HAW AIIANS TALK.
Hopeful That Their Mission
Will Be a Complete Success.

CHATS with Mr., Foster,

a Statement to the Public Possibie-Com-
missioner Carter's Views on the Proba-
BILE Course OF Eyents-nIiuistor stevens
Points out the Advantages OF the
Islands to the United states.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The members
of the Hawaiian annexation commission
spent quiet Sunday, passing most of
the time in their rooms at their hotel.
Mr.. Carter, who was resident of
Washington for some time while his
father was Hawaiian minister to this
country, found time to renew some of
his acquaintance of this period, but the
other gentlemen saw no one except sew
eral callers Mt the hotel. Among the
visitors during the day were Commander
Goodrich, Of the United States navy,
and Mr.. J. B. Montgomery, of Portland,
Or, the latter of whom expressed to the
commissioners his belief that the entire
Pacific coast was united in favor Of the
annexation of the islands to the United
States. The commissioners do not ex-
pect to have any statement to make to
the public regarding their errand until
after the completion of their conferences
with Secretary Foster. They will be
busily engaged during the intervals be-
tween these meetings with the secretary
in the preparation of the argument that
they will advance in support of their
application for the annexation Of the
islands by the United States.

FERs Ar FuNRRALs.
a Paper Argues That Ministers Should
Accept Them.


II seems TO us just as proper for q
clergyman 10 take fee for his services
st funeral as for his services at a
wedding or christening Many
olergymen are largely dependent upon
the fees paid to they for special SER
vices, which are sometimes very trying
and which take up much Of their time.
Yet the Christian Advocate holds that
clergyman should not accept a
funeral fee, for the reason that IL Is
given for the purpose OF inducing
him to eulogize the deceased 1t may
not be given for any such purpose;
IL may be given as q mark OF
appreciation of services rendered in the
performances of the rites Of burial, says
the New York Sun. The clergyman
has been called upon to perform a
clergical duty which is as worthy Of
recognition as are his other official
labors. He need not eulogize the de-
ceased; the prescribed religious cere-
monies for funerals do not dovolve
anything of the kind. If the clergy
man has not been we'll acquainted with
the person at whose funeral he
ofiiciates IL is well for him to be very
guarded in any remarks he may be
pleased TO make. In some instances
funeral eulogies that were malapropos
have been delivered to the grief OF
mourners. 1t seems peculiarly wicked
TO play the hypocrite over a coffin.

To Shut Ont Ohio FueI.

OTTAWA, Feb. 6.-The Whitney syn
dicate, which recently purchased nearly
all the coal mines in Cape Breton and
Nova Scotia, sent big contingent to
Ottawa. The object of their mission is
understood TO be to reassure the Do
minion government regarding the dan
ger of a monopoly in the maritime PROV
inces. The bin incorporating these
capitalists is now under consideration
by the Dominion government and will
be allowed to go into operation. The
syndicate will place a fleet on the route
between Cape Breton and Boston and
between Cape Breton and Toronto.
They expect to displace Ohio coal in the
latter city.

Rule of oloturo May Be Tried.

Senator Hin win Move to Take Up the
Measure Monday-An Anti-Option VIC
tory In the House-The Final Passage
of the Bill Seems Assured-Refcrrod to
the Committee on Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The question
of the repeal of the Sherman act, or at
least of the suspension of the silver
bullion purchase provision of it, was un-
expectedly precipitated on the senate
yesterday by Mr.. Teller, Republican, of
Colorado. He made the presentation of
some petitions on the subject the oc-
casion for launching out into discus
sion of the whole question and expressed
his confident assurance that the repeal
of the Sherman act was not among the
possibilities of the present session. He
commented with some bitterness upon
newspaper statements as to the deter
mlnation Of Prcsident-eleCt Cleveland 10
have the Sherman act repealed.
Mr.. Vest, Democrat, of Missouri, re-
pellcd the newspaper statements as un-
worthy of consideration, and said that
the character and position Of no public
man would be safe if reliance were TO
be placed on such statements.
Mr.. Sherman, Republican, of Ohio,
stated that he had not moved to take up
the bill because he was not satisfied that
there was a majority in its favor. And,
finally, notice was given by Mr.. Hill,
Democrat, Of New York, that he would
test that question next Monday by a
motion to take up the bill and pass it.
But, after all, the feature of the pro-
ceeding was Mr.. Sherman's implied
threat that cloture would be applied in
the senate, if necessary, to give effect to
the will of the majority.
House bill to ratify and confirm an
agreement with the Kickapoo Indians in
Oklahoma territory, and appropriating
$64,65O for thar purpose, was taken from
the calendar and passed with amend
ments, and a conference was asked.
House bill to protect settlement rights
when two more persons settle on the
same subdivision Of agricultural lands
before survey thereof, was taken from

ment, and a conference asked.

Succeed Justice Lamar.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Howell Ed
mund Jackson. who has been nominated
by the president to be associate justice
of the supreme court of the United
States, vice L. @. c. Lamar, deceased.
is Democratic ex-senator and at present
judge of the United States court for the
district embracing Tennessee.
Jackson was born in Paris, Tenn.
April s, 1882. He received a classical
education, graduating from the West
Tennessee college in the summerof 1SiS
He afterward took a course in law at the
University Of Virginia, and was admit
ted to practice in jackson, Tenn, in
1856. Three years later he moved TO
Memphis and engaged in practice. He
served twice as Judge, by appointment,
on the supreme bench of the state. He
returned to jackson in 1876, and was
elected to the Tennessee house of repre-
sentatives as a state credit Democrat in
1880. The same year he was elected to
the United States senate to succeed
James E. Bailey, Democrat, and took
nominated by President Cleveland. and
Immediately confirmed as United States
judge of the Sixth Judicial circuit in
place of Judge John Baxter, deceased.
The nomination came as a great sur
prise on the senate side, and was received
while the senate was in executive ses-
sion. With the exception of a few who
think the president should have ap-
pointed a Republican. the nomination
was well received. There will, it is said
be little, if any, opposition to his con

A PARTY SALUTE.
Congressman Wilson Spends Some Time
with Prssident-Eiect Cleveland.


