WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. In the senate
the committee on forei. . rlations repor
ted fasorsbiy the following resolution.
Resolved. That from the facts and
papers laid before the senate it Is unwise
aud inexpedient, under the existing cons
ditions. to consider at this time any pro-
ject of the annexation of the Hawaiian
island to the United States; that the pro
visional government therein having been
duly recognized, the highest international
interest requires that it shall persue its
own line of policy. Foreign in,erven
tions in the political affairs of these is
lands would be regarded as an act un-
friendly to the government of the United

Edwin Booths Estate.

ROCHESTER,, N Y, Jan. 25-C. M.
Bove, jr., of New York, attorney tor the
executors of the estate of the late Edwin
Booth, appeared before Judge Ramsey
yesterday and secnred an order requiring
Eugene Van Voorhies, as re feree, to sell
the Long Point hotel, oa Seneca lake, on
the foreclosure of mortgage of $4,000
hsld by the estate. The property con-
sists of one of the finest summer hotels
in the state and 80 acres of land, laid out
into beautiful grounds. The property
will be disposed of at public auction to
satisfy the mortgage. It is valued at
$4,000 and is the prepertv of the Sen-
eca Lake Steamboat and Hotel Company.
1t is understood that the company is fn-
ancially embarrassed. Mr.. Bovee said
to reporter that the executors had only
begun their work of settling the estate
of the deceased actor, adding in reply to
a query:
''Mr. Booth was very wealthy man.
Of course, it is not proper for me to state
the value OF the estate, even if I could
do so, but 1t Is very large. 1t Is, as you
probably know, all left to his daughter
and to her children. The property given
by Mr.. Booth to the Players Club soon
before bis death, free OF all encumhrance
IS alone worth 100000.

vote Was finally taken on Warmers
amendment as substitute, and 1t was

Still Rampant.

BARCELONA, Jan. 25-Ramon Marrull,
an anarchist workingmau, trIed this af-
ternoon to assa-sina R. Larroc', civil
governor Of Bsrcelona. The governor
left the prefecture as usual at 80 o'clock
He had ,nterc bis carriage and WIS Civ
orders to the footman As the footman
was about to mount. Marrul pushed BY
him, drew revolver, and thrusting bis
arm through the window, fired twice at
Larroca. The governor was struck in the
LETT jaw By the second bullet, but he did
not lose his presence OF mind. Pushing
open the door. he shouted to his coach
man, ARREST that sceundreli' The few
pedestrians IN the street hurried to assist
the governor, but before they reached
the carriage, the coachman jumped from
the box. and, with the help OF q police
man, had seized and disarmed his mas
ter's assailant. Other policemen, who
had been attracted bg the shooting, took
charge OF the prisoner AMI hurried hin
off 10 the central polio Office. There he
gave his name as Macon, and confessed
that he was an anarchist. Fl s object in

Pallas, the anarchist who was shot for
having tried to kill General Martinez de
Campos. Later he admitted that he was
Ramon Marrull. He refused to give the
name of the man who was with him in
front of the prefecture but ran away after
the first shot. The governor was taken
into the prefecture AID the bullet was
extracted from his jaw. His wound is
not dangerous. The news of the shoot

most favorable showing in support OF
cur opposition to it; but, sir, 1t is at
least, limited as it is, some consolation
to know that an opportunity Is offered
US now and here, through this house
and to the American people to enter
our earnest protest against the injury
which is about to be inflicted upon so
large portion uf our people, and upon
such an immense proportion of their
wealth. There is satisfaction also in
another direction, Mr.. Chairman, in
knowing that at last the veil has been
cast aside, and we are to have this is
sue presented for the first time as an
issue should always be presented IN Its
true and real meaning"
The unlimited coinage of silver is
believed by some 70 be the only rem
edy for the evils we are now suffer
ing, and that it would also be the
means of making money cheap. But
this is not true. When Democracy was
lnducted into office the country, in ex
pectation of adverse tariff legislation,
became distrustful and the panic be
gan. If all the bullion that could
hay We been purchased had been coined
into dollars the present financial de-
preston would not have been averted
while the conditions existed. As
money is only a representative of
value, however plentiful it may be-
come, will not increase .he price
of labor or augment its productive
power. The amount of labor expended
on any article governs its price to the
consumer, and this is the only true
measure of value. To receive money
one must give value, or the product of
labor, and the purchasing power of a
dollar must be governed by its market
price in the werld. Cheap money
means cheap pay for labor or the pro-
duct of labor; ard as the dollar ap-
proaches nearer the standard the
bread winner receives better wages.
The correspondence between Presi-
dent Dole and Minister Willis was
published in the dispatches yesterday;
but these do not place the present ad-
mlnistration in a fairer light before
the American people. If the policy
towards the Sandwic islands planned
by Mr.. Cleveland had been carried
out every citizen would blush with
shame at the fact that republican
form of government had been over
thrown by an American president,
and the United States would no
longer have occupied the high position
of being the protector of free insti-
tutions on this side of the Atlantic.
As 1t is. the president of the provis-
ional government at Honolulu has
won the admiration of the American
people for the determined stand he has
taken, aud it is safe to say that the
warships and marines of this conntry
will not dare to unseat him. Whether
Ex-Minister Stevens was, or was not
hasty in his actions is not the question
under discussion. The revolution was
successful, the new government was
acknowledged by the family of nations,
and to subvert it now is an act of hos
tility which should receive the severest
condemnation.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 24-The sensa.
tion created among the Norwegians and
Scandlnavians here by Edward Brekhus,
an ignorant Swede, who breaches elo-
auent sermons while in trance, contin-
ues unaDated. Whether Berkhus is beng
guided directly by God, and his body in

