Hawaiian question, which has
ed some of. the matt tumultuous
s witnessed In the fifty-third eon-
was the indirect cause of to-
altercatlon, between Messrs.'
(Democrat) of Missouri and
World go (Democrat) of Kentucky,
passing In sensational features any-
n* seen on the floor of the houoe
years. It was brought about by
effort by Mr. Hitt (Republican) of

connection of the British subjects
h the recent attempted revolution
Hawaii, at a thne when Bre !.!n-
ntte-1. I , got tile II *>r
tokl Iby itlhe treasurer the truth about
the matter. Mr. Teller's speech was of
same length, and several Interpella
tions by senators on ettlhcr side brought
out an expansion of the Colorado sena
tor's views and drew omit os well the
explanation from Senator Gorfntir. that
yesterday, when ihe (as it might have
been) used the word "revenue" in con
nection with sudh a provision as would
be placed on an appropriation bill he
meant to use the word “money.” Mr.
Gorman discfcrimen <*■*> proposition to
plnoe on <aa opirroprlatlon a bill to
raise more money. Mr. Teller said n“
such «r—u*»iH«n would go on an appro
priation bill with his support. The put
ting on an appropriation bill, he said,
of a prevision for borrowing money is
vlffous and ought to be prohibited by
tlhe constitution. Mr. Teller was ap
plauded upon concluding his speech.

with mudh impressiveness. Singularly
enough,the applause began on the floor,
Senator MltdheOl starting W, and the

closed by a short speech from Mr. 0*11,

Of the surplus there was In national

ot the preceding month.
A somewhat more encouraging showing
than for some months past Is made In
tha official statement of receipts and ex
penditures for January. Tho receipts
aggregated 827.8M.H9. an Incsoaso of nearly
87,000.000 over December lust year, and
nearly 84.000,000 greater than Jununry.
1804. For tho seven months of tho pres
ept fiscal year, tho receipts have aggro-
gated 8187,193.857, as against 8175.798,183 for
tha corresponding seven months of the
last fiscal year. Tho expenditures for
January foot up 131.523.447, on Increase
over January. 1894, of 83,000,000, and far
the seven months of tho fiscal year
amount to 8221,475.927. or 81.000,000 leva than
for the corresponding period of the last
fiscal year.
On February 1, 1894, treasury expenses
In excess of receipts were 855,000,000; on
Fobruary 1, 1805, they were 831,000,000 In
cxcees of revenue.
A turn In the tide* of gold exports oc
curred today, and fur the fii-t day

of lost cold. The net gain for the day
was slight, being only 8543,500: but it In
creased tha reserved to 842,916,4CT This
Increase was brought about by the re
turn. ot 81.800,000 In cold to the New York
sub-treasury by exporters and bankers
who had taken It out earlier In Ihe week.
Tlie srlthdrawals, however, continued on
a diminished scale, amounting for the
day to 81.257,500. Of this amount, 81.250,-
000 was for export. During January only
7-10 of 1 per cent, of the cuatoma receipts

Guatemala relies on the preliminary
treaty between the two republics, dat

Athens, Feb. 1.—(Special.)—Not for a

Athena which has caused to much talk
os liaa the resignation of Mias Willie
Rutherford as principal of the Lucy
Cobb XhSlJtuta, and when It became
known th«t this excellent lady was |
largely Inlluenced by the continued an
noyance o| tlie students \>f the Uni
versity, tbt matter was only the more
to bo regretted. While tt Is njt to the

Oeottor, 03'Athens «• a place ef «e-

aooner or laler come out. The hoys have
for a lo»* time been very, very
naughty, aid some of their escapades
around the* Lucy Cobb school would
'cause the blush of shame to come to
the cheeks of these students, if they
would only.: •:> to consider. Mlm Ruth
erford several times has had it tn her
power to prosecute students* but upon
their begging her forgiveness, and
making troa-clad promisee, their of
fense* have been condoned and the
officers lnstiucted to dismiss the cases.
This has happened in more oeses tear,
one. and a; tiroes the pjllee depart
ment has received censure Vilen It was
not deserved. Had Mire , Rutherford
taken legal ateps months ago the
almost weekly depredations would have
long since ceased, and perhaps her
resignation would have not been
deemed a necessity.
