20th Day. —The Hawaiian contro-
troversy waxes warmer from day to
day in the senate. Nearly a score of
resolutions have already been intro¬
duced on the subject, but the end is
not yet in sight. After more than an
hour’s sharp discussion today the sen¬
ate adjourned with the promise of a
prolonged discussion on the Frye res-
olutiou on Wednesday and a possibil-
ity of Mr. Turple’s lesolution, today
presented, being called up tomorrow.
Mr. Hoar succeeded in ascertaining
with practical certainty that. Commis¬
sioner Blount was paid from the secret
fund of the state department, this be¬
ing substantially admitted by the dem¬
ocrats.
22nd Day. -The principal event in
the senate today was Die speech of
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, in sup-
port of the policy of non-intervention
in Hawaiian affairs, the senator
plainly represented himself as in fa-
vor of the annexation of Hawaii and
declared that to be the manifet destiny
of the Hawiian islands, In the earli-
er part of the day, and on another sub-
jeet, Senator Gorman created some
surprise by declaring that during the
past three years the total appropria¬
tions of congress had exceeded by
8300,000,000 the total revenue of the
goverument during that period. A
large portion of this enormous aggre-
gale is for public buildings and is in a
great measuro yet iuexpended.
23rd Day.— The Hawaiian contro.
versy consumed almost the whole time
in the senate today. Mr. Davis of
Minnesota concluded his speech in
opposition to the policy of the present
administration, and was particularly
emphatic in his opposition to the act
of the president in commissioning Mr.
Blount to Hawaii aud clothing him
with plenary powers, even to the ex-
tent of control of tiie naval forces
without such and appoint meat having
been continued by the senate. Mr.
Tnrpie made an horn ’s speech that
was full of surprises. It was a strong
local argument, bused on international
ami, diplomatic law, aud took the po-
siii.m that 1 he provisional government,
Living been mice recognized by tne
United Stales anil Die civilized world,
it was a fact accomplished and the re-
coguiiion could not he withdrawn.
24th Day.— The chief event of Die
open session of the Senate today was
the adoption of Die resolution of Mr.
Allen, the populist senator from Ne-
braska, calling upon the secretary of
the treasury to explain certain figures
in his recent report in regard to the
gold importations for 1893. Mr.
Dolph of Oregon joined with the pop-
ulist senator in expressing an inability
to comprehend the secretary’s report,
and a resolution of inquiry was adop-
ted without any dissent. The
Hawaiian correspondence, expected
to be communicated Gy the president,
was not received and at 12:30, on
motion of Mr. Gray, the senate went
into executive session, which lasted
until S p. m., when au adjournment
was taken until Monday.
In Tim Honse.
18th Day.— Republicans were again
able to block the proceedings in tiie
house today by refusing to vote. The
Committee on rules, however, made a
report that the iiual vote on the tariff
bill should be taken January 25th. It
looks very much like some of tiie
Democrats are in league with the re¬
publicans by the way they keep out
of reach of the roll call, or by refusing
to vote when they are present.
19th Day— Another day of
wrangling occurred in the house aud
a deadlock stiff on, when it a vote
was taken. The republicans with a
small portion of democrats still refus¬
ing to vote. Mr. Boutelle republican
has occupied the floor most of the time
since Congress readjourned, trying to
get a resolution before the house on
the Hawaiian question.
20th Day.—T iie House debato on
the Wilson biff is at Just under way.
After a deadlock of four days the
democrats, with the aid of warrants to
arrest absentees, succeeded today in
mustering a quorum, and the obstruc¬
tions whieh were placed in the path of
the tariff debate last week was forced
aside. A sharp tilt, with Mr. Boutelle
over the Hawaiian matter and a lively
debate over the adoption of the special
order fixing limits of the debate pre¬
ceded Mr. Wilson’s opening speech.
The chairman of the committee on
ways and means began at 3:15,. and
after speaking one hour and a half
was so exhausted that he asked the
indulgence of the house to complete
his remarks tomorrow. His speech
evidently made a deep impression.
The evening sesjion was devoted to
general debate on the biff.
22nd Day. -The third day of tariff
debate in the house was enlivened by
a sensational speech by Mr. Johnson
of Ohio. He boldly attacked the dem¬
ocrats for the timid manner in which
they had handled the tariff question
and charged them with cowardice.
Mr. Dolzell, of Pittsburg and Messrs.
Woomex of Pennsylvania and Combs,
of Now York were other speakers.
Mr. Cummings, chairman of the com¬
mittee on naval affairs, asked unani¬
mous cousent to consider the Boutelle
resolution reported hack from the na-
vay committee calling on the secretary
of the navy for copies of all orders
and communications which placed the
officers, men and ships of the United
States navy under the control of Com¬
missioner Blount, a civilian who had
not been confirmed by the senate
The attempt to secure unanimous con¬
sideration for tliis resolution raise
another rnerrv row. which concludo
with another verbal duel between Mr.
Boutelle and thespoaker. At 5:15 the
house took a recess until 8 o’clock.
At the night session Mr. Snodgrass,
of Tennessee, Mr. Mahaw, of Penn¬
sylvania and Mr. Curtis of Kansas
were the speakers.
23isd Day __Save for a recess of
two hoars, there was an uninterrupted
flow of tariff’ oratory in the house
again today from 11 o’clock this morn¬
ing until 10. o’clock tonight. The
debate is beginning to flag a little,
The principal speakers today were Mr.
Breckonridge of Kentucky, Mr, Spriu-
ger of Illinois, Mr. Dingier of Maine
and Mr. Harter of Ohio,
24th Day—T he day was again
spent in the house in speech making
for and against the tariff bill. Jerry
Simpson, of Kansas was the lion of
'-he day. .
Vanderbilt's Hoads.
The advocates of the income tax are
passing about some figures which af-
ford them much satisfaction. There
are registered at ihe treasury in the
name of Win. H. Vanderbilt, $47
050,000 4-per-cent, bonds. On Dee.
31 a check for $470,000 was sthit to
Mr. Vanderbilt, This is done every
three months. In the course of the
year the United States government
sends to Mr. Vanderbilt $1,882,000.
The seeui ity is as ucariy absolute as
possible. There is no possibility of
loss from fire or thieves, or any the
usual risks. Not a cent of tax is paid,
national, state or municipal. W’itli
such an income tax as the^ ways and
means committee has voted to impose,
Mr. Vanderbilt’s legistered bonds will
yield the government $37,640 a year,
That is the object lesson the income
taxes are presenting for the considera-
lion of people who work for a living,
A MU<LIOM uo^.ut BLAZE
lhe World’s Fair Grounds Again the
Some ol a Fire.
The second great fire at the World’s
exposition, Chicago, broke out early
Monday night in the Casino, which
was in a short time consumed. The
Peristyle was next to follow; after
which the great Electricity building
was consumed. Then the Manufac-
turers and Liberal Arts building, with
its hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth cf beautiful contributions from
ail parts of the world, was consumed
by the devouring elements. At 11:16
p. m. the Haines were beyond control,
In this structure were 24,000 valuable
packages, aud their value at this time
is incalculable.
Federal officials place the loss at
$1,000,000, though others claim that
it will reach at least $1,500,000.
The great fire was not without its
work of death and injury. For the
second time within the history of the
exposition firemen risked their life
and limb to save the property of oth- I
ers, and saddened homes are the re. |
suit. ; I

