Rice said the legislature would adjourn

WasuimiTon, I). C., Jan. Jt*. The
Senate to day adopted by a vote of 24 to
22, the .substitute ojlered \esteruay by
Mr. Vest to the resolution of Mr. Alien,
which favored the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands.
The substitute re affirms the policy of
absolute non-interference with t he atfaws
of other nations and declares the ad
ministration of President Cleveland in
maintaining that poiicy to deserve the
approval and support of the American
people.
It did not receive - single Republican
vote except that of Mr Pott grew. All
the Populists-Allen, Kyle, Peffcr and
Stewart—recorded their votes with the
Republicans, in the negative.
Before the vote was taken there was
quite a spirited demit ,; ation on the
part of Senators Lodge and Frye ot the
newspaper charge that New England
Senators were influenced in their course
in favor of annexation b\ the fact that
a la*go amt uht of Hawaiian bonds were
held m New England, Which had cos’
only twenty five cents on the dollar, and
that annexation would immediately
bring them to par. WTh a display of
indignation. Mr. Frye charged that the
information which formed the liasis < t
the newspaper charge had been f urnished
by Mr Mills, but when the Texas Sena
tor most indignantly contradicted that
statement, Mr Frye instantly with
drew it.

The resolution is as follow s
“That while the people of the l nited

Chairman \% ilson Declares the Treas
ury Can Stand a Deficit of S,VO,».H>O.
. Washington, D; 0., Jan. 26 —Some
striking statements regarding the finan
cial outlook of the National Treasury
1 were made in the House to day by Chair
r man Wilson of the Committee 01 Ways
and Means. They were uttered in the
course of the opening argument on the
bill to repeal the provisit n of the Tariff
act which imposes an additional duty of
I*lo of a cent a pound on sugars, molas
ses and syrups, imported from countries
which pay an export bounty on the-fc
a: tides
Mr. Wilson, in tin* beginning, bad read
rhe correspondence between Secretary
Gresham and the German Andutssador
relatiug to the protests by Germany
against the adoption of the differential
<lmy, and to the prohibition by Germany
of American cattle and meat products.
Discussing th>» “favored nation” of
commercial treaties, Mr. Wilson spoke of
Attorney Olney's interpretation in oppo
sition to that of Secretary Gresham's as
an obiter dictum. But it was when
he came to discuss the financial bear
ing of the bill, that the chairman
of the Ways and Means committee
aroused the ironical laughter of Repub
licans and the enthusiasm of Democrats
He declared there was uo danger that
the treasury would default in the pay
ment of expenses of the government;
that it could, under present conditions,
st and a deficit of $50,000,000 in rec* ipts
this year, and still pay all qbligations;
that revenues were increasing aud rapid
ly approaching a point where they would
yield a surplus, and that the present,
tariff bill would provide sufficient reve
nues for all purposes. He advocated
the repeal of the duty because it was
right and just to do s<»; because it was a
protective duty levied for the benefit of
the sugar trust and against the interests
of the consumers; because it would re
lieve the irritation of foreign govern
ments, and because the revenue arising
from it were not needed.
Want* io increase Duly on Sugar.
Messrs. Meyer and Price, of the
Louisiana delegation, spoke in support
of an amendment proposed by the fer
„merto increase the duty on raw sugar
from 40 to 50 per cent, ad valorem.
Mr. Reed did not open the discussion
of the Republicans,’ but Mr. Payne of
New York, came forward. This fact
caused soaie speculation as to whether
or not it meant that Mr Reed intended
to make Mr. Payne chairman of the
Wafted Menus Commit tee, and. the
Republican leader on the floor iu the
Fifty-ninth Congress. , ,
Mr. Payne hoiiteiijcled that trie adop
tion of the differential duty was not in'
- violation of treaty obligations, and said
that if such legiVlation was to be follow
ed by a commercial war, let the war
■ come, but let Congress stand for the
rights of (hi? country underTfs treaties.
The last spekker was Warner (Dem ).
of New York, who argued that the duty
sought, to be repea'ed was not in any de
| gree essential to the refiners o? the
country, ami th «t the trouble with the
j sugar planters of Loni.-iana was a reli t
, ance upon the stimulation of the tariff
for the-support of their business.

before the Senator was allowed to speak,
such was the ovation he received. When
quiet had been restored Mr. Hill spoke
in part as follows :
“The mission of the Democratic
party is not ended. Temporary ve
verses may imp'air its present useful
ness, inadequate leadership may retard
its successes iu the near future,
local differences may embarrass its
efforts for self diseuthrallmeut from uti
fortunate conditions, yet nevertheless
its vital principles being essential to the
prosperity o! the republic, its splendid
achievements in the past furnishing its
guarantees for the future, its unswerv
ing devo iou to civil aud religious
liberty in defeat as well as
in victory, its uniform insistence upon
the constitutional l mit itiops of Federal
power; its advocacy,of a reasonable and
necessary rights of the States under our
dual form of government, its adherence
to the doctrine of public taxation for
public purposes only, its traditional
record of opposition to monopolistic
tendencies on the otic hand and cm
immistic sentiments on the other the
conclusion becomes irresistible that such a
party with tuich principles, traditions,
sentiments and achievements ‘is* still
capable of securing magnificent and per
manept ren Its for the good of the
conn ry,
“But 110 matter how high the stand
ards of any political party may he, how
brilliant its past achievements, or how
excellent its principles, it cannot hope
for valuable, and successful results wit fl
out a thorough organization of i s ad
herents. Men who think alike uppo pub
lic questions must bo .brought together;
there must be unity of purpose,
harmonious council, full consultation*
the will of the majority fairly expressed
