The Resolution Adopted.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. December S.-When
Senator Hoar's resolution calling upon the
president for full information concerning
the acts of the government in Hawaii came
up an interesting discussion occurred.
Senator Hoar said that if what was appar-
emily proposed to be done had not been
done yet, he desired the swift and indignant
remonstrances of the American people should
make itself heard. The president was get
ing in the habit of adopting rather eXtraor-
binary language in his dealings with the
other branches OF the government.
Senator Mills asserted the entire Hawaiian
difficulty had arisen because the sugar plant
ers of Hawaii wanted to obtain a bounty on
sugar to be paid to them out of the pockets
of the American citizens.
Senator Hill said: There are three CO.
ordinate branches of this government, and
this is an authority which is not vested in the
president alone" The contemplated action
of the president, he declared, would be an
inspiration of the rights of congress-.
Senator Sherman: One thing appeared
to him to be very plain, and that was that
congress had not been treated in an open
and fair way in which the administration, a
part of the United States government, should
treat congress. There was no reason in
the world for secrecy. All the facts ought
to be communicated to congress. The sena-
tor said all he desired to say on the present
occasion was that if it was the purpose of
the president by the use of military force, to
restore the queen in Hawaii. it would be a
fatal act of public policy, great injustice
to the people of the United States and al
most an insult to congress. Congress was
the law making power. The president had
no right to declare war or to do an act of
war, or to precpitate the country into
controversy of this kind. Whatever view
was taken of the action of year ago, there
would be no doubt about the view that
would be taken by the people of the United
lence, or even the appearance of violence,
or threats, or any act whatever to be done
by executive authority without the consent
or knowledge of congress.
The resolution was adopted without divi-
sion

SENATOR DOLPH
Has a Few Remarks to
Make.
Took Exception to Statements of the Mes
sage-The Debate Thus Opened Will
be Brilliant as the President
Has Strong Defenders.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 8.-Sena.
tor Dolph spoke on the Hawaiian question.
He quoted paragraph from the president S
message, and took exception to the assertion
that Mr.. Blount's rerort showed beyond all
question that the constitutional government
of Hawaii had been subverted with the active
aid of the American minister and by the
presence of an armed force of the United
States, landed for that purpose. The mes
sage places the report of the personal repre-
sentative of the presdent-acting under Sc
cret instructions, and conducting an ex parte
examination-as entitled to more credence
than the official report OF the former minis
ter to Hawaii and the reports of naval Off
GERS and of the representatives of the Hawa-
ian government, and the information re-
ceived from the Christian and intelligent
people of Hawaii since the revolution. a
dissipated, corrupt native queen had been
deposed and provisional government estab-
lished which represented the intelligence,
the wealth, the business interests and the
educational, moral and Christian elements
of the islands, and if the policy of the ad-
Dlinistration should result IN restoring the
queen, q greater crime against civilization
could not be committed.

The Santa Fe Resists the Assessment.

TOPEKA, December 1.-THE Santa Fe law
department, after thorough investigation
of the recent assessment, has decided to resist
the payment of the company's taxes in the
courts.
The mode of resistance has not yet been
decided upon, but it will probably be injunc-
ton proceedings. These will be commenced
in either the United States circuit court or in
each of the several counties of the state
through which the road runs. In the latter
case, with the consent of the county attor-
neys, but one case would be tried, which
would involve all the material points. Ac-
ton will be begun Immediately as the taxes
are due December q.
The grounds upon which the case will be
based are unjust discrimination against the
railroad, and a very excessive valuation of
its property. The Santa Fe assessment was
8 per cent. higher than that of any other
road in the state and IA per cent. higher than
some of the roads.

Depression in Farm Products.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 8.-Sena-
tor PETER, of the committee to investigate
the depression of prices of farm products,
has been interviewed on that subject. He
says:
"One of these causes are speculations on
boards of trade and stock exchanges. The
constant trading in futures necessarily gives
out to the people the idea that there is more
grain on hand than there is in fact. In
other words, the world judging from the
market reports, understands that there is
much larger quantity of grain on hand than
does really exist, and that of itself logically
tends to lower prices.
The influence which is exerted upon the
farmers business by the great packing estab-
lishments results in minimizing competition
among buyers.
The other general cause results from our
financial legislation. Immediately after the
war we called in our paper money and in the
process of going from a paper basis to
specie basis, prices fell in accord with the
well understood rules of business. We
funded our money into long time interest
bearing bonds, payable in coin. Then we
abolish one of our coins and put the country
on a gold bases. Prices have accommodated
themselves to this change in policy. The
narrowing of the money basis forces down.

wuA,,. and France Are Ready.

