HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.

The Senate Committee Investigation IL
About Completed-The Report VIII Now
be in Order-An Intimation That the
Committee Favors Annexation But VIII
Not at This Time Report In Favor of It.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The senate
committee on foreign relations inves-
tigating Hawaiian affairs heard the
testimony of Mr.. w. E. Simpson, who
is said by the committee to be the
last witness in the list, which has al
ready grown much larger than was ex-
pected when the investigation COM
menced. The testimony of Mr.. Simp-
son had little to do with the revolu-
tlon. 1t was devoted almost entirely
to discussion of the value of the is
lands from a commercial point of view.
and this was matter upon which the
witness appeared to be thoroughly
posted. Mr.. Simpson proved 10 be
A STRONG ANNExATIoNIsT.
He was in Honolulu several months
before the revolution, and left there
about three weeks prior to the political
upheavaL Mr.. Simpsons purpose in
visiting the islands was to establish, if
possible, a steamship line that would
divert Hawaiian trade to the north
western states, his objective points be-
ing Honolulu and Seattle on Puget
Sound. So successful was his scheme
that Mr.. Simpson succeeded in having
the Hawaiian legislature pass a bill
granting subsidy of $500 month to
the line that was to be blished,
and m, lra nna fyiy, month
MUCH VALUABLE INFORMATION.
This witness gave the committee
much valuable information concerning
the products of the islands, and the ex-
tent Of the trade and commerce, and
he spoke of the advantages to be de-
rived by the United States in the
event of annexation.
Now that the hearing of testimony
has been concluded, interest will cen
ter in the report of the committee. A
member of the subcommittee, who
has taken an active interest in all the
proceedings, is authority for the state
ment that the subcommittee will
probably have its report ready for the
full committee by the 18th of the
month.
IN FAVOR OF ANNEXATION.
The report will doubtless be adopted
by the full committee, and will then,
accompanied by the printed testimony,
be laid before the senate. A general
debate, it is believed, will follow.
A person whose source of informa-
tion can not be disputed states that
the subcommittee is in favor of annex
alton, but he believes it will report
against such action at the present time,
a policy already outlined in the resolu-
tion of Mr.. Turpie, which is now before
the senate. 1t is believed by some,
though this is disputed by others, that
if Senators Sherman and Frye, of the
subcommittee, will concede something
in the matter, Mr.. Morgan may coin
eide with them as to the finding OF
| facts.
The statement has been made by a
mem Der of the committee, but none
of the those conducting the inquiry,
that it looked as if ex-Minister
Stevens would be criticized, not so
much for what he did, as the way it
was done

THE UNEMPLOYED.


sixty-seven Thousand Bread-winners
Idle In New York City, Eight Per Cent.
of Whom Are Destitute-The People of
the Metropolis Face to Face with q
Problem of the First Magnitude.
NEW YORK, Feb. Mayor Gilroy
yesterday received from President
Seth Low and Prof. Richmond Mayo
Smith, of Columbia college, the tabu-
lated results of census of the unem-
ployed in the city taken by the police
under the direction of Prof. Smith.
The census is taken by police precincts
and the table shows the number of un-
employed in each precinct.
The thirty-three precincts into which
the city is divided show the number Of
families suffering from lack of employ
ment to be 4S,6s1, consisting of 206, ,701
persons. Of these the number usually
employed is 7s,02s. The number out of
work is 7,28O, or 52,592 males and A.
6SS females. The census shows that so
per cent. of the families whose bread
winners are idle are in need of assist
ance. This includes about 1865, 800 per-
sons who lack the necessaries of life.
President Seth Low says: 'It is clear
that the city and the citizens are face
to face with problem of the first
magnitude. l cannot imagine more
impressive argument in favor of
prompt action upon the tariff, which
shall be decisive in one direction or
the other, in order that the element of
uncertainty may be removed from the
pathway of a business revival. Mean
while whatever work can be given,
should be given both by the city and
by private persons. The strong must
continue generously to help the weak.
Bostons Unemployed.
BosTcN, Feb. Another meeting OF
the unemployed was held on Boston
common last evening, when nearly
1000 gathered around the Soldiers
monument and listened to speeches
from several speakers. A letter was
read from Gov. Greenhalge, in which
he stated that the conditions and pros
poets Of the unemployed had been
placed before the legislature in a re.
cent communication from him; also ex.
pressing his belief that relief should be
so administered as to disturb as slightly
as possible the condition of the labor
market in general.
The letter was read with sarcastic
comments. The addresses, as whole,
were temperate. A parade was mad c
after the meeting with 900 in line.
