•Washington, Jam. 20.—TOve Hawaiian
debate titiat sprang up in tihe aenate
Saturday and was cut short by the
ceremonies that had been arranged in
memory of the kite Sema.tor Vance is
likely to (bo resumed tomorrow with
Increased vehemence, The fact that a
wiarohln has been sent to Hawaii will
noit cause the Reuubucans to recall the
AtorWh resolution declaring In favor
of that course. Ropubtloan senators
will try to show that tWs step was
nod taken until it appeared to" the
autarkies here that euch a vessel won
not wanted. But at that time Senator
Bodge turd others will likely contend
J Jihat this Impression was based upon
a mlsconceiDtlon on the part of our mln-
..lister of 'She 'purport erf the statement
made to him by President Dole of the
i Hawaiian remrblic. It Is likely tliolt the
discussion over the Hawaiian matter
may consume the morning hour for
several days.
The debate yesterday was preclpl-_
tated by a piece of pairiiatmentry strat-’
egy and can be maintained In the same
way. : Mr. Lodge sought to call up the
J ACdrkh resolution, but was blocked by
Jv Mr. Oookhftll. who presented a privi
leged matter In the shape of the con
ference rsport on the ungenlt deficiency
bill, that ibefrwr one of (he qucutlons
which always has the right of way.
Mr. Cockrell’s motion was debated for
a ifew moments, but meanwhile Mr.
Lodge was laying his plans, which
subsea uentlv proved sucoesofuf. Mr.
Chandler came to his aid, and In the
, ’yildat Of Mr. Cockrell's cross-fire with
other senators concerning the points of
dlileremce. moved to postpone action
on the conference report. This Ques
tion was debatalbie and in rthnt manner
Lodge evened up things with Mr. Cock
rell and compelled him to give way.
The chairman of the appropriations
committee hopes to get bis conference
report on the urgency deficiency Ml!,
wdlh Its Income tax provKslau, out of
the way tomorrow, and will then call
tip and seek to get a vote this week on
a (bill making appnoprlaJtlono for consu
lar and diplomatic service end for for
tifications and other defenses. The
first named bill will probably he re
ported to th!e senate tomorrow. It. In
llkcOv an effort will be made this week
to get action on the bill reported by
Mr. Butler on the 10th of this month.
pravhShSff for the rcorBanisaflon and
Increase in the efficiency of the per
sonnel of the navy and marine corps.
Ofiloens of the line, who are especially
benefited by this measure, have Ibeen
deluging senators with telegrams
urging them to call Uhls bit! up and
give it their support. The Mil Is the
outgrowth of much study on the part
of the lolnt commission that prepared
It. and It Is believed that the reforms
suggested win meet tbe Indorsement of
congress. If aatlon 1s to be had at this
session the initial steps must be soon
i taken.
CHICAGO WiAJNTS SOMETHING:
Ohioago 'will come to the front In the
, house of reonesemtaitlves tomorrow
with the bill authorizing the construc
tion of a nublio building in that city
'.o oast 11,000.000. This bill, in coimvc-
kion with five other public building
Dills costing less, in Pennsylvania. New

doubt) wIS knock out'‘suspension day.”
Iwhiab was probably the Intention of
fits promoters. Under the standing rules
i of the house, tomorrow should he de-
I voted to the calling uid of hills under
i suspension of the rules—a dangerous.

1 era usually try to shut off in some tndl-
rect manner. The remainder of the
syeek. aside from the one hour given
every day to reports from committees,-
will be devoted to the appropriation

