HIS Nomination Acted on the Same

His Nomination Acted on the Same
Day as That Of the Marshal.
There has been considerable comment to
the effect that 1t was strange that the
Senate should have confirmed the nominal
ton of Marshal A. A. Wilson on the day
following its presentation to the Senate
without acting upon the name Of Commits
sioner Ross, which was sent to the Senate
several days before Marshal Wilson was
nominated. This. however, arises from q
curious misconception of the facts. Mr..
Ross nomination was sent to the Senate
on the 4th instant, and the Senate ad-
1ourned on that day until Monday. Marshal
wilson's nomination went in on Monday.
Neither nomination was sent to a COM
mittee, as 1t is not customary for the Sem
ate to insist upon this process when the
nominee has already been confirmed by the
Senate In both cases the nominee had held
the office before. Accordingly On Tuesday
both nominations were taken from the table
and confirmed. In the case of Marshal
Wilson the seal of secrecy was removed SO
that his commission might issue at once,
and he might enter without delay upon the
discharge Of his duties.
There was no necessity for this haste
however. in the case of Mr.. Ross, who could
hold his position under his former commits
sion without any break until his second
commission had been signed. So in the case
OF his confirmation the usual rule was OBJ
served or permitting the name to be held
over two executive sessions before being
made public. Yesterdays executive session
therefore released the name. but by ac-
cident it was not printed in this mornings s
Record. Accordingly Senator Voorhees,, who
bears strong personal regard for NJ.
Ross, took the pains to go to the District
building this morning and inform the Com
sioner of his confirmation on Tuesday.
This clears up all the doubt that may
have existed concerning the matter and
SHOWS that there was no undue preference
shown one official over the other.

A Truce in the Senatorial Fight at
Trenton.
REPUBLICAN DOORKEEPERS GIVE WAY.
Democrats Fail to Transact Any
Business.
AWAITING A DECISION.

TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 1.-There were
the senate chamber all night. A few min
utes before 10 o'clock this morning demo-
cratic Senators Hinchlife of Passaic and
Winton Of Bergen. followed by two or three
hundred men, approached the chamber.
One of the republican doorkeepers opened
the doors and the crowd entered. Michael
Nathan, the democratic sergeant-at-arms.
then ordered the republican doorkeepers
out and pushed one Of them slightly. This
was what the republicans expected and
wanted. Their doorkeepers walked out
quietly. The democrats were thus again
in possession Of their chamber. There
was no excitement whatever.
Democratic Senate AdJOurns.
The democratic senate convened at 1OSO,
President Adrian In the chair. and without
transacting any business whatever ad-
journed until tomorrow morning.
The house temporary committee on pass
ed bills. accompanied by Speaker Holt.
yesterday afternoon took to the executive
chamber the bill passed by the house and
the republican senate. repeating last years 9
race track laws. Both Gov. Werts and
Private Secretary McMaster had left the
city, and Executive Clerk Fox refused to
receive and receipt for 1t in their absence.
The governor Is not expected back in
Trenton before Monday.
The Attorney Generals Opinion.
The opinion of Attorney General Stock
ton, sought by Gov. Werts. as to the legal
status Of the two senates. is awaited with
interest by the democrats as well as the
republicans. The latter believe that it
will be adverse to them, but they have
long since discounted its effect.
Word from the attorney generals office
Is that the opinion will not be made pub
lie until the governor returns.

The report Of the Walker board, appointed
to Inquire into and report on defects in a
number of warships. has been submitted
to the Secretary of the Navy with refer
ence to the gunboats Machias and Castine
The board reports that these gunboats are
ursafe with their present armament, being
a unique change to remedy the defects. 1t
proposes that the two vessels shall be
iengthened fourteen feet, and thus give ad-
dltional foundation for the heavy guns and
masts. To do this 1t will be necessary to
cut the vessels in half, and the estima ted
cost OF making the alteration is 1000
The plan adopted by the stability board is
radically different from that proposed by
the board of bureau chiefs of the Navy De-
partment, which was, in effect. to remove
the instability by placing cement along the
keels OF the vessels and to replace the
heavy masts with lighter ones. Secretary
Herbert will act ON the report in a few
days.

JOHN BULL THREATENS.

The London Papers Declare That Eng.
land Will Shave Something to Say'
About Hawaiian Annexation.
LONDON. Jan. 11.-In leader on Hawaii
and the United States the Morning Post
says:
1T would be difficult to find in medieval
annals a more scandalous record Of in
trigues than the history Of Mr.. Harrison's o
dealing with Hawaii. Mr.. Cleveland's good
intentions will not avail unless he is pre-
pared to forcibly dispossess the conspirators
who gained power by the illegitimate use
Of the United States fiag. The absurdity of
Mr.. Harrison's and his party's ambitions
u that they are INDUCED by people whose
admirers are continually reading US lessons
on the superiority OF republican institu-
tions."
The Post adds: 1T is a long time since
the world has seen anything 20 fantastic
In the history Of democratic people as
the contrast between poverty and financial
disaster at home and the first foundation
OF q maritime empire. as proposed by Mr..
Holman"
The Globe. in an article on the Hawaiian
situation. says that President Cleveland has
pointed out that the deposition Of Queen
Liliuokalani was effected by the misuse OF
the name and power Of the United States,
without the sanction Of the central gov
ernment of the American people, wherefore
he can hardly refuse to reinstate the queen
who did not resist her deposition, confiding
to the honor Of the United States Some
Americans would like to adopt a course
that will lead to the annexation Of the is
lands, but others besides the Hawaiian and
American parties will have something to
say Of that solution of the question"

Mr.. WILSON OF WASHINGTON
Gives His Views Upon the Attempt to
Restore the Ex-Qusen.
His People Passed solutions Favor
Ing gAnnexatton-The Administra-
tiOn Deceiving Congress.

Mr.. Wilson of Washington, speaking of
the Hawaiian matter to a Star reporter
said:
Our people In my section Of the country
In the last legislature Of the state Of WASH
ington passed a memorial for annexation.
Our people. more particularly of Washing
ton, are favorable to the requirement of
these islands. have never yet reached the
conclusion that annexation was a possibil-
ity, but have reached the conclusion that
those people who are seeking a better form
OF government should not only have the
sympathy Of this government to that end,
but in such way as they can lawfully and
honorably render them every assistance
within the power of this government in be-
half Of constitutional government. do
not believe that the American people, thor
oughly saturated with the spirit of '76, and
born beneath the flag. will consent that a
republican form of government shall be
busily engaged to restore the queen to an
upset throne.
Little Bit Tricky.
'Mr. Cleveland seems to have been q
little bit tricky with Congress. He has
never before engaged in that sort Of busi-
ness. Whether this is due to himself or
to his late republican premier. 1 cannot
say. But l am with these people, as far
as one small individual is concerned, and I
believe that they should be left to attend
70 their own business. The last admins
tration recognized the provisional govern
ment by sending minister there This ad-
mlnistration sent their minister to this pro-
vislOnal government, and II seems To me
tnat they had better let those people get
along by themselves.
Congress should set its foot down on
this paramount commissioner busin ess and
all that sort Of thing, disavow the whole
Poncy and say that these people be al.
ioweo 10 attend to their own business,
