CORPUT’S BILL
To Change the Registration
Law Come Up
IN THE SENAT E YESTERDAY
Neel, Branch and Stiles Amuse
the Members—The Calvin
Bank Bill.
Bpedal to the Tribune.
Atlanta, Nov. 4.— Mel Branch furn
ished the money in the House today, or
rather Me) and S iles, the negro member
from Liberty. The special order of the
day was the state bank bill by Mr. Calvin.
Them tier comes up under a substitute
for the original bill.
Everybody knew that Mel was loaded
for an artack on the democratic party,
and he was one of the first speakers in
the measure. His speech was in manu
script and consisted principally of an
attack on the bill, which be said be con
sidered unwise, unjust and worse than
Rissless.
' Ths bill was taken up by Lections, and
iu the second section Branch sprang bis
speech. The point was raised that he
mustcirfine himself to the discussion
’of the sec ion under consideration, and
tha clnir sustained the point of order,
but by unanimous consent he was allowed
to driver his speeches ,as written our.
Now, Mel seems to have hard luck.
Every time he spesks the first member to
pall him down is the gentleman from
Liberty. That was the cas today. The
gentlem -n from Co’umbia disHkes -ex
ceedingly to have the colored TSember to
argue w th him, and thft-'boys, knowing
this, are careful tty^sea that Stiles is

New York, Nov. 14.—The demand

slackened considerably, and several im

London market, have not met with the
success the underwriters expected.
Foreign exchange has shown an ad

WILL THERE BE WAR
Willis Has Been Ordered to
Restore the Queen,
SEVERE CRITICISM HEARD.
One Senator Says the Presi
dent Has Openly Violated
the Constitution.
Washington, No. 14.—There is no
longer any doubt in the minds of public
men here that Minister Willis has been
instructed to restore the monarchy in the
Hawaiian Islands, by force if necessary
and without regard to the consequences.
Secretary Gresham is confident that the
restoration can be effected without
bloodshed and even without serious op
position. This view of the case the
secretary is known to have urged upon
the president. The president, however,
has not attached much weight to this con
sideration. He has examined the whole
affair with that painstaking diligence
that characterizes everything he does,
and after satisfying himself that Secre
tary Gresham’s recommendations are
based upon truth and justice he has sent
Minister Willis to the Hawaiian Islands
to carry them out. The question of the
possible consequences of using force to
restore the queen has never moved him;
he has decided that the government of
the United States rather than the Cleve
land administration, owes ic to itself, as
well as to a weak but friendly neighbor
ing power, to mete cut exact justice and
thus right a wrong that, in his opinion,
would stain his own administration
quite as much as that of his predeces
vi ere it permitted to go uncorrected.
He Is Supported by the Cabinet.
It can be said on the authority that
the president has had tho hearty support
of his cabinet in the formulation of Min
ister Willis’ instructions. There is prob
ably good basis for the reports that when
Secretary Gresham first urged his view
of the case upon the president. Secretary
Lamont and Attorney General Olney
doubted the wisdom of carrying out
such a policy. They are said to have
maintained that whatever wrongs might
have been committed by the Harrison
administration they squid not lie laid at
the door of the present regime; while,
on the other hand, by reason of repeated
recognition, but more especially on ac
count of the long delay of the adniinis
tion in acting upon the request of the
provisional government for annexation,
the islanders had been led to believe
that under no circumstances would the
queen be restored, and they had there
fore settled down to the new order of
things with confidence that it would be
permanent. The president’s reply to all
this was brief. He simply said that the
delay was necessary to get at the facts,
and these having been ascertained it
only remained for this government to
do its duty.
Secretary Herbert’s loyalty to the pres
ident has been most gratifying to him.
Surrounded by scores of ambitious naval
officers, who have waited eagerly for the
annexation of the islands, and who have
taken an almost personal pride in the
action of Captain Wiltse in landing the
from the Boston, he has stood
■HBMidiis chief in the policy
a stern rebuke to
>ris■
Lu reiterate trim me American troops
took no part in the moveihent, and
that the revolution was initiated by
the late queen and forced upon the peo
ple of Hawaii, who, in self-defense took
action terminating in a condition of af
fairs menacing to life and property, and
which was no longer tolerable.
“The claim of the provisional govern
ment is that, regardless of the method of
how it got there, it is today the only
government in Hawaii, recognized as
such at home and abroad, an I that any
attempt to forcibly overturn i&by a for
eign power is in the nature of war
against a friendly government, which, as
I understand, requires the consent of
congress. lam not informed that the
president is recommended to arrogate
any such power to himself, and he has
no right to assume it.
“The monarchy cannot be restored
except through this force from without,
and if that supporting force is with
drawn it will be forthwith overthrown.
There will be no safety for those who
have supported the provisional govern
ment if the queen is restored, and if the
attempt is made I fear that the results
will be of the gravest character. I be
lieve that bloodshed will be the inevita
ble result, and Americans, American
property and agricultural interests will
be the greatest sufferers.
rl ilt r Credit.
San Francisco, Nov. 14.—Hawaiian
Consul Wilder was disagreeably sur
prised the other day, when lie presented
a draft drawn on the provisional gov
ernment at a bank and the bank refuse!!
to honor it. It was explained to him by
the bank officials that they did not know
what might happen to Honolulu in view
of this government’s action, and they
did not care to take any risks. Hereto
fore the drafts on the provisional gov
ernment have been paid without ques
tion. It is said m?rchants here are un
easy about the situation, and that they
will make no shipments of freight.to
Honolulu on the next steamer which is
going out in a day or so. They aro
waiting to see what is going to happen.
HONDURAS IS SORRY.
And the Apology Is Perfectly Satisfactory
to Your Uncle Sam.
Washington, Nov. 14.—Honduras has
apologized for the firing upon the Amer
ican mail steamer Costa Rica on Nov.
6, because the commander of the vessel
refused to surrender ajpasseugiT ntuheiT
Bonilla, who was wanted by the Hondu
ras authorities.
Minister Young, acting under Secre
tary Gresham’s directions, called on
President Vasquez, of Honduras, and
presented this government’s demand for
an apology. President Vasquez has
placed Colonel Velella, who ordered the
firing under arrest, and stated that the
incident resulted from a misunderstand
ing. Secretary Gresham give out the
following:
“When authentic information was re
ceived at the state department of the
firing upon the American mail steamer
Costa Rica at Amapala on the 6th inst.,
because of the refusal of the captain to
deliver up Bonilla, a passenger. Gen
eral Young, the United States minister
to Honduras, under instructions sent by
Secretary Gresham by direction of -the
president, protested against the act and
demanded an apology. The government
of Honduras promptly disavowed the
conduct of its c-ficers and expressed sin
cere regret for the occurrence.”
The apology on the part of the Hondu
ras government is entirely satisfactory
to the United States, and it is believed
that this will end the incident.

