GEAR WILL BE SENATOR.

Indications seem to point to the cleo
| ton of eX-Gov. John II. Gear as senator
from Iowa to succeed James F. Wilson,
| the present incumbent. Mr.. Gear claims
| to have within tour votes of majority
| of the Republican members of the leg
islature, and when the caucus meets on
Friday evening next he will probably
have little difficulty in corralling the
necessary number when the breakup
| occurs after the first ballot. There are
nearly dozen aspirants for the posi-
ton. but with the exception of Con-
gresham Hepburn none have had the
experience in campaigning that the ex-
| governor has had, and are therefore at
| decided disadvantage.
| AS between Gov. Gear and the pres
ent incumbent there is not much choice.
| Mr.. Wilson has made fair senator. but
| has not been conspicuous either for en-
| ergy or ability. He has never essayed
| leadership; he has been content to fol-
low the lead of others more ambitious
of national distinction and more capa-
BILE of achieving it. 70 draw his salary
with becoming regularity and to keep a
| chair from dancing around the floor of
the senate chamber has satisfied his
every desire. He has voted with his
| party whenever occasion demanded, but
mas had little voice in debating the pol
icy of the party. He was safe man in
the sense that all negative men are safe.
If he continued i'll the senate for cen.
tury he would never make his mark
even with piece of chalk.
Gov. Gear is perhaps little more ag-
| gressive i'll character. He has had a
large legislative experience, both in the
state legislature. where he was for sew
eral years the presiding officer of the
assembly, and in the lower house of
congress. AS Iowa senators 60, he
would be creditable one. and is GER
tainly far superior to number of those
who are his competitors in the present
race. But he will not set the world on
fire. He is nearly seventy years of age,
and naturally does not court labor,
either for its own sake or for the public
good. He much prefers a place where
he can pass his declining years in peace
and quietude. And the senate of the
United States is ordinarily a place
where a man may drool and drone his
hours away, embarrassed by care and
unburdened with responsibility. If the
| people of Iowa prefer such men to rep

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-There is a
feeling of much expectancy on the
Hawaiian question, and congressman

would not be surprised if President
Cleveland sent another Hawaiian mes

olulu on Jan. l, for Vancouver, and
allowing eight days for her voyage, she
will be in on Tuesday, The City of
Picking also left Honolulu on Jan. 3 for
San Francisco. and although she sailed
alter, her trip is shorter and she
will also be due by Tuesday. The in
formation broughtby the revenue cut
ter Corwin cannot therefore be kept
secret much longer, as the two steam
ers will bring all except the purely Off
ciai information. 1t Is for this reason
that members of congress are counting
on another Hawaiian message tOmor-
row, as they say the president and Sec
rotary Gresham will probably prefer
to advise congress and the public
as to the situation rather than have
the news made public through the in-
coming steamers. Secretary Gresham
has not been accessible tonight, and it
has been impossible to learn from him
or other officials as to the status of the
question. At the secretary'S hotel it
was stated that lie was at the W hite
house, but Oh inquiry there it was de-
MED. 1t is believed, however, that the
secretary spent considerable time with
the president today in discussing the
hawaiian situation,

"TELL THE TRUTH. -

| There is no good reason why the pub
lie should be denied the benefit OF exact
| information relative to the status of af-
fairs in Hawaii. Recent dispatches
| from Honolulu contain grave charges
and limitations that the American min
lister has so conducted himself as to
| incur the resentment of the provisional
| government. and has been given his
passports. 1t is also alleged that the
| instructions sent him by the state de-
| partment were intercepted by agents of
| the provisional government. and that he
| has consequently remained in ignorance
of the course he is expected to pursue.
| If either of these rumors proves true,
the provisional government has COM
mltted an act of war. The government
cannot afford to overlook such acts. 1t
/ must resent them to the extremity of
| war.
But the statements are as yet mere
rumors. They have no official vertical
ton so far as the public is informed. 1t
IS known that the state department has
| received important dispatches from
| Honolulu, and that the administration