LAKEWOOD, N. j., Feb. 6.--Congress-
man w. L. Wilson, Of West Virginia,
who came from Washington Saturday
TO consult with Mr.. Cleveland. presuma-
bly, on the prospect of the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase act at this ses-
zion of congress- has had another long
talk with the president.elect Mr.. vii.
son, when asked what were the prospects
Of a silver bill passing both houses of
congress before the end of the present
session, said:
"The chance of a bill passing the
house largely depends upon the commit
tee on rules. They are to report a reso-
luton on Thursday. If the resolution
merely calls up the silver bill for dis
cussion nothing will he accomplished,
as but twenty-four working days remain
and appropriation bills will take con-
siderable of the time. SO that the dis
cussion on silver can be prolonged until
the end Cf the session. If the commit
tee reports a rule requiring final vote
on the silver bill ON certain day and
the house decides to vote on the measure
] am satisfied that the bill will pass the
house. In the senate, however, there is
q sufficient minority against the repeal
of the sherman law TO absolutely pre-
vent the passage of a bill at this session.
Mr.. Cleveland announces that he will
remain here all Of the coming week in
order to dispose of several matters of
importance which have been waiting his
attention for some time.
He desiers that his ordinary mail
shall be directed TO his Office in New
York as il will receive more DrOmpt at
tention there than here. The sudden
death this morning of DR.. w. G. Stone
the physician and friend of the Cleve,
land family, was shock to both Mr.. aud
Mrs. Cleveland.

JUDGE JAcK8oN8 CONFIRMATION
Seems Doubtful, Unless Mr. Cleveland
Comes to the Rescue.

Comes to the Rescue.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The criticism
upon the appointment by President Har-
rison os Judge jackson to succeed the
late Associate Justice Lamar on the su-
preme bench made by Mr.. J. S. Clark
son is the subject of considerable dis
cussiOn among politicians here. The
fact that Mr.. Clarkson had requested
Senator CullOm TO protest against the
confirmation of Judge JacksOns nOmi-
nation added interest to the affair.
1t IS not considered probable by many
of the senators that Judge Jacksons
nomination will be rejected, notwith-
standing that there has arisen considera-
BILE opposition to him among the Demo-
cratic members of the body. They say
Judge jackson is not satisfactory to
them as a party man, and Senator Har-
ris is quoted as having referred to him
as no more Of Democrat than "men on
the other side of the chamber.
One of the presidents friends says
that MIR. ClarksOn's statement that no
other president had ever before ap-
pointed member Of the supreme bench
from the ranks of another political
party is not well founded in fact. He
said the president had the precedent Of
lne uISJ IGGpuDllCdu pTeSlu6uJ lOf MS
nomination Of Judge jackson, that in
1868, President Lincoln nominated Ste
phen ]. Field, Democrat, TO a place on
the bench which Mr.. Field still retains.
He said that the president before making
the nomination was assured that the
confirmation Of Republican was ex-
tremely improbable, and that being the
case he chose to promote a Democrat
who had demonstrated by his decisions
upon the bench that he was a protec-
ZIONIST and a nationalist with big IN. 4"
There had been, he said, more convic-
tions for violations of the federapelec-
tion laws in Judge JacksOn's court than
in any other court in the country. AS a
matter of politics, he continued, in the
circumstances of the case, Judge Jack
sons appointment was most excellent
one. If he were now rejected by the
senate Mr.. Cleveland Of necessity almost
would be compelled to send his name TO
the senate again, thus preventing the
possibility of the nomination of a man
who might be possessed of the unde.
sirable qualifications mentioned by Mr..
Clarkson in his letter cIiticising Presi-
dent Harrison's action.

A Fine Point,

CINcINNATI, Feb. 7.-The attorney
general of the state and local attorneys
are in consultation and the result may
be an application for an instant order tC
sell the property in this state of the
Pennsylvania company. Several years
ago that road bodily took possession Of
Eggleston avenue, one Of the most
valuable streets of the city, and has
ruined it, All efforts to oust it have
failed. Recently the legislature passed
an act to oust the corporation and pro
ceedings were about to begin when the
Pennsylvania on Saturday posted Q
notice refusing all freight. Under 8
state law this vacates the roads righ'
and it may be sold. The states attorney
and local attorneys are now consulting
on this point and will probably bring
proceedings today.

Tins TO the Indian warriors.
Steps are being taken TO suppress the

1t has been evident for several months
that the spirit which led to the outbreak

been made that the government has not
been dealing fairly with the Indians

able as well as bold leader, has been
anxiously watched. In spite of this.

1t Is Referred to the House Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The friends Of
the anti-option bill obtained a victory in
the house yesterday. Although the
speaker decided against them and ruled
that the house could not at present non
concur in the senate amendments and
thus throw the bill into conference
(when a report would become priYi-
leged), the house, notwithstanding the
determined fight of the members Of the
ways and means committee and of the
other opponents Of the bill, referred it
TO the committee on agriculture, which
is favorable TO its passage. And it did
so by large majority-not quite two
thirds, but tapproXimating to it so closely
that it is still a debatable question if a
two-thirds vote is required it could not
be obtained.

passed.
