SILVER cssrIrlcsrls.
Attorney General oiAsy Gives an Opinion en-
Their Legal Status.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Attorney Gen.
eral Olney, today, in reply to formal re-
quest, dated Feb. II, sent to the secretary
# the treasury an opinion in regard to the
legal status Of silver certificates in which
ne holds:
"Silver certificates are just what the,
ourport to be on their face and by their
ferms, that is, they attest the fact that the
United States has on deposit so many silver
lollars which will bepaid to the holder upon
presentation and surrender of such certifi-
Gates. If they can be regarded as money
1t all it is only because the United States
agrees to receive them for the customs,
taxes and all public dues, only to that extent
and tor those specific purposes
''In my opinion" the attorney general
.dds, ''they are not lawful money within
he meaning of section of the act of June
20, 1874, and section 3 of the act of July
l2, 1887"
The opinion Of the attorney general, it is
understood, was asked for by Secretary
Carlisle because of the disinclinstion OF
rational banks to receive silver certificates
10 exchange for legal tender presented fol
redemp i'm. Its effect will oe to contract
the use of silver within the bounds specified
in the decision.

M0RGANS REPORT

port.
The report Mr.. Morgan has prepared is
an extensive review OF the testimony t. ken
before the committee, and touches largely
upon the commercial history and value Of
the islands, in connec i'm with their United
States trade, and The policy of anne xation is
discussed at length. It's understood that
Mr.. Morgan blamss neither Mr.. Willis no,
Mr.. Stevens; that he agrees that MIR. Ste
vens acted in accordance with traditional
customs and under general instruction is
sued to diplomatic agents placed in the poti-
ZION in which he found himself.
II is further understood that Mr.. Morgan
holds that by her act in attempting to over
throw the constitution the Queen herself
melted the revelations, and, the revolution
being under way the people arose and shu,
ner out Of power. Mr.. Morgan believes
that Mr.. Willis did exactly rs dire cted and
was, therefore, free from blame, if an,
blame 10 to be atrIched to his acts. The
authority Of the President to appoint COM
missioner paramount, it is understood, is
not disputed, and no criticism is leveled a,
the administration because its acts wer.
oased upon the report Of the commissioner
sent to ihe islands to represent the Presi-
dent.
The Republicans, it is thought, while not
conceding all that Mr.. Morgan's report con.
1sins, will agree with him 10 much. They
will doubtless file a supplementary report
Ia which they will non concur in some OF
his statements. Mr.. Gray and possibly one
u two others of the full committee, it il

t now stands, an6wili also supplement il

When the Hawiiisn matter. comes be-

he said was signed by over 1000 citizens OF
Massachusetts, favoring the passage OF the
Wilson tariff bill as "offering substantial
measure Of relief from the most burden
some exac.ions of the existing tariff law
lie was asked by Hoar TO state the name
which headed the iist of signcrs and he re-
piled that the first name was Henry L.
Pierce.
Iloar said the petition went on the princi-
pie of advocating a tariff for protection. If
the opinion of the people of Massachusetts
we're taken, there would be more than l0O.-
900 maj ,rity against the views expressed in
the peuti3n.
Voorhees, remarked that he found among
The signers few other distinguished names
and mentioned John M. Forbes, William
Lloyd Garrison, Amos w. Stetson, Mr.. En-
dicott and that class of men, signifying, he
said, that the memorial Was not partisan
paper. He received with it private letter,
stating shating that the signers were largely
made up Of men who had, up to this time
voted ihs Republican ticket.
Hoar remarked that the name of Mr..
Forbes would command respect and rever-
ence wherever it was heard in Massachu-
stts and he had no c. mment to make on
the other names.

over till tomorrow, for new rule OF the

The resolution provoked brisk discus

Of order against it, that, under call of the
House the resolution could not be enter
tsined, not being proceeding to obtain the
presence of quorum.
Reed further pointed out that the call
had just demonstrated the presence of q
quorum, which of itself would take the
resoluii IN out of the category of proceed
ings 10 obtain one. McCreary objected to
to the resolution because it excepted only
the committee on appropriations from its
operations, while other committees were en-
gagged in the preparation of appropriation
bills as we'll as the committee on appropri-
atoms. "The members of these commit
tees" he said, "will always come into the
House 10 vote and it is not necessary to
take the action contemplated by the resolu-
tion.'
Bland emphatically denied the accuracy
of McCreary's assertion, stating that the
committee on public buildings and grounds

bers, when notified that vote was in prog
ress, refused to repair to the hall. Oppo-
sition to the resolution impelled Bland to
withdraw it, and further prccee iings under
the call were dispensed with. The third
