HOT OVER HAWAII.
JMFJJLY PROCEEDINGS IN THE
BOI’SE OVER LIL'S OVERTHROW.
Swpublloans After Mr. Cleveland—The nem
•Ci*ats Al ill Not Let Any Censuring
Kcsolutlous go Through.
Washington, February 2.—(Special.)—The
democrats of the house today took up the
Kst distasteful task Mr. Cleveland has set
them, that of advocating or excusing
his Hawaiian policy. There are very few
Ben In congress who honestly believe In
r. Cleveland’s policy, and all are anxious
to let go of the tar-baby queen, but find
It impossible to get their lingers free. Even
the members of the foreign affairs commit
tee are heartily sick of the job they have
©•fore them, and most of the democrats
Would like to be somewhere else while the
•ebate is In progress. The matter opened
Mp turbulently this morning with Mr. Bou
lelie as the principal acter, in insisting that
bis resolution be considered first as a ques
tion of privilege. Mr. Boutelle continued his
Mrlo-comic grand stand play, when the
■rovious question was ordered on the reso
lution of the committee on rules setting
■part three days for the consideration of
the Hawaiian matter.
Mr. Boutelle demanded that the gentle
man’s words should be taken down and
the gentleman be called to order, and he
Also demanded that the gentleman take his
•sat. This Mr. Catchings did amidst the
laughter of the house and the excitement
continued while the house waited for the
official reporter to transcribe his notes and
Sand the copy to the clerk. The speaker
then called the house to order and in
Breathless interest the members listened to
»ae reading of the objectionable words.
His Words Taken Down.
Mr. Catchings was permitted to resume
>!b remarks. He iiad net uttered a couple
♦f sentences before Boutelle, under the mls
taken impression that Catchings was again
Indulging in_ personalities, interrupted him.
■A vote was then taken on the resolution
£pd it " as unanimously agreed to and Mr.
McCreary, of Kentucky, chairman of the
jere.gn atfairs committee, was recognized.
Before l e could pr.-eed, however, Mr. Hitt,
repuoiican, of Illinois, the ranking member
®f the minority of the foreign affairs com
yi't.ee, asxwT whether it would be in order
Tor me minority of the committee to offer
* substitute to the resolution of the ma
i*tt r before a vote was taken on the !
Non-Intreference Recommended.
The speaker said it would be in order.
The resolution reported from the foreign
affairs committee read as follows:
■Resolveil J, That it is the sense of this
house that the action of the United States
pslnlft r in employing United States naval j
forces and illegally aiding in overthrow- !
the constitutional government of the !
awaiian islands, in January, 1893, and in .
Betting up in its place a provisional govern
ment, not republican in form and in opposi
tion to the will of a majority of the people,
Was contrary to the traditions of our re
public and the spirit of our constitution,
'’t-y B i*°uld lie and is condemned.
"2. That we heartily approve the principle
announced by the president of the United
Btatee, that inti rs- ;< e with the domestic )
affairs of an indent ndent nation is e.pn- | j
trary to the spirit of American institutions. ; ■
And it is further the sense of this house j i
that tiie annexation of the Hawaiian islands 1 j
to our country, or the assumption of a pro- 1
teotorate over them by our government, is i
Uncalled for and inexpedient; that the peo- l ,
Ble of that country should have absolute 1 (
freedom and independence in pursuing their ■ <
©wn line of policy, and that foreign Inter- I ,
Yenticn in the political affairs of the islands
will not be regarded with indifference by j
the government of the United States.”
Repnltl ten si Resolutions. i
Mr. Hitt offered the following substitute
lor the above resolution:

At tiie bottom of tiie whole movement,
Mr- McCreary said, had been the represen

themselves and the missionaries or their
representatives. The latter were to have
tiie offices if the regular government could
be set aside and tiie sugar planters, who
hid made $60,000,000 under the reciprocity
treaty were to be enriched by getting the
juga’-’bountv of 2 cents a pound. But he

