THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
A Resolution of Mon Interference, "
on the Part Of Uncle Sam, Pass
es the Senate.

Telegraphic specials from Wash
ington, yesterday, announce the
passage, by the Senate, of a reso-
luton, declaring that the United
States will not interfere with the
affair of the Hawaiian Islands and
that the United States will regard
interference with the affairs of the
Islands by any foreign power as an
unfriendly act. Senator Turpie in
troduced a resolution for the abro-
gatiGQ of the Russian extradition
treaty, and Senator Hill a resolu-
ton for open sessions of the sugar
investigation There was a good
attendance ON both sides of the po-
litical aisle when the Senate met.
Senator Turpie presented a set Of
resolutions adopted by the Legisla-
ture of Ohio, protesting against the
Russian extradition treaty. Sena-
tor Hill then offered his resolution
directing the Bribery Investigation
Committee to throw open its doors
to the public. 1t went over until
today. Senator Turpie offered a
Joint resolution, declaring that it
was no longer to the interest of the
United States to continue the trea-
ty with Russia ratified on April 21, ,
and that notice be served upon the
Emperor of Russia, that the United
States proposes to terminate that
treaty at the expiration of six
months, the time required to be
given by the treaty. He also re-
ported from the committee on For
eign Affairs resolution with a
unanimous recommendation that it
pass. 1t is substitute for the Ha-
waiian resolution reported some
months ago. 1t made no reference
to annexation, and was as fol-
lows.
Resolved by the Senate of the
United States, that of right it be-
longs wholly to the people of Hawa-
Tia to establish and maintain their
own form of government and do
mestic policy; that the United
States ought not in any way to in
terfere Herewith, and that inter
ference in the political affairs of
these Islands by any other govern
ment will be regarded as an act un-
friendly to the United States"
The resolution passed, coming
within one of an unanimous vote,
Senator Mills, of Texas, alone re-
fusing to vote. He stated that the
resolution did not meet his approx
al, hence he declined to vote, either
for or against its passage.

EX-C0NFEDERATE CELEBRATION.
Dedication of the Monument, at Rich
mond Va, to the Con-
federacy.

Yesterdays dispatches from Rich
mond, Va, give the following de-
scription of the previous days de-
dicatory ceremonies.
The unveiling and dedication of
the monument, to the memory of
the private soldiers and others of
the Confederacy, was the occasion
of a great celebration in the his
toric Southern city, Richmond, the
same being attended with Impress
i've ceremonies and an imposing
public parade. AS preliminary
there was a cavalry reunion, at
tended by several of the old Confed-
crate commanders, Gen. Fitzhue
Lee, Wade Hampton, Gov. O'Far-
rell, William L. Jones and Gen.
Rosser being present. Gen. Rosser
particularly attracted attention by
a severe arraignment of the United
States pension laws. Gen. Fitzhue
Lee was Chief Marshal, and in the
line were Gov. OFarrell with full
staff, Gen. Wade Hampton, Volun-
teer Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery,
the Virginia Military Cadets, Grand
Camp Confederate Veterans, De
partment of Virginia, Civic Socie-
ties and Militia, a number of Ladies
Associations and the invited guests.
The orator of the day was Rev. R.
G. Cave. In the course of his ad-
dress Mr.. Cave said: 81 am not one
of those who, clinging to the old
superstitions that the will of Heay-
en- is revealed in the immediate re-
suits of trials by combat, fancy
that right must always be on the
side of might, and speak of Apo
mattox as a judgment Of God. |
do not forget that Suwarof tri-
umphed, and Kosciusko fell; that a
Neece welded the sceptre of empire
and a Paul was beheaded; that a
Herod was crowned and a Christ
was crucifed; and instead of ac-
cepting the defeat of the
South as a divine verdict against
her, I Iregard it as but another in
stance of truth on the scaffold and
wrong on the throne. )"
Mr. Cave closed by saying that
the spirits of the Confederate dead,
glory crowned, hover over us and
beckon on in the paths of patriot
ism and honor.
"Their example bids us to nobly
live for the principles of State
sovereignty and home rule on which
their Government was wisely found
ed by our fathers without which
no vast territory like ours can pos
sibly remain Democratic, departure
from which is rapidly hurrying the
country to a choice between anar-
chy and imperialism, and return to
which is essential to the preserva-
tion of the life of the Republic.

