A BILL to admit Utah, democratic
Territory, into the Union as State,
could have passed the U. S. House
of Representatives yesterday if all the
democratic members of that body had
been present but many of them were
absent, engaged with their own private
business or pleasure. No wonder there
is so much talk OF turning many of
them down next November.

FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS.
SENATE.

SENAlC.
After the routine business Mr.. Gull
lom indicatede desire to address the
Senate on the bill to repeal the federal
elections law, but as the Hawaiian reso-
luton, offered yesterday by Mr.. Hoar,
and resolution offered yesterday by
Mr.. PETER had precedence in the morn
ing hour, unanimous consent was given
that those resolutions should remain
on the table and should be presented
at late hour to-day or tomorrow
Mr.. Cullom thereupon addressed the
Senate.
In the course of his speech Mr.. Gull
lom INDUCED in denunciatiou of cleo
toral crimes in New York, referring es-
pecially to the action of Judge May
nard. On this point he was taken up
by Mr.. Hill, who declared emphatical-
ly that the action referred to had not
affected the Senatorship from the State
of New York. There was long and
somewhat exciting dialogue between
the two Senators on that and other
points.
When Mr.. Cullom concluded bis
speech, Mr.. Stewart took the floor.
The Hoar resolution was then, at the
suggestion of Mr.. Henderson, laid over
till o-morrow-Mr. Hoar having mean
while intimated his readiness to let the
resolution be referred to the committee
on foreign relations.
HOUSE.
The annual report Of the coast and
goedetic survey with other executive
documents were laid before the House.
Mr.. Geary reported that the confer
ence committee on the New York and
New Jersey bridge bill had failed to
agree and asked a further insistence.
Mr.. Bailey reported from the judi
ciary committee bill providing for q
uniform system of voluntary bank
ruptcy.
Mr.. Meyers called up the resolution
providing for joint commission to in
vestigate the rank, pay and other mat
tiers relating to the personnel of the
navy. This resolution has on several
previous occasions proved bone of
contention and its reading brought
Messrs Kilgore, Savers and others, who
have achieved more or less reputation
as directors, to their feet. The first
step in a good natured fillibuster was
an inquiry concerning the parliament
arv status of the resolution, which was
decided to be on the union calendar.
A molten to go into committee OF
the whole was defeated by a viva vcce
vote, but carried on division when
Mr.. Kilgore raised the point of no
quorum, and tellers were appointed,
The object was to kill time until the
morning hour expires.
The resolution was agreed 10 ana thc
House went into committee of the
whole. A general discussion followed,
Mr.. Everett, dem, Mass.) occupying
his five minutes in a rapidly delivered
and rather vehement speech against the
resolution, to which Mr.. Cummings
(dem., n. W replied.
A motion to favorably report the bill
to the House evoked demand for di-
vision, from Mr. Kilgore, and lOl mem
bers were counted. The vote was
again ordered by tellers but before its
completion the morning hour expired.
The House in committee of the whole
took up the bill to enable the people OF
Utah to form q constitution and State
government and to be admitted iuto
the Union on an equal footing with the
original States.

the Federal cavalry. Saravias' forces are

The letter saws: There is indubitable
evidence Of her frequent participation in

frequent attendance at church. Twice she
has personally sacrificed to Pele. There is
a large body OF Hawaians Of elevated char
acter and progressive civilization. but the
mass of the natives have been bedevied by
palace Kahunaism and debauched by palace

during that period has been q breeding

ing and destroying the people with sorcery,
lust and drunkenness. three chief causes of
the wasting away of the Hawaians."
The conclusion of the letter says: "The
Americans have no option but to rise up
for the preservation OF their treasures"
and expresses the belief that the majority
of the Hawaiians of character and SUBJ
stance have longed for the abolition OF the
monarchy. They look with like eagerness
with us for the starry flag of protection and
honor to float over these lowly islands"

BARREN OF GOLD.
There Is None Left i'm the
Treasury.
HERE is STARTLING NEWS.
The Banks of New York Were Called
On to Aid in Meeting the
Emergency.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

