WASHINGTON , April 19. The house Is
making very slow progress with the diplo
matic and consular appropriation bill. Al
most the entire day was devoted to thresh
ing over the old straw In the Hawaiian con
troversy , The text used as a basis for the
debate a motion to cut off the salary of the
Hawaiian minister was defeated when the
vote was taken without division. About 4
o'clock half the membership of the house
suddenly faded away to attend the opening
ball game of the season , and when this fact
was observed Mr. Cannon carried the com
mittee of the whole on nn amendment to
prevent the Increase In the salary of the
Mexican secretary of legation. The demo
crats were unable to produce a quorum , and ,
after a roll call , the house adjourned.
PRODDING TUB PACIFIC ROADS.
On motion of Mr. Hellly , chairman of Uio
committee on Pacific railroads , the following
resolution was adopted :
Resolved. That the secretary of the In
terior be directed to communicate to the
house nil Information In his possession ns to
what provision ( other than the sinking fund
maintained In the treasury under the act of
1878) ) the railroad corporations to whom
bonds were Issued by the United States under
the nets of 1862-1873 to old In the construc
tion of railroads and telegraph lines from the
Missouri river to the Pacific coast have
made or proposed to make for the payment
at maturity of Uio bonds Issued by said cor
porations , respectively , which are a prior
lien to the bonds Issued by the United States
under the acts before said , and whether any
of such bonds are hold or owned by cither
of the said companies. The house then went
t into committee of the whole and the
i consideration of the diplomatic and consular
* * appropriation bill was resumed. Mr. Ding-
ley of Malno replied to some of yesterday's
democratic strictures upon ex-Mlnlster Ste
vens and paid n high tribute to his per
sonal character and ability. Mr. McCreary
of Kentucky closed the general debate on
the bill.
The clerk then began to read the bill by
paragraphs for amendment. Mr. Lacey of
fered the amendment of which ho had given
notlco. striking out the appropriation fern
n minister to Hawaii. The amendment re
opened the Hawaiian controversy , which
was participated In by Messrs. Grosvonor ,
Dlnsmoro , Van Vorhls , Mllllken. Springer
and Hltt. The latter , the head of the
foreign affairs minority , declared that ordi
narily ho would oppose the withdrawal of
a minister , but the current business with
Hawaii could bo transacted with the consul
general. The withdrawal would not be per
manent. The Irresistible force of public
opinion would constrain the nmlnlstrntlon
to change Its policy and If the amendment
were adopted It would bo construed ns an
expression of the disapprobation of the rep-
of the American people.
/ CANNON GROWS SARCASTIC.
Mr Cannon was opposed to cutting off
Mr. Willis' salary. Ho thought Instead of
taking his salary away , Mr. Willis ought
bo given a bonus of $5,000 for the wear
Jto tear on his conslence and his Ken-
I' tucky chivalry.
1 } Mr. Gros'venor replied rather sarcastlc-
| tj ally to Mr. Springer's reference to Secre
tary Greslmm as a "great statesman. "
Mr. Grosvenor said Mr. Greslmm had held
olllco under the republican party ever since
the war. Ho had had a fleeting career as
secretary of the treasury and postmaster
general , but ho demanded a bill of partic
ulars of Mr. Greshum's claim to being a
great statesman. Mr. Sprlngor , In response ,
sketched Socrotnry droslmm's career from
Ills services In the army , his successive
appointments as district judge , secretary of
the treasury , postmaster general , circuit
judge , until the republican national conven
tion of 1888 , when ho was nomin
ated and presented by the republicans of
Illinois as their candidate for president.
This certificate of his brilliant , statesman
like qualities , Mr. Springer thought , ought
to bo as good an endorsement as the re
publicans on the other sldo could ask. To
their minds ho ceased to bo a great states
man when ho abandoned the republican
party.
"How do you know ho 1ms abandoned the
republican party ? " asked Mr. Morgan of
Missouri.
SPRINGER STANDS UP FOR GRESHAM.
"Oh ! " replied Mr. Springer , amid laughter ,
, \"I know that certain men on this side suspect -
< pect Judge Greslmm , but I , for one , rejoiced
In his selection as secretary of state. "
. Mr. Doutelle hold Secretory Greslmm up to
pi'Ul.lc scorn In his vehement and impulsive
manner. "What government is Willis ac
credited to ? " ho asked , addressing Mr. Mc-
Crenry.
"Tho do facto government , " replied Mr.
McCreary ,
"I thank the chairman of the foreign af
fairs committee for this rny of light , " said
Mr. rwutelto. "I am glad to learn that the
administration recognized the government
which John L. Stevens recognized when the
revolution occurred , " ( Republican applause ) .
"Does the gentleman not know ministers
are always accredited to the do facto gov
ernment ? " asked Mr. .McCreary.
"Presumably so , " retorted Mr. Uoutcllo ,
"but If I undertsand the English language In
this case. Mr. Willis was Instructed by Mr.
Cleveland and Mr. Grcsham to sing sweet
songs in the ears ot the do facto govern
ment , but to secretly nicognlzo her majesty
the queen , " ( Laughter and applause ) .
The vote was then taken on tlio Lacey
amendment , and It was lost without division.
The committee then arose. Mr. Sayers pre
sented the conference report on the urgency
deficiency bill. It was agreed to and the
house , at4CO : p. m. , adjourned.

