ton to United States citizens who were
serving under the existing Government.
The Senator said the Secretary of the
Navy had virtually announced that Ameri-
cans in Hawaii who assisted in maintain
ing peace would forfeit the protection of
the United States.
In closing, Teller said: 81 will predict
that the next administration, be it Demo
cratic, Republican or Populistic, will see to
it that the Hawaiian Islands are part of
this republic and the flag of the United
States flies ovee them as it does over US. "
Gray CD of Delaware upheld the course
of Secretary Herbert quoting many au-
thorities on international law. He was glad
to hear Teller concede the Americanism of
the Democratic party.
But" said Gray, "that party does not
show it's Americanism by being party to
a mean, paltry conspiracy on a distant
island. 1t does not trail the United States
flag in the mire in order to exhibit it's
Americanism. II does not drag a poor
dusky queen from her throne to haunt its
Americanism. 1t seeks other ways of
showing its sturdy American spirit"
Plat read from President Cleveland's
message in 1886 urging the Importance of
close relations with Hawaii, and saying the
establishment of cable should not be
overlooked. In 1888 Mr.. Cleveland again
urged on Congress the desirability of es-
tablishing q submarine cable to Hawaii.
President Harrison had recommended
similar action.

''No, the new Government of Hawaii is
menaced by its defenders. If it turns in
one direction it meets a friend in need-in
need of something at its hands, and the de-
sire is either emolument or revenge. This
universal want naturally causes competi-
ton and the downing of one means the
raising of the other. So they quietly fight
over the spoils.
GA small reign of terror prevails with the
so-called American League in the role of

LONDON, Feb. 6.-General Barrios, special
envoy of the Government of Nicaragua to
the British Government, has gone to Paris.
1t is learned that his mission here has
not been successful. There is still some
friction between Nicaragua and Great
Britain in regard to the arrest of Acting
British Vice-Consul Hatch by Nicaraguan
authorities at Bluefelds in September last
at the time of the disturbance. Hatch
claimed that the Nicaraguan authorities
refused to inform him of the nature of the
charges which caused his arrest, and at
Greytown, Nicaragua, when the captain of
the British warship Mohawk demanded his
release no attention was paid to the request.
Hatch was eventually released, but he had
to leave Nicaragua for Jamaica until the
affair was settled. The Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, Earl Kimberly, de-
clined to receive General Barrios.

She FAILED TO MAKE SPEED.
The Crack Cruiser Philadelphia Did Not
Come Up to Expectations.

The Philadelphia lies in the harbor of
Honolulu practically disabled, and her
trial record of 1877 knots is diminished by
the crack liner Australia.
The cruiser steamed away from this port
at II O'Clock on January 20 for the Ha-
waiian Islands, under orders from the
Navy Department to drive with all the
speed of the twin screws. AS she had been
built with view of showing the rest of the
White Squadron clean pair of iron heels,
her officers and crew looked forward to a
flier toward the land of the Kanakas. The
vessel was steamed leisurely out of the
harbor under two boilers, making about
six knots.
When we'll clear of the land two more
boilers were fired up. The patent log
showed a speed of IA. Two more boilers
were added, and the great ship that earned
a speed bonus for her builders made, with
six boilers bubbling under a forced draft
Just 1873 knots each hour. This practically
total failure of the vessel to reach within
eight knots of her record was so obvious
that disappointment in the crack qualities
of their ship was felt fore and aft. Twelve
knots is about the speed of the Anticipated
Mohican and less than the time of
Bering Sea sealing pirate. A cabin con-
sultation of the officers was held, and the
engineers force began an investigation.
The port engine started alone, and gradu-
ally the propeller was run up to sixty revo-'
lutions per minute, with speed of 9.5
knots. At seventy-two revolutions the
speed was increased to IL knots.
Then the starboard engine was driven
alone and at so revolutions of the screw the
speed was less than 2 knots. At seventy
five revolutions she made 81 knots, and at
the great speed of ninety-four turns of the
propeller she logged 3 knots.
The machinery was carefully examined,
but the engineers failed to find the source
of the trouble. AS the starboard engine
was useless and only an expense in the
matter of coal consumption it was put out
of commission, and the ship steamed
slowly on her way with the port propeller,
arriving in Honolulu forty-eight hours
behind the Australia making the run of,
210O miles in nine days and eight hours,

