PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20, 1894.-Pennsyl-
vania is today voting for Congressman-at-
Large to serve the unexpired term in the
present Congress of General William Lilly
(rep.), who died December l, 1893,

officers The candidates are:-Republlcan-
Galusha A. Grew. Democrat-James Den

will have the largest majority ever given a
candidate in the State, was member OF the
National House of Representatives from the
Thirty-third to Thirty seventh Congresses
inclusive, and was chosen Speaker of the
Thirty y-seventh Congress.
After the adjournment of the regular
Democratic State Convention which nomi-
mated Hancock, the anti-Harrity and anti
Pattison democrats claimed that the con-
vention was irregular and Illegal, and they
placed Markley's name before the people for
Congressman at Large, under the party title
of the pennsylvania Democracy"
Recently efforts have been made, through
the mediation of Mr.. William M. Singerly,
to harmonic the two Democratic factions.
On Friday last, as the result of conference
between Mr.. Singerly and the leaders of the
Pennsylvania Democracy, the latter an
nounced the withdrawal of their candi-
date, Mr. Markley. Mr.. Harrity, how
ever, with other party leaders, has since
repudiated the terms of the compromise,
though Mr. Singerly is still firm in his deter
mination that it shall be carried out The
ballots with Mr. Markley's name included
had been distributed before the agreement
of compromise was consummated, and all
the candidates, as named above are there
fore in the hands of the voters to-day.

MoRGANs REPORT ON HAWAII.


WASHINGTON Feb. 20, 1894.-Although
the Senate subcommittee on foreign af-
fairs, which met Saturday to hear Mr.. Nor
gan's report on the Hawaiian investigation,
adjourned until tomorrow much OF yester-
day was employed by Senators in Mr..
Morgan's room in an informal discussion OF
the report The report Mr. Morgan has
prepared is an extensive review OF the
testimony taken before the committee,
and touches largely upon the CONNER
cial history and value 'of the islands in
connection with their United States trade.
The policy of annexation is discussed at
length. Mr.. Morgan's final conclusions
and findings make four typewriter
pages It is understood that Mr.. Morgan
blames neither Mr. Willis nor Mr..
Stevens. Referring to Mr. Stevens action
it is understood Mr.. Morgan agrees that
he acted in accordance with the ira
ditional customs and under the general
instructions issued to diplomatic agents
placed in the position where Mr.. Stevens
found himself 1t is further understood that
Mr.. Morgan holds that by her act in at
tempting to overthrow the constitution, the
Qneen herself melted a revolution, and
revolution being under way, the people
arose and put her out of power. So far
as Mr.. Willis is concerned, Mr.. Morgan be-
lieyes he did exactly as he was directed to
any blame was to be attached to his acts.
The authority of the President to appoint
commissioner paramount, it is understood, is
not disputed, and no criticism is levelled at
the Administration because its acts were
based upon the report of the commissioner
sent to the islands to represent the President
The Republicans, it is thought, while not
concedinag all that Mr., Morgans report c; con
tains, will agree with him. in much. They
will doubtless file a supplemental report,
in which they will non-concur in
some of his statements. Mr.. Gray, and
possibla one or two other Democratic mem
bers of the full committee, it is said, will
not accept Mr.. Morgan's report as it now
stands, and will also supplement it by criti-
cism on the acts of Minister Stew
ems and the late Administration.
When the Hawaiian matter comes before the
Senate upon these reportt, all the cores
pondence up to date will be arranged in
chronical order, accompanied by topical
index as Mr.. Morgan yesterday introduced a
resolution to that effect,

FRENCH sPoLIATI0N CLAIMS.
Decision Handed Down I'm the
Famous Ship Tom Case.

Decision Handed Down I'm the
Famous Ship Tom Case.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 30, 1894.-The
Court of Claims today handed down de-
cision in the famous Ship Tom case, making
awards in forty-two claims and dismissing
three others These claims were among the
oldest and most important of the French
spoliation claims
On the 18th day of December, 1880, the
Ship Tom sailed from Boston bound for
London. On the 18th of january, 1900, she
was captured on the high seas by the French
privateer Eole. The ship carried her
proper passport and papers; the ground
of seizure was that a portion of the cargo be-
longed to English owners. The Court now
finds, as the council OF prizes
able and the capture illegal. While
in possession of the prize crew, the
vessel was run ashore on the French coast to
prevent recapture by an English cruiser,
and thereby became a partial loss. Portions
of the vesses and cargo were saved. On NO
rendered a decree reciting the
facts and directing restitution of all that had
been saved from the wreck, as well as the
ships papers, but without indemnity. Sub
sequently the decree was carried into effect,
portions of the ship and cargo had been
saved, and a division OF $44, ,u9o, derived
from the sale, was ultimately divided among
the American claimants.
Judge Mott in delivering the opinion of
the Court stated that the first question in all
these epoliation claims was wheter the Ameri-
can ship and cargo owners had valid diplo-
matte claim against France at the time of the
ratification of the treaty of 1900, and whether
such claim was one of those released for
valuable consideration by the United States
to France The second article of
the treaty declared the inability
of the representatives of the respec-
tive countries to agree, and left the
claims for subsequent negotiation. The sup
Elementary clause appended to the treaty
by Napoleon when First Consul, in substance,
provided that the second article should be re-
trenched, and that by this retrench-
ment these spoliation claims should be relin-
quished to France in consideration of the
public claim which France held against the
United States
Out of this REIMBURSEMENT of private
claims for public consideration, the respon-
sibility of the American Government arose.
Therefore, the claimants are found to be en-
titled to certain sums named from the United
States.
