of the foreitm affairs committee, asked
■whether it would be in order for the mi
nority of the committee to offer a substi
tute to the resolution of the ma ority
before a vote was taken on the latter.
The speaker said it would be in order.
THB COMMITTEE RESOLUTION.
The resolution reported from the com
mittee on foreign affairs read as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
House that the action of the United States
minister in employing United States naval
forces and illegally aiding in overthrowing
the constitutional government of the Ha
walian Islands in January 1891. and in set
ting up In its place a provisional government,
not repufill an in form, and in opposition to
the will of a ma ority of the peop e was con
trary to the tradi'.ionsof our repj lie and the
■pint of our constitution, and should be and
is condemned
2. That we heartily approve of the princi-
Sle announ. e.i t>y the President of the United
tates: that interference with the domestic
affairs of an n.dependent nation is contrary
to the spirit of American institutions And it
Is further the sense of this House that the an
nexation of the Hawaiian Islands to our
country, or the assumption of a protectorate
over them by our government, is uncalled for
and inexpedient that the people of that
country should have absolute freedom and in
dependence in pursuing their own line of poli
cy and that foreign intervention in the politi
cal affairs of the islands will not be regarded
with indifference by the goverment of the
United States.
hitt’s substitute
Mr. Hitt offered the following substi
tute for the above resolution:
Resolved. That it is the sense of this House
that the demand caused by the President of
the United states, by his imperative lnstruc
t o i to be made on Dec. is last, upon the
President and officers of the Hawaiian gov
ernment, that It promp ly rellr qulsh all au
thority and his proposed erection of a mon
archy in its stead, was an unwarranted inter
vention In the affairs of a friendly and recog
glzed government, contrary to the law o.' na
tions the policy and traditions of this repub
lic and the spirit of the constitution.
Resolved, That the provisional government
Of Hawaii having been duly recogntzed. the
highest international interest requires that it
■hall pursue its own line of policy and for
eign intervention in the political affairs of
these islands will be regarded as an act un
friendly to the government of the United
States.
HARRISON CENSURED.
Mr. McCreary, in the course of his
gpeech censured President Harrison for
his indecent haste in drawing up a treaty
•f annexation with Hawaii and in submit
ting it to the Senate before the people of
Hawaii had been heard. He severely
criticised the American representative in
Honolulu and the United States naval
eommander for their action at the time
Of the so-called revolution, which, he
said, was without parallel in diplomatic
history. He criticised the foreign policy
of the Harrison administration
in three cases—the case of
Samoa; the case of Chile and the case
of Hawaii. And he asked whether any
one would claim that with all the proof
that had been laid before President Har
rison and his Secretary of State it was an
exhibition of wisdom on the part of Presi
dent Harrison to send to the Senate a
treaty of annexation asking congress to
give way *6.250,000 in order to get these
little islands, and as King congress to re
cognize what was done by a few American
citizens down there. He (Mr. McCreary)
asserted that was not to the credit of the
last administration.
HIGH PRAISE FOR BLOUNT.
In the further course of his argument
Mr. McCreary said that he would now
call as a witness James H. Blount, a man
conspicuous for bis ability and his integ
rity. a man who ranked among the best
and ablest men who bad served in the
American congress for the last twenty
years. [Applause.] He then read ex
tracts from Mr. Blount’s report, and from
the correspondence of Mr. Nordhoff, in the
New York Herald, whom he spoke
of as a distinguished gentleman known to
many members. At the bottom of the
whole movement, Mr. McCreary said, had
been the representatives of the sugar
planters, the sugar planters themselvea,
and the missionaries, or their representa
tives. The latter were to have the offices
if the regular government could be set
aside, and the sugar planters, who had
made *61,000,000 under the reciprocity
treaty, were to be enriched by getting the
sugar bounty of 2 cents a pound. But he
thanked God that the House had yester
day passed a tariff bill in which there
would be no more sugar bounty; and he
had no doubt that the sugar planters
were to-da.v less anxious for annexation
than they had been. [Applause], Hede
clared himself opposed to the annexation
of Hawaii, both on policy and on princi
ple. He hoped that his own side of thd*
House would sustain the resolution which
had been unanimously reported by the
democratic members of the committee on
foreign affairs. He hoped that they
would adhere to the traditions of the
past and stand up for justice to all na
tions, and for entangling alliances with
none. [Applause],
HITT SPEAKS FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
Mr. Hitt, rep., of Illinois, the ranking
republican member of the committee on
foreign affairs, followed in opposition to
the report of the majority of the com
mittee. The minority, he said, had not
been able to agree to the resolution of the
majority for the reason that it ignored
many things which needed investigation.
The finding of the Senate committee
which had been investigating the whole
matter, and which would be published in
a few days, would be far different from
the statements which are now so posi
tively asserted. The examination 'on
which these statements were based
was conducted on the line pursued
by a criminal lawyer, and the
statements were purely ex-parte. If
there was any man unfit to be quoted.it
was the man who had made that so-called
investigation. That was the last source
to which we should go for instructions
touching the matter of interference. [Ap
plausej. The previous speaker had railed
against annexation, but how did we know
what would be the opinion in the white
house next weeki [Laughter and
applause]. There had been no statement
by Mr. Cleveland touching annexation.
