MR.. TELLER IN A RAGE.
ReSentful Of the Alleged Interfer-
ence of Cleveland.
Senator Vest Speaks for Nobody, but
Takes Up the Cudgels on Be-
half of His Chief.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Tener, In pre-
senting petitions against the repeal of the
Sherman act in the Senate to-day, de-
clared that in his Judgment decided
majority of both sides Of the chamber were
opposed at this time to repeal, and that in
his opinion ii could not be made a capital
question at the next session, whatever
might be the inclin alton Of the incoming
President BE 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 any
where near the incoming Administration.
In conclusion Teller reasserted his con-
fident belief that it was not among the
possibilities that the Sherman act would be
repealed at this session of Congress.
Vest of Missouri felt compelled as a
Democrat to notice what had been said
about the Presdent-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 indiscretion on
Cleveland's part in regard to that or any
other public question. The character of no
public man is safe if he were held RESPONSE
bic for newspaper utterances.
Sherman said whenever he was assured
there was a majority of the Senate in favor
of the bill reported by him to suspend the
purchase of silver bullion he would move 10
take it up.
Gray of Delaware inquired what better
evidence there could be of the disposition of
the Senate than rollcall.
Sherman replied virtually what he had
already said, and added that il was the
right and the duty of any other Senator
Aoffa h. o,,Id ha cd to
move it be taken up. He had taken the
means TO ascertain the sentiments OF the
Senators and was not satisfied that the bill
could be passed at the present session.
Hill of New York said that 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, dur
ing the morning hour. he should move to
take up the bill to which Mr.. Sherman re-
ferred
Mitchell reported from the Judiciary
Committee the bill to pay the awards made
by the Court Of Claims in the French spoil
alton cases.
The House bill to ratfy and confirm the
agreement with the Kickspoo Indians IN
Oklahoma Territory, appropriating S64, $50,
was passed with amendments and confer
ence was asked.
At P. NJ. 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 on
the dead Senator were pronounced by
Daniel, Henderson, Faulkner. Gallinger,
Platt, Mills, Hiscock and Hunton. The
usual resolutions were agreed to- and the
Senate. as further mark Of respect, ad-
journed.

PART CROOKEDNESS.
There Will Be Great Political Sem
SatiOn in Illinois,

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Feb. 3.-The action
of Acting Governor Gill In ordering the
prosecution of ex-Auditor Pavey has ig-
nited q train OF startling events which
threatens far-reachng political eonse-
quences. Acting Governor Gill is under
stood to be only awaiting the outcome of
the various resolutions of investigation now
pending in the House to determine whether

the Attorney General to bring suit in the
name of the State Of Illinois against tue ex-
State Treasurers and their bondsmen for

The Sheriff of Sangamon County to-day

General in the case of Auditor Pavey. and

books and vouchers of the insurance de-
partment. The search was fruitless, and
the ex-AuditOr took occasion to inform the
official that this was a contest which was to
be fougt out TO the last resources of the law.

WILL RULE THE WORLD.
That Is What the Possession of Ha-
Wdii Means,

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-GeneIal S. c. Arm
strong, who was born and spenttwenty- one
years in the Sandwich Islands, writes to
the Post from Summerville, S. c., strongly
urging annexation, saying, among other
things:
Decent civilization at the Hawaiian
Islands is important to the United States,
because Of the very vital strategic position
which they occupy in the center Of the
North Pacific Ocean. The naval power
that has a station there can control the en-
tire commerce Of that part of the world.
The Americans compose a great majority OF
the foreign residents, and own by far most
Of the capital Of that kingdom, and are the
natural heirs OF those Islands should they
fall to a foreign power. While the senti-
ment Of this country Is wisely opposed on
general principles TO an increase of national
territory, it is not wise to blindly and stub
bOTnly object ID the taking Of territory
which lies in a position so vital to Ameri-
can commerce in the future. Ii the
Nicaragua canal is completed. it means the
tremendous growth of American COM
merce in the Pacific. and that in the not
very far future. The United States has now
an opportunity to establish her influence in
the Pacific Ocean. and she ought not to
neglect il"

DOUBTS EXPRESSED.
Frenchmen in Panama Don't Think
America Is Sincere.

PANAMA. Feb. 3.-French agents here ex-
press doubts as to the sincerity Of any pro-
posals which the United States may make
to Colombia. They say the proposals would
be made at the instance OF a transconti-
mental railway company and Senatorial
magnates would soon snap up the franchise,
not with the intention Of constructing
canal, but for the purpose Of rendering i'm
possible its completion. The Colombian
Government hopes that the American courts
will declare valid the purchase of the ma
jorily of the Panama Railroad shares by the
canal company. so that the amount of prop
erty represented by them may revert to
Colombia. 1t is reported the liquidator of
the Panama Canal Company. in the event
OF the lapse of the concession, will plead as
a last resort that the extension granted
Napoleon Bonaparte Wyse is invalid, be-
cause it was never approved by the Tribu-
nal of the Seine, and then claim the exten-
sion under the old agreement.

CANADA'S INTEREST.
1t Is Not Likely TO BE Taken Into the
Account.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Feb. 3.-The Citizen,
the Government organ, speaking editorlalIy
about the trouble in Hawaii, says: Can
ada's interest lies in the fact that the
islands are situated on the direct route
from Canada to Australia, and on the line
of commerce between that country and
Canada. They are an important station In
the British cable system, and it is desirable.
from our point Of view, that if they are not
independent England at all events shall
possess supreme influence there. so Hawaii
may serve as the center from which she can
exercise a surveillance OF the Pacific Ocean.
and also as headquarters for the fleet. II
is TO be hoped that effective measures will
be taken to prevent the United States from
annexing territories which in the future are
likely to be OF so much importance to us.

policy would compel the Supreme Court TO
recognize the Populist as the de facto
House and sustain its laws.