TO PROTECT AMERICANS.
Washington, Jan. 20.—President
Cleveland made the following statement
this evening with respect to the Ha
waiian question, which he eeemed en
tirely frilling to discuss:
’’No Information has been received
which Indicates that anything will hap
pen In Hafoall making the presence of
one of our naval vessels necessary, un-
lers we are prepared to enter upon a
policy and ocuroe of conduct violative
of every rule of International law and
utterly unjustifiable.
, ’'All who take «ny Interest In the
question should keep In view the fact
.-hat Hawaii la independent of us, and
that In Its relations to us Is a foreign
country. A ship has been sent because
of trouble there, and not because there
seems to be any Imminent necessity for
Its presence there. It has been sent In
precise accordance with the policy of
the administration in every case of the
kind, and from motives of extreme cau
tion, and because there Is a possibility
*£at dlstunbanoea may be renewed
wnlch might result In danger to the
persons or property of (American cnl-
■ zens entitled to the protection of the
United States. This course was ot once
deiermined upon as soon as Informa
tion reached the government of the re
cent revolt.
’’So far from having the slightest ob
jection to making public the instruc
tions which were given to the com
mander of tbe Philadelphia and the dis
patch he will carry to Mr. Willis, "ur
minister in 'Hawaii. I am glad to out
them before my fellow citizens. Here
they are:

in, but keep steadily in view your duty
to protect tbe Uvea and property of all
such citizens of the United Stater as
Shall not hy their participation in such

A POLICEMAN IS SLAPPED OVER
Mayor Schleren Find* Ills Hands Full
In Attempting to Reconcile DlflVr-
iuce> Met ween Striker* and
Street Car Companies
Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 20.—There was
no change in tho strike situation here
today. Up to tnoon the companies had
made no effort to start cars on any
of tho lines which wore expected to
be openW'today. and but few on those
they have In operation. Large crowds
gathered In the vicinity of tho various
depots, but most of the persons com
posing tfhom were alght-aeers and they
gave the police and mliUtia but UttCe
trouble. (MayorBchlerhn took hold of
the eti-ike with now determination to
day. PubUct Indignation at repeated
disturbances in gpSte of ponce and'tnlll-
tkr, and public discomfort duo to tho
failure of the companies to restore tlie
operation of their roads even with
(ho odd of poStce and troops, stirred
him to Action. He sent for the strike
leaders and also for -the railroad presi
dents and hold protracted conferences.
Nothing iwos accomplished Unit (brings
the strike any nearer settlement. Tho
mayor sent' out 'the following official
statement covering tho -matter at I
p. m.:
"An effort wan made today to ascer
tain if an adjustment could bo affeeted
In the interest of public convenience
and safety Gy which all surface rail
roads oould (be ’■('Stored to immediate
operation. To this end the mayor had
conferences 'With Messrs. Connelly,
Best and GtbCln,representing the former
employes of -Hie railroads, and Cater
with various representatives of the
companies, Including Messrs. Lewis.
Norton and Wickers. Tho effort was
without result. Corporaltlon Counsel
McDonald and Commissioner Whlta
were present at the conferences.’'
(Mr. Connolly later gave out (the prop
osition thud (bhie men mode to the
mayor. It was that the companies re
store (to their pay rolls all men who
■were In their oprptoy January 12 and
tho mayor to appoint n committee to
whom both sides oould submit (heir
case, and the committed to decide who
Is to remain In the employ of tho roads
and ait wheut terms. The men made no
condition requiring tho discharge ot tho
men employed to fill their places. This
proposition was rejected (by the presi
dents of the companies.
The mayor, after tho failure of his
arbitration, decided that the situation
was (becoming grave. -Ho Immediately
held a. consultation with Brig. Geh.
MoLeer, and at 5 p. m. gave out tho
following addition to his former atone
ment:
“Under tho circumstances It has be
come necessary ho seouro additional
protection in order to operate more
surface lines. The mayor bus dace
conferred with Gon. MoLeer and has
made a request on ttho governor for
additional troops. Thleso -will douhtlezn
behn duty promptly. It is a time when
tho gathering of people on the streets
Is to be avoled. and the -police have
been ordered and thie mKItlb requested
to prevent any crowds from -gathering
and to keep toltroeirs off the streets."

