President Cleveland has upon more than
one occasion shown himself TO be so
strongly devoted. Bus. II the spirit
which characterized the discussions I'm
the House and Senate Saturday is main.
tanned In the discussion OF the matter
this week, there is little probability OF a
change. unless 1t be directly ordered by
Congress. There isn't the slightest
doubt that majority Of Congress favors
the United States controlling Hawaii,
either by anpoxation or by protectorate.
Delegate Flynn, OF Oklahoma, thinks
the half-breeds are al the bottom OF
much OF the trouble OF the Indians and
he attempted 10 get the Indian Appro-
priatlon blil amended so as TO provide
that every person In the Indian and
Oklahoma territories, In whom the white
blood predominates. shall be considered
to be white person, become a citizen OF
the United STATES. aud be precluded
from holding Office IN any Indian govern
ment: but the amendment was ruled out
on "a point Of order.
Although some of the members OF the
House Pacific Railroads Commttce say
that comttee will report faIorably "A
bill for the settlement OF the debts que
from those companies, and that IL will
be alike satisfactory u the government
and the railroad people, few believe that
this Congress will legislate on the ques-
ton, although the town Is full Of people
directly Interested In II.
The decision of the House judiciary
committee 10 reopen the case OF Judge
Kicks, OF Ohio, after having once ordered
an impeachment resolution 10 be report
ed to the House. Is regarded by nearly
everybody as indicating that the commit
tee will not report the impeachment
resolution ut all. An enormous amonut
OF pressure has been and is being
brought U bear Oh members of the com
mittee in behalf ST Judge Kicks. and II
is said that Representative Bailey. OF
Texas, who Las been pushing the i'm
peachnent and who is now very much
disgusted, may make some sensational
disclosures On the iloGr Of the House
concerning the matter.
Many have been the attempts to form
ulate compromise financial bill that
can command d ma jority OF both House
| and Senate, but up tO this time the
would-be cOmpr0misers, or the pretended
coEprOmlsers as some think them TO be.
| have not succeeded IN producing bill
that could be passed by either House or
Senate. There Is a suspicion, as yet not
very clearly defined. that some people are
not nearly 80 anxious for financial legisla-
tion a they appear to be. unless they can
| get In just exactly as they want it. In
other words, they are perfectly willing TO
adopt compromise measure If the other
fellows will give up all their demands
and not ask them to give up anything.
Everybody knows that sort of com
promiser. Senator Sherman calls his
bill for the issue OF per cent gold bonds,
upon which national banks may issue
circulation up to the par value, com
promise measure, but IL is not so regard.
ed even by members of his own party
Representative Walker, Of Mass, who
also has compromise bill, says the
Sherman bill can never pass, aud calls
attention 10 the fact that twenty years
periodical attempts to pass bill Ia the
House, allowing national banks to issue
currency up to the par value OF bonds
deposited by them have been made and
that they have all failed. Walkers bill
Is the shortest yet introduced. 1t simply
gives the Secretary OF the Treasury
authority TO issue per cent short time
coin bonds TO relieve the Treasury. The
silver men will support no bill that does
not provide for unlimited coinage, and
without their support no bill can pass.
