DoLPa IS A DoUBTER.
He Doesn't Believe That the Presidents
Position Is Correct

Washington, Nov. 16.-Upon being
asked by an Associated Press reporter
for his opinion upon the attitude of
the present administration towards
Hawaii, Senator Dolph said he did not
wish to be shown as criticising the ad-
ministration because of his member
skip of the committee on foreign rela-
tons. He called attention to the fact
that he had fully outlined his position
upon the subject in a speech in the
Senate towards the close of the Fifty
second Congress, soon after the news
of revolution in Hawaii was received,
in which he advocated annexation and
said he would again take occasion 10
express his views upon the question.
THE present government of Ha-
wall he continued. lis an existing
government recognized by foreign
powers. and it would appear as though
an attempt to overthrow it would be
an act Of hostility on the part of the
administration towards a friendly gov
ernment unexampled in our history
and unwarranted by the constitution.
If the policy of the administration
should give control of these islands to
a European power, it would be scarce
ly less injurious TO our commercial
interests than the action of President
Cleveland eight years ago in with
drawing from the Senate the Nicara-
qua canal treaty.
Dolph is of the opinion that the
Hawaiian question will demand con-
siderable attention from Congress at
the approaching session and thinks ii
will come up in the shape of resolu-
lions of inquiry. Congress should, he
says. pass an act directing the presi-
dent to open negotiations for annex
alton

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Situation as Viewed by the General
Board.

Board.
Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-The report of
the general executive board of the
Knights of Labor was given out this
morning. 1t opens with a review of
the years work, and in justification
of the boards course, as follows:
The past year has been one of
trial to organized labor. When your
board has been appealed to and asked
for their advice in cases of despair. or
when reductions of wages has been
proposed by employers, they have felt
it their duty to counsel cautious and
conservative action, even in instances
where in justice to demands for in
creased wages or resistance of the
proposed reduction, would have been
proper and right The steady stream
of immigration, which, in spite of leg
islation, continues to flow to the shores
of this country, makes it comparatively
easy for employers to fill the places of
striking workmen, and in addition la
Dor has had this year to reckon with
the fact of a financial panic and in
|dustrial depression. The cause of the
panic is a question that would be
Improbable to here discuss. Whether
it was occasioned by the operation of
the SO-called sherman act, as some
assert; to the uncertainty regarding
tariff legislation. as others maintain;
or whether it was part of a deliber-
ately-planned conspiracy, having for
its object the doubling of the value
of the wrold's funded debts, through a
contraction Of the worlds money,
which would be the inevitable con
sequence of the demonstration of sill
yer, as an increasing number believe,
need not here be discussed
Reference follows to. the report of
the secretary of the treasury, and the
falling off of the per capita tax.
This latter was ascribed not to fail
ing belief in the orders principles, but
to the sheer inability of members to
pay dues.

THE REVENUE BILL.
Democrats Before the Democratic Mem
bers of the Committee.

washington, Nov. 16.-The New
South sounded a warning to the Ways
and Means committee today. The man
ufacturing interests OF Alabama ana
Tennessee. by representatives, made an
informal argument before the Demo-
cratic members of the committee. AS
the delegations present were also Dem
ocratic in politics, the conference was
amicable until near the close, when
the chief spokesman of the southerners
broadly intimated that if iron ore, coal,
lumber, rice and sugar should all be
placed on the free list, the Democrats
of the south might cease to kiss the
hand that SmiteS them
F. G. Bush, president Of the Mobile &
Birmingham railroad, and also the
Clifton Iron company, protested against
the Injustice of placing iron ore or
coal on the free list.
I'm the case of free ore would you
be distressed by it, and where would it
come in competition with you?" asked
Wilson.
1--WE would be cut out of any sale of
iron in the eastern states. The effect
would be to restrict our market to the
south. In the east we would have to
meet the low competition of Cuban and
Spanish ore"
IF this committee, as reported" con-
tinued Bush, lis to- put lumber, rice,
sugar, coal and iron ore on the free
list, then the south might as well give
up. 1t would be a death blow to
southern prosperity. We are Demo-
Gratis from principle" concluded Bush,
Ir'and do not expect to suffer in the
house Of our friends. If we do, the
natural question to ask is. how long
will we continue to kiss the hand that
SniteS uS?' -
It is said that Senator White, of
Louisiana, will oppose vigorously the
tax on sugar and the abolition of the
sugar bounty. He asserts the tariff
policy which is being formulated will
disrupt the Democratic party.

to Abbey's theatre to see Henry Irving
this evening. They were guests of H.
H Kohlsaat of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. and Melville E. Stone
In an interview after the performance
Governor Mckinley said:
1.-The vast majority rolled up in Ohio
shows conclusively that the working
men have learned something since the
vote last year, and now see the folly
of their course. They are clearly dis
satisfied with the course Of the present
administration"
In reply TO a question about the cam
paign of 1885, he said there was no use
in specializing about that now, but the
tariff would undoubtedly cut no small
figure

Capital Chats.

