a WILD SCENE.

A Turbulent Session of the National
House of Representatives - Mr.. Cock
rams and Mr.. Boutellcs Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The follow
ing is brief account of the exciting
scenes in the house on the 10th:
Immediately after the reading OF the Journal
Mr.. Cochran dem, n. " offered his resoli.
ton 10 appoint special committee of seven 10
investigate the alleged attempt of the last al.
mlnistrat tion 10 annex territory TO the United
States without consulting the house OF repre-.
sen tatives and TO inquire into the rights of the
house In the premises The resolution had 10
sooner been read than dozen men on each
side of the house rushed toward the bar OF the
house crying for recognition
III the meantime Mr.. Boutelle (rep Me- at
tempted tC offer his resolution declaring that
the prerogatives OF congress had been invaded
by the policy OF the administration and declar
ing that policy inconsistent with the spirit Of
the constitution and the traditions OF the re-
public
Amid great confusion the speaker finally
ruled thai under the rules MIR. Cockran's reso
luton would so 10 the committee rules
without u motion, ana the resolution was re-
ferred.
Mr.. Boutee finally got the floor TO discuss
the question as to whether mis- resolution WAS
privileged. "The message OF the president"
he said, Indicates that this country may be
involved in war with friendly power.
For all We know the arms OF the United
States may be even now pinioning with
their bayonets friendly nation with
whom the mass OF the people OF
this country sympathize." He said 1t was
the imperative duty OF congress, reluctantly
recognized by the president, to disavow. dis
credit and reprobate policy designed to bring
the country into discredit in the eyes of the
civilized world Il care not whence this policy
emanates," continued Mr.. Boutelle whether
from renegade republican or u democra tic
usurper"
The confusion that followed the word
''usurper" drowned the rest OF the sentence.
He continued TO talk amid loud cries for order,
and the speaker at last with the aid OF his
gavel, brought the house to Il standstill. Before
The gentleman from Maine had fairly launched
his next philippe Speaker Crisp suddenly
| swept the ground from under him by deciding
| that the resolution should be referred directly
TO the committee on foreign affairs.
| Mr.. Boutelle and Mr.. Dingley (rep., Me) then
| attempted to argue the question relating to the
obdurate Amid great excitement he ordered
all gentlemen to take their seats, declaring
| he would hear no gentleman until
| he had formally discharged his duty
| by decision upon the point OF issue. The
| speaker then delivered his decision in calm,
! quiet tone though he WAS evidently luboring
| under the general excitement prevalent in the
| house. and referred the resolution to the com
mittee or foreign affairs. Mr. Boutelle imme
| diutely appealed from the decision of the chail
and Mr., McCreary moved TO lay the appeal OF
the table This motion prevailed-lsJ to SO.

Benatcrinl Investigation of tho Hawaiian
AFFAIR Begun--Tho Whole Matter to be
Thoroughly sifted.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.--Rhe senate
committee on foreign relations will be-
gin its work of investigating the Ha-
waiian question to-day, under the
terms of the resolution introduced by
Senator Morgan. The investigation
will be conducted by subcommittee
consisting of Senators Morgan, Gray,
Butler, Sherman and Frye, and will be
held behind closed doors in accordance
with the custom of this committee. 1t
is not improbable, as one member of
the committee said yesterday, that the
administration may be severely criti-
cised and some severe reflections may
be made upon the character of the de-
posed queen of Hawaii, while of course
on the other side there may be asper-
sions against the leaders of the provis-
ional government. In order to get at
the facts without making public the
personalities that may crop out the
committee will refuse to permit access
to its rooms while the investigation is
going on.

character. The sergeant-at-arms of
the senate has been notified to be in
readiness to wait upon the committee
and issue such summons as it may di-
rect, but there is no Likelihood of any
witnesses being called at this sitting.
1t is not improbable that before the in
vestigation is concluded Commissioner
Blount, eX-Alinister Stevens, Minister
Willis certain army and navy officers
and such llawaiians as are in the city,
will be called before the committee.
The committee will put forth its best
endeavors to get at the obtainable in
formation and base its findings upon
sound evidence as to the condition of
affairs on the islands both before and
after the establishment of the provis-
ional government. 1t is thought that
two months will be consumed in the
inquiry

ANARCHIST THREATS.
Many Public Buildings In Paris in 'Dnne'
OF Destruction are Strongly Guarded.