rior officers and to be promoted to
the rank of sergeant. He contin-
ued to distinguish himself, and in
1887 became adjutant of his regi-
ment, and was decorated with the
military medal.
"After a stay of three years in
Toquin his detachment was ordered
to Algiers in 1890, where Ruchounet
continued to distinguish himself by
exemplary conduct. He was look
ed upon as one of the coming men
of the legion.
Gone day he went to his Colonel
and declared that he had a confes-
sion to make, 'Ruchounet is not

Corps to twenty years at hard la
Dor for wrongs in my military adj
ministration, I fled to Switzer-
land, remained there some time,
and then, wishing to rehabilitate
myself, assumed the name Ruchou-
net, and enlisted in this legion in a
small border town, where no one
knew me. That is my story.
The Colonel induced him to sur
render himself to the authorities at
Marseilles, and it was his trial which
came up when | was there. He
told his own story to the court, end
ing with the words: L have COM

tried to make it good by shedding

His case was won, and the elo-
quent defense of his advocate, M.
Demange, was unnecessary. The
court acquitted him, and as Camu-
yet he will return to Algiers to take
up his duties

Kelly's Army.

ST.. LOUIS, May 81. The Common
veal army of Gen Kelly, now in
camp here, divided today, and 500
of the men, under Col. George
Speed, of California, will hereafter
march or float by themselves. The
cause is the alleged arbitrariness of
Kelly, not the least incident in
which is his persistence against the
wishes of the men in allowing two
women to remain with the army,
Speed will endeavor to enforce a
division of the commissary by legal
methods.

FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION.
Romantic Life Of an officer Who Dis
appeared in 1884,

A very interesting story, on an
unusual subject, is thus told;
Who has not heard of the French
Foreign Legion? It's very name
sounds martial and romantic. 1t
recalls stories more active and in
teresting than those Of modern
novels. 1t is the one thing we have
left, service in which can be likened
unto that of the Middle Ages, 50
far as adventure and romance are
concerned,
The speaker was an old French
officer who recently returned to
this country from Marseilles, Two
sabre cuts across his forehead and
little cross worn on his breast
told with sufficient eloquence of a
glorious past. The Colonel went on:
"There was a trial before the
Council Of War in Marseilles a few
weeks ago, the story Of which has
excited great interest in France.
1t is the tale of a deserter.
"About eight years ago hand
some man appeared at the recruit
ing station of one of the border
French towns and asked to be en-.
rolled as a private in sthe Foreign
Legion He said that he was a
Swiss and gave the name of Ruch
ounet. He was sent to Toquir
where he conducted himself most
bravely. His company was one day
ordered to take a fort strongly
armed and defended by 300 Chinese
Ruchounet, whose history, accord
ing to custom, had not been inves

captain and lieutenant were killed
Ruchounet stepped to the front
waved his sword apparently in thu
very face of death and called to hi
men to follow him. A few minute
later he was seen to enter the gat,

SAVED LIFE AND PROPERTY.
Southerners Thankful for the Weather
Bureaus Hurricane Warnings.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Acting Chief
Dunwoodie. OF the Weather Bureau, has
issued a special chart illustrating graphic
ally by six maps the origin and progress
of the West India hurricane, which 'asted
from Sept "A to the 18th. The explanatory
notes tell in detail what steps the bureau
took to advise the public of the progress
of the hurricane and the results. From
Jacksonville the weather observer reports
that as result of the warnings no ship
ping was damaged. All shipping was Sc
cured and thereby undoubtedly saved from
loss. The Savannah observer says that no
vessels left port after the warning; that
the towboat and lighterage companies took
extraordinary precautions; that rice grow
era suffered little loss, and that at least
ten lives were probably saved. A similar
report cores frcm Charleston, S, c., where

The Political Issues Viewed by
Vermonts Ex-senator

BOSTON, Sept 29-At a dinner OF the
Norfolk Club at Youngs Hotel tonight,
ex-senator George F. Edmunds, of Ver-
mont. spoke political issues He said
in part:

and American-Swedes."
Speaking of foreign interests the Senator
said: ''When General Harrison went out OF
Office and cold water was for a second
time thrown the Republican project TO

on the tariff Mr. Edmunds said: The
reciprocity portion of the Mckinley tariff
was a reciprocity OF exchanges and not
of competition, like that OF Canada. which
produces the same as this country. The
work of reciprocity OF exchange gradually
extended our trade TO other countries hitn-

