WORK FOR THE WEEK.
Tariff VIII Now Have an Inning
in the Senate.
The PeckEiam Nomination Will in All
Probability Be Disposed
of To-Day.

WASHINGTON, Feb. u.-There will be
an effort on the part of the Senate during
the present week to clear up the calendar
as far as possible prior to taking up the
tariff bill, which. when reported to the
Senate. is expected to exclude considera-
tion of most other subjects. Speech
making during the week is to be devoted
to a variety OF topics, including the Stew
art bond resolution, the Turpie Hawaiian
resolution and probably the resolution of
Hale instructing the Committee on Finance
to grant hearings on the tariff bill.
Gray and Daniel have given notice of
speeches on the Hawaiian resolution
Monday. and White OF California is among
the others who Will probably address the
Senate later in tha week on this topic.
The bill TO, compel railroad companies
operating roads in Territories over rights
of way granted by the Government, TO
establish stations at all town sites estab-
lished by the Interior Department, is
among the unfinished business on the
calendar, and when di sposed of. the bill to
provide for additional accommodations
for the Government printing office will be
taken up and acted on as soon as prac-
ticable.
1t is believed the committee .on Judi
ciary will dispose of the Peckham nomi-
nation tomorrow, and if so in all proba-
bility there will be at least one day during
the week devoted to an executive session
for the purpose of passing upon the nomi-
nation.
1t is expected the consideration of the
Bland seigniorage bill will be completed in
the House Wednesday. Tomorrow is Dis
trict of Columbia day. but by special order
the time after o'clock has been set aside
for paying tribute 10 the memory of the
late Senator Stanford. and a fight will
probably be made for the three hours pre-
vious by Bland. When the Bland bill
reaches vote the general expectation Is it
will pass after having been modified in
certain particulars TO meet the objections
of Secretary Carlisle to give him some
latitude and discretion In the Issue of
treasury notes against the seigniorage and
in the coinage OF bullion.
On Thursday the O'NeillJoy contested
election case will come up and by agree
ment six hours will be devoted TO the de-
bate thereon. ONeill will probably be
seated by almost strict party vote. The
remainder of the week will be devoted to
the fortihcatiOn Appropriation bill.

Plain Talk by the Provisional
Governments Minister.
He Says All the Trouble on the
Islands Is Caused by Political
Foreigners.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Minister Lorrin
Thurst0n addressed large audience here
tonight in Foundry Methodist Church on
Hawaii and Its Future " and was greeted
with applause when be referred Indirectly
to annexation. He said, in beginning the
address. he was invited to come there. il
only to show himself as one of those
Hawaiians In danger of having their heads
cut of. Hawaii. he continued. is not so
far away from civilization as many people
imagine. As matter of fact, it is nearer
the geogra phical center of the United
States than Washington. The Aleutian
Islands extended out in the Pacific Ocean
1000 miles east of Hawaii, making San
Francisco the geographical center of this
country; so that Honolulu is 1000 miles
nearer the Golden GATE than Washington.
Hawaii is a child Of the United States if
any country was the child of another.
Americans found the island inh ha bited by
people one step advanced from barbarjsm.
They formulated and framed a language.
introduced and arranged laws modelled
after those of the United States.
The recent trouble had been caused by
foreigners stirring up race prejudice. To
this day there is NO more danger Of an up-
rising among the natives than there is
from natives in Washington. The danger
is from the foreign element, who are a
sort of ward politicians from England and
America, and who make the poor natives
pull chestnuts out of the fire for their use
In reply to question What are we
going to do?" the speaker said: 1--WE are
going to cross each bridge when we get to
IL. We do not propQse tn allow tho coun
Try after seventy years of development to
lapse again into despotic heathenism. We
will endeavor to hold the country to the
best OF our ability, meeting each problem
with the help IF almighty God and the
American people. and i believe we shall
succeed in keeping Hawaii as gem OF the
ocean. the brightest and best land of lib
erty in the Pacific Ocean"

