the candidate
for the presidency on the people's party , ac
companied by Mary Mrs. Lease.
General Weaver stated the aim of the
league to be the securing of legislation for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
This question , he said , was the most im
portant one before the American people ,
or before the civilized world. It over
shadowed the tariff question , which , in his
opinion , was but a result of the restricted
coinage of silver , and it was really at the
bottom of the Irish question. It was also at
the bottom of tbo labor question and was
responsible for the condition of the laboring
men. He urged the league to fight not only
against the repeal of the Sherman act , butte
to labor until silver was put on a parity with
gold. The two political parties during the
campaign denied that the silver question
was an issue , but as soon as the election was
over it was the orilv issue that the president
elect had given serious consideration to.
Addresses were also made by General
Weaver , Mrs. Lease and Senator Stewart of
Kevada.
COMING TO AJIEU1CA.
Prlneewi Kalalanl Will Penonallr Plead
with United States Authorities.
LONDON , Feb. 2i Princess Kalulani , heir
to the throne of Hawaii , sailed for America
today accompanied by her guardian , Theoph-
ilus Davies. In an interview with a corre
spondent before herdeparture , she said she
had no definite plans and would be guided by
the advice of her cnardian. She proposed
to go to Kew York until alter the inaugura
tion of Cleveland and then go to W&shington
and probably make a personal appeal to the
new president. She expressed the hope that
she might gain the sympathy of
the American people. She could not
see why she should be summarily deprived
of her rights through no fault of her own
und without being even notified to appear in
defense of them. She unew nothing of the
affair except what she rt-ad iu the news
papers. She declined to express her opinion
ou the Harrison message recom
mending annexation , or whoter
bho would actvpt a monetary
consideration in case it was done. She evi
dently considers her case hopeless. She de
clared hercself entirAv opposed to the policy
of the queen which led to her over
throw. She did not want a pro
tectorate for Hawaii , but independence.
She favored the idea of her guardian that
a regency be appointed for three years with
I resident Dole of tne provisional govern
ment as president , she to be crowned queen
at its expiration. It was evident she was
guided by her guardian.
SIX MRS OF DISCCSSION
Indian Affair * Talksd of at Lsngth by Mem
bers of the House.
posTorncE APPROPRIATIONS PASSED
After an All Night's Seislon the Debate Was
Listless and Uninteresting Mr. Hatch
Creates a Little Dlterslon
In the Senate. *
WASIIINOTOX. D. C. , Feb. 22. The first of
what , it Is said , will be a dally series of
conflicts between'the appropriation bills and
the anti-optkms bill until the latter is acted
on was the feature of today's session of the
house. The members were worn out from
last night's session , and ths day passed
tamely.
Mr. Hatch had grown tired of the delay
to which the anti-options bill Is twins sub
jected , and when it was moved to take up
the postoftloe appropriation bill he antago
nized the motion with the measure of which
he is champion. Being defeated , he made
the same-fight , also unsuccessfully , when the
postcfUcn bill was passed and the Indian ap
propriation bill was called up. Members
were thus put on reoord and the Indian
questton was discussed languidly for six
hours.
Durlnc the Nlnht's Session.
The deadlock over the car coupler bill
continued throughout the niht with the
usual scenes , humorous and ill-humored , of
an all-night session , and without a thing
whatever having been accomplished , the
house at 0:30 a m. adjourned. There was a
private agreement that Mr. Wise should be
recognized Monday to move to suspend the
rules and pass the bill.
About two dozen members were present at
the oponins of the house at noon. Mr. Hen
derson of Xew Jersey moved the house go
into committee of the whole for the consider
ation of the txwtofflce appropriation bill ana
Mr. Hatch at once antacxmized the motion
