HARRITY'S LETTER.
1t Was Sent Out on the Chairman's
Own Responsibility.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.-ConcerD-
ing the letter sent out by Chairman
William F. Harrity. of the Democratic
national committee, for the purpose of
ascertaining the probable attitude of
the Democratic members of the house
Of representatives Of the next congress
who are not members of the present
congress, and who have not voted upon
the question of the repeal of the Sher-
mau silver purchase act, MI. Harrity
said, when asked about it:
ut is evident that some of our friends
are unduly exercised about the letter
sent out by me. The letter contained
no expression of opinion and made no
by any of the Democratic representa-
tives in congress. Neither was it sent
to such members of congress. 1t was
only sent to members of the Democratic
national committee and the chairman
of tue Democratic state central COM
mittee and was sent with the view of
learning as far as practicable the
position of Democratic representatives
upon question, the final disposition of
which means much to the country, as it
does to the Democratic party. The let
ter was sent out on my own responsi.
bllity, and the suggestion that it was
done at Mr.. Cleveland's request is with
out foundation. 1t was given to the
newspapers at Washington, but for
what purpose do not know. However,
l believe its publication will do no
harm, but OH the contrary, it1s likely
to be all advantage"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-There will be
an extra session of congress. Congress
man Hal, after careful canvass of the
members of the house. is satisfied that
the bond amendment to the Sundry civil
bill will not pass, and that the condition
Of the treasury Is such that an extra
session will be the necessity. Today
Secretary Foster expressed confidence
In the ability Of the administration to
tide over the next eight days, but this
confidence was absent when he learned
that $1,000, 900 in gold had been secured
at New York for export tomorrow. This
leaves but $1,20O,000 free gold in the
treasury, and IS the lowest point reached
so far. When President Cleveland
turned over the government four years
ago, there was nearly $100,00O,000 gold
above the reserve for the redemption of
greenbacks. The situation has assumed
such grave aspect that there is little
doubt expressed in congressional circles
that the disastrous Sherman silver law
can be quickly repealed at an extra SEES
sion. Congressman Hall said this even
ing:
1.-The country is now reaping the
penalty of the policy pursued and advo-
Gated by John Sherman. If S20,00O,0OO
in greenbacks were presented for re-
demption tomorrow, nothing could pre-
vent panic. | shall not vote for the
bond amendment for the simple reason
that the secretary now has authority to
issue bonds at per cent, and the amend
ment reduces the rate to 3. L have no
patience with such a policy. | do not
believe in a man borrowing money with
which to pay his debts"

UsURPED BY STEVENS.
United States Troops Only Uphold
the Authority of HaWaiis
New Government.
Strong Feeling of Hostility to the
Hawaii Treaty Among
Representatives.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The World pub
fishes the text of the precision on the
Hawaiian situation, furnished to the
state department by the eX-Queen'S en-
voy, Paul Neumann. He says:
The wishes of the natives as to the
alteration of the constitution were con-
fined to the following points: First. the
restoration of the power of the sovereign
to appoint a certain number of mobiles.
Second, the diminuition of property
qualification of electors. Third, restrIc-
ton OF the elective franchise tol1awaiian
citizens, except as to such aliens who
had granted to them the franchise by
the constitution of 1887. Fourth, in
crease of the salary of the representa-
tives. Fifth, reduction of the term of
the justices of the supreme court from a
life tenure to tenure for fixed num-
Der of years.
The native population, as we'll as a
great number of foreign-born tax payers
and voters, yielded the power which
they could have maintained, only be-
cause they believe that the movement
of the committee of safety is upheld by
the authorities of the United States of
America"
He adds as to subsequent events:
1.-THE provisional government declared
martial law and armed, among others.
the vagrant and criminal element in the
population, prescribed free speech aud
discussion. suppressed native newspa-
pers and established practical censor
ship of the newspapers published in
English, permitting only such state
ments as might be favorable to itself to
appear, and -disbursed large sums of
public money without authority of law.
This state of things was only possible
by the armed support of the United
States troops ashore and the guns of
the United States war ship Boston
trained on the town. The usurpation of
authority would not have lasted an hour
without such armed support and ell
enlargement by the United States min
ister."
WASHINGTON, Feb. PA very strong
feeling of hostility to the Hawaiian
treaty is entertained by some of the
leading members of the house Of rep
resentatives. 1t Is probable that the
closing hours of congress Will witness a
lively debate over the rights of the
house in this matter, with declaratory
resolution that no territory should be
acquired by this country without the
approval of both houses of congress
The movement started with Democratic
members, but some Republicans are in
clined to take the same view of the mat
ter, and to join in voting for reSolu-
ton of the character proposed.

