that if the British men-of war,
well as our own, had been IV 11h-
i-.vii It might have been a good

a to the stability of government
the Islands. But it appears that at
moment when it was known that
vessel wa* to betaken away, the
:lsh orders were Changed, and H.
S. Champion, which has subsc-
»ntly been replaced by the Hyacinth,
ordered to remain at Honolulu. It
„>t necessary to Impute an Improper
live to Great Britain or her repre-
alive for this action, or even to
that It is the Intention of
Britain to seise Hawaii, but It
tut be forgotten that while our

WEATHER OFFICE NEGLIGENT.
Florida Men Say It Cost Them & Half
Million.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 4.—The fruit
growers of Florida ore loud In their com
plaint of the negligence of the weather
bureau in not giving them timely warn
ing of the freeze so disastrous to
the orange and fruit growing Industries
of this state. They estimate that they
could have saved a hulf million dollars
had the warning been given.
That the weather office was negligent
is proven by the warning sent out on De
cember 28. This warning arrived In Jack
sonville at 10 o’clock. It said that frost
was indicated for east Florida—the or
ange growing section—and a cold wave
for western Florida. Five hours before
the mercury had touched 2Y, and It was
then freezing. Orange trees can stand
frost, so the frost warning gave no alarm.
No Intimation was received whatever of
an unprecedented freeze.
BOUGHT GOLD BRICK8.
A Virginia Farmer Had 15,000 In Moss
Taken Off His Back.
Richmond. Va., Jen. 4.—A. W. Withers .
of Gloucester county wua swindled out i
of 15,000 In money here today by two '
men, claiming to be John Williams of Arl>
zona and Thomas H. Parker, an ;i>mv.r
of the United States mint at PhIH iel-
phia. The men worked a bunco game
i Withers to get Mm to Richmond,
and fhe cash was paid to Williams by
Withers upon a couplo of bricks of gold,
Which, after a test by a Jeweler, proved
to be brass.
Both the men escaped. A part of the
scheme was that Williams claimed to be
In Virginia looking for an toncle named
Alexander Withers, whloh appellation his
victim bears.
Washington, Jan. 4.^—^Speaker Crisp n
laid before the house the resignation of |
Representative Thlmas H. Paynter of i v
the Ninth district of Kentucky, to take
effect tomorrow. Mr. Paynter takes a
place on the bench of the Kentucky
oourt of appeals on Monday next.
The committees waving been called j
tfor reports, Mr. Springer moved that
the house proceed to the consldera- j
tlon of the currency bill In committee
of the whole. Agreed to, and Mr. Rich
ardson of Tennessee resumed the
chair.
The. debate on the currency bill,
which’followed, was in some respects |
the most notable and interesting that
has occurred. The speeches of Messrs. 1
Dlngley of Maine and Hepburn of
Iowa were signinoaut in emit enuy were j
taken to express the purpose of the
Republican majority in tho next con- j
gross to proceed at once upon its as- !
sembllmg to the preparation of a reve
nue measure which wtl, In their opln- j
Ion, provide enough -money to meet the
expenditures of the gvemnnent. Noth
ing short of that, according to their
statements, will be sufficient to remedy
or remove the evils from which the
treasury and tihe -whole country are
suffering. Mr. Hepburn would also go
fu. ther and proceed to legisCate for a
more general U3e and coinage of silver,
but Mr. Dingo was silent on that
point.
HENDRIX’S NOTABLE SPEECH.
Representative Hendrix of Nev/ York
abo made n notable sheech. He said
the MW would be a- failure as fnr as
purposes which It was sought to effect
were concerned. The new year opened,
be said, with a fear generally prevail
ing among fhe people of the counfv
that the government could not main-
tKhi on a parity with gold the volume
of the other currency circulating
among them. He was of the opinion
that it could do so, however, end the
best proof that it could was f<>und in
the fact tii.it ft had done .-■•>. But this
