RIGHTS OF THE HOUSE.
Mr.. Springer VIII Have Quite Large
Following.

WASHINGTON. Feb. "a The prer ogatives
OF the House OF Representatives are 10 be
asserted before the ratification of the treaty
for the annexation of Hawaii. This was
decided upon at a meeting OF the Committee
on Ways and Means this morning. Twelve
OF the fifteen members were present, with
Chairman Springer presiding, and they
promptly took UP resolutions introduced by
Mr.. Springer, recting that money obliga-
tionS were assumed by the United States in
the proposed treaty, and calling upon the
President for statement as TO their
amount. including the rate OF interest. the
amount of the Hawaiian debt, and the
amount required to pay the bounty on
Hawaiian sugar. B0urke Cochran Of New
York had been examining the history OF the
purchase of Louisiana, and made careful
statement of the part played by the House
and Senate in that transaction. He pointed
out that President Jefferson did not enter
upon any negotiations for annexation until
he obtained 000 appropriation from
both houses of Congress. and that the ac-
QUESTION was finally confirmed by concur
rent appropriation OF the additional amount
needed. This. Mr.. Cochran maintained,
was recognition OF the right of the House
be affected. and he believed that the House
ought TO assert its right in the present case.
A very strong feeling of hostility 10 the
Hawaiian treaty is entertained by some of
the leading members Of the House. and it is
probable that the closing hours OF Congress
will witness lively debate over the rights
of the House in the matter. The movement
started with the Democratic members. but
some Republicans are inclined to take the
same view of the matter and to join in
voting for resolution of the character pro-
posed at the meeting Of the subcommittee
of the Committee of Ways and Means in
charge OF the Springer Hawaiian treaty
resolution. The discussion was lively and
full of interest, but was conducted in secret
session. The indications. it is said, point to
adoption by majority of the sub-com-
mittee of a substitute for the Springer reso-
luton declaring that the House has right
to be consulted before new territory is &C.
quired.

QUITE ANOTHER STORY.
The Treasury Is Said to Be Long on
Gold

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Treasury
situation shows decided improvement to-
day. Adsices received show that the export
OF gold at New York for tomorrow will
reach only S500,000. while it was expected
that S1.000.000 would be required to meet
the demands for foreign shipment. This,
taken in connection with the fact that in
the face of the gold agitation the Govern
ment has increased its gold holding by
S143000. inspired confidence and led to the
belief among Treasury officials that the
tide had changed. With the $500, 600 in gold
to be exported tomorrow subtracted from
the free gold held in the treasury, net
balance will be left of more than S3, 500, 000
The receipts also show an increase over ex-
penditures and the close of the month will
show the ledger almost balanced. despite
the fact that more than S14 600, 600 will be
required for pension payments
The closing days session of the Bimetal-
lie League was devoted almost entirely to
orat0ry. A resolution was unanimously
adopted providing for the appoin tment of a
committee to invite the cooperation of
every labor and industrial organization in
the United States, and to invite such organ
izations to send delegates to the future
meetings of the league. General Warner
was reelected president for the ensuing
year. The time and place for holding the
next annual meeting was left to the discre-
tion Of the executive committee, and the
league then adjourned sine die.
BERLIN, Feb 24-The Government has
directed the Department of Mines to study
the question of the production of gold
throughout the world. with the view of de-
Gliding how far the use OF silver is desirable
for industrial and monetary PURPOSES.

APPOINTED SENATOR.
Mr.. Beckwith of Wyoming May Have
Some Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The appointment
OF Senator from Wyoming by Governor
Osborne in consequence Of the failure of
the State Legislature TO elect any one for
the term beginning on March next may
give rise to some dispute in the Senate when
Beckwith. the appointee, presents his cre-
deniials. 1t has been held by many OF the
lawyers in that body that no Governor can
appoint a Senator except 10 fiji ont an un-
expired term. and that the State Legislature
must elect whenever it is sitting. a Sem
ator's term ends by Limitation of law and
the new term begins. The other and more
liberal view of the Governors powers
has generally been accepted. however,
and it is not likely that Beckwith will
be kept long out Of his seat because he
has not a title from the Wyoming Legis-
latnre. which refused to perform It's usual
functions. If the Montana and Washington
legislatures fall to elect Senator'S the Gov
eTnors in these two States will undoubtedly
exercise the power of appointment, as
Governor Osborne did in Wyoming and
the three eases will then have to be dealt
with on the same principle by the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections. That the
Senate would be reorganized by the Demo-
Gratis after March became apparent some
weeks ago, upon the election OF Demo-
cratic Senator from California. 1t looks now
as If the normal Democratic majority after
Saturday next will be 4 or G.

