SENATORS MILLS AND HOAR
HAVE A LITTLE TILT.

His Remarks on Hawaiian Mat

- ' jeet Lesson in the
. Tariff Debate.
SENATE.
"Washington, Jan. 16. In the morn
ing business of the Senate the President's
message to Congress, transmitting the
correspondence in the Hawaiian matter,
was read by the secretary.
Senator Hoar moved that the message
and accompanying documents be printed
and referred to the Committee on For
eign Relations. : ,
Senator. Call offered a resolution sus
pending the rule as to secrecy in execu
tive session in the case of the nomination
of an internal revenue collector for the
State of Florida.
Senator Hoar suggested that the reso
lution would have to be considered in
executive session.
Senator Call said that he did not ask
for the present consideration of the reso
lution. He declined, however, to with
draw it, and thereupon, at 12:45 o'clock,
the senate went into executive session
The doors were reopened at 1 o'clock
p. ni. A resolution was Offered by Sena-I
tor Call, which went over without action
authorizing an examination into thel
condition of the civil service.
The House bill for the I establishment!
of a light and fog ' signal station nearj
Butler, Fla. , was passed. i
Senator Hoar addressed the Senate on!
liis resolution to refer the President's
Hawaiian message to the Committee on
Foreign Relations. It would be remem
bered, he said, that the President, deem
ing that it would be a shame, a foul
shame, to expose the persons who had
been engage in the establishment of the
present Government of Hawaii. to the
vengeance ofka cruel and semi-barbarous
ruler, demanded from her an undertak
ing that there should be a complete par
don and amnesty of all the persons who
were engaged in the revolution. No
body, however severe a critic of the pres-
ent administration, questioned the wis
dom and humanity of that stipulation.
When the suggestion was made to the
Queen by Mr. Willis, she was
asked to issue a proclamation of
amnesty, and she said she thought the
persons concerned ought to be beheaded,
their property confiscated and their chil
dren driven from the realm. . The Queen
had also informed Mr. Willis that she
had no constitutional or legal right to
promise amnesty. Finally, .however," a
promise of amnesty had been extorted
fjom her, and that promise was as gross
a violation of the , Hawaiflra constitution
as could be suggested or supposed. The
Queen had notified Mr. Willis of that
fact and had protested twice that she
had no legal power to do that thing.
"Mr. President,'' said Senator Hoar
with emphatic solemnity, "there is but
one point of sympathy between the pre
sent Executive of the United States and
the deposed Queen of Hawaii; and that
is a purpose on the part of each reck
lessly to disregard the Constitution of
their own country the only difference
being that the President of the United
States disregards our Constitution reck
lessly and without provocation, while
the Queen of Hawaii in this instance;
proposes to disregard it only before the
great temptation of a throne."
Senator Gray, congratulated Senator
Hoar on his tender regard for the main
tenance of the Hawaiian Constitution.
He (Gray) did not, however, know that
the President's act in insisting on a con
dition of amnesty and full pardon was
not a wise one, notwithstanding the
argument of the Senator from Massachu
setts. He (Gray) believed that the
President was right in saying that he
would exact such a condition from the
Queen before he would intervene or ex
ercise his good offices with the Pro
visional Government in her behalf, and
that the President was able, under the
powers with which he was clothed, and
that the United States were able to make
that promise good. )
Senator Hoar took exception to Sena
tor Gray's remarks, and a colloquy took
place between them as to what each of
thim had or had not said. The colloquy
drifted into raising the American nag
and the landing of American marines in
Honolulu, and in regard to tne nag sen
ator Hoar said that, as he understood it,
the flag had been hoisted, purely and
simply, as an act of courtesy on the part
of the Provisional Government.
Senator Daniel asked Senator Hoar
what ria-ht had the American Minister or
the American admiral, at anybody's invi
tation, to assume the soyereignty ot tne
islands.
Senator Hoar None at all.
After further discussion, in which
nothing interesting or important was
said, the resolution went over without
action, Senator Hoar stating that the
Senator from Illinois desired to address
the Senate upon it. I
Senator Galunerer. Kepuoiican, irom
New Hampshire, then addressed the Sen
ate on the resolution offered by him on
December 20th declaring it as the sense
of the Senate' that it is unwise to at
tempt any change in the tarirt laws dur
ing the present administration.
T The House bill to repeal tne reaerai
election laws was laid before the benate
and became the unfinished business.
The discussion was participated in by
Senators Chandler, Gray and Hoar. In
the course of Senator Hoar s remarns ne
said that hp preferred to use the word
'National"- rather than "rederal, ana
Senator Mills murmured the quotation
that: "A rose by any other name would
smell as sweep." Senator Hoar caught
up the quotation and said tnat wueiuer
the word -"National" or "Federal"
s welled equally sweet depended on the
