An Extra Session Of the Senate Called for
the Fourth of March.

WASHINGTON, February a5.-The
following proclamation was issued by
President Harrison this afternoon
"WHEREAs public interests require
that the Senate should he convened
at IL O'Clock on the 4th day OF March
next, to receive such communications
as may be made by the Executive
"Now, therefore, |, Benjamin Harr
son, President of the United States,
do hereby proclaim and declare that
an extraordinary occasion requires the
Senate of the United States to convene
at the Capitol in the city of Washing
ton on the 4th day of March next, at
IL O'Clock noon, of which all persons
who shall at that time be entitled to
act as members Of that body ale here
by required to take notice.
"Given under my hand and the seal
OF the United States at Washington
this a5th day Of February, in the year
of our Lord one thousand, eight hun.
dred and ninety three, and of the In.
dependence of the United States Of
America the one hundred and seven
teenth.
"BENJ. HARRISON.
"By the President.
civilian F. WHARTON, Acting Sec.
retary of State"
This Is the usual course pursued at
the outgoing Of each administration,
to enable the Senate to "advise and
consent" to the Cabinet selected by
the incoming President. 1t is also
customary at the same session to send
in the names Of Ministers selected for
the most important foreign posts and
other leading Offices at home. Presi-
dent Cleveland's proclamation, issued
under similar conditions four years
ago, was dated February &c, and the
proclamation of to day follows that
document closely.

The Hawaiian Problem.
STRONG REASONS AGAINST ANNExA.
T!ON.

From Harper's Weekly.
TO stimulate our greed we are tod
that unless we take Hawaii, England
will take it. Nothing could be more
absurd. Our very refusal to take it
will immensely strengthen our moral
authority in objecting to anybody
else's taking it. We are told that ,ur
possession of Hawaii would give us
great commercial advantages. Grant
ed. But can We not secure those
commercial advantages by some otker
arrangements than the annexation OF
distant land and mongrel people,
which, such as they are, nobody thinks
OF receiving into the Union as self
governing State, equal 10 the other
States; which, as 4 far away depend
ency, would have to be ruled by
proconsul "a strange and dangerous
anomaly in our political sytsem, an in
exhaustible source Of tyranny, pro.
tgacy, and corruption, the beginning
of radical change in our free in.
stitution9 Would not this be paying
too high price for the possession Of
the islands? Cannot the commercial
advantages be had cheaper2 We are
told that the Hawaiian Islands would
be a splendid station tor our navy, and
give it great facilities in those i'm
portant waters. Grant ID. But is it
not worth while to consider that if we
get such outlying posts for our navy,
we must build a navy large enough to
protect the outlying posts9 and that,
while we are unassailably strong in
our continental home, every far-away
possession will be vulnerable point,
an element of weakness?

On Saturday March 4th President
Harrison and President elect Cleveland
will ride in a carriage from the White
House to the Capitol and return. On
the journey to the Capitol, Harrison
will occupy the right, and on their re-
turn the left side of the carriage.
This custom of courtesy was begun
by President Arthur when Cleveland
was inaugurated eight years ago, and
Cleveland extended the same courtesy
to Harrison in 1880. The last cx-
preston of hatred between two
presidents was that of Grant and
Johnson neither would ride with the
other. The other case of extreme dis.
like was that Of John Adams and
Thomas Jefferson in 1901. Adams
fled from the Executiv: Mansion in the
early morning train Of March 4th to
avoid extending any conrtesies to
Jefferson. In 1890 between John
Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson
there was no official courtesy shown,
although there was not the same
marked hatred as shown in the other
three instances.

The Towanda Republican, a paper

The Towanda Republican, paper
Of the strictest party sect cannot swal-
low the proceedings of the Republi-
can legislature of this State in the
Higby-Andrews contest case. 1t says:
"rhe committee in the contested cleo
ton case of Highly VS.. Andrews, is ap.
parantly unnecessarily prolonging the
investigation. The case should have
been determined promptly upon prin-
ciples of justice, instead of delaying it
on an apparant design of finding a
technical pretext Tor doing injustice
to Mr.. Higby and giving the seat to
Mr. Andrews to which he was not
elected. The Republican majority of
the House at Harrisburg will jeopar-
die party success in the next falls
State election if they shut their eyes
to the fact that the party rank and file
of the State will not condone their
submission to the Vaccinations of the
machine politicians who stand around
the ex- chairman who led the party to
humilating defeat in the Delamater
campaign. Justice is on the side of
Mr.. Highly, and there should be no
aesit alton in awarding it without de.
lay, and yet Mr.. Andrews is technical
y occupying the seat that belongs of
light to Mr. Higby."- Wyoming
