Il Substitute House Resolution on the
HdqUdiian Rebellion.

4 Substitute House Resolution on the
HaqUaiiGn Rebellion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs to-day voted to
report to the House substitute for the
resolution on the Hawaiian rebellion in
PRODUCED by Storer of Ohio. The substi-
tute omits the personal illusions to the
British Minister at Hawaii contained in
the preamble of Storer's resolution, and
also the reference to the republic as an es-
tablished and recognized Government,
which was deemed unnecessary. The SUBJ
stitute is as follows:
Resot0ed, That the President be requested to
transmit to the House of Representatives, if
not incompatible with the public interests, all
correspondence, documents or other informa-
ton in possession of the Government in regard
TO arms having been furnished by British sub
jects to persons in rebellion against the Govern
ment OF the Hawaiian Islands, or in regard to
any Intervention by representatives of Great
Britain to prevent the application of martial
law as proclaimed by said Government to those
concerned in said rebellion who claim to he
British subjects.
Mr.. Storer was instructed to report the
resolution to the House, and will probably
do so Tuesday.

ADMITTED THEIR GUILT.
Sensations Brought Ont in the Napa
ShrieValty Contest.
Arrest of Two Men Who Voted Illegally.
Further Developments Expected
Next Week.

NAPA, Jan. 26.-This has been day of
sensations in the contest over the Napa
County shrievalty, instituted by D. A
Dunlap CD against George S. Mckenzie
(R.), the latter having been declared
elected by one vote. The case opened on
Tuesday and the recount has progressed
without any notable changes in the result,
though about 120 votes have been dis
puted, and will be passed upon by the
court later on, part having been objected
to by each party to the suit.
There are yet four precincts to count
but as the election officers were not on
hand to identity the witness for those pre-
cincts some alleged illegal votes were
examined this morning. One young man
named ]. A. Lowry, who was registered in
the Second Ward in this city, but resided
in Calistoga on election day, swore that he
came down on November early in the
morning and was met by Mckenzie, can
didate for Sheriff, who took him to the
Fourth Ward voting place, but his vote
was refused there, and Mckenzie then
drove him out to the Combsville precinct,
in this city, and there his vote was ac-
cepted. He swore he voted for Dunlap,
McKenzie's opponent, although the latter
had taken him to the poles.
After his testimony was concluded he
was arrested for, Illegal voting, on the
ground that he was not a resident of the
precinct in which he registered, nor of the
one where he voted William F. Rowland
was also arrested for Illegal voting, he
having admitted that he knew at the time
he voted that he did not have the legal
qualifications The preliminary hearing
of these two men is set for next Tuesday
morning.
This mornings issue Of the Napa Journal
contained an article alleging that the
ballots had been tempered with in the in
terest of NICK enzie between election day
and the commencing of this suit. When
the court opened this morning Carrot
McEnerney, counsel for Mckenzie, called
the attention of the court to the article,
and asked him to instruct the representa-
tives of said paper to publish no more
such statements, but merely to report the
proceedings in court. The Judge so in
structed the representative of the paper
and notified him that further similar
articles during the progress of the trial
would make it necessary for the court to
call him to account for contempt War
rants are also out for several others for
illegal voting, but the arrests have not
been made. Those who profess to know
say that next weeks proceedings in court
will develop some striking things. The
contest is the chief topic of conversation
tonight.

Mills was correctly reported in suggesting
an investigation in view of the charge that
FRYE had bought Hawaiian bonds at %
cents on the dollar and was an annexation
ist for the purpose of enhancing their
value, to which Mills replied: 81 think /
did say something of that kind, but l said
it in spirit of playfulness. surely
should not have thought of charging him
with anything so sordid and mean.
Replying to this Frye said he had sup
posed he and Mills had known each other
long enough for each to know whether the
other would steal, and that dropped the
controversy, and the vote was taken on the
Vest substitute amendment, which resulted
in its adoption by vote of "a to %, the vote
being as follows:
Ayes-Bate Blackburn, Blanchard, CAT
fiery, Butler, Call, Cockrell, George, Glib
son, Gray, Harris, Hunton, Irby, Jones of
Arkansas, Lindsay, Martin, Mills, Pascoe,
Pettigrew, Ransom, Turpie, Vest, Villas and
Walsh-24.
Noes-Aldrich, Allen, Allison, Cameron,
Carey, Chandler, Cullom, Davis, Frye,
Gallinger, Hale, Higgins, Kyle, Mitchell
of Oregon, PETER, Plat, Pritchard, Proctor,
Sherman, Stewart, Teller and Wolcott-22
Mr.. Teller characterized the amendment
as inconsistent and misleading. The fact
that Minister Stevens had been extra Off
cious, if indeed he had been, did not justify
the President in attempting to undo what
the people of Hawaii had done. On the
contrary, it had been the policy of this Gov
eminent to recognize any Government that
could maintain itself. In view of these
facts he was not willing to put in the
records of the Senate an absolute false
hood. "And that, he said, sis what you
do if you accept this amendment" and
he added, he did not believe all the Sena-
tors who had cast their votes for the
amendment approved it in their hearts.
After further criticlzing the course of the
administration, Mr.. Teller said:
"If the administration desires to go to the
people again on this Hawaiian question,
they will receive lesson compared with
which the rebuke of the last election will
| be a mere passing shower. 1t will be sorry
day when the people get another lick at
them on Hawaii
There was applause and laughter in the
galleries at Teller's earnestness, which
was checked by the presiding officer.

