The Augusta Ole Journal saYs that a
popular young man of that city, who until
recently has resided beneath bic fathers
roof-tree, married a few weeks since and
leased apartments in another part of the
city. The other evening after completing
his days work, he lett the office, went up
street and purchased his Boston papers,
and then climbed the hill TO his fathers
house. Entering lite familiar precincts he
marched TO the wash-rOom, made his tot

London, Feb, 17.-Yesterday's draw
ing room at Buckingham palace was
chiefly remarkable for the unusual
number of troops and police, and an
immense turnout of spectators in the
street and park. Nobody believes the
queen to be in personal danger from an
Irish plot, but the precautions were
taken exactly as if an attempt were
expected.
All London, for some hours on
Thursday, believed that the accident to
the queens outrider had befallen her
majesty herself, and wild rumors of an
Irish outbreak were spread abroad.
Precautions continue to be used to in
sure the safety If Gladstone, Foster, sir

San Francisco, Feb. 1S.-The Port
Townsend steamer Eureka has arrived
from Sitka. The U. S. hospital there
is occupied as an Industrial school and
missionary house for Indian boys was
burned on the 24th ult.
Since the departure of the Wachu-
sets, dives, dance houses and grog
shops have been opened at Sitka. Hoe
chenoo is manufactured about at all
hours. The parties engaged in this
business are mostly Russian half breeds
and aliens. They are under surveil-
lance, and on the return of Wachusetts
they will be arrested and sent to Port
land for trial. The winter has been
unusually severe.

San Francisco, Feb. 1S-The Alta
publishes a correspondence to the fol-
lowing effect, in reply to a letter from
the chamber of commerce at Honolulu,
to W. l.. Green minister of foreign
affairs, calling his attention to the at
lacks of certain American journals,
charging that kingdom with a slave
labor system, and the merchants with
violation of the reciprocity treaty,
which are denied by the chamber, and
suggesting an investigation by the
United States officials, appointed by
the president or specially appointed,
and pledging the chamber 10 give every
facility for such investigation.
Green in reply, says the injustice and
extravaganza of the charges are so no.
torious as to hardly merit contradict

every facility for investigation, and
will SO instruct its minister at Wash.
ington, though it cannot of course rec
ognize officially any foreign official in
yestigation of domestic affairs.
Also a letter from Green to Comfy,
United States minister, asking his opin-
ion as to whether foreign sugars have
been imported into the island and then
shipped to the United States rs Sand
witch islands sugar.
Conley replies, stating that his belief
is that no such infraction of the treaty
has occurred, and giving the re asons at
length for his belief.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The Graphic
has the following from Washington on
the Hawaiian sugar question: A de-
termined onslaught is being made
against the Hawaiian treaty. Louisi-
ana sugar planters have interested
the representatives to a man, democrat
and republican, in behalf of a move
ment to terminate the treaty. Demo.
critic members are found arguing with
the foreign affairs committee against
free sugar, and as urgent for tariff as
ever Judge Kelly was known to te in
the height of the campaign.
1t is alleged that the avengers are
opposed to the treaty because they nat
urally desire the removal of competi-
ton in the business of sugar refining.
1t is said, indeed, that they are at the
bottom of the agitation in the east.
Parties who are opposed to a continu-
ance to the treaty are having a series of
hearings before the committee on for
eign affairs.
HN AIS w N'AD BDhNAh
ment is making a vast array of statis-
tics representing that this government
is losing a large amount on custome
every year; that more sugar is being
imported from Hawaii under the treaty
than the island could possibly produce,
and that substantial injury is being
done to American industries.
1t is alleged that fully three-fourths
of the sugar imported free is fraud. 1t
is charged hat the m%onopolists of the
Sandwich Island plantations have made
a combination with the Pacific roads to
put freights through; aud that the peo-
pie have no benefits of cheap sugar, but
they are usually obliged to pay two
cents more than New Workers.
1t is also claimed that the treaty has
encouraged cooley. slavery, of the most
degraded type, and that the islands do
not trade with this country except to
sell their sugar and rice.

