Alexander, . surveyor general of the Hawaiian Islands under the Provisional Government, was before the sub-committee of. the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Relations to-day "and entertained the committee with a graphic description of the events of last January. He also gave an account of the events leading up to the revolution, with which he is especially familiar, having given particular attention to the history of the country. Professor Alexander was born in Hawaii, of missionary parents, and is naturally in sympathy with the Dole Government. He ha3 for many years passed been identified with the pro gressive party on the islands, and is prop erly regarded as a member of she present Government. It is neeaies3 to say mat lie defended the Dole administration and aveued that only the power which had brought this Government into existence could be depended upon to furnish .the islands with a just and efficient Govern ment. He also showed that the revolu tion of 1893 had been the natural result of longyearsof misrule and ignorance, and contended that it would be contrary to the best interests of the islands, to the teach ings of the better civilization to restore the Queen to the throne" I he fact was developed' during the hearing to-day that Professor Alexander had written the historical part of Mr. Blount "s story and had furnished hm with the histori cal basis of his report.

I He Sins the Amended Agreement Corbet; Angry at the Change as to Gloves Rumors as to Plans Of 1 the .Managers. ' Jacksonville, Fla.,' Jan 3. Charles Mitchell' signed the amended articles of agreement to day under pressure from the officials of the Duval' Athletic club, and thus relieves himself of the" charge of being a "rank quitter." The amended articles now provide that the fight shall take place in Djuval or St. John's county, the latter being the county in which Mitchell's training quarters' are located. Mitchell also insisted on a change in the clause regarding the furnishing of the gloves for the fight. The original arti cles provided for five-ounce gloves, to be furnished by Corbett. The Englishman iasisted that the clause should be changed so as to read that the gloves should be furhished by fCorbett or Mitchell." Mr. Bowden yielded this point, and the arti cles were changed accordingly. . : Manager Bowden, t)f the club, had a long conference with Mitchell at his training quarters. "'Bat" Masterson, the well-known Colorado sport, was present. Mitchell said' that hi 3 objec tion to signing tue amended articles was not because he wanted to 'crawfish,'" but due, to the fact that he was a foreigner and did not want to violate the law of the State. Mitchell further claimed to be anxious to meet Corbett at any time and place . and said that he came to America for that express pur'. pose. I When Manager . I - ?

When the champion was shown the amended articles signed by Mitchell he '"cut up rough" about the change in the jblause relating to gloves. uorDett claims mat as cnampion, ne na3 the undoubted right to furnish the gloves . and says . that Bowden has been led into a trap by Miteneu by which the latter hopes to get out of tiarhtina at the last moment bv raisins a dispute about the gloves. CorbeLt was in o rmmf Tiaaairvn n n A ' c XTfrt tl-idt. Via would nbt sign the amended articles un less it was stipulated that inl ease of dis pute each principal mightj furnish his own gloves, said gloves to weign not less than five ounces; To pacify Corbett this additional amendment was made and Mitchell, when informed of the change by wire, answered that it was satisfac tory. Corbett seems to fear some trick by which Mitchell may evade meeting him at the last moment. The ordinance passed by the city council last night opens up another re course for the club, so its members claim. The effect of the ordinance is to license' glove contests. The club pro-? poses to get a license and demand police protection from the city in the carrying ont of what it chums is a lawful pro gramme. If the county authorities in terfere ana stop tne concesp ine city wm b& sued for heavy damages for not pre venting any interference with what it licenses as lawful. ' ' Regarding the change in the articles leaving the place for the contest to be selected, the Southern Associated Press correspondent asked Manager Bowden if the desire of the club to have the privil ege of naming any place meant that the club might find it necessary to name a secret place. I "No, indeed, he replied. "iney Could not afford anything of the kind. Ic would cost them just $30,000. That is a little too much of a luxury. They are satisfied that tha charter . is lawful and propose to have the thing pub- lically." , V The club members still talk confij dently "of their ability to pull off the fight, liUt now tnev propose to uo i i the face of Governor Mitchell's oppos? tion is one of the things they are keepV ing from the public.

' it HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. The anticipation that the Tariff bill was to come up in the House to-day had the effect to draw a larger attendance on the floor than was expected. . Proceedings opened tamely enough. The call of committees for reports was unproductive of any matter of interest and when it was concluded Mr. Mc Creary, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, offered a resolution set ting aside Friday and Saturday next for the consideration of the Hawaiian matter. Pending action, Mr. Boutelle tried to call up for consideration the Hawaiian resolution introduced by him some time ago, reciting that tho privilege of the House has been infringed by the Execu tive. The resolution had been referred to the Committee on Foreign , Affairs, which reported a substitute in lieu of it and recommended that the substitue pass and that the resolution -offered by Mr' Boutelle. should lie on the table. I The House was soon iu one of the turmoils which were of such frequent oc currence prior to the Christmas holiday Mr. Boutelle endeavoring to secure im mediate consideration of his resolution. The point was made that, having ;been referred to a committee, it could nbt be called up except by a member of the Committee. . i j The Speaker ruled, however, that this being a question of privilege it could, like a contested election case, be called up by any member, unless objection were made to its consideration. Mr. McMillin objected on the ground that by special order to-day was to be given to the Tariff bill and Mr. McCreary added that the Hawaiian matter, could wait until Friday and Saturday. 1 1 The question was then put as j to whether or not the Boutelle resolution should be considered ' to day, and tlie House divided on party lines, the vote resulting ayes 57; nays, 12S. Mr; Boutelle then called for tellers, but, pending this, Mr. McCreary jde manded the yeas and nays. ) ; That many of the members I have pot yet returned to the city was made mani fested by Mr. Boutelle's successful effort lack of a voting quorum. ' On the call of yeas and nays the Deriiocrats were able to muster only 135 members, ahd, as the Republicans generally refrained from voting, the House wa3 about forty short of a quorum, and Mr. . Boutelle made the point of no quorum and Mr McMillin moved a call of the House,! on which 203 members responded, and Sir. McMillin then presented a resolution re voking all leaves ofabsence and calling on the sergeant-at-arms to notify alii ab sent members by telegraph that impor tant public business demanded J;heir presence in the House. Mr. rSouteJle called for a diytsjon on tfce adoption of the resolution whicTi resulted ayes, llvl; nays, 2a. j Mr. Boute He then demanded tellers and 69 in the affirmative' and 4 in the nega tive passed between the tellers, and -Mr. Boutelle called for the ' yeas and nays. These were ordered, and the resolution offered by Mr. McMillin was agreed to by a vote of 145 yeas and 1 nay.
