SENT HIS ULTIMATUM.
Cleveland Talks to the Senate
on the Silver Question.
An Extra Session and no Political
FavOrS if the Sherman Law
Is Not Repealed.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-"Unless this Con-
gress acts on silver and repeals the Sher-
man bill, Grover Cleveland will call an ex-
ira session Of Congress within thirty days
OF March f." This Information was given
by Senator Carlisle, the next Secretary of
the Treasury, and to-day Don Dickinson
arrived direct from Lakewood to unite with
Carlisle to make final attempt to act on
the silver question this session. Dickinson
and Carlisle have absolute authority from
Cleveland to put the screws down and tell
the members that unless Cleveland is
obeyed in this matter he will not listen to
them in regard to patronage or favOrs of
any sort. Carlisle retires from the Senate
on Saturday, and he will devote the rest OF
his time acting for Cleveland and demand
ing that action be taken on this subject at
this session. If. however. the mission Of
Dickinson and Carlisle fails. then the Pres-
dent-elect will call the extra session and
notice will be served On all members that
the President will not consider patronage
until the extra session settles the silver
question. Dickinson spent over an hour
with Speaker Crisp in his room in private
conference to-day, and also went on the
floor of the House. At o'clock he went to
the Senate for another conference with
Carlisle.
The Republican members of the Senate,
under the direction OF Sherman. to-day COM
pleted the poll of the Senate on the pro-
posed repeal of the Sherman silver act of
1890. 1t is said that the result Is not at all
satisfactory TO those who have looked for
ward to the possible repeai Of the act. Ac-
cording to common report it is discovered
that here are only about eight members on
the Democratic side who can be depended
upon TO vote for the repeal and the result is
even more discouraging on the Republican
side. There are some Senators who would
vote for the repeal IL the measure came to a
vote, but who will not vote TO bring the
matter under consideration. 1t is also
understood that there is a majority of seven
or eight on the Republican side of the
chamber against bringing the measure 10 a
vote.

WHAT IS EXPECTED.
Commissioner ThurstOn Is Worried
About Minor Details.

OMAHA, Feb. 1.-The Hawaiian Commits
siOners passed through here this evening
They have a sealed letter from Stevens the
American Minister TO Hawaii, which is sup
posed 10 contain theiI credentials TO this
Government. The Commissioners Will en-
deaYor to induce the President 90 send n
message to Congress on the subject of their
mission. In case he refuses the Commits
si0ners will not be discouraged entirely, but
will make an effort 10 have the matter taken
l-up by Congress without any suggestion
from the President. The members Of the
commission do not know whether such
action could be taken under the rules Of in
ternatiOnal law. but they say that they will
find out.
"Of course" said Thurston, "Our admis-
sion as a State is out of the question. Our
admission under the laws governing Terri
tories would be equally unsatisfactory to
US and to the representatives Of the pro
visional Government Our position is a
peculiar one. Popular government is out
OF the question, and still popular govern
ment in some modified form is the only
thing that will satisfy onr people. Most Of
us are agreed that we would get the best
results from government similar to that
"The people must not think" continued
Thurston. that the natives Of Hawaii are
opposed to the proposed action Of the Pro-
visional Government in seeking protection
from the Government Of the United States.
Many natiyes-in fact a large majority
have never been in sympathy with the
native ruler. and only the clique that lived
and grew rich on the faVors of the de-
posed Queen have any serious objections
TO the proposed Government. The re-
ports of the recent revolution have
been very accurate, as far as the
details are concerned, but DO idea can be
given people living in the United States of
the fmsy excuses and subterfuges by which
the Queen sought to force a new consli;u-
tion upon the people that would make her
despOt with more power than the Gar of
Russia ever coveted. If these plans had
been successful. white people would have
been forced to abandon their interests, and
would have been absolutely compelled to
leave the islands,

BROCKY-FACED TOM.
Editor Godkin May Yet Find Himself
SOundly Tfrashed,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-The Press this
morning prints dispatch from New York
saying Mayor Gilroy is so incensed by GER
tain attacks of the Mugwump organ (mean-
ing the POST for recent city appointments
that he may infiict personal chastisement
on Editor Godkin. Gilroy is represented as
saying that be is perfectly satisfied with
any of his public acts being criticized. bat
he is seriously offended because the Post
repeatedly called him 'Brocky-faced Tom,"
in alIusion to the marks of smallpox from
which he suffered in his youth. Giroy was
seen and said he had no comment to make
about the report. His attitude toward the
coiner of the obnoxious phrase was one Of
contemptuous indifference. The friends OF
Gllroy, speaking of the abuse coming from
G0dkin, declare these later attacks have
aroused the Mayor. and it is only the Office
he holds that prevents him from showing
his anger. GlrOy is a very passionate man,
but has taught himself habits of self-eon-
troll, and there Is little danger of his de-
scending to cuff Godkin's ears or tweaking
his nose

seen by CALL reporter yesterday and
asked what policy Canada would likely

81 may tell you frankly" said Mr.. Ellis,
that / have not given the question any
| serious thought.
''Still l should think that in view Of the
| fact that it is proposed to put on line of
| steamers to run between British Columbia
and Australia, and also to construct cable
between the same points, Canada will not
remain quiescent
"rhe Canadian Pacific Railway people
| will undoubtedly use their powerful in
fuence to get the Canadian Government to
| protest to the British Government through
their High Commissioner in london, Sir
| Charles Tupper. against the annexation OF
| Hawaii by the United States.
''Sir Charles is we'll versed in the ways Of
| diplomacy and is thoroughly conversant
with Canada's position in regard to
Hawaii
There is practically no trade to speak OF
between British Columbia and Hawaii at
| present. but if the proposed line of steamers
was put on and Hawaii was not annexed by
the United States there would without

