THOMAS B. REED.

"The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Maine said the Speaker, with last rap Oh
the gavel.'
Mr.. Reed was greeted by tremendous
burst of applause on the Republican side.
which spread to the galleries and swept in
wave after wave around the great cham
Der. He stood for q moment in
sttlled the tumult of applause and be-
his speech. He spoke without notes, but his
speech had been carefully prepared and
committed 10 memory, and ne delivered II
with great deliberation and impressive
ness. AS he sat down at his conclusion, he
was surrounded by Republican members and
was cheered from the galleries until he re-
tired to the cloak room.
Daring Mr.. Reeds speech Speaker Crisp
surrendered the chair to Mr.. Hatch, OF NJ.
souri,. and took his seat near the centre or
the Democratic side. AS soon as the np-
plause which greeted Mr.. Reeds conclusion
had subsidized Mr.. Crisp was recognized, and
received an ovation from the Democratic
side of the House that fully equalled that
which the Republicans had given their
leader.
At the close of Speaker Crisp's address he
was greeted with repetition OF the applause
which had greeted his appearance. When
this had subsidized in some degree. Chairman
Wilson. who closed the debate in a thirty

MOVING SOUTH.
Large Massachusetts, Mill Proposing
to Build Near the Cotton Fields.

to Build Near the Cotton Fields.
There has just been reported inthe Massa-
chusetts Senate bill which permits the
Dwight Manufacturing Company OF Chico
pee to enlarge its capital stock from 81 ,200,.
600 to 81, 100000. The reason for the in
crease was given by the Treasurer Of the
company to the Legislative Committee on
Manufactures. 1t seems that about forty per
cent of the goods are OF coarse grade,
which are sold in Turkey, China, Africa and
South America. These goods can be made
cheaper in tho South than In Massachusetts.
The Treasurer said that the employees OF the
Southern cotton mills are wholly white peo.
pie, mostly the mountain whites, who are
Just beginning to learn the value of dollar.
They are glad Of the chance to work In the
cotton mills and do better at this work than
they can in their occupations which they
have followed hitherto. The Treasurer said
that he had travelled widely in the South to
find the best place for locating the new mill,
but they had not decided vet where to putt.
The part of the Chicopse plant which Is now
used for the manufacture OF coarse goods
will be used for fine goods. and the employ
ment which Is given here will not be cur
tailed. Southern mills have so competed with
the Northern ones, said the Treasurer, that

manufacturing.
This movement of Northern mills to the
South began in this State, says Boston dis
patch. at least year ago, when Lowell cor
porations were given an increase OF capital
stock for the same reason as is advanced by
the Dwight Company. It looks as II this
might be the beginning OF general move
ment of manufacturing OF coarse grades OF
cloth from the North to the South, and, in!
that light, marks an important transition in
the industrial con ditions OF the country.

THE WILSON BILLPASSED
THE MEASURE ADOPTED BY A
VOTE OF 2O4 TO l40.

One of the Most Remarkable Scenes
Ever Witnessed in Congress-The
Galleries Packed to Overlooking
-Messrs Reed, Crisp and Wilson
Close the Debate.
After four weeks OF brilliant debate, at the
conclusion Of one of the grandest, most i'm
posing and most impressive scenes ever wit
messed in the American Capitol, the wilson
Tariff bill passed the House OF Representa-
tives by vote OF 204 to 14O.
The closing scenes OF the great tariff battle
of 1894 in the House will everbe remembered
by the vast throng that witnessed them.
Seldom have the ceremonies attending the
Inauguration of President attracted to the
Capitol such crowds as thronged Its corrt-
dors. The session OF the House be-
gan at II a. NJ. but long before that hour
the House end of the Capitol was packed
with surging mass of humanity, every In
dividual In II struggling for chance to Sc
cure point OF vantage from which the
scenes on the floor could be witnessed.
The public galleries wore quickly filed to
overfowing. Every seat was occupied, ana
all the available standing room in the atsles
was filed with men and women.
The Capitol police were powerless to handle
the crowd, and detail from the city police
force had TO be called in to prevent a crush
in the corridors on the gallery floor that
might have resulted In fatalities.
The pressure for admission to the private
galleries was so great that soon after the
House was called to order, the doorkeepers
we're instructed to admit the families OF
members to the floor, and soon every avail
able inch of space back of the seats was
occupied. Many members gave up their
seats, and the gay dresses OF women gave an
unwonted color to the scene.
Proceedings in the Senate lost attraction
for members Of that body, and the re we're
more Senators in the House than in Their
own chamber.

The President sent in short message to
Congress about Hawaiian matters.
He transmitted q letter received from
Minister Willis in reference to che reply of
President Dole to Mr.. Willis's request for
specific answers to what Mr.. Cleveland
termed Mr.. Dole's "most extraordinary
document.

LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,
Honolulu, q. L. January IL, 1898.
"Hon. W. @. Gresham, Secretary of State.
''Sir-On yesterday. at $50 D. m, I re-
ceived the Hon. 8. B. Dole's answer to my
letter OF January 1, requesting him, 'at his
earliest convenience to give me the specifl-
cations contained in prior letter. His an
swer Is about fifty pages OF closely-written
official paper, and has been delivered to me
too late TO either copy or reply to in time fol
the steamer leaving OF a. m. to-day.
sThere is one extract, however, to which
think your attention should be called where
In it is stated this Government has been and
now Is subjected to the necessity OF increased
watchfulness, and large additional expense,
which but for such attitude, would have been
Unnecessary
The emphasis above is mine. In a
previous letter Of December 27th Ministe,
Dole had stated that the Government OF.
fcers have been placed and still continue in
q condition of defense and preparation foi
siege, and the community has been put into
state Of mind bordering on terrorism The
emphasis above Is mine. Some portions OF
the letters from which these extracts are
made confirm the above statements, while
others seem to negative them. With this
explanation I submit them for your consid.
GRAFTON.
1.-THE next steamer leaves here February
Sd, which would place you In possession OF
Mr.. Dole's letter and my purposed reply
thereto about February 18th. Very respect
fully, ALBERT 8. WILLIS

nal in the House Mr.. Catchings brought in 4
special order for the consideration OF the