HAVE RESIGNED.
Two of the Cabinet Said to
Have Resigned.
HOKE SMITH AND MORTON.
Mr. Morton Denies the Report
Most Positively-Smith’s
Friends Also Deny It.
Washington, Nov. 14.—A story was
spread broadcast which seems to have
had its origin in gossip at the Metropoli
tan club, in this city, that there were
strong dissensions in the cabinet on the
Hawaiian situation.
The rumor was definite as to the cab
inet officers who were not in accord with
the administration, and named Secreta
ries Hoke Smith and Morton. It stated
that they had tendered their resignations
at the last cabinet meeting, or would do
so at the next one.
Secretary Morton was seen and gave
an absolute denial to the rumor stating
that he had not resigned and that he had
never thought of doing so. It can be
further said that Secretary Morton is in
accord with the president on his Haw
aiian policy and that Secretary Hoke
Smith has not in any manner given pub
lic expression to disagreement or given
reason to suppose that he entertains an
opinion differing from those of the presi
dent on the matter.
The Ex-President’s Brother Appointed.
Washington, Nov. 14.—The presi
dent has appointed J. Scott Harrison
surveyor of the port of Kansas City,
Me.«ijnd M. L. Davis, of Arkansas, con
sul Mexico.
Mr. Harrison is the Democratic
brother of ex'-President Harrison.
THE M’CAULY MISSION.
Very Likely That Atlanta Will Have One
Modeled Like 11.
Atlanta. Nov. i4.-~Among.the iniuiy
evi b nc-s of good that may be reasona
bly expected from the gathering of so
great a number of prominent Christian
workers in this city, is the prospect of
the organizeiion of a p.-rarmiat institu
tion here, fashioned after the famous
Jerry MeCauly mission of New York.
The movement has been started, and
some liberal offers of financial backing
have been tendered for the enterprise.
Mr. S. 11. Hadley, who is superintend
ent of the MeCauly mission, and who is
here in attendance on the convention,
will make an effort to start the matter
under way before he leaves for the
north.
The first speaker of the morning was
Rev. A. J. Calvert, of Milwaukee, who
gave an account of the rescue mission in
that city, which was noted for its good
beer.
The next speaker was Mr. Amos
Baker, of Watertown, N. Y.
He was introduced as the biggest man
of the convention, as he weighs about
300 pounds.
He was a drunken gambler, and was
converted in a rescue mission established
by Colonel Hadley, and now he is in
charge of another rescue mission estab
lished by Colonel Hadley.
Following Mr. Baker’s talk, Miss Ber
tha Wright, of Ottawa, Can., was intro
duced and mode an interesting talk
about the work in which she was en
gaged.
The day was devoted to the hearing of
from members engaged in mis-
the fallen and des-
inere was a Dig weaning xeasr, ana cn«
happy Mexican drank too much wine.
He made a- speech in which he said lie
had killed his rival, and done so at the
suggestion of Lorinski.
He had no sooner spoken than the
bride seized a knife and attacked him.
Her father caught her arm and drew her
back. Then she cut her own throat
from ear to ear, dying in a few moments.
Larinski watched her die, then got a
shotgun and emptied both ban-els into
bridegroom, killing him instantly.
In the confusion Sorowski, the pool
suitor arrived. He explained that Romer
had given him $1,300 to go to Eddy, N.
M., to transact some business for him
with a man there. He searched all over
Eddy and finally found that no such man
existed. Lorinski, the father, is now a
maniac.
Peck Will Reprot When Wanted.
Albany, Nov. 14.—Ex- Labor Com
missioner Charles F. Peck, who is await
ing trial for an alleged crime, has re
turned from Boston. As soon as he pro
cured bail Peck left town, leaving word
with his counsel, Fred E. Wf.dhams,
that he would be back in time for hia
trial. Since his departure Mr. Wad
hams has been kept busy denying ru
mors that Peck had left the country.
Peck’s bondsmen have deposited $2,000
as a pledge that they will produce him
when he is wanted.
Cannot Be Extradited.
Washington, Nov. 14.—Adrian Van
Senderen, who was indicted in 1891 for
embezzlement, and who has been lo
cated in Germany, will probably remain
there. There is no clause in our extra
dition treaty with Germany, according
to Solicitor Dabney, of the state depart
ment, covering the specific crime with
which he is charged. Mr. Dabney says
this opinion is an off-hand one, aud does
not want to be placed in the attitude of
prejudging the case.
