THE WHOLE HAWAIIAN QUESTION

will come up. and it is expected that with
the accessions given to the opponents OF
the administration by the arrival of sena-
tors Lee Mantle and Clark Of Montana, the
action of the Senate last week when by a
majority of two votes it adopted the Vest
substitute e:upholdingith Lolicy of non-inter-
yention in Hawaiia, will be reversed. and
this substitute was never acted upon final
Iy. and is still pending as an amendment to
the ori ginal resolution which condemned
the action of the administration and de-
| clared it the sense of the Senate that war
ship be kept at Honolulu.
An appropriation is recomme nded to be
added to the bill iy the Senate committee
on the appropriation for the construction
OF our,American cable to Hawaii, (which indl-
rectiy conflicts with the recommendations
uf the President in his recent message as 20
landing place of Hawaiian cables, and
will necessarily[provoke further debate. This
amendment appropriates SoO0,000 and
ant horiZes the President to contract for the
entire work of laying a telegraphic catle
between the United States and the Ha-
waiian Islands. and direct prosecution CT
such work whenever such contract shall be
made. This will be- followed by another
partisan debate on the amendment also
re recommended by the Senate committee on
appropriations, to appropriate $1,000 for the
execution of the obligation OF the United
States in the protection of the interests and
property of the United States in the
Samoan Islands under the existing treaty
with the government of those islands and
with the governments of Germany and
Great Britain. Here again the recommends
tions of Secretary Gresham are antagoLiZed.
Senators Aldrich. Hawley, Lodge. Hoar.
Chandler. Allison, Teller and Platt propose
to take part IN the dobate on the Hawaiian
resolutions and possibly also upon the
Samoan question. The Populist Senator
from Nebraska. is liza BILE at any time to pre-
oipitate another partisan debate upon privi-
legged questions by calling up his resolution
to investigate the recent election of a
Senator in Alabama, the so-called creden-
tials of Col. Reese, Senator Morgan's Popu-
list opponent, having been introduced and
plac ed on file. 1t is within the limits of
possibility that Mr.. Allen may get the united

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
An Exciting Week OF Debate Antiei-
pated in the Senate,
HAWAIIAN RESOLUTION WILL
PROBABLY BE RECONSIDERED.

Several Other Bills that Will Cause a Wig
Adjournment and the Remaining Ses
sion Will Be Crowded With Business
The Currency Bill VIII Come Up Ill the
House.
Washington, February 3.-The Fifty-tnrd
Congress enters tomorrow upon the last
four weeks of its session. In the Senate and
House. the few working days now remain
ing before the final adjournment are likely
to be crowded with striking incidents and
exciting debates on topics any one of which
may produce deadlock and compel the
calling of the Fifty-fourth Congress in
extra session.
Earnest efforts are being made by the ad-
ministration leaders to avoid this contin-
gency, but the situation is rendered less
favora BILE than at the beginning OF the
session by the fact that the Democrats have
practically lost control of the Senate and
are SO divided on financial issues in the
House as to be practically in the minority
in that chamber upon many of the leading
questions at issue.
The Senate by agreement will take vote
or the District of Columbia bill, perfectly
inoffensivs measure OF local administration,
which in previous years is usually passed
as rapidly as il could be read. but this year
has occupied the attention of The Senate
three days notwithstanding the indignant
denials of any dilatory tactics contem-
plated on this measure. Much more i'm
portant than the vote on tlis bill will be
the de bate which will be sprung tomorrow
in the morning hour on the motion of Sena-
tor Mcpherson of New Jersey to discharge
the finance committee from further con-
sidering of the bill introduced by Mr.. Sher-
man for the relief of the treasury. This
will undoubtedly precipitate another hnan-
oial discussion. Mr.. MCPHERSON will speak
for the resolution himself, and Mr.. PETER
has prepared a speech on the general sub
ject which he has been anxious to deliver
for several days. The discussion will
probably run through the morning hour for
several days.
When the diplomatic consular appropria-
tion bill is called up, as it is expected to be.
early in the week. by Senator Blackburn of
kentucky, chairman of the subcommittee
which has it in charge,a still more animated
political debate is in prospect.