Many Public Buildings In Paris in Danger
OF Destruction are Strongly Guarded.
PARIS, Dec. 37.-Written threats to
destroy various public buildings in this
city and elsewhere continue to be made
ostensibly by anarchists. The latest
buildings threatened are the stations
of the Eastern railway. Every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent the
threats being put into execution.
Among the measures adopted is an ex-
animation of the luggage of passen-
gers, it being feared that the anar-
chists will attempt to smuggle trunk
or valise containing an internal ma
chine into the stations
The officials of the company at Pan
tin, three and half miles northeast of
Paris, have taken stringent precautions
to guard the station there. Pantin is
a manufacturing town and it is sup
posed that some of the anarchist work
men there are the authors of the threat
ening letters received.

AN EXTRA SESSION.
Gov. waito Calls Colorados LeglsIaturo
Together.

Together.
DENVER. Col, Dec. 27.-Gov. Waite
has issued call convenlng the legis-
lature in extraordinary session January
10. The call is characteristic of the
governor. He claims that this session
will give the legislature the best
opportunity it ever had to do
something for Colorado. This ac-
ton on the part of Gov. Waite
has been opposed by the business men
of Denver and the state ever since it
was first suggested. Mass-rneetings
were held in this city and at various
towns and cities in the state, at which
strong resolutions were passed against
the proposed action, and commit
tees of prominent men have daily Wis
tied the governors Office to pro-
test against an extra session. The
movement was strongly opposed in
Gov. Waite's home town, Aspen, but to
all appeals made the governor has
given unsatisfactory answers and mas
Indicated all along that he would con-
vene the legislature. His action lacks
the unanimous approval of his own
party-the populist.
The call consists of about 5000 words
and mentions over thirty subjects on
which Legislative action should be
taken, in the governors opinion. The
governor justities his proclamation by
declaring:
''Ihe mining interests OF the state have been
unjustly and unconstitutionallya attacked by con-
gress and the present administration. The
panic has SO reduced values and increased bur-
1ppa anf tay hat iprif left frt,ff
ers and stock raisers obliged to sell their
products below cost OF producing them, and the
extraordinary remedies now granted to credit
ors in Colorado should be repealed. Appealing
to Almighty God for the rectitude of my inten-
ton and willingness to assume the entire re.
sponsibility OF tho act, do issue this my proc
lRmation"
The first business of the legislature
suggested in the call is to provide that
containing not less than 371 Il grains OF
fine silver, shall be legal tender for all
debts collecta bic in Colorado
The governor also suggests the pas
sage of an act forbidding the making
of trust deeds, mortgages or obliga'
tions of any kind payable in gold; laws
| providing for the issuance of certiti
Gates of small denominations in pay
ment for work on state canals, sale
certificates to be receivable for water
carriage and leasing or purchase
of internal improvement lands; re
peal of all laws authorizing the issu
ance of municipal bonds and the enact
ment of law to provide for the issu
ance of certificates of small denomina'
tions in payment for work on public
improvements. The governor also sug
gests many subjects of legislation af
fecting various local interests in the
state.

TREASURY BALANCE.
Prospect That 1t VIII Reach the Lowest
Figure Ever Known This Week.


Figure Ever Known This Week.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The prospects
are that during the present week the
available cash balance of the treasury
will reach figure lower than has ever
been recorded in its history. At the
close of business Saturday the balance,
as stated on the books of the treasury,
was 800, 4S7, ,26s, and it is generally ex-
pected that it will fall below the $780,
900, 900 during this week. The total
balance December l was sos, 199,616,
showing reduction during the month
of s4,Tl2,34S.
The loss, however, has fallen more
largely upon the currency balance than
upon the gold reserve, The marked
excess of expenditures over receipts, it
is now believed, will show deficiency
in the revenues at the close OF the cal
endar year of approximately SS7 O0o,-

When asked if he included Judge
Gresham in this estimate of the Cabinet
he said:
"Most certainly do. A good many
men outside of the Democratic party
contributed very largely to the great
Democratic victory last fall. Judge
Gresham did some good work for the
Democraticee national ticket, and is
eminently fitted for the position to
which he has been chosen. A new re-