| tween the two countries.
Besides British Columbia is making
rapid strides forward. and anything calcu-
lated to promote her advancement will be
carefully nursed, just as anything having
the opposite tendency will be vigorously
opposed.
"A railway will soon be in process of
construction from Victoria to Butte Inlet
" hat { Nc tha old MapEqpZip n
route. 1t will be called the British Pacific
Railway, and viii have its terminus in
the Yellowhead Pass at the extreme bounda-
ry OF the province. 1t will connect with the
Northern Pacific at Winnipeg.
'The railway will run through the very
heart of the province. where coal. iron aud
timber are found Ia superabundance. 1t is
the route which the Canadian Pacific aban-
doned and which Aan Horne afterward said
had meant a loss 10 them of twenty million
dollars
'The preliminary surveys have been
| made and the financial and other arrange
ments advanced to such an extent that all
that is now wanted is for the province and
city to consent TO guarantee the interest on
proportion of the land grant bonds.
"The construction Of this line would very
soon more than double Victoria's popula-
tion. and she would gradually rise till she
was second to none on the Pacific Coast.
There is a great deal of nOnsensical talk
about the fOrtifratious at Esquimalt. The
British Columbia coast is practically de-
fenseless. There are a few out-of-date guns
at Esquimalt which would be Of no earthly
use for defense purposes. and the only
other martial feature is battery of Cana
dian artillarU 1p0
THE scare about the Notifications at
Esquimalt Is gotten up periodically by the
press of Seattle and Tacoma with the sole
object Of getting the United States Govern
ment to build fortifcations on Puget Sound,
which these cities have for years been
| clamoring for.
"Of course there has been talk for some
time back about erecting strong fortfica-

An English Naval Captain Expresses

BosToN. Feb. 1-Joseph n. White, a
prominent business man who left Honolulu
on January 4. says: THE English colony,
though small numerically. assumes great
strength because of its open sympathy with
the natives. They are in favor of native
Government and do not aid the propagation
of American ideas. In plain words it is
this: The English are working slowly to
the end that England may get the Islands,
and she is bound TO get them if possible
on account of their strategic value"
While in Honolulu White met, among
other prominent gentlemen, Commander
Macarthur of the British warshiD Daphne.
White asked the commander If he imagined
England would object il the United Safes

CHINESE IN HAWAII.
Lyman MOwry Says Annexation Will
Not Make Them Citizens.

Lyman Mowry, the Chinese attorney,
speaking yesterday OF the proposed an
nexation of the Hawaiian Islands by the
United States, said:
Il see by the dispatches that some of the
Congressman at Washington who are op-
posed 20 the acquisition of the Islands BIZ
this country use as an argument the fact
that there are 10000 Cinnamon on the
islands and that this would be an unde-
sirable class Of population for the United
States. Now / think that there is nothing
in this argument. Let us leave aside en-
tirely the inealculable advantages that
would result to this great nation by the
possession of such strategic point and the
immense advantage II would give a foreign
power, which could make the Islands the
Gibraltar of the Pacific. This should sweep
aside every other consideration against an
nexatiOn.
"But the argument Of the Eastern Con-
gressmen does not hold as far as the Chi
nese are concerned. OF course II Hawaii
were annexed all her inhabitants would re-
tain their present privileges without entail
ment. But the Chinese are not citizens OF
Hawaii. They are not under the constitu-
tion of the islands enfranchised. Conse-
Quently IL Hawaii were annexed the Chi
nese would retain their present condition,
and this should be insisted on by the United
States. Again, when Hawaii becomes part
of the American soil. as | believe II WILL the
laws governing the Chinese in this country
will prevail The Geary act, which have
all along claimed to be constitutional except
in the one provision about Imprisonment,
in which l was sustained by Judge Newson
in the East, will apply equally TO the Chinese
of Hawaii. They will not he made citizens
Of the United States by annexation. because
they are not citizens there now.
ut would be good thing, too, TO have
the jurisdiction Of the United States ex-
tended TO the islands. for this would pre-
vent considerable smuggling Of both Chi
nese and opium. With Government officers
Of the Treasury Department at Honolulu
there would be fewer Chinese shipped Sc
cretly from that port to British Columbia
and other ports to be smuggled into the
United States"

Searls Has No Uneasiness About the
Hydraulic Mining Bill.

WAsHINGToN, FEB. l. = Judge Niles
Searls of California, who is here to look
after the interests of the miners. says the
hydraulic mining bill will probably pass
the Sencte within few days.
No attempt will be made TO further amend
the bill as reported by the Senate Mines
and Mining Committee. but when it goes
back TO the House an endeavor will be made
TO modify the penalty prescribed against
the miners.
Judge Searls says it is hardly satisfactory
as ii now stands before the Senate They
will seek to change it so that the penalty
against the miners cannot be enforced until
q Government commission is organized and
has Issued licenses to mine.
Under the bill as 1t stands prosecutions
could be commenced Immediately upon the
passage of the bill, and licenses from the
Government Commissioners might not be
issued for several months thereafter.
Mr. Searls says that with this change tbs
bill will be satisfactory to most of the
miners, although some of the smaller ones
will object TO procuring licenses at all
Stewart, FELTON, and Caminetti are believed
to be Favorable to the change suggested By