Endorsement of the Plan Proposed fn
Congress by Phillips.
RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 6.-The supreme
council of the Farmers Alliance declined
to take action to-day on the plan projected
by the National Federation of Farmers for
merging all the farmers organizations into
one great company.
The council Endorsed the Phillips bill,
introduced in the national House of Repre-
sentatives January IA, 1895, providing for
the appointment by the President of nom
partisan commission to collect information
and to consider and recommend Legislation
to meet problems presented by labor, agrl-
culture and capital.
1t is to be called ''the Industrial Com
mission" and is to be composed of twenty
one members. The President is to APP
point five representatives of labor, five
representatives of agriculture and five
representatives of capital. Each one of
these divisions of five members is to APP
point two additional members, thus max
ing the whole number of the commission
twenty-one. The commission shall con-
vene in the city of Washington sixty days
after appointment.
The duty of the commission shall be to
investigate questions pertaining to immi-
grafton, to labor, to agriculture and to
business and recommend to Congress such
legislation as it may deem best upon these
subjects, and it shall suggest such laws as
will harmonic any conflicting interests
and be equitable to the laborer, the en-
ployer, the producer and the consumer.
The total cost of the commission shall not
exceed $4,000 per year.

"It is in line with what the rulers of Ha-
wall have been in the habit of doing when
ever they were in tight place, except
that in this case the situation is worse,
and the declaration is, of course, more ex-
IRENE than has ever been made before.
The old King did substantially the same
thing once in 1880, when a mass-meeting
was held b protest against Cabinet he
had appointed, and again in 1887, when, to
save himself, he proclaimed new consti-
tuition, which practically deprived him of
power. Since 1898 the ex-Queen has tried
to save herself by offering to proclaim the
old constitution, but it was too late and
she was deposed.

has no formal force whatever, but it will

"Now, as to the disposal of Wilcox and
his fellows. President Dole is disposed to
be lenient and only in last resort will he
make use Of any extreme measures, even
unde the provocation of a rebellion as
ago. But his friends-the friends he
deprecates, the American League and
others-have devoted the enemies of
the republic to death, and the Gov
eminent is between the devil and the deep
sea, if the classic quotation will fit as de-
scription of the triangular trouble now go
ing on at the islands.
Another element of danger to the in
FAINT republic is the man from Japan. 1t
was a mistake, people say, that they were
not deported home after the term of their
labor contract had expired. AS it is they
are a settled fact in the population, and
their great number makes them figure to
be taken into consideration. The Mikado

that his people must have equal suffrage
with the other subjects of the new Govern
ment. Dole again hesitates, and hesita-
ton is not good at this iuncture."

MAKING A HEAVY LOSS.
Wells, Fargo & Co. Ask to Have a
Contract Modified.
They Are Getting Rather the Worst End
Of Their Deal With tho
Santa Ee.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-Judge Caldwell in the
United States Court to-day listened to
arguments for and against a modification
OF the contract by the Atchison system
and the Wells-Fargo Express Company.
The arguments are the result of petition
presented by the receivers CT the Atchison
asking Judge Caldwell to set day to hear
the representatives of the express company
on the burdensome character of the con-
tract. The petition alleged that the con-
tract was made on December /, 1892. for
five years, and by it's terms the Atchison
and the roads controlled by it were to
afford the express company facilities for
their business. In return the express
company was to pay So per cent of all
gross receipts and was to guarantee that
this amount would be SLATE, 900 per year.
The receivers represented that President
Valentine of the express company had re-
quested them to submit to the court the
desire of the Wells-Fargo Express Com
pany for q modification of the contract,
claiming his express company was losing
$250,000 per year under its terms, which
had been acceded to with an oral reserva-
ton that a readjustment should be had if
signed, that it's terms were unequal. Mr..
E. S. Pillsbury of San Francisco, attorney
for the Wells-Fargo Company, stated the
position of his company. Mr.. w. H. Ross
ington, for the Union Trust Company,
B. D. Lee, for the Mercantile Trust
Company and Judge J. D. Phil
lips, for the Central Trust Com
pany, on behalf of foreclosing bond
holders, protested against modification of
the contract as interfering with the legal
assets of the railroad company, to which
mortgage-holders had claim. Mr.. Ros-
sington contended that the receivers had
no jurisdiction over the contract.
Replied Judge Caldwell: "As to juris-
diction, this is an executary contract and
the receivers can ask to have it dis
affirmed" Judge Caldwell asserted the
authority of the court to modify the con-
tract, and he instructed the receivers to
investigate and make recommendation to
him.

Butler asked if Hawaii was willing the

Perkins of California said he happened
to be able to answer that question. He
was Just back from San Francisco. Before
leaving he was called on by the Minister
of Foreign Affairs of the Hawaiian Govern
ment, who urged the great desire of that
Government that the United States should
undertake the building of the cable, as
Hawaii did not want Great Britain to con-
troll it. Perkins said this was the latest
declaration as to the wishes of the Ha-
