THE CRUISER GARNET.
Victoria Naval Circles Fear for
Her Safety.

Her Safety.
The following dispatch is taken
from the S. F. Examiner under
date of the 4th instant. The Gar
net left this port about two weeks
ago for Esquimalt:
"Grave fears are expressed in
naval circles for the safety of Her
Majesty's ship Garnet, which left
southern waters for Honolulu via
San Francisco some time ago. The
Garnet was to call at San Fran
cisco for mails, and is some twenty
days overdue. She is good sailer
and the supposition is she has bro
ken her machinery and is proceed
ing under sail. She has not
called at Acapulco, and if no.
thing is heard from her next
week one of other ships on the
station will be dispatched in search
of her. The Garnet is a third-class
screw cruiser of 220O tons and Of
1000 horsepower. She is com
manded by Captain Hugh Hallett
and carries 270 men,"

POSSIBLE LEGISLATION.
A Poll of the Senate on Three
Important Measures.

WASHINGTON, March ga corps
of World reporters polled to-day
the new Senate on these three great
questions of legislation
$40 you favor repeal of the Sher-
man law"
do you favor repeal of the Nc
Kinley law?"
"Do you favor the annexation of
Hawaii"
The United States Senate is COM
posed of lightweight Senators. A
Senator from the State of Washing
ton to succeed Allen has not been
elected, and the new Senator from
Montana has not reached this city.
There are to-day eighty-three mem
bers of the Senate here. Allen of
Nebraska, Quay of Pennsylvania
and Beckwith of Wyoming are out
of town. To repeal the Sherman
Act or the Mckinley Bill will re-
quire a majority of the Senate or
forty-fve votes. But to ratify the
treaty the Constitution requires a
two-thirds vote of all the Senators
present. If the entire Senate votes
on the Hawaiian treaty it will re-
quire SO affirmative votes to ratify
it. The poll showed that of the SO
Senators in town 80 favor and %
oppose the repeal of the Sherman
law, while Is are non-committal j;
Al favor and 80 oppose the repeal
of the Mckinley Act, while 9 are
non-committal, and 40 favor and
20 oppose the annexation of Ha-
waii, while % are non-committal.

for reflection as well as much for
laughter. The article in question
reflects with some severity on the
measures of the Legislature, as well
as on the private conduct of some
of its members, and these in re-
venge rushed the resolution through
in regard to the removal of the
capital.
That legislative bodies are apt to
be over sensitive az to their own
rights andldignities is an observation
which the conduct of the last Ha.
waiian Legislature tends to confirm.
The futile attempts made by GER
tain members of the House at that
time to coerce the ADVERTISER,
were as childish as the conduct of
the Sacramento Legislators, while
they involved a further outrage
because they were a direct inter
ference with the liberty of public
discussion. Nothing is more whole
some and more necessary to the
safety of the State than the power
to criticize the actions of public
men. 1t is in the atmosphere of
this criticism that freedom thrives.
The abuse of the liberty of the
press is an evil, but it is an infn.
itely lesser evil than its suppress

THE fire in Boston, which has
just destroyed several millions of
property, by a singular fatality
swept over the same site as that
devastated by a fire some two or
three years since. The buildings
with which the locality had been
again covered were among the most
magnificent in the city, and were
supposed to be absolutely freproof.
Yet they went up in smoke SO
quickly that number of persons
did not even have time to get down
to the street, and SO persisted
miserably in the flames.

The plan of building a bridge
across the English Channel has
been revived, if late London dis
patch is to be believed. This plan
has been under discussion for some
years. A bridge of seventy-three
spans will be necessary. and each
span will be long bridge of itself,
az the length will be either 1900 or
1000 feet. The estimated cost is
$163, 100000, which is far in excess
of the cost of any engineering work
in the world. 1t seems hardly pos
sible that such an enterprise can
be profitable, though its freight
and passenger traffic, particu-
larly the former, would unques-
tionably be enormous. 1t can hardly
be doubted, however, that the coasts
of England and France will one
day be united either by bridge or
tunnel. The political reasons
which have hitherto constituted a
standing veto on the tunnel plan,
cannot much longer prevent the
carrying out of an enterprise which
is in the line of commercial devel-
opment, and which would prove a
convenience to millions of people.
The jealous alarm felt in England
as to the tunnel was never well
founded, for the security which she
derives from her insular position
and her mighty navy could never
be seriously jeopardized by so frail
a thread of communication.

That innocent and unsophisticated

into one of the pits he helped to dig for
the unwary farmer. as witness the fol-
lowing from his Ruralist:
About two years ago the D. r. AGO,

Co. 1t was supposed by the members
that the old business had all been closed
up. To Our surprise Messrs. Luthy. q
Co. are now trying to force collection
of the notes given for subscription to
stock. We are unable as yet to find out
how they came into possession OF those
notes and propose to make a thorough
investigation before we pay. In this
we are not giving advice: simply indi-
eating that we think there is something
wrong and propose to find sout before
we respond to the request.

ARAWA ARRIVED.
Another Steamer In From Honolulu,
Bringing News Up to

NOTHING OF MUCH IMPORTANCE

Hao occurred Up to the Time of Sailing,

Favorably Mr.. Hits Resolution Calling
on the President For Information Re-
garding Hawaiian Matters.
VICTORIA, B. G., Dec. 13.-The Aus
tralinn steamship Arawa has arrived at
Victoria, having left Honolulu Dec. 4.
Queen Liliuokalani has not been re-
stored, and there has not been trouble in
Honolulu.
From the arrival of the last report
there have been but two things of sig
nificant nature.
The Annexationists held mass meet
ing on Saturday, Nov. 25, and adopted
resolutions in effect appealing to con-
gress over the address of President
Cleveland, Secretary Gresham and Mr..
Blount.
On four days preceding the sailing of
the Arawa the troops of the provisional
government were busy fortifying and
barricading the government house, or
the castle, as formerly called. Nothing
has yet been done looking to the restora-
ton of the queen.

