The Wisconsin Chairman Refuses a
Place i'm Cleyeland's Cabinet.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 1.-The Journal
states: 1t is settled that Wisconsin
will not have a member of President
Cieveland's cabinet. This news comes
from Chairman Wall, who has just re-
turned from New York and Washing
ton. The facts in the case are the oues-
ton of Wisconsin being represented in
the cabinet by Mr.. Wall was at first dis
cussed, Mr.. Cleveland sending for Sena-
tor Villas and going into the matter
quite thoroughly. Senator Villas has
since had number of long interviews
with Mr.. Cleveland, in which he
showed the political standing of
his state, and warmly recommended
Mr.. Wall as one of the presidents ex-
ecutive officers. Mr.. Wall was sum-
moned to New York ten days ago and
while there went to Mr.. Cleveland and
Withdrew His Name
from the list of cabinet possibilities on
which the president-elect had placed it.
Mr.. Wall then went TO Washington on
a mission for Mr.. Cleveland, the object
OF his visit being to acquaiat the MEM
bers OF congress with tine fact that the
president-elect was thoroughly in earn
est in asking the repeal of the Sherman
bill. Mr.. Wall viii return to Washing

The Minnesota senator Informing
Himself Regarding Hawaii.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-Senator Davis
is making thorough study of the
Hawaiian matter. He has read about
all the diplomatic correspondence to be
had, and took home from the Capitol
all the books that furnish any informa-
tion on the subject. Speaking of the
position of the United States regarding
these islands, Senator Davis says that
two years after this country recognized
their independence Daniel Webster,
In state paper, said that the
manifest destiny of these ISLANDS was
to unite with this country, and that
every secretary of state from that time
forward had taken the same position.
The ablest paper ON the subject was by
Secretary Blaine, and In Senator Davis
opinion it was one of the ablest papers
ever written by that statesman Senator
Davis seemed to think the United States
must surely acquire the islands ON some
conditions. 1t is also apparent that the
senate will be of that opinion, although
opposition may be found in the house,
but will finally be overcome.

CONGRESSIONAL,
'TIre Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. SENATOR Har-
ris reported the senate quarantine bill
with the appropriating clause omitted
as substitute for the quarantine and
immigration bill passed by the house.
Senator Hill objected to introduction of
the bill as he wished time to examine it
and the bill went over day.
The senate next took up Mr.. Chan
dler's resolution requiring the president
to transmit to the senate any conven-
tion he may make with the provisional
government of Hawaii.
Mr.. Chandler moved the reference of
the resolution to the committee on for
eign affairs. / Mr.. Dolph made a long
speech on the subject, giving details as
to population, commerce, etc., of the
islands, and favoring annexation.
Before Mr.. Dolph had concluded his
speech the anti-option bill was taken
mp, in order to have the arrangement
changed to taking vote. The change
made was that the first vote made on
the George substitute should be taken
at p M, and that on the final passage
of the bill at p. m.

anti-option bill having been taken up

Wisconsin's Ex-Treasurer Files an
Exception In the Interest Case.
MILwAUKEE, Feb. Charles w.
Felkner, attorney for FL. B. Harshaw,
ex-state treasurer, has filed an excep-
tion to the finding of fact and conclu-
sions of law in case No. Q. He denies
the right of the state to interest on the
principal sum from the time it was due.
In other words, Harshaw refuses to pay
interest on interest. H the matter is
carried to the supreme court again and
Harshaw wins, it will make alarge hole
in the judgments against him and the
other ex-treasurers. An effort will be
made to compromise the case against
ex-Treasurer McFetridge, and a lobby
is now at Madison for that purpose.
McFetridge's interest is piling mn at the
rate of $40 per day, and he is naturally
anxious to stop the drain.

Discussion Of the Annexation Question
Occupies the Front Rank In
Washington.
The General Opinion Seems to Be That
the United States should Take
the Islands.
Resolutions In Both House and Senate.
President Harrison Said to
Favor the Move.

WASHINGTON, Feb. LIT is stated
shat the report that the protest of
England against the annexation of
Hawaii by the United States would be
presented Immediately is premature.
1t was said at the state department
that it had not been received, and there
was no intimation that it would come
soon, but the opinion prevailed that it
might be expected at any time.
Lord Roseberry's statement to the
Hawaiian charge, at London, that Eng
land, France and Germany would pro-
test against the annexation of Hawaii
by the United States, is believed to have
good foundation only SO far as England
is concerned. The interests of France
and Germany are not of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant either of them in
proceeding, even SO far as a protest,
against the political absorption of the
islands by the United States. in case it
was deemed best by this country to take
that action.
Expects England TO Protest.
DIR. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian repre-
sentative here, expects England to pro-
test and to protest vigorously. He
thinks there win be concentration of
naval forces of England now in the Pa
cific ocean at Honolulu of making a
demonstration. But ii is not probable,
in the opinion of DR. Smith, that this
will affect the sentiment of the people
in any way. The commercial interests
OF Hawaii are practically all with the
United States. and although the SYM
pathies of the native population, under
the influence of the members of the
royal family, are undoubtedly with
England. still the property interest OF
the islands viii eventually control its
destiny. That interest is in favor OF
political incorporation with the United
States.

Holmes Comet Undergoes Wonderful
Transformation.
ROCHESTER. N. Y. Feb. DR.
Lewis Swift has received cablegram
from Ralph Copeland, royal astronomer
at Edinburgh, stating that Professor
Palissa has been wired from Vienna
that the Holmes comet now resembles a
liked star of the eighth magnitude, witt
nebulus envelope.
Holmes comet" said DIR. Swift, will
probably prove. to be the body formed by
the collision of the two asteroids. Their
orbits cross in that region. The discov-
cry Is one of Importance in the scientific
world. This comet was discovered in
November by Holmes, London astron.
oIper, and could be seen with the naked
eye. The discovery was an accident,
and the comet was, for some time,
thought to be Biela's. .-
