Mr.. GRosvENoE Of Ohio, who was
defeated in 1890, bat got back to Con-
gress two years later, in order to make
himself solid with the soldier vote in
his district at next falls election, has
introduced bill 10 give pension 10

black or white, whose name was ever
on the rolls of the federal army during
the war between the States. The Treas

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. l., 1891

IN THE Hawaiian debate in the l. ,.
Senate yesterday, Senator Daniel took
the ground that the criticisms upon the
President for interfering with Ha-
waiian affairs came too late. They
should have been previously applied
he said, with respect to Minister otev-
ems, who assumed, with respect to the
military forces of the United States,
the attitude Of supreme commander
in.chief, above the admiral, above the
President, above the Congress, above
the laws, and above the Constitution OF
the United States. Aud that is the
right ground. The interference in the
first instance was utterly unwarranted,
and a gross outrage upon friendly ma
ton: and that wrong having been done
during the administration OF his pre-
decessor, Mr.. Cleveland should have
undone it as soon as he was informed
Of the facts of the case.

The McAulifle.Ryan Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IA six
round glove contest came oil at the
Grand Opera House last night between
Jack McAulife, lightweight champion
of the world, and jim Ryan, we'll
known Australian middleweisht. The
immense building was filled to the
doors. Ryan did but little fighting and
there seems to be no doubt that he
threw the fight. McAulife, who got
the decision, hardly showed up in his
oil time form though he only had two
weeks training.

Gen. R. Z. Lees birthday and is mark

There will be no celebration here
of any kind except the firing of num-
Der OF minute guns. At night R. f.
Lee Camp. Confederate Veterans, will
have camp fire." The ''old vets
will assemble at their headquarters and
tell war stories, sing martial songs, re-
count their adventures and have a good
time generally. There will be an
abundance of good things to comfort
the inner man, in both solid and liquid
form, and there is no doubt of pleasant
evening. Pickett Camp, Confederate
Veterans, has been invited to break
bread with Lee Camp on the occasion
and the soldiers club will also enjoy
the Inequalities.
The executive committee from the
Virginia State Agricultural Society held
an important meeting here to-day and

THE usurping President OF Hawaii
in his letter to Minister Willis, says
eve do not recognize the right OF the
President of the United States to inter
fere in our domestic affairs. Such
right could be conferred upon him by
the act of this government and by this
alone, or it could be acquired by con
quest" Every word OF this is true
President Harrison had no more right
to interfere with the legitimate govern
ment Of Hawaii, than he would have
had to interfere with the government
Of any other foreign nation with which
his own country was at peace. But
having wroneed that government, his
successor had nothing else to do but TO
undo that wrong, which he should
have done at once, and then left the
Hawaiians 10 attend TO their own bust

that the resolution had nothing wb,,.

simply as to the question of appor.iop.

Mr.. Hoar said that whatever mich,

Mr.. Hoar said that he did no, t9.ak

CONGRESSMAN MEREDITH, in with
drawing his recommendation of an ap-
plicant for the postmastership at Mid
dleburg-which he had made at the re-
quest Of the democratic committee of
Loudoun county-when he found that
large majority of the people served
with mail at that office preferred some
body else, was wise. As general
thing county committees are not cor
rect representatives of the feeling of the
majority Of the other people in their
counties. Mr.. Meredith would be wiser
if he would withdraw the recommends
tions he is reported to have made, on
similar endorsements, in other places
in his district. Congressman nowadays
don't have cinches on their places.

REMARKABLE FATALITY.-A most remark
able fatality appears TO have attended the
case of Seymour S. CABOT, charged with forg-
cry, and also embczzling sums of money be-
longing 10 the Live Oak Distilling Company,
of Cincinnati. His trial was to have come of
i'll Richmond yesterday. Soon after Cadets in
d;ctment George Yost, secretary of the COM
pany, died. Before the case first came up for
trial Cadets wife, one of the most prominent
leaders in Richmond society, passed away after
a brief illness. On Monday C. d. Schmidlapp,
president of the company. while on his way
to Richmond to attend the trial az one of the
most important witnesses, was called to Gin
cinnati on account of the serions illness of his
daughter. Yesterday telegram was received
in Richmond stating that Miss Schmidlapp
could not possibly live. The examination was
therefore, postponed till the February term
OF the Hastings Court
Those connected with the case are growing
somewhat superstitious. When the trial came
up before. Cadets counsel demanded the books
of the distilling company containing records
of all Cadets transactions. The prosecution
did not want to comply, but the court thought
it best for the books to be brought, and yes.
terday they came-a wagon load. They will
be shipped back, however, to be returned four
DAYS before the case comes up for trial.

ESCAPE FROM JAIL.-Three brothers,
colored men, Thornley, by name, es-
capped from the county Jail at Manassas
between - midnight and 6 o'clock yes
terday morning. One was serving n
six months sentence for misdemeanor
and the other two were under indict-
ment and awaiting trial for burglary.
Other indictments were awaiting them
for a series of henroost and other rob-
berries. The escape was through the
agency of friends on the outside, who, it
is supposed, furnished them with tools
with which they broke cagelock,
reaching the outside by forcing the
window at the rear Of the corridor and
farthest from the jailor's quarters.
The authorities have no clew as to the
direction they took.

ten any such letter, but said that, owing
to the feeling against cx-Confederates

would not apply for such positions as
those referred to. And yet ex-federal

Kansas City, Mo-, was wild with eX-
element last night, the result of a riot
preciptated by an e1-priest, who bit
terly assailed the Catholics. The an
nouncement OF tue lecture had brought
together large audience. The address
was delivered by j. Y. Mcnamara, said
tc be from Rome. He commenced by
making a rancorous attack on the
Catholics and their institutions. He
had not proceeded far when the meet
ing broke up in disorder. After the
hall had been cleared crowd Of men
gathered on the street and waited for
the speaker to appear. When he came
down from the hall he was greeted by
wells of derision and there were cries of
Hang him." As the angry mob
crowded about Mcnamara and his band
of supporters, pistols were drawn and
Mcnamara fired shot into the crowd,
and q general fight ensued during
which several shots were exchanged.
One man was shot. During the general
m.lee Mcnamara escaped. Mcnamara,
it appears, escaped from the mob in q
carriage. The crowd ascertained he
was stopping at the house of q relative,
and they soon gathered in front of his
retreat and stormed the house with
missiles. The police are engaged in ar
resting the parties who precipitated the
disorder. Several persons were injured
during the rioting.

by Mr.. Palmer (dem.), of Illinois, a
member of the committee on prlvilt G

Arguments for and against free wool
took up most of the time of the tariff
discussion in the House of Represent

caused by an amendment offered by
Chairman Wilson, of the ways and
means committee, fixing August | next
as the time for admitting wool free of
duty and suspending until December |
the operation of the WOODEN scedule of
the new tariff bill. A strong fight was
made on this amendment and it was still
pending when the House took a recess.
