BLoUNT ON THE STAND.
The Ex-Commissioner to HAWAII
Before the Senate Investigating
Committee.

Ex-Commissioner Blount, in answer
to summons, ON yesterday morning
appeared before the Senate Investigat-
ing committee, which is now making
oflicia investigation into the relations
existing between the United States
and Hawaii, under the resolution of
Senator Morgan. After briefly re-
viewing the history of his appoint
ment anu trip to Honolulu, Mr.. Blount
SAID that on his arrival there he found
the Islands and the Government en-
tirely under the control or protection
of the United States troops. The
American flag 1loated over the Gov
ernment building in which the ofic-
ers of the provisional Government
conducted their business. Every
where was noticed the influence of this
country upon the people of the islands
it was evident Mr. Blount said, that it
would be diflicult to secure an impair
tial account or opinions uninnuenced
by the the surroundings as long as
this state of affairs continued. Conse-
quently he decided on the 31st of
March, two days after his arrival that
in accordance with the spirit of in
structions and in the interest of fair
play that the flag should be taken
down and the American troops re-
moved. OF this decision he Informed
President Dole, and on the following
day, the 1st Of April ended the tenn
porary protectorate and had the flag
lowered. This proceeding he defend
ed as within the scope of his mission,
and'as an entirely proper proceeding
under the circumstances. The sub
sequent events, he said, proved that
the presence of the American troops
was not necessary to preserve order or
protect the life and property of either
Americans or natives.

The tariff debate in the House on
yesterday, continued to flow briskly
onward, with an occasional ripple of
amusement mingling with noisy swells
of contested argument,
The more noteworthy efforts of the
day on the complex subject of tariff
reform, were those made by Mr..
Payne, of New York, one of the lead
ing Republican members Of the Ways
and Means Committee, DR.. Everett,
the Massachusetts, mugwump and Mr..
Jerry Simpson, the Kansas Populist.
Mr.. Simpson created the sensation of
the day by illustrating his remarks on
the deplOrable condition of the agri-
cultural classes by displaying dilapi-
dated overcoat which he got from a
farmer on the market place. He said
he could duplicate it on the backs of
million farmers in the United States
today.
Mr.. Simpson said that while he in
tended to vote for the Wilson bill
there were many provisions in it
which he did not approyeof. He was
not of those who ever believed that
the Democratic party brought TO the
test would carry out its pledges, for
he knew while there were honest
Democrats, the action of the Demo-
cratic party, like that of the Republi-
cans, was controlled by money power,
After continuing for some time in
this general strain, Mr.. Simpson sud-
denly dropped down to a solid basis
of facts and figures He declared that
the intolerable burden put upon the
agricultural classes through the in
direct system of taxation had been
one of the potent causes which had
produced the present condition OF af-
fairs, The farmers of the country in
1850 owned 60 per cent of the wealth,
SO per cent. in 1860, 40 per cent. in
1880 and 80 per cent in 1890. 1t was
at this juncture Mr. Simpson created
great applause aud amusement by
treating the House to an object lesson
of his dilapidated overcoat
lie proposed to show the House ex-
actIy what the poor people of the
country did wear. Reaching down
under his desk he slezed a tattered
old over coat fringed at the edge and
bespangled with great patches. He
held it on high while the House and
the galleries cheered.
Il bought that of farmer" said he
"who told me he had left home at IL
o'clock at night and driven twenty
five miles to sell his produce in your
boasted home market. There, as Mr..
Cleveland says, is an object lesson.
[Laughter]
AT the close of his address the speak
er was warmly congratulated by a
score or more of appreciative auditors.
No further incident of note marked
the days proceedings, the House adj
journing at the accustomed hour.

CONVENIENT POLITICS.

A decidedly unique and amusing in-
cident transpired at meeting of the
Senate committee on commerce, ai
Washington, yesterday.
The nomination of Scott Harrison
as surveyor Of customs ut Kansas City
was before the committee for report
TO the Senate. Harrison is the bro
ther of ex-President Harrison, andhas
always claimed to be q Democrat,
though he has voted the Republican
ticket, having voted for his brother
and the Republican candidate for
Congress at the last election. Tars-
ney, the Democratic member Of Con-
gress from Kansas City, wanted an
other man appointed and bitterly
fought Harrison. In the executive
session Of the commerce committee
yesterday the political record Of llar-
rison was shown, and when this was
done the inquiry was made Of the
Republican members as to what they
would do if they were in the majority
aud Harrison was put before them os
u Republican appointee with his rec
ord. They said they would refuse to
report bis confirmation. The vote
was then taken and every member,
Democrats and Republicans, voted
to report against his confirmation,

tween Corbett and Mitchell.
The Duval Athletic club Of Jackson
vile, Fla has just taken another and
most decided step toward bringing off
the great Corbett-Mltchell pugilistic
encounter, by securing license for a
boxing match, which the city author
tiles are compelled to issue, under the
terms of recently enacted ordinance
The license was taken ont by Harry
Mason, president of the club, and reads
as follows:
"To whom it may concern;
Whereas, Harry Mason, on behalf OF
j. j. Corbett, of California, and Charles
Mitchell, of England, and as required
by an ordinance of the city Of Jack
sonville, entitled, an ordinance to reg
ulate exhibitions of skill in boxing or
glove contests, published January 8,
1894, has given twenty-four hours no
tice of the purpose to hold and have
a glove contest or exhibition of skill
in boxing with the said James j. Cor
bett and Charles Mitchell as princi-
pals, said boxing match or contest to
take place in the fair grounds build
ing in Fairfield, suburb of Jackson
vile, on Thursday, January 20, 1894
and the license tax of $25 provided
by law as one of the conditions upon
which permission for such glove con-
test or boxing match shall take place
having been paid to the secretary
treasurer, as is evidenced by the lat
ter's receipt therefor on file in his of
flee. Now, therefore, by virtue of
the authority and injunction embrac-
ed in the provisions of the ordinance
above cited, permission is therefore
granted to James j. Corbett, of Cali
fornia, and Charles Mitchell, Of Eng
land to engage in and have glove
contest or exhibition of skill in boxing
at the fair grounds building in Fair
field, suburb of Jacksonville, on
Thursday, January 25, 1894, provided,
always, that all other conditions not
herein referred to, and embraced in
the provisions of the ordinance regu-
lating exhibitions of skill in boxing
and glove contests shall be complied
with in all respects.
Given under my hand and the cor
porate seal of the city of Jacksonville,
this 18th day of January, 1894.
WILLIAM G. WEST
Recorder.
Adjutant General Houston, Com
mander of the Flollda National
Guards, who has been in Jacksonville
in consultation with the local Military
officers in regard to taking steps to
prevent the fight, refuses to make any
statement as to what the Governors
plans are in regard to the matter. The
local militia will refuse to turn out
should they be ordered to do SO, to
prevent the contest and the situation
remains as before. Although Gen.
Ilouston's presence in the city created
q slight feeling of uneasiness concern
ing the probability Of the contest be-
ing stopped by the Militia, the Duval
Athletic Club prefer to regard the en-
tire thing as a Bluff on the part Of
the Governor to create feeling Of
distrust in those who contemplate at
tending the battle. In interviews to-
night the officials of the club say that
they are unshaken in their belief that
the contest will come off as advertised.
The day has been the biggest in the
sale of tickets since the sale opened.