nostrils; and that there was a ume wueu
the word ''National" did not smell sweet
in Democratic nostrils. To which Sena
tor Mills retorted there was a time wnen
to nonnip of Massachusetts were as re
bellious against the Government as the
people of iexas. .
Senator Yoorhees presented the letter
addressed to him by the Secretary of the
Treasury as to the condition of the treas
ury and asked tnat tne diu tuxumpanj -
ing the letter oe priuwsu m wu
to this there wls objection by Senator
Teller, and the letter and bill not form
ally introduced, were reierrea to me
Committee on r mance.
The discussion on the tyll to repeal tne
Federal election laws was resumed by
Senators Palmer and-Chandler.
At 5:10 o'clock the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
There was but little routine business
to be disposed of by the House to-day
and at 11:12 o'clock it went into Commit
tee of the Whole to consider the tariff
bill.
A number of amendments were offered
by Mr. Wilson, and were agreed to with
out objection. The first reduced the
tariff oh furs' from 20 per cent, ad
valorem to 10 per cent, ad valorem.
Calf skins, tanned or tanned and dressed;
dressed upper leather, including patent,
enameled and japanned leather, dressed
or undressed and finished: chamoise and
other skins, were reducedrff rom 20 per
cent, ad valorem to la per cent ad
valorem. Also bookbinders' calfskins,
I , . I I - ' " - ,.
kangaroo, sheep and goat skins, includ
ing lamb and kid skins, dressed and
finished, were reduced from 20 per cent,
ad valorem to 15 per cent, ad valorem.
In the book schedule the clause requir
ing that books entitled to free admsssion
should not have been bound within twenty
years was struck out and all hydrog
raphic charts were added to these arti
cles admitted under this schednle.
An obstacle was encountered by the
amendment proposed by Mr. Wilson
which raises the tariff on condensed- or
preserved milk from 20 per cent, ad
valorem to a specific rate of 2c per
pound.
An interesting debate followed in
which Messrs. Payne, Curtis, Northway,
Hopkins and Powers took part for the
Republicans, and opposed the imposition
of so small a tariff on condensed milk.
Spice and humor were added to the de
bate by Mr. Powers, who, leaving con
densed milk to take care of itself, drifted
into the subject of raisins. He has a
very forcible way of stating things, and,
as object lessons are the order of the day,
he produced a box of raisins grown in
his' own California district, which he put
up against Mr, Jerry Simpson's shoddy
overcoat. The gentleman from Kansas,
he said, did not know whether the over
coat was shoddy ox wool, or whether it
was American or foreign." He guaran-1
teed his raisins to be a genuine American I
product, no shoddy, but all wool and a,
yard wide. ..'',
The Republicans crowded around Mr.
Powers to sample his American product,
and for a while there was a school-boy
scrimmage for raisins, when Mr. Powers
interfered in order to save some of his
sample for the Democratic side.
The House was in a turrhoil and the
galleries were laughing at the scene
presented on the floor when Mr. Enloe
laughingly suggested that the Republi
cans were destroying the argument of
Mr. Powers.
Mr. Wilson's amendment prevailed,
despite the efforts of the Republicans to
secure a higher rate of duty. The vote
was on strictly party lines.
Mf . Wilson also amended the internal
revenue feature of the billt by defining
cigarettes as "wrapped in paper." This
was also done without objection.
A long and interesting discussion was
precipitated by the renewal of Mr. Bur
rows' effort to secure recognition to offer
an amendment. In its course Messrs.
Reed and Burrows attacked the ruling
of the chair yesterday in regard to recog
nizing the chairman of the Ways and
Means committee to offer a number of
amendments consecutively. They as
serted that there Iwas no similtude be
tween the conditions existing in the
Fifty-first Congress and in the Fifty
third. The chairnan reaffirmed the decision
which he had announced yesterday, and
as a precedent read from the journal of
the Fifty-first Congress, which showed
i that while the McKinley bill was under
discussion Mr. Keed had recognized a
; Republican to offer an amendment and
had recognized another Republican to
offer an amendment to the amendment,
and recognized another Republican to
offer a substitute to the amendment, and
then recognized another Republican to
offer an amendment to thi substitute,
and then when a Democrat (Bland)
asked for recognition, coolly told him
that no more amendments (were in or
der. Democratie laughter , in which
Mr, Reed joined. ' j
j The chairman then announced that lie
would not recognize Mr. Burrows.
Mr. Wilson was recognized and sub
mitted an amendment providing that
; the free wool schedule should not go into
effect until August 1, 1894. This short
I amendments had enough controversial
; matter in it to provoke a rattling debate,
which lasted until the hour for taking a
recess. ,
Mr. Payne, ofJNew York, offered an
amendment substituting October 1, 1898
as the date for. the free wool provision to
take enect
Mr. Wilson's Lamendment and Mr.
Payne s and. several others, a3 well as
substitutes of various kinds, were left
pending when at 5:30 o'clock the House
took a recess until 8 o'clock. !

