"That pertiapa Is a very Just argument for
the Cuban , " continued Mr , Hltt , "but not
for PCI American , If wo arc to have war. let
tis faca It directly , not bo forced by a
chance. "
Mr , Hltt spoke of Spinlah authority In
Havana 06 tottering between armed forces
without and lumtiltous riot within , but with
Imprenslvc worjs warned the members that
the vast responsibility of notion , with the
rcomeatoud coraequences that might ensue ,
rented en the shoulders of the executive , not
on mernberu of congrcs. } who might bo mak

"Let u * remember , " said ho , "that we have

LKK IS ON GUARD
Ho referred to Ocseral Leo as an officer
of ability end expc.-lo.ico , who can be relied
on to goird Jealously our honor at Havnn.i ,
end concluded with an eloquent appeal to the
member. } of the house , though they might
hnvo dlfferenceo , to drown all other voices
&a they did In the Venezuelan crisis , nnJ
fctacd by the president and the coimtry.
Whl c ho could not prophesy as to the future ,
l < o assured the country tnat the house would
not dlwppolnt the expcctat'ona of hla coun-
tr > mcn
Throughout Mr Hltt's apcech he was
H-tened to with the closest attention. Mcm-
berj crowded about him and thronged gal
leries leaned over to catch hla words. AH he
cencluded n roar of approval swept the Moor
and the galleries .
Mr. Dlnsmoro ( Ark ) , a democratic member
ot the foreign affairs committee , declared
the time had come for giving the Cubans the
recognition they had HO long sought. Ho
arraigned Mr. Hltt and the icpubllcan aide
for alleged Inconsistency , citing their Cuban
speeches under the Cleveland administration ,
and then branched off to tariff , civil service ,
bimetallism nnd various other topics He-
turning to Cuba , ho declared that no act
by this government could bring war with
Spain , for a bankrupt monarchy which
could not put down 35,000 ragged Cuban sol
diers , would not enter upon a contest with
the United Statca.
CONTRASTS ADMINISTRATIONS.
Mr. Adams ( rep. , Pa. ) , a member of the
forolun ,1 ft a Ira committee , followed Mr. Dlna-
more , and contrasted the apatny c * the lent
administration toward Cuba with the
achievements of this , dwelling particularly
0:1 : the release of nil American prisoners In
Cuba , the change in the Spanish war moth-
ols and the abandonment ot the policy of
concentration. Ho maintained that the rec
ognition ot belligerency was puiely an cv-
ecntlvo function.
"Did jou not vote for belligerency In the
last congress' " nsked Mr. Sulzer
"I did , " responded Mr. Adams , "but then
we wore seeking to protect American prop
erty ; that property Is now destrojeil. Wo
wcro fceklng to free Ameilcan piUoncia ;
they arc now all free This whole question
Is nearlng a solution ot Its O.MI weight.
Spain Is bankrupt It cannot send another
man to Cuba. There arc rluts In Havana
Iho handwriting has appealed ou the wall. "
In leply tu a ilrect que * Ion as to why h's '
subcommittee had not reported the aerate
icsolutlon ho a Id the committee had called
for olllciil Information. "We cann t rely on
newspaper icports when wo eo In thla citj
the ' wo sides ot the q icatloii presented by
diffeicnt newspapers. "
Olr Bcrrj ( Jem , Kj ) eloquently pleadel
Cuba's carie. After 30,000 Cubans tad gone
do.vn to tielr death during the last four
jcars , he eald. It wa3 chjurd for members to
stand1 on the Iloor ct the house and deny that
o. state of war c\ls a on the Ulaml todaj.
"I don't fear war , " said Mr. Berrj. "I
think a llttlo blood running would be gaaJ
fcr us. Let Spain fire on the American nag
Just oice and the fianio will bo kindled that

"But what will 'happen to us ? " aiftcd Mr.
Maluney.
"Oh , we can take care of ourselvoa , " re

said , trat the eonsldera Ion of the resolution

Aftc * thu reading of the Journal

ocnelualon of the moinlng business , move to
ako up the Teller resolution which wna
reported by the finance commlttco josterday
A bill authorising the attoiney goncrul , the
bccretary of the treasurj and the secretary
of war to compionilso aud adjust certain