doubt that the sugar p.anters were today
less anxious for annexation than they had
been. (Applause.) lie declared himself op
posed to the annexation of Hawaii. He
hoped that his own side of the house would
sustain his resolution, which rad been
unanimously reported by the democratic
committee on foreign affairs. He hoped
they would adhere to the traditions ot the
past and stand up for justice to all nations
and for entangling alliances with none.
(Applause.)
Mr. Hitt spoke in opposition to tiie resolu
tion of the majority of the committee. He
said that tiie milling ot the senate com
mittee, which had been investigating tiie
whole matter and winch would be pub
lished In a few days, would lie far dif
ferent from the statements which are now
so positively asserted. The examination
on which these statements were based was
conducted on the .me pursued by a criminal
lawyer and the statements were purely ex
parte. If there was any man unfit to be
quoted it was the man who had made that
so-called investigation. That was tiie last
source to which we should go for instruc
tions touching the matter ot interference.
(Applause.) The previous speaker gad
railed against annexation, but how did we
know what would be the opin. on in the
white house next week. (Laughter and
applause.) There had been no statement by
Mr. Cleveland touching annexation. There
would be no interference on the part of
the foreign nations, for America had given
notice that any interference with the Ha
waiian Islands would be regarded as an act
unfriendly to the United States. He
praised the administration of President
Dole and io; stability and said that in
spite of the efforts of a powerful govern
ment to foment discord, that Ittle govern
ment had held its own and had maintained
its place In the family of nations. (Ap
plause.) He lidieuled the president’s at
tempt to restore the queen and said that
every one who had ever read a page of
history knew how futile it was to try to re
store a discarded, discredited and worn-out
government. He replied to the assertion
that the landing of marines from the
Boston was an act of war by stating that
the orders (copies of which he had before
him) specified that they were to be used
solely for the protection of life and prop
erty. Was it" not many times more an act
of war to send a nimbler there with orders
to overthrow the existing government and
to establish a monarchy?
He closed by paying a high tribute to the
courage and perseverance of the Ameri
cans in Hawadi, whose great sin was their
blind love for America and for free insti
tutiers. and whim the men of these islands
fotnd that the policy of restoration was to
be carried out, they barricaded their houses
and armed their citi?;ens, pr- pared to resist
to death the invasion of iheir freedom and
the’r rights. (Loud applause and cheers
on the republican side.)
I'lie lii.uge i- u>slng Hawaii.
Washngton, Febr.iry 3.—ln the house,
after the reading of yesterday’s
journal and the transaction of some
routine business, Mr. Money, of Mississippi,
offered the following resohition:
“Resolved, That tiie house of representa
tives of the United States of America re
gards with pleasure and satisfaction the
y; erupt action of Rear Admiral Benham on
the 27th ultimo, in tiie harbor of Rio de
Janeiro, in his effort to protect the citizens
and commerce of tiie United States.”
In connection, he had read the dispatches
from Benham and Thompson. Mr. Money
asked unanimous consent for its immediate
ccnsideration, but Mr. Simpson objected.
Mr. Money appeared very much annoyed
at this action and called attention to the
tact that the objection did not come from a
democrat.
“But it comes from one who stands very
near the democratic party,” replied Mr.
Reed.
TT Mr ’ continued his speech on the
resolutions, which was interrup
led by the adjournment of the house yes
referred caustically to the ac
ticn of a democratic number in introduc
ing t.ds morning a resolution comnTendiug
tor tiring upon a Brazilian
£k..l hl e th, ', re w as already pending in
the house a resolution to blacken the name
ot an American officer who never tired a
gun and who declared that his sole alm
was to protect American life and propertv
“I am satislied that according to the
usages and principles of international law
wa have no right, tv the use of arms or
force, to remedy the wrong that has been
vene, and that it is our duty for the pres
ent to recognize tiie defacto government
that is now in charge, and our duty in the
future to recognize such form of govern
ment as may be determined upon by the
wishes and suffrages of tiie people of the
islands.”
Isidore Gets Republicaii Atipliuise,
One of Mr. Rayner’s sentences miscar
ried. In adverting to the incident of the
raising of the American flag at Honolulu,
he said Mr. Stevens and his Hag were like
the Irishman and his shilialah whenever
you see a head hit it, and whenever you
see a place to raise a flag, run It up. (Loud
republican applause and cheers greeted this
sentiment.)
“That is the first patriotic sentiment he
has uttered,” said a republican member.
When, In alluding to the queen, he said lie
had no commiseration for her, for she had
placed herself beyond the pale of civiliza
tion, he was greeted with republican ap
plause.
A sharp discussion occurred between
Messrs. Money and Bickler. in the course
of which the latter asked whether Mr.
Money endorsed the action of the adminis
tration in persisting in its policy of restora
tion after II had learned that the queen
threatened to execute all those who were
engaged in the revolution.
SENATOR roi.Ql ITT WRITES.

