TO COIN SILVER.
Senator Voorhees, Introduces a Bill
to Coin Two Million Seignorage
q Month.
When the S~eignOrage Is All Coined a
Similar Amount Shall Be Pur-
chased Monthly.
Democrats Decide to Dispose of Terri
tOrial Admission Bills Before
Tackling the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Voor.
hees, chairman Of the finance committee,
has introduced a bill for the coinage Of
seignorage on the treasury stock of sill
yer, at the rate of g., 1000, 900 a month.
After this seignorage fund is all coined,
monthly silver purchases are to be re.
sumed sufficient to coin 81, 0OO, 900 a
month. Provisions are made for the
appointment of commissioners to an
other international monetary confer
ence. The bill was referred to the
finance committee.
The federal elections bill was placed
on the calendar. A joint resolution re-
lieving the employees who were injured
In the Ford theater disaster in the Dis
trict of Columbia from the operation of
the law restricting the amount of sick
leave with pay that may be granted by
heads of department was reported and
passed. On motion of Mr.. Cameron it
was agreed that when the senate ad-
journed it will be until Monday next.
House bill to provide for two addi-
tional associate justices of the supreme
court of Oklahoma territory was re-
ported with amendments, and as
amended passed. A conference with
the house committee was asked on the
amendments. Messrs. Villas of Wis
%consin, Lindsay of Kentucky, and Plat
were appointed conferees Oh the part of
the senate.
Neither Side Pleased.
The anti-silver mel do not like the
feature of the bill providing for the coin
age of ~seignorage because they say that
the coinage of this portion of the silver
bullion would weaken the security of
the notes outstanding against that bull
ion as an entirety. On the other hand,
the extreme silver men are not pleased
with the bill as a whole. Senator Stew
art, in speaking of it, denounced it as a
''sham and Il fraud

Commissioner Of Pensions Lochren
has appeared before the committee and
urged an appropriation of $500, 900 for
special agents and examiners to inyesti-
gate pension frauds.
The public printer has sent in a reoui-
sition for 5000, 900 for the deficiency of
the government printing office.

together with an indefinite appropriation
for fines, penalties, etc., which NAV
accrue to collectors. This has amounted
to 81 300, 600 or So, 600, 900. but in recent
years it has been cut down to less than
81 200, 900. While this indefinite appro-
priation has been cut down it has been
necessary for congress to appropriate
from $4,000 900 to So, 900, 900 for def
ciencies. If the present amount asked
for is not appropriated the treasury de-
partment will be obliged to curtail its
customs service, as the department is
not willing to create any deficiency.
Another item asked is 500 for the
transportation of silver coin.
For Special Agents.
The commissioner of the general land
Office asked $50, 900 for special agents.
This appropriation asks $50, 900 for con-
tingent expenses. The last congress ap-
propriated $500, 900 for registers and re-
ceivers and provided that enough land
offices should be consolidated to make
this amount sufficient, but the offices
have not been consolidated. and if the
$4,000 is now appropriated it will be
tantamount to changing the law, so As
to increase the last appropriation to
$4,000. 1t is anticipated that appro-
priation for clerks for the senate during
the recess of congress in 1890, will be
attached to this urgent deficiency bill,
in the extra session of congress. and that

Mexico will make particularly fine
display in the departments of mines
and mining and manufactures. There
will be no display from that country in
the live stock pavilion or in the cleo
tricity department. In the mining de-
partment silver and copper ores will
be artistically shown, and in the
Manufactures building large space
will be devoted to an exhibit of art
feathe r work, decorations in onyx and
marble, and articles manufactured
from clay, for which the Mexicans are
famous. The Mexican Central railway
is preparing to make an extensive dis
play in the Transportation building,
and the exhibit of tobacco, sugar and
coffee in the agricultural department
will compare favorably with any
shown here.

AMERICANS TO THE FRONT.
Exhibits of Domestic Manufactures Arriv-

Exhibits of Domestic Manufactures Arriv-
ing in Great Quantities at the Park.
American exhibits are now coming in
with n rush. Heretofore the hulk Of
the exhibits received has been from
foreign countries, but for the past two
days American manufacturers have
outstripped all competition in landing
goods at Jackson park. This argues
well for the American section of the
fair, which has heretofore been some-
what backward in the comparative
number of exhibits received. Secre-
tary Hurst, of the installation depart
ment, reported that larger quantity of
domestic exhibits had been received in
the last eight hours than during any
similar period since exhibits began to
arrive.
In connection with the foreign eXhib-
its have come many letters recommend
ing the appointment of foreign experts
as members of the juries of awards
The men recommended are eminent in
their respective lines, and have in
many cases held similar positions in
former international expositions. In
making the recommendations worlds
fair commissioners abroad have gen
orally confined themselves to staple
manufactures, in which departments
some strong men have been indorscd
as jurors.
Midway between the foreign and
American exhibits now arriving could
be classed the vessel load of exhibits
from Liberia. That country is a foster
child of the United States, and the dis
play which has arrived in Philadelphia
will do the African republic great
credit The industrial and agricultural
resources of Liberia are fully repre-
sented, and the entertaining exhibit
will arrive in Chicago in few days.

HOW TO PRONOUNCE HAWAII.
"Ha-vah-ee" IL Correct Acc ording to u
High Native Authority.

"Ha-vah-ee" IL Correct According to u
High Native Authority.
How do you pronounce the name of
the island kingdom which wants to be
annexed to the United States?" is a
question frequently propounded and
variously answered nowadays. The
most commonly accepted pronuncia-
tion, and the one authorized by Lippin-
colts, Worcester's, Websters and the
Century's dictionaries is, for the name
of the principal island of the group.
''Hah-wi-e." the second syllable ac-
cented, and the ~" pronounced as in
pine" The same question was once
asked by New York man of high
cast Hawaiian lady, we'll educated in her
own and the English language. She
answered.:
THE proper pronunciation is Hah-
vah-e-e. There is no w in our alpha
bet, and no letter nor combination of
letters which take the sound of W. as
in English. The missionaries who
first translated our language found it
difficult to pronounce or express the
sound, which is to my ear, correctly
conveyed by the letter W softened
and made full. Our "a" is pronounced
broad, as you pronounce it in fall and
our II is like the English e. The rule
is to pronounce every vowel, and as the
exception to the rule does not affect the
double i in Hawaii, you will see that
the word is 'Hah-vah-e-e.'
These are the twelve letters in the
Hawaiian language. with their pronun-
citation: A (ah), (a), (e), (oh),
(oo), h (hay), k (kay), ! Qah), m (moo).
n (noo), p (pay), (vay) There is no
sound of 'i' as in the English language.
except where ''ai" follows "w," or as
the Hawaiian lady would insist, ''v,"
There is great difference in the lam
guage as spoken by the high and low
caste of Hawaiians The low caste
speak with a succession of explosive,
staccato gutturals the high caste with
a liquid flow that makes it beautiful
language. The instance upon the ''v''
instead of the ''w" sound is considered,
even by some of the we'll educated and
all of the uneducated, as something Of
an affectation, and one hears "Hah-
vah-e-e" on the island instead "Hah-
wah-e," about rs often as ''vahse" in
stead of vase" in American society
