Representative SAKE Has No Fears of
Uncle Rob.
The New Haven Leaders special
legislative correspondent tells of a funny
scene in the lobby of the house, Thurs
day. A blind musician had been given
permission to play there after the ad,
iournment, and the members gathered
around and sang. Among others Jolly .s
John SAKE, Of Waterbury,, sang tne
cardboard Watch" and just as he
finished Mrs r. S. Human came out OF
her husbands office.
"Pshaw," tsaidj-she, 81 came out to
hear you and you've stopped singing"
The gallant SAKE took big breath
and siding up to Mrs Human clasped
her to his broad bosom and sang "When
| Behold Thee from the Mascot"
Uncle Rob had to laugh, and so did
his wife, while the audience reared, the
typewriter girls giggled and the gallery
applauded. This thrilling scene was
the last act of the concert. The good
natured crowd broke up, and the usual
sedate quiet of the legislative halls de-
scended like curtain on the picture.

NAUGATUCK. June 12.-The stoppage
of work on the new factory for the
United States Rubber company, through
orders from the head Of the trust, was
a big surprise to almost every body in
town. 1t is probable that the tightness
of the money market had something to
do with it. With the large investments
the company would be liable for, it Is
reasonable to suppose that the work
will soon be resumed, although the
Wales Lines company have boarded up
the workshops.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, June IA fashion
ably dressed woman created consider
able excitement in the cathedral here
yesterday by making elaborate prepare
tions to kill Archbishop Hennessy. Just
as the morning service began a woman
about so years of age entered the build
ing and went at once to the sanctuary
of the cathedral. Chancellor Burke
tried to induce her to leave the holy
quarters, but she refused and rather
than make a disturbance she was al.
lowed to remain. AS one of the fathers
arose she began shouting and went at
once to the archbishop and knelt down
before him to offer prayer. She was re.

bishop in the presence of two priests,
She came from Clement, Iowa, to dc

Throat and May Die.
John Haynes, of Hartford, cut his
throat Saturday evening and now lies in
critical condition at the hospital
Young Haynes has been crazy for some
time and lately the trouble seemed to
grow worse. About 1870 o'clock Satur-
day evening, while left temporarily
alone, he went into the cellar and cut a
frightful cash straight across his throat,
all but severing the windpipe. The
larger blood vessels were not touched,
but Haynes bled copiously.
An Italian, name unknown, en-
ployed at quarry in Georgetown, was

brother, Emil, was in bathing and

of age and in the effort was himself
drowned. The smaller boy was saved
by some men in boat.

which is used by some papers on patriotic
occasions represents him as a swaggering
crank wearing four-button waistcoat. bad
hat. coat with tails that are too long. and a
pair OF trousers that end half way between the
knee and the ankle. 1t Is an outrage upon the
Uncle. 1t makes him look like cross be-
tween a clown and a swashbuckler. No patri-
otto paper should print 1t.

genius does not make q picture OF him that

Tho Latest Attempt to Evade the Real
Issue.

The publication on Sunday OF additional
sr pdrte testimony collected by Minister
BLoUNT Is simply a final effort to throw
dust In the eyes Of the people and to divert
their attention from tho main point.
All such testimony. together with the
mass OF counter evidence supplied. not only
by Hawaiian citizens. but by representa-
tives OF our State and Navy departments.
ought first to DO laid before Congress in
order to ascertain whether the Federal
legislature, in pursuance OF tho right re-
served to 1t by the Constitution, will au-
thorize the Executive to commit an act OF
war against the present Hawaiian Govern
ment. which has been formally recognized
by the United States and other foreign
powers. There will be ample time for the
people TO decide whether Congress ought to
sanction the restoration OF Queen LILIU-
oKALANI. after the question has been sub
mitted to the only branch OF the Federal
Government which has any constitutional
power in the premises.
What it behooves Mr.. CLEVELAND and his
abettors to do at this time Is to deny that
any orders to commit an act OF war have
been given to Minister WILLIS. or else to
produce some show OF authority for the
Presidents usurpation OF the war-making
power which Is peremptorily denied to him
by the Federal organic law. The people
want to know the legal grounds on which
the President has held himself at liberty. H.
indeed. he has so held himself, to violate
the oath he took to obey the Constitution.
That Is q question Of law as to which
t.rnerican citizens would like to hear. pend
ing the assembling OF Congress. the opinion
OF the Federal Attorney General: they do
not care to hear at this time from Minister
WILLIS. who merely brings forward one
sided testimony regarding an alleged state
Of facts. Has Mr.. CLEVELAND been guilty
of breach OF his oath Of office? That Is the
paramount and vital inquiry which will
have to be answered the moment Congress
Is convened. Nor do we hesitate to say
that II the President. acting under the de-
fusion that his notions and whims consti-
tute pretended higher law Of which he is
the sole interpreter. has dared to defy an
express injunction Of the Constitution. he
has put himself in a more serious position
than any In which any Of his predecessors
has been placed.
1t Is condition and not theory by
which Congress is likely to be confronted
when it meets next week. That condition.
unless in the meantime the orders given to
Minister WILLIS are recalled, will be the
u3urpation by the President OF the most
momentous function OF government, to
wit. the war-maklng power. function
vigorously confined by our Constitution to
the Federal legislature. II Congress has
this matter on its hands. there will be no
lack OF anxious employment for Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS Attorney-General.