Rome, Ga., February 2.—(Special.)— The
Tribune will print tills tomorrow; "Those
who counted Senator Colquitt out of the
race eor the succession have been counting
without their host. There is no longer
any doubt that he will make the race if we
may judge from ills own expressions. These
statemnest are based on a letter received
yesterday by a gentleman in this city who is
a personal friend of the senator. This let
ter is before the writer hereof, and from it
the following ..I’acts are taken:
“ "I find this telegram in the columns ot
The Constitution, if the correspondent is
correct every possible competitor for the
senatorship in Georgia lias a champion at
Rome except myself. Am I so completely
ignored in Rome as not even to have my
name mention d. 1 have though, and
think now, it is premature to discuss this
question, but it seems others are discussing
It and I feel a natural concern that commt
tals should be made in advance of the prop
er time for considering the question. 1
have not dei-lared myself as a candidate,
but my friends have a right to suppose 1
will be unless I withdraw from the race. All
I have to ask of them at present is that
if they can prevent, it, they will not allow
candidates for the legislature to be selected
with a view of opposing me.’ ”
The Report Denied.
Washington, January 31.—The report that
Archbishop Ireland is to succeed Monsignor
Satolli as tiie pope’s obligate in this country
and that Monsignor Satolli is to be recalled
was officially denied at the residence of

ANOTHER N.J. MIRACLE.
A. STORY FKO3I NEW JERSET WIIICB
WILL INTEREST EVERYONE
A Ainu Who Wiim Cured of Rhetiiimtisin
mid Paralysis After Siillering- for
Twenty-Six lear.s.
From The Philadelphia Record.
A very interesting story comes from Cape
May C. 11... N. J. The chief character in
the story is John L. Steel, who has lived in
that town for thirty years, and is one of
the best known min in Cape May county.
To a reporter, Mr. Steel said: “Certainly,
I’ll tell you the story. I am fifty-four
years old and was first attacked with the
rheumaism twenty-six years ago. I suffer
ed all that mortal man could stand. The
medicine and the doctoring 1 have had has
cost me at the very' least $2,500, but they
were all like so much water in my case.
"One day, in 1882, I was taken with a
chill up and down the back, my leg gave
out at the knee and I fell like a log. Never
shall I forget the agony 1 suffered. I
thought I would go crazy. I could not
walk, and my legs were all drawn up at
the knee and felt as if dead. It was with
out feeling and without power. I called
in Dr. Alexander Young, one of our town
physicians. He cupped and blistered me
without success. I went to Dr. Downs, a
physician of the old school. Dr. Downs
took my log and pulled it out straight,
then he laid it over the arm of the sofa
on which I was reclining, a..id from St sus
pended two bricks. Tiie pain was almost
unbeaarb’e. The battery was applied, and
the result was that I was just as bad as
ever. As a last recourse I went to the
late Dr. Pancoast, then of Jefferson college.
He pronounced my case chronic rheuma
tism, and said that he could relieve the
pain but could not cure me. He gave me
sarsaparilla and iodide of piotaissium, of
wh.ch I had already taken a quantity. I
telt that I was going from bad to woise.
lha pains yere growing more intense, rov
bony was growing weaker and I had to
crawl upstairs on my hands and knees.
1 was as white as a sheet, and at times
nearly frozen to death. 1 slept unde,
enough covering to crush me, and was cold
then. I had Io lift my leg around wher.-v r
I wanted It, but at night it would twitch
and jerk :.s though possessed by some fiend
ish power.
“Well, to cut a long story' short. I read
in 1 lie Philadelphia Record of» a man
wiio had been cured by Dr. Williams’s Pink
1 ills for Pale People. The story appeared
to be an authentic account, and with a
ray of hope 1. sent for two boxes of Pink
Pills. This was about six months ago. As
soon as I began to take them they' began
to do me good. I felt as though I had
beer, given fresh blood and new muscles.
When the two boxes wore finished 1 sent
for two more, and under this treatment
continued Io improve. I began 'to rejoin
the use of my limbs and I could soon
get around with the aid of a crutch and
cane. Now I nave discarded the crutch.
I have an excellent appetite and feel first
class all over.
“Why Pink Pills have done more for me
than all the rest of tiie medicine and doc
tors put together and my recovery is due
solely to them. I have taken in ail twenty
boxes ot Pink rills and you can see for
yourself what they have accomplish'd”
•Suiting the action to the words, Mr Steel
placed Ins cane over his shoulder ana walk
ed off like a man who had never h id an
hours sickness in his life. Some idea of
the severity ot his case can lie had from
the .act that his left leg has been shorten
ed nearly’ an inch by the ravages of tie
disease The following affidavit was made
net Jonn Spalding, Jnstk-p of the
who hius known Mr. Steel during ids < nii-.’

