Mrs. Vest-"And a bounty for sugar;
but see that the autocrat of the Haw-
allan Isands-Minister Stevens-says
that it ought TO be rednced to S12 ton.
II is not strange that in all this furOre
OF jlngOism, we hear nothing OF the
Hawaiian Commercial Company, as is it
called, an immense corporation, sixty
per cent of whose assets consists in
sugar plantations on the Hawaiian ISL
andS, and the stock Of which is owned
almost entirely by Claus Spreckels.
That stock to-day is selling at nomi-
nal figure; but if annexation takes
place millions on millions will be put in
the pockets OF the men who owns this
stock. The Senator from New Hamp-

The next reserved amendment was
one striking out of the provision that
no money shall be used for warrants or
arrests or prosecutions under the inter
nal revenue laws, the words "or the
laws relating to the election Of mem

sion concerning the merits and demerits

Mr.. Hill opposed the amendment, and
replied to Mr. Hiscock's remarks in IA
vor OF Davenport. 1t was rather late
day, Mr.. Hill said, to endeayor to white
wash MIR. Davenport, and it had proved
TO be a very difficult task on the part of
his colleague. His colleague had spoken
of arrests OF Illegal voters by Davenport
in the brothels OF New York. He (Mr
HID did not know about that, as he
had not investigated the brothels OF the
city OF New York as his colleagues.

mony last summer, showing that Mr..
Davenport had received money for the
purpose of aiding justice, and said that
he would not offend his colleague by
calling il bribery.
Mr.. Hill referred to q case where
judicial officer had been removed for
taking money as Mr.. Davenport had
done; 'and the man who removed him,
said ne, "was Grover Cleveland, the
President OF the United States"
This sentence was applauded by some
Democratic Senators aHd by persons in
the gallery, and the applause was re-
proved by the presiding officer (Mr.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 16.-
The session Of the Senate to-day was
occupied in the consideration OF the
suDdry civil appropriation bill. An
amendment involving the continuance
Of the office Of supervisor OF elections
gave rise 10 a long and heated political
discussion.
After some routine business the Sen
ate took up the suudry civil bill. Ia
the course of the discussion Mr.. Vest
alluded TO the depleted condition OF the
Treasury. What, he asked. was the
spectacle now preSedted 10 the COun-
try. The Secretary of the Treasury
was found in Wall street begging like
an Italian mendicant for gold from the
banks Of the country in order to sustain
the public credit. And it was openly
avOwed by distinguished statesmen,
who were making history and a repu-
tatiOD FOR the future, that their object
was 90 tide over the next two weeks so
as 20 leave the present diSgraceiul con-
ditlou OF financial affairs on the coming
administration OF Mr.. Cleveland. What
ever might be Mr.. Cleveland'S faults as
an administrative officer, or as 4 poiiti-
cal leader, he left net surplus of $780,
600, 600 in the Treasury.
The other day the distinguished SEN
ator from New Hampshire (Mr Chand-
ler) proposed legislation prohibiting
immigration for twelve months: first,
because the immigration was of such a
character as TO threaten the moral and
political welfare of the country. and
secondly, because of the danger Of the
the introduction OF Asiatic cholera.
But scarcely had the Senator's elo-
Quence ceased 10 reverberate when a
dispatch came from San Francisco stat
ing that emiSSarieS Of 4 revolutionary
government in Hawaii were on their
way 70 Washington for the purpose Of
asking annexation to the United States.
And 10 was also made known 10 the
American people that that revolution
had been accomplished, peaceably; that
a "tOwn meeting" had been called: and,
on this information (meagre as it was)
the Senator from New Hampshire
rushed frsntically into the Senate
chamber scarcely waiting 70 the
conclusion Of the morning prayer,
aud offered resolutions for the i'm
mediate and unconstitutional annexa-
tlon If the Hawaiian islands-with
their 10000 inhabitants, about 1000 Of

1t was finally agreed that they would

BRIGHTER FOR O'DONNELL.
The Opinion In Court Circles is That
the Defense Has Decidedly the Best of
tho Gaze