There would be no interference on the
part of foreign nations, for America had
given notice that anv interference with
the Hawaiian islands would be regarded
as an act unfriendly to the United States.
He praised the administration of Presi
dent Dole, and its stability, and said that
in spite of the efforts of a powerful gov
erment to foment discord, that ..Ule gov
ernment had held its own and had main
tained its place in the family of nations.
[Applause.]
THE ATTEMPT TO RESTORE THE QUEEN.
He ridiculed the president’s attempt to
restore the queen, and said that every one
who had ever read a page of history
knew how futile it was to try to restore a
discorded, discredited and worn out gov
ernment. He replied to the assertion that
the lending of marines from the Boston
was an act of war by stating that the
orders (copies of which he had before
him) specified that they were to be used
solely for the protection of life and prop
erty. Was it not many times more an act
of war to send a minister there with
orders to overthrow the existing govern
ment and to establish a monarchy)
He closed by paying a high tribute to
the courage and perseverance of the
Americans in Hawaii, whose great sin
was their blind love for America and for
free institutions. “Aud when the men of
these islands found that the policy of re
storation was to be carried out they barri
caded their houses and armed their citi
zens. preparing Lo resist to the death an
Invasion of their freedom and their
jights.” [Loud applause and cheers on
the republican side].
Mr Hitt was given leave to conclude
bis remarks to-morrow.
MOKE CORRESPONDENCE SENT IN.
Just before the debate on the Hawaiian
resolution ocean a message was received
from tno President, transmitting a letter
from the .Secretary of ,Sta -e accompanying
•erne communications from Minister VVil
lis. at Hawaii. The letter of transmittal
and accomDanying correspondence was
read, when Mr. Bouteile inquired
whether there was not a letter from Pres
ident Dole, because he had heal’d that
such a letter had been received in the
city. The speaker was non-committal,
and simply said that the clerk had read
all that were sent.
Mr. Morse, rep., of Massachusetts, of
fered a resolution extending to Mr. Rich
ardson, dem., of Tennessee, the thanks of
the House for the efficient and impartial
manner in which he had presided over
the committee of the whole during the
discussion on the tariff bill. The resolu
tion was unanimously agreed to amid the
applause of both sides of the House.
Tue House at 5 o'clock adjourned until
to-morrow at noon.

TRADE STILLONTHE FENCE
All Sow Waiting For the End ot the
Tariff Bill.
Uncertainty About Financial Legis
lation Also Having an Effect—The
Industrial Plants Resuming Opera
tions—lmprovement in Iron and
Steel Industries—The Reports From
the South.
New York, Feb. 2.—Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say: “The success of the
government bonds issue is regarded with
qualified satisfaction, but the effect on
either speculation or investment is merely
sentimental. The market is still waiting
for an end of uncertainty about financial
and tariff legislation, though values are
apparently sustained by the feeling that
depression has run its course, and that
improvement in business and railroad af
fairs will soon develop.
“The absence of serious manipulative
bear attacks on prices is no less marked
than the suspension of public or European
purchases of securities.
“In industrial lines, the number of es
tablishments opening is more than ten to
one of the number reported shutting down.
In fact, there is reason to believe that
hundreds of industrial establishments
have begun work within a week or two,
although not all on full time in all cases,
of which no specific mention has been
made in print.
IRON AND STEEL.
“I-ast week's improvement In Iron and
steel is continued, the stocks of raw and
finished material in consumers’ hands be
ing estimated at 1,000,000 tons smaller
than a year ago.
“The cut in prices of pig iron at Pitts
burg has resulted in orders for future de
livery, and even at Philadelphia improv
ing demand is regarded as evidence of
permanent gain.
“The shipments of shoes from New
England have increased 7 or 8 per cent,
within the week, and the extension of
time for the tariff to take effect, on wool,
and woolens has resulted in Boston's
sales jumping from 2,0(10,000 pounds last
week to 4,000,000 pounds this week, while
at Philadelphia trade has been stimu
lated also.
“The orders for brown cottons are
more active, and some mil.s making ex
port cottons are sold ahead. Prints,
finghams and other wash fabrics are job
ing well, but woolen goods mills report
orders unsatisfactory, and there is a ten
dency to curtail the output of fine cottons.
THE OUTLOOK AT BALTIMORE.
“Baltimore reports favorable prospects
for dry goods, but one-third smaller
volume of clothing sales in January, the
orders received being mostly from the
south, the west being far behind January
of last year.
“Business is quiet at Charleston, ex
cept that shipments of fertilizers are
heavy.”
“Country merchants are buying conser
vatively of Nashville jobbers, who are
not trying to push sales, and a similar re
port is received from Memphis.
“Atlanta jobbers are shipping with
some freedom, ana industrial establish
ments there are more active.”
Cotton factors at Savannah are holding
for higher prices, and quotations for tur
pentine are advancing.
“Collections are better at Mobile, but
at Birmingham trade is without feature.
The approach of the annual festival at
New Orleans has stimulated business and
exports of bulk corn are large.
