Items of General Interest that are Occur¬ ring at the Capital City, la The tScnal*. 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recognized by tne United Stales anil Die civilized world, it was a fact accomplished and the re- coguiiion could not he withdrawn. 24th Day.— The chief event of Die open session of the Senate today was the adoption of Die resolution of Mr.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 THE DEAD. | William Mackey a pipeman of en- gme company No. 61, tell from a lad- Per of the Peristyle; internally m- ; jured aud died at the Mercy hospital. | THE INJURED.

An Australian paper speaks highly of the attempt to cultivate arrow-root in tropical Queensland. Mulhall estimates that the total ufactures of the world annually equal in value the enormous sum of 370,000 000, Nicholas Boos, a cigar manufacturer in Kansas City, has been fined $100 for using counterfeit labels of the In¬ ternational Cigar-Markers’ union. Every department of labor has an organization, it would seem. The Beer Drivers’ union has just decided to apply to the Knights of Labor for a charter. A syndicate of farmers and dealers in biittor has been formed in Norman¬ dy, France, to wage war against the fraudulent sale of oleomargarine as pure butter. After January 1, the death benefit of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train¬ men will be $1,200. The organization l£i,“VS >■ j“: 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, decrease of 29.7 per cent.

NEW JERSEY’S DILEMMA. Republicans Break Into TJje Senate Chamber ami lake Charge, 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. Capt.

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. A Senator's Wile Bead. Mrs. F. M.

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.