with his anti-options bill.
The pending motion was that made by Mr.
Kyle , striking out the clause miking an ap
propriation for special mail facilities. Tne
motion was lost The bill was then reported
to the house and passed with little delay.
Its passage was the signal for another par
liamentary strurglc for the floor , Mr. Peel
of Arkansas claiming recognition in behalf
of the Indian apin-opriatlon bill , and Mr.
Hatch desiring to move to go into committee
of the whole for the purpose of taking up
the anti-options bilL
Mr. Peel was first recognised , and on a
rising vote carried his motion by a vote of
120 to 31.
Mr. Hatch demanded the yeas and nays ,
which were ordered after Mr. Hatch , by a
parliamentary inquiry , had elicited the in
formation that if Mr Peel's motion were
voU.nl on he would be recocnlzed to move to
take up the anti-options bill.
Mr. Hatch Defeated.
The result was , ayes. 125 ; nays , 73 ; so the
house went into committee of the whole on
the Indian appropriation bill. -
The house broke into a roar of laughter
and "Deacon" White , formerly a member of
confrress , who had come from New York to
watch the fight over the anti-options bill ,
and was on the floor , shook with glee when
the speaker called Mr. Hatch to the chair
as presiding officer.
Mr. Hatch was reluctant to take the gavel ,
but yielded after a few words of consulta
tion with Mr. Crisp.
General debate was limited to three
hours , and Mr. Peel of Arkansas , chairman
of the committee , spoke in explanation of
the bill.
A large part of Mr. Peel's speech was de
voted to an argument in advocacy of the re
duction of the territory allotted to the In
dians and in favor of the passage of the bill
to ratify the agreement for the opening of
the Cherokee stnp , which bill be has not
been able to get a vote on , and cannot , under
the rules , put it on to the appropriation bill.
General debate was closed and Mr. Outh-
waite submitted the conference report on
the army appropriation bill in order that it
might be printed.
After Mr. Hooker had unsuccessfully en
deavored to get unanimous consent to pass
a bill for the relief of the Mississippians ,
and had announced his solemn purpose to be
a thorn in the side of ever } ' other member
who wanted any legislation until this bill
was passed , the house adjourned.
IX THE SENATE.
George Washington's Farewell Address
Head Appropriation llllU Considered.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Feb. 22. Today's
session of the senate was prefaced by the
reading of George Washington's farewell
address. This appropriate commemoration
of the birthday of the Father of his Country
was introduced five years ago through a
resolution offered by Mr. Hoar , and on that
occasion the address was read by Mr.
Ingalls , who was then president cf the sen
ate pro tern. Today H was read by Senator
Manderson of Nebraska , who holds the same
office. Mr. .Manderson is a peed elocutionist
and his reading had a close and respectful
attention on the part of senators and visitors
in the galleries.
There was little time wasted in finishing
up the sundry civil appropriation , after
which the conference report on the armj
appropriation bill was agreed to and the
consular and diplomatic appropriation was
brought before the senate. Before any prepress -
press was made on this bill , the senate pro
ceeded to the consideration of executive
business.
After a brief executive session the senate
took up and agreed to all the amendments
considered in committee of the whole last
night. The proviso , that the act of 131 , re
pealing the timber culture law , shall not
affect any case where the contest , pending
pnor to the passage of that act , was struck
out of the bill by a vote of 2S to IS , The
amendment appropriating $100,000 for a
military post at Helena , Mont. , and fixing
the limit of cost at 50,000 was agreed to.
The bill was then passed. The conference
report on the army appropriation bill was
called up and agreed to. The consular and
diplomatic appropriation bill was then taken
up , but without action the senate again
went into executive session.
When the doors were reopened the senate
adjourned.

