will never know, The galleries so
keeniy appreciated the words of the
senator, that he was Interrupted with
fattering applause, which the presid-
ing officer was obliged to suppress by
threat to clear the galleries.
Continuing, Davis quoted from the
letter of President Cleveland to Pres
fdent Dole to show that Commissioner
Blount was more than a personal rep
resentative The president violated
the privileges of the Senate by sending
Commissioner Blount with such author
ity to Hawaii. Davis inquired by what
authority the president of the United
States derived the power to arbitrate
the question? Davis, in concluding,
said: This is a great question; great
in facts, great in Importance, great in
a constitutional aspect. The Amer
lean people have cause to decide it.,
and they will in the sublime tribunal
of national Judgment (AppIause.)
Turpie followed and spoke in the
same strain on the Hawaiian question.
AT the close of his speech, Chandler
presented the majority report of the
committee on privileges and elections.
on the bill to repeal the federal cleo
ton laws.
At 40, on motion of German. the
Senate went into executive session.

"rILL HELL FREEZES OVER
A Representative Who Quotes Gov
ernor Waite.

Denver, Col, Jan. 1.-THE senate,
today, received the majority report of
the special committee appointed to con-
slider the governor message. The re-
port declared there was no occasion
for the extraordinary session, and rec
commended an adjournment tomorrow.
In regard to the proposition to have
Colorado silver bullion coined into
Mexican dollars, the committee stated
they were compelled to recognize the
sovereign authority of the United
States in the issuance of all coin and
the governors suggestion was abso-
lutely impracticab1e. A minority re-
port will be presented, but the majority
report will be adopted.
The house, from present Indications,
will not agree to an immediate adj
journment, and will probably be dead
lock until one gives up the fight. In
the house today, a member from Ell
Paso county created sensation by
introducing the following resolution:
1T looks like the devil for members
of the ninth general assembly to be
stopping at sumptuous hotels in Den
yer and drawing 81 per day from an
impoverished constituency under the
pretence that they can better their
condition by legislation; therefore, be
it resolved, the members of this assem-
bly, and the employees of the same
will stay here without pay, until hell
freezes over and do all we can for
the good of the state'
The merriment over this effort shook
the building and Speaker Amons re-
fused to entertain it.
Baldwin asked the reason.
Because the language is objection
able said the speaker.
well, / only quoted the governor .
Baldwin replied, but the resolution was
not received.

THE DISPATCHES FROM WILLIS.
Great Interest Attached to Those
Now in Hand.

Washtngton,Jan. 11.-Interest in the
Hawaiian question centers In the dis
patches from Willis by the Corwin,
which are in the hands Of the state
department today.
Gresham, Lamont and Carlisle visited
the White House, and had confer
ence with Cleveland. Olney came later
and remained closeted with the presi-
dent and Gresham some time, for the
purpose, it is said of giving advice
on some points involved in the news
Willis sent. All that could be learned
about he dispatches was they contain
about 10000 words, Dole's letter. in
reply to Willis, containing about 5000
words. 1t is thought the matter will
be sent to Congress, but its perusal by
the president occupied considerable
time and it was found the PREPARATION
of copies to be sent to the capitol
would occupy much more. 1t is
thought however, the matter will come
up tomorrow upon the assembling Of
Congress.

DYNAMITE IN NEW YORK.
An Attempt to Blow Up a Tenement
Yesterday.

New York, Jan. u.-An attempt to
blow up with two bombs the tene-
ment house at No. 81 Avenue D, was
made tonight The tailor shop on the
first floor had been locked up over a
month owing to hard times. At 10
o'clock there was a terrific explosion
in the tailor shop. The alarm was
promptly turned in The whole front
of the house had been blown out by
the explosion. All the glass in the
building was shattered, and the shock
aroused the whole neighborhood.
The fremen found the gas meter
had exploded and discovered trail
of kerosene which led from the meter
to the cellar They found a quantity
of cotton batting soaked in kerosene
and bomb. made of lead pipe, to
which a half-burned fuse was at
tached.
A later examination showed the
bomb was filed with enough powder
to blow the entire house into fragments.
The fire department officials claim the
bomb exploded a few minutes after the
gas meter. A great deal of mystery
is surrounding the matter and while
the police department are very reti-
cent, they are making a careful in
vestigatiOn.