if the worst rumors are true, the adj
ministralion owes it to itself and the

many and with annoyance by all. If
our minister has been insulted by the

IF They Had Any Chance to

NV
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA conference
was held this afternoon at which
number of prominent Republicans were
present. 20 decide if possible a course
of proceedings by that party in congress
On the Hawaiian question. due 10 the
latest advices from Honolulu giving the
action of Minister Willis, in which he
called upon the provisional governme mt
to surrender. 1t is understood
that some very radical views were
given expression to, and that the ques-
ton Of the impeachment of President
Cleveland for his course was brought
up. This course, however, was not Ser-
ously considered by any one. and the
cooer-headed members advocated a
conservative stand, and their views
finally prevailed. They argued that it
would be much wiser for the Repub-
licans to wait day or SO until absolute
and definite information received
from Hawaii, which would probably be
not later than next Wednesday.
The conference finally adjourned
without taking any definite action, eX-
cept to agree that there should be no
concerted movement for the present.
Under the present condition in the
house it would be impossible for I'M
parchment proceedings to be begun at
this time. Speaker Crisp has decided
that nothing is in order until decision
is reached regarding the order brought
in from the committee on rules for the
consideration of the Wilson bill In
parchment proceedings must originate
in the house, and therefore it would
seem that this course must be blocked
until the question now before the house
is decided.
Secretary Gresham was seen at late
hour tonight and stated that there was
nothing to be given out on the Hawaiian
question, and that there would not be
until the arrival OF the mail adYices.
This would seem to controvert the
theory that the president intends to
send special message to congress to-
morrow on the Hawaiian question, in
Guiding the correspondence received
from the Corwfn. 1t is understood now
that the dispatches obtained are rather
meager, and that the administration
prefers to wait for full advices before
making anything public.

ing to the administration, 1t would natur-
lily occur TO the president to conceal it
from the public. But as Hawaii lies in
the open ocean free to all commerce, we
cannot refrain from asking what the
administration is going to gain by for
bidding its officers and sailors to give
he American people hin of the ma
ture OF public events in Honolulu. 1t
Is not state secrets that we are asking,
but information about happ enings that
are open and notorious IN Hawaii now,
and will be here as soon as the next

been to put the public to little annoy
ance and delay. 1t has not gained so
much by its efforts in Inystifying the
public hitherto that it should feel repaid

A SILLY RUMoR.
A rumor was current here today to the
effect that Minister Willis had been
given his passports and was aboard the
Corwin. Up to late hour tonight
nothing has developed to corroborate
the rumor, and it is generally discredit-
ed. Though considered quite probable
that the minister has been rendered
passports, it is not believed he is OH the
Corwin now or that he was a pas
Senger on her. The unprecedented
action of the Corwin's officers, however,
might indicate the truth Of the story,
for it is certain they are concealing
some important fact from the public,
and it may be that the minister to Ha-
wall is hidden in her cabins. When
the COrwin steamed through the Golden
Gate her commander refused TO receive
even officers Of the revenue patrol
steamer Hartley, telling them they were
not wanted. The cutter then steamed
south, approaching the southern shore,
and at point off the harb0r view d
small boat was lowered and

however, that the man put ashore was
an officer of the cutter entrusted with

man never returned to the Corwin.
AS soon as the cutters small

where she now lies. No one has left
her so far as known. If Minister
Willis was the man put ashore,
careful search has failed to bring
his whereabouts to light. 1t is al
most foregone conclusion. however,
that Minister Willis would not sail
from Honolulu and leave Mrs. Willis
behind. That shs has not landed here
is beyond doubt. Nor is it believed
that any woman is on board the Cor
win. else glimpse of her would have
been had by many reporters, who have
closely watched the cutter since her
appearance In the harbor.

There can be no escape from the con-

the brand of dishonor during the re-

No excuse will avail the Democrat
who leaves his seat vacant during the

cannot plead want of a knowledge of

opinions were expressed with an en-
phasiS that could not be misunderstood.
And the people have not changed their
minds since the congressional elections.
Let it be reiterated: The member of
congress who abSentS himself from his
post OF duty at any stage of the tariff
debate is false to his pledges, and con-
feSSeS himself either a coward or a

he has either been inundated by the
