THE SENATE.
Minister Thurston, of Hawaii, oc
enpied a front hi at in the diplomatic
gallery of the senate when the session
opened Monday. The galleries were
well filled in anticipation of a renewal
of the controversy over Hawaii, which
had begun Saturday. Mr. Frye, who
ing! precipitated th- conflict, was early
in his seat with a hunch of papers he
fore him. Senators gathered in groups
during tho routine proceedings and
di eui-M-d the action of the president
in sending a war ship to Hawaii and his
published iJiib nient. Mr. Lodge speed
ily brought forward the Hawaiian ques¬
tion by presenting the following reso¬
lution : “Resolved, That tho sen¬
ate cordially approves the despatch of
n ship of war to tho Sandwich Islands
on .Saturday last, and is of the opin¬
ion that an American man of war
should l.o kept at Honolulu. Resolv¬
ed, That prompt measures should bo
taken to promote the construction of
a submarine cable from San Francisco
to Honolulu and that no part f tho
rights and privilges secured to tho
United States and the Hawaiian gov¬
ernment should lie abandoned or waiv¬
ed in order to enable any other gov¬
ernment to secure a foothold or lease
upon any part of the Hawaiian islands,
Resolved, That in tho judgment, of tho
senate, immediate stops should bo
taken to secure possession of the Sand¬
wich islands by their annexation to tho
United States.” Mr. Lodge asked im¬
mediate consideration of the resolu¬
tion. “Let it go over,” interrupted
Mr. Blackburn. The presiding officer
construed this as an objection and un¬
der tho rules tho resolution went over
until Tuesday.
In the liottso Tuesday ou motion of
Mr. Henderson, February 16 was set
aside for paying proper tribute to tho
late Senator Vance of North Carolina,
A lull was passed to amend the articles
of the navy relative to punishment ou
conviction by court martial; also on
motion of Mr. Reed, republican, of
Maine, to grant an American register
to the Barkoutine, James H. Hamlin.
The credentials of Mr. MoMillin, of
Michigan, for the tern beginning
^arch ockbridge, 4th next', was presented of tho Inf to A'Wmuoi" the sen¬
ate Wednesday. Mr. Fulmer’s resolu¬
tion in reference to bounty payments
to Missouri militia was passed. Sena¬
tor Jones’ financial currency bill was
introduced. Senator Smith, of New
Jersey, also showed up with a currency
fcheiuo. Ho had a bill read which at¬
tracted much attention. It provides
for a non-partisan currency commis¬
sion of twelve members to make inves¬
tigations of fiscal questions and for an
issue of bonds to produce revenue for
the government. A new and practical
turn to the Hawaiian subject was given
by Mr. Hale, (republican, of Maine),
" ho introduced an amendment to tho.
diplomatic and consular bill, provid¬
ing $500,000 for the survey of a cable
route connecting the Hawaiian islands
and the United States.
There was such a meagre attendance
at the opening of the senate Thursday
that Mr. Hear culled attention to the
absence of a quorum, and a roll call
WllS necessary before business could
proceed. Among the bills introduced
"as one by Mr. Candler, to prevent
the tapping of telegraph wires used by
news associations. This is to prevent
the stealing of news.

Paris regulations had been a flat fail¬
ure. Although the government’s les
( h were allowed to take 25,000 males
from the islands, they had not been
able to find 10,000, while the Canadian
pelagic sealers had taken 00,000, most¬
ly females. In view of these facts,
said Mr. Dingley, Secretary Carlisle
concluded that within throe years, five
at the most, if the destruction went
on, the Alaskan seal herd would be
exterminated. The treasury would
lose a vast sum of money and the
world would be deprived of an article
of luxury and comfort,
In the house Thursday, on motion
of Mr. .Shell, democrat, of South Car
olina, a resolution was passed provid¬
ing for an investigation by the corn
mittees on public buildings and
grounds, of the office of the architect
of tho capitol. The house then, on
motion of Mr. Sayres, weut iuto a
committee of the whole and resumed

appropriation bill. The paragraph iu
tho bill, appropriating $25,000 for
general repairs in the customhouse at

He was also almost the pioneer free
trader in this country, having as early
ns 1830, advocated “free trade and di
rect taxation.” At one time he''/.as

Ono of the largest of the eastern
cotton mills will establish a $600,000
plant at Rome. This is practically a
certainty, though the details have not
been arranged. The agent of the mill,
who has been in the city investigating
for several weeks, will not allow it to
be announced by his authority. He
has secured several hundred acres of
land near the city, and the object is to
build a complete town, the mill to have
its own churches and schools. The
agent has visited eleven counties in
Georgia. He finally decided to recom
mend one of three counties, of which
Floyd was one. Then, after further
investigation, Rome was recommended
on account of its nearness to the coal
fields, its climate and the great amount
of cottoa marketed.

