BLOCKED BY GRESHAM.
Why rhursfon did Not Testify Before the
senate Committee

WASHINGTON. Feb. Tt is stated
that the plan Of having Mr.. Thur>ton,
the Hawaiian minister testify before
the special senate committee now in
vestigating Hawaiian affairs was
blocked by Secretary Gresham. The
committee wanted To hear from Mr.
Thnrston. and il is said the chairman.
Mr. Morgan. requested the secretary OF
state - write him 10 appear before the
committee.
This Is the usual diplomatic way Of
>ummoning the representative of for
eign government 1t is understood
that the committee desired to get Min
ister Thurston To make 4 statement re-
garding the circumstances immediate
" preceding and attending the de-
thronement OF Queen Lilioukalani lie
j. said 10 have endeavored unsuccess-
fully To lay the information before the
state department some time in advance
of the arrival OF Commissioners Blount's
report In his prepared statement he
fatty contradicts most of the essential
the revolution.
According 10 the story current to-
day. Secretary Gresham was very
much perpleNed over senator Nor
gan's request. and without act
ing on it visited him and per-
suaded him 10 withdraw it, One Of the
most potent APPOINTMENTS in bringing
about this result was that Minister
Thurston could not testify before the
senate committee in his official capac-
ity rs the diplomatic representative OF
the provisional government OF Hawaii
without rendering himself persona non
grata to the administration TO an ex-
tent that would practically end his use
fulness in Washington.
The secretary argued that while the
president might be willing TO overlook
his private utterances in criticism Of
his policy toward Hawaii. he could not
he expected 70 continue friendly rela-
tions with the representative If for
eign government who should do the
same thing in his official capacity be-
fore 4 committee OF the senate The
result Of this conference was that Mr..
Thurston was not invited before tho
committee.

TO WARD OFF DISEASE.


WASHINGTON. Feb. Recognition
of the possibilities that the cholera
wave which has been making progress
around the world from Asiatic sources
the past two years may reach the
nited states next summer is made in
the sundry civil bill reported to the
house.
No direct appropriation for fighting
the cholera j. made. but one clause OF
the bill provides for the use of the
large uncNpended balance remaining
from last years appropriation Cor this
purpose. In the sundry civil bill
passed last March the sum Of 5000. 900
was provided for fighting the cholera
and other epidemic diseases as there
was thought to lie AT that time immi-
aent danger of an invasion Of the
plague.
While the officers Of the marine hos
pital service were employed through
most Of the summer in efforts to ward
off the cholera which had gained 80
strong n foothold in Europe and in
fighting yellow fever IN Georgia. hut
s2Uo.0uo of the appropriation was used
and the balance. 500. 900. remains un-
touched in the treasury.
There was some discussion in the
meetings Of the subcommittee which
drew the snndry-civil bill as TO
whether this large sum should ne
covered back into the treasury or
LEFT at the disposal OF the Marine
hospital. or whether an entirely
new appropriation under different con
ditions should be recommended. II was
decided 10 leave the balance OF $780,
600 "a an emergency fund to he drawn
upon in case If need. and TO place IL at
the disposal IF the president as had
been done hast year

BLANDS SElGNIoRAGE BILL.
Secretary Carlisle Not >trenuousIy OPP
posed tn Its Passage.

WAsHINGroS. Feb. 7.-Secretarv Car
Isle, accompanied by Representative
Bland, appeared before the house CON
mittee on Judiciary Tuesday. 1t was
developed later that the secretarv's visi,
with Mr. Bland did not mean that the
former Intended 10 lend his inhuenc,
to the passage of the seigniorage bill.
They had met casually at the secre.
tary's Office. and as Mr.. Bland was 70
ing TO the capitol Mr.. Carlisle accom-
panied him for the purpose of talking
over the Bland bill with the silver lead
er. This talk brought out the fact that
the secretary was not strenuousiv op-
posed To the coinage OF the seignorage,
although he did not approve Of some
of the propositions in the Ella nd bill by
which this added silver coinage was to
be secured. 1t is understood that the
secretary pointed out flaw i'm the
first section Of the bill, which Mr.
Bland himself concluded should be
modified.
The section provides that the secre-
tary Of the treasury shall immediate
Iy issue silver certificates in anamount
equal 10 the ~eigniorage Of the silver
bullion. to-wit: s55. l56.6si
Mr.. Carlisle pointed ont that the man
datory provision that the secretary
shall Immediately issue s5a.15g.Gsi Of
silver certificates j. hardly necessary.
a. the current expenses might not re-
quire the compulsory issue of such
large amount Of silver certificates at
single stroke.
Mr. Bland said that he had appre-
ciated this point. and was ready To Of
fer an amendment when the bill was
taken up. By which the secretary will
lie given authority to issue the silver
certificates as circumstances demand.
instead If being compelled TO issue
them in blocks Immediately
Mr. Tracey idem.. Of New YORK
has made a preliminary canvass Of the
house. which satisfies him that the
scigniorage bill will be defeated by :
or 10 votes. il full membership can be
secured, but this Mr.. Tracey does not
expect. lie Is ready. however. to raise
the point Of consideration against the
bill, and this may delay the debate