washington, Jan. 11.-Ex-Commis-
sioner Blount was this morning before
the Senate committee investigating the
relations of this country with tiawan
under the resolution of Senator Nor
gan.
The efforts of the committee were
directed chiefly to securing an expla-
nation from Blount of his various acts
while in Honolulu. He told, briefly. OF
his appointment by the president as
special commissioner. He said he con-
sidered his appointment within the
bounds of propriety and precedent.
The trip to the islands on the Rush,
the landing in Honolulu on the 18th
of March, Blounts reception by the
people on both sides of the question
were passed over almost without men
ton, as it was fact that both an
nexationists and royalists were ap-
parently exceedingly anxious to make
his stay as pleasant as possible. Inc
decision to have the American ensign
taken down and the American sol
diers returned to the man-of-war was
next reviewed. Blount said he found
the islands and the government en-
tirely under the control or protection
of the United States troops, the Ameri-
can flag floated over the government
building in which the officers of the
provisional government transacted
business. Everywhere was noticed the
influence of this country upon the peo-
pie of the islands. 1t was evident,
Blount said, it would be difficult to
secure an impartial account or an opln-
ion uninfiuenced by the surroundings
as long as this state of affairs contin-
ued Consequently, he decided, on the
31st of March, two days after his ar
rival, in accordance with the spirit of
his instructions, and in the interest
of fair play, that the flag should be
taken down and the American troops
removed. Of this decision he informed
President Dole, and on the following
day, the first of April, he ended the
temporary protectorate and had the
flag lowered.
This proceeding he defended as
within the scope of his mission, and
as an entirely proper proceeding under
the circumstances.
Subsequent events, he said, proved
| the presence of American troops was
not necessary to preserve order or pro-
tect life and property of either the
Americans or the natives.
Blount contended his report was i'm
partial and the investigation was with
out prejudice or favor. He stated he
took the testimony in his own way,
and acted upon his own judgment.
He had been selected to make the ex-
animation, and had been given entire
authority to conduct lit in any manner
he saw fit, and obtain the most accur-
ate and best information concerning
| the revolution. At the conclusion of
the examination of Blount, he had a
| long conference in the committee room
with Senator Morgan.

GOV. JACKSON SWORN IN.
He Declares That Prohibition Is
Practical and Desirable.


He Declares That Prohibition Is
Practical and Desirable.
Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 1.-THE day for
the inauguration of Governor Frank
L. jackson opened bright and clear.
The ceremonies took place in the
rotunda of the capitol building. 1t was
first proposed to make it a marked
demonstration of rejoicing by the Re
publicans i'm honor of that party's
return to the executive power in the
state, but on account of the governors
recent bereavement in the loss of his
daughter Jessie, is was decided, at the
request of the incoming governor, to
dispense with the gala features The
incoming trains, however, brought
great crowds to witness the Inaugural
ton. The procession to, the Capitol
consisted of a military escort and
officials in carriages.
In the course of the address Gov
ernor Jackson touched on a number of
national topics He declared the sta
bility and perpetuity of the republic
depended on the intelligence of it's
common people. To this end the
laborer must have wages enough to
enable him to educate his children.
This he could not do under the foreign
wage scale. On this basis he argued
in favor of protective tariff.
Touching the money of the country
he made an argument in favor of BIZ
metallisn.
On the question of prohibition he
said the operation of the laws of the
state showed that prohibition was
practicable and desirable in some
counties of the state while in others it
was failure. In the latter places ne
thought a provision should be made
for the regulation and diminution of
the evils of the LIQUOR traffic.

ANOTHER FREE PUFF.
The DuvaI Club Makes Another At
tempt to Explain.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 1.-THE Du-
val club, today made another state
ment to the public. the first part of
which is devoted to the history of the
Duval club and the proposed Corbett-
Mitchell glove contest The new and
interesting part of the statement en-
bodies letter from Bowden to the
Governor, which recalls to his memory
that during the conference at ITALIA
hasse, the governor advised the club
people to bring any legal proceedings
that would convince him the contest
was not illegal, and denies any col
fusion between the club and the local
law officers in having Corbett and
Mitchell arrested in order to make up
a test case. The letter states the club
does not propose to have a prize
fght-only a scientific glove contest,
pure and simple
The statement continues: while
this letter was in transit, the county
solicitor took advantage If our liber-
atty of not pushing the habeas corpus
proceedings and nolle pressed the
case against Corbett and Mitchell,
thus depriving us of an adjudication
of the highest court open to us. There
upon we sent telegram to the COVER
nor, asking him to submit the matter,
as he promised our representative, to
the supreme court, which he refused
to do. The club then made the an
nouncement the fight would come of,
the governor, Notwithstanding.

