Simpson and Bryan as Speakers. Populists Support Wilson's Bill. Washington. Jan. 15. Bondg will be usued by Secretary Carlisle. When this announcement was 6rst made a day or two ago it was thought to be merely a bluff intended to head off Mr. Bland's bill for the immediate is suing of $55,000,000 of silver certifi cates, based upop. the seigniorage of the silver bullion now .lying idle in the Treasury, a favorable report upon which has been ordered by the House Coinage committee; but it is now known that Secretary Carlisle has fully made up his mind, after consult ing with Senator Sherman and other Republican leaders, to issue bonds under the act of 1875 unless Congress shall before Feb. 1, authorize the is sue of bonds, and, judging from the opposition already shown, there is little probability of Congress doing it. The authority to issue bonds is generally believed to be good, al though it has boen seriously question ed by a few, but that it will arouse fierce opposition in the ranks of the democrats and renew the hard feeling engendered by the silver contest is certain. The lowest interest bond provided for by the act of 1875 is a thirty -year 4 per center. If President Cleveland offended Senatorial dignity oy sending the lat est Hawaiian correspondence to the House Saturday while the Senate was not in session Senatorial dignity did not say a word to indicate it while the documents were being read in the Senate today. No excitement follow ed the making public of these papers as their substance had been known for more than a week, but the details they contained have strengthened the aDti-restorationists, and, although President Cleveland is said to still cherish the hope that Congress will order the restoration of the queen, I have been unable to find either a Sen ator or Representative who believes that result to be even possible, not to say probable. Representative Mc Creary, chairman of the House com mittee on Foreign Affairs, says the matter will not be taken up in the House until after the tariff bill is dis posed of, unless there is some unex pected turn of affairs in Hawaii, and the Senate will wait for the report of the investigation now being made be fore taking it up, so that it is safe to say the flowers will be blooming be fore Congress renders its verdict. The general debate on the Wilson tariff bill is over, and only one thing was fully demonstrated the impossi bility of anybody saying anything new on the subject. The debate un der the five minute rule, which will fill in the remainder of the time until the bill is voted upon, is expected to be more exciting, if not more inter esting, than the set speeches.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1894. is just enough doubt surrounding the fate of some of the amendments that are to be offered to the bill by demo crats to create a feeling of public ex pectancy. There are several of these amendments which are said to have sufficient democratic backing to carry them through if they can get the solid republican vote, but the present un derstanding is that the republicans will not vote either way on any of the amendments! That understanding may, however, turn out to be erron eous. The commissioner of Pensions has no authority in law to suspend a pen sion. So says the decision of the court in the case of Judge Long, of Michigan, who brought suit for his restoration to the pension roll. Judge Long had already been restored to the roll under the act of Dec. 21, 1893, but the decision is nevertheless regarded as important. It was undoubtedly the fine hand of the administration that shed a new light upon Representative By num, of Indiana, by whose change of vote the majority of the House Ways and Means committee decided that the in come tax should be reported to the House in a separate bill and not be offered as an amendment to the tariff bill, and some of the anti administra tion men are charging that Indiana patronage, particularly the' postraas tership at Indianapolis which recently went to a friend of Mr. Bynum, was the illuramant used. Be that as it may, the separation of the income tax from the tariff bill leaves the hands of the administration free to fight the former and it is doing it for all it is worth, while supporting the tariff bill. If the applause given a speaker de c"des the power of a speech Repre sentatives Jerry Simpson and Bryan of Nebraska, made the most powerful speeches of the week; they certainly got more applause than any other two speakers. Mr. Simpson introduced a shoddy overcoat, after one year's wear, to illustrate his remarks on the wool schedule. He said the populists would support the Wilson bill, not be cause they approvjd it, but because they thought it an improvement of about 20 per cent on the present tariff particularly where the interest of the former are touched upon. In the Senate yesterday morning Mr, Morgan introduced a bill that is intended as a blow to trusts, monopo lies, &c. The present anti-trust law, approved July 2, 1890, consists of eight sections, to the sixth of which Mr. Morgan's bill makes the follow ing addition: "No injunction shall hereafter be granted in any suit m equity brought to restrain the infringement of any patent for an invention, when it shall appear that the patent sued upon is owned or controlled by or used in aid ot any combination in the form of a trust or otherwise, or or any conspir acy in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with for eign nations, or when it shall appear that such suit is brought by or m aid of or at the expense of such combina tion." .. THF PAST YKAR IN (MIR :o:- REVENGEFUL QUEEN. -:o:- SHE WOULD BEHEAD ALL OF THEM. Correspondence Which Passed Between Secretary Gresham and Minister Wil lis. Prorlslonal Leaders Excited. English and Japanese Cruisers. The following, be ing a portion