Lecture-An Exciting Time.
Topeka, KANs., Jan. l6.-A special to
the Capitol from Leavenworth, Kansas,
says: A serious riot was narrowly
averted in this city tonight at Grand
Army hall, where ]. W. Hlle, an A. P.
A. editor and organizer, was addressing
a meeting. He was speaking on the
objects of the a. P. A. and bitterly de-
nouncing the Catholic church when he
was interrupted many times, frequently
being called altar. The audience SEEM
ed about equally divided between Cath
olics and Protestants, and in very
short time they were. worked mp to a
high pitch Those in sympathy with
the speaker made an effort to put out a
man who was interrupting, when blows
followed. Canes and chairs were used
and two men were knocked down.
When Speaker Hile drew a large re-
volver from his pocket and placed it on
the table in front of him it had quiet
ing effect. While the trouble was go
ing on people broke from the building
in stampede and ran over each other
on the way out.

He Recognizes the Democratic Senate Ac-
cordins to the Attorney Generals Opin-
ion
TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 16.-Gov. Werts
this morning sent to President Adrian,
of the Democratic senate, and President
Rogers, of the Republican senate. the
opinion of Attorney General Stockton
on the senatorial difficulty. Accom-
panying the opinion was a message of
some length. It was addressed to
"Hon. Robert Adrian, president pro
tenn OF the senate" In it the governor
says: 81 enclose herewith the reply of
the attorney general whereby 1 am adj
have the honor temporarily to preside
is the constitutional senate and that the
body organized under the presidency of
Mr.. Rogers did not represent the senate
of New Jersey" This ls of course in
favor of the Democratic senate.
a strong effort between the Republi-
cans and Democrats to get together was
started to-day. The Republican sena-
tors appointed Messrs. Rogers, Voor-
hees and Stokes as q committee on COM
promise to meet Democratic commit
tee consisting of Messrs. Winton, Adrian
and DAILY.
The Republicans have issued reply
to the attorney generals opinion, in
which they argue at length to show
there is no precedent that a senator
with proper credentials should not be
admitted.
They declare the Democrats intended
to prevent Bradley from taking his seat
by having his case thrown into the su-
preme court.
They tell of attempts to induce Mr..
Terhune to contest Bradley's election.
1t was prearranged, they say, to keep
the Republicans from gaining control
of the senate chamber.
They call attention to the fact that
the new senator's names were not on
their desks according to custom.
They declare the Democrats organized
the senate before the regular hour, and
review at length the doings up to date.

KEY TO THE NORTH PACIFIC.
Ex-AIinister Stevens on the Desirnbility o1
the Possession of Hawaii.

Ex-AIinister Stevens on the Desirability of
the Possession of Hawaii.
SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Jan. 16.-Hon.
John l.. Stevens, ex-minister to Ha-
waii, spoke here tonight before nota-
BILE audience. He said in part:
1.-THE stirring events in history which
have taken place in the Mediterranean
and on its borders are doubtless famil-
lar to you all. The Ph9nicians, Car
thagenians, Greeks and Romans in turn
struggled for their supremacy, and you
know with what jealous care the ma
over their Mediterranean interests.
What means Gibraltar, Malta and
Cyprus? What these places and strong
holds are to England, SO will Hawaii be
to the United States.
"For more than sixty years all our
great statesmen have seen the value of
our country of the Hawaiian Islands.
Only statesmen of the third class have
disagreed with them.
.Since the. acquisition the possibili-
ties of the adjacents have been thor
oughly recognized by American states
men and the necessity of American
dominance in thePacific ocean has be-
come evident.
'"rhe Hawaiian islands stand at the
Pacific cross roads and are indispensa-
Bile to the United States. We must
have coaling station in the North
Pacific. There is Pearl Harbor, an
island key in the hands of whatever
nation has the courage and strength to
hold it. They can be impregnable at a
nominal expense. There is no other
harbor like it in the North Pacific"
"For good reasons, naval and COM
mercial experts regard Hawaii as the
key to the North Pacific.
az am only q plain citizen, yet be-
lieve that the opinions of those experts
should have more weight than those of
men who have never been west of the
Rocky mountains or seen the shape of
the cannon"

CORBETT IS ILL.

Too Much Heroic Exercise Causes Fit

World from Jacksonville, Fla, says that
Jim Corbett was very sick for about
half an hour to-day and had a fit of
vomiting which lasted several min
utes and left him very limp and
ragged, although he recovered before
the day was over. It appears that Cor

with trainer Delaney about his work.
The latter claims Jim is devoting too
much of his time to heroic exercises,
but he has not been able up to this

MIR. Hoar on the Hawaiian nIntter-The
Federal Elections Repeal Bill.
WASHINGTON, d. O., Jan. 16.-In the
absence of the vice president, who is
attending the meeting OF the New York
Bar Association at Albany, the president
pro tenn. Senator Harris, of Tennessee,
presided.
The Presidents message to transmit
the Hawaiian correspondence sent into
the executive session yesterday was
laid before the senate but delay oc-
Cured before quorum was secured.
After few minor matters had been
disposed of Senator Hoar (Rep.. Mass.)
took the floor to discuss the Presi-
dents message on Hawaii.
He showed by quoting from the Ha-
waiian constitution that the queen in
her recent protest that she could not
promise amnesty to the members of the
provisional government was only con-
fining herself to the limitations of the
constitution, which does not confer on
the crown such absolute right of grant
ing amnesty, but requires that pardon
can be granted only by the concurrence
OF the cabinet and other constitutional
officers.
Senator Gray Dem. Deiaware) and
Randall (Dem. Yirginia) made some
pertinent interruptions and threw upon
Minister Stevens and his initiative
actions all the responsibility for what
ever irregular methods of procedure
had necessarily grown out of the
Hawaiian imbroglio.
The bill to repeal the federal election
laws coming up in the calendar, Sena-
tor Palmer Dem. Illinois) opened the
discussion in an argument in favor of
the bill.
At sos, on motion of Senator Cor
man, the senate adjourned.

HE DIED FOR NE.

After DR.. Bethune's death, the following
beautiful hymn, which was evidently written
only the day previous. was found in his port
folio. Its devout simplicity and exquisite ten
derness giveita fitting place beside such hymns
as Toplady's Rock of Ages" aud Charles
wesley's Jesus lover of my soulv
when time seems short, and death is near,
And am pressed by doubt and fear
And sins an overfiowing tide,
Assail my peace on every side,
This thought my refuge still shall be,
know the Saviour died for Inc.
His name is Jesus and he died
For guilty sinners crucifed
Content to die. that he might win
Their ransom from the death OF sin.
No sinner worse than l can be,
Therefore know he died for me.
IF grace were bought, / could not buy
If grace ware coined, no wealth have
BY grace alone draw my breath,
Held up from everlasting death.
Yet since l know his grace isfree,
| know the Saviour died for me-
II read Gods holy word and fird
Great truths which far transcend my mind
And little do know beside
OF thought so high, aud deep, and wide,
This is my best theology,
know the Saviour died for me.
"My faith is weak, but It's thy gift;
Thou canst my helpless soul uplift,
And say, Thy bonds of death are riyen,
Thy sins by me are all forgiven,
And thou shalt live from guilt set free
For thy Saviour died for thee.