HE WANTS WAR.

Senator Chandler wants war with
England. and Judging from his express
sions he wants 1t bndly--that Is, he
war with England with his own rreci-
Gus self at u safe distance. Once on
time this country was evolved In "a
little unpleasantness" and young men
were very much needed on Mr. Chan
dler's side but he stayed at home and
sought Office and has been. doing the
same thing ever since. For thirty
years or more Senator Chandler has
been an office holder of some kind. but
1t Is yet To be shown that he has ever
been of any particular good to anybody
or anything except himself. OF course,
in c,ise Of war with England he would
be exempt from military duty and
there might be more office for him.
But why should Senator Chandler
wish war with England? War under
the best circumstances is Il serious
thing and should not be rcsorted to ex-
ccpt as the last resort. England has
done many things. and is doing some
things now which arc wrong, but SO
long as this country is not evolved
why should we so out of our way to
attack her, IL nation with which we
are Mt peace? The two great English
speaking nations bound together by so
many ties should be the last to go TO
war with each other, and notwlthstand-
ing Senator Chandeliers wishes, such
will be the case.
Whenever the national honor, or the
rights Of the United States are brought
In question the American people will
see that proper steps are taken to vim
dictate both. and If war is necessary
TO accomplish it. why let it come. but
not until then.

A MONUMENT FOR VANCE.

In his day and generation. says the
Charleston News and Courier, 'Zeb
Vance was the most popular man I'm
North Carolina. and his life was devot-
ed TO his people. They followed him
without question, and when he died
there was mourning In almost every
home in the Old North State" but how
soon we are forgotten is illustrated in
this case. as In many others. Soon after
Senator Nance's death an organization
was formed known as the Vance Me
mortal Association. the object of which
was to collect funds for n monument to
the dead Senator. the cost of which was
estimated to be almost $4,000. but. as
our contemporary remarks, times were
hard and Vance was dead" and as n
consequence contributions were small
in amounts and few in number the re-
port Of the treasurer made last week of
the amount in hand being only $500.
The friends OF the dead statesman, of
course. regret this, but 1t Is gratifying
to know that an effort is being made
TO renew the work of the association,
and the hope is that success will at
tend the undertaking. 1t is suggested,
says the News and Courier, that the
women be enlisted In the undertaking.
We hope that they will take 1t up The
men are too busy looking after the liv-
ing to remember the dead, but the
women do not forget, and the women
of North Carolina should not forget
Zeb Vance. Let them build his monu-
ment."

THE BEAR AND TIE LION

1.-THE reports from China are true

war in the Orient more destructive
by far than the one recently closed be
tween China and Japan. The British
Lion is growing because the Russian
Bear has his paw on Chinese soil, and
the situation is such that war may he
declared at any time. The treaty of
China with Russia cedes to the lattc.,
privileges which they say in England
means ruin to English interest in the
East IL permitted to stand. and that un
less they are modified war Is inevitable.
In such an event other European pow
ers will be drawn into the conflict and
there is no forctelling the result. 1t
is said that the principals In such a
struggle would most likely be Russia

The proprietors of the Philadelphia
carpet mills tried to reopen their mills
on Monday, agreeing to grant the ad-
vance asked by the striking opera
tives, beginning Dec. next, provided
the operatives would 60 to work now
at the old rate and continue till that
time. The operatives were not to be
hooked with this bait, and the mills
did not start. But the most signifi-
can't part of the news is the statement
that a wealthy man has offered to
equip mill for the operatives to car
ry on the cooperative plan. Here is
a new use for accumulated wealth.
Co-operat ton has been handicapped
by lack of capital to provide adequate
working plants, and the difficulty of
competent ability in management.
The first of these may be easily over
come if other owners of accumulated
wealth will take steps such as this re-
ported one, and when that is done, it
will be no more difficult to secure
competent managing ability than it
has been under the prevailing system.
Many economists have long looked to
CO. operation as solution of ''the Ia
Dor problem" 1t can only become so
through combination with accumulat-
ed wealth on fair terms to both.
