Yesterday's Cotton Market.
- fSpecial to the Messenger.
Km- V.ivk. Jan. 20. The cotton market
opened irregular and weak in tone. The
first call, though opening at an. advance of
J to 3 points, finished at a decline of from
1 to G points. Still later, there was active
liquidation, which carried prices down to a
net decline of 7 to 8 points as compared with
vesterdav's closing figures, with the market
finally easy in tone at the lowest prices of
il.odav. Although the session lasted only
two hours, owing to the Saturday half holi
i it- nf 1 7 9fl holm
.The cause of the weakness was primarily
the large movement, receipts1 running muijh
ates i and. taking the most
jiroiiouneed bear by suprise. An additional
' factor of weakness was the bearish char-
'acte.r of the English advices, tUfeinverpooi
cotton market closing at a. net -decline or
10.000 bales of spot cotton was considered
, ' for Saturday. Tne selling to-day was
ltnrwf entirely by the disappointed bulls,
who are aL'nost demoralized in the face of
the enormous receipts. The market would
have decline more i'ad it not been for the
1 ,uy ing of one prominent house, whose pur-
Hubbard, Price & Co. poiut out gome feat
tires of the statistical situation.
According to the Chronic tne iUftntity of
cotton that has come in sight, during
week has been 161.000 bales. The
the
net
amnmit now in sielit is 5.87B.000 bahis. The
duantity that came in sight during the cor
responding week of 1800 was 157,000 and the
net amount in sight January 20, ls'JO, was
about 5,900,000. Notwithstanding the largo
ni-rwiw in the amount that has come in
Aihi this "week, 'the visible -supply has in
.creased only 10,000 bales. Last year the de
crease was 2,000 bales. Since September
last the total of exports and the cotton in
process of foreign shipment has been 700,-
jiOO bales in excess of last year, lne exces
of the crop in sight is 756,000 bales, bo that
practically the interior surplus of production
over last year has been shipped out
Stocks of cotton at the United States ports
and the known interior towns are 50,000
hales less than" last year. Estimates as to
iot.il of next week's receipts at the
porta njust he the merest guess work, they
running io-day any where from 130,000 to
150.000 bales, asainst 139,l76 last week and
70.-1-14 last year.

- Washixgtom, Jan. 20. The interest felt
in Hawaiian affairs was manifested in a
striking manner this afternoon when Presi
dsnfc Cleveland's message transmitting the
latest diplomatic correspondence on the sub
ject Was laid before the House of Repre
sentatives. After the reading of the brief
message the Speaker stated that, without
objection, the message and accompanying
papers would be printetl, but immediately
Mr. Ilitt, Republican, of Illinois, requested
the reading of the communication to which
the president had referred,. which was done.
Its reading was receivea with applause on
the Republican side of the Chamber. Then
the following letters werej'read, and 1 Mr.
Willi's responses to Minister Dole met the
audible approval of the Democrats. The
House insisted on hearing all the corre
spondence read a most unusual thine
and every word was heard in the remotest
corner of Ihe hall, so absorbed was every
one in listening to the clerk as he readf.
President Cleveland's letter of transmittal
was as follows:
'To the Voityresx: "
1 transmit herewith dispatches received
yesterday from our Minister at Hawaii, with
certain correspondence which accompanied
the same, including a most extraordinary
letter, dated December 27. 1893. signed bv