was diseased because duty was imposed on
her sugar" Laughter
s'You state, then, that GERMANY comes
home with lie on her hps," retorted
Blair sharply, "and expects us to legislate
on that basis"
Wilson made no reply, but concluded by
saying this differential should be repealed
because it was contrary to our treaty stipu-
lations; because it gave the country dis
eliminated against provocation for finding
means of retaliation which alarmed other
countries, and lastly, because it would re-
lieye the country of an unjust tax and one
not needed for purposes Of revenue.
Meyer (D.) of Louisiana opposed the
bill. Price CD of Louisiana took the posi-
ton that the differential duty was not a
violation of the most favored nation clause
of the treaty with Germany. There was
no guarantee that if the differential was
removed Germany would cease her dis
elimination against our meat production.
At the conclusion of Prices remarks
Hepburn (R.) of Iowa gave notice of an
amendment he should offer later. If pro-
vides for tax of 81 per ton on vessels
owned in whole or part by subjects of any
foreign Government entered at any port of
the United States. This shall apply only
to the vessels of such nations as shall, in
the judgment of the President, make any
trade or commercial or police regulation
which prohibits or unfairly impedes the
entrance or Gale of any food or farm pro-
ducts imported from the United States.
Warner CD of New York closed the de-
bate for the day. In the course of his re-
marks he read a statement from sugar
journal that although this bill might pass
the House it would fail in the Senate
The House at 10 P. N. adjourned.

Grass FALLEN Sfn,.e

GRASS VALLEY, Jan. 26-About midnight
burglars chopped through the roof of vii
liam Campbell's grocery store in Boston
Ravine for the purpose of robbery. They
cut through the outer safe made of iron
and plaster of paris, using axes found in
the store. They hacked away at the inner
safe, but it being made of steel they could
not effect an entrance. The combination
knobs of the two small safes were broken
off, but nothing was secured.
The burglars drank seven bottles of beer
and half a bottle of brandy and then es-
capped. 1t is believed the burglars were in
the store till nearly daylight Sheriff

THE LAST LIkK THE CHAIN.
Mrs. Leake Says She Saw Durrant and
His Victim Enter the Church.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 16.-A
local paper says the last link in the cham
of evidence against Theodore Durrant
has been discovered.
a woman who lives across the street
from Emanuel church, has reported to the
police that she saw Durrant and Blanche
Lamont enter the church at 4:10 p. M,
on April srd, the day of Miss
Lamont's disappearance. The woman's
name is Mrs Leake and she lives
at 124 Bartlett street. She is fifty
years OF ago and has been member Of
the church q number of years. Sheknew
Durrant ard Miss Lamont intimately,
and therefore, cannot be mistaken with
regard to the identity of either.
She says she has remained silent since
the discovery of the bodies of the two
girls, because she did not wish to un-
dergo the annoyance of being witness
in the caee, and did not consent to di-
yulge her information to the police until
she became convinced that it was duty
she owed to the State.

He DIDN'T KNOW HIS MAN.
Gov. HOIsOmb Will Have No Hand
in Breaking the Solid South.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 16.-Cougress-
man Hunter, of Bowling Green, KY,
recently addressed letter to Gov. Hol-
comb, in which he requested the Gov
ernor to assist in raising a fund in Ne
braska, "to aid in the election of a Re
publican Governor in Kentucky, and
thus break the Solid South"
Gov. Holconfb, who is Populist, re-
piled that it would please him very much
to witness breaking up of the Solid
South, but that he would regret to see
the people of Dixie throw off the yoke of
Cleveland Democracy only to assume the
bonds of such an organization as the Re-
publican party. The governor adds:
"Your letter was doubtless addressed
to me because the news of the partial re-
demptnn of Nebraska from Republican
misrule had not yet reached the head
quarters Of Ehe Republican executive
eommttee of Kentucky, therefore re-
turn the Communication as you would
doubtless not desire to have it given pub
hcitv."

