But it appears that at moment when it was known that vessel wa* to betaken away, the :lsh orders were Changed, and H. S.

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 lent .instens to reosCI n man St. Stevens, who Is In earnest in I vwwtlon of American Interests, «!

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.

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.

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.
