POLICE AS HOTEL RUNNERS.
A Member of Hoboken,s Force Ap-
pears in a Queer Light I'm Chancery.

A member of the Hoboken police force
whose name is not known appeared in an
unenviable position in the Court of Chancery
this morning. Colonel q. NJ Ward of .Pater-
son applied to the Chancellor for a decree
opening the divorce case of Nicholas Vena-
bic against Bertha Venable. Mr. Ward gave
the young woman fine reputation for vir-
tue and sobriety and claimed that she has
been greatly wronged by the proceedings.
She has been confined to her bed since the
bill was filed against her and had only been
able to attend to the case today. She denied
all acts of criminality and claimed to have a
defence. The counsel for Venable said that
testimony had already been taken in the case
which proved the husbands allegation.
The Chanbellor wanted the testimony read
1t was that Of Albert MCGEE Paterson de-
tective. He testified that he accompanied
| the defendant and her sister to this city
where they met the late policeman Peter
| Reen who used to do duty at the Pennsyl-
vania strtion. Qeen sent them to police
man at Headquarters in Hoboken, who
| learning their errand, directed them to a
| hotel where they would be free from molest-
alton. Later in the evening they were
| joined by Reen.
| McGee also gave the defendant very bad
reputation The Chancellor asked if that
was all the direct testimony, and upon being
| told it was, allowed Mrs. Venable to come in
| aad file an answer.

BEAUTY OF THE FEE SYSTEM.

There was a tilt this morning betweeR
Judge Hoffman and ex-Sheriff Stanton.
When James Brann was County CLERK
the late Judge Knapp ordered that the lay
Judges fees be collected by the Sheriff
Temporarily, and the rule has ever
since been IN effect. Lay judges have
q claim on which they call conditional fees,
over which suit is now pending. The ex-
Sheriff had been paying over
fees right along. Today he re.
fused. The judges are entitled to $IOd
regular fees besides conditional fees. The
ex-Sherif approached Judge Hoffman this
morning and told the Judge that in order to
protect himself he would refuse to pay either
tba S700 or the conditional fees
III It'll after the suit was settled. He
then presented the court bills and
Judge hoffman refused to sign them, and
threw the batch under his bench. Orders
were then given that the County Clerk col
lect the fees due the court and pay them
over. the County Clerk being the only duly
authorized agent to collect such fees.

court house. The police who had been de-
tailed for duty in and about the court house
were armed with rifles. They charged the
band and compelled it to disperse.
The court room was SO small that the
eighty accused men, with their counsel and
few reporters, entirely filled it. The de-
PENDANTS protested against the limited ac, az !,
eommodations, but scant attention was paid
to them. Most of the accused are youthful

SOCIALISTS APPEAL NOT NEEDED

ROME, Jan. Is, 1s94.-The appeal issued
by the Socialists of Leghorn to the work
ingmen, asking them to- inaugurate
today general strike as pro-
test against the policy of repres-
sion being pursued by the Government in
Sicily met with no response except from the
men employed in some of the shipyards. 1t
was feared that the response to the
appeal would be general and that the
idle workmen would engage in riot
ing. So fearful were the shop keepers that
trouble would occur and their places of busi-
ness be looted that many of them kept their
shops closed. There was, however, no sign
of any disturbance.
The police had been strongly reinforced
in order to quell disorder in its incipiency,
and the whole force was extremely vigilant.

THE HoRNBLowER FIGHT TODAY.
Senator Hill Working for the Laws
So

yer's Defeat.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 94-There was a
lining up of forces before the Senate met
this morning preparatory to the coming
struggle over the Hornblower nomination,
Senator Hill, who is the leader of the opposi-
tion, has been at work with untir-
ing vigilance seeking to gather atfherents
Saturday he and his colleague, Senator
ence with other Democratic Senators plan
ming the campaign. He has not confined his
efforts to what are known as administration
Senators, but gone into the camp of the
enemy in the search for recruits For in
stance, he had talk with Senator Ransom,
who has come to be known as an admins,
tration man. This morning he was
early at the Capitol, and missed no
opportunity to press his views upon such
Senators as arrived in the building before
the Senate met. Senator Harris, OF
Tennessee, was one of these, and Mr.. Hill
made several calls at his committee room
before he succeeded in meeting the
Tennesseean. He did not confine his efforts
to his Democratic colleagues, but put in some
missionary work with such Republican
Senators as he judged to be still open to con-
viction, and in this direction had an inter
view with Senator Manderson of Nebraska
this morning. With the Republican
Senators, particularly Senator Hill, Is using
the argument that the Presidents position in
making a nomination of such Importance,
knowing it to be obnoxious to the Demo-
cratic Senators of the State concerned,
threatens to break down one of the
most cherished privileges of the SEN
ators, and that it should be at
tackled by them without regard to
party affiliation. No doubt this argument
has made some impression, but it is not pos
sible as yet to predict whether it will be eff
fectual in securing sufficient number of
votes to defeat the nomination 1t appears
to be conceded this morning that the
Republican Senators hold the fate of
Mr.. Hornblewer in their hands,
but as far as can be learned
they have not yet arrived at point where
they have decided to act in harmony, and
the result is still in doubt notwithstanding
the confidence in the outcome manifested by
the senior Senator from New York.

