Ex-Minister Stevens Exonerated by the
Senate Committee.
The contention that Minister Stevens
conspired for the overthrow of the FL
waiian monarchy, and that it would
never have fallen but for fear of the
power of the United States, finds no
favor in the report of the senate COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Morgan was chair
man. This report shows con clusively,
upon the evidence elected by the COM
mittee In an exhaustive inquiry into
the whole case, that the queen was re-
sponsible for her own downfall; that the
constitution and her own oath to sup
port it being the only foundation for
her legal authority, her announcement
of purpose to absolve herself from
that oath amounted to complete abb
dication and left the islands without

1T HURTS THE FARMER.
How the Wilson Bill VIII Operate
American Producers.

How the Wilson Bill WIN Operate on
American Producers.
The trainers of the Wilson bill put
agricultural implements on the free
list The American manufacturers
called the attention of the senate COM
mittee to the fact that the only real
competitor of the United States In the
manufacture of those articles was Can
ada, and that while it was proposed to
admit Canadian implements duty free
the dominion imposed on such articles
made in this country duty which was
so high as to be prob 'bitory. They
asked therefore that the present duties
on imported agricultural implements
should be retained against Canada
The justice of this is apparent and
for some reason the finance committee
yielded to the demand and prepared the
proper amendment. But it refused to
60 farther in this direction by applying
the same principle to other articles.
The Wilson bill places eggs, cabbages
and some other products of the farm on
the free list. Canada imposes duty
on such articles. Therefore, the, Cana
dian farmer under the Wilson bill can
send his products free across the boun-
dairy line. The Vermont or New York
farmer cannot send his into Canada
without paying a duty on them The
senate committee refuses SO to amend
the bill as to retain the old duties where
the Canadians collect duties.
While the Wilson bill places on the
lowers greatly the duties on others, but
does not call for concessions in return.
For instance the present duty on
horses, of which a large number used
to be imported from Canada, is $50 per
head. The pending tariff bill changes.

precise language Of the report on this
point is as follows:
''Liliuokalani had only been kept on her
throne by the forbearing tolerance Of the white
people, who owned fifty million dollars OF the
property on the islands. 1t required nothing
but the determined action Of what was known
as the missionary party to overthrow the
queen, and that action had been taken before
the troops from the Boston landed. There was
no executive head Of the government OF Ha-
waii; 1t had perished." F"
Mr.. Morgan concludes, in view of all
the facts, that Minister Stevens was in
no sense party to a conspiracy; that
''the recognition (by HIM of the pro-
visional government was lawful and
authoritative" and that his only error
was in declaring a protectorate over
the islands-an act which. it will be re-
membered, President Harrison prompt
ly disavowed. There can be no doubt
that these conclusions will be finally
ccepted as the judgment of the coun-
try as to this whole affair. They are
the only conclusions possible upon q
fair and judicial Interpretation of the
facts involved. That the report is a
practical vindication of the last admin
istration, goes without saying. 1t ap-
plauds the very acts which Mr.. Cleve-
land was suspiciously alert In con-
demning And it rebukes in explicit
terms the departure of the present ad-
ministration from the settled policy OF
the country in the support OF republic

its influence is felt When throne"

western hemisphere it is pulverized,
and when scepter departs it departs
forever, and American opinion cannot
sustain any American ruler in the at
tempt to restore them, no matter how
virtuous and sincere the reasons may
be that seem to justify him" In this
statement, the report expresses the un-
doubted conviction of our people. and
that conviction will not be modified or
changed by any special pleading OF
cuckoo statesmen or any appeals to
party prejudice or passion by the or
gans Of partisan opinion. Les

On Monday the first payments on
beets for the season Of 1894 will be
made by the Utah Sugar company and
on that day $4,000 will be distributed
among the farmers of Utah and Salt
Lake counties, that being the amount
due for heets used by the factory DUR
ing the month Of September. The COM
pany has already paid out $4,000 in the
payment of its labor for the same
month The distribution of this money
among the people of the two counties
named viii have a splendid effect and
make life considerably easier for many
OF the farmers, who are congratulating
themselves upon the fact that they
did not plant their entire farms to
grain and other regular farm products,
but left that branch of the farming in
dustry to the owners of farms in To-
calities which have no market for
sugar beets, even should they raise
them.
General Manager Cutler of the COM
pany, was in the city yesterday and in
response to questions put by a Herald
reporter, stated that the production of
sugar by the factory was between
$4,000 and 100000 pounds, with the
amount being rapidly increased day by
day. Nothing could work smoother
than does the machinery of the plant
and an exceptional record is being
established. The construction of the
new beet sheds. or houses, is progress
shy rapidly and with their completion
the company will be able to take care
of 10000 tons more beets than former
ly. 1t has been decided not to put
roofs on the buildings. Mr.. Cutler says
he has learned something in the pres
ervation Of the tubers and viii not
roof them over.
various claims for beets were being
made out yesterday at the Office of the
company in this city. Although the
amount to be paid out on Monday is a
neat sum, Manager Cutler says 1t is
not much more than 10 per cent of
the monthly payments to be made by
the company from the LIST of October.