European nations. but with one sweep of

LIVELY ROW BREWING.
The Commission Question Troubling
the Railways Again.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-There is a lively row
brewing between the Western Passenger
Association and the passenger department
of the Central Traffic Association. The
Western roads declare that the Eastern
lines are paying such large commissions on
through business originating in the terri
tory of the Western Passenger Association
that the rates on regular business are be-
ing badly scalped. The Central Traffic lines
are in rather the better position In the con-
troversy, as they are able to remind the
Western lines that on several occasions the
Eastern lines have invited the cooperation
of the Western lines in some arrangement
which would abolish The payment of COM
missions entirely. They have agreement
among themselves positively forbidding the
payment of commissions, while the agree
ment of the Western Passenger Association
has a clause which expressly provides for
the payment of commissions They have
moralization made by the Western roads
that it is the fault of the Western roads
only If difficulties arise. as the Western
roads are the only lines which are willing
to pay commissions, and if they are willing
to take the same stand on the subject as
the Central Traffic Association lines there
will be no more trouble over the matter.
This view of the case does not suit the
Western lines, and a vast amount of cor
respondence is still going on between the
chairmen of the two bodies.

MILLIONS AT STAKE.
Decision Which. if Upheld, Will Cost
the Government Many Dollars.

BOSTON. Sept 29.-An important decis-
ion affecting millions Of dollars worth OF
claims against the United States govern
ment was rendered to-day by Judge Colt
of the United States Circuit Court. The
decision was in the celebrated case of Jo-
seph Burtwell, an importer, against Lever
ett Salstinstall formerly collector of the
port Of Boston The question at issue was
on the Interpretation of Sections 3J1l and
2931 of the Revised Statutes OF 1877. regu-
lating the time. manner and nature Of a
protest against the payment of duties.
Burtwell filed a written protest with the
collector within ten days after liquidation,
but the government contended, when argu-
ing the case, that the protest should have
been made when Burtwell paid the esti-
mated duty Judge Colt has now decided
that Burtwell was right. The government
will take an appeal This is said TO be the
first decision ever given on the point in
question, and, as q test case. involves large
sums of money in claims now pending in
New York and elsewhere.

STRUGGLE IN MIDAIR
DESPERATE FIGHT ON A BRIDGE
OVER CHICAGO RIVER.

Ex-EmplOye-Other Crimes.

CHICAGO. Sept 29.-Two men struggling
Metropolitan l. road bridge superstructure
over the river attracted fully five hundred
persons to the Jackson-street bridge last
night. The battle lasted scarcely three
minutes and then one Of the contestants
plunged headlong into the water. with
feaful cash in his abdomen, from the ef-
fects OF which he will probably die. Mar
tin Randall was. until a few days ago,
employed in the construction of the new
bridge George Atkinson. in charge Of con-
struction, dismissed him for cause, and
Randall left vowing vengeance. Last night
while the night crew was working Atkin-
son was perched on a beam and directing
his assistants below. No one needed Ran
dali as he clambored up the ladder along
side the crane and crept stealthily across
the tangle of iron cross pieces. He reached
Atkinson's side and, catching him by the
throat tried to hurl him into the river.
Atkinson is powerful man and resisted
with all his strength. The combatants
swayed to and fro and the workmen below
watched the battle for life as if spellbound.
Atkinson lost his balance and plunged
downward, but caught at the beam in
tiT.le to hold himself. Randall had straight
eled up as his antagonist shot downward

cured, threw open his coat and drew out a
long-bladed butcher knife. Then, deliber-
ately kneeling down, ne reached below and
plunged the weapon deep into his helpless
hold on the beam and he fell into the
water. Randall sought to escape but was
captured as he reached the ground. Officers
procured boat hook and fished the super
intendent out Of the water. There was a
fearful cash in his abdomen from which
blood was pouring in a tnick stream.
Physicians were called and, after sewing
up the, wound sent him to the company S
hospital. Randall was locked up.