STANDING STILL.
Trade Waits on the Tariff—Everything Wilt
be Uncertain Till Congress Acts.
It U. L)uu & Co.’s weekly review
trade says: The cloud of uncertainly
does not lift as yet. Strong confidence
is expressed in nearly ail markets that
trade must improve with the new year,
but it is yet too early to expect iinpor-
taut changes, if it is really on the way.
In the main, the conditions continue
unaltered; but the proposal of the in¬
come tax is not calculated to inspire
•cenhdcTice, nor does it encourage hope
iihat uncertainty about revenue laws
will be speedily terminated. Money
from the interior still floods this mar-
ket, commercial inactivity still causes
the amount of idle funds to swell be-
yond all precedent, and rates are so
low that speculation might be danger.
ouslv stimulated if a feeding of hope-
fulness prevailed.
it is questionable whether the work¬
ing force in the great industries has
increased as yet, though at about the
first of the year a considerable increase
was expected. The number of mills
starting and stopping work is about
the same. Fries of cotton goods are fur
tiier reduced to encourage purchases.
Moat of the slice ..imps are moderately
employed, and the decrease in ship¬
ment for week is 17 per cent, against
JO per cent for the last seven mouths
of 1893. Still lower prices are re.
corded in iron and steel, both at Pitts¬
burg and at Philadelphia, without an
• increase in the value of business. It
is believed ihat the output of pig,
though 40 per cent Jess than a year
i ago, exceeds the present consumption.
The results of an inquiry regarding
the extent of decreases in various
branches of business during the last
' half of 1893 are remarkable. Actual
sales have teen reported by 1,111
houses or coni] aides, aggregating
8213,409,023 this year, against $304,-
400,103 in ilie same months last year,

NEW JERSEY’S DILEMMA.
Republicans Break Into TJje Senate

A special from Trenton, N. J. says:
The republicans secured possession of
the senate chamber Monday afternoon,
They are still in possession and say
that they will retain the advantage
they have gained. The republicans
asked Governor Wortz for the keys of
the chamber. The Governor refused
to have anything to do with Die met¬
ter. A committee then visited Su
perintendent Worm of the state house
He referred them to Michael Nathan,
the democratic sergeant-at-arms. Na
than could not be found and the re¬
publicans sent, for a locksmith. The
locksmith was unable to effect an en-
trance and 100 keys were tried in the
chamber door, but without avail.