WASHINOTON , April 19. Comment has
been causedby the announcement that Sen
ator Whlto of California favors the new
Chinese treaty. To the Associated press the
senator has given for the first time the
reasons for his attitude on this subject.
"Tho treaty recognizes , " ho said , "tho
validity of the Geary and McCreary acts , and
explicitly declares that the Chinese govern
ment will not object to their enforcement.
This Is a substantial gain , because the supreme
premo court sustained the validity of the
Geary law by a more majority , and ono of
the Justices whose votes determined the case
has died , so that all recognize the uncer
tainty of a second presentation to that tri
bunal. "
The provision whereby the United States
agrees to furnish annually to China the
names of our citizens , Including mission
aries who reside there , Is In effect a guar
antee by the Chinese empire that the Amer
icans will not bo disturbed. Missionaries
need have no solicitude hereafter. While
the Chinese government Is not friendly to
American residents , the effect of the pro
vision Is to make It liable , pecuniarily and
otherwise , to our pcoplo there. The Chinese
do not , enjoy paying damages.
AH to the criticism against the privilege
to Chinese- laborers having a wife , child or
parent In the United States , property or
debts , ho says : "Tho provision only applies
to laborers who are registered. If wo agree ,
as In the Geary and McCreary acts , that
they may remain permanently , If they regis
ter , I see no objection to their temporary
absence. I admit that a Chinaman will
swear to anything , but In this case his verac
ity Is passed upon by an American official.
Individuals professing to bo Interested have
announced that the proposed treaty will open
the door to a Chinese Invasion. No
laborer can enter without a' return certifi
cate , and If wo admit that there may bo
substitution ( which I do not concede ) , the
number of laborers cannot be Increased , as
ono certificate represents ono man.
"Tho right to return was explicitly recog
nized by congress In the Morrow net of 18SS ,
and the legislation was at that time con
sidered by antl-Chlnesu advocates ns pro
gressive. The present treaty Is drawn up
on the lines of the Morrow bill , and as soon
as It becomes evident that the Chinese gov
ernment Intends to ratify It a bill can be
passed providing for the enforcement of the
treaty provisions and containing proper and
stringent regulations and penalties. The
Morrow bill contained no provision for photo
graphs , which Is now supplled'by the Geary
and McCreary laws.
"Tho Chinese government refused to agree
to the treaty ot 1888 upon the ground that
certificates issued to a departing Chinese
laborer should bo granted by a Chinese con
sul. Mr. Cleveland said In his message to
congress , dated October 1 , 1888 , approving
the Scott exclusion act , that the obvious and
necessary effect ot this contention would bo
practically to place the execution of the
treaty beyond the control of the United
States. "
I'KIllCINS TALKS ON TAKIFF.
Senator Alien Hpoiiki on Terror's Coxcy
Hcsnlutlon ,
WASHINGTON , April 19. The day In the
senate was almost entirely consumed by a
speech against the pending tariff bill by
Senator Perkins of California. The speech
was mainly devoted to a discussion of the
articles which directly affected California ,
wool and fruits , bllver , beet sugar , etc. , al
though he considered other features In the
bill In which his state was not Interested ,
but which were opposed to republican prin
ciples , and which ho accordingly arraigned.
But little business was transacted during
the morning hour , the agreement ot the
senate to the report of the conference
committee- the urgent deficiency bill
being the most important.
Senator I'effer stirred up qulto a hornet's
nest by calling up his resolution for the
appointment of a committee on communica
tions to receive the petition of Coxey's
army. Ho explained the object of the resolution
elution as being a preparation for the
proper reception of this body of men and
to give them every facility to
present their grievances to con
gress. The senate , regarded by
many as the American house of lords , would
have an opportunity to show that It was not
out of touch with the people by appointing
this committee. The country , ho said , was
on the verge of trouble , and unless we were
wlso and managed our affairs with discretion ,
wo would regret It In the near future. The
times were ripe for such movements , but
this \yas a peaceful body of men , coming
hero to personally lay their grievances before
congress.
Mr. I'offor was followed by Senator Al
len , populist , of Nebraska , who , while not
entirely approving of Coxey's action , as
serted the perfect right of Coxey and his
followers to come to Washington If they
chose. And not only that , but they had a
right to come Into the capital and occupy
the galleries ot the senate , and it would be
ns wlsa on the part ot the senate to refuse
them this privilege. They hud also a
right to bo heard , and no man , whether he
bo u senator or a citizen , had a right to
deny them that right. Ho bitterly de
nounced the report that General Ordway of
the National guard of the District ot Co
lumbia was preparing to mobilize the mll-
Itla at the confines of the District ot Colum
bia.
bia."This
"This man Is coming hero with perfect
right. " continued Mr. Allen , "with rights
which under the constitution are as sacred
as these of any other man , woman or child ,
tuid yet wo witness the spectacle of this city
being thrown Into convulsions over the ex
pectation of seeing this peaceful body of men
como Into the city. '
At G o'clock eulogies were pronounced on
the late Representative W. II. Enochs of
Ohio , after which the senate , at [ ilfi : , ad
journed.