The bill is voluminous, comprising
some forty pages of foolscap. .It con¬
tains numerous other provisions of in¬
terest. The committee has labored
faithfully upon its preparation for ten
days and it is believed to he almost
perfect as far as the needs of the state
are concerned. A conservative esti¬
mate is that it will increase the state’s
revenue about $200,000 and will fill up
the hole in the treasury in three or f out
years.
GROM’S SERIOUS.
The Street Car Strike at Brooklyn,
N. Y., Causing Trouble.
The situation at Brooklyn, N. Y.,
according to latest reports is growing
serious. The troops have been fired
upon, attacked with stones, brickbats
aad other missiles under cover of dark
ness and fog, yet they have heroically
faced the riotous mobsand the wonder
is that they withheld their fire a dozen
times under serious provocation. They
have discharged volleys over the heads
of crowds; they have jabbed the street
gangs with bayonets; they have done
everything but- shoot people down.
The point hss now been reached
when forbearance ceases to be a virtue.
The troops have been ordered to fire
upon any person seen throwing a mis
eile or shooting at them. vSharp?hoot

CARS MUST RUN.
SO JUDGE GAYXOR NOTIFIES
THE COMPANIES.
The Grtat Strike in Brooklyn Draw¬
ing to a Close.
A Brooklyn, N. Y., special says:
Justice Gaynor, of the supreme court,
handed down his decision on the ap¬
plication of Joseph Loader for a man¬
damus to compel the Brooklyn Heights
railroad to operate its cars in sufficient
numbers to accommodate the travel¬
ing public on the Fulton street, Put¬
nam avenue, Green and Gates, and
the Tompkins avenue lines.
He signifies his intention of grant¬
ing a mandamus, the form to be de¬
termined on the argument of counsel.
Justice Gaynor’s decision in part is as
follows:
“It is my duty to declare the law* of
this case. This railroad corporation
is not in the position of a mere private
individual or company carrying on
business for private gain, which may
suspend business temporarily or per¬
manently at pleasure. On the contra¬
ry, it has a dual relation, a public re¬
lation to the people of the state and a
private vote of its stockholders.”
“It must not be forgotten here,
though it may seem to be growing not
wholly forgotten elsewhere, that in its
chief aspect it is a public corporation
having duties to perform to the public
which transcend any obligation which,
in its private aspect, it owes its stock¬
holders.
“It has received franchises of great
value from the state and had conferred
upon it tho state’s transcendant pow*er
of eminent domain. In return it took
upon itself the performances of public
duties and functions, in the perform¬
ance of which it is in law and in fact
not an independent individual or en¬
tirety, but the accounted agent of the
state.
“Though these principles are old
andAnherent 'ia-4h&idea -of the sov¬
ereignty of people, it would seem that
in the recent rapid growth of corpor
Afepower and of the tendency to use
the aggrandize

fore the court is to carry passengers
through certain streets of Brooklyn,
and to furnish, man and run cars
enough to fully accommodate the pub¬
lic. It may not lawfully cease to per¬
form that duty for even one hour. The
directors of a private business eom
pany may, as dictated by private
greed or motives of private gain, stop
business and refuse to employ labor at
all unless labor come down to their
conditions, however distressing, for
such are the existing legal industrial
and social conditions.”
NELSON A SENATOR.
Itlinnesota’s Governor Honored by tlio
Legislature.
The two houses of the Minnesota
legislature, in joint session Wednesday
voted for a successor to Senator W. D.
Washburn. The developments of the
night previous showed that Mr. Wash¬
burn’s re-election was impossible and
his forces tried to throw his strength
to ex-Congressman John Lind.
When the two houses had assembled
and were organized, the roll call was
hod and Governor Knute Neleon was
shown to have been elected. Before
the announcement of the vote there
were several changes made by the
members and the announcement of the
result was:
Nelson, 102; Washburn, 3; S. G.
Comstock, 9; J. T. McCleary, 2 ; Ig
natius Donnelly, populist, 13; John
Lind, 1; William Mitchell, democrat,
4. Speaker Van Zant thereupon do
dared that Knute Nelson, having re
Ceiveu a majority of tlio vote, was
elected senator for the six years after
March 4th next.
The governor was brought before
the legislature and returned his thanks
for the great honor conferred in a
brief speech, and the joint session ad¬
journed.
BOUDEN LOSES HIS JOB.
Spain Relieves Him of His Commii
sion as Vice-Consul.
A cable message from Madrid, Spain,
to the Spanish minister at Washing
ton, directed him, by order of the
cortez, to dispatch to Fernandina two
trusted officials in the consular service
to investigate the alleged filibnstering
expedition recently uncovered at that
P ort and especially the connection
it N, B. Borden, the Span
ish vice consul. Under these instruc
tions the Spanish minister appointed
^ or this mission, Senor Petiento, con-
6U i general of the Spanish government
at Savannah, Ga., and Senor Rosenda
Torras, Spanish vice consul at Bruns¬
wick, Ga. The two officials arrived at
Fernandina Tuesday and their first act
was to relieve Mr. Borden of his com
mission as vice consul for Spain and
Fernandina. Bordon submitted grace¬
fully and appeared to be very little
concerned about the matter.

LESSENS PAIN—INSURES SAFETY
to LIFE of MOTHER and CHILD.
My wife, after having used Mother’s
Friend, passed through the ordeal with
little pain, was stronger in one hour
than in a week after the birth of her
former child. J. J. McGoldbick,
Beans Sta., Tenn.
Mother’s Friend robbed pain of its terror
and shortened labor. 1 have the healthiest
child I ever saw.

over fifteen years, and during‘that tim*
tried everything I could hear of, and spent
over three hundred dollars in doctor’s bills
without receiving the slightest benefit.
Indeed 1 continued to grow worse. Final¬
ly, after I despaired of obtaining relief, a
friend recommended B. B. B (Botanic
Blood Balm), and I began using it; not
however expecting tobebenetltted. After
using half a bottle I was satisfied I wau
being bunefitted, and when .tho sixth bottle
was taken I felt like a new man, I would
not take a thousand dollars for the good it,
has done me; in tact the relief I derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I
would have died bad I not taken it.
