Hawaii in the Senate.

Washington, Jnauary SIN the Senate
today, Mr.. Chandler, Republican of New
York, offered a resolution directing the
judiciary com mittee to inquire and re-
port its opionion as to cases in which the
President may constitutionally send
agents or commissioners to foreign
coutries without the advice and consent
of Congress.
Let that resolution lie over" said
Mr.. German, Democrat, of Maryland,
and the resolution went over till tomor-
row.
Then Mr.. Hoars resolution (offered last
weekly calling on the Secretary of the
Treasury for statement as to payments
to Mr.. blount, commissioner to Hawaii,
was laid before the Senate; and MIR.
German moved it's reference to the COM
mittee on foreign relations.
The Hoar resolution and the motion of
reference gave rise to a discussion, Mr..
German and Mr.. Gray arguing that such
expenditures are always made out of the
secret service fund and that inquiries as
to details have never been made and
should not be made
Mr.. Hour said that all he wanted to
know really, was whether the payment
OF Mr.. Blount came out of that fund OF
whether Mr.. Blount was paid as other
ministers are paid
Finally, the Hoar resolution was re-
ferred to the,committee on foreign affairs
Then Mr.. Turpie, Democrat, OF Indiana
offered resolution, which went over til
tomorrow, declaring, among other things
that foreign intervention in the politica
affairs of the Hawaiian Islands will be
regarded as an act unfriendly to the gov
ernment of the United States.
The Frye resolution as to Hawaii sswa
laid before the Senate and went owe
until Wednesday.

from Hawaii.
Boston, January s.-A Washington de-

''The rumor current in administration

spatches brought by the Corwin contain
the startling information that there has
been conflict in Hawaii; that the ma
rines hrve beeu landed, and that some
have been killed. 1t is impossible to
verify this, but it is a fact that this is
whispered about the Capitol cloak rooms
by those who are called administration

A Card.

My attention has been called TO an edi-
torial article in Saturday afternoons is
sue of the Daily Dispatch making certain
charges and insiuuations against me with
the idea of inducing some Of my support
ers to believe that have been deceitful
and treacherous to them, and with the
intention of inuring them and me by
prejud.cing my candidacy for the state
Senate.
1t is not necessary for me 10 deny such
charges to my personal friends and ac-
quautances, but for the information Of
the public at large I desire to state that
the charges and insinuatiOns Of that arti-
Gle are absolutely without foundation,
and are willfully and maliciously false
from beginning to end.
Fortunately the members Of the Tam
many Club, whom this article is chiefly de-
signed TO influence are too well versed in
the political tricks of the enemy to be
taken in by such a transparently open net
as this. l defy anyone to specify any
word or act of mine which shows any
lack Of appreciation on my part Of the
Obligations Of loyalty and gratitude l am
under 10 that club in this campaign for
the honor they have rendered to me- On
the contrary, as is well known to them,
have worked hard and faithfully to in
| sure the success Of the whole ticket.
1t was well known at the time of my
nomination, and is well known now, that
am not a member of any of the political
organizations here. My course from first
to last has been thoroughly consistent.

FELL THIRTY FEET.
M. J. G. Mays Meets With a Seri-
Gus Accident at Tybee.

