THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Strong Sentiment in Favor Of
Hawaii's Annexation.
HARRISON MUST HEAR BOTH SIDES.

Senator HilI's Motion to Proceed to Con-
sideration of tho Bill for Repeal of the
Sherman Silver Purchasing Act De-
f~ated-Special Panama Investigating
Committee Begins Operations.
WASHINGTON, Feb. mo information
of a definite character can be expected
concerning the Hawaiian question until
after the conference to-day between the
Annexation Commissioners and the Sec
rotary of State.
1t is expected that the Secretary of
State will announce to-day the date for
the presentation of the commission to the
President.
This will probably take place after to-
morrow, because the Administration de-
sires to wait until after that date to hear
once more from Minister Stevens.
The next steamer from Honolulu is due
at San Francisco on Feb. 8, and it is ex-
pected to bring dispatches from the Uni
ted States Minister telling of the condi-
ton of things in the islands after the
departure of the annexation commission
ers, and also the acts of the provisional
government.
OF course these dispatches will be
telegraphcd at once from San Francisco
and Will be of much Importance in the
conferences.
The Commissioners have now como to
the conclusion that a decision cannot b
reached until after Feb. 10.
The President has decided that he must
hear both sides of the case, and the Sec
rotary of State will wait the arrival Of
the Queens special messenger, Mr.. Neu-
man, who is also due in San Francisco on
Feb 8.
The Qneen, after being dethroned, de-
cided to send to the United States her
own messenger, and let him bring in per-
son her protest to the President. The
provisional government had appointed
| her minister, DR.. Mott Smith, its minis
ter, and so she was without a representa-
1 tive here.
Mr.. Neuman has been close to the Queen
| during the last year or so, and Is able to
| plead her cause.
He is expected to arrive in Washington
about Feb. 10, and, if he desires it, DR..
Mott Smith will present him to the Sec
rotary of State, but more than this the
L Hawaiian Minister will not act in the ex-
Queens service
The attitude of the Administration,
which first favored a protectorate gov
| eminent, since the arrival of the Hawai-
ian Commissioners has changed to one
| favoring immediate annexation.
President Harrison has always looked
upon protectorate as merely a prelim-
mary step toward annexation. The ex-
pressions of opinion in Congress have
made it evident that, despite the brief
time remaining between now and Marc h
4, it may be easily possible to pass the
bill providing for annexation.
Not since the controversy with Chill
has there been so marked an absence OF
snerely partisan feeling upon any subject
as that of the acquisition Of the Sand
witch Islands. This concurrence of opin
ion has removed the chief objection tt
the immediate annexation of the islands,
| in so far as it has seemed to make it pos
sible to pass the requisite bill through
both branches of Congress within the
| next four weeks.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

Senator Hills Motion Defeatcd-Filibus-
terinE in the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Mr. Kilgore, of
Texas, began tiIibustering motions in the
House, but after a long fight, found him
self in hopeless minority, and was
obliged to surrender. Later, however,
Mr. Kilgore and Mr.. Burroughs sue
cecded in preventing action on any meas
ure before adjournment.
The proceedings of the Senate were OF
a character at once interesting and i'm
portant. The junior Senator from New
York, Mr.. Hill, made the motion Of
which he had given notice last Friday
to proceed to the consideration of the
bill to repeal the Sherman Silver Pur-
chase Act.
In support of the motion he delivered
| carefully prepared speech in which he
\ declared himself Internationally friend
| of free bimetallio coinage.
The SIP sch received unusual attention
from Senators, from Members who had
| como over from the House to hear 1t, and
| from a large audience in the galleries,
but the motion was defeated by nearly a
two thirds majority-the vote being:
Yeas, %; nays AZ.
Afterwards the Quarantine bill was
taken up and passed without division;
also bill for the payment out of the
| Treasury of local taxes on lands held by
Indians in severalty.

GRIFFIN THE WINNER.

by Defeating Murphy He Is Feather
weight Champion of the World.
New York, Feb. 7.-Johnny Griffen
last night became the feather-weight
champion of the world by defeating Billy
Murphy in seven rounds in the arena of
the Coney Island Athletic Club.
The fight was one of the fercest ever
seen in the Clubs rooms, and toward the
close of the seventh round Griffen, who
had been doing most of the leading,
landed a terrific left-hand punch in Muir
phys stomach.
The Australian went prone upon his
face and rolled upon his back. Despite
the fact that he was stunned, he rolled
over and attempted to rise, but fell back
again helpless.
"Kid" Hogan of Brooklyn and 'Dolly"
Lyons of New York furnished the entree
of the evening and put up rattling good
mill 1t served to enthuse the specta-
tors and prepared them for the event Of
the night. Hogan was the better man al
the end, but Lyons did most of the lead
ing and was awarded the decision.

COL. sINN's DIVORCE SUIT.
DE-. Farlan Knew Nothing of Cora Tanners
Action Against Him.

NEW York, Feb. THE suit of Col.
VIM. F. Sim, proprietor of the Park
Theater, Brooklyn, against Cora Tanner
Sim, was called for trial yesterday by
Judge Clement in the Special Term of
the City Court.
The suit is brought by Col Sim to an
null his marriage to Cora Tanner, on the
ground that when he married her she
had another husband living, from whom
she had not obtained a divorce.
Lawyer John l. Hill appeared for Col.
Sim, and Robert H. Griffin was on ha nd
to look after the defendants interests.
Mr.. Griffin asked that the suit be post
poned for two weeks, saying that issue in
the case had only been made on Dec. 90,
and he did not have time to collect his
testimony and get ready for the suit.
This was opposed by Mr.. Hill, who said
that the plaintiff had brought the first
husband from the other end of the State
and that they believed he should not be
obliged to come such distance again, an
on that account he urged that the case go
on.
DR.. G. Fred Farlan of Rochester was
called to the stand The witness, a large,
stout man, with a heavy dropping mus
tache and drawing way of talking,
was sworn and testified:
II have not seen Cora Tanner for 10
years, but recognize the picture now
shown me as hers. We only lived to.

The case was then indefinitely contin.
ued, two days notice on either side being
granted to bring it up again.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE fire which
destroyed the double five-story tenem ent
house, No. 423 West Thirty-ninth street,
yesterday afternoon, caused the death OF

" The fire started from an explosion in
the cellar and spread very quickly through
the entire building.
There were 20 families in the building,
and the 100 people who were on the upper
floors can not tell how they managed to
escape.
Many were hurt in the frenzied strug-
gle for vantage ground. Most of them
descended to the ground by means Of the
scaling ladders which were put up by the
| firemen.
All efforts to rescue the gas insp ector,
who was in the cellar when the exp losior
occurred, failed. The fire burned fiercely
for an hour and every floor was ablaze.
The tenants saved nothing but the
clothing they had on.
The loss on the building Is $50, 900.
