Congressional.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Senate
was the center of interest to-day as
the result of the warm discussion of
the financial question and personal
criticisms of the President on Satur-
day.
Stewards resolution declaring the
Government had no legal authority
to buy gold coin, in preference to sill
yer coin for any cause whatever,
was called up. Stewart spoke of the
humiliating position of the United
States in being held by the throat by
gol | commissioners, which had the
power to "coerce and squeeze" the
country up to next October, when the
contract expired.
Gray then took the floor. He ex-
pressed surprise that the Senators
from Massachusetts (Lodge) and Col
orado, (Wollcott) had so far gone ont
of their way as to indulge in violent
assault apon the executive The
President had performed his duty,
encumbent on him by the law. That
was such that the evasion of it would
have been a plain dereliction of duty.
The law made it necessary to main
a parity between the metals by re-
decming in either. No sooner had
Congress assembled than the Presi-
dent appealed to Congress, concern
ing the financial condition. A bill
was formed on lines suggested by
that message and the House saw fit to
reject it. Again the President ap
pealed to Congress. Gray read from
the Presidents message urging patri
otto and bipartisan action to meet the
emergency.
"Does the Senator think" interject
ed Stewart, "the President has re
established confidence in our affairs
by hiring the assistance of foreign
syndicate?"
Gray said he would fully consider
that point later. Proceeding with the
Presidents message the Senator said
"The specific statement of the law die
not provide for bonds payable i'll gold
At that time Lodge had not com
planned of the conditions clearly Sc
forth by the President, but had waited
until the present for the scathing de
nunciation.
"Having presented the situation t.
both branches of Congress in appeal
almost pathetic in their earnestness,
saidGray, "the President was left alon,
to struggle with the condition ant
meet it,"
The Senator told OF the tremendou
drains of gold from the Treasury run
ming up to S7N00,000 in one week
shortly before the contract was made
From December 1st to the time of tn
contract S17,OOO,000 was Withdraw
and only half exported, showing tn
other half was boarded at home. Tn
quick action was necessary to pre-
vent the country from going to a 81

vertise for bids for gold.

Horrible Torture.

Lie honolulu correspondent or the
San Francisco Call gives the follow
ing account Of the torture to which
Captain William Davies, of the steam
er Waimanolo, was subjected by the
Hawaiian authorities to extort a con-
fession from him. 1t throws some
light on the peculiar legal process
at present existing in the Hawaiian
Islands:
Davies and his mate, Knudsten,
we're arrested on the morning of Jan.
5th. Knudsten made a confession,
telling what little he knew. Davies,
who is an American citizen. refused to
give any information, and, while pro
testing his Innocence, demanded an
interview with the United States
Minister This was refused. Davies
was then taken into the prison yard,
where he was shown two ring bolts in
the wall above his head.
The uniformed inquisitors of the
Government then gave the Captain
to understand that if Il complete con-
fession were not forthcoming he
would be strung up by his thumbs.
Davies did not finch, but demanded
that if the American Minister could
not come, the Consul General should
be informed that he, as an American
citizen, wished to see him.
His protest was in vain. His legs
were bound below the knees and his
thumbs were dashed with whip cord
to the ring bolts. A box was placed
below him so that the unfortunate
mans toes just touched it. Davies
was stripped to the waist, while Mar
shall Hitchcock, Attorney General
Smith and Surgeon Cooper, with a
stenographer, awaited the statement
which they believed would be shortly
forthcoming.
They were mistaken. Davies would
not weaken. Sweat oozed from every
pore. The strong man in his agony
begged a drop Of water to cool the
thirst that consumed him. The ten,
dons of the victims limbs stood out
like strands of rope; blood vessels

HIS tormentors urged HIM to impE'

Me thods of Lighting.

From the pine torch of the savage
to the incandescent electric light is g
long stride, and the greater portion
of it has been taken by man in the
past hundred years. Until the inven-
ton of Illuminating gas men depend
ed on oil and a wick, in all forms
from the stone lamp of the Romans,
and the saucer and tallowed rag OF
our own back-woodsman, to the
glass lamp with the argand burner
supplied with the spermacetl oil of
the whale. The lighting of city
streets, however, appears to be Of
considerable antiquity, as Antioch
seems to have had it's streets lighted
in the third century, while there is
still extant an order Of the governor
of Odessa, sos A. D., that the street
lamps should be kept burning all
night. Paris was the first modern
city to have lighted streets, 1924, the
practice having died out during the
middle ages. In London, when it
was proposed, the objection was seri-
ously urged that people would be un-
able to sleep in their houses, if the
streets were lighted. Until dozon
years ago gas was the great artificial
illumination, and it has not lost its
place, since several of the leading
railroads, such as The Burlington,
light their sleepers and coaches with
the Pintsch compressed gas, carried
in iron cylinders under the car. In
other respects. as we'll as that of a.
