NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Presidcnt elect
Cleveland came in from Lakewood on the
carly train this morning, and going i'm
mediately to his office, put in tho day see
ing everybody who called. The notice
sent out yesterday by his authority, say
ing that he would not como to his office
after the close of the present week,
probably had the effect OF taking q coed
many people there who might otherwise
have deferred their visits. Persons who
have had an opportunity to learn the
views OF the President elect report him
as manifesting quite as much interest
in the action to BIO taken by Congress on
the silver question as in the selection
OF the remaining members Of his Cabi.
net. lie emphasizes his views on all fit
occasions, and gives everybody, who is
entitled to it, his view Of the issue that he
deems so important, and in the settle
ment of which he thinks the interests
Of the county are so much involved.
Mr.. Cleveland does not put forward
any theories Of his own on this question,
but merely insists that If tho present
policy is continued the business inter
ests OF tho country arc put in serious
peril. Neither does he confine tho OK
preston OF his views to his own party,
but insists that it is tho country that is
menaced as tho result Of the present
condition, and not political party. He
believes that the suspension of silver
purchases under the sherman act will
relieve tho existing situation, restore
confidence in business circles, and
stimulate that enterprise which is so es.
sential to the prosperity of tho country

the Chase National BaSk, and Senator
Jones, Of Nevada. delegates to the
international monetary conference hold
in Brussels, arrived this morning on
board tho steamship La Gascogne, OF
the French line, from Harve.
Mr.. Cannon said, in an interview: 81
think the conference has amply vindi-
Gated the policy OF the United States
Government in taking the initiative
action OF which 1t was the result. The
reports OF the meeting seem to have
aroused widespread interest in tho
theory OF a bimetallic currency. Par
ticularly is this true in England. where
majority of the public sentiment seems
to be in favor OF the FREQ use of silver.
l think full report of the proceedings
OF the conference will be ready within
two or three weeks.
Senator Allison. chairman of the
American delegates, will probably call
meeting at Washington within the
next few days to make report, which
will be submitted with transcript Of
the proceedings of the conference. The
next session OF the conference may be n
protracted one, as the questions in
volved are not easy of solution, and will
require care and timo to properly con-
slider them. The agitation OF tho mat
ter is very beneficial, however, and tho
general interest taken in tho proceed
lngs of the conference is good sign"
Senator Jones said that he was very
we'll satisfied with the result of tho SOS
sion OF the conference.

The crusade of the ministers and the
ladies of the Woman's Christian Tom
perance Union against the saloons con-
tinues with undated interest.
A large crowd attended the meeting

school room of the First Presbyterian
Church. Every Woman's Christian
Temperance Union in the city was rep-
resented. The ministers present were
Revs. Campbell, Hammer, Groves, AGREE
and Anderson.
order and asked DR.. Campbell to lead in
prayer. The invocation was an earnest
and elective one, touching mainly upon
the curses of tho saloon and asking for
grace and power 10 resist their further
epcroachments upon the residence por-
tions of the city, and the pulling down
of everything that is evil, the building
up of everything good
Tho chairman then explained tho
object of the meeting, which was, he
said, to confer with the committee ap-
pointed on Monday to employ an
attorney to represent the opposition to
saloons in cases that come before the
excise board and the courts. Judge A.
E. King was recommended to tho COM
mittee as being, perhaps, the most
suitable man to employ. Judge King
was highly eulogized by the ministers
present. The question OF raising the
necessary funds for carrying on this
warfare was next discussed, and the
plan finally agreed upon is to allow tho
w. G. II. U. to appro pirate as much of
their funds as they can spare, and in
case there should be deficit collec-
ton will be taken at each of the several
churches 10 meet it.
The presidents Of the different w.
L. u. 8 in the city were then asked il
they had any objection to that kind of
an arrangement, and thu Central repro
sentative responded that they would
freely divide their funds to carry on this
work. The representative of the Sam
Jones Union said they would respond
heartily, and the West END Union pro
missed to chip in their full share of the
necessary money because they were
lighting this thing in dead earnest
Rev. DR.. Cam pbell then made short
speech in which he declared that it was
pity that Christian people had to re-.
sort to this method Of getting rid of the
saloons. but there is no other way. ut
is just thrust upon us," he said.
The ladies were all requested to at
tend the trial of tho Jones case, which
was appealed from the Hastings Court
to the Circuit Court.
They accepted the invitation and pro-
missed to attend in full force. The meet
ing then adjourned.
After adjournment TIMES reporter
said to Row. DR.. AGREE, of the Calvary
Baptist Church:
do you regard your prospect of sue
cess in the coming fight as very hope
ful?"
'Oh, yes!" replied that gentleman.
I'VE have got to fight them. If we
don't we have got to give up. but IiI
tell you now that gang is like white
elephant to tackle, But we have all
gotten tired OF this thing of allowing
saloons to break up homes, make paupers
and distress, and then we preachers
have to go and straighten it up"
From his words il is evident that
there is no giye-up in the band that mas
been mustered.

