A QUEER CHURCH CHIMNEY.
1t Causes Some Excitement in Q
Otherwise Quiet NeighbOrhoOd.


Otherwise Quiet NeighborhoOd.
The Calvary Baptist Church, Sth and H
streets, has chimney which affords the
neighborhood some amusement and the
passers-by much anxiety at times. 1t is
situated at one side and just at the base of
the steeple as 1t leaves the roof When a
fresh fire is made the smoke curls about the
steeple In an alarming manner the chimney
being invisible.
This morning an unusually dense smoke
issued forth. small boy stopped, hands in
pockets. and gazed upward; next a man
was gazing heavenward, and in less time
than it takes to tell it II street was throng-
ed with elevated chins AS fast as one set
Of people learned from the janitor within
that it was ''aIl right" and passed on,
another crowd would form. 1t was amusing
to see several men enter, not through the
door into the sheepfold,' which was hut a
few feet Off, but through q lower window
Then some enterprlsing Individual, without
taking this trouble or making inquiry, sent
in telephone alarm, and an engine and
hose carriage arrived upon the scene
The men of the hose carriage first at
tempted the window, but thought better of
1t, and walked in by the door, A few mo-
ments later they could be seen on the roof,
their long coats futtering in the breeze, as
they examined. the chimney aperture They
evidently found everything all right, and
after their departure and that of the puff
ing engine around the corner the crowd
gradually dispersed. A sign, Chimney" on
the ornament which forms one would be
anything but ornamental. 1t would, how
ever, prevent many stif necks. But it
would also prevent a little excitement in a
quiet neighborhood, which is much relished
by it's inhabitants.

whether Congress as now constituted
would take any action in that direction was
a question he could not answer.
MIR. Bellamy StOrer.
MIR. Bethany Storer OF Ohio, who pre-
pared the minority report Of the committee
on foreign affairs on the Hawaiian resolu-
tons. came in as Mr.. Hit closed his re-
marks. He said so far as he was able to
Judge. the backbone and sinew of the de-
rnocracy in Congress was strongly opposed
to the Presidents Hawaiian policy. 1t was
only the surface froth of the party that
stood by him, but what action. il any, un.
quite another matter. He did not believe
that, however antagonistic the leaders
might be to the Presidnet's policy and I'M
heard of assumption of authority. they
would permit the passage of an impeach-
ment resolution. This, nevertheless, was
only conjecture. He did not know to
what extent the democracy would go in
patriotic defense Of the nations honor.
What Senators Say.
Almost without exception democratic Sem
ators refuse to talk for publication concern
ing the news of the latest developments in
Hawaii, although some Of them discussed
the matter in private. The news has caus-
ed them to express themselves privately
perhaps more freely than heretofore. and
all their expressions are based upon the
superstition that the news is authentic. Re-
publfcans. naturally. are freer to criticise
the policy Of the administration.
Mr.. DOiph (OregD replied that 1t was I'M
necessary for him to say how he looked at
the subject. for he was always on record.

precedent for his act If he were to give
Mr.. Willis his passports and ask him to

been landed. be they American, English or
any other kind. they should be repelled.'
Looking for Another Message.
Minister Willis seems to be proceeding
as far as he can do So" said Representative
Hooker of Mississippi, a member of the

He is evidently following the precedent OF

commanding a British ship, hauled down
the Hawaiian flag and ran UP the British
standard When the commodore the sta
ton reached the islands he restored the
Hawaiian flag to its place and compelled
Capt. Lord Paulet to salute it.
Il think we shall have a message to Con-
gress on the subject in a day or two, and
then we shall know all about It. The COM

then come uD for consideration"

The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Chandler instructing the judiciary commit
tee to inquire into the authority for the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Blount as commissioner

Of the Senate, was laid before the Senate.
Mr.. Vest Cdo.) moved to lay the resolution
on the table, stating that the whole matter
touching affairs in Hawaii was now under
going investigation by the committee on
foreign relations.
Mr. Sherman tOhio) took the same view
of the question. and suggested that 1t would
be disrespectfui to the committee on foreign
relations to have another committee in
structed to inquire into the same matter.
In view of these considerations, Mr..
Chandler withdrew his resolution.

Mr. Gray Del) gave notice that he would.

consideration of House bill repeating the

Mr. Chandler remarked that no Senator
on the republican side was prepared to
speak today. and asked Mr.. Gray to let the
bill go over till Monday.
Mr.. Gray did not feel justified in acced-
Ing to that request. but said that he had no
intention to press the bill unduly to a final
conclusion.

WHAT MR.. BLOUNT SAYS.
Cautious About Relieving Hawaiian
News That Is Not Omcial.


Mr.. Blount who was summoned by the
Senate committee investigating the Ha-
waiian matter, arrived In Washington this
morning and had an interview with Sena-
tor Morgan. He will be before the COM
mittee to answer such questions as they
submit In review of his report and con-
cernfrg the situation in Hawaii as he
found 1t. His examination by the commit
tee will probably be Of considerable length.
Air. Blount is, OF course. very cautious in
conversation concerning Hawaiian mat
tiers. He would not discuss the present sit
uation In Hawaii or go into any details
concerning his work there. He said, how
ever, that he was very cautious about ac-
official channels, as he knew how intern

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 9.-Some-
body tried to break into Jim Corbett's room
Sunday night about midnight, and was fired

run. Corbett rushed back, grabbed his re-
volver and fired twice without result. With
a full hand of clubs. spades and shot guns,
the party then searched the thicket high
and low for burglars, but nobody was found.
The pugilist had very little sleep during the
remainder Of the night. His room was on
the ground floor, with two windows opening
upon the piazza. He promptly moved up
stairs. where he will sleep hereafter, secure
from all marauders.
Mitchell is suffering from bruised ell

has to have his arm in a bandage.