WASHINGTON. April 19. Secretary Car
lisle today received the following telegram
from the collector of customs at Tacoma ,
Wash : "One hundred and nineteen China
men applied for admission ; some- are bona
lido merchants , but If the attorney general's
recent ruling Is strictly enforced they can
not bo admitted , because their names , as In
the case of movt Chinese firms , do not appear
In the linn name , " The collector asks In
structions In the promises , which were sent
to him early today , In answer to a query
from another party and were later given to
the press.
Secretary Carlisle sent the following tele
gram to the collectors of customs at all of
the porti at which Chinese usually enter the
United States ; "Chinese merchants domi
ciled In the United States and who departed
prior to November 3 last may bo permitted
to land upon evidence sulllclont to satisfy
you ot their Identity ns returning merchants.
These who left the United States since Nqv-

STORY OF A FAKE.
Itcnl anil Imaginary Inter\Iuw wltb 3
hatolli.
Tlio World-Herald published on the 13th
Inst. a sensational dispatch from Washing
ton under these thrilling headlines : "In a
ToweringIlage. . " "Satolll Hears tlio News
of the Bishop Bonncum Trial In Omaha. "
"Cannot Conceal His Displeasure at the
Way Things Have Gone. " "Denounces the
Course Taken by Bishop Hennessy In the
Strongest Terms Possible. " "Nothing Has
Stirred the Papal Delegate So Much Since
His Coming to America. " "English Falls
Him and He Falls Back on His Italian to
Express Himself A Spicy Interview. "
The dispatch , shorn of startling- Introduc
tory , had the earmarks of a fake. It rep
resented Mgr. Satolll's features as "dis
torted with rage , " which he did not at
tempt to conceal from the correspondent.
"He spoke angrily and rapidly , " says the
dispatch , "at first In English. " The cor
respondent was careful not to quote his
words , and In order to cover his trucks said
the delegate Jumped from English to Italian ,
and In a combination of both tongues "de
nounced the com so of the archbishop. The
absense of an Interpreter at the Interview
prevented your correspondent from catching
the full Import of the monslgnore's words. "
Of coun e. The absence of an Interpreter
was not as regretable ns the correspondent
makes it appear , for the simple reason that
the monslgnore was not Interviewed , did
not talk In English or Italian , and there
fore a mind render Instead of an Interpreter
was necessary to "catch the full Import"
of whatever thoughts Illlcd the delegate's
mind.
The dispatch was clipped and forwarded
to the papal delegation In Washington. The
clipping was returned to a gentleman in

WASHINOTON , April 1C. Dear Friend :
The truth In regard to that clipping : At
half an hour nfter midnight a reporter
knocked nt the door of our house. Mgr.
Satolll heard the knocking , which continued
some time. He himself arose from bed to
answer , and partly opened the door. The
reporter handed him a telegram. He looked
at It and saw what It treated of , returned
It and shut the door In his face , without
saying a word. All this has been said by
Satolll. E. PAPI ,
Secretary Mgr. Satolll.

COLUMBIA , S. C. , April 19. The Tlllmnn
stuto dispensary liquor law has been de
clared unconstitutional by the supreme ?
court of South Carolina , two justices con
curring and one ( Tillmnnlte ) member of thu
supreme bench dissenting- from thu opinion.
The decision was rendered by Chief Jus
tice Mclver , Justice McGowan assenting.
Justice Pope ( the Tlllman justice ) dissents ,
The decision was rendered In a composite
cnso composed of a case originating In Dar
lington and appealed to thu supreme court
by the state authorities , nml several cases
JikewlHo appealed by the state. The ground
on which the law Is declared unconstitu
tional Is that It creates a monopoly for the
state. Justice Mclvers' decision declares
the law unconstitutional In nearly every re
spect , and especially holds that It cannot
be upheld on any vital point. The prollt to
the state feature is declared vicious ,
Governor Tlllman says that lie Is not
talking ; that It It ) time only for action.