Governor Mitchell Has the Lottery to Deal

Washington, February 3.—The alleged at
tempt to re-establish the Louisiana lott< . v,
under a nominal Honduras charter, at Bort
Tampa City, Fla., was not unknown to
Senator I’asco, who lias been interesting

"The Florida constitution contains a pi\’-
hibition of lotteries,” said the #emitur lais
morning, “ami our laws have hole.oliit

BOOMING FLORIDA.
IBP IS TALKING FOR THE STATE
LIKE AREAL ESTATE AGENT.
Quail, Oriulges and Hotels are Plentiful.
Little Interest is Taken in the Corbett-
Alilchell Fight by the Natives.
What a pity that a man can’t be built like
the one-horse shay and wear out ail over at
once. What a pity that his bruin and liver
and lungs and heart and kidneys and bones
and muscles and sight and hearing and
taste and smell couldn’t all be sound until
the time came for a general collapse and
then fail to pieces like the one-horse
; shay. What an amount of pain and suffering
i it would prevent. Here I have been almost
dead with that same old kidney that ever
and anon gets on a rampage and jerks me
around without warning or mercy. 1 got
exposed in traveling around and liked to
have died before I got back to Clear Water,
where a good doctor and good nursing saved
me. Oh, the misery of that attack! I tried
my old remedies, nitre arid puragoric, then
a belladona plaster and another “terra del
fugo,” 1 think, and some chloral and some
morphine internally' and some more exter
nally and some pills and some Lithia arid
some 2727 anil 2728 and other portions of a
drug store too tedious to mention. I got
some temporary relief and hurried away to
my daughter’s, so as to have some tears
shed over my remains if I died. But as
Daniel Webster said on iris last bed, "I still
live," and am truly grateful to a kind prov
idence for his mercy. That kidney has
surrendered to science and gone on duty
again. Tiie belligerent tiling tried to get out
but it couldn’t. Dr. Schreider, of New York,
wiio was General Grant's physician, was
death on these refractory kidneys. Rev. Mr.
Burchard, who preached that famous ser
mon on “Rum, Romanism and Rebellion,”
was at tiie point of death from kidney dis
ease and sent for Schreider. He cut him
open in the back and took out his kidney
and cleaned it anil put it back and sewed
him upjmd he got well and preached that
sermon, and made tiie Roman Catholics
mad, and they' voted for Cleveland and
elected him. Dr. Schreider was a democrat
and always claimed the credit of Cleveland’s
first election. “!■’<■.r,” said lie, “I saved old
Burchard’s life. No other doctor upon
ea.'th would have dared to cut
him open and he would have died
and that fool sermon would never have
been preached and Blaine would have been
elected; don’t you see?”
But I am still delighted with Florida,
I have been to Plant City and Dade City
and Leesburg and found the good people in
every' place content with their homes. I
did net find time to drive out and see the
famous orange tree near Plant City—a tree
that is three feet in diameter and sixty
feet high and sixty feet in
breadth of branches, and that
hears 10,000 oranges. This is the
region famous for quails. Two small boys
brought in seventy-five to the
hotel and sold them for 5
cents apiece. They caught them in traps.
Two hunters brought in 115 the same day'
that they had killed on the wing. Quails
are abundant all over this side for tiie hunt
ers have but recently begun to shoot them
on the gulf coast.
Nature has done much for Leesburg. Its
surroundings are exquisitely beautiful.
There is hardly room between Lakes Griffin
and Harris for the town. It has only’ one
long, beautiful street. Fine hotels and ele
gant stores adorn this street, and it is pave
ed with solid, durable clay. This clay
abounds in many convenient places along
the public highways, and many miles have
already been graded with it at a cost of <
about SIOO a mile. Just think of that! It
has cost Orlando SI,OOO a mile, for it has to
;
water fish abound in them. Leesburg is a (
gem and I would be content to have a (
thmc if I had not seen clear water There ;
mav be more attractive places in h iorida
than tliis, but I have not found them, and <
everybody I meet elsewhere gives ( leai- ,
water all praise for its health ami beamy i
of location. One of my daughters asked a i
’ d who has lived here eight years, where ;
was the cemetery, and she looked confused