of the correspondence passing between Secretary Gresham and Minister Wil lis with regard to the troubles in Hawaii, will be interesting reading: Minister Willis' communication No. 3, addressed to Secretary of State Gresham on November 16 last, ap. pears first in the correspondence. Af ter reciting that on November 13 he had procured a private interview with ex-Queen Liliuokalani, Minister Wil lis said: I then made known to her the Pre sident's sincere regret that, through the unauthorized intervention of the United States, she had been obliged to surrender her sovereignty, and his hope that, with her consent and co operation, any wrong done to her and her people might be redressed. To this she bowed her acknowledgments. Ithensaid to he r: "The Presi dent expects and believes that when reinstated you will show forgiveness and magnanimity; that you will wish to be the Queen of all the people, both native and foreign born; that you will make haste to secure their love and loyalty, and to establish peace, friend ship and good government." To this she made no reply. After waiting a moment, I continued: "The President not only tenders you his sympathy, but wishes to help you. Before fully making known to you his purposes, I desire to know whetlief you are willing to answer certain ques tions which it is my duty to ; ask." She answered: "I am willing.'r I then asked her: "Should you be restored to the throne would you grant full amnesty as to life and property to all those persons who have been or who are now in the Provisional Gov ernment, or who have been instru mental in the overthrow of your Government?" She hesitated a moment and then slowly and calmly answered: "There are certain laws of my Government by which I shall abide. My decision would be as the law directs, that Euch persons should be beheaded and 'their property confiscated to the Govern ment." ' I then said, repeating very distinct ly her words: "It is your feeling that these people should be beheaded and their property confiscated to the Government? She replied: "It is." I then said to her: . "Dou you fully understand the meaning of every word which you have said to me, and if so, do you still have the same opinion?" Her answer was: "1 have under stood and mean all I said; but I might leave the decision of this to my Min isters." To this I replied: "Suppose it was necessary to make a decision before you appointed any Ministers, and that BUSINESS SUCCESS. THE STYLE you were asked to issue a royal pro clamation of general amnesty.! would you do it?" She answered: "' 1 have no legal right to do that, and 1 would not do it. " Pausing a moment she continued: "These people were the cause jof the revolution and Constitution of 1837.! There will never be any peace while' they are here. They must be sent out of the country or punished and their property confiscated." Ithensaid: "I have no further communication to make to you now, and will have none until I hear from my Government, which will probably be three or four weeks." After reciting that the ex-Queen had spoken of J. O. Carter, H; A. P. Carter, Mr. Macfarlane, John; Rich ardson, Samuel Parker, Joseph Nawa hi, John E. Bush and R. VV. I Wilcox as foremost among her advisers, Mr. Willis says he had a conversation with Parker and Nawahi. From this it was plainly evident that the Queen's implied condemnation of the Consti tution of 18S7 was fully endorsed by them. j From these and other facts which have been developed, I feel satisfied, the Minister adds, that there will be a concerted movement in the event of restoration for the overthrow! of that Constitution, which would mean the overthrow of constitutional and limit ed government, and the absolute do minion of the Queen. The law re- i ferred to by the Queen is Chapter VI Section 9, of the Penal Code, j as fol lows: "Whoever shall commit the crime of treason, shall suffer jttie pun ishment of death; and all his property shall be confiscated to the 1 Govern ment.". There are, under the law, no degrees of treason. Plotting alone carries with it the death sentence. 1 need hardly add, in conclusion, that the tension of feeling is so great that the promptest action is necessary to prevent disastrous consequences. Minister Willis' next dispatch to Secretary Gresham, dated Honolulu, December 5, recites the arrival on No vember 24 of the British war ship Champion with 250 marines, to re main until the troubles in Hawaii should be terminated; then; of the Japanese cruiser Nauiwa Kan, on December 2. Next he refers to the publication of Secretary Gresham's letter in the Honolulu papers on No vember 2i, and the sensation it ere- Lated among the Provisional leaders, Who held a public meeting on the fol lowing nieht, attended by from 800 to 1600 persons. There was in the address, however, nothing of an in cendiary character. Papers with re ports of the meeting were inclosed. Then Mr. Willis says: "Yesterday (December 4) a protest against the use of force by the United States against their persons or property was presented to me by several gentle men, who, like the 146 signers, still claim allegiance to our Government. One of the gentlemen, -the secretary of the American League, claims to rep resent 150 memberso f that i body." The matter now being in the hands of Congress, the President Jwill keep that body duly advised of the situa tion. VIA RUGS AT COST. 72x30 only six sold to one customer. Gray and White Fnr Rugs $1.89.

They were taken back to Dur ham and put in jail to await the next term of court. It appeared on the preliminary trial that they, with sev eral others had planned to open a store in the country. They were to pteal the cows, sell them in Raleigh and thus get a start. Their confed erates were to operate about in the country and in town and steal what ever they could to keep their stock going.