of the Provisional Government, and ad

"Department of Foreign Affairs,

Sir Pending the further action of the
Government of the United States upon the
matters contained in your communication
of December 19th, and my reply to the
same, dated December 23rd, I desire to call
your execellency's most serious considera
tion to the dangerous and critical condition
of tnis community, arising, 1 must respect
fully submit, out of the attitude which you
nave assumea, ana tne language wnicn vou
have used in public, and in communications
to this (iovernment and also out of the pub
lished letter of the Secretary of State of the
United States and the President's message
on the subject of the restoration of the mon
archy.
1 do not, however, claim to intimate that
this unfortunate situation has been inten
tionally done by you or by the Government
which you represented, but arises from a
natural construction of your attitude, and
the ambiguous terms of the statements re
ferred to.
"At the time of your arrival in this coun
try, the forces of this Government were
organized, and were amoly sufficient to supr
press any internal disorder. Alter your ar
rival, you made communications regarding
your policy which were ambiguous, and for
several weeks you failed to disclose your in
tentions,! and have only partially done
so up to the present moment, leav
ing this Government to infer what
they may ultimately be, from the letter
of Mr. Greshim and the. President's message,
in which it has been declared in very dis
tinct language that the deposed Queen ought
to be restored to the throne by the Govern
ment of the United States and leaving vs,
further, to infer that this assumed obl'ea-
tion would be discharged. Your language
expressed in public, declared that -vou in
tended t6 perform some act when the proper
time arrived, without disclosing -what that
act would be. '
'Under these circumstances, there arose
at once, a general feeling- of disquiet. The
natural inference,-from your attitude, lan
guage and refusal to disclose your purpose
nd fromMr.Oresham s letter and the 1'resi
dent's message, was and is, that you in
tended to use force in maintaining
vour policv. The fact is well known
that vou, as admitted dv yourseu
in vour communication of December 10th
without the consent or Knowledge or tnis
Government, have held negotiations with
the deposed Queen for the purpose of over
throwing this ooyernment. ine apprehen

New Yoek, Jan. 20. It has been many a
week since Wall street felt as cheerful as it
did to-day. The tendency of prices were
upward, and the bulls were in control from
the opening to the close of the session. The
reaction in the final trading occasioned no
surprise, as it quite often happens that
small traders taxe prohts at the end of the
week rather than carry their contracts over
Sunday. The first thing to give an impetus
to speculation this morning was the receipt
ot higher prices from .London aud moderate
buying orders from that 'centre. The ex
ecute an of the latter developed the
fact that there were few stocks press
ing for sale in the local market.
The aid " received from the foreign
ers encouraged the bulls .to make a
more aggressive stand, and in a short time
they had" the whole list on the up tack.
There wa3 a disposition to anticipate the ef
fect of the bane statement, which proved to
be a remarkable exhibit. The increase in
cash was 13,786,900 and in surplus reserve
$10,170,775, lifting the amount-held by the
banks in excess of the 2o per cent, legal re
quirements to the unprecedented figure of
102, 754,450. The natural impression is that
before a great while this vast hoard ot ld'e
money will seek other channels for em
ployment and that the Stock Ex
change will feel the . benefit of this.
With money commanding only l per cent.
on call and 2 to 3 per cent, on time, bank
and trnst companies prefer to purchase
thoroughly good bonds which are obtain
able at figures that return 4 per cent. - and
over. Another bull argument is the start
ing up of the mills and furnaces in various
parts or the country. A lactor or consider
able importance is the improvement in the
railroad earnings. Thus far the big systems
have shown a smaller falling oit in earn
ings so far this month than was the case m
December and some smaller lineseven show
gains as compared with 1893. Net receipts
will show up much better than the gross, as
wages"are lower and the companies are
saving money in other ways. All these
matters have induced certain . operas
tors to take hold of the stock
market, and "the concensus of
opinion on the street is that a liviflier coudi
tion of affairs will prevail in te near fu
ture. In the early morning Lake Shore

J AfKsosraLE, Fla.. Jan. 20t The Duyal
Athletic club tornight furnished the follow
ing: "The Duval Athletic club "wishes to
state emphatically that the stage of doubt
is passed. The club desires to make no
more manifestos, as continual rushiDg into
print mightjaauseate the public, but it de
sires to state for the last time that the con
test will take place on January 25thr?
In spite of the above, however, trouble i

The club now finds itself f aee to face with a
kickirom "Honest" John Kelly, who .holds
the purse and will referee the fight if it is
fought.,". Kelly got here this evening and
the first word he said in relation to the fight
was that absolute police protection must be
guaranteed by the club or he would not act'
as referee. Kelly makes this , demand
because he does not want to be
put in the unpleasant position of having
to award the purse in an unfinished
fight. Kelly says that in such an event a
great howl would go up. The club would
make a big kick and every man who had
mpneyon the man whom Kelly decided
against would be heard from. Kelly pro
posed to see Corbett and Mitchell imme
diately and find out what they would de
mand in case the fight is unfinished.- Ai far
astheclubis concerned, it will guarantee
anything provided it can -get the crowd on
the scene and scoop in the cash. '
Joe Yendig stated to-night that on Tues
day he would apply to the United States
court here for an injunction to restrain the
State authorities from interfering with the
fight, yendig is a non-resident of. Florida.
If Yendig makes the application he will be
summarily sat upon. JNo United States
court is going to interfere with a Governor
who is trying to prevent what is claimed by
the Attorney General of the State to be an
infraction of the police provisions of the
State, i . -
The only obstacles in the way of the fight
now are the Governor of Florida, ."Honest"
John Kelly's demand for police protection
and the failure of the club to dispose of
enough tickets to come out about even.
Should 1 the club satisfy Kelly, succeed in
eluding; the Governor, sheriffs and State
troops, and pocket enough money from ad
missions to be financially-safe, the fight is
likely to take place. If not there will be no
fight.
The club has been badly damaged by
Governor Mitchell's attitude. In spite of its
many manifestos and defiances.the crowd is
showing up very slim. In spite of the bold
front of the club the Southern Associated
Press correspondent has inside information