CONGRESSIONAL INSPECTION.
Illinois Representatives Will look Into
the Chicago Drainage Canal.


the Chicago Drainage Canal.
CHICAGO. Dec. 13.-The board of
trustees of the sanitary district of Chi
cago have arranged on Thursday. Dec.
26 next, for congressional inspection
of the great channel now under con-
struction between Chicago and Joliet, a
distance of 35 miles. This channel,
popularly known as the drainage canal,
is designed primarily to relieve the sani-
tary condition of the Chicago river, and
at the same time complete great
waterway which will connect the lakes
and the Mississippi It is the last
feature of the work, a government
feature, which the Senators and
representatives from the state of
Illinois are expected to look into.
The entire work will cost Chicago
about $50, 100000, about $4,OOO, 900 being
already expended. The actual work Of
construction has already progressed to a
point where the line of the channel is
marked out for 20 miles, and it is hoped
the government will, on the completion
of the work at Joliet, take it up and
complete it as a waterway to the Missis-
sippi. 1t is expected that the congress-
men from Illinois will be we'll repre-
sented at Chicago on the Goth.

URGENT DEFICIENCY s1LL.
Some of the Amounts Needed to Square
Uncle Sans Accounts.

Some of the Amounts Needed to Square
Uncle Sans Accounts.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The sub-com-
mittee Of the house appropriation COM
nlittee has been considering the urgent
deficiency bill, which it is expected will
be reported in few days. Many of the
items which We're included in the def
cheney bill, which failed to pass at the
extra session, are not included in the
present bill, as the house takes it for
granted that as the previous bill is still
in conference, it may be passed.
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
has appeared before the committee and
urged an appropriation Of 100000 for
special agents and examiners to investi-
gate pension frauds.
The public printer has sent in requi-
sition for 100000 for the deficiency of
the government printing Office.
The treasury department wants $780,
600 for deficiency on collection of Gus
toms. 1t has been the rule of congress
to appropriate $5 100000 for the service,
together with an indefinite appropriation
for fines, penalties, etc., which may
accrue to collectors. This has amounted
to 81, 100000 or $2,O00,000, but in recent
years it has been cut down to less than
100000. While this indefinite appro-
priation has been cut down it has been
necessary for congress to appropriate
from S4,OO0.OOO to $6,0OO,0OO for def
ciencies. If the present amount asked
for is not appropriated the treasury de-
partment will be obliged to curtail its
customs service, as the department. is
not willing to create any deficiency.
Another item asked is $4,000 for the
transportation of silver coin.
For Special Agents.
The commissioner of the general land
Office asked $S0,O00 for special agents.
This appropriation asks $4,000 for con-
tingent expenses. The last congress ap-
propriated S5s0,000 for registers and re-
ceivers and provided that enough land
Offices should be consolidated to make
this amount sufficient, but the offices
have not been consolidated, and if the
$1,000 is now appropriated it will be
tantamount to changing the law, SO as
to increase the last appropriation to
$4,000 1t is anticipated that appro-
priation for clerks for the senate during
the recess of congress in 1890, will be
attached to this urgent deficiency bill,
in the extra session of congress, and that
it will be one of the contentious of tho
session.

| In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Among the
petitions presented in the senate was
one by Mr.. Squires Rep., Wash.) from
the chamber Of commerce Of Seattle,
Wash, praying for the establishment of
national park in that state. Mr..
Squires introduced bill to this effect
and it was referred to the committee ON
public lands.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Hoar
calling for information as to Hawaiian
matters, and the resolution offered by
Mr.. PETER were entitled to precedence
in the morning hour, unanimous consent
was given that those resolutions should
remain on the table and should be pre-
sented later. Mr.. Cullom thereupon ad-
dressed the senate on the federal cleo
tions laws. He reviewed the legal
questions involved in federal supervision
of elections, taking broad view of the
constitutional power of the general gov
ernment to regulate elections for fed
eral Offices.
Mr.. Cullom concluded his speech at
1:45, and upon the suggestion of Mr..
Frye the Hoar Hawaiian resolution went
over. Mr.. Stewart then proceeded to
address the senate on the bill to repeal
the federal election laws.
During Senator Cullom's speech, Sen
ator Hill interrupted to correct some of
the statements made, and a heated de-
bate between the two followed.

The Argus-Leader, from it's self-erec-
ted pedestal, rebukes The REPUBL1-
CAN for saying that the recent repudi-
alton circular from Brookings county
is in line with much of the Populist
teaching. The AL. has not been a
very close reader Of its Pop exchanges
during the past three years and hassnot
listened to the same sort of Pop
speeches that we have, or it is talking
for buncombe. Does the state organ
presume to say that the Pop party in
this state is not fashioned after the
same organization in Kansas? And will
it deny that reputation and anarchy
have almost run their full course in the
Sunflower state? That THE REPUB-
L1cAN is not alone in its view on this
subject is shown by the following para
graph from the Minneapolis Journal,
q by no means radical paper The
Journal says:
The Populist Reputation movement
in South Dakota is condemned even by
such radical as Senator Kyle. And
Mr.. Kyle should remember that the
principles of that party, with which he
has aligned himself, lead directly to re-
pudiation and revolution.
