Mr.. THURsToN, the minister of the
defacto government of Hawaii to this
country, in recent interview, said the
chief danger to quiet, stable and peace
full government i'll his country now,
lies in the love the ''smugglers, beach
corners and soldiers of fortune" who
infest Honolulu have for revolution.
IF Mr.. Thurston's eyes have been open
since he came to the United States, he
knows that the well-informed and un-
prejudiced people here know that the
recent deposition of the legitimate gov
eminent of Hawaii was effected almost
entirely by smugglers, beach-comers and
soldiers of fortune-aided by the out
rageous assistance of q. S. marines.
So that the danger to which he refers
comes from the same people who have
possessed themselves of the govern
ment of his country.

CONGRESS.

In the Senate yesterday the postof-
flee appropriation bill was considered.
but no vote was reached. Mr.. Allen
continued his discussion of the alleged
election frauds in Alabama. MIR. Nor
gan, replied denying the charges. AT
5 o'clock private pension bills were
taken up and many of them were
passed.
In the House the executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill was passed af-
ter considerable controversy. Two of
the items of the bill reducing the force
at the pension Office and providing an
nual clerks for members of Congress
excited warm controversy. Messrs.
Picker, Milliken, Hainer and Baker
protested against the reduction of the
pension Office force, alleging that it
was covert move to displace old sol
diers and widows of soldiers employed
there. The debate was diverted into
financial channels by Mr.. Coombs and
Mr.. Van Voorhis who INDUCED in hot
criticisms and personalities. The op-
position to the pension item was not
effective, however, and the effort to
secure annual clerks for members was
finally defeated-yeas, rs; nays, 142.
The bill was then passed.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. FEB. 10, 1895.

Now THAT the Potomac is again
blocked up, the Washington news
papers, with one accord, have started
the same old cry against the Long
Bridge that is raised just as regularly as
ice comes on the river, and thereby they
alarm the timid people of that city with
fears of floods and deluge. A portion
of Washington is Quilt on low ground
bordering the river, and such ground
any where, and in spring as
well as winter, is liable to overflow.
That the Long Bridge is the cause Of
such overfows when they occur in
Washington is not believed by those
most familiar with hydraulics. The solid
part of the bridge is built over reclaim
ed flats as high as it is, SO that, of course,
that part of it does not obstruct the
flow Of either ice or water, and the
spans of the part over water are wide
enough to allow the passage of as much
ice as could pass the site if it were not
there. The Long Bridge has stood for
nearly century, and Washington has
stood longer, Notwithstanding ice
blockades, and the former is as likely
to remain as the latter, notwithstand-
Ing the annual clamor of the Washing
ton newspapers.

MEMORIAL BRIDGE.-A strong effolt
is being made by Messrs. Frank Hume
and James E. Clements, of Alexandria
county, and many others to secure the
passage of the House bill to provide fof
the construction of a memorial bridge
across the Potomac river, reported up
on favorably by the committee of inter-
state and foreign commerce few
weeks ago. The committee say 10
their report that in the Fiity-second
Congress private corporation sought
to build bridge at the point in ques-
ton, and bill granting the franchise
for that purpose was introduced. The
War Department so strenuously and
urgently opposed the granting of this
site to Q private corporation, upon the
ground that the site was needed by the
government, that the committee de-
clined to report the bin.
The bridge proposed will be begun
with 100000, and is estimated to cost
$500, 900, but will be so constructed as
to be susceptible of continuous orna-
mentation by memorials of the states
men end soldiers of the republic. 1t
would form the first step to the propos--
ed Mount Vernon Avenue which is to
connect Washington with the grave of
Washington and to apportion its miles