“At Galveston the wholesale movement
of dry goods and shoes is conspicuous.”
DUN’S REVIEW.
R. G. Dun & Cos. ’s weekly review of
trade to-morrow will say: “A fresh im
pulse has been given to business this
week by the success of the treasury in
obtaining gold for reserve, thus strength
ening confidence in its ability to
maintain gold payments. The revenue
had fallen off so much and the prospects
for the loan looked so unfavorable until
financial institutions here decided to
carry it through, that some anxiety about
the monetary future was natural. In
vestments in tie ordinary sense have
been affected very little, and while more
demand for time loans has appeared, the
money market cannot be expected to
change much with *243,000.000 cash in the
banks and more coming from the inte
rior, while the treasury also is compelled
to pay out more than it now receives in
taxes.
"Gradual improvement in business ex
plains the appearance of more commer
cial paper in the market this
week than has been seen for
a long time, though as yet, the
vast accummulation of idle funds is proof
enough that trade has by no means re
gained normal proportions.
“Industrial recovery continues, though
it is but gradual, in response to the de
mand of a people whose consumption at
its lowest is greater than that of any
other country, and more mills are now at
work.
COTTON GOODS IN BETTER DEMAND.
“The market for cotton goods has a
better tone, and more staples have been
taken, particularly print cloths, with a
slight advance in prices, but all qualities
are extremely low and scarcely any in
crease in the working force is seen.
“Some demoralization is again reported
in the prices of woolens. Spring goods
are offered at a heavy sacrifice, but
there is more business in dress goods, and
tapestry carpets are in better demand,
while some linesof Brussels have been re
duced in price.
“Sales of wool are still small for the
week. 4,505,700 pounds, against 8,178,000
last year.
“Eastern trade in boots and shoes still
hesitates, with Boston shipments 28 per
cent, below last year's, but western fac
tories are reported a little better em
ployed, about 15 per cent, below their full
capacity.
THE IRON MARKET.
“A large demand for structural iron
and steel, for railway materials, except
rails, for barbed wire, and especially for
wire nails and wire rods, gives a better
look to the iron industry both east
and west. Chicago notes a distinct im
provement. At Pittsburg business is
larger, though prices do not gain, and
■even at Philadelnfiia trade is better, both
for pig and finished products, while en
couragement is found in the fact that
prices do not further decline. Only four
of the eleven stacks of the Thomas Iron
Company are in operation, aud of the
Connellsville coke ovens 8,410, against
9,i06, are idle, offers having been made
as low as 85 cents, facts which indicate
that the impro\ ement is not great as yet,
but there are reported heavy sales of bil
lets. and wire rods at slightly better
prices. Two events of some note are a
sale of Bessemer pig at Cleveland at *lO,
and the capture of an order forsixty miles
of wrought iron pipe for a Canada com
pany by the American Tube works.
••The domestic exports for four weeks
have been 14 per cent, lower than a vear
ago. while the imports have been 37' per
cent, smaller.
“The commercial failures for the week
number 366 in the United States, against
255 last year, and 52 in Canada, against
46 last year, the list including two of over
*250,000 each.”

SAM HALL’S DEBTS.
Ha Answers the Filing of a Mortgage
by Paying the Claim.
Atlanta. Ga., Feb. B.—Samuel Morgan
Hall and bis nick-tailed horses, his hunt
ing cart and other requisites of a society
man, have been dragged into court by au
unsympathetic banking company, which
is not expected to possess the finer feel
ings that fill the neart of the society
man.
Mr. Hall will be remembered as the At
lanta society man who recently aspired to
Ward McAllister s place in New York,
and of whom Mr. McAllister said that
he’d probably get along well enough in
Gotham on *40,000 a year.
The Georgia Ix>an and Savings’ Bank
Company has filed a mortgage for record
in the office of the clerk of the superior
court. Mr. Hall is financially embar
rassed , it seems, for the court paper shows
that on Dec. 29 he borrowed from the
Georgia Loan and Savings’ Bank Com
pany the sum of *6OO, giving his note for
thirty days. To secure the bank he
gave a mortgage, which enumerates the
following property: “One pair of horses,
as follows: One black horse about three
years old. nick-tailed; one bay mare
about four years old, nick-tailed; one
hunting cart, painted yellow and black,
(with hood); one double set of brass
mounted harness and one brougham
painted black.
“All of the above property kept by me
in thelivery stable of Milam & Patterson,
on Llo.v'd street, in the city of Atlanta.
“One upright Chickering piano, now in
room 511, Kimball house, in the city of
Atlanta, Ga.”
Mr. Hall to-night said that the filing of
the mortgage was the work of an enemy—
another young man who had quarrelled
with him on account of some of his bric-a
brac at his recent auction sale. The
mortgage was put on record for spite, he
said.
This afternoon he called at the bank’s
oftfie, and indignantly denounced the pro
ceedings. at the same time handing over
a *6OO check ami getting his note back.
Mr Hall has determined to go to New
York, despite all the ridicule that has
been heaped upon him by the metropoli
ton people. He lost money in his recent
resturant venture, which is the cause of
his shortness of funds.
