ule. Debate was participated in upon several

mittee on Ways and Means. then offered a
sweeping amendment to the iron aud steel

Chairman Wilson then offered amendments
fixing the time Mt which the wool schedule
shall 90 into effect as Aug. g. 1894. and the
WOODEN goods schedule as Dec. 2. 1894. The

propositions. but the point was overruIed by
the Chairman, and the amendments were
agreed to-all the Republicans uniting with
more than half the Democrats so that the vote
was 122 yeas Republicans and Democrstsl
and 81 nays TALL Denocrats).
Dir. Wilson then offered an amendment In
creasing the proposed duty on barley and hops

In the Senate the elections repeal bill was
pursued. Senator Lodge, who opposed repeal
on the ground that the laws are necessary to
prevent frauds and protect the negroes in their
rights, and are valuable as an expression of the
National idea. MI. Lodge had much to say OF
the election frauds under Tweed and of Boss y
McKane's recent acts. Mr.. McKane's per-

formances prove sufficiently that crimes against
the suffrage are attempted now just as fagrantly
in our Northern cities as they were more than
20 years ago. and that the need of stringent
legislation, both State and National, to prevent
and punish them is as great as ever"
The Hawaiian question came up with the
resolution reported by Mr.. Turpie from the
Committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. Vest
offered a substitute intended to commit the
Senate more emphatically against the annexa-
ton Of the Island and at the same time to leave
no loophole for further interference with the
internal affairs Of Hawaii by President CleVe-
land.

Mr.. Boutelle me, r. moved to substitute
the lumber paragraph in the Mckinley act for
that reported in the Wilson bill. and made an
argument in support Of that amendment
After discussion the Timber schedule went

In the House. after two hours labor, 1t was
voted that Mr.. Warmers IN. Y, d. proposition
looking to free refined sugar, adopted yesterday
afternoon should be treated substitute and
not as an amendment. This released the House
from the tangle in which il adjourned. The
paragraph as amended was then adopted by q
rising vote-yeas 100. nays 80. The effect of
this vote is 10 put all sugars, raw and refined,
OH the free list. The bounty was abolished by
Q vote yesterday afternoon.
The coal schedule was taken MP, and Mr..
Oates tAla., d. offered an amendment striking
coal from the free list and putting duty of
80 cents ton upon IL. and 20 cents per ton on
eiack Mr.. Wise va. d. offered an amend
ment 10 this amendment, placing the duty at
so cents per ton. MIR. McKaig md, d. SUBJ
mitied a substitute providing for the retention
of the present law-75 cents per ton on coal
and 80 rents per ton on slack.
Mr.. McKaig md, d. gave his reasons for
asking for protection on coal on the ground
that the occupation of coal mining was extra
hazardous, aud that the men employed IN 1t
had TO pay a tax Od the tools used.
Mr.. Rayner Md. d. said it ill-became
Democrats 10 stand up in the House and de-
maHd protection on their own products They
were r+iormers in other mems Districts, hut
BOT IN their own. If his constituents wanted a
protection on coal they would have TO send
some other man in bis place. for as long as he
was in the House he would vote for his party
and his country. and not for protection.

Proceedings Of Both Houses.
Tuesday, JAN. %.

In the Senate not the least entertaining feat
ure of the meeting to-day was the impassioned
plea made by Mr.. Chandler in behalf OF pure
elections. He found fruitful theme in the
New York election frauds, for which Isaac ID.
MAYNARD has lately paid the penalty, and ex-
pressed the hope that the present New York
Legislature would hasten to undo the evil
legislation which was the outcome of the theft
of the Senate.
Mr.. Turpie lind, d. reported from the
Committee on Foreign Relations the following
resolution:
ResoErod That from the facts and papers laid be-
fore he Senate il is unwise and neIpedent, under
existing conditions, TO consider at This Time any
project of the annexation of the Hawaiian territory
20 The United States; that the Provisional Govern
nenI therein having been duly recognized, the
highest international interests require thai IL shall
pursue its line of policy; foreign Intervention
la political affairs of the islands viii be regarded
as an aci unfriendly TO the Government of the
United States.
The resolution went over until tomorrow,
and was ordered to be printed.
Mr. Cullum Ill., r. addressed the Senate on
the resolution offered by Mr.. Frye ME, Z. on
the I'd of January, declaring that, pending the
Investigation by the Committee on Foreign
Relations there shOuld he no interference on
the part of the United States Government by
moral influence or physical force. for the res.
toration of the Queen or the maintenance OF
the Provisional Government in the Hawaiian
Islands.
Among other things he said:
"The assumption which We have so often
heard, that the act OF Minister Stevens in rec
lgnizing the Provisional Government was an
acI of unjusIifabe interference and intimida-
ton, in the face of which the Queen WAS COM
PEELED. as 10y force, to retire, is untrue. But
suppose the American forces had committed
the act SO alleged. what difference would that
make as regards Mr.. Cleveland's act in attempt
ing to recrowu Mr.. DOminis? Mr.. Cleveland
bund there an established Government. Mr..
Cleveland knew this. for he accredited bis
special detective Commissioner to its Chief
Executive"

