THE RELlEE BUREAU.

Hereafter Superintendent Hoadley Will Publish a Weekly Statement of His Work.
 The relief bureau is still in existence and doing about its usual volume of busl- ness. Last week 176 persons applied for assistance. On investigation 1t was shown that 157 of these were entitled to receive relief, the others being refused assistance on the strength of information to the ef-
 feet that they could manage to live on the income at their command. They money
 value of the supplies doled out during the week amounted to S163, and this does not include clothing and shoes. The superin-
 tendent has under consideration q new
 method of imparting information to the public relative to the workings of the bureau. He proposes to issue weekly
 statement of the receipts and output, to- gether with athe number of applicants, which will be published. It k evident
 that the snow storm will increase the num- Der of applicants, so that those who have
 not yet given anything to this laudable
 work, and who probably have been wait ing for an opportune time to do something 1 for the poor, would do well to send in their contributions now. There is no need of
 withholding your offering through fear oi overcrowding the rooms. Everything sent
 in is carried away quickly and put to good |

SOME QUEER LAWS.
How Selcctmen Can Get Together an
 Fine Themselves NIN Each.

How Selcctmen Can Get Together and
 Fine Themselves @IH Each.
 Here k gem of Connecticut law making from an Act relative to high ways
 "Whenever any highway shall become blockadrd with snow to an extent that renders the same impossible for public travel, the selectmen of the town in which such highway Is located shall cause such highway to be opened for public travel at the expense of such town, within q reason- able time thereafter, If they find the same to be required for public convenience and necessity. Any selectman who shall re- fuse and neglect to open any such highway according to the provisions of the pre- ceding section. when requested in writing to do so by six taxpayers residing on or near such highway, shall forfeit S1O to the treasury of the town
 That k to say. the selectmen have a right to get together and decide that they find cleaning of the highway advisable and then fine themselves S1O apiece. It Is highly probable that the sngacious select men of Connecticut will not be over zeal ous to find the same to be required for public convenience and necessity" Here Is another beautiful piece of legal style:
 Each wild duck, wild goose, brant sora. rail, snipe. rutlcd grouse, quail, woodcock. gray squirrel or other animal or bird killed, taken or possessed contrary to the provisions of the law relating to said birds or animals shall be deemed sepa- | rate and distinct offense.'

Dull Day In Congress.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 13.-The Hawaiian controversy occupied the principal time of the senate, Senator Gray of Delaware open ing his argument in defense of the policy of President Cleveland. Early in the ses- sion an interesting incident occurred in the presentation of Senator Cullom of a pc tition signed by 5000 woolgrowers of the west protesting against the free wool clause of the new tariff bill
 The speech of Senator Gray in the Ha- waiian matter was devoted principally to an attempt to prove the complicity of Min ister Stevens with the revolutionSts, the senator citing the evidence of members of the provisional government to show that they were in daily consultation with the minister previous to the revolution and that they expected the protection of the American troops in their plan to over throw the queens government. Senator Gray did not conclude his speech.
 It was District of Columbia day in the house, and a number of bills affecting that part of the country were considered. The latter part of the day was devoted to eulo- gies OH the life of the late Senator Stanford of California

 WASHINGTON, Feb l3.-The president transmitted tu congress additional Hawaii nn correspondence. The presidential mes sage is as follows:
 To the Congress:
 transmit herewith two dispatchcs received a few days ago from our minister at Hawaii and a reply to one of them from the secretary of state, in W hi"h a correct version is given of an interview which occurred \ON It, 1893. be- tween he secretary of state and Mr. ThurSton, representing; the Hawaiian provisional govern meut al Washington.
 GROVER CLEVELAND.
 Mir. Willis first dispatch mentioned in the presidents letter relates the particu- lars of his refusal to participate in the ob- servancc of the celebration of the first an piversary of the provisional government The second dispatch contains an addition al excerpt from President Dolc's letter of Jan. Ii to Minister Willis, which the latter seems still not to have had time to tran scribe for transmission in full.
 The letter relating to Grcsham's and Thurston's interview is dated Feb. 7. In it Secretary Gresham writes to Minister Willis regarding statements made by Dole, quoting an interview between Thurston anu uilllScll. lie SaNS He lol two inter- views with Thurstou on Nov II, which were very brief. At the first meeting ThurstOn submitted two questions-One as to the authenticity of the letters published in the papers from Mir. Gresham to the president and if it was the intention of the president to use force.
 To the first Gresham replied in the affirmative, while to the other he said that a cabinet meeting was about to be held and he had no time to talk with the minister At the second interview, when ThurStOn called by an appointment and the question about force was repeated, Secretary Grcsh- am told him that no action would be taken by Minister Willis which would imperil the lives or property of the provisional government, and if they suffered in any way it would be in consequence of their own acts or attitude
 Thurston said the answer was not satis- factory, and he wanted the secretary to be more explicit. Gresham replied that he could not be more explicit at that time and added, You can draw your own inferences from what l have said and correct any false impressions that may have been created by what has been published.
 The secretary says he answered the sev- eral questions from slip of paper on his table He did not say in either interview that he was not at liberty to answer either question.

Trouble Threatened In Samoa.

VICTORIA, B. C., Feb l3-Later news from Samoa is that scarcely had the Brit ish warshps left those waters when ru- mors of disatfection were again rife. The cause is the proposed disarmament of ma tives. Thamasaga district natives favor the proposal if carried out generally, but in other districts the natives declare they will fight rather than have their war i'm plements impounded by any power, treaty or otherwise There is trouble brewing. Consuls have warned the disatfected Sa- mOans that no nonsense will be tolerated, but the situation is believed to be serious.