W. Mackay Jr. came into Parser Thomas
Kinsey's Office and asked that the names
BE- changed to those whicn properly be-
longed to the party.
He explained that spies in the employ of
Prince Colonna had been watching the
party since they had been living in Paris.
and that If the fact of their intended de-
parture were known extradition proceed
ings would at once be begun. Mackay
said that the party had quilted Paris
secretly so as to throw the spies off of their
track.
During the entire trip the eager women
passengers noticed that at meals the Prin-
cess wore but one color, and that was dead
black. Not even on Friday night. when
there was concert for the benefit of the
sailors homes, did the interesting passen-
ger wear any other color.
Young Mackay was seen tonight at the
Waldorf Hotel. He was in company with
Thomas p. Ochiltree and several other
friends. Concerning his sisters trouble
young Mackay refused to say word AS
to where the Princess was he was equally
reticent. ''She has come here simply TO
visit me-" he said, ''and ] do not care to
say where she is staying.
''Some people imagine they know, but
they will find out later that they DO not.
She is in a place where no one would
imagine her to be. / have secured this
place for her for the reason that If her
abode was known she would be annoyed
by callers.

ing her affairs, and cannot talk about

pate in them. OF course, she will return

A representative of the Associated Press
who boarded the New York at Quarantine

plans of the Princess. Il must really ask
you to excuse me from saying anything
about my sister," said Mackay. ~ do not

The Princess looked as though q sea
voyage had done her good. She and party
ate an early breakfast and Immediately
went on deck to view the harbor as the
New York came up the bay. While the
steamship was making a landing the
Princess chatted gayly from the upper
deck with her father,s ,swho was on the
wharf to meet her.
The Princess expressed to her friends
great pleasure at once more being in her
native land and she and her friends were
among the first to step ashore.
The Princess mysteriously disappeared
from Paris a few days ago and there has
been great deal of speculation as TO her
movements since that time. The pending

husband of Annie Pixley, who died in
London on October s. was passenger on
the American line steamship New York,
which arrived at the wharf at about 9
o'clock this morning. Fulford was accom-
panied by his sister. Mrs. William Fraser,
and by Annie Joyce. the late Miss Pixley's
maid, who is said to have administered
certain powders to her, thus being instru-
mental in causing her death in order that
Fulford might obtain possession of her
estate, valued at from $500, 900 to S40O, ,OOO
Upon the arrival of the New York at
quarantine Fulford was met by repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, who
acquainted him with the serious charges
made against him by the Pixley family.
Fulford, who is a short, thick-Set gen.

Rough Weather.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA special to the
World from Panama says the steamship
City of Para, which started from Colon to
Roncador Reef on Friday afternoon to
attempt to rescue the castaway crew of the
corvette Kearsarge. should have reached
ROncador at o'clock yesterday morning
After taking on the castaways she was
expected to go to Old Providence Island,
seventy-ive miles southwest of Roncador,
to pick up Lieutenant Brainard's boats
crews. If the Para arrived at Old Provi-
denee Island after nightfall she could not
have landed until the next morning.
In the opinion OF Consul General Viz
guam aud Colonel Rives. the Para will ar
rive at Colon tomorrow.
Arrangements were made to-day to send
another steamer 10 Roncador in case the
Para be not sighted within reasonable
length of time.
1t is realized that the Para may have
found the sea so rough at Roncador that
she could not send boats ashore to bring
on board the castaways, of whom there are
175.
In that event the Para may have to lie
off the reef two or three days, or even
longer. waiting for comparatively smooth
water.
In the event of the ordinarily rough
weather at Roneador the Para's boats
could not be depended upon to take
off more than dozen men apiece each
trip. At that rate it would require over
ten hours of daylight to complete theIwork
of rescue.
The cause of the delay in sending the
Para to the rescue was that the Pacific
hail Steamship Company wanted to secure
special insurance on the steamer. Colonel