MONDAY, JAN. 90.

In the Senate, after routine business, the
Hawaiian resolution. with all pending amend
menis. was laid before the Senate and Senator
Teller arose to address the Senate ON the matter.
"My objection to the resolution" said Mr..
Teller, "is TO the Language used with reference
to the annexation. A Provisional Govern
ment for the time being is as much q Govern
ment as any other Government, and every Gov
eminent in the world that has heretofore had
official relations with the Government of Ha-
waii recognized it as Government. Aud our
relations with the Government became the
same az if it had existed from time immemo-
rial. IL Is not question for us or any other
Government as TO how il came in existence.
This is the only case in modern history hen.
after Government has been recognized as
an existing Governments and diplomatic rela-
tions have been established, the Government 30
establishing the diplomatic relation attempted
TO overthrow or destroy it. Public opinion is
averse in this country to destroying such q
Government and putting Monarchical Gov
eminent in its stead" The Senator was in
favor Of annexation.

In the House, the debate on the internal
revenue bill, including the provision for the
income tax, began. Mr.. McMllin. Chairman
of the subcommittee, offered as an amend.
ment to the provision imposing tax Of 81 per
thousand upon cigarets the entire internal
revenue bill.
The reading of the amendment" consumed
33 minutes. When the reading was completed
Mr.. McMilin was recognized to open the de-
bate in favor of the amendment.
Toward the close Of his speech Mr.. NcMillin
was continually piled with questions from all
quarters Of the House, which he parried with
dexterity.
Dir. Ray opened the debate in opposition to
the internal revenue amendment. In bringing
in the internal revenue features OF the Wilson
bill said he, the Democrats recognize con-
dition which exists in this country. He be-
lieved the dark threat of the destruction of the
present economic system had produced the pres
ent conditions.
And now, said he. you propose to bring back
confidence in the business world and to restore
the shaken National credit by an income tax
and an issue of Government bonds. Twenty
five years ago the Democracy had characterized
an income tax as the "most Odious and most
universally condemned Of all taxes" yet in
time of peace the Democracy proposed to revive
this tax which it had condemned even in the
stress of war. An income tax, said he, was the
twin sister of free trade. They went hand in
hand.

Anew Railroad to Poland Springs.

The Poland Spring Railroad Co. has
petitioned the railroad commissioners for
approval of articles of association. The
purpose for which this company was formed
is to build broad guage railroad l-2
miles long, connecting Poland Springs with
Lewiston Junction on the Grand Trunk.
This road, if built, will be almost parallel
and near the new extension Of the Portland
Rumford Falls Railway. The capital
stock, S25 900, is divided into $50 shares,
and Edward P. Kicker subscribes for
1913 shares, Hiram w. Kicker subscribes
for 30, and Alvin B. Kicker subscribes for
30 shares.
There will doubtless be a. big fight over
this matter when the petition for location
comes up before the commission, as to
have this nearly parallel line established
would be a hard blow to the new extension
of the p. & r. Railroad.
The hearing before the commission on
approval of articles of association will &C.
cur Monday afternoon at o'clock.

A NEW BUILDING.
:. b, Erected this Spring At Good Will Farm
by Generous Donor.

school building costing about fifteen
thousand dollars has been contributed to
q ,od Will Farm for boys, at East Fairfield.
II is to be of brick and will be built this
.nriug. Mr.. Hiuckley has been instructed to
have plan. made for the building at once. The
name of the generous donor is with held from
the public for the present. This is not the
industrial school building for which Har-
pet's Young People are raising funds, and
will in no way affect that project. 1t is
hoped thst an endowment sufficient for the
running expenses of the building can be Sc
cured before the building 10 completed.
