VIEWS OF SENATORS.

Restored by Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-There were but
a few Senator'S inclined to express any
opinion upon the Hawaiian affairs to-day.
Senator Palmer said that he considered the
Hawaiian incident as virtually closed. Con-
gress could not put the Queen back.
Senator Davis agreed with Senator
Palmer in the opinion that congressional
action was out of the question. 1T u.s. ne
said, absurd for Mr.. Cleveland TO say that

nothing Congress can do, now that the
treaty is withdrawn If the law requiring
beheading for treason had been applied to

decapitated two years before she became

spiracy to dethrone the King"

They Take LOdgers.
PHILADELPHIA Times.


A very peculiar thing is the way some
fashionable families are now taking dodgers
or renting rooms Such a thing was prac-
tically unheard OF before On fashionable
streets, in elegant-looking and beautifully
furnished homes, there are people whose
names are on the assembly list, and VINO
have entertained in the past, who desire TO
rent out portions of their domiciles TO re-
special BILE tenants. In some instances they
do this on various plausible preteXts, but
often they simply acknowledge that they
do it on the score of economy. 1t has grown
to be almost saying that there is hardly
a square in the most aristocratc quarter
of the city where you cannot ring the bell
and ask to be shown rooms for rent. Take,
for instance, the most fashionable spot in
Philadelphia, Rittenhouse square, and there
are houses filled with dodgers. More than
two-thirds of the houses on Walnut street
between Twelfth and Twenty-second streets
are given over TO boarders and dodgers.
More than a majority of the houses on
Spruce street between the same squares
are occupied in the same way. Locust
street is one of the few thoroughfares sup
posed to be given over to private residences.
and yet there is not a square west Of Broad
rtreet that is not dotted with lodging
houses. and east of Broad there is little
else. In fact IL is not too much 10 say that
in the old city, especially west of Broad
street and between Chestnut and Pine
streets private residences are rapidly dis
appearing ana every year by scores are be-
ing let out for doctors and other Offices
and to transient dodgers.

VOORHEES, SWEATING AGAIN.
This Time He fs Troubled Over the
Winchester Postmastershfp.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ii Quite a spirited
contest Is quietly raging here over the
postmastership at Winchester. Colonies
Miller and Williams, two prominent veteran
Democrats. OF that city. have been in
Washington some days, representing the in
terests OF the two factions and as many
asptrants. Senator voorhees, is just now
sweating over the opportunities of these two
gentlemen Some months ago an election
was held at Winchester by the Democrats
who are patrons OF the Office when John
r. Heaston was indorsed for appointment
10 the office. He was promptly certified to
Senator Voorhees,. who, in turn, gave him
formal Endorsement and recommended his
appointment. There are two other prom
inent aspirants for the position-L @. Ell
bingham, editor Of the only Democratic pa
per in the county. and S. o. Irwin. o.
Z. Davis has been mentioned in
connection with the position, but has not
been up TO this time, regarded act

voorhees, was Informed that the election
OF He4ston at the primary was the result
OF practical joke; that many men voted

stood the ghost of a chance for success

,crats did not desire his appointment. The
Senator was told that Mr.. Ellingham was
the best fitted for the position and the real
favorite. IL Is understood that Colonel Mil
Ter is here representing Ellingham and has

Williams represents the selection of the

The dispatch from Minister Willis of Nov

with this, is as follows:
Sir-In the forenoon of Monday, the 18th

was present a the half-hour interview
which followed, her chamberlain having
been taken to another ROOM, and Consul
general Mills, who had invited her to come,
remaining in the front of the house to pre-
vent interruption. After formal greeting
the Queen informed that the President
Of the United States had important com
munications TO make to her. j asked wheth-
or she was willing To receive them alone
and in confidence, assuring her that this was
for her own interest and safety She an
swered in the affirmative L then made
known TO her the Presidents sincere re-
gret that, through the unauthorized inter-
vention Of the United States she had been
Obliged to surrender her sovereignty and his
hope that with her consent and cooperation
the wrong done TO her and TO her people
might be redressed. To this she bowed her
acknowledgements. then said TO her: 1.-The
President expects and believes that when
reinstated YOU will show forgiveness and
magnanimity; that you will wish to be
Queen of all the people. both native and
secure their love and loyalty. to establish
peace. friendship and good government" To
this she made no reply.
After waiting a moment continued:
"The President not only tenders you his
sympathy but wishes to help you. Before
fully making known to you his purposes

answer certain questions which ii is ny
duty 10 askT'
She answered: II am willing"
L then asked her: SHOULD you be restored
to the throne, would you grant full am
nesty as to life and property to all those
persons who have been who are now
i'm the provisional government, or who
have been instrumental in the overthrow of
your government?
She hesitated a moment and then slowly
and calmly answered: There are certain
laws of nv government by which / shall
abide. NV decisions would be the law

headed and their property confiscated to

/ then said to her: do YOU fully un-
derstand the meaning OF every word I
have said to you, and OF every word which
you have said to me. and if so. do you
still have the same Opinion?
Her answer was: II have understood
and mean all have said, but L might leave
the decision Of this 10 nv Ministers"
To this I replied: Suppose it
essary to make decision before you ap-
pointed any Ministers, and that you were
asked to issue q royal proclamation OF gen.

WASHINGTON, jan 13.-Secretary Car
isles reported purpose Of issuing bonds
by virtue Of the general au-
thority granted to the Secretary
OF the Treasury under the act
Of 1915 has aroused the interest of some
Of the leading constitutional lawyers of the
House as to the legality Of such action It
1t well understood that Mr.. Carlisle would
not resort to this general act ex-
cept for the purpose OF meeting
the pressing demands for cash.
Judge Culberson. of Texas, chairman of
the judiciary committee of the House, and
most IL not AL his colleagues on that COM
mittee say that while the Secretary has tie

views to-day he referred to a report made
TO Congress on July 8, 1892. 1t was in re-
Spouse to a resolution of inquiry presented
by Representative Dockery. asking whether
under the act OF 1910 the Secretary of the
Treasury had the right to use the proceeds
OF any moneys in the treasury arising from

ner, Layton, Wolverton, Fellows and Blu
chanan- All of these gentlemen, with the
exception OF Messrs. Fellows and Buchanan
are members of the present House
and are regarded as authorities on
legal questions. In the report
they say: There Is no Limitation upon the
authority OF the Secretary of the Treasury
TO sell bonds for the purpose of redemption
under the act but the proceeds derived
from such sales cannot Be used for other
than redemption purposes. The report
furthermore states IF the reserve funds
