The House Foreign Commit
tee Pays Its Respects.
The Secretary is Mute ON the
Chilean Question.
He Urges the Necessity of Action on
the Nicaragua Canal.
1t Would b Handy In Case OF Bostilities

Associated Press DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. - Pursuant to
the old established custom, five members
of the house committee on foreign af-
fairs called at the department of state
and paid their respects to Secretary
Blaine today. 1t was expected
that the secretary would touch
upon the strained relations between
this country and Chile. but no
direct allusion was made to the matter.
He did call the attention of the commit
tee to the necessity for speedy action by
congress upon the Nicaragua canal
project. Very fluently he described the
political Importance OF the canal, and
the advantages to accrue from the re-
tention of its management and control
in American hands. Incidentally it was
made clear to the committee that the
possession of such waterway between
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans would be
of enormous advantage should it be
necessary to transfer our naval vessels
from one side of the country to the
other.
1t cannot be learned if any commune
cation passed this morning between the
state department and Minister Egan,
nor was the Chilean minister at the
department.
Several senators and representatives
called upon Secretary Blaine in the
forenoon. One of the former said he
heard nothing directly from the secre-
tary relating to Chile, but he did know
that this country should now assert its
dignity and spank the bumptious little
South American republic.
CHILE's PREPARATION FOR WAR.
1t is reported that the preparations OF
the Chilean government for war, though
lacking official confirmation in all de-
tails, yet are viewed with deep concern
at the navy department. 1t is thought
that the dispatching of feet of three
cruisers and a torpedo boat from Val
paraiso under sealed orders, which was
reported from Chile through private
sources yesterday. is thought to be for
the purpose of guarding the straits of
Magellan, which are regarded to GER
tain extent as the gateway to Chile. A
comparatively small number of we'll
armed vessels, advsntageously placed
in the straits, could, in the opinion OF
naval experts, hold that important pas
sage against large feet. To be sure
this would not necessarily pre-.
vent the ultimate rounding of Cape
Horn by an American squadron bound TO!
Chile, as two days steaming would al
most carry the ships into the Pacific b,
the outside route. The theory is, how

during and subsequent to the elections
OF senators.
Powers OF Vermont asked if popular
elections might not result in sending
less able men to the senate.
Enloe said it might possibly occur oc
casionally, as it did in all public cleo
tions that men of inferior capacity
might be chosen to the senate, but the
country would suffer less to have fool
in the senate six years, than a corrupt
scoundrel.
Bryan's amendment proposes that
senators be elected by direct vote, only
in such states as through their proper
legislative machinery decide to elect
their senators in this manner,
while Enloe and Johnson propose
that the new method be compulsory to
all the states.
johnson stated that he was the Re-
publican caucus nominee Tor United
States senator at the last senatorial elec-
ton in his state, but was defeated by
corrupt combination. He was ap-
preached by an attorney for railway
corporation, and told that to make his
election certain twas necessary that he
give an assurance that he would favor
certain man as Judge for that district.
The attorney said the railroad bad Sc
cured the election of seven members of
the legislature and controlled their
votes. johnson said he did not con-
slider it honorable to enter into bar
gain of that sort, and declined to give
the assurance asked, and the result was
that he was defeated yet at that time
he was the acknowledged choice of the
people of his state for United States
senator, as we'll as the choice of his
party, and would have been elected but
for the peoples will being thwarted by
corrupt corporate influences.
The committee adjourned until next

Grafton, having in view the checking OF

is the adoption of the Reed rule, con-

There will be some definition of dilatory

A LAUDABLE MEASURE.
A Bill to Stop Uncle Sam From Com
peting With Printers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Representa-
tive Scott of Illinois has introduced a
bill prohibiting the postofice depart
ment from selling stamped envelopes
bearing the usual printed request for re-
turn to the owner after limited period.
"Under the present law" said Scott,
"the government is direct competitor
with every printing house in the coun-
try. 1t is an unwarranted trespass on
the private business of every printer in
the United States. Many millions OF
dollars are taken from the printing
business. This does not seem fair or
just. The government should take it's
hands off, and not oppress one of the
greatest and most important industries
of our country"

part of the group, and are the only
papers that do this to the same
extent.
From small beginnings the BUSH
ness of the Gazette Company has
grown to large proportions, giving
steady employment to an average of
about forty persons, nearly all
of whom are natives of the King
dom, and consequently identified
with the prosperity and growth of
the business they are engaged in.
AS an illustration of the purpose
of the proprietors to keep up with
the times, may be instanced the
introduction of electricity for
power and light. All the press
work in the establishment is now
executed by electricity, and fire.
quently six or eight presses are
running at once by electricity
alone. While it costs more than
steam, it insures the execution of
better work, with less risk of fire.
The finest presswork can now be
done in this Office, and in any
amount required by our patrons,
and at the shortest notice.

PRINTING IN HONOLULU.
The Pioneer Newspapers of
Hawaii.

Twenty-seven years ago to-day,
January 10, 1865, the first number
Of the HAWAIIAN GAZETTE was
issued by the Hawaiian Govern
ment. The old Polynesian, which
was also a government paper, had
been discontinued some years pre-
viously; having become so effete
and newsless that the public re-
fused to take it, and its discontinue
ance became necessity.
The GAZETTE was first edited by
DR.. J. Mott-Smith, and from the
start became q favorite, though it
had for it's rival the COMMERCIAL
ADVERTISER, which was established
In 1856 by the present manager of
these two papers, who having dis
posed of the ADVERTISER, took
charge of the GAZETTE in 1873, and
conducted it for a number of years.
Both have always been liberal and
popular papers with subscribers,
many of whom have taken them
from the dates of first issue.
Since these two papers - the
DAILY ADVERTISER and the HA-
wAnAN GAZETTE - became the
property of the company now
owning and publishing them,
their patronage and popularity
have very largely increased, and
they stand at the present time as
the leading journals of the king
dom, and we'll deserve the favor
they receive.
Besides the above newspapers,
the Gazette Company print three
papers in the Hawaiian language
the Kuokoa and Paeaina combined
and the Daily and Weekly Holo-
mua, the latter published and
edited by Jno. NJ. Poepoe.
These two English and three
Hawaiian papers enjoy large and
constantly increasing patronage,
the present circulation each week
amounting to over 10000 copies,
requiring weekly supply of about
forty reams of paper, or say 1000
reams annually.
The native Hawaiian newspaper
Kuokoa has circulation of about
$500 copies each week, and Is the
Oldest native paper in existence
here, having been started in 1862
by the present manager of the Ga.
zette Company. AS advertising
mediums all these newspapers fur
nish superior advantages to their
patrons, as they circulate in every