Gus Accident at Tybee.
Mr.. J. G.. Mays, division slperinten-
dent Of the Southern Express Company,
with headquarters at Atlanta, fell out Of
a third story window Of the Tybee hotel
last night about 9:30 o'clock Just as the
last train was leaving for the city, and
was quite badly, though it is thought
not seriously injured.
Mr. Mays came down from Atlanta last
night for the purpose Of seeing Mr.. +. G..
duBignOu on business connected with the
express company. and arriving in the city
about dark, he went to the island to spend
the night He had a room on the third
floor OF the hotel, which opened on the
court yard or between the kitchen and
the north wing He retired early and
was preparing to 20 to bed just before the
last train left the island.
The window sill of the room is very
close TO the floor and he was sitting Ia q
chair with his back TO the window and
very close to it. He had Just asked his
secretary, Mr.. Smithso1, to open his
valise and get out someth fraa from it, His
secretary could not find the right key,
and as Mr. Mays arose to feel in his
pocket for it his chair. slipped and he
lost his balance. Before he could
catch himself he fell out of
the window. Mr.. Smithson saw him fall,
and as quick as possible iumped forward
TO stop him if possible He caught his
foot Just as he reached the window, but
had nothing to brace himself against, and
Mr. Mays being very heavy man, it was
impossible for Mr.. Smithson to hold him
without falling out himself, which might
have resulted fataily to both.
Mr. Mays fell to the ground from the
third story, a distance of over 30 feet,
on the plank walk below In falling his
head struck the wsnEow sill cutting a
heavy cash. He. fell with his full weight
on the Walk A crowd soon gathered
about him, and Mr.. Bohan, seeing that the
last train. had Just started for town,
stopped it until cot could be procured
and Mr. Mays was put aboard
He was brought to the city on the 9:30
train and taken TO the Savannah hospi-
tai Or. Charlton had been wired for,
and wasat the depot when the train ar
rived. He could not tell a bout his inju-
rics there, but had him taken at once to
the hospital. 1t was found that he
was quite badly injured about the head,
having a severe cut and several bad
bruisess His right leg was broken at the
knee, aud his lower lip was badly cut,
but otherwise he was not injured. He
was unconscious from the shock he re
ceived, but regained consciousness before
the train arrived in the city, and when
the doctor saw him he was talking about
mis- injuries.
Mr.. Mays had arrived at Tybee but 1T
tie more than an hour, before the accident.
He.is a man of about POO pounds weight,
and such a fall must have been a severe
one. DR. Charlton said, however, thai
while his injuries are necessarily painful,
they will not be serious He will proba-
bly, be able to be about as soon as he re-
covers from his broken leg. Mrs. Mays
was telegraphed for last night and will
probably come down tonight or to-mor-
row morning.

ARoHER's ONLY STORY.
He Stands by One and Declares All
Others False.

Others False.
The MORNING NEWS announced yester-
day the bringing to Savannah of Henry
for the murder of John jackson, at Oliver
two months ago. Archer was seen at the
jail, and was asked about the various
statements he has made since his arrest.
Archer seemed glad Of the opportunity
to tell his story He declared most posi-
lively that all of the statements he has
made duplicating other parties in the
murder, with one exception, were false,
and that he made them when in fear of
his life and because he believed that he
would be killed if he did not satisfy his
captors with a story of some kind.
The only statement which he abheres
to is that the pistol given by him to
Henry johnson was given him by SCharf,
the piano tuner two or three days after
the murder. He claims that he knows
no reason why Scharf should have pre-
seuted him with the pistol, His expla-
nation of how he came to give the pistol
TO Henry johnson of BuIlOch county is
not very satisfactory. He saws that he
went to the funeral of cousin and car
ried the pistol with him in the hope of
selling it. Not being able to do this and
having no use for ii, he let Henry Johnson
have it to keep for him.
Archer declared that after his arrest at
Oliver he was taken out into the woods
at night with a chain around his body and
q rope around his neck. The party car
ried him to an Old gin house, where he
was told that unless he confessed every
thing he would be killed The party
started to swing him up two or three
times. He asked for time to pray,
which was granted him. The only thing
he could think Of to tell his captors. he
said, was the story about seeing Henry
Butler. George Jenkins and Scharf drink
ing together at John Owens house.
which IS Just in the rear of jackson S
store, on the night OF the murder. This
story Archer asserted to be
only the fabrication of the moment
20 save his life. As soon as he was
taken to the county Jail in Sylyauia,
where had more protection, he SAYS he
denied this story How he came to tell
the story he explained by saying that
George jenkins had got jug of liquor
cut of the express Office that day. and he,
Butler and Jenkins were at John Owens
house at night drinking it.
According TO Archors statement the
liquor was mean enough TO make man
commit murder or DO anything else des-
perate. He declares that Scharf was not
present at owens house when the iiquor
was being drunk and that he did not see
him that night
Archer is fairly respectable looking
