He Wants the Purchase Of Buiiien BY
the Treasury to Cease.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Representative
Harter of Ohio. objects to the silver pur-
chase suspension resolution introduced In
the senate by Mcpherson of New Jersey,
on the ground that il gives the secretary
of the treasury greater control over the
subject than any man could wish and
more than congress ought to place In the
hands Of any officer OF the government.
He offered In the house to-day o substitute
in the nature of q house Joint resoiutioa
providing as follows:
"All further purchases Of silver bullion
by the United States Of America shall
cease from and after the passage or
adoption Of this resolution, and said pur-
chases shall be again resumed by an
agreement Of nations. which agreement
shall Mt least include Great Britain, Ger
many. France and the United States Of
America. And which agreement shall flx
the valuation at which silver bullion will
thereafter be received for coinage, without
limit as to quantity. at the mints OF all
nations parties to tho said international
agreement"
Harter thinks this resolution would &C.
complsh the same result and not be open
to the same objection ms the Mcpherson
resolution. "lt would, moreover" he
says. ''be notice to the world We are
ready to Join other civilized nations In the
coinage OF silver upon any agreed interna.
tional ratio, and that meanwhile We de
cline going on raking their chestnuts in
for them at the risk of commercial disas.
ter and national disgrace"
Harter says ho believes silver purchases
have greatly contracted currency during
tho last "a or 2o months, and that after
counting in notes issued by the govern
ment in payment for Pig silver, the actual
volume of currency to-day Is probably nj
least s22).00o.0O0, or perhaps s250,0Oy0U
or Set, ,0O0. 900 smaller than IL we had been
out of silver speculation entirely.

OFFICIAL IMPORTATION

From Minister Stevens, of Honolulu-The
Uprising sudden.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Dispatches from
Minister Stevens al Honolulu and the COM
mander of the Boston were received BY
mail at the state and navy departments to.
day. 1t is stated that they confirm the in
made public through these dis
patches from San Francisco and the tele-
grams received by the state and navy de-
partments concerning the Hawaiian revolu-
tlon. There is, however. one fact en-
bodied in Minister Stevens' dispatch that
puts a somewhat different aspect on his
action than has been derived from the press
dispatches. This is nothing more nor loss
than the point that the revolution was a
complete surprise to the minister as we'll AZ
to the commander of the Boston, The
minister left Honolulu on the Boston early
in January for visit to some of the other
islands without an idea that any trouble
was impending. The Boston did not return
to Honolulu till Jan. IA. and the minister
says he was very much astonished
to find the country in a
state Of turmoil and excitement. The
events Of the next few days following the
arrival of the Boston, however, eliminated
on the 18th in the dethrouement of the
queen. The above information is received
from an official of the state department
who explained it's significance, bv saying
that it showed conclusively that representa-
tives of the United states had not started
the revolutionary movement. and in fact
were not on the ground until after it WAS
under full headway.

LONDON. Feb. 3.-After a discussion of
three hours ths house of lords assented to
the queens address without division. In
the commons, in reply to the question by
William Redmond regarding the statement
that DR.. Gallagher, confined in Portland
prison. was made insane through bad treat
ment. Homo Secretary Asquith declined to
permit the inquiry and added that the state
ments were absolutely without foundation.
Debate on the add eSs proceeded monoto-
nously until Henry Labouchere proposed
an amendment in favor of withdrawing en-
tirely from Uganda. He said the sooner
the occupation of Egypt ceased the better
1T would be for all concerned, as the khe-
dive and his people are unRlterably opposed
to British rule. He hoped the gcvernmer.
would treat with France i'll friendly spirit
on questions concerning withdrawal
Referring to the understanding that Lord
Salisbury had assured Italy of British sup
port in case OF war between and France,
Labouohere requested the prime minister
to state that his government is in no wise
esponsible If Italy went to war with
France. Gladstone replied that he is not
aware that anything has occurred since the
ACCESSION of the present government to
cause unaasiness about Great Britain's for
eign relations. The government aided 60
peace in Egypt, and he trusted
would be ablo to restore tho desired har-
mony.