THEIR LAST CARD.
THE DUVAL CLUB PLAY
AND ARE BEATEN.
IT
The Governor Pleaded :With in Vain
His Denunciation of the Club The
Club Driven to the Woods A
Statement from Mr. Bow
dn Citizens of Jackson- '
Hie Opposed to the
- Massing of Troops.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 16. The
Duval Athletic club has played its last
card in the contest it has been waging
with Governor Mitchell and has lost.
That card consisted of a personal appeal
by Manager Bowden to the Governor',
begging him to cease his opposition and
allow the club to pull off the Corbett
Mitchell mill publicly in Jacksonville.
But the Governor was obdurate, and told
Mr. Bowden that the fight should not
take place in Jacksonville or in Florida,
if he could help it. , The interview be
tween them took place in the Governor's
office at Tallahassee, whither Mr. Bow
den went last night. Attorney General
Lamar was present at the interview. It
is understood that Mr. Bowden's attitude
was very niuch that of a suppliant. He
ahaiost implored the Go vernor to let up.
but the Executive, far from being moved
by his humility, roundly denounced the
club people for their insolent attitude,
especially in the matter of issuing the
recent statement to the public, in which
the Governor's conduct toward the club
was characterized as "contemptible and
tyrannical." 1
At the conclusion of the interview
neither Mr. Bowden nor the Governor
was disposed to talk at any length.
Wheh asked for a statement for the
Southern Associatod Press, Mr. Bowden
replied: "You may say that the situation
is unchanged. My interview with the
Governor has resulted in nothing:. The
fight, however, will take place. I ad
vise all those who desire to witness it to
assemble in Jacksonville on or before
January 24th. - j F
When Governor Mitchell was ased for
b statement, he said: "As far as I am
concerned, the situation remains un
changed. I will not, desist in my deter
mination or in my efforts to stop the
fight
Nothing is left the club but to make
arrangements for bringing Mitchell and
Corbett together in the woods. Manager
Bowden's advice for "all the who desire
to witness the fight to assemble in Jack
sonville on or before January 24th" is re
garded here 'as ah indication that the
club people have thrown up the sponge
so far as a publiQ. fight in Jacksonville is
concerned and will now perfect plans by
which Cobett and Mitchell can meet" in
secret and without danger of inter
ference by the State authorities.
Under the amended articles the fight
is to occur either in this (Duval) county,
or in St. Johns county, in which St.
Augustine is located and also Anastasia
Island, where Charley Mitchell Is brain
ing. There was a rumor some j time ago
that the club had chosen Anasatia Island
as the scene for the mill, but if Corbett
and Mitchell meet there, trouble will
likely arise, as the Governor has warned
the St. Johns officers to be on the alert
and prevent the mill. - . r
It is also said Mr. H. M. Flagler,
the Standard Oil magnate, who is
heavily interested in railways on the
East coast of Florida, is opposed to the
contest being held in St. Johns county
or in the State of Florida. It is said that
Mr. Flagler will use all of his influence
to checkmate any movement that the
club may make to have the fighters ad
journ to the county in which his hotels
are located, for the reason that he thinks
the reputation which St. Augustine
enjoys as a quiet and . respect
able winter resort would be dam
aged for years. He does not want
it held in Florida for the reason that
the bad name which he thinks it will
give the State will injure the whole of it.
These views Mr. Flagler i has expressed to
many of his friends. That they are his
is shown by a letter written by him some
time, ago to the Governor, endorsing the
Governor's efforts to stop the fight. This
opposition of Mr. Flagler will probably
prevent the consideration of St. Johns
county as the scene for the fight, and so
the club people will have to confine
themselves to Duval county unless the
articles of agreement are again changed.
From this on, everything pertaining
to the fight will be kept a close secret by
the club, as only in that way can the
Governor be prevented from interfering,
even though Corbett and Mitchell are
brought together in the woods.
To-night Manager Bowden sent the
following telegram to the Southern As
sociated Press correspondent here:
"Tallahassee, Fla., Jan. 16th.
I "I have read a sensational article
written by a representative of Northern
and Western papers purporting to be an
interview between the, Governor and
myself. The article is purely an imagi
nary one and is calculated to bring dis
trust upon our ability to bring the Cor-
bett-Mitchell hght to a successful issue.
endeavored to dissuade mm from send-
ingit, but he.answered that was what he
was paid for" Will you send this con
tradiction over the Southern Associated
Press wires and allow me to say that I
am not discouraged, but on the contrary
encouraged from my visit here.

