ADVICE GIVEN BY SWINBURNE.
Further Hearing Before the Senate
Subcommittee Looking Into
the Hawaiian Muddle.

WASHINGTON. Jan. II. - Lieutenant
Commander Swinburne of the Boston was
the only witness before the Senate's SUBJ
committee investigating the Hawaiian
question to-day. He is the officer who had
active command of the American troops
ON shore in Honolulu at the time of the
revolution, and his testimony was consid-
cred important. as 1T bears upon some
points which have been in dispute. and to
which much Importance is attached. He
was questioned concerning the time o.
landing. the location of the troops IN
Arion Hall. and the time of the surrender
OF the station-house. He was also asked
to explain how the troops chanced to be
located at Arion Hall. and reminded of
the charge made by Blount and the friends
OF the ex-Queen that, of all places, this
was the one best calculated 10 serve the
purposes of the Provisional Government,
the hall being located just across mar
row street from the Government building,
where the troops would prove a menace to
the Queens forces.
1t is understood Swinbnrne admitted
that more fortunate selection could have
been made, and said that he had, previous
to the landing, advised that some other
place be chosen. In the main, however,
his testimony corroborated the statements
of Minister Stevens and the officers of the
Provisional Government. He contended
that there had not been any cons piracy
involving the naval forces. Swinb burne
was also reminded of the discrepancies in
the statements concerning the time of the
surrender of the slation-honse, and said
this occurred two or three hours after the
landing of the Boston's troops, or about
1880 P. NJ.
The State Department has received a
dispatch. dated at San. Francisco, from
Samuel Parker. ex-Prme Minister and
Minister of Foreign Affairs in ex-Queen
Liliuokalani's cabinet, refuting the state
ment that the ex-Queen has any intention
Of seeking damages from the United
States for her deposition from the throne

FIGHTING FOR SUGAR.
Louisiana Objects to Being Thrown
Overheard Now.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 1.-THE gloomy
outlook for sugar and the urgent telegram
from the Louisiana delegation in Congress
was the cause for an influential delegation
of ar-planers leaving for Washington
last night. They included John DymoGd.
James P. Kock, James a. Ware, w. b.
Krumphoar. III. Z. Warmotb. S. A. Knapp
and Emile Rose-all large planters and
leaders in the Democratic councils, save
Governor Warmoth, who is a Republican.
Dymond, chairman of the committee. said {:
1--WE believe as Louisiana has stood true
to the Democratic party for twenty-five
years IL is not now the time for the Demo
cratic party to throw Louisiana overheard
and destroy its main industry, which it
threatens to do by the pending legislation.
We will make that argument on every op-
portunity."
The fight will be made in the Senate
only, as the House is conceded to be
against them. The sugar men have aban-
doned the hope of a protective tariff. and
Dymond said the delegation would confne
its efforts to arguments in favor of coDtin-
uing the two-cent bounty. He believed
Congress would regard the bounty as a
contract and let it stand.

NOT PERMITTED BY THE HOUSE
The Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee Must Stick
to His Text.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-The Ways and
Means Committee suffered Its first defeat
to-day when, by vote of 122 to 112, the
committee of the whole rejected Wilson's
amendment fixing the date on which free
wool would 90 into effect at August l,
1894, and adopted the substitute of j hn-
son, the Ohio free-trader and single tsxer.
making it 60 into effect Immediately on the
passage of the bill. Many Republicans
voted with the radical Democrats for the
substitute. 1t was Wilson's Intention,
had his amendment prevailed, to have
offered an amendment making the woolen
schedule go into effect oil Dece N Der /,
1894. but when the committee overruled
him be decided to let the latter schedule
stand and 60 into effect with the rest of
the bill. in June, 1894 Just before the
vote was taken Wilson stated that joboers
were now hesiiating whether to place their
orders for all goods here or abroad. and If
the committee amendment carried home
manufacturers would make next falrs
goods.
Only one other amendment was acted on
to-day, to allow free entry in bond of the
machinery as well as the materials used
in the construction of ships built for for
eign account. The rest of the day was
spent in discussing the amendment of
Burrows to substitute the present wool
schedule for that proposed by the Wilson
bill, and at $50 the House took a recess
until evening.
AT the hight session Sperry (D.) of Con-
necticut. made a vicious assault on the
Wilson bill on the ground that in the face
OF a certain deficit in the treasury of
$4,000 900 by June 30 next, in the face Of
an appeal from the Secretary of the Treas
ury for bond issue, the Democratic Ways
aud Means Committee had brought in a
bill ostensibly to raise revenues which If
passed would increase the present esti-
mated deficit to S145, 100000. This was a
free-tIade bill, and if the issue between
free trade and protection were ever pre-
sen ted to the people of the country their
verdict would be overwhelmingly in favor
OF protection. The other speakers were
Bowers, Hunter, Hulick and Post.
