Hawaii Again.

WASHINGTON, Feb -26-Morgsn, chair
mas of the senate comnittee on foreign
relations, today presented report of the
Investigations of that committse N ade
under the resolution requiring it to re-
port whether any, and If So what, irreg-
ularlties had occurred in the plomatic
or other intercourse between the Uoittd
States and Hawaii relative to the recent
political re Iolution in HAWAII. TIE re-
port was prepared 1y Morgan, and con
Cured in by Frye, ,Dolph and Davis, the
Republican members of the committee,
who make also a supplemental report.
Butter, Turple, Daniel and Gray, Dem
ocrats, submit a minority report. These
reports, together with the mass of eyi-
dence taken by the committee, are very
voluminous. Morgan begins with the
proposition that this government dealing
with any form OF government, IN Hawaii
can have no break in Its line of policy
corresponding to any change in the Of
fee of president. 1t is ia all respects
the same government as If under the
same president during the entire period.
The president, however, has the right o. a
change of mind Ia the same person.
DECLARES AGAINST MONARCHIsM.
The report then declares against mon
archism IN the islands, saying we exer-
else at least a moral suzsrainty over Ha-
waii, which 1t says, is an American state
EN- mbraced 10 the American commercial
and military system, emitting it to in
uulgent consideration if not active sym-
pathy in the endeavors to release her peo
pie from an odious anti Republican re-
gime, and subordinate her people to the
supposed divine right of monarch whose
title to such divinity originated In the
most slavIsh conditions OF pagan bar:
barity.
The report approves Minister Stevens |
order landing the troops from the Boston |
on the ground that conditions existed
which led naturally to an apprehension |
of civil cnmmetion endangerIng the
security of American citizens, and points
out on three or four previous occasions of
similar action being taken, This condi-
non, the report says, grew out OF the eff
tort of the queen TO overthrow the con-
and that her act amounted to
AZ act of sbdication, and neutralized
her power to protect American ciu-
zens.

Wilson Has Typho,d.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-The following
telegram was received at the department
of state this afternoon from Mr. Critten-
den, United States consul-geueral at the
City of Mexico:
Representative Wilson has developed
marked typhoid fever. His condition is
grave, though the fever is as yet of a
mid type DR.. Mlllet Prevest. whom
sent from here to Aguas .Calientes, tn
see him. has had him removed to Quad
alsjara, which he considers location
which will give him the best sanitary
surroundings in Mexico. To bring him
to this city would be most dangerous.
He shall have the best of attention."
William Fl. Wilson, the son and pri-
Yate secretary Of Mr.. Wilson, received a
dispatch from his father early in the day,
asking that The premium on his life in
surance policy. due February 81, be
looked after. While there is nothing un
usual about the request, 1t was taken as
rather suggestive by Mr. Wilson, Jr., and
he was quite uneasy.

Wreck Near Troutdale.

The wreck near Troutda,e Thursday
evening was caused by fallen tree across
the track, which the engineer did not see
in time to reverss the locomotive. From
what little information we cleaned yester.
day the damag- was expected to be consid-
erable; but it appears that, the locomotive
aDd nine freight cars left the track. No
one was inju ed, and the damage to the
cars can easily be repaired. As soon as
possible wrecking crews went to the scene
of the accident, and the debris was re-
moved and the ain and engine replace
on the track. No. did not leave Port
land until 10 o'clock last night, when the
road was all cler, and arrived in the city
at 2:30 this morning. There were no cattle
on the wrecke train, and the report circu-
lated yesterday to the effect that several of
the were killed was not true. From The
Dalles to Portland is most difficult piece
of road to operate, and the Union Pacific
officials in this division deserve considerable
credit for their efforts in kesping the road
open during the winter and spring months
1t requ res pluck and untiring energy to ac-
complish this feat, and the managers of the
western division possess these qualities.

COMPLEMENTARY Languaee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The proceed
ines in the house we're full of exciting
incidents. Bland, being unable to se-
cure quorum, concluded to allow th G
debate On the bill to proceed, at the same
time declaring he would return to the
assault tomorrow. Two sensational
speeches followed. One was by Pence
of Colorado, who denounced the Repub-
licans for submitting to the crack of ex-
Speak .r Reeds whip He called them
sneakers" and dodgers" A dodger,
he SAID, was cross betwesn a Democrat
and Republican cuckoo. He placed
those four Republicans who refused to
fellow Reeds filibustering on the roll OF
honor, and warned him that if the elec-
tion of president was thrown into the
house in 1896, he would rue his filbust-
ering course. The other speech was by
FIthian, who condemned in the severest
terms the action of his Democratic col
leagues in taking part in the filibuster
ing. Toward the, close of the session
Pence's reflections on Pickler aud Ellis
OF Oregon drew forth from them a state4
ment which Pence characterized as "ab-
untrue" He was twice called
to order, and the house by vote refused
to aliew him 10 procee 1t Is probable
that Pence's speech will be the occasion
of further comment tomorrow.