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 24.-The house
passed ''valued policy" bill today with
only one dissenting vote. This is SIM
liar to the Wisconsin law; also bill
compelling railroads to put in connect
ing tracks at junction points; also en-
towering public examiner to examine
private banks; also defeated primary
election bill; also defeated bill COM
polling railroads to build loading plat
forms at all stations. The house con-
Cured in the senate amendments to the
divorce bill, which makes six months
residence necessary where personal
service can be secured, and one year
where service is secured by advertise
ment. The bill now goes to the govern
or. A prohibition furry was had in the
senate this afternoon on the adoption
of a report in favor Of a
bill making it easier for druggists to
sell liquor. On the vote the lines were
closely drawn between the Prohibition
lists and resubmisSiOnStS, and the vote
on the bill was considered test. The
vote stood twenty to tWenty-one against
the bill, with Two absentees, whogwould
have made no change in the result.
The Prohibitionists claim victory, but
the opposition do not concede that it
was test vote, and claim majority
for resubmission. The situation in the
house remains unchanged on this ques-
ton, and another vote may not be taken
before Monday. Both houses are eX-
tremely close and doubtful. Tomorrow
afternoon maximum freight rate bill
is up as a special order.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-The Duluth
and Superior bridge contract has at last
been Strengthened out, and in case the
opportunity presents itself the two
bridge bills will be passed. The diff
Guilty between Congressman Haugen
and the Duluth Transfer company was
settled at a conference which ended
this morning in a harmonious agree
ment. MeSSrS. Mendenhall, Hartley,
Willard and SimOnds, representing the
Duluth Transfer company, met Con-
gressmen Haugen and Lind, aud, after
discussing the details of the matter, the
Wisconsin member offered to withdraw
his amendment to the Grassy Point pill,
providing the transfer company would
make no opposition to the bill intro
duced by Congressman Halvorseh,
for bridge between Connor's and
Rice's points. The latter is the
Duluth Superior Bridge company's
bill. Both of these measures are
now before the committee in their
original forms, and both are to be
passed if possible. This agreement is
Tue result VI the poSIClOl ldheH ny MdJ.
Baldwin in opposition to the amended
bill for the Grassy Point bridge. In
both of these bills there are provisions
allowing the cities of Duluth and Supe-
riOr to purchase the bridges at any time
by paying the actual cost, with per
cent interest on the money. On account
Of the fight that will likely be made
over the Sherman bond amendment to
Lhe sundry civil bill, there is hardly
possibility of these bills going through;
but, as both Maj. Baldwin and Con-
gresham Haugen will sit in the next
congress, there is no reason why they
should not be passed shortly after the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Speaker Crisp
has in his private drawer IN the rules
committee room number of plans out
lining on paper suggested changes IN
the appearance of the hall of the house

gress, will be entitled to seats in the

the fathers of the most radical plan.
They are In favor of seating the mem
bers on benches, as is done in the
English parliament, and Of removing

sentatives. The plan, however, which
is likely to be adopted for the next con-
gress. at least,is simpler than any of the
others. 1t merely proposes to remove

of Whiskies.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Louis Abra.
ham, Washington lawyer, today testi-
fed before the committee investigating
the whisky trust that the. adulteration
and sale of imitation goods was on the
increase. This business caused large
loss to the government. The imitation
goods paid all internal revenue tax of
about 90 cents a gallon. The imported
paid about $3.50 a gallon. The output
of these limitations decreased the I'M
portation, and the government lost the
difference between the internal revenue
and the import duty.
Deputy Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Wilson spoke of the privileges
of rectihers and said that the present
laws did not require them to report the
amount of essences, essential oils. ETC.,
used in compromising and mixing.
Mr.. Bynum asked if witness could
suggest some change in the law to pro-
Iect consumers against compounded
goods.
Mr.. Wilson replied that the law could
be so changed as to require all such
goods to be stamped. A stamp could be
placed on each bottle to show whether
or not it was compounded.