Jowing -procCnmatlon:

Schorlemor-Alst, -who has dropped al
most out of sight since he advocated
(he army bill and was unloaded by the
democratic majority of his party. Many
Catholic cCergytmcni were also present.
Tho cabinet complete, most of the fed
eral councillors, tho great men of the
army and navy and many ambassadors
caimo early and stayed to tho end.
Among the high court officiate wero the
Princes of Hchenlohe-Ochrlngcn. Hatz-
feldt, ltatlbor, Fuerstenberg and Stol-
bcrg-Wernlgerode. Some, forty Berlin
editors and foreign correspondents re
sponded to tho new chancollor'a Invi
tations. Despite tho throng, tho ar
rangements proved perfect. Supper was
served at small tables In the Inrgu con
gress hail. Thoao whose chuntccs at the
tablo were small found a fino buffet at
their service. The host moved about In
cessantly, exchanging greetings, join
ing In eonverirnttlon und drawing to
gether congenial groups. Ills open and
affable -manners won for him a. gen
uine social trlum-ph which sutloubtod-
iy will prove votuamv to'fffm In his
political work. It was midnight before
tho company*-began to disperse.
Freiherr von Marachall Bleberatelfi’s
dinner on Thursday was more purely
official. Llko M10 chancellor's. It was
remarkable for tho number of clericals
present, among them wero Dm. Libor,
Hachem and Llngens and Count Hoin-
peseh. It was will more remarkable for
the appearance of the minister’s bitter
est political enemies, such as Count
Mlfbuch, Herr von Kmdorff and Pref.
Iiropatuehek of tho extreme Agrarian
group. The startling march of events
In France and tho rumors of Impend
ing changes In tho highest official cir
cles were the chief topic in the recep
tion room. iA>t the Chapter ot tile Black
ICnglo, tho old castle, on Thursday nt-
ternoon tho emperor had ordered Gen.
Count WaWeroce to wear tho gold chain
which once hung on Field Marshal
Moltke’s (breast. Tho marshall’s guests
agreed that this Indicated tho empe
ror’s Intention to distinguish Wnldersco
as Moltke’s successor In tile army.
Emperor William's visit to the
French ambassador, Hcrbette, imme
diately after Caslmlr-l'er crs resigna
tion has been variously Interpreted, (but
most persons agreo that It was on un-
"one'critllclSm Is tho* It may b« inter-
nretol as evincing a wlmi to lmerrero
In France's domestic affairs. Count
MirensU'r Is buck from the Paris em
bassy on a leave of absence ant! has
t-a'Vked freely at the political dinners
as to the emperor’s purpoeo in las
Interview with Hcrbette. Ho conveyed
tbe Impression that the emp-ror is de-
t'lrnus merely of acquainting himself
with M. Fount's personality and too
probable character of the uew French
mlntotry. (Rite emperor has been much
gratified hy Count Muenster's oplnlou
that (M. Fauto Is a nrim, of parts and
firm character, capable o< preserving
peace hath ait .home nnd abroad. The
change In the French presidency has
certainly bad some effect upon ofllclsl
plans, for Count Mueuster has taken
pains to rdltcrats the statement (bit
he nover desired to leave his post in
Paris. He had Intended to return to
Paris next week, bo said, to keep »n
engagement to hunt with Oaslmlr-re-
rier. He tod deferred Ms departure,
however, to avoid dho eomhlanco of
Germany’s recking to interfere In
French politics. Ho would return soon
after the formation of the now 0.1/blnct.
Whether the emperor foars to try a
new man on sueli dntloato ground or
Is disquieted by German prcteols
against further officii! upsets I« not
known, but apparently he has decided
not to shake up his diptemntle corps
Just now, tor on Fridfly the Relchsan-
zelgor denied (that soy of tho ruomred
changes would be made In toe German
cnfbirule*. count HnlzMilt. ambassa

on Thursday c^jtensJbly to attend the
emperor's birthday fertlvnf'. The ap
pointment' of Herbert Bismarck to a
cabinet place or an embassy Is held In
suflpense.
Tbe result Of Prince IMienloho’s' In
terview with Prince Bismarck has not
been rovoafed, although some Oide-Hstht
Isas been shed on U. Hie Kreuz Zcl-
tung says It Is authorized to state that
the conversation between tho rid and
new vlr.UK'Hor during toclr slriglt ride
to tho Saxon forest brought about a
complete harmony of opinions. The
Tjgvbfabt mentions that another Bis

Information obtained from various
trustworthy sources shows that Prince
