LYNCHERS PITY HOGG.
There is no Regret Felt for the Execution
of smith.

ARIS, TEX. Feb. 9.-The special mes
sage of Governor Hogg TO the Legislature
on lynchng was not known here until
the arrival OF the morning papers. The
first impulse and expression was iadig-
nation that the Governor should con-
tinue 10 agitate the matter, which he con-
fesscs is without remedy. but on a better
consideration this gave way to pity for
the absurdities as the people called them,
into which he had plungd. The execu-
ton OF Smith was said TO be simply de-
cree OF the higher law of the South. No
error was made, they say, and there was
no doubt OF the crime or criminal. and
the same act tomorrow would meet the
same fate. But there will be no such act
here for many days. as the arm OF the
people has been felt.

STEVENS ACTION
Generally Criticized in the House of Re-

Generally Criticized in the House of Re-
presentatives.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The news OF
the action of Minister Stevens became
subject Of general comment in the House
after the excitement of the silver vote
had died away. 1t met with the approval
Of the Republican side Of the House, and
with mixed reception on the Demo
cratic side, the prevailing sentiment on
that side. however being one OF antagO-
nism to a committal Of this Government
to annexation or 10 a Protectorate, or
TO the committal Of Congress by the
executive branch of the Government
There were some members who sharply
criticised Minister Stevens nd thought
his conduct unwarranted.
Mr.. Rayner (Md), a member Of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, introduced in
the House a resolution requesting the
Secretary of State, so far as public in
terest will allow, TO inform the House on
what authority, If any, from the State
Department the American Minister has
recognized the provisional Government of
Hawaii. and whether the Department has
in any manner authorized the Minister
to participate In behalf Of the United
States in the proceedings that eliminated
in the establishment Of the provisional
Government The resolution was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs for
consideration.
Mr. Rayner says his resolution has for
its sole object TO ascertain the authority
Of the State Department to create Pro-
tectorates without the sanction of Con-
gress.
Chairman Blount, of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, is understood TO be inclined
against annexation or a Protectorate'
but would not say much. IF Minister
Stevens" he said. had attempted 10
commit the United States by any act
done under simply his general instruc-
tions. why he is pretty lively fellow.
OF course If he has any instructions from
the President. which | am not inclined to
believe. for his action, that would put
different phase upon 1t"

TAXPAYERS TOO.
Mr. BIodgett Is Finding Many Errors in
the Taxpayers List.

The taxpayers lists are now coming in
for their examination. Chief Supervisor
Blodgett has practically fnisbe the lists
of the registry voters iuLt lie W II make
no distinction between the various
kinds Of voters. Every name on the tax
PAYERS list will be carefully examined.
and every name of man not entitled TO
~ vote Will have his name stricken of
Returns have been received from few
districts allC ldy, and the errors in the
lists are found To be very great.
In one voting district in this city twenty
names are on the tax voters list of men
who nave moved out of the city and
state. One moved out of the city in
1881. four sold their property in 1888, one
in 1887 and three within the past three
years. One voter has lived in Massachu-
sets for over ten years. Nine own no
real estate and one man Is dead.
In another district there are twenty
five names on the list Of men who are not
assessed for property. There are nine
names of men whose names appear
neither in the directory or tax list, ana
O; whom nothing is known. Three
names appear on both registry and tax
lists. Sixteen live outside the ward in
which their names are registered, three
live out out of the city ana one Is dead.
The total for this one district is there
fore ffty-four illegally registered tax

There can be no doubt Mr.. Blodgett

New Engines Being Built for the Five
Hour Run to New York.
As was stated in the News last week,
beginning in May the Consolidated road
will inaugurate an important change in
the running time of its Shore line
"hyers" between New York and Boston,
making the run in five hours instead of
six This means a radical change in the
running time of the road.
1t is now said that this time will be
even further reduced by half an hour as
soon as the double tracking on the Shore
line east of New Haven has been com
peted, W hich will be by the last of this
year.
New locomotives to provide the speed
for this more rapid travel are now In
process of construction at the Rhode
Island Locomotive works in this city.
1hey are TO have large drivers ana will
be easily capable of making sixty miles
an hour.
In order TO make the fast time proposed
il is said that some of the curves may
have to b. Strengthened.