The Opinion In Court Circles is That
the Defense Has Decidedly the Best of
the Gaze.
PITTsBURG, PA, February 16.-The
defense 10 the O'Donnell case was open
ed this morning by Attorney Cox. He
said the defense would admit that there
was riot at Homestead, and also admit
the language Of the commonwealth that
it was most dastardly and unfortunate
affair. They Will offer no justification
for the acts of the parties assembled
there. but they will justify
hugh O'DonnelPs presence there
and the presence OF any other
man concerned who was there 10 pre-
serve peace. The defense will show, he
said, that O'Donnell's entire time was
taken up IN keeping the I'd back and
urging the people to cease rioting. In
the afternoon he exhorted the rioters TO
cease their murderous work, was the
first man to offer protection to the men
on the barges, and for many weeks
after bore on his body bruises received
in his endeavor to protect the Pinker-
tons from the infuriated mob.
A number Of witnesses were then eX-
amined, and their testimony in brief
was that the defendant had advised the
people to keep away from the river
bank, and ordered them 10 stop firing.
DR.. Purman, of Homestead, testified
that ODonnell came TO his house about
) O'Clock on the morning OF the riot
with three wounded men. A big crowd
gathered around, and O'Donnell went
ont and asked them to go home and not
90 to the mill again. Later he saw the
defendant urging some strikers to go
home. One OF them said:
lyon leaders are all damned cow
ards. You have sneaked away from the
mill as soon as the trouble began"
O'DonLel turned TO the man and said:
There are no leaders in this business;
you men are all acting for yourselves. J"
The men were quarrelng with O'Don-
nell because he wanted the fight
stopped. A numter OF witnesses cor
roborated DR.. Purman.
President Garland OF the Amalga-
mated Association said he asked O'DOn-
nell that afternoon If the fight could
not be stopped, and the defendant said:
God knows / have been doing my best
TO stop il all day and can't.
Just then a man passed them carrying
gun. O'Donnell stopped him and
urged him not to go the shore as the
fight should stop. The man replied
MANY OF our friends have been killed
by these men, aud they are still shoot
ing at US. How are we going to stop
it?"
Mrs. O'Donnell testified that her hus'
band left home about 4 o'clock that
morning, and after several character
witnesses had been called, court sd-
journed.
O'Donnell will be put on the stand
himself tomorrow, aud will be the last
witness for the defense. II is expected
that his examination will be a lengthy
one, but the case will undoubtedly go 10
the Jury In the afternoon.
The general impression in court cir
cles is that the defense has much the
best Of the case. O'DonnePs face has
lighted up wonderfully since the com
monwealth closed and the lines OF anx-
iety which were so plainly visible on
the face Of his wife were disappearing
rapidly to-day.

By an almost unanimous vote the
proposition was endorsed. The Gov
ernor, after reading the communication,
said he was not fully satisfied as to the
legal points in the proposition, and
would not give an answer until to-mor-
row morning at Q o'clock, as he wished

In the meantime, he promised that the
Republicans should not be molested,
but advised them not to adjourn.
Half Of the members left the House
for supper while the other half guarded
the hall until the return of the brothers
in arms. All was very quiet.at : o'clock,

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 10
The parting dinner given to Senator
Carlisle tonight by his late associates
in the Senate at the Arlington Hotel
was memorable affair in more ways
than one. The dinner itself was the
best that could be served, and the COM
pany included almost the entire Senate.
President, pro tenn, Manderson pre-
sided in the absence of Vice President
Morton, who later in the evening ap-
peared and made happy little speech.
To Mr.. Manderson's right was Mr.. Car
Isle, the guest OF the evening.
The speeches both of the chairman
and of the guests were excellent. Mr..
Voorhees,, of Indiana, in respond
ing TO the toast "rhe President
of the United States" passed
an unexpected eulogy upon
President Harrison, saying that he hal
known him about forty years; they had
practiced law together, and that he ad-
mired his industry and courage and in
tegrity. He believed his foreign policy
would pass into history and challenge
the admiration Of the world.
lie closed with some pathetic allu-
slons 10 the Presidents bereavements,
aud with the statement that the PreSi-
dent retired from Office with the sin
cere well wishes Of the American peo-
pie for his future success.
Mr.. Manderson, in proposing the
health of Mr. Carlisle, referred to the
lessons Of history, which showed that
jefferson, Madison, Monroe and John
Quincy Adams had all stepped from the
Treasury to the White House and
asked who knows but that history may
repeat itself.
Mr.. Sherman was called upon to sup
pleuent the toast. He strongly eulo-
gized Mr.. Carlisle's fairness and impair
tiality, but added with q significance:
II hope Mr.. Manderson has not inspired
him with hope that he will rise from
the position to which he has been as
signed, and which l can assure him
from personal experience is by no means
a bed Of roses, 10 another honorable
path OF ambition"
Mr.. Carlisle, in rising to respond, was
greeted with a warmth that manifestly
affected him. He carefully avoided
touching upon any questions affecting
financial policy Of the next adminlstra-
tion although Senator Stewartand 9th
ers were obviously on the watch fO7
some indication that they could lay
hold Of.
Aside from his personal thanks, which
were very effectively spoken, Mr.. Car
Isle directed the remainder OF his re
marks 10 a discussion Of the growing
non bipartisan character OF the Senate.
He spoke OF the Senate as being in the
person OF each individual Senator. the
representatives OF the whole people OF
each State, and not Of any one political
party.