A Joint icailutlcr * provlellrg for the appoint
ment ot a commission to nuke a aurvoy of a
ship canal from the lower part of Luke
Michigan to the Wabash rher was offered
by Mr Turplo ( hid ) and referred 'lo the
committee on commerce.
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution relative to
the i cccnt order of the postmaster general
reducing the * number ot letter carriers In
some of the largo cities on account ot a
de'Ulency ' In- the free delivery appropriation ,
the appropriation providing that the commit
tee on postoincen and post rends should im-
miHllately tiscertaln vvhat amount was neces-
Biry to protect the free delivery seivlco of
the country. For his reaoiutlon Mr. Hoai
asked ipimedlato cctisldeiatlon.
Mr. Wolcott. cbalrmatu of the commlttet
on poctofllcca and pest roads , objected to
the reference of thu rcso'utlon to his commit
tee. Ho Bald the committee ) wao utterly
powerless to afford relief for the tioublo at
which the resolution WES directed Ho
thought the resolution ought by all mean- ,
go to the commlttco on appropriations The
committee on poalolllces and peat roaels , he-
addc-d , Is anxious to extend and make nioru

Mr Hoar thought the question wasij. most

Mr , Allison urged that the postmaster gen
eral bo sent s resolution' Inejulrjns vvrly the
Issuance of Mich an order ns hael provoked
this discussion was necessary And what
remedy wag' ' needed. No suggestion had
loin madu" to Iho lommltteo on approprla-
tlcns tl at the postmaster general has not at
his disposal MilTlctent funds to meet the needa
of his c'i'partinent.
At this point Mr. Wolcott ld ho desired
to call the senate's attention to the real
lias's ' of the trouble with the financial affairs
3f the Pcstotnco department. "It la wall
understood , " tald Mr , Wolcott , "that the
iucond-clasa mall nf this country absorbs
jj per cunt of the expenses ot the PaatclQco
Icpartment and supplies only about 3 per
: eut ot the revenues. This U the serious
point ot this discussion , and If congrc <
should eaact Into law the measures rolatin ;
td second-class matter which will ho lalil
before It the recurrence ? of the present dlfll'
cully will be obv.ated. "
Mr Wolcott , then callel Attention to the
opposition of the ! publishers ot New Eng
land to the enactment of the 1)111 restricting
second-class matter.
Mr All n spoke sarcastically1 of the good
times tlie people of Ne England were hav
ing under the Dlngley law with their strikes
and lockouts Ho thought that a good man. )
ot them would now have tlmo to go to the
postofilces to get their mall If It was not
promptly delivered by a carrier. He though !
the great point Involved In the discussion
of postolllco finances aa the charge that
there was an annual leakage of from $3,000-
OOU to $10,000,009 on account ot the under-
weighing of mall matter.
"It Is most remarkable. " said Mr , Allen ,
"that charges of such gravity should bo
made In the public prints , and jet the party
la power should reunaln with reference to
them as silent ns the grave. If we only had
the nerve to take hold of these frauds and
eradicate them we should have money enough
to put a corps of efficient letter carr era in
every city In the land. "
Mr Chandler objected to the present con
sideration ot the Hoar resolution , suggested
by Mr Allison , nnd It wont over.
Mr Chandler presented and secured the
passage of a resolution directing the commit
tee on Interstate commerce to Inquire
whether the fund' ' provided for In rules 16
and 17 of the Joint Traffic association Is
lawfully Cn existence ; to examine the de
tails of its expendlturo as to whether or not
It had been expended for lawful purposes ,
nnd whether any Illegal or Improper use of
the funds could bo prohibited and punished
by law.
Mr. Harabrough called up a bill which had
bec-a oont to the senate by the house , pro
viding that receivers of public money should
bo responsible under their bonds for all
money received by them from the sale of
Indian lands. The bill pasted the senate on
Menday , but Mr. Hansbrough's dcslro was
that the bill should bo enacted Into a law
by the pcivngo of thej houoa bill. The bill
wra passed.
Mr. Tlllmnn presented a resolution for
which he-askeJ Immediate consideration , ex
tending the authority of the Interstate Com
merce commission so It might Inquire to
what rate railroad companies Issue passes ,
wl ether the ral'roads fi\c trarsportatlon foi
any other ccnslileratlon than cash , and wlat
arrangements they had with newsrapeis re
garding transposition.
Mr. Culloni , chairman of the cammlttce , ob.
Jected to the consideration of the resolution ,
21 It would Involve a long and tedious In
vestigation by the committee , which waj
rnxlcus to get some bills before congress
during the present session. Ho said he had
no deslro to evade the truth In .anj part
of the Investigation , but lie was satisfied that
the committee now had sufllclent teitlmonj
before It to Indicate the need of ctrlngont
legislation. It had been shown , ho slid , that
in the scalping business not only outsiders
but the agents of some railroads were en
gaged. "I do not want to Investigate-
throughout the jcar , " said he , "but desire to
piepare tome bill which will cure the cvlb
wo have found. "
Mr. Vest recalled h's notlco that ho would
move to take up the Teller resolution for the
reason that several senators lateresteJ in it
weie absent. He gave notice that ho would
move to take It up tomorrow.
At 2 20 o'c'ock ' , on motion of Mr. Davis , the
senate went Jnto executive session , and at

