.THB SHERMAN Sill EER ACT.
Efforts to Repeal the Law Will
Probably Fail.
TELLER is HARD AT WORK
He Thinks the Question Cannot Be
Made Political One.
Mr.. sherman Says That Whenever He Is
Assured of Majority in Favor
of Its Repeal He viii
Call 1t Up.

WASHINGTON, Feb. BIN the Senate
Mr.. Teller in presenting petitions against
the repeal of the Sherman act in the Sen
ate today declared that in his Judgment
decided majority of both sides of the
chamber were opposed at this time to its
repeal, and that in his opinion it could
not be made a political question at the
next session whatever might be the in
clination of the incoming president He
could not understand what the president
elect had to do with the question He
had never seen anything more indecent if
it could be traced anywhere near to an in
coming administration. In conclusion
Mr.. Teller reasserted his confident belief,
that it was not among the possibilities
that the Sherman act would be repealed at
this session of Congress.
Mr.. Vest, Missouri, felt compelled as
Democrat to notice what had been said
about the president-elect. He had not
authority to speak for him and did not
agree with him on the silver question,
but he had never suspected any indication
on Mr.. Cleveland's part in regard to that
or any other public question. The char
acter of no public man was safe il ne were
held responsible for newspaper utter
ances.
Mr.. Sherman said that whenever he
was assured there was majority of the
Senate in favor of the bill reported by
him to suspend the purchase of silver
bullion he would move to take it up.
Mr.. Gray OF Delaware, inquired what
better evidence there could be of the dis
position OF the Senate than roll call.
Mr.. Sherman replied that was virtually
what ne had already said, and added that
it was the right and duty of any other
senator who believed the bill could be
passed to move it be taken up. He had
taken means to ascertain the sentiments
of senator's, and was not satisfied the bill
could be passed at the present session.
Mr.. Hill of New York, said in his Judg-
ment the best way to test the sense of the
Senate was by direct motion; he, there
fore, gave notice that on Monday next,
during the morning hour, he would
move to take up the bill to which Mr..
Sherman referred. The Senate then pro-
ceeded to other business.
Mr.. Mitchell reported from the judiciary
committee a bill to pay awards OF the
court of claims in French speculation
cases. Placed on the calander.
The House bill to ratify and confirm
the agreement with the Kickapoo Indians
in Oklahoma and to make appropriations
of $64, $50 for the purposes passed with
amendments) and conference was asked.
At 8 pm. the business of the Senate
was suspended in order that fitting
tributes might be made to the memory of
the late Senator Barbour of Virginia.
Eulogies of the dead senator were pro-
nounoed by Senators Daniel, Henderson,
Faulkner, Gallinger, Platt, Hill, Hiscock
and Hunton. The usual resolutions were
agreed to and the Senate as further
mark Of respect, adjourned.

ENGLAND's POSITION.
An Interview with the Former UNDER
Secretary Under Salisbury.

An Interview with the Former Under.
Secretary Under Salisbury.
LONDON, Feb. "a correspondent had
an interview with Baron Henry De
Worms, Conservative NJ. P. and the par
liamentary under-secretsry of the colonial
Office in the late administration of Lord
Salisbury. Baron de Worms is regarded as
thoroughly in the confidence hsConser-
vative leaders, especially as to their foreign
policy, a subject with which he was widely
eonversant. De Worms said he had long
expected the trouble which had broken
opt in Honolulu. He did not approve CT
the proposed annexation of Hawaii to the
United States of America, and said they
had no right to annex a place thousands
OF miles distant from their own territory.
He considered that the proper remedy for
Hawaiian difficulties would be joint pro-
tectorate similar to the protectorate OF
Samoa. The British and German popula-
ton in Hawaii has dWarfed the American,
hence they would not allow the scream Of
the American eagle to silence their claims
England should oppose annexation and
Germany would be sure to speak.

KANSAS MIDDLE.
All Hope of Settling 1t Has Been Aban-
doned.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. a.-All hope of
settling the muddle in the house is aban-
doned, and the two organizations have
settled down quietly, quit quarrelling
and agreed to divide time on the floor
from now to the close of the session, the
Republicans meeting in the forenoon and
the Populists in the afternoon. A tangle
of state affairs will result and will con-
tinue until after the next general election
in 1894, when the new house will be
chosen. The Populists believe the Repub-
licans will not care to attack the Populist
laws and thus tie up the state govern
ment. They believe, too, that public
policy would compel the supreme court
to recognize the Populist house as the de-
facto house and sustain its laws.
