THEY ARE HERE.
Arrival Of the Hawaiian Commits
sioners at Washington.
They Are Taking Things Quite Easy-sOme
Interesting Figures in Regard to the
Little Kingdom Area and Popu-
latiOn of the Islands.
Arrival at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The members
of the Hawaiian annexation commits
sion spent quiet Sunday, passing
most of the time in their rooms at their
hotel Mr.. Carter, who was a resident
of Washington for some time while his
father was Hawaiian minister to this
country, found time to renew some of
his acquaintance of that period, but
the other gentlemen saw no one except
several callers at the hotel.
Speaking of the probable course of
events on the islands, Commissioner
Carter said that the provisional govern
ment would not undertake any legisla-
tive action pending the negotiations
with the United States upon the subject
of annexation except probably to re-
peal the bill which the recent legis-
lature passed the day before it was pro-
rogued by the lately deposed queen.
As long ago as last November Minister
Stevens wrote a letter setting forth
the advantages of the Hawaiian islands
to the United States and the desira-
bility of their acquisition by this coun-
try, in which he said: THE time
is near when we must decide who shall
hold these islands as part of their ma
tional territory. 1t is not possible for
them much longer to remain alone.
Their people and the United States will
soon be compelled by circumstances
and events to decide whether the Ha-
waiian islands will have unity, liberty
and autonomy with the United States
or become a colonized possession of 3
European power What Webster, Clay
and Marcy saw forty years ago Seward,
Fish and Blaine and the administra-
tons they represented clearly perceived
may now well be considered by the
American people.
The entire area of the islands is
about 5000 square miles. In addition
to sugar, which is now much the largest
product the soil and climate are ad.
mirably adapted toraising rice, bananas,
oranges, coffee, grapes and other crops
Well governed and properly developed,
they are capable of sustaining popu.
lation of 100000 to 100000 There
are extensive ranches for the
raising of sheep and cattle, so as
to- be capable of supplying steamers
and other vessels both in peace and
war. The two harbors of Honolulu
and Pearl City, about six miles apart,
are entered by narrow channels and
are closely backed by mountains, so as
to be made impregnably defensible at
not a large expense. Their ultimate
possession by the United States is OF
the utmost importance to American
commerce in the Pacific. which prom
Uses vast development if wisely cared
for and without too much delay"

WASHINGTON.
Something of Interest From the
National Capital
The Work Outlined For Congress During
the Current Week Probably Few
Days Of speech Making The In
dian Appropriation Bill.
Congress at Work.

at hoIhs
WASHINGTON, Feb 6-To-day will
mark the beginning of the last four
weeks of the Fifty-second congress, and
the clash of interests demanding atten-
ton, which must inevitably arise from
the announcements already made, prom
ises an exceedingly lively legislative
week
These include such important meas
ures as the bill for the repeal of the
silver purchase act, for the establish
ment of national quarantine, to pre-
vent dealings in futures THE anti-op-
tions bills and for the establishment
of a general bankrupt law.
A discussion that may last to the end
of the session is likely to be precipi-
tated in the senate at the very begin
ming, if Mr. Hill carries out his inten-
ton of asking the senate to determine
whether or not it will take up the bill
TO repeal the silver purchase law.
Much pressure is being brought to
bear upon Mr.. Hill not to press the mo-
ton, but so far he has given no indica-
ton of yielding to the opportunities
addressed to him. Mr.. Harris has given
notice that he will at the same time ask
the senate to take up the quarantine bill.
These motions will come up in the
morning hour, and of themselves would
cause no debate, but if Mr.. Hills mo-
ton prevailed, then Mr.. Teller's implied
threat of talking out the session would
begin to work
Senator Cullom will endeavor to have
the bills for the amendment of the
interstate commerce law disposed of
this week, but will probably not an
tagonize Mr.. Sherman's desire to get
the Nicaragua canal bill out Of the SEN
ate and over to the house.
Mr.. Hatch has asked for recognition
in order to call up the Paddock pure
food bill and the speaker will give him
the opportunity desired
Besides the pure food bill the meas
ures which are most likely to be con-
sidered under suspension of the rules
are the bill for the admission of Utah
into the union as a state, the Torrey
bankruptcy bill and the New York
bridge bill.
Wednesday is the day named in the
legislature for counting the electoral
vote, and Thursday and Friday will be
devoted to a discussion of cloture and
of the silver question. 1t cannot be
told at this time whether or not the eff
forts to force the silver question to a
vote will be successful. The apprO-
priation bills will monopolize most of
the time of the house not occupied by
silver, the electoral count and suspen-
sion of the rules.

position that it was not proper for an

There is no question that senators
on both sides of the chamber are deeply
concerned over the probability of the
nomination of a republican circuit
Judge to succeed Judge Jackson, the
democrats being determined in advance
to resist the installation of republic
an on a southern circuit, and the re-
publicans fearing that they will have a
hard struggle to confirm such nomi-

RICE rwo-TH1RDs GONE.
The Damage to the Crop Now Estima-
ted at SAOo,O 900.

your reports Of trouble and disasters
on account Of the storm have not been ex-
aggerated in the least, " said a well-known
rice planter to the MORNING NEWS yester-
day, and in fact do not believe that they
can be painted too badly.
80 far as your estimate as to the dam
age to the rice crop is concerned, I have
looked carefully into the matter aud find
that it is very nearly correct if not quite so.
The young rice on nearly every one of the
plantations is q total loss, all Of it having
been killed by salt water. Neither did
the rice that had been cut escape. 1t was
nearly all carried away by the water
which filed the fields. l estimate, and l
think, it is pretty accurate that nearly a
third of the crop had been cut.
About a third of the crop was young
rice, having been put in the ground in the
early part of June. That leaves only
one-third of the crop ripe in the fields,
and that is practically all that was not
entirely ruined by the storm. If anything,
/ think the loss is a little more than two
thirds, and that it win reach, in figures,
nearly $500, 600 as stated if not quite"
1t is learned that some of the plantations
were damaged to very small extent That
was only in cases where the banks were
strong enough to prevent the water from
breaking through and flooding the
fields. Such was the case with Mr. A. z.
Moynelo's plantati ton on the Ogeechee
river where the banks werestrOng enough
7 to prevent any inrOad from the salt water
and the only damage done to the rice
here at all was done by the wind and was
of little conse quenee
The reports from Clydesdale plantation,
Capt. j. A. Huger's place, state that
banks are broken in number of places
and the entire crop badly damaged by salt
water. The plantation comprises nine
hundred acres of rice land, equal to 35, 900
to 40, 900 bushels of rough rice, very little
Of which will be saved
Capt. Huger's other places, Murray
Hip and "Moreland," about 300 acres in
all are about as bad. At "Aloreland"
the barn was destroyed. Everything was
covered with salt water.
Capt. Manigault and MIR. Haskelps
plantation are in about the same condi-
ton.
Capt. Thomas r. Screven, who owns
large rice plantation across the river in
South Carolina, has been to his planta-
ton during the past week and has made a
thorough inspection of all the damage
done by the storm. He says that the re-
ports that there has been any loss of life
on his place are in error. While every
thing has been badly damaged and a
number of the cabins have been blown
away, nobody was killed there during the
storm or in the vicinity of his place.

Last night at o'clock it was central

Vessels sailing for these waters should be on
