FEATURES TORN TO PIECES.
Democratic Senators Found Very
Hard to Satisfy.
HAWAIIAN RESOLUTION AGAIN
Now Comes MIR. Hicks With q Bill to
Settle the Silver Bullion
Question.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-Senators DAM ell
Caffery and White of California have.
given notice of speeches on the Hawaiian
resolution this week, and it is probable
that other Senators will speak upon the
subject. There will be an effort TO have
the resolution disposed of during the
week, as therelwill also be to get Stewarts
bond resolution off the calendar. The
Senate will endeavor to make the week. as
far as possible. cleaning up week, 80 as
to make way for the tariff debate, which
will necessarily prevent consideration Of
less important subjects when it shall once
be begun. Special orders for the week in
clude the consideration of the printing
site, the Russian. Thistle and McGar-
rahan bills.
The Democratic members of the Senate
Committee on Finance have decided they
will not be able to report the tariff bill in
full to the committee by Tuesday next
One OF the members of the subcommittee
said to-day he would not attempt to say
when the bill could be reported. 81 shall
be very well satisfied" he said. 'if the bill
in any shape can be reported by the begin
ming of next week." The reason for the
postponement is the fact that the work of
satisfying Democratic Senators has been
found a very difficult one. When the sub
committee began work they had before
them the draft of a bill upon which 1t was
believed 1t would be an easy matter to
secure an agreement. but this bill has been
changed in some respects several times
and become so worn from handling and
erasures that it has become necessary to
destroy the original copy and replace it
with a new one.
There is much demand for concessions
on minor items, and many of the most i'm
portant features of the bill ara entirely
Enacted upon. Sugar is included in this
list, and it looks as if its fate would be the
last question to be determined by the sub
committee.
The fight over the ssilver seigniorage
bill will be resumed in the House to-mor-
row, and Bland is confident there will be a
quorum on hand. Once quorum is OBJ
tanned it will be brought 10 vote il need
be by special order from the Committee on
Rules, the Speaker having promised a
special rule if an emergency demands it.
The remainder of the week will be de-
voted to contested election cases and ap-
preparation bills.

wrongs held up by Valiant, Pallas and
other martyrs" as worthy of emulation.
He said hundreds were ready to sacrifice
their lives in the great cause. He himself
was perfectly prepared to do so. They
had nothing to live for but were simply
the slaves of capitalists. Speeches were
useless and physical force was necessary.
When the Government and Asauith aban-
doued making Maxim guns for use against
the people the latter would relinquish the
manufacture of dynamite bombs. he ad-
vIsed workers to read books upon chemi-
Gals. which they would find in pubic IL

the sentiments of the leaders. Many de-
tectiyes in citizens clothing were present.
