WARDARTSSHOT WILSON
The Senate Flooded With Cut and
Dried Protection Petitions.

Senator Stewart Offers a Resolution
Adverse to the Issuing Of Bonds.
Teller Speaks on the Hawaiian Mud
dle-Call Again Rides His Hobby on
Corporation Influence on Lsgisla-
ton.
Washington, Jan. Gan unusually
large number of remonstrances against
the passage of the Wilson tariff bill was
presented to-day. Mr.. Hoar described
those which he presented as "cries Of
agony against that unsanctihed, abomin-
able menace"
Mr.. Stewart offered a resolution de-
claring that in the judgment Of the Sen
ate, the Secretary Of the Treasury is not,
at this time, clothed under existing law,
with any legal authority to issue aud sell
the bonds and other interest bearing obi
cations OF the government. He said that
he should like to have a vote on the reso-
luton tomorrow. The bonds were about
TO be issued. 1t was a mooted question;
and it seemed to him that the Senate
ought, at least, to express an opinion one
way or the other He, therefore, gave
notice that he would call up the resolu-
tod tomorrow morning.
TELLER SPEAKS ON HAWAII.
The Hawaiian resolutions were taken
up and Mr.. Teller, of Colorado, addressed
the Senate He criticised some of the
phraseology of the resolution reported
from the committee on foreign relations.
but intimated that he would, neverthe-
less, vote for it. He did not like the
phrase ''de facto government" and said
that there was really no difference be-
tween de facto government and de 1ure
government.
Mr.. Pasco, Of Florida, inquired whether
Mr.. Teller made any distinction between
provisional government" and a per-
manent government
RIGHTS OF DoLE's GOVERNMENT.
Mr.. Teller said that he did not. A pro-
visional government was as much a gov
eminent as any other 1t might be, as in
this case that the government was sup
posed to be organized for q temporary
purpose, but the provisional government
was government, and every government
in the world which had had relations
with Hawaii recognized it as a govern
ment. The dealings of the United
States government with the provisional
government were actually the same as If
the provisional government had existed
"from time immemorial." The question
how it came into existence was not ques-
tion for this government, or by any other
government. If it came into existence by
fraud. by crime, as all revolutionary gov
ernments did come more or less, that
was vice which followed the govern
ment after it was established.
HAD SHUT OURSELVES OUT.
After recognizing the provisional gov
eminent of Hawaii, the United States
government, Mr.. Teller argued, was pre-
cluded from raising any question as to
tho rnOda nv which IL organized He
ventured TO say that this was the only
case, in modern times at least, where a
government which had been recognized as
an existing government, and with which
diplomatic relations had been established,
was attempted to be overthrow or de-
stroyed by government which had recog-
nized it.
The resolution having exhausted Its
right to consideration in the morning
hour, was under the rule placed on the
calendar, from which it can only be taken
on motion and by majority of the vote,
but MIR. Higgins, rep, of Delaware, gave
notice that he would address the Senate
upon il tomorrow.
The House bill to repeal the federal
elections law was then taken up and Mr.
Chandler continued and finished his
speech in opposition to it. Most Of Mr..
Chambers speech was directed against
the election frauds of 1892 in the state of
Maynard frauds.
Mr. Higgins, rep, of Delaware, also
spoke in opposition TO the bill, which then
went over without action.
CALL AND THE CORPORATIONS.
Mr.. Call offered a resolution, which
went over till tomorrow, instructng the
committee on civil service to inquire and
report whether the civil service has been
influenced In the Performance OF its Official
duties by money or inducement of free
travel, or other corrupG means, by corpo-
rations, syndicates or trusts; also to
what extent the newspaper press is main
tanned or subsidized by railroad, bank
ing and other corporations, and as to
various other matters affecting the in
reference Of railroad corpora lions with
elections TO office.
A new discussion of the federal cleo
lions laws was started by Mr.. Chandler,
who had discovered, and VINO brought it
to the attention OF the Senate, law of
the state of Delaware, enacted in 1892.
which gave to nstables in that state, as
he claimed, the same powers as were OBJ
jected TO now on the part of federal dep
uty marshals. The discussion was taken
up and continued by Mr. Hoar on the one
side and by Mr.. Gray on the other-the
latter reminding Mr. Hoar of the time
when the great commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts had uprisen against the inter-
ference of federal .ticials in that state in
the execution of the fugitive slave law.
On motion of MIR. Harris the debate
was suspended and the Senate went into
executive session. AT 8 p M the doors
were opened and the Senate adjourned.
INCOME TAX TALK BEGUN.