New York, Feb. 19.-The Graphic's
Washington correspondent says: The
full text of the a~nti-polygauy bill as
passed by the senate, seems to meet
the approval of those best acquainted
with the wants of Utah. Campbell says
that it is satisfactory as far as it goes.
Judge Mcbride, Campbell's counsel
in the contest case, stated this morning:
''It is not all we want, but 1t is a de-
cided step in advance and will I'M
doubleday be followed by further legis-
ton"
1t is understood that Senator Ed
munds has asked Campbell and Nc
Bride to indicate such of the existing
mormon laws of Utah as they deem
should be repealed by congress, and to
suggest what further legislation is
needful in order to put the government
of the territory on a civilized basis.
Edmunds is particularly anxious for
some action which will take public
schools out of mormon control.
The judiciary committee of the house
is following faithfully in the work of
the like committee of the senate on the
Utah question, and is giving the matter
earnest attention. They yesterday gave
an extended hearing to Z. II. Gurley
and L. Kelley, representatives OF the
Josephites or anti-polygamists. They
strongly commended that polygamy was
a crime and not religion and it was
condemned by the book of mormon
itself. They concluded their argu-
ment in these words: 'In dealing with
the question or in the passage Of laws
by which polygamy shall be exterpated,
and priestly dominance and power be
subjected to the laws of the land, we
have seen no rites of a religious wor-
ship being interfered with, but the
simple prohibition of corrupt and prac-
tees, and, we in conclusion, submit
that where such things are tolerated
there can be no true homes, and there
can be no true government" :
By a question of the committee, Nc
Bride followed with a lucid statement
OF the evils of the existing laws of Utah
and IN argument in favor of the adop-
ton of a bill to create legislative cOun-
Gil as the only thorough remedy.

New York, Feb. 19.-Shepherd is in
the city to-day, and an attempt vas
made by your correspondent to inter
view him on the Peruvian company
question, but without much effect, for
to all enquiries on the subject he re-
ferred the reporter to Blaine and Hurl-
sut for explanation of the dispatches
which were published as passing be-
tween them. Collector Robertson was
also approached, but declined to say
any, as he did not wish to be dragged
into the controversy. General Grant
also declined to talk with any member
Of the press on the subject.

CONGRESSIONAL.
HOUSE.


Washington, Feb. 1S-The bill to
promote the efficiency of the life saving
service was reported, and the house
went into committee of the whole on
the immediate deficiency bill, which
appropriates 1892, 983.
The item of deficiency flor public
printing gave rise to debate, during
which Atkins stated that the great cost
of the public printing was in a great
measure due to the extravaganza of the
committee on printing Of the last con-
gress.
This brought Singleton to his feet, in
defense of that committee, of which re
was then chairman.
Quite an interesting discussion arose
upon the silver question. Hewitt made
a yigororous attack upon the standard
silver dollar, characterizing it in its
worst, most repulsive and Objectionable
sense, and asserting that it rendered all
commercial transactions cheating trans
actions.
Stevens and Marsh defended the sill
yer dollar, declaring that 1t was a true
unit of value, and characterized the act
OF 10 as an act passed for the purpose
of demoralizing silver. Marsh declared
that the cry that the silver dollar was
fraudulent, was false in fact and untrue
in principle.
Luckner also defended the standard
dollar.
After other discussions on various
items in the bill the committee arose
and reported lie to the house, and the
bill was passed. Yeas los, nays 20.

Ulvalde, Tex, Feb. 1s-Last night a
party of desperadoes, headed by VIM.
Moore, visited the residence of Sheriff
Robb and sought to murder him. Robb
fought them killing Walter Crane. A
number of citizens came to the rescue,
and the desperadoes were cleaned ont.
Two deputy sheriffs started to a Mex
lean ranch, twenty miles east of San
Antonio, yesterday, to arrest Juan Gar
cha, a noted desperate and horse thief.
Garcia opened fire with a Winchester
rifle, wounding Deputy Sheriff Stevens.
The fire was returned and Garcia was
killed
