ceremonies that had boon arranged In
memory of the kite Senator V<mc« is
likely tx3 lx* resumed tomorrow with
increased veh««nence. The fact that a
warflhio lias been sent to Hawaii will
not cauee the Republicans to recall the
Aldridh resolution declaring in fa*vor
of that course. Republican senators
will try to show that this step was
not taken until it appeared to the
authorities here that such a vessel wns
not wanted. Rut at tinut time Senator
Lodge sind others will likely contend
that this impression was based upon
a misconception on the pari of our min
ister of the purport of the statement
made to him by President Dole of the
Hawaiian republic. It is likely tbalt the
discussion over the Hawaiian matter
may consume the morning hour for
several days.
The debate yesterday was precipi
tated by a piece of pa.Kia>mentry strat
egy and can be maintained in the same
way. Mr. Lodge Hougiht to call up the
'A/wlrlnh resolution, but was blocked by
Mr. Oookrell. who presented a privi
leged matter in the shupe of the con
ference report on th*> urgent deficiency
bill, tbait ibcrimr one of the questions
which alwhvs has the right of way.
Mr. Cockrell’s morion was debited for
a few moments, but meanwhl’je Mr.
Lodge was laying his plans, which
subsequently proved »uccei»fi/.. Mr.
Ohandler cumo to his aid, and in the
midst of Mr. Cockrell’s cross-fire with
other senators concvrnlng the points <vf
difference, moved to postpone action
on the conference report. This ques
tion was debatniMe and in tbit manner
L>dco 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 bdil,

TO PROTECT AMERICANS.
Washington. Jan. 29.—President
Cleveland made the following statement
this evening with respect to the Ha
waiian question, which he eeemed en
tlrely willing to discuss:
"No Information has been received
which indicate* that anything will hap
pen in Hawaii making the presence of
one of oer naval vessela necerenry. un-
Icsb We are prepared to enter upon a
policy and course of conduct violative
of every rule of International law and
utterly unjustifiable.
“Ail who take any interest tn the
a uestlon Should keep In view the fact
tat Hawaii Is 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 bo any imminent neceash,- for
it* presence there. It has been sent tn
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
that disturbance* may be renewed
which might result in danger to the
persons nr property of American cltl-
xens entitled to the protection of the
United States. This oounse was st once
determin'd upon as soon as Informs
tton reached the government of the re
cent revolt.
"Ho far from having the slightest ob
jection to making publiu the iuxiruc-
ttona which were given to the com
mander of the Philadelphia and the dis
patch he will carry to Mr. Willis, our
minister in Hawaii. I am glad to out
them before my fellow citizens. Here
they are:
•' ‘Washington. Jan. 1», 1895.—To Rear
Admiral Beardsley, flagship Philadel
phia. San Francisco: Proceed with the
United States ship Philadelphia with
dispatch to Honolulu. Your purpose as
the United States senior naval officer
there will he the protection of the lln-e
and property of American citizens. In
case of civil war in the islands, ex
tend no atd or support, moral or physi
cal. to any of the tart lee engaged there
in. but keep steadily In view your duty
to protect the lives and property of ail
such citizens of the United States as
shall not by their participation in such
civil ec matin'Iona forfeit the rights tn
that regard to the protection of the
American flag. An American citizen
who. during a revolution in a foreign
ooantry, participates in an attempt by
force of arms or violence to maintain
or overthrow the existing government
cannot claim that the United Stated
Che state, has been in pcor ihealth for
quite a long time, and the family as
signs despondency as Che cause of iher
rtet. For vi-1rs Mr. Hooper hag lived
In a big square /house erf Che old ante
bellum Southern typo on Simpson
street, one of the landmarks of tlhe
town. Since Che death of her husband,
who was a well known merchant, ten
or twelve veors ago. her constant com-
minion at the old place has been her
niece and her aunt. This morning Mrs.
Hooper appeared In her usual spirits
and gave no Intimation of her con
templated suicide. A half hour after
she was missed from Che general liv
ing room at the family MBs Simmons,
her niece, found her lifeless body hang
ing suspended from the hr*0l door of
hey bedroom upstairs. Mra. Hooper
had fastened the rope, a small clothes
tine, on the opposite side of Che dww,
throwing the noose end over, and then
after mounting a onatr and fritting her
head through the noose kicked the
obitr mwav. Mra. Hooper was the aunt
of Mr. Hooper Alexander, the well
known iawver. and of Mr. W. E. Aui-
vlce president of the ftouthem

Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 20.—There was
no Change In tbe strike situati :t bore
today. Uip to noon, Che companies had
made no effort Co start out* on any
of Che lines which were expected to
be opened today, end but few on those
they have In operation. Large crowds
gathered In the vicinity of the various
depots, but most of the pensotts com
posing them were sight-seers end they
gave the police and tmllUla but little
trouble. Mayor ScSileren took hold of
Che #trike with new determination to
day. Puhllct Indignation at Repeated
disturbances In BpJU) of police end mili
tia, and public discomfort due 'to the
failure of the companies to restore the
opera,tlon of their roads even with
the olid of pWHce and troops, stirred
him to action. He sent for the strike
leaders and also for Che railroad presi
dents and held protracted conferences.
Nothing was accomplished that brings
Che strike any nearer settlement. The
mayor sent out the following official
statement covering the meJtter at 4
p. m.: .-y . .
"An sffort was made today to ascer
tain If an adjustment could be affected
in the interest of public convenience
and safety by which all surface rail
roads could be restored to Immediate
operation. To this end the mayor had
conferences with Messrs. Connelly,
Best and Ulb.in,representing th» former
omployes of the rallroids, and Inter
with various represent!'tlvea j of the
companies, including Messrs.' Lewis,
Norton and Wicker*. The effort was
without resjlt. CcrporalUon Counsel
McDonnld nnd Comtnlseion'r White
were present at the conferences."
Mr. Connolly later gave out the prop
osition thut the men mode to tlhe
mayor. It was that the companies re
store to their pay rolls all men who
were In their employ January 12 and
the mayor to appoint n loommlttee to
whom both sides could 'submit their
case, and the committee ip decide who
is to remain in the employ the roads
raid at whrut terms. The men made no
condition requiring the discharge of the
men employed to Ml their ptapfM. This
proposition was rejected bl the presi
dents of the companies. ]
T.ae mayor, after the f-ilure of Ms
arbUrrMt.in. decided that till- situation
was becoming grave. He lVimedlately
Held 'i consultation with kiig. Gen.
MoLoer, and nt 5 p. m. giro out tho
foUrwIng addition to hi* :". r."r state
ment: ,r-.-.
"Under the chrcutrestani c* li 1 < br
oom" n'-cew.’iry secure additional
protection In order to opesos more
conf.-rred with Gen. .M TJti.- 'md h.ia
made a request on the governor for
additional troops. Thtw will doubtless
be on duty prcmptly. It Is a Ume when
the gntherlng of people on the streeta
ts to be avoled. and tbe police have
been ordered and th<‘ m Hit la requested
to prevent any cAwds from gathering
sunt to keep Voltervr* off tlhe streets."
At « p. m .tbs mayor Issued the fol
lowing prwfamntton:
"To the Citizens of Brooklyn and the
Bub'.ic Generally: In the nine of the

with M. Faure's pi-rsonallty and the
probable character of tbe new French
ministry. T.V- emperor has b»-eh much
gratified by Count Muenster’s opinion
that M. Faure ts a man of parts and
firm character, capable of preserving
peace birth tut home and abroad. The
change In the French presidency has
certainly bad some effect upon ofnclal
plans, for Count Muenster ha# taken
pains to rstteratc the statement that
he nevor desired to leave his post in
purls. He had Intended to return to
Paris newt week, he said, to keep an
engagement to hum with Oaarmii'-Fc-
