Warrington Notes.

WAsIIINGroN, Feb. 13 The Hawaiian
resolution was again the subject OF dis
cussion in the senate today.
Gray resumed his argument in sup
part of the presidents policy and reiter-
ated his charges that the revolutionists
were dependent upon the United States
minister and United States troops for
the support of their movement, and that
thereafter the provisional government
depended absolutely upon the United
States forces and flag for protection and
for the maintenance of their government.
He read an affidavit in which it was
deposed that John II. Soper, now COM
mander of the national military at Homo
lulu, had declined at first to accept COM
mand, but afterward accepted, saying
Il have had satisfactory assurances
from the old man himself (Minister
Stevens) that the American forces will
give support, and l intend to take
hand"
The senator proceeded to argue that
the provisional government could not
have stood one hour without the sup
port of the United States forces.
The full significance OF the present
Hawaiian situation came out at the
close OF Gray's speech, when, in col
loquy with Teller, he admitted that as
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee he understood the efforts OF the
president, moral or diplomatic, to restore
the queen were at an end, and that the
present minister to Hawaii had no di-
rections to pursue further effort to that
end.

Mr.. BOissevain's Plan for the ReOrgan-
ization OF the Road.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-The senate
committee on Pacific railroads was in
session the greater part of the day,
listening to the presentation of tho petit
ton Tor the reorganization of the Union
Pacific, made by M. Boissevain on behalf
of the Holland bondholdera. Boissevain
and his attorneys, Stettaon, Simpson &
MoTowitz, were present and engaged
with the committee in a thorough dis
cussion of the affairs of the road. Il
appears that the stock of the road 10
largely in the hands of heirs Or their
guardians, and none have authority
TO institute 8 reorganization,
which renders it necessary for
the bondholders to move in the matter.
The Holland house which Mr.. Boisse-
vain represents has placed about $780,
100000 of the roads first mortgage
bonds in Holland. He is also a mem.
Der OF the commmitee on reorganization.
The proposition he makes the commit
tee is for an extension for period of
100 years at low rate of interest; the
company to be allowed to operate the
system, including the main lines and
branches, and the bonds to be secured
by the entire system and not the main
line alone as at present. The bondhold-
ers also agree to reduce the first mort
gage bonds to the average of SIC, 600 per
mile on the main line and branches.

A Move in the Right Direction.

We are glad that Health Oficer Brun-
ner has turned his attention 70 the con-
ditions which surround portions Of the
meat and milk supplies of this city. 1t is
doubtful if there is another city in the
country where there is so little attention
paid by the authorities to protecting the
people against mwholesome articles Of
food. The people are left to protect
/ themselves in this matter Health ON
Ger Drummer is reported as saying that an
I inspection Of a dairy of thirty cows was
MADE at milking time two years ago, and
/ that not one COW was in a clean condi-
/ ton. The udders. legs and trunks Of the
| cows were covered with slime, " aud the
( flow of milk was in an extremely filthy
state Well, was ever anything done to
correct that condition of affairs What's
the use of making an inspection Of meats
or milk if nothing is done 10 remedy the
evils Of which complaint is made? Do
not the authorities know that there are
filthy stables in which are kept cows
from which a portion of the citys milk
supply is furnished What good does it
do TO tell the public that milk is being
sold to them that is not wholesome2
What is needed is a thorough reform of
this meat and milk business. The city
authorities should see TO il that cows are
confined in clean stables, and that the
milk that is sold is wholesome. 1t is a
part of their duty to do this.
And then note what the health officer
says of the way meat is brought into the
city. 1T is he says, dumped into a
dirty street wagon, without a cover to
protect it from the dust and filth of the
roads and streets The butcher and his
helpers, in their soiled clothes, sit on the
carCasses, their feet often resting on
them And this is the sort of food that
is offered to the people of this city. If
they could see the way that some of the
meat that is brought TO market is handled
they would never put piece of it in
their mouths. Tney couldn't swallow it
if they tried
1t is certainly time we got rid of these
Objectionable ways of handling articles of
food that are offered for sale in the mar
kets. What we do have let US have clean
and wholesome.
It might be a good thing for the mayor
and aldermen to take look at the stables
in which are kept the cows that supply
the people with milk, and notice the way
meat is brought to the market house.
They might receive object lessons that
would induce them to undertake the re-
, forms the health officer suggests-not
only to undertake them, but carry them
into effect promptly and vigorously. The
things complained of are of long standing,
and it would require courage and deter
mination to change them for the better,
but surely they can be changed if the
right sort Of effort is made.
The diaries ought to be outside of the
city limits, and the cows ought not to be
permitted to run at large. Grass should
be cultivated and the cows should be kept
on private pasture lands. The health of
the city would not then be imperilled by
having the drains closed by cattle cross
ing them or entering them for water.