pects ior a crowd.

cally declared that no seat would be sold for
ess than $25. If the crowd-does not in
crease very largely the tickets will likely be
advanced to $50; if the club cannot get in
enough money at that figure to prevent a
big deficit, u is safe to say that the sponge
will be thrown up and there will be no
fight. '
Everything lias already been arransred by
the club for the erection of the ring and the
accommouaiion or me people and, accord
ing to a Duval Athletic club official, the en
tire arena cart be finished complete within
two hours. The platform upon which the
ring will be pitched has already been coni-
Eleted and -will be of regular size. It is
nilt in sections, each numbered, and it is
the wont ot only a fewnmutes to put it to
gether. At a proper distance from the platform
will be placed a barbed wire fence, enclos
ing a number of stalwart sruards. whose
duty it will be to protect the ring from all
interference. J. he wire fence has already
been constructed in sections, the wire being
attached to posts sharpened at both I ends,
which can be driyen m thirty minutes, con
stituting a formidable barricade '
J2. very body, of course, is euessmz where
the contest will be held, but the club people
are keeping their mouths shut as to the site
selected. If the club people eer had an
ntion of bringing off the fight in Geor
gia, it is likely that they have abandoned
the idea in view of the information received
here that Governor Northen is notifying
the sheriffs of all counties adjoining the Flor
ida line to be on the alert and prevent the
mill being- fought on Georgia soil.
The betting is still slow." There seems to
be but little Mitchell money at the present
odds. Pools were sold" on the contest to
night. Seven pools in all were sold, the
Corbett end buying f 50 in each case and the
Mitchell end seesawing between 20 and
$40. Only one pool on the Englishman
brought $40, however.
To-night John E. Hartridge, who is attor
ney for the club, left for Tallahassee to see
the Uovernor. having been summoned there,
by the Executive. It is understood that the
subject of consultation will be ihe proposed

Ex-Minister Stevens Before the Senate
Committee.
Washington, Jan. 20. The witness before
the Senate committee investigating Ha
waiian relations to day was ex-Minister
Stevens, who is charged with having co
erced the Hawaiians and contributed to the
establishment of the Provisional Govern
ment by the use of United States forces.
He took the witness stand at 10:30 o'clock a.
m. and held it until 4:30 o'clock. .. He did
almost all the talking for the committee
during these six hours, and, being a man 73
years of age, it is not surprising that he
showed some - fatigue at the con
clusion of the day's work. He
announced - however that he was- pre
pared to continue longer if necessary or if
desired by the committee, searching as
were some of the questions which were pro
pounded, he maintained unruffled good
humor during the entire day. He did not
leave the committee room from the time
the examination began until it closed, but
stopped for a few mjnutes at noon to par
take of a light luncheon sent in to him from
the Senate restaurant and once or twice
fortified his nerves with a cup of coffee ob
tained from the same source, tireat pre
cautions were taken to prevent knowledge
of the character of his statements from be
coming public. -
The Income Tax Explained.
New 1 oek, Jan. 20. "There is a miscon
ception regarding the income tax," said Mr.
Tarnsey this morning. "The bill exempts
all incomes of S4.000 and less. In other
words, a man who has an annual income of
fl,000 pays no tax. A man with an annual
income of 4.xuu pays a z per cent, tax on
$100, which is the excess above $4,000. A
mpmhernr i;ontrress. tor example, is taxeu
2 per cent, on 1,000, the other ?4,000 of his
inmme beiiiE exempted by the law. It is
well that the public should understand this,
for the impression seems to be general that
where one's income exceeds 4,000, one is
taxed on the full amount, which is not
correct."