Washington. Nov. 16.-Cleveland and
Lamont arrived from New York at 8
this morning. The president was
driven at once to the White House
The president has not looked in better
health since his first Inauguration. His
step is firm and elastic and his ap-
pearance unusually cheerful.
The president at once retired to his
private office with Secretary Thurber
and all visitors were excluded. The
reticence of employees of the White
House in regard to the presidents visit,
ever since his return, have led to all
sorts of rumors as to Cleveland
health, among them that his jaw is
diseased and that he went there for
surgical operation, but his appear
ance certainly indicates nothing OF the
kind.
Persons in a position to know say
the president went to New York to
consult a party of friends and Incl
dentally look after some private mat
tiers.
Lamont authorizes an emphatic de-
NAL of the report that he and the pres
ident went there in connection with a
real estate speculation in which they
are engaged, declaring they were not
engaged in any way or connection
with any negotiations looking to the
sale of bonds. or any purposes OF the
treasury department.

Other Opinions Expressed.

London, Nov. 16.-The Daily Tele-
graph, in its financial article this morn
ing, says: ct is stated the total loss
of the Bank of England through Chief
Cashier Mays, in advances on I'M
sound securities, will not exceed $780,
600. There is no reason to expect that
there will be any important reduction
of the next dividend"
The Times, in its financial columns,
emphasizes yesterdays denial and says
the character of the rumors are now
well understood and that the bears
have undoubtedly been repurchasing.
1--WE still think, however, that the
bank would be well advised to break
its customary reticence and make
known how small is the basis of fact
on which the rumors rest"

abiding sentiment against returning

maintain a good government that will
not be suppressed, and which will

THE RUSSIAN REFUGEES.
There VIII Be a Hard Fight Made for
Their Release.

Chicago. Nov. 16.-There will be a
hard fight for the release of the ten
Siberian refugees now jailed at San
Francisco. The society of Americans
for Russian Freedom has engaged able
counsel to go to San Francisco and
aid to defend the prisoners.
]. A. Hourwich, professor of political
economy of the university of Chicago,
and a gifted lawyer, is one of these.
The other is Attorney barrow, Of this
city. Hourwich is a Russian, familiar
with the methods of his government,
and has an authentic list of 500 polit-
ical exiles in Siberia. If the prisoners
names are on this list it will be, in the
counsel's judgment. sufficient to de-
mand release. If not, it is hoped the
prisoners will be identified by promi-
nent Russians in this country.
Lloyd Garrison, of Boston, Editor
volhonsky. of the London Free Rus
STA, Editor Zchook, of the Russian
Progress, and various Russian socie-
ties in the United States and England
are cooperating with the defense.

CLOSE SECRECY MAINTAINED.
1t Is Dimcult to Obtain the Exact Facts
in the Case.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE close Sc
creey maintained by the state depart
ment on the Hawaiian affair makes it
difficult to judge how much printed as
facts is true. and how much specula-
ton. No word has been given by au-
thority up to this time as to what the
actual instructions to Willis are. It
is sometimes possible to corroborate
so much of a surnise as happens to be
accurately made. Readers of Asso-
ciated Press dispatches can reasonably
rely on the accuracy of the statement
that Willis is instructed to use all his
powers Of persuasion to induce the pro-
visional government to consent to re-
tire in favor of the queen. He will try to
induce the queen to grant amnesty to
all the revolutionists, and will seek to
induce members of the present govern
ment to accept Office under the queen.
But he will not employ force to secure
the attainment OF his purpose without
further instructions from this govern
ment.

New York, Nov 16.-Washington
special: In anticipation of the con-
dition Of affairs which would arise
should the provisional government give
Willis his passports, the administra-
ton has adopted an extraordinary
course Of providing him with indepen-
dent authority to command the naval
forces of the harbor of Honolulu.
Under the ordinary rules of interna-
tional law. Willis would not be minister
if his passports were given him by
the provisional government as he
would have no authority to call on
the naval forces of this country for
any purpose whatever. To guard
against this contingency, orders to the
commanding officers of the naval forces
were given him, signed by the presi-
dent, directing the commanding officers
to obey any orders coming from Willis,
regardless of his official relations to
the Hawaiian government.

BONDS ARE OWNED ABROAD.

1t Is Apparent, However, They Are Con-

Washington, Nov. 16.-The annual
report of TilIman, register of the
treasury, shows that on October, 1892,
the value of registered bonds which
are supposed to be held by persons
of foreign nationality amounted to
about SIS, 800, 900; of which only $4,S3O,-
300, appeared upon foreign ledgers. 1t
is evident, says the report. that a
large portion of the registered bonds
owned abroad are controlled by agents
residing in this country.