New YORK, Feb. ga local paper this
morning will say: The United States
treasury Is practically empty OF gold and
the New York banks have been obliged to
come to the relief of the Government That
is serious condition of affairs for the
Secretary Of the Treasury and the financiers
OF the country to face Tho drain OF
American gold coin to Europe has at last
exhausted the resources Of tie Government
and the private stores in the vaults have
0een drawn upon to tide over the emer-
gency.
The secret has been well kept, but OF the
S3.50O000 in American gold that was shipped
to Europe last Saturday 100000 was
loaned to the Sub Treasury by the banks Of
this city. The entire supply OF gold In the
vaults Of the United States treasury to-day
is reduced to sos. 938. OF this only
SIS. l76,93S is free gold. and the remainder.
S100.000,000, must be by law held In the
treasury for the redemption of like
amount of legal tender notes which have
been Issued against il.
Nor has the drain of gold stopped. Ar
rangements were made by foreign bankers
to-day for the shipment of S3,000,000 in
gold next Saturday. Other shipments will
probably be heard from tomorrow, and ii
is the impression In Wall street Today that
this weeks exports will reach about S5,000.-
900.
This would leave only little over
$4,000 600 of free gold in the treasury. prob
ably hardly sufficient for a single weeks
supply. Since Monday the actual short
sterling rates of exchange have gone up
from s4 S7A TO ga ss, less the commission.
George G. Williams, president Of the New
York Clearing house Association and also
president OF the Chemical National Bank,
spent great deal OF time yesterday ar
ranging for further loan of gold to the
Treasury Department.
He went to several banks and appealed
TO them that for the public good they should
join in contributing of their gold reserves,
making at least enough to keep up the
supply Of free gold in the treasury TO meet
all demands until steDs can be taken to
otherwise meet the emergency.
1t is understood that the appeals were
successful In all Instances. and four banks
had already advanced S2,000OOO OF gold last
Friday to help meet the demands for Satur-
days eXnOIts.

PARIS, Feb. S-Forty-fOur persons died
in Marseilles to-day Of chOleraic disease.
Nine OF the cases were suspIciousIy like
Asiatic cholera, aud the physicians ap-
pointed to make a special investigation OF
the disease have been unable so far to make
q satisfactory diagr 0sis. A microscopic
examination has failed to reveal the
presence of comma bacli. Some Of the
physicians are inclined TO the belief that
the disease Is Intestinal Influenza. The
disease is confined to the filthiest districts,
where sanitation is in a deplorable condi-
ton. A later dispatch from Marseiles says
that despite the gravity Of the situation no
signs Of a panic have been manifested as
yet, the Board of Health assuring all in-
quirers that the disease is not cholera, and
that ii will be checked before Saturday.
The Petit Parisien says: The first cases
OF cholera were reported in Marseilles be-
ginning the present month. The disease
has spread with startling rapidty. Mon
day there were twelve cases and seven
deaths and yesterday there were thirty
seven cases. There have been twelve
deaths since the 1st. 1t is absolutely cer-
tain that the epidemic is Aslatic cholera.

The object of this move is 10 bring debate

six votes of censure 10 the address, this
last motion made a new precedent. 1t
purpoTted to censure the Government not
for what 1t had done but for what it had
not done. The amendment declared what
was untrue. The Government was deter

Gladstone maintained that the parish

agriculturalists, giving them autonomy and
enabling them to work reforms in their own
behalf He taunted Ceilings with having
aided the Tories in 1892 to defeat the efforts
OF the Liberals to improve the small

CAN DO NOTHING.
Canada Not Hurt by the Presidents
Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The treasury Off
cials are not expecting very great results
from the Secretary Of States Instructions TO
United States COnsuls that they must per-
s0nally seal goods coming to this country
under bond over the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way. The instructions do not yet seem to
have reached the Consul at Vancouver.
although the request that they be sent was
transmitted by the Secre tary OF the Treas
ury to the Secretary of State last week.
There Is no power by which the United
States can prevent Chinese and japanese
products being brought over the Canadian
Pacific Railway TO frontier ports IN the
East provided they come directly from Asia
to British Columbia and do not cross the
territory OF the United States Such goods
on their arrival at the frontier of Vermont
or New York might be entered for lnImc-
diate transportation to a point within the
United States, or be entered for consump-
tion without regard 10 their final destina-
ton.
Either system would involve the exami-
nation Of the goods. and TO a certain extent,
the unloading of the cars. The cars would
be sealed with the Customs lock and seal il
they were to 60 forward under the imme-
dlate transportation act and the duties
would be assessed after their arrival at
their destination. The other system Of en-
try for consumption. just as at seaports.
would probably prove less troublesome in
the case.Of free goods, like tea and raw silk,
which form the bulk OF the imports from
China and Japan. The effect of the Treas
ury regulations Is simply TO cause little
greater delay and difficulty III the shipment
of goods, and the President doubtless hoped
that this difficulty would be sufficient to
Offset the lower freights offered by the
Canadian Pacif1c Railway. 1t is probable
that If the Canadian Pacific seriously values
this traffic 1t will be able to retain it by
meeting the hostile action of our Govern
ment by further slight concessions in freight
rates.