ALL QUIET AT HONOLULU.
The Situation Given in a Letter to
Secretary Herbert From Hear
Admiial Irwin in Corn
mand at Honolulu.
Washington, Jan. 20. Secretary Herbert
to-day received from Rear Admiral Irwin
the following letter: -
"Honolulu, Jan. 2, 1894,
Sik I have the honor to submit the fol
lowing report in regard to the situation
since the departure of the Corwin on the
zn ultimo: The military preparations for
defense continue to be made by the Pro
visional Government and the excitement is
unabated. The newspapers assume that I,
as the military representative of the United
States Government, intend to use force to
restore flie Queen; At the same time they
quote me as saying that I would not obey
any order which I considered unlawful; also
that the orhcers and men under my com
mand had assumed the same attitude. These
sensational reports are intended to influence
public opinion in the United States and are
entirely without foundation. Since my ar
rival, I have carefully avoided all ex
pression or opinion, except in conference
with the United States Minister and have
ordered all my command to pursue a simi
lar course. I may further - add that Mr.
Willis has never nven me the slightest hint
that there was ever any intention on the
part of the United States Government to
use force in order to restore the Queen My
own orders to preserve strict neutrality have
been implicitly obeyed.
It aas been asserted quite often that we
were prepared to land, which is true,
but our motives were intentionally miscon
strued. We were to land solely for the pur
pose of suppressing riots and to protect the
lives of tke defenceless and property. Were

their endeavor to influence public opinion
ih the United States.no uneasiness would be
felt and business would go on as usual.
do not believe that ordinary business is se
riously affected, as reported, but no new
enterprises will be undertaken until there is
some settled Government.
The commanding officers of the Jap
anese cruiser Naniwa Kan and the British
cruiser Champion called on me to arrange
for landing a force to protect the lives and
property of their countrymen in case there
should be any serious riot. They offered to
co-operate with me and to place tneir land
ing parties where, in my opinion, they
would do tne most good.
"Now, ai the general public lrriionoiuiu
is fully aware of the above fact and have no
loneer any apprehension of any riot, and.
as the persualof the President's message has
convinced everyone that no force would be
used to chanze the Government, it is crimi
nal for any one to maxe the mis-statement
referred to.
"Foreign influence, mimical to the inter
ests of the United States, is secretly at work
here, as it is wherever- we have any trade
interests, and that influence will account
for many of the mia-statements in " the
papers.

of the McKinley law for the corresponding
section of the Wilson bill, should close- in
20 minutes. It was also agreed that on next
Tuesday, after the House goes into Commit

given to a consideration of the coal schedule
and three hours to the iron ore schedule.
At 11;17 o clock the House went into Com
mittee of the' Whole.
Mr. Daniels offered an amendment to the
pending amendment striking out the clause-
referring to barley, thus putting barley on
the free list, but this proposition was
promptly voted down.
The vote was then taken on Mr. Hender
son s amendment substituting iho
sponding portion of the existing law for the
proposed agricultural schedule of the Wil
son bill, and the amendment was lost by a
yote of 63 to 116.
Messrs. McRae and Doeterv TYlAS3rt fori

to 25 per cent. The articles affected would

cords, braids and lacings, rubber cloth, cloth
finings, Italian cloth, bunting, cloaks,
jackets, ulsters and other outside garments.
Mr. Crain was given thirty minutes to
speak m favor of his amendment, and at
me uoutiasioii ox nis remarks there, was an
uproar in the Hoase and galleries, which
caused the chairman to speak sharply to the
audience fn the galleries and threatened to
have the galleries cleared. -
Mr. Simpson offered an amendment put
ting wool and manufacturers 'of wool on the
free list.
At 1:20 o'clock the committee rose and the
President's message transmitting the veto
f the New York and New Jersey Bridge
bill and the latest Hawaiian correspondence
were read. The most intense interest was
shown in the reading of the message. The
reading was interrupted at intervals by ap
plause from the Republicans or Democrats
just as the President's policy appeared to
them respectively. At the conclusion of
the reading the correspondence was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and
the House settled down again to the tariff.
After several members had taken nurf in
the debate the amendments of Mr. Simpson
and Mr. Crain were voted down.
Mr. Hitt, Republican, of Illinois, made a
strong plea against throwing away the op-