At a largely attended mass meeting
ere to-night, in which some of the
irominent business men in the county
took part, the following resolutions were
Padopted: - ". . i -,
v where as, it is currently reported on
the streets of the city of Jacksonville
that Hon. H. L. Mitchell, Governor, has
instructed a number of military com
panies throughout the State to repoit in
the city of Jacksonville on the 5S4th inst.,
for the purpose of- maintaining and pre
serving the peace, and
Whereas. There are no indications oi
any breach of the peace with which the
civil authorities of the city and county
are not fully able to deal, and
Whereas, We deem the massing ot .
troops in this city under the circum
stances unwarranted by law and a seri
ous reflection upon the character of our
citizens, and a serious detriment to the
business interests f the city; therefore
the citizens of Jacksonville and Duval
county in mass meeting assembled pur
suant to a call of a large numDer oi our
most eminent business men, do resolve
as follows:
First. That we earnestly protest
against the threatened massing of troops
in our city., we having ample confidence
in the civd local authorities and tneir
ability to fully preserve the peace and
maintain the dignity oi tne city anu
county. ... ,
Second, That we, maiviauany ana col
lectively, pledge ourselves' to aid the
sheriff in lawful efforts to maintain and
preserve the peace and to fully enforce
Third, That we earnestly protest
against such rumored action on the part
of the Governor and most respectfully
request that he desist therefrom and
leave the conduct and jguidance thereof
to the civil local authorities.
Fourth, That a copy of these resolu

About 4 o'clock this morning Rosa

death in her house a mile from Raleigh.
and her house robbed. The murder was
pot discovered until hours later. The

t here was a pallet on the floor on which
her niece. Mary Smith, had been asleep;
but the latter was gone. It was learned
that the niece and a negro ex-convict,
Orange Page, had been at the house
early in the night, and a little girl heard
the man say the easiest way to kill Rosa
was to strangle her while Mary robbed
the house. Some noise was heard at the
house at 4 o'clock and at 6 o'clock Page
dashed into a house halfa mile awav
where he kept' his clothes, seized them

