lell la a Dally Nulsauce The
Senate aud Hawaii.
Washington, D. C, Jau. s. In tbe
Senate today after tbe routine morning
business Chandler offered a resolution
directing the judiciary committee to in
quire and report its opinion as to the
cases in which tbe President may consti
tutionally send agents or commissioners
to foreign countries, without the advice
and consent of Congress.
Let that resolution lie over," said
Mr. Gorman, and the resolution went
over till tomorrow. 1 lien Mr. Hoar s
resolution, offered last week, calling on
tbe Secretary of the Treasury for a state
ment as to the payments to Mr. Hlount.
commissioner to Hawaii, was laid be
fore tbe Senate, and Gorman moved its
reference to tbe committee on foreign
relations.
Finaally the Hoar resolution was re
ferred to the committee on foreign rela
tions. Then Mr. Turpe offered resolu
tions which went over until tomorrow,
declaring, among other things, that
foreign intervention in the political affairs
of the Hawaiian Islands will be regarded
as an act untnendly to the government
of the United States. The Frye resolu
tion as to Hawaii was laid before the
Ssnate, and went over until Wednesday.
Alter tour days of fruitless effort to
secure the presence of a voting Demo
cratic quorum, tbe House adopted just
oelore adjournment Saturday night tbe
extreme expedient of ordering the arrest
of oil members absent without leave. Of
the forty members absent without leave
twenty-one were Dcmocratsand nineteen
Republicans.
When the Speaker took his scat this
morning there was an air of bustling
activity in the House. The usual con
troversy between Mr. lloutclle and the
Speaker came up immediately after the
reading of the journal, and gave rise to
more excitement than on any previous
day. Mr. Keed and Mr. lloutclle spoke
in favor of considering the hitter's
Hawaiian resolution, and the latter
again made the point that it was a ciues-
tion of privilege, white the 8iecial order
irom the committee on rules, relu
tive to the tariff" bill, was merely
privileged report, and that the
former took precedence over the latter

under whose auspices he was laboring,"
says the Stutesville Landmark. "The
reason for this action is that Mr. Mc
Gilvary holds the views of Kev. Hr.
Charles F. IJriggs. Hcfore Mr. McGil
vary went to the foreign field he imbibed1
the views of Dr. Hriggs, and alter the

that he could not longer, consistently,
remain in the church and therefore
tendered his resignation, which was
promptly accepted."
Mr. McGilvary is a son of Kcv. Dr. I).

manv years, who delivered an address on
the Siam mission work in the 1 list I'rcs-
bytcrian church here a few Sundays ago.
The son is said to be an old "Ilingiium
boy," having attended it before its re
moval to Asheville. The Landmark says
this action of the son is a source of grid'
to the father, who had hoped the former
would take up and carry on the work
which the latter's advancing years will
soon force him to lay down. The young
man will rcturu to America.

The Story ol a Peach Tree aud a
Knot Hole.
Five yeurs ago a peach sprout sprang
up and grew on the property of II. But
terham, just west of the city. The
sprout stood very near a fence, and, like
the peach immortalized in the song which
tells of little Johnny Jones and his sister
Sue, it grew and grew, although there
was none to listen to its tale ol woe u it
had one. liye and bvc as the twig got a
a size on itself its top leaned towards
the fence and finding a knot bole in a
rail took possession thereof and pro
ceeded to monopolize the space.
Today Mr. Hatteiham sent to lnii
Citizen museum by K. V. Iliiglus a
section of the fence rail and the tree that
had grown through the knot hole. 1 lie
hole is completely filled and the tree
seems a part of the rail, it is a curiosity,
and without further ado the ollering
goes into the collection,

The HoiiHe To Reconcile All
1)111 ereuceH Ah The Committee
In Divided.
Washington, Jau. S. II is probable
that the important bill repealing the ten
percent, tax on State bauk issues will be
reported from the committee on banking
and currency at an early day and per
haps during the coming week.
There is as wide difference of opinion
among the Democratic members uf the
committee as to the principle and details
ofsucli a measure, and as thtscdiiferences
can not bo well reconciled the general
desire in the committee is to report a bil'
simply repealing the tax aud then let the
House decide all differences.
The bill ol Mr. Cox of Tennessee which
is a briel repeal of State bank tax, with
out any effort in regulating future
Slate bank issues, was under considera
tion at the last meeting of the com
mittee. To some extent it is bid ling
lor favor against the bill of Mr.
Springer, chairman of the committee,
which removes the tax on certain
kinds of State bauk issues, secured by
Government, state or municipal bonds.
Mr. Springer thinks the bills do not con
Hi..! and might both be reported. It is
probable, however, that the simple repeal
bill will first be reported, and that the
Springer bill will be taken up bv the com
mittee later.

morning prints ibis letter from Attorney
General Lanrir, of Florida.
ou riqucnt that 1 give you some re
liable information upon the probability
of the Corbetl-.Mitchell prizefight taking
place in Florida.
'Gov. Mitch-11 has declared emphati
cally that l.c would use all the power at
his coalman.'. t prevent the Corbctt-
Mitchell light. As von know him, and
the 'old hickory' qualities ol the gov
enior, this declaration itself settles it
that there will be no fight unless the
prize lighters, at the last moment
evade the authorities. 1 he law in
this State is ample to prevent a
light and punish the lighters, snoiililthcv
succeed in having a "mill." The governor
is charged by the constitution with see
ing that the laws are faithfully executed
and in carrying out such command he
can use the civil and military authorities
of the State. If it becomes necissary he
will use the latter, as well as the fanner,
Hut at present 1 think he deems the civil
authorities ample to cope with prize
lighting. You may safely say that the
Coibelt-Mitchcll prize light cannot he
'pulled off' in Florida in the year 189-1