Cattle company, is back from the south,
where he went for the purpose of start
ing his outfits on the round up of the
cattle credited to the company, of which
he now has the control, subject to the
orders of the court. These cattle are
scattered throughout Beaver and Iron
counties and the central eastern part
of Nevada, and there are supposed to
be over 1000 head of them bearing the
brand of the Ryan & Ream Cattle COM
pany. 1t is anticipated that the loss
will be fully 80 per cent, and it is more
than likely that it will be considerably
heavier. Mir. Barry stated yesterday
that he had placed all of his men on the
ranges but did not anticipate that the
round up would be completed before the
first of December. then the question
will be what to do with the cattle, and
the probabilities are that another sale
will be negotiated. The cattle are re-
ported to be in fair condition for the
withstanding of the coming winter,
should it be necessary to hold them.

Proceedings Were Valid.

1t now develops that the proceedings
which ultimately resulted in the or
dering of the sidewalk pavements on
West Second South street from Sixth
West street to the river were perfect
ly legal, and while not as regular as
might have been, they leave no loop
hole out of which the property own
ers who are not protesting and declar-
ing the action void, can crawl. They
have already been given two opportun-
tiles to protest and took advantage of
neither. It is very likely that the col
lection of the assessment will be Or
dered at once, and in the event of a
further refusal on the part of the de-
linquents to liquidate, some sales of
property will be the result.
Not having received official notice
from the city council that there is any
question as to their receiving payment
for the construction of the walks, the
contractors are proceeding with the
improvement and have now reached
Ninth West street, leaving but two
more blocks to construct. On account
of the scarcity of asphaltum, they have
asked the board of public works for an
extension of time to complete the
walks, as the contract time ex-
pires on Monday. The request will be
granted

THE ALMo PROPOSITIONS.
Lookiay to Settlement With the
BuiEion-Beck.


BuIEion-BecL1.
As stated by The Herald some days
A ago, the Almo Mining company has
stbmitted another proposition looking
toSa settlement of all differences, to
the Bullion Beck and Champion Mining
company. In fact, there are a brace Of
propositions and one of them is now
being considered by the directors Of the
Bullion-Beck, the other having been
laid aside pending further investiga-
tions and developments. Just what
the figures are the interested parties
are not prepared to say, but it is said
that one of the propositions carries
with it the purchase of the Alnlo prop
erty. which is said to be an extension
of the Bullion-Beck on the northwest.
One proposal has already been re-
1ected by the Beck people. This latter
provided that the Almo company was
TO receive the sum of S225, 900 for the
mine. s35. 900 to be paid down and the
remainder in installments equal to one
half of the value of the ore extracted
from the Almo ground. Without di-
vision the directors of the Bullion-Beck
declined to enter into such an arrange
ment and it is now said that the other
side is willing to accept considerably
less for the property. 1t is at their re-

The board of directors Of the Bullion
Beck held a special meeting yester-
day afternoon and received the PROPOSE
tions of the Almo company. But one
of them was considered and this the
directors took under Amusement They
then proceeded to the consideration Of
the mill project which has been on
the tapis for some time past, the delays
being caused by the slowness of the
completion of the plans. Most of the
blue prints were on the table before the
directors during the meeting. but owing
to the lack of some necessary details,
final action was deferred temporarily
and the matter Of awarding the con-
tracts for the machinery went over.

RUSHING THE ROAD PAVEMENT.
Great Quantities of Quartzite and
Stag Being Used.

Down on the State street paving
over 800 tons of quartzite and Stag are
daily being delivered, and this great
quantity of material is entering into
the construction of the new road as
fast as delivered. The contractors on
the work are hurrying matters with
all the speed possible, in order that
the pavement may reach Murray by
the 1st of December. The county court
is determined to give the outside peo-
pie smooth and handsome thorough
fare from one end of the county to
the other and the improvement is be-
ing much appreciated, while on the
northern end of the road, between
Twelfth South street and Murray, the
quartzite forms the entire roadway.
On the southern end Stag is being put
in as a foundation and is making a
splendid base. 1t is considerably
cheaper than the rock, on account of
the reduction in the wagon haul.
AS has already been suggested sew
eral times, it would now be good
idea for the city to fill in the gap which
now stretches from Fourth South
street to the commencement of the ma
cadamized road. The same material
as that used by the county could be
utilized in the construction of the four
blocks of roadway.