posed to have gone to Norfolk.
Yesterday's Cotton Market,
special to uie -Messenger.
New York, Jan. 16. Liverpool ad
vices were unsatisfactory this morning,
showing diminished sales and lower
prices. This caused a lower opening
here, prices going off 3 to 6 points. A
few buying orders soon carried them up
3 points, however, but, later, a sharp loss
of six followed on Houston advices that
receipts would be 8,500 bales against
6,000 last year, and renewed weakness
cabled from Liverpool and prices down
4-64 to 5-6 ki. Still later, more positive
weakness was caused here by anticipated
heavy New Orleans receipts for to-morrow.
Considerable long cotton was sold
during the afternoon at a net decline of
7 points. The feeling at the close was
discouraged and lower prices are ex
pected abroad, as New Orleans reports
ihat Neill reiterates his estimate of
2,000,000 bales for Texas and a crop of
7,700,000. "
Hubbard, Price & Co. consider the in
creased port j movement due to large
shipments from interior towns, but the
effect has been to weaken the market
fend cause liquidation of long accounts.
The Liverpool market was affected by
reports from this side that the movement
would increase during the next fort
'uight. . '" -,;--- - '
Manchester spinners bought 10,000
bales, but the increased movement will
make them fall back and buy as little as
they can. ' V: r ;"; ", :
Advices from porte state that exporters
are alarnfied at the evidences of exhaus
tion in interior towns and are buying

creasing port receipts.
THE SUN'S COTTON REVIEW.
New York. Jan. 16. The Sun's cotton
review says: The downward movement
gathered force to-day under the impetus
ot large receipts at the ports and in
creased movement to the interior towns,
a decided decline in Liverpool, falling
quotations at the South, a reiteration by
Neill of his estimate of 7,700,000 bales,
some selling for Europe, and heavy long
liquidations for local and Southern ac
count. Prices dropped 13 to 14 points.
borne hiuropean buying and local cover
ing caused a slight rally before the close,
and the last prices were 11 to 12 points
below the closing figures of yesterday.
The New Orleans receipts to-morrow
are estimated at 12,000 bales
against 7,484 on the same day
last week, and 5,911' last year. The
trading was very heavy. The sales
were 271,400 bales. . Liverpool declined
4 to 4i points and closed easy, with spot
sales of 10,000 bales at a decline of l-16d-In
Manchester yarns and cloths were
: quiet. New Orleans declined 10
points. Spot cotton here was
lower. Sales were 202 bales for
ning. There was a decline of 1-16

spin-
to ic
at nine Southern markets and they were
dull. New Orleans sold 4,000. Receipts
at the ports were -'-29,038 bales, against
28,306 this day last week, and 23,121 last
year; thus tar this week, o,04 Daies,
against 78,410 thus far last week. Ex
ports from the ports to-day were 20,
109 bales to Great Britain, 6,123 to France
and 200 to the Continent. One firm said :
"March touched 7.98, or 32 points be
low the closing of Friday last. The de
cline has been a sentimental one, which,
after all, is the influencing feature in
speculation generally and which, as the
market improved during the past ten
days largely because of the confirmation
of a small crop by a prominent firm in
this city, these purchases were sold out
in the past three days simply because
the movement was in excess of expecta;
tions, and also because Liverpool did not
respond as that market should have done
with the encouragement given by New
York and New Orleans. -
Redwine Taken to the Penitentiary.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16. Lewis Red
wine was taken from jail to-day and
started on his way to the Columbus
Ohio, penitentiary where he is to serve
six years for embezzlement. The mar
shal tried to slip Redwine off quietly.
Redwine's lawyer did not want nim to
have an interview. To a Constitution
reporter, however, Redwine said: "I
am responsible for the defalcation in the
Gate City bank. President Hill and
Cashier McCandless knew absolutely
nothing of the shortage until I told Mr.
McCandless."
Redwine explained the apparent theft