as claimed, will be doubted by people
generally, but it is believed by hundreds
and hundreds of Norwegian and Swedish
Lutherans, and many who are not mem
bers of that church in this city. Ger
tainly the young man is not practicing

whatever they may be. Res. I. Toilet

largest of several of that denomination

II really and actually believe this man
has In him the spirit of the Holy Ghost,
and that he receives his Instructions di :
rectly from God. The same spirit that
speaks in the Bible speaks through him.
I don't care to say anything further
about him and my belief until we can
prepare statement for the public, as 1

opponents of the income tax, who believe
the internal revenue bill will be offered

determined to make fight against it.
So, when the house convened this morn-

opposed to the income tax declined to
answer to their names, but quorum ap
peared, nevertheless.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff,
Wilson moved to close the debate on
the amendments relative to the free entry
of cotton machinery.
Cochran filoustered, but the motion
prevailed.

tural implements on the free list, was
lost, So to 105; also Hare's amendment,

The BuI w,,, Pass the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The vote on
the tariff bill thus far, especially upon
matters in which many of the members
are interested, such as coal and sugar,
have revived the talk of movement to
recommit the entire Wilson bill. Haines,
of New York, has been arranging such
move, out members of the ways and
means committee say it cannot prevail
Breckinridge says:
"There has not been a vote on any
amendment which would indicate a
doubt of the final passage of the bill as
whole. The change in the sugar sched~
ue may induce some gentlemen to say
they will vote againe I, the bill, but this
is due to the feeling of the moment, and
there Is little probability that many
democratic votes will be lost TO the bill
as the result of the amendments. On
the contrary, the committee is we'll
pleased that the bill has suffered such
slight changes. as it is far from amount
ing to q mutilation of the measure"
Bryan. Whiting and others of the com
mittee expressed similar views. They
have been kept advised of the progress
of Haines' effort to effect com mbinatlon
to recommit the bill, and say 1t has never
shown strength enough TO come within
long way oi carrying. At the same time,
Halnes Is continuing bis efforts and
claims to be encouraged at the outlook.

WHERE THE BLAME RESTS.

Some of our Democratic exchanges
are throwing the blame for the de-
6ency in the treasury on expenditures
for pensions, and SO the old soldiers
are made a scspe-goat for mismanage-
mont Of national affairs by Democracy.
Apparently the Democratic party has
no use for veterans of the last war, ex-
cept durlne election times, and then, if
they vote right. they may enjoy the
inalisnable rights of freemen. But
this excuse is very fimsy, and cannot
DO supported by reasonable arguments.
During Mr.. Harrlsonsradministration
there was not the least fear entertained
that the treasury would descend to the
100000, 900 limit. As matter of
fact, the receipts of the government
were so much in excess of expenses,
that considerable portion of the sur
plus was used in the purchase of bonds.
not yet due, and by this means ths
public debt was largely reduced. The
bounty of the nation was given with
very liberal hand to those who had
risked life aud limb in its preservation,
and the president, in his message, or
the party platform, did not consider
''pension frauds" as the great evil to
be remsdied by congressional legisla-
tion. A "change" took place when the
management of affairs was turned over
to Mr.. Cleveland and his party, and
the country realized in few months
that the status of business was on
less substantial foundation than before.
Trade In every department became
paralyzed, and the revenues of the ma
tion began to decrease in such rapid
ratio that an appalling deficit was
daily observed by Secretary Carlisle.
The $l0O,0o0,OOO was reached, and
kept on decreasing until the admins
tration has come TO the conclusion to
issue more bonds and increase the ma
tional debt $5O,O0O,00 more.
This cannot be blamed on the pen
sion business or the Republican party,
and Democracy must alone stand re-
sponsible for the depletion of the pub
lie treasury and the widespread dis
trust among the people. If Mr.. Har
risen had been re elected in 1892 bus
mess would have followed its usual
prosperous channels, and, instead of
selling bonds to make up deficit,
many Of those now outstanding would
have been purchased to lessen the an
nual interest.

Hawaiian Revolutions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Representative
McCreary, chairman of the house com
mittee on foreign sffairs, has prepared
and today introduced in the house res-

resolution represents the sentiments of