The vote cast for Judge McComas shows
nn Increase of two over thnt received by him
yesterday. One ot these came from Senator
Dobler of Baltimore city , who left the Shaw
rankJ , and the other from Delegate DryOcu
of Somerset , who was absent on the first
day of the balloting. Major Shaw's loss
through the desertion of Senator Dobler was
made up by the accession of Delegate Ilobln-
son of nnltltnoro city , who voted for Gen
eral Shryock ycuterelay. Senator Gorman
gained n vote In the person of Senator Ap-
plcgarth , who voted yesterday for Judge
Henry Pago.
The outcome of the day's balloting was a
distinct disappointment to the follower * of
Judge McComas , they hiving confidently ex-
pectcd a gain of at least eight moro votes
than they get. This feature la thought tc' '
Indicate the possible return of Postmaster
General Gary c.i a candidate , as these votes ,

Many expect a "Shrjock landslide" within
a few dijs It some ono Is not chosen In that

will almost certainly bo held tomorrow night
and an attempt w 111 bo made to force the r -
calcltrants Into line. Thlity-r.no signatures
l-avi been appended to the call and It Is as-
sotted that six more will be added before
midnight. Thirty-four arc necessary to bc-
cure a majority of the republican members
and senators of the general assembly.
H h said that Pcstmrster General Gary
l.flr requested his six supporters , who hnvo

COLUMBUS , 0. , Jan. 10. The Investiga
tion into the clnrge of bribery nt the loccnt
election of a" United States senator reached
o crlsk tonight. No matter what may be
Iho final result of the Investigation there
v.JIl likely be several witnesses arrested for
contempt. The committee had seven wit
nesses subpoenaed for tonight , but they were
not all examined , because none of them
would testiCj.
The spriito'commltteo ' last nlnht examined
Samuel peiitland , Frank P. rioas , W. r
Ti uisdale ; and Shepherd M. Dunlap , who then
asked to confer with their ottornos and
weru excused till tonight for that purpose.
When they appeared tonight they said their
attorneys held that the senate I.fld no juris
diction In the investigation of the alleged
bribery of a member of the liouss , and had
advised them not to answer any further
ques ifns before the committee. They all
followed the advice of their attorneys ai
dirt Mr. Ilollcnbeck , who was not on the
stand hst night.
When the committee found that the advice
of the attorneys was belcg followed uni
formly byi-all the witnesses called , the open
fosslon vvps closed and the committee vent
Inti executive session on plans for further
procedure.
The senate chamber was crowded while
the committee , In open session , attempted
ifrom 7 30 to 0 p. in , to examine the wit
nesses , and the action of the witnesses
catibed demonstrations of deri-slon. The
wltnes"ps did not decline to tell the name
of their counsel and their replies showed
that mcst omlnert lawyers had been en
gaged In tha case.
It Is not denied that the house has juris
diction , but attorneys have told the wit
nesses that the senate has no Jurisdiction ,
and that they need1 not reply to their ques
tions. The members of the houao Investlga.
tlon committee were present today by Invl-
tatlon , and they wcro requested to asli
questions , but none of them took any part
Judge Robertson , Who has served with dis
tinction on the bench at Cincinnati , Is s
member of the senate committee , and U
prosecutor. Ho wore himself out tonight
in asking questions and getlng the monoto
nous reply , "On the advice ot counsel J
decline1 t > o answer. "
As the committee will make a partial re
port to the senate tomorrow a lively time Is
expected. The committed will ask the senate
to punish the witnesses for contempt and
to give the Investigators full authority
The committee was In executive sccslon
fiom 9 to 11 o'clock and adopted by a vote
of 4 to 1. Garfield voting In the negative , a
resolution to refer the whole matter back
to the senate and ask for further Instruc
tions and power.

contlnucxl his speech In advocacy of thi
ralincntlon of the lUwnllan annoxatloi
treaty In flio executive session ot the senati
today. Ho announcol at the conclusion o
today's session that ho probably would re
quire ono more < J.ty In which to complete hi :
presentation cf < thc subject.
Senator Morgan dealt today with the quoa
tlono of the sgrlcultural and commercial IM )
olbllltles on the Irliuuls , with the charactci
of itho present government and with the po
sltlon of tha residents of the IsUmla on tin
subject of annexation. Ho repeated his aa
eertlon that 1'resldent Cleveland was favor
able to the acqu'altlon of tiho Islands , and ex ,
prcuToJ the opinion that It was his Intcntlct
lo have restored Queen LllluokaUnl and U
have negotiated wltli her a treaty of annexa