REVOLUTION IN ECUADOR.
Washington Officials Think ii viii be
a Serious fair.

WAsHIEGToN, u. c., Aug. 16.-The
impression prevails in both the State AID
Navy Departments that the revolution
in Ecuador will be quite serious affair
before the internal troubles there are
settled.
No advices have been received con
eerning recent engagements. The State
Department has received from Minister
TRlman at Quito, a dispatch dated July
goth, whicl shows what the situation
was at that time nit Minister Tillman
says that there are no Indications of an
early settlement of thecompl.cated polit-
ical conditions of that country.
Mr. Tillman adds that the strangest
feature of the revolution is that, with
the exception of few officers or leaders,
tire armies are composed of the poorest
of the population; that well dressed men
take their daily walks and throng the
plagas unmolested and wholly GisinteT-
ested as to the result.

| called an hour later and was invited
in and the board, as body, confirmed
the facts already obtained.
A dividend Of six and half per cent.
will be paid by the North Carolina Rail
road Company which will subject the
stock to taxation. The Southern pays
this tax also. A large private stock in
terest was here and advised that the
lease be made. The Southern surrenders
its right to remove bet1erments when
the lease terminates by surrender or ex-
piration.
From the best information obtainable
every member of the board came here
favoring the re leasing of the road. This
the Southern people doubtless knew for
it had been published in the NEWS AND
OBSERVER 1t is known that few mem
bers were opposed to the ninety nine
year clause and two at least voted
against it. These two are understood to
be Overman and Spruill.
1t seems that the Southern people made
this proposition as their ultimatum, and
they doubtless knew thab the board, al
most without exception, favored the lease;
that his Excellency Governor Carr IA
vored it, and that the pr vate stockhold-
ers, in order to be assured of their divi-
dends and release from taxation, IA
vored it. All they had to do was to
watch and wait. They watched, they
waited and they won.

COMMITTEE NOT COMPLETE.
Only the Best Men Will BE Selected in
the Various States.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 16.-The
Executive Commission appointed by the
Democratic Silver Conference to affect
permanent organization, met at the
Metropolitan Hotel to day and decided
not to attempt to complete the National
Committee for the present The post
ponement was rendered necessary by
the fact that the committee had re-
ceived the names of proper men for the
national organization from only the
States represented at the conference.
They consider it desirable that the best
men should be had in selecting the COM
mittee. And after distributing the work
Of obtaining the necessary information
among the members of the Executive
Committee, adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman. Col Young said
to-day that it was the psrpose of the
Executive Committee to complete the
National organization as soon as practi-
cable.
1t is probable that the meeting of the
announcement of this committee will be
held in some western city and st. Louis
has been suggested as the place most CON
yeniently located It is also expected
that permanent headquarters will be
chosen at this meeting. There is some
division Of opinion as to where the head
quarters should be. Some of The mem
bers of the committee advocate locating
at Washington, while others are of the
opinion that western city would be
preferable. A large majority of the de-
legates to the conference have left for
their homes.

ANOTHER GOLD SHIPMENT.
But it was Small and Treasury Officials
Think the Worst as Over.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 16 Late
this afternoon the Treasury officials were
advised from New York that $500, 900 in

which leaves the gold reserve at the close

Treasury off ials were agreeably sur
prised at the smallness Of to-day's with
drawals, and this, added to the reduction
of foreign exe ange and the reported
abundance Of foreign bills now on the
market, gives hopeful aspect to the
situation.
Indeed, the opinion is freely expressed
that the worst is over and that there
will fbe few, if any moro heavy ship
ments during the remainder Of the sea

Sundays riot were arraigned for trial
this afternoon. They are being tried
under two bills of indictment, for carry
ing concealed weapons and for taking
part in az unlawful assembly.
A negro named Micajah Watts, one OF
the leaders Of the mob, was tried this af-
ternoon for carrying concealed weapons.
The jury, after being out fifteen minutes,
returned verdict of guilty. Then the
question Of proceeding with the case
against the rioters was taken up and con
sidered.
The term Of court ends tomorrow
night and it was thought by a maj ority
of the attorneys it would be impossible
to get through by that time. Here was
dilemma. Finally it was concluded
to go on with the cases, with the under
standing that lawyer g. B. Watson
would go as a special messenger to Gov
ernor Carr to secure commission to
continue court on Monday, if necessary.
The Gatling gun which was brought
here from Charlotte to prevent a continu
auce of Sunday nights riot was returned
home today on the same train with Ar
thur Tuttle, who was carried to the peni-
tentiary and whom the negroes thought
the whites were going to lynch.
Bud Cunningham gets twenty years at
hard labor in the penitentiary for killing

Blackburn may find the situation
