Naval Board Recommends Lencthen;np
the Machias and Castine.

Washington, January 1O.-The report
of the naval stability board appointed to
inquire into the defects in a number of
warships was submitted to the Secretary
of the Navy with reference to the gun
boats Machias and Castine, by Commo-
dore Walker, its president. The board re-
ports that these gunboats are unsafe
at present. being top heavy and
unstable, and recommends that the
two vessels be heightened fourteen feet,
giving an additional foundation for the
heavy guns and masts... To do this it
will be necessary to cut the vessels in
two. Tt is estimated that the cost of
making the alteration will be $50, 900.
The plan proposed by the bureau chiefs
of the Navy Department was, in effect,
to remove the instability by placing
cement along the keels of the vessels and
replacing the heavy masts with lighter
ones. Another plan proposed was to
take off the forward part of the poop antt
remove the mess and music rooms.

Washington, January 10-No further
steps will be taken by the executive
branch of the government to carry out
the policy of restoring Queen Liliuoka-
lani. Secretary Gresham said todayathat
the settlement of the whole Hawaiian
question was in the hands of Congress
and everything that would aid it in
arriving at conclusion would be sub
mitted by the President. All documents,
reports and other communications re-
ceived by the State Department from
Mr.. Willis would be transmitted to Con-
gress as soon as they came to hand, and
all communications OF an official nature
addressed to Mr.. Willis would go to Con-
gress as soon as they were mailed to the
minister. The report of Mr.. Willis on the
latest phase Of the Hawaiian situation
was not received at the State Department
today A gentleman, said to have had
an interview with the President on the
subject, is authority for the statement
that, while the President is sorry Mr..
Willis made the demand on the Pro-
visional government, he admits the min
ister did no more than carry out his in
structions, obeying the letter instead of
the spirit as was intended. Steamer
Mariposa will sail from San Francisco
tomorrow for Honolulu and will afford
the first opportunity for COMMUNICATION
with Minister Willis. She will un-
doubtedly carry message to him to
suspend his action under his previous in
structions until the President shall be
advised of the wishes of Congress in re-
gard to the Hawaiian question.

SAINT JOHN, N. B.,
December Is, 1892.
GENTLEMEN:
Our daughter, twelve years old,
has always been sick from weakness
of the stomach and limbs; pain
across her back, and general de-
bility have kept her from school.
We could not get help for her from
the several doctors whom we tried.
The countless medicines we bought
gave her no benefit. Her appetite
never was good; all she ate was
few mouthfuls of graham bread at
a meal. Last summer we lost all
hope, for we were afraid of her
dying of consumption. Six weeks
ago she could not walk two hun
dred yards without getting very
tired. Now she can walk to the
city, two miles, and back, without
the least weariness; her appetite is
such, she relishes anything hearty
man would wish to eat. For the
first time in her life she knows
what health is.
The mother says, For twenty-five
years have had severe sick head
aches. Nothing ever eased them
until 4 Lsed
Ggoder's Syrup,
which has wrought q permanent
cure. No less than six physicians,
and medicines without number, have
failed to help me.
The father speaks: I have had
dyspepsia almost ever since can
remember. Of course I was better
sometimes than others, but I have
always suffered with vomiting, dis
tress in the stomach and bowels,
dizziness, and habitral constipation
until I used Groder's Syrup, which
has cleared my head, given me a
good appetite, and my food does
not distress me- Our statements are
all trne, and l am ready to answer
questions concerning them.

GORMAN SPOKE.

The Maryland snaser Dafsads the Com-
promise Bill.
WAsHINGToN. May 2A.--Announce-
ment that Senator Gorman would speak
upon the tariff bill had the effect Of
bringing ont larger attendance than
usual.
Senator Kyle introduced resolution
declaring for non-intervention In Har
waiian affairs, which went over, and
then the tariff bill was taken mp.
Senators Jones and Platt discussed
the ss1s' rail amendment for time,
after which Senator iorman, pale from
his recent illness, took the aoor. He
spoke klowly and in q low tone. He re-
hearsed the difficulties that had con.
frontsd the Democratic partyiin dealing
with the question Of tariff reform. The
difficulty was not ali In opposition, but
in internal dissension as TO how the
fruits or victory should be secured.
Not Dissussing the wilson Bill.
After denying that action ON the tariff
measure had been unusually delayed
MIR. Gorman continued.
II do not propose to discuss the merits
or dement's Of either the original Wilson
bill, or the measure FIRST reported BY
the finance committee. It 10 sufficient
to say that there never has been )
moment when either could command D
majority OF the votes In this chamber.
We might deplore such q condition, and
others might, and did rail against those
in measure responsible for it. But
the fact remained that we could not
pass the bill.
'sSuch was the situation the Demo
cratic senators had to meet and they
met 1t, by the introduction Of q Demo
cratic measure of tariff reform, which
merits, and believe, viii receive every
Democratic vote in this body, the en-
dorsement OF Democratic house, the
signature Of Democratic president,
and the approval Of the Democratic
party"
Constructed ON Democratic Lines.
In answer 10 tho charges by the Re-
publicans, Mr.. Gorman asserted that
the bill had been constructed on the
Democrats theory OF tariff for revenue,
with such incidental protection as could
be given consistently to tho industries
of the country. It followed strictly the
course marked out by President Cleve-
land Ia his letter of acceptance npon
which he was re-elecfed and the Demo
cratic party intrusted with full power.
II was Democratic because it reduced
taxation to the requirements Of the gov
eminent. 1t was just; IL was wise; II
was businesslike; it waS patriotic and It
was prudent because 1t did not attempt
10 ignore facts ii carrying ont theory.
It WIS not perfect, but Ii was the most
logical, most fair. most broad, most
timely and wonld prove the most ad-
vantageous tariff legislation enacted

existence,