enough inquries mysilt to have ml-d it.
T>ie trouble with common boarding houses
in v e is tlu' luck of chimneys. Hardly any
private house has more than one room
with a fireplace. This does not satisfy our
mwountry folks who like a little lire in
tiie early morning during the winter montns
Our landlord, Mr. Anspaugh, knew how it
was, for he came from Cartersville, and
we have fire when wo want it. Old-fash
ioned people believe that it disperses a
malarial or malignant atmosphere.
Dot the chiarm ot < ’iearwatvr is its Quiet
and peaceful serenity and its beautiful out
look. The outer world is a mat ter of no
concern, while the oars and the saiio
mid the islands and the surf are in sight
and the fish are greedy tor the bait, ihe
tariff and the Hawaain islands are of sec
ondary importance. Even the postolfice is
of no great concern so long as our worthy
postmaster brings us news from home anl
sends away' our letters. As i’or Corbett and
Mitchell the fight was hardly mentnnwl
at'the breakfast table. Our colored barber
alone took any interest in it, and is now
banking on the negro Jackson whipping
Corbett. It is amazing what a.i excitement
that pugilistic encounter created, and bow
earnestly it lias been defended by many good
people. In all history, sacred and
profane, there is not an instance
of a pugilist having accomplished any good
for mankind. “There were giants in those
days ” sayeth the scriptures, but that is
: all. They were giants. Goliah was ot no
’ consequence nor did Samson set a good ex
ample. All the great and good Then of
history' had brains and hearts—their mus
cles arc not mentioned—nevertheless if a
man is deficient in the former I reckon it
i is well enough for him io develop some
thing. If lie can’t be a shepherd dog or a

THE AIONETARY < (INFERENCE.
Its Definite Abandonment by the
United Santes.
From The New York Journal of Commerce.
Washington, January 27. The notification
recently sent to Brussels, that the United
States government would not ask a reas
sembling of the international monetary j
conference of 1892, was intended for a deli- j
nite indication of the position of the pres- ,
ent administration on the silver question. 1
Tiie United States have finally gotten rid
of the burden of enormous silver purchases !
far below the coining rate, and if it is to
be taken up again by them or any’ other
nation the administration proposes that Hie
proposition shall come from abroad. It Is
probably the absolute refusal of President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle to consider i
further silver legislation that has caused |
so much irritation among the silver men
in congress over the issue of gold bonds.
They seem to realize that the strengthen
ing of the gold reserve, even by extraordi
nary measures, is the supplement to the
repeal of the Sherman silver purchase
law, and completes the work of planting
our financial system upon a gold basis. The
knowledge that the president will not ap
prove further silver legislation, followed by
the information now made public, that
he will not even seek another gathering
of the monetary conference, will naturally
be displeasing to the advocates of the white
metal. The president would not decline
an invitation extended to this country by
a leading foreign power to participate in
another conference, but he will not put the
United States in the position they have
so often occupied at Paris and Brussels,
of asking European help to carry the load
fastened upon the treasury by our own
laws. The feeling seems to be growing
in administration circles that the United
States, since the repeal of the Sherman
law, can hold their own in the fight for
gold, and that there is no reason to antici
pate any evil results to the commerce or
finances of this country from the “gold
scarcity" about which the advocates of bi
metallism have so much to say.
Silver has fallen so low that it is doubted
whether any agreement could be made.
With Russia. Germany, Austria and Italy'
committed to the gold standard, to say
nothing of tiie lung-continued suspension
of silver coinage by the Latin union, it is
not believed that universal bimetallism
is possible in the near future: and any al
ternative propositions for the rehabilitation
of silver will be as critically' scanned by
this government, if they originate with one
of the European powers, as similar propo
sitions were scanned by them when they
hud the qualified support of our delegates
at Brussels. C. a. C.