Ex-Queen 1,11.
The steamer YVavirmoo, which ar¬
rived Monday night, brought advices
from Honolulu under date of January
On the 10th of December, Minister
Willis demanded, of the provisional
government that it surrender to the
qeuen.
President Dole replied, refusing to
I consider this demand,
i The government is keeping the an.
j ower of Dole to Willis’demands secret
I until it shall have had time to reach
i * 10 prosulcni. i" following ,smn-
! ma| y> however, lias been obtained
from good authority:
>o e noting tint this is
t ic first official communication this
government inis had intimating in any
, j wa T the policy of President Cleveland
1 toward Hawail - By no notion of this
1 government lias any matter connected
with Die iaie revolution been submit¬
ted to the authority of the United
States. This is carefully argued.
No intimation has ever been made
to Die provisional government of any¬
thing having been done or considered
in the premises until the alleged con¬
clusion of the president now presented
by Minister Willis.
An exhaustive resume is given n
the series of political struggles leading
up to the revolution, including the
acts of Kalukauu before 1887, and His
obstructing and dictating legislation
by filling the legisiatine with office¬
holders.
The climax was reached in the opi¬
um scandal when Kalakaua took a
. bribe .. of 871,000, previously prepared ,
for this legislature. The citizens then
united to overthrow the monarchy.
This was averted by submission to
the new constitution, which took most
of Ins arbitrary power away Thence
on till his death he constantly chafed
and sought to evade those restrictions
The inside history of the attempted
r f oUu,0 n of 18-9 is then recited, and
of Lihoukalani T , s participation therein ;
the opposition then shown by her u,
the rights and interests of foreigners
was after her ascending to the throne,
constant y emphasized. It became
violent during the latter part of 1892,
as shown by her perverse appoint-
merits of our cabinets in opposition to
the will of the legislature. Ihe events
of the last week ol her reign are re-
cited; the resuscitation of the defunct
lottery bill, the removal of the Wilcox
cabinet, all through the queen’s per.
sonal influence.
Dole recites the attempted coup-
d’ etat action of Die committee of
safety and the two mass meetings of
foreigners and natives.
The committee deemed the presence
of the American forces necessary for
the protection of life aud property
and requested Stevens to land them,
Dole denounces, in the strongest
terms, the falsehood that Stevens
was evei asked to have his forces as¬
sist in the revolution or that he ever
did so.
The government disclaims having
ever authorized Dainon or any other
person 10 make terras for the queen’s
surrender, and denies that lie ever re¬
ported or was asked to report such
terms. Damon made those terms on
his own responsibility. Never before
nor since the revolution did the
members of Die committee of safety
confer with Stevens about the over¬
throw of the government.
The provisional government is re¬
sponsible only to those who constituted
and are now mantaining it in power.
It is amenable to no foreign power on
earth, it has always been faithful to
its constituents, and by no acts or in-
timatiou has ever offered to submit
its rights to the Unites States or any
other power. For these reasons, tins
government must refuse to consider
the proposition of Minister Willis,
appeals to their patriotism and moral
sense nor to the terras of amnesty
secured from the ex-queen.
New Orleans Sensation.
George Winchester of ew Orleans
suicided dramatically in front of tiie
residence of Capt. T. P. Leathers, the
famous steamboat man and captain of
the Natchez, one of the boats in the
historic race to St. Louis many years
ago. Mr. Winchester was a son-iu-
law of Capt. Leathers, having married
Miss Courtney Leathers, who stood
high in social circles and who was
once queen of the carnival. At an
early hour Winchester walked up to
the entrance of Capt. Leathers’ resi-
dence on Carondelet street, and put¬
ting a pistol to liis head blew ilia
brains out, dying instantly. He had
been iff, and this is the only known
cause for the deed.
Improved War Weapon.
The Archduke Carl Salvador, in
conjunction with another officer
of the French array, has invented an
automatic mitrailleuse, which is re¬
ported to be the best yet made. It
fires 450 to 580 shots a minute.
Smokeless powder can be employed;
40,000 rounds lias been tired from one
barrel of the weapon without show¬
ing an> defect.

MURDER AT BIRMINGHAM
Of ii Non-Com missioned Officer of
The United States Army.
IliiiMiNGir am, Jan. 7.—Birmingham
lias been in a great slate of excite-
ment today on account of the foul
murder of a United States army offi¬
cer, whose dead body, dressed in full
uniform, was found by two boys this
morning in the woods in the western
outskirts of the city. There were two
bullet holes in the neck just below the
left ear.
A furlough in the dead man’s pock¬
et identified him as Eugene Walker,
sergeant of the Sixth cavalry, station¬
ed at Fort Niobrara, Neb.
Several hours after the finding of
(lie corpse, Eugene Byars, a cousin of
the dead man, and h desperate char,
aeler, visited the undertaker’s shop
and identified the body, Byars was
drunk and did so much talking that
he was at once arrested on suspicion.
Byars said that (Sergeant Walker
arrived hero Friday and was eu route
to Eldridge, Ala., to visit his father,
who is a promineut citizen of Walker
county. He said he was with Walker
ail day yesterday, both drinking, and
left him last night at 6 o’clock.
Later on a street car conductor told
the officers that two men went out on
liis car about 7 o’clock last night and
got oil’ at a point opposin' the scene
()t - ,j )0 m | U .j ei .. j[o identified the dead
man as one ifhd Byars as the otlifer.
It was shortly after 7 o’clock that res¬
idents in Die neighborhood of the
scene heard two pistol shots fired in