LcyDoN, December AT the request OF
the Associated Press correspondent Poult-
ney BigeIow. whose intimate relations with
the highest officials in Germany are well
known, wrote the following on the situation
in Europe:
RUSSIA wants Constantinople and is pre-.
pairing to take it. Russia cannot succeed in
accomplishing this desire without fighting
Austria. She cannot fight Austria without
fighting Germany at the same time. Rus
sla wants the mouth of the Danube, desire
as strange as if France should wish to reoc-
cupy Louisiana. Russia, therefore, has one
enemy she will probably mind, that is Ger
many. In this hatred of Germany was born
the comical friendship between Russia and
France, for France means to get back Al
sace-Loraine. The gravity of the present
outlook is not so much in the fact that Rus
STA and France individually dislike Germany,
but in the fact that they are united in hatred
that absorbs every other passion. That
France is thirsting for war admits of scant
doubt to those who saw the delirious be-
havior of France in welcoming the Russian
sailors at Toulon and Paris, nor is there
any doubt that she is now better fitted for
war than she has ever been. Russia sounded
France. and was well satisfied with the re-
suit. When war is declared, the two are
one, army and navy"

Expect the President to Delay.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. December 9.-The
senate evidently does not expect to receive a
great deal more information upon the sub
ject than the president has already trans
mitted. Senators are anxious to have the
matter cleared up. 1t is understood this waf
the tone of the discussion in the executive
session, and there was more of a spirit OF
fault finding because of the failure of the
president to make plain his course than OF
criticism of what had been done. Indeed, il
was admitted that so long as there was nc
information as to what had actually occurred.
there was no other course for criticism to
take.
Some of the members of the senate have
been asking themselves what the senate will
do in case Mr.. Cleveland should fail to take
any notice of their request for information.
but most of those spoken to on the subject
say this is not probable contingency. They
admit, however, that it would not surprise
them if the president declined to transmit
any further information until after the next
steamer shall arrive from Honolulu.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. December 12.-The
statistical returns of the department of agri-
culture for the month of December are prin-
cipally devoted TO the indication of average
prices of the various productions, in the
nearest local markets. As thus indicated.
the value OF corn is 81 cents per bushel,
which is "a cents lower than the correspond
ing price of last year, which was 1914 per
bushel, figure which corresponds nearly
with the price for the decade 1880 to 1890 in
elusive, which was 1913, and is 6.1 lower than
the average for the years 1890 to 1892.
Potatoes on the farm December l were
selling at an average of co cents per bushel,
and fraction cents less than at the same
time last year. The low price is sufficiently
warranted by the difference in the yield be-
tween the two years.
Wheat.-The average price of wheat is 81
cents per bushel, the next lowest price in the
twenty-three years from 1870 to 1S92 iuclu-
sive was CAS- in 1884. The average for the
ten years 1880 to 1880 was 83.7, while for the
three years, 1890 to 1892, it was 1915. The
decline from the average of the three pre-
ceding years, in two of which, viz. 1891 and
1892, occurred the largest yields in the his
tory of the country, is A.5, or 81 per cent.
Oats.-The average farm price of oats, as
returned for December 2, 1892, is 28.S cents
per bushel, which is 30 cents lower than last
year, and IA cents less than the average
price during the past decade.

A Little Later News.

There are all sorts of stories at Washing
ton, Chicago and San Francisco about Ha-
wall Before the Hawaiian minister, Thurs
ton, left Washington he was reported as tell
ing about the plans of the provisional govern
ment: that they would resist all efforts to
reinstthe the queen, even to giving battle
except that they would not forcibly resist
United States troops, nor would they sur
render to them except upon actual arrest.
While Thurston was at Chicago it was
published that the foregoing program was
Just what Thurston had advised his govern
ment to do from the start. A few days later
news is had from Honolulu, via Vacouver,
which tells of rumors and guesses from both
sides at the islands, but nothing definite.
1t seems that Minister Willis IS waiting to
get new instructions, or that he is already
Instructed to hold things in status quo until

FRAUDULENT.
This is Decided of Bond In
vestment Companies.
An Effort Made to Suppress Them-Operat-
ing All Over the Country-Their Mail
Withheld, and Prosecutions En-
tered Upon With Vigor.

CHICAGO, December 1.-THE postoffice
authorities have determined to suppress the
bond and investment companies which are
operating all over the country. Postofice
Inspector Stuart received from Washington
list OF over fifty concerns operating in
much the same manner as the Guarantee
investment company of Chicago, whose
officers were convicted in Judge Grossup's
court. These companies have been pro-
nounced by the assistant attorney general
OF the postoffice department as fraudulent.
The inspectors are requested to notify the
postmaster and not deliver registered letters
or money orders to these companies and if
possible to secure evidence against the COM
panies and prosecute them under the law
torbldding the concerns the use of the mails
for swindling purposes.
