A NEW MUDDLE.
The McCreary Hawaiian Resolutions
Severely Criticised.
THEIR ADOPTION WOULD Be DISASTROUS
And Place the Democrats in a
Worse Position Than Ever.
THE GENERAL SENTIMENT.

The resolutions reported to the House by
Chairman McCreary as substitute for
those introduced by Messrs Hit and Bou-
telIe, with relation TO the Hawaiian mat
ter. are regarded as liable to devolve a
pretty heavy responsibility upon the demo-
Gratis If adopted, and to raise an issue be-
fore the country which it would be wise to
avoid. The opinion is widely expressed
that, If possible. Mr.. McCreary's resolutions
place the democrats in a worse condition
than they occupied before.
An Absurd Position.
In the first place, 1t is regarded as abb
surd not mentioning the unfairness of the
thing for the House to be thus called upon
TO give a verdict in a case where part OF
the testimony has, confessedly. been with
mony submitted were not one-sided and
partial in the extreme. 1t would be a curious
thing, 1t Is suggested, for the House to
give an official expression such as Mr..
McCreary proposes. while not all the facts
are known. The opinion is expressed that
the least they could do would be to go
through the form of looking into the ques-
ton a little before giving their verdict.
Wiser to Ignore the Whole Thing.
A good many democrats think II would
be wiser to ignore the matter altogether
than it would to pass resolutions censuring
the action during the Harrison administra-
tion, while ignoring that of Mr.. Cieveland's.
1t is probable that some democrat will move
to amend the resolutions when the matter
comes up so as to provide for an investiga-
ton of the whole question by joint COM
mittee OF the two houses, composed of two
senators, one OF whom shall be a repub-
hcan, and three members Of the House, one
OF whom shall be republican.
As to Commander Wiltse.
Aside from the criticism as to the manner
OF reporting the resolution and the object
of the resolution itself, to attack the Har-
rison administration and leave Mr.. Cieve-
land out, MIR. McCreary is censured for in
cluding Commander wiltse in his express
sions OF condemnation. The universal SEN
timent seems to be that there is no possible
excuse for censuring Commander Wiltse for
carrying out orders issued to him on legal
authority, and ii seems like digging into q
mans grave with pure vindictiveness.

TO kIDNAP BABY RUTH.
Evidences of a Plot Said to Have Beer
Discovered I'm kanSas.

From dispatches received today from Abb
lene. Kan, it would seem that a number of
people have combined in a plot to kidnap
the Oldest daughter Of President Cleveland.
The plan evidently was to hold the young
lady for large ransom. Letters written
from party in this city have been found
at Abilene. and two women are implicated
in the affair. From what can be gathered
the kidnapping was to take place early in
January.
The dispatches from Abilene say that two
letters were found on the street Wednes-
day and handed to the police. One was
from this city and the other from Mime
thing ready for the White House. and will
send Grover to Hades when the bugles
sound. We will also get our $4,000. We
will start for the White House now. We
have never failed in our job, and won t
now
Another letter was found within a few
days dated Topeka, December 10, which
says:
1--WE have concluded to make two jobs out
Of the White House business. We will take
the oldest child first: We can get her all
right. Mollie will get her and hand her over
is offered. 1t means thousands to us to get
this child Ruth, and we will get her, too,
IN January. Address me in Chicago. We
will go right on
Maj. Moore was shown the dispatch from
Kansas today and said that so far the
Washington police had received no informa-
ton OF any conspiracy OF the kind.

MR.. GREsHAMs REPLY
To the Frye Resolution as to the
Foreign Cable.

Foreign Cable.
In the letter from the State Department
sent to the Senate yesterday, in response
to Senator Frye's resolution concerning the
alleged issue of permit to land Bra
lillian cable on the coast of the United
States, the reply of the Secretary Of State
to the company was accidentally omitted.
The letter was sent to the Secretary Of the
Senate this morning. and will appear with
the rest of the correspondence. 1t Is in
teresting for the reason that IT takes issue
with the previous administration as to the
power conferred upon the executive depart
ment. Mr.. Gresham in his letter stated
that there is no formal legislation con-
ferring authority upon the President. to
grant the permission as named, and in the
absence of such legislation, executive ac-
ton of the character asked would he adds,
have no binding force. The Secretary then
says: Il do not feel called upon to discuss
the power Of Congress over international
cables under the commerce clause of, the
Constitution"

cable on the coast of the United States Is

ton Of Mr. Gresham. The company then
went to Congress and sought to have their
request granted. After full investigation

Mr. Gresham in which he declines to dis

a doubt as to the authority of Congress in
the premises and thereby again antagonizes
the position assumed by the republican Con-
greSSmen.

AFTER AN ANARCHIST
Mr. Joseph Don Jam Has Written Threat
ening Letters.
He Seeks the Lives of the Vice Presi-
tors Sherman and Mills.

Officers Of the secret service Of the treas
ury have invoked the aid of the municipal
police in this vicinity in the capture of a
New Jersey crank with the euphonious
name Joseph Don Jam, who has made epis-
tolary threats against the lives of Vice Pres
ident Stevenson, Secretary Carlisle and Sem
ators Sherman and Mills. He has written
them numerous letters on financial Ques-
tions. which show unmistakable evidence Of
an unbalanced mind. In his earlier commu-
nications. which began to appear during the
silver debate in the Senate, ne gave his ad-
dress as 73 Passaic street, Newark. N. j.,
but his more recent compositions have
borne different addresses.
A Threat of Violence.
The letters were well written and invaria-
bly, embodied threat of personal violence
to the recipient. No attention was paid to
them at first but finally the correspondence
caused 50 much annoyance that Secretary
Carlisle instructed Chief Drummond of the
secret service to investigate the matter 1t
was soon ascertained that Don jam was a
real person, living at the address given, and
that he was a native of Poland and an an
archist. For several days the officers at
tempted to meet him. but without success
Now in Baltimore.
All the railroad depots were watched and
the Capitol police instructed to look out for
Jam in case he should attempt any violence
in that building. As he was not heard of
again for several days it was supposed that
he had exhausted his ammunition, and
would write no more This theory proved
false, however. as the Vice President got
another letter from him yesterday, in which
he stated that he was stopping at 105 Eu-
taw street, Baltimore, but that he would
come over and see Mr.. Stevenson. He
wanted $25 and would like to talk the mat
ter over, but If the request was refused, he
would certainly kill him. This letter was at
once given over to the authorities, and a
telegram sent to the chief of police in Bal
timore. Every effort will be made to cap
ture Don Jam, with a view of putting him
where he can do no harm.

should not impose an additional tax on
