VOL. VI. NO. 1.882. 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.

Atlanta, Nov. 14. —The house has passed a bill changing the statute relat ing to filing divorce suits. Under the old law it is necessary for any person bringing suit for divorce to have resided for six months in the county in which the suit is filed.

NEW YORK MARKETS. Demand for Bonds Ha-, Slackened Materi ally—Foreign Exchange Higher. New York, Nov. 14.—The demand for bonds for European account has slackened considerably, and several im portant loans, now being offered in the London market, have not met with the success the underwriters expected. Foreign exchange has shown an ad vancing tendency because cotton was lower on account of the increased esti mates of the yield in Texas and Geor gia, which indicates a crop of over 8,000,000 bales in the aggregate.

' » 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. Spain Orders a Cruiser to Cuba. 14.—1 n consequence of Span- 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.

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. Fire in Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne.
