SENATOR HILL ON HAWAII.

Restore the Queen.

He Challenges the Right of Cleveland to
Restore the 4ueen.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Tn the senate
during the afternoon when Senator
Hoar's Hawaiian resolution was taken
mp Senator Hill created q sensation by
making, perhaps, the strongest speech OF
his senatorial career. He challenged
the right of the president to use military
force to restore the Hawaiian queen.
There are three coordinate branches
of this government, said he, ''and this
is an authority which is not vested in
the president alone"
The contemplated action of the presi-
dent, he declared, would be ausurpation
of the rights of congress. He was at
tentively listened to throughout and the
galleries rapidly filed up as the report
of the sensational character of his speech
spread through the capitol.
At 1886 p. m. Senator Hill finished and
was followed by Senator Sherman, who
also challenged the correctness of the
presidents position.

GENERAL SHIELDS.
Another Figure Added to the Army OF
Distinguished Men In Statuary
Hall.
He Was q Fayorite Son of Three
States, Missouri. Illinois and
Minnesota,
And They All United In Doing Him
HOn0r-The Statue the Gift Of
Illinois.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.--Another figure
has been added to the distinguished ar
ray of warriors, statesmen and invent
ors, whose monuments, erected in Stat
uary Hall of the United States Capitol,
symbolizes the regard in which they
were held by at least one state of the
Union. General James Shields, who
was thus honored, was the favorite son
of three states, and his ashes rest in Mis-
souri,, but Illinois, by resolution of its
Legislature, decided that his statue
should be one of the two which it is en-
titled to place in Statuary Hall. Illinois,
therefore, had the chief place in the
ceremonies, but Missouri and Minnesota
also took advantage of the opportunity
to do especial honor to the memory OF
their soldiers Of bygone days. Appro-
pirate ceremonies and addresses by rep
resentatives for the three states named,
marked the unveiling Of the statue.
The ceremonies began at | o'clock,
with small street parade which was an
incident rather than feature of the
occasion. A troop of cavalry from Font
Myer and the artillery band stationed in
this city escorted the speakers and
| guests from the Metropolitan hotel to
the Capitol. Following the military
were carriages, in which were Governor
Altgeld and staff of Illinois, Governor
Nelson and staff of Minnesota, Governor
Stone and staff Of Missouri, the mem
bers of the Shields statue commission,
the family of General Shields, the COM
mittee of arrangements and the execu-
tive committee. Veterans of the Mex
ican war, members of the q. A. r. and
of the Emmett Guards of this city
brought up the rear of the procession,
which moved to the Capitol.
Senator Vest of Missouri made the
| principal dedication address.

CHICAGO, Dec. Fires, similar in
character discovered in Catholic

they were of incendiary origin. A blaze

about 10 days ago the same thing hap
pened in the Holy Cross church. Both

Tam0us statues or puDllc men, among

Picturesque and Checkered.
General James Shields history was
picturesque and checkered. He enjoyed
the distinction Of being the hero of two
wars, of having represented in the
United States senate three states
Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri --of
having been governor of fourth, Ore
gon, and of having begun q career cut
short by the war in fifth, California.
His last public act was to preside over
q public convention in still another state,
Wisconsin. He was born in Ireland i'm
1910, and came to this country in
1929. During those early days in Illinois
he challenged Abraham Lincoln to fight
duel, the cause of which has always
been something of mystery. Lincoln
received the challenge and named broad
swords 90 the weapons, but the dual
never came off.
Personally General Shields was said
to be q brilliant, dashing fellow, brave
as lion in battle, with heart as soft
as woman's; in disposition, rowing and
adventuresome, a man whose personal
ity held the imagination and fascinated
the eve.

GOOD SHIP GONE.

Two Amidships Off Highland

Only One OF the Crew of Twenty
Seven Saved. and He Was Washed
Ashore.
Life Line Thrown Over the Ship But
the Sailors Seemed Unable to
Secure 1t.

HIGHLANDS LIGHT, Mass, Lee. 'J.-
The British ship Jason, Captain MILAN,
Calcutta for Boston, went ashore off
Eastman. When daylight came ON it
was seen that the Jason had broken in
two amidships. Her main and mizzen
masts are gone and every man of her
crew on board, numbering 90, were
washed into the sea and lost. At 8
o'clock p. IN. the Jason made the land
off Cape Cod, and for the rest of the
afternoon she struggled valiantly to
weather the point. The captain had lost
his bearings in the binding storm, and
when land was sighted he was 80 near
that it became apparent that the ship
was lost. Men on shore had seen the
vessel struggling in the terrific seas, and
the life saving crews from Point River
station and the Highlands station were
notified. These two crews were soon
Joined by the crews of the Pamet sta

over the yielding sands to point oppo-
site the stranded ship. 1t was after 8
o'clock before the men were in readiness
with their guns, boats and lifelines. At
that time pieces of boats, spars and other
wreckagc were coming ashore, and by the
lights carried by the patrolmen the
great white crested surges could be seen
breaking all over the sh p. With the
wreckage was discovered human body,
and when it came up on the beach life
savers quickly sprang and rescued it be-
fore the suck of the receding waves
could take it back to the sea. The usual
efforts practiced in cases of drowning
persons were resorted to, and in half ar
hour
signs of Life Were Apparent.
Stimulants were administered, and Ii
another half hour Samuel Euans
was able to talk. According to hi,
story. as soon rs the officers saw
that all hope was gone the crew wers
ordered to the rigging. The ship struck
IN the changing seas OF Eastman and ths
seas began rolling all over her. Evans
was clinging TO the lee rail when sh,
struck, but before he could reach ,
,lace of safety in the rigging he wa
swept away. The life savers, aftel
several unsuccessful attempts, sue
ceeded in shooting a lifeline over tn,
doomed ship, but the sailors did no
seem to be able to secure it.

Well, there are great many people who
look down into the grave as great cavern.
They think it is a thousand miles subter-

voices Of despair, and the cascades seem to
be the falling tears that always fall, and

world seems descending in the stalactite,
making pillars of indescribable horror. The
grave is no such place as that to me, thank
God.
Our divine guide takes us down into the
great caverns, and we have the lamp to our
feet and the light in our path, and all the
echoes in the riffs Of the rock are anthems,
and all the falling waters are fountains of
salvation, and after awhile we look up and
behold-the cavern Of the tomb has become

looking at the pomp of it an everlasting