PITrsBURG, Jan. 3i.-Death came in n
terrible form to q party OF pleasure
seekers on their way to attend dance

OF highly res pected farmers living near
Latrobe, were killed, and William

ure lay along the railroad track, and to-
gether they set out on their journey.
Light'hearted and gay with the exuber-
ant enjoyment. tho members of the
party were walking along interestedly
chatting with each other when as they
were passing the Loyslhanna Coal
Works, freight train came along on
the eastbound track. At the same in
stsnt the limited express speeded along
on the track on which they were walk
ing. In second the train was upon
them. The three young men had been
few feet in advance OF the others and
their bodies were lying bruised and
bleeding on the rails. Their compan-
ions had managed to jump aside as the
engine swept by, thereby saving them-
selves.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The British
government has instructed Sir Julian
Pauncefote, it's minister here. to protest
against the action of the United States
officials and forces in Hawaii The pro-
test, 1T is understood, was lodged with
Secretary of State Foster to-day.
10 what extent the protest goes can
not be stated now-whether it is re-
stricted to protest against the action
already taken in Honolulu or whether it
goes to the length of protesting in adj
vance against annexation sought for by
the representatives OF tho provisional
government now on their way to Wash
ington.
In tho Senate yesterday Mr.. Chandler
offered the following resolution and
asked immediate action upon it:
Resolved by the Senate (the House
OF Representatives concurring), That
the President enter into negotiations
with tho present provisional governments
of the late kingdom Of Hawaii for tho
admission Of the islands as a territory
into the United State, and to lay any
convention which he may make before
Congress for ratification by the legisla-
tive branch OF the Government"
The Senate has taken up to-day Mr..
Chambers resolution requesting tho
President to transmit to the Senate any
convention he may make with the pro-
visionsl government of Hawaii, and MIR.
Chandler is discussing It,
Mr.. Chandler moved reference of the
resolution to the committee on foreign
relations. Mr.. Dolph made long state
ment on tho subject giving details as to
the popul atlon, commerce, ETC., of the.
islands and favoring annexation.
The reeolu ton was laid aside without
action.
Representative Harmer, OF Pennsyl-
vania, momber Of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs, said to-day:
VI approve of the steps already taken
by the representatives of the United
States at Honolulu, as it prevented the
government Of Great Britain from as.
Stunning protectorate over the islands,
which would have resulted in the abso-
lutte possession in the near future. If
to avoid this we were compelled to ac-
cept the proposition of annexation at
once | would favor it. Our govern
ment should look at its own interests
first, which Great Britain never fails
to do"
Represen tative Sanford (Republican)
introduced in tho House to-day the fol-
lowing resolution for reference to the
proper committee:
Resolved, BY tho House of Repre-
sentatives Of the United States that it
is the sense OF this body that tho time
has now como whom tho preservation OF
tho extension Of our commerce and tho
unfolding of our flag demand that
prompt action be taken by this govern
ment looking toward the immediate
annexation OF tho Hawaiian Islands to
the United States"

Company has compelled the last named
company to reduce it's passenger rate
from 500 to $50, and its freight rate

OF this action will be grasped when it
is considered that it is eight days jour
neY to the isthmus. This commercial
war gains additional significance from
the alleged fact that the management
OF the Panama Railroad Company has
