bate now as to whether the present
Haws ian government was rightly or
wrongly established nearly twelve
months ago. Tie issue directly before
the House is, whether to approve and
commend the course of the present ad-
ministration, disclosed by itself. If the
president, without the consent of the
Senate, can send a paramount diplo-
matte officer to supersede q, minister,
leaving the latter only routine duties,
he may do it in Great Britain or in
Germany, as well as Hawaii. That Of
If1cer, according to the presidents APP
ologists, is only the presidents COM
missioner and not an officer in the dip
lomatic service of the United States.
The same right asserted here to ap-
point an ambassador under the name
of commissioner, would allow the presi-
dent TO appoint any agent of his own,
without conference with any other
branch of the government, to exercise
judicial functions paramount to judges
already in Office by and with the SEN
ate's consent It is a significant fact
that thus far no reason in either
house. Of Congress has been introduced
approving the opinion of the secretary
of state or endorsing the presidents
action. If the administration purpose
to reinstate the queen is right, Con-
gress must carry it out, for the presi-
dent has at last shuffied his policy off
his hands to be acted on by the legis-
lative branch of our government
When the majority are prepared to
fulfill the presidents behests, it must
propose legislation. Untilst is done,
the country must take for granted the
president is not to be approved by his
party
After a review and consideration of
the course of this administration, as
appears from its own records, the mi
nority of your committee have no
hesitation in recommending the adop-
ton of the following substitute for the
resolution reported by the majority:
Whereas, The executive communica-
ions to Congress disclose that the
executive department has been furnish
ing minister plenipotentiary of the
United States secret instructions to
conSplre with the representative and
agents of a discarded monarchy for
the overthrow of a friendly republican
government. duly recognized by all the
civilized nations and to which said
minister was accredited, and to which
his public instructions pledged good
faith and the sympathy of the presi-
dent and government and people of the
United States,
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this House that any such intervention
by the executive of the United States.
its civil or military representatives or
officers, without the authority of Con
gress, is q. dangerous and unwarranted
invasion of the rights and dignities of
the Congress of the United States and
a violation of the law of nations, and
further, that the manner of such at
tempted intervention by the executive
and the methods used are unworthy
the executive department of the Unit
ed States, while the confessed interest
Of such intervention is contrary to the
policy and tradition of the republic and
spirit of the Constitution"

Boston. Dec sO.-Prcsident Reinhart
said today there was no foundation for
the report from London that a 25 or 10 per
cent. assessment on Atchison stock was
contemplated. He gave no hint as to the
plan to be pursued. but said the restora-
ton of Atchison was not far distant All
the statements that the company will be
reorSanized and most of the branches cut
off is absolutely without foundation. Many
large holders of securities have indicated
a desire. to assist the management in the

arrangements with nearly all the holders

sacrifice Of the collaterals and secures
the same for the company. This will

American Railway management Cri-
ticised by the Economist.


London, Dec SO.-In an article on
the Atchison complications, the Econo-
mist condemns the mana cement of
American railways generally and refer
ring to the balance sheets, asks why
the directors do not state the case
Economist says it does not. know unless
it better suits the purpose to keep the
shareholders entirely in the dark The
Economist says: 1--WE are loath to
make such a charge against the Ameri-
can officials, yet are compelled TO be-
lieve it or else the whole system of
finance adopted is wrong. No wonder
the investors on this side are disguised
with such chicanery. They need to en-
joy an absolute superfluity of faith or
/ credulity to believe any longer in the
honesty Of most American railway
managements.'

Central Pacific railroad. says of the

Pacific guaranteed dividend on the

Pacific does not guarantee any divi-

/ Whether the Central Pacific's usual
programme will be declared in Febru-
airy depends on the proposals which
will be made by the Union Pacific for

Boise. Ida, Dec. S0-[speciaI. 1.-THE fig
ures of Idahos metal production for
1893, prepared by Alfred Eoff. cashier
of the Boise City National bank, for
Wells. Fargo & Co., are as follows:
Gold, s1,645,OOO; silver, 81, 500. 900; lead.
s775,oOO; total, 1892. OOO The figures
last year were: Gold. 81, 79O, 900; sill
yer. S2793, 600; lead, FLATS, 900; total.
S7,063,000- Lead is figured at $3.50 this
year, last year at 81 Silver at 20 cents,
81 last year. The great increase for the
year is largely in the Occur dAlene
where the mines have been closed
down much of the time. even more
than last year The production of that
section last year under the adverse
conditions created by labor troubles
was s3.428, 500. while for the year Just
closing it was only S1,375, 600 The
closing Of the. mines carrying silver
mainly. with some gold, has largely
reduced the gold production. but it has
been partly compensated for by the
opening up of placer ground in many
locations which heretofore were not
considered worth working.