THE HAWAIIAN INQUIRY.

Made Evident.

The Necessity of COal1mg station
Made Evident.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 1S94.-The Senate
committee investigating Hawaiian affairs
met this morning, and for the first time since
they began work there was no witness to
testify 1t was thought that Lieutenant
Commander Swinburne would be present.
but owing to illness he was again compelled
to remain away.
The appearance before the committee on
Saturday Of naval officer whose testimony
bore upon the events of twenty years ago
and the general subject of the Importance
Of the islands from commercial and naval
standpoint, indicates that the committee
will, before it finishes its task, make its
investigation about as broad as any person
could wish. 1t is understood that
all these naval officers have, told the COM
mittee of the importance of these islands
from naval standpoint, and the fact that
the treaty with Hawaii, under which Pearl
Harbor was ceded to the United States for
a term of years, will soon expire,
character of evidence. These naval off
GERS are all of the opinion that unless the
United States is possessed of some solid and
permanent foothold in the Pacific the gov
ernment would be greatly crippled in case of
war, in which naval demonstration in the
Pacific was necessary. The kind of
station needed, they all said,
was one that could be guarded
and protected by our own forces and
under the absolute control of this Govern
ment. The experience of naval officers who
have served in Hawaiian waters leads them
to believe that the foreign element there is
endeavoring to defeat an extension of the
treaty after it shall have expired, which will
be in less than two years. Acting upon the
assumption that this condition of affairs may
come to pass; these officers have endeavored
to show the great Importance Of acting now
in a way that will frustrate such a calamity

Considering the Hornblower
Nomination.
BOUTELLE AGAIN SAT ON

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 1s94.-The close of
the general debate on the Wilson bill had the
effect to thin out the attendance of members
On the Democratic side, in particular, was
this attenuation apparent, and only about
thirty Democratic members were present at
the beginning of today's session.
Wehn the speakers table had been cleared
of the executive communications and Senate
resolutions and bills. Mr.. Grain Dem,
Tex.,) asked unanimous consent to consider
Senate bill granting to the Aransas Pass
Harbor Company the right to improve Aran-
sas Pass, and consent being given, the bill
was takenup and passed.
BoUTELLE'S EFFORT.
Committees having been called for reports
without pronouncing any important results,
Mr.. Boutelle rep, Me.) endeavored to call
up his Hawaiian resolution. He maintained
that the House could not SO bind itself by
rules as to preclude the exercise
of the right to consider questions
concerning its privileges, and he read
the rulings Of the Speaker on
January 3, holding this opinion. Yet, said
Mr.. Boutelle, the very position which he has
described as Hypothetical case, had become
an accomplished fact, and his (Mr. Bou-
telle's prediction had been verified. The
President had sent special message to Con
gress with the question, yet the House had
not acted upon it.
The introduction of the Hawaiian question
into the House had its usual effect, and in a
moment the House was in an uproar. The
Speaker endeavored to secure order, but his
poundings had about as much effect in calm
ing the stormy waters as phlal OF oil would
hav va on O Wnct Indian pvctOua
Mr.. McMillin Dem, Tenn.) then injected
himself into the discussion with a demand
that the special order adopten by the House
be adhered to-
Mr. Boutelle expressed his indignation
that Mr. Mcmillan and his Democratic asso-
ciates should be willing to lend themselves
to the Infamous scheme of "smothering" the
Hawaiian question, and should blind them
selves to the degrading position in which
the President was placing the country.
KNOCKED OUT.
Speaker Crisp said that there was some
limit even to the rights of the gentleman
from Maine to violate the rules of the House.
There must be somewhere a power in the
majority of the House to support its rules
and to insist that they should be respected
and to take some action to restrain gentle
man who persisted day after day in violation
of the rules of the House.
The House then resolved itself into COM
mittee of the whole to consider the tariff
bill, and in accordance with the special or.
der heretofore adopted, the bill was read in
full prior to the consideration of amend
ments to it.
IN THE SENATE.
After acting upon number of unimport
ant bills on the calander the Senate, on
motion of Mr.. Hill, (Dem., N. Y. at 12:42
went into executive session to consider the