SURE TO BE A FIGHT.
Corbett and Mitchell Come to an
Agreement at Last.
The Articles May Not Have Been
Signed, but the Money Has
Been Put Up.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

BOSTON, Feb. 24--The $4,000 represent
ing Corbett's stake in his match with
Mitchell was posted this morning in the
shape of a certified check by Brady. Cor
belts manager, with Dave Blanchard. who
had been agreed upon as the final stake
holder. All that is now necessary to COM
plete the match is the putting up OF $4,000
by Mitchell.
Brady arrived from New York this morn
ing and was asked about signing the articles.
Brady said: Il can't say anything about
that, but when MitehelPs money is up the
match is made"
''Will you go to Niagara TO sign the ar
ticles ?''
''No, nor to any ether place AS said
before, the match Is made as soon as Cor
belts money is covered. That is all l can
say. 1t is Illegal. under the laws of New
York, to go out Of that State for the purpose
of arranging match. Itdoes not make any
difference whether we should 60 to Canada
OF Honolulu"
Have the articles been changed In any
way from what was agreed upon in New
York?'
NO, they are just the same"
NEW YORK, Feb 24.-While 1t Is not
definitely known whether Corbett and
Mitchell have signed articles for fight, it
is known that the match has been made and
that il is satisfactory to the principals and
their hackers. Brady, who is acting for
Corbett, and Mitchell have already come to
an agreement, and it is very probable that
the articles we're signed yesterday or TO-
day. Brady has deposited $4,000 with
Dave Blanchard. and Mitchell also sent a
representative 10 Boston with Brady to
post his $4,000 stake. Mitchell is not at all
reluctant In saying that the fight will surely
and positively occur in December unless
something now unknown should prevent
the meeting.
at was time" said Mitchell, "that Brady
and l came TO a final settlement. l have
not the remotest doubt the match will take
place, and either Corbett or l will be the
champion Of the world before many months.
l cannot say il the articles Of agreement
have been signed. have some regard for
American prisons, and it would not do for
me to say that l had already signed or that
1 intended to do So"
Brady will 90 to Canada within few
days AMI so will Mitchell II may be that
Mitchell and Brady have signed formal
agreement to meet in Canada. When ques-
tioEed on the point and asked what would
be the object Of his going to Canada, Mitch
ell said:
"Only for a pleasure trip. Baird and
will make a short tour Of the States and
Canada. We will leave here on Monday and
will probably reach Canada on Tuesday OF
Wednesday. The trip is taken for no other
reason"

FREE COINAGE AGAIN.
One More Effort to Bring the Ques.
tion Forward.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a In the House
this morning Holman asked consent for
non-concurrence In the Senate amendments
to the sundry civil appropriation bill. ex-
cept as 10 the Sherman bond amendment.
Bland objected. denouncing the Sherman
amendment as a job. and caused the refer
ence of the bill to the committee Of the
whole.
Hatch antagoniZed the consideration Of
the general appropriation bills with his
ant-optiOns bill. but was again defeated,
the House deciding to resume consideration
of the Indian appropriation bill.
Harter of Ohio introduced bill for the
free coinage of silver and gold at the pres
ent ratio on equal terms. Ii provides that
after passage the purchases Of silver bull
lion by the Government shall cease aud the
mints be opened 10 the coinage OF both
metals on the same terms as prior to 1875.
provided, however all silver and gold
coined thereafter, for account of owners,
shall not have the legal-tender function
and instead of being stamped 81. S. ETC..
shall be stamped ten dimes, fifty dimes. The
legal-tender function of gold and silver
coin already coined or hereafter coined for
account Of the United States is TO continue
legal tender. All laws in conflict with this
act are repealed

Special to THE MORNING CALL

CHICAGO. Feb, 24-Joseph Marsden and
w. c. Wilder, Hawaiian Commissioners.
are here on their return journey from
Washington. Thurston, Carter and Castle
remain at Washington for the present. 1t
has been agreed that Carter will not leave
until the Senate has decided the fate OF the
treaty. There Is every probability the two
others will keep him company.
Marsden said: 81 think there is no doubt
whatever that annexation VIII take place.
The sentiment of the Legislators is nearly
all our way. We did no lobbying whatever.
we had plain business proposition and
we presented it as such. / think 1t hardly
probable annexation will take place
during this administration, but early In
the next. Having gone as far as 1t has,
the United States cannot well recede. If IL
should 1t would be a great blot on Amer
lean craftsmanship. England has ships
filled with soldiers now on the way to the
islands, and If the Senate makes q false
move or gives Great Britain the least op-
portunity she will be only too glad to en-
brace it, and will in no time gobbe the
Islands, never to give them up.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Thurston and
Cook, of the Hawaiian commission. have
gone to Chicago. The former will return
to Washington next week. and cook will
join Marsden and Wilder, commissioners,