CLETCU.XD , O. , Feb. 22. A plan for the

rnor McKinley wis decided upaa today.
rhc porcrnor will make an absolute and un
qualified assignment of his property to Her-
nan H. Kohlsaat , Myron T. Herrick and
Judpo William R. Day.
It is a general assls iment without reserva
tion , dedicating all the governor's property
to the equal benefit of his creditors without
reference. Governor McKinley determined
jpon this course for the reason. amont ; others ,
that he feels certain that these trustees ,
who are gentlemen of experience and ability
in business affairs , can realize more from his
estate for his creditors than he himself pos
sibly could , pressed as he is with public mat
ters.

A deed was executed by Mrs. McKinley
conveying her property to trustees for the
benefit of her husband's creditors. This deed
was placed in the hinds of Hon. M. A.
Hanna , of this city , to be dealt with In his
discretion.
This will be insufficient to satisfy all his
debts. What remains unpaid he will exe
cute his notes for and pay them as fast as he
can.
Governor and Mrs. McKinley will return

ST Lori * . Mo Feb. 22. [ Special Telegram
toTiit BEE. ] Governor Stone yesterday had
call from a delegation of the American
Protective association to give him pointers
about how to conduct his office. They re
quested him not to consider the names of
Catholic applicants for any office within his
plft. The governor listened to their state
ment patiently and then said :
' Gentlemen , you belong to the American
Protective association. I believe ? "
They replied in the affirmative , whereupon
Mr Stone informed them in language more
vigorous than diplomatic that he regarded
them as the exponents of an idea thut was
not only un-American but essentially un
democratic. In reply _ to their assertion that
Catholics owe their first alleplance to the
| > opc of Home , Mr. Stone said that while he
himself was n staunch Protestant he knew
Catholics whose patriotism he would not
barter for that of a set of men who tried to
restrict or at least make irksome liberty of
conscience by taking the privilege of holding
office away from members of a particular
sect.

BEE. ] The council last night dcverl.r
avoided committing Itself on the question of
granting another electric light franchise by
making the matter a special order for March
S3 , the meetlne before election. The old
cloctnc lighting company Is a power In local
politics , and as three of the oouncllmen are
candidates for mayor , and five for council ,
anything which would tend to hurt or shock
the old company is carefully avoided.

Frank for 2,503 for damages received in a

franchise to erect and maintain | x > los and
wires in the streets was called up. ana a
long discussion ensued. An amendment giv
ing the company a franchise for such streets
as'it now occupies , and for a line to the new
llock Island depot was adopted , but the
ordinance went ov"r a week.

A Friend
Wishes to speak through the Reg liter ol
the beneficial results be has received
from a regular use of Aycr's Pills ,
He says : "I was feeling sick and tired
and my stomach seemed all out of order.
I tried a number of remedies , but none
Beemed to give me relief until I was in
duced to try the old reliable Ayer's
Fills. I have taken only one box , but I
feel like a new man. I think they are
the most pleasant and'easy to take of
anything I ever used , being so finely
sugar-coated that even a child will taka
them. I urge upon all who are
SMeed
of a laxative to try Aysr's Pills. "
Boothbay ( Me. ) , Rtylster.
"Between the ages of five and fifteen ,
I was troubled with a kind of Bait-
rheum , or eruption , chiefly confined to
the legs , and especially to the bend of
the knee above the calf. Here , running
sores formed which would scab over ,
but would break immediately on mov
ing the leg. My mother tried every
thing she could think of , but all was
without avail. Although a child , I read
in the papers about the beneficial effects
of Ayer'o Pills , and persuaded my moth
er to let me try them. With no great
faith in the result , she procured
Ayer's ' Pills
and I began to use them , and soon
noticed an improvement. Encouraged
by this , I kept on till I took two boxes ,
when the sores disappeared and have
never troubled me since. " II. Chipman ,
Eeal Estate Agent , Koanoke , Va.
"I suffered for years from stomach
and kidney troubles , causing very severe
pains in various parts of the body. Kone
of the remedies I tried afforded me any
relief until I began taking Ayer'e Pills ,
and was cured. " Wai. Goddard , Notary

Is a thing that a man really knows as little about as
any one thing that he buys he very oflen trusts a
hatter 'more readily if the hatter trusts him. Some
times he gets fooled. A great many hats are sold
today by the name on the lining more than by the
quality of the hat men can read the name but the
quality well , that's guess work. Take Derby hats
sold today for five dollars didn't you get Just as
good a hat made by that same hatter for five dollars
ten years ago ? You bat you did. Do you have to
pay as muchfo/a'suitof clothes or a pair of shoes
as you did ten years ago ? Not by a democratic ma
jority you don't. Do you have to pay as much for
hats ? Not if you use the same common sense that
you do about other things. We'll sell you as good a
hat in every particular for three dollars as you can
buy for four or five dollars anywhere , and you can
have any shape , soft or stiff. We'll sell you a derby
hat
in any of five shapes , that any hatter would
ask yon a dollar and a half for. "We'll sell yon
"The Nebraska Special" hat , for a dollar fifty ,
and yon'll save exactly the price of it. "We open
onr new spring hats today. Yon don't have to
