BLoUNr ON THE RACK.
The Paramount Comm issioner Befo
the Senate Committed.

The Paramount Comm issioner Before
the Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l.-Ex- -Commis-
sicner Blount appeared this morning
before the senate comnittee ;nvastigst-.
ing the relations of this country with
Hawaii under the resolution OF Senator
Morgan.
The efforts OF the committee were di-
rected chiefly to securing an explanation
from Blount OF his various acts while in
Honolulu. He told briefly of his ap-
pointment by the president aH special
commissioner. He said he considered
the appointment within the bounds OF
propriety and precedent. His trip to
the iela nds on the Rush, his landing in
Honolulu. on the Goth of March and his
reception by the people on both sides Of
the question were passed over almost
without m ntion, as was the fact that
both annexatlonists and rovaliste. were
apparently anx as that his stay Ghould
be as pleasant as possible. 49,
The deciaion to have the American
ensign taken down and the American
soldiers returned to the man-of-w war was
next reviewed. Blount said he found
the islands and government entirely un-
der the control or protection OF the
United States troops. The American
flag hoated over the government build
ing in which the officers of the provie-
ional government conducted business.
Everywhere was noticed the influence
OF this country upon the people OF the
islands. 1t was evident, Blount said,
that it would be difficult to secure an
impartial account or opinion, uninfiu-
enced by the surrounding, as long as
this state OF affairs continued. Conse'
quently ~ decided on the 3lst of March,
two days after bis arrival, in accordance
with the spirit OF his instructions,
and in the interest OF fair play, that the
fae should be taken down and the
American troops removed. OF this de-
cieion he informed President Dole, and
on the following dsy, the let OF April,
ended the temporary protectorate and
had the flag lowered. This pro oading
he defended as within the scope OF his
misson, and as an entirely proper pro-
ceeding under the circumstances. Sub
seonent events, he said, proved that the
presence of American 6rsops was not
necesesfy to preserve order or protect
life and property of either Americans or
natives
Blonnt contended that his report was
impartial aDd that the investigation
wac without prejudice ot favor. He
stated that he took the testimony in hia
own way gnd acted on his own judgment

The Police Working ON a Mysterious
Double Murder.

Double Murder.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Jan. 1.-THE police
have suddenly been confronted by one
of the most mysterious cases they ever
tried to solve. This morning Steve X.
Wilsko applied at boarding place and
engaged room for week, paying in
advance. Then he left the house, re-
turning late this afternoon and going to
room on the same floor occupied by
Josie Stevenson. Late tonight a man
called at IT, nse and asked to see
Miss Steven The landlady found
the room uo open. Miss Stevenson
was lying on tue floor dead, with bu!-
let hole through the forehead. Wilsko
was on the bed, shot twice through the
lay revolver, all OF the five chambers
being empty. The first theory was MUIR
der, followed by suicide, but after an
examination of the room and the
wounds the police say neither of the
dead persons could have fred the fatal
shots. Two additional shots from the
revolver were fred at the man, but
missed. Although several persons were
in the house no one heard the shooting
or any unusual noise. The man who
called for Miss Stevenson has disap-
peared and cannot be found. His name
has been ascertained as II. 0. Mason.
Nothing is known of Wilsko, and but
little Of Miss Stevenson. The whole
affair is shrouded in mystery, and much
of q sensational nature is expected In
the diHentanglement.

DENsER, Jan. 1.-THE senate today
received the majority report of the
special committee appointed to consider
the governors message. The report de-
clared that there was no occasion for
the extraordinary session, and recon-
mended adjournment tomorrow. In
regard to the proposition to have Colo
RADIO silver bullion coined into Mexican
dollars, the committee stated that they
were compelled to recognize the sover-
eign authority of the United States in
the issuance of all coin, and the COVER
ernor's suggestion was absolutely i'm
practicable. A minority report will be
presented but the majority report will
be adopted.
The house, from present indications,
will not agree to immediate adjourn
ment, and there probably will be a
deadlock until one gives up the fight.
In the house today the member from
Ell Paeo county created a sensation by
introducing the following resolution !:
s'It looks like the devil for members of
the ninth general Assem- bly, to be etop-
ping at sumptuous hotels in Denver and
drawing 81 per day from their impover-
ished constituency under the pretense
that they can better their condition by
legislation; therefore be it
ssResolved, That the members OF this
assembly and the employees of the same
will stay here without pay until hell
freezes over, and do all we can for the
good OF the state"
Merriment over this effort shook the
building, and Speaker Anm mons refused
to en- ertain it. Baldwin asked the
reason.
because the language is objection
| able,," said the speaker.
"Well, only quoted the governor
Baldwin replied, but the resolution was
not received.
The Republican members OF the house
held another caucus tonight to discuss

The detarmined atand .aken by the

publicans in regard to the wisdom oi

late tonight are that the legislature will
adjourn sine die tomorrow, or at the
latest Saturday.
Governor Waite has received this dis.
patch from Senator Stewart: 81 be-
! lieye, as a matter OF law the state may
make foreign coin legal tender, accord
ing to the pure metal of standard value
and the Mexican dollar might be made
legal tender for its face value"

patches from Willis by the Corwin.
which came into the hands of the state
department today. Gresham, Lamont
and Carlisle visited the White House
and had q conference with Cleveland.
Olney came later and remained closeted
with the president and Gresham some
time for the purpose, it is said, OF giving
advice on some points involved in the
news Willis sent. All that could be
learned of the dispatches was that they
contain about $4,000 words, Dole's let
ter in reply to Willis containing
about 5000 words. 1t is thought the
matter will be cent to Congress, but it's
perusal by the president occu pied con-
siderable time, and it was found the
preparation OF copies to be sent to the
capitol would occupy much more. 1t is

Minority Report on the Elections Bill.
Davis Hawaiian Speech.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. Chandler,
Hosr. Mitchell and Higgins, constitut-
ing the Republican minority OF the
senate committee on privileges and
elections, presented q report to the
senate on the bill to repeal the federal
election laws late this afternoon. The
report says it ia proposed to overthrow
all the existing provisions of national
legislation for securing honesty in cleo
tions for members of the national house
of representatives. These provisions
were enacted largely for the security Of
elections in northern cities. The laws
now in force we're passed chiefly in con-
sequence of frauds and crimes which
had been committed by the Democratic
party in the city of New York under
the leadership of Tweed and his associ-
ates, and those laws commended them
selves alike to his Republican OPP
ponents and to many respectable
and judicious Democrats. The report
reviews the circumstances which led y
the enactment of the reconstruction
legislation, the civil rights bill and
election laws at great length. and con-
cludes: The passage of the bill will
convex to the people of the country this
notice: "Tne Democratic party, con.
trolled by the states of the solid south,

power"