Favorable Report pn Repealing the

ment Senator Call's Fight
for Open Executive
Sessions.
Washington, Jan. 16. Fifteen sepa
rate offers, aggregating f40,000,00Q, to
take bonds should Secretary Carlisle
issue themvhave been received at the
Treasury Department. One offer to take
a block of $25,000,000 was received from
a New York firm this morning. Another
offer to take $175 was received from a
niechanic. No preparations, however,
ate being made at the Treasury Depart
ment for an immediate bond issue. Secre
tary Carlisle will await a reasonable time
i'or Congress to act, probably until Feb
ruary 1st, before 'he proceeds independ
ently of Congress, on thej presumption
that, now as he has officially called the
attention of Congress to the urgent needs
of the treasury, it 1 will act promptly,4"
Until Congress shows that it will not
relieve the treasury, the Secretary will
not feel called upon," on his own respon
sibility, to issue bonds under the resump
tion act. . .
- The contract for the construction of
the public building at Columbus, Ga.,
was to-day awarded to Benjamin Hide,
of Chicago, at $31,190. The stone to be
used is Georgia granite, and the time in
which the building is to be built is nine
months. - '
Secretary Gresham is officially advised
that the English Government has de
clared Manchester, Eng., a port of entry,
thus enabling people in this country to
ship direct to that city. This is a result
of the recent opening of the Manchester
ship canal.
Secretary Carlisle has appointed W. H.
Low, of New York, a designer in the
bureau of engraving and printing, at a
salary of $6,000 a year. It is understood
the appointment is only for two months.
In some quarters this appointment for so
short a time, at so large a salary, is
taken as an indication that either the
Postmaster General has decided to award
the contract for printing postage stamps
to the bureau of engraving and printing
or else the bureau was preparing for a
bond issue and needed a designer for
that purpose.
The Senate went into executive session
this afternoon under somewhat peculiar
circumstances. Senator Call asked that
the nomination of a collector of internal
revenue for the district of Florida be
considered in open session and was pro
ceeding to make an explanation as to
why he made 6uch an unusual request
when he was told by Senator Hoar that
he was enroaching upon executive ses
sion matters. Other Senators enforced
the reminder and the attention of the
President pro tem, Senator Harris, being
thus called to the rule, he promptly or
dered the galleries cleared and the doors
closed. The nomination of George W.
Wilson to be collector of internal reve
nue for the district of Florida was then
.taken up and, after a short discussion,
the nomination went over without
action.. Senator Call has made a fight
for some years back against the corpora
tions which, he asserts, are controlling
affairs in his State. He accuses them of
having packed the last State convention
and nominated a ticket which, although
elected because they were Democrats.
was denounced by the people as having
been put into power- through deception
and fraud.' The beneficiaries f this State
Government are now. Senator Call told
the Senate to-day, enjoying the Federal
patronage and being given appointments.
For that reason he is opposed to Ahem,
the nominee for collector being, as he
says, one of the manipulators of that
convention. He is fighting the nomina
tion, and wanted - it considered in open
session so that everybody might know
what was done and said.
The House Committee on Pensions to
day agreed to report favorably a bill to
repeal that section of the Revised Stat
utes which prohibits the granting of
pensions to any person on account of
disabilities contracted in wars preceding
the civil war who served in the Confed
erate army during the late war. This
section was repealed in part . in the
case of Mexican veterans who served
in the Confederate army and to whom
pensions of $8 a month are given, without
regard to disability. The purpose of the
bill in question is to repeal the section
without any qualification, so that a
soldier who lost an arm or a leg in the
Mexican or the Indian wars and who
subsequently joined his fortunes with
those of the Confederacy, may be en
titled to a pension equal in amount to
that which is given to soldiers of the late
war who suffer from similar disabilities.
A Scorcher for Governor Tillman.
Charleston, S. . C, Jan. 16. Some
time ago Governor Tillman sent out a .
circular letter to the mayors of all the
cities and towns in the State, calling
their attention to the new Dispensary
law. which provides that - unless the
police of the municipalities enforce the
law against bund tigers the municipali
ties would be deprived of their share of
the revenue derived from the State bar
rooms. Answers were requested by the
15th inst.
f To-day Mayor Ficken sent the answer
of ithe Charleston, council. In his letter!
to the board of control, of which the
Governor is heady Mayor Ficken writes:
' VOur self respect compels us to state
that the inquiry made in your communi
cation is not only without precedent, but
is highly objectionable, in that it implies,
in advance of action, a doubt as to our
lovaltv to the lawB of the State which
we have solemnly sworn to obey. ' We
cannot suffer this imputation to pass
without rebuke.
"The reference to the matter of reve
nue is in the highest degree offensive to
us and must, of necessity, be so to every
self -respecting official.
The mavor concludes: "We beg to
state that the police force of Charleston
will be directed to discharge the duties
imposed upon them by the Dispensary
law. The members of the force are con
servators of the peace and it is their
duty to maintain, uphold And obey each
and every part of the statute laws of
South Carolina.