TWAS A LIVELY DUEL.
The Rebels and the Government Gee
Down to Business.

me HeDelS ana the Government Qet
Down to Business.
New York. Jan. 1.-THE Herald's
special from it's Montevideo correspon-
dent at Rio sends word that a lively
rifle and machine gun duel had been
fought between the rebel launches and
the government troops on the shore.
The fighting continued for two hours
and many were wounded in the fusil-
ade. The shot and shell fell in sew
eral parts of the city.
The rebel ships Tamendare and Ju-
piter engaged the forts on the Meth
eroy side, while the forts at the en-
trance of the bay fired on Villagaignon
and the Islas Das Cobras. During the
engagement shell exploded near the
United States war ship Detroit, but no
DANCE was done.
The Herald's special from Valparaiso
says: The CHILEAN government has
declined an extension of the treaty
proposed by the United States gov
eminent. The treaty for the settle
ment of the English claims now before
the Gillian Congress, allows one year
from the time the commission IS in
agurated with six months extension

countries are awaiting ratification OF
the British treaty in the hope Of get
ting a similar treaty.

A CASE MOST MYSTERIOUS.
st. Louis Police Have n Neat Job On
Their Hands.


ST. Louis. Jan. 1.-THE police have
suddenly been confronted by one of
the most mysterious cases they ever
tried to solve.
This morning Steve Wilsko applied
at a boarding place and engaged a
room for a week, paying in advance.
He then left the house, returning late
this afternoon, and going to a room
on the same floor occupied by Josie
Stevenson.
Late tonight man called at the
house and asked to see Miss Steven
son. The landlady found the door of
the room open. Miss Stevenson was ly-
ing on the floor, dead, with a bullet
hole through her forehead. Wilsko
was on the bed, shot twice through
the heart.
Between the two. on t;,e floor, was a
revolver, all the five chambers empty.
The first theory was murder, but after
an examination of the room and the
wounds. the police say, neither of the
dead persons could have fired the fatal
shots Two additional shots from the
revolver were fired at the man, but
missed.
Although several persons were in the
house, no one heard the shooting or
any unusual noise. The man who
peared and cannot be found. His
name has been ascertained to be P. o.
Mason.
Nothing is known of WilSko, and but
little is known of Miss Stevenson. The
whole affair is shrouded in mystery,
and much of sensational nature is
expected in the acknowledgement.

of Hit calling on the president for the
latest information ON the Hawaiian

New York, Jan. ia Herald special
from Jacksonville: The adjutant-gen-
eral held d conference with the officers
of the local militia at the Everett house
tonight, to ascertain what would be
their action in case they were called
upon to stop the prize fight The meet
ing lasted thirty-five minutes, and
when over General Houston felt so
crestfallen that he refused to talk
He was informed by the gentlemen
named they had canvassed the whole
question and had decided to pay no
attention to the governor should he
proclaim martial law in Duval county
and order them out They said they
knew of no law to warrant the gov
ernor in proclaiming martial law to
prevent boxing contests, and they
would not recognize him in the matter
They declared they were still loyal
to the state and would hope to re-
main good militia men, but would not
allow the governor to arrogate to him
self powers he did not possess under
the statutes and use them to injure
relatives and friends. 1t was pointed
out, in a mild way, they were laying
themselves liable to arrest. They an
swered they had canvassed the whole

A TOUGH STORY.
Jim Hall Proves Himself to Be a
Great TaII<er.

st. Augustine, Fla, Jan. ia re-
port is current that Mitchell has ex-
pressed some doubt about the $4,000
stake money not having been put up
as agreed. Billy Thompson was asked
in it." he answered promptly. I'VE all
know very well the money was not to
be deposited in the bank until ten
days before the fight, January rs, when
certified checks would be in the hands
of the stake holder, Richard Fox"
Il gave Mitchell yesterday" said
Jim Hall, ''the hardest days training
he has had. since he came on the is
land. He ran, wrestled. punched the
bag most vigorously and it knocked
six and a half pounds off of him.
When he began in the morning he
weighed ITS pounds; when I was
through with him, his weight was only
1881 pounds. Mitchell will gain most
OF this back before the next twenty
four hours. He will fight at only a
pound or so less than $780,"
