the board as soon as the decision was
handed down in my favor. as the salary
connected with il is a mere pittance. but

to hold my place at ali hazards. Ny
reasons for this are simply these: I am
informed that it is the plan of the adj

such charges are false and L propose to
make them prove any charges they may
prefer or hold their peace"

ENDORSES HIS PLAN.
House SustnIns the Presidents Hn-
waiian Policy.

wniian Policy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. by a vote OF
176 to 81 the house today adopted the
resolution condemning ex-Minister Stew
ems and sustaining the Hawaiian policy
Of President Cleveland. The republic
ans filibustered against it to the end.
Upon the first vote the resolution was
carried-174 to sand an interesting par
liamentary question was raised as to
whether III instead Of 179 was not a
quorum. Four seats being vacant on ac-
count of deaths. the speaker held that a
majority of the members chosen and liv-
ing constituted a quorum, quoting in
support of his position a review of the
subject made by the ex-speaker in the
Fffty-first congress. His position, how
ever, was warmly assailed by some of the
democratic members. and it was finally
agreed to take the vote over again, SO
that the ruling was eventually with
drawn. The Boutene resolution was de-
feated by a strict party vote.
After the voting upon these resolutions
had been completed Mr.. Bland of Mis-
souri, made an attempt to get up his bill
for the coinage of the silver seigniOrage
in the treasury. The eastern democrats,
led by Messrs. Tracey and Cochran, in
augurated a flibuster, although few
Of the latter indicated by their votes that
they favored consideration of the BILL
and for four hours Mr.. Bland and the
remainder of the democrats were held at
bay. Finding that it was impossible to
secure a quorum to proceed with the
consideration of the bill and that the
house might be deadl0cked indefinitely
upon the proposition, Mr.. Bland directed
his efforts toward securing the adoption
Of a resolution to revoke all leaves Of
absence and TO instruct the sergeant-at-
arms to arrest absentees.
After a persistent struggle, which last
ed until O'Clock. Mr.. Bland was success
fu. and the resolution was passed. In
order TO make il still more effective the
order was made a continuing one till
vacated by the house.
Mr.. BOutelle's resolution, which was
lost by a strict party vote-91 to 161-is
the resolution Mr.. Boutelle has been try
ing to get hearing on for the past few
weeks. The action of the democratic ma
jority insisting on first considering the
Wilson bill and the McCreary resolution
prevented il being voted on before today.
But three demOcrats-Messrs. Cum
miugs, Harris and Sickles-vOted against
the AIcCreary resolution.

senate committee reported the bill with
a small tax. The sugar tax would be
wiped out on the floor Of the senate. All
the republicans would vote against the
tax. All the populists would vote the
same way and a majority of the demo-
cratic senators would vote against the
tax also. As for the bounty, it is
dead Unless the senate makes radical
changes in the bill which the house can
not accede to- the tariff question will be
settled by the first day of April. Sena-
tor Voorhees,. who has charge of the
bill, says the business of the country
can be prepared TO resume by that time.
This is a big jog for VOORHEES,, but he
will surely put the bill through by that
time.
The Pension Agency.
Martin Van Buren, Spencer of FIT.
Wayne will probably be nominated for
pension agent Monday. His nomination
is made out and would be sent to the
senate tomorrow but for an adjournment
Of that body till Monday.
The Bland bill TO coin the silver in
the treasury, amounting to $50. 100000, will
pass the house. This silver has accumu-
lated from the profit made by the govern
ment in buying cheap silver under the
Sherman act, and is known as seigniOr-
age. The Indiana delegation viii stand
ten for the bill and three against. 1t
will command a majority in the senate,
but slightly amended.