Ilevc4 It was Mr. Cleveland's Intention tt
hive annexed the Islands , ho naturall }
changed his Intention to do this through
the restoration of fho queen , when she made
known hur Wooathlrety disposition towan'
thee who had JtithronoJ her. Ho oxpretued
the opinion that Mr. Cleveland would nevoi
bivo taken sut'h ' a poltlvo position as h (
did taka against the Dole government , nm
In opK | > 3ltlou to annexation but for 'tho ixn-
tagsnlstlc and misleading' report ot Comuils-
flouer Blount.
The senator VMS Inte-rrtiptod at thla polnl
by two or three senators whet were oppoiod
to the treaty , who wnntod to knsw If It wet
not true that Mr. Cleveland had withdrawn
the treaty for annexation made by the llotr-
rlson administration ,
He admitted tint this waa the case , saying
It wna a matter of record , but ho still con
tended that under conditions entirely to his
liking Mr. Cleveland would have supported
annexation.
Mr. Morgan had1 been convinced from pri
vate Interviews with the cx-prcsldont that
ho not only Relieved In the wisdom of an
nexation of Hawaii , but that ho would also
have recommended the annexation of Cuba
under right comlltloiu.
Mr. Morgan took up the criticisms on the
present government of Hawaii , < lofendlng It
In strong terms and eulogblng Mr. Dole na
ono of the most competent mlers of the
time. He reviewed Mr. Dole's history and
oi'rt lib rcctiil showed ho would bo a cred
itable head of any nation
lie controverted the Idea that the present
covetnnient was , na had been charged , a
ml uloi iry government , claiming It was In
every way stanch and enterprising anl
abreast of the tlmcu. Ho said the people
nalir-ally sought a. clcse alllanco with th
United States because 'they alwajs had far
frlcnJ'hlp aiij suppott of the people of this
country
Speaking of the resources of the Hands Mi
Morgan said they were manifold , and the
time would como when thej would produce
enough coffco to ijupply the demands of nli
the people ef the United States , while , h
said , sugar production had already reacheJ
1(3 ( limit. Ho estimated there were at least
17C.OOO acres of land In the Islnnds adapted
to the growth of colfee , and said that In
dustry wa" rapidly developing. Ho thought
at least 7,500 tens of coffee would be ov
potted from the Islands- the picsent year
Flo concluded that the resources of the coun
try wcro such as to Insure a ve > ry prospercui
future , and predicted that Honolulu vfould
some time In the not dt.-'ant future attain to
great commercial Importance , equal. In all
probability , to Khat of Hong Kong , or other

leaves the situation as regareU the plijer

ho would have been sure of fourth money ,
with a fair chance for third. His v-ctoiy
las' night over Schaefer gave him confidence' ,
but Catton , after getting warmeTd up , began
piling up the caroms In a most dishearten
ing \ny , and In the- eighteenth Inning took
the lead with a clever run of 30. Splnks
came back with a pretty cluster of 41 , but
the Hock Island boy wa3 not to bo denied ,
and returned the compliment with a run of
Sl/to which he added 50 In the twentv-first
Innlrg , practically clinching the game.
Splnks made tlneo double llguro inns In the
next ten innings , but offset them with four
singles and three gcose esgs , so ho did not
become dangerous Then Catton In turn lost
his grip , allowing Splnks to creep up on him
He , however , managed to stay long enough to

out utter a flml conference > esterduy. The
rules must now be submitted to the seven
universities ivhlch united in presenting the
committee and a haid light la likely over
their adoption.
The altPiatlons in the rules ire lees
sweeping1 than many anticipated The vital
change. 1 that radically altering the present
sj&tein of scoring. The goal , after a touch-
clown. Is bl-Ueel to count for only ono addi
tional point , the drop 1'tck for four , the
place kick for three , and the sifoty for
twoThere
There Is no ebange. of the men In the line ,
but It Is provided that If two men are drawn
back of the line they shall be outride of
the line of scrimmage. Another bafeguird
ngalnst loughnoss li tint imposing , i penalty
for laying hands on opponents before the
ball is put into play.
An Important alteration also Is that permitting
mitting- the side tcored on the choice of
kick off.
Other changes suggested are In elellnlng
the safetv ; allowing- fifteen yards Instead of
ten on tha klckout after a kick for goal
on the tlrst down ; permitting only two mln-
iitos of tlmo taken out for Injuries , nnd mod
ifying the penalty Impositions when the ball
Is clo o to the goal line. The committee
