al Throne Of Hawaii.

San Francisco, Feb. e.-The
news has just been received from
Honolulu of the abdicshon Of
Queen Lilicukalani, in favor of the
Republic, (which she recognizes in
the document which she has caused
to be sent to President Dole. She
takes this action after a full and
free consultation with personal
friends and attorneys, who have
advised her that this is the best
course for her to pursue.
The Queen is still detained in
the executive building, but will be
released on promise to leave the
country forever. She has not
agreed to do this, but if she does
she will noubtless be exiled. Many
of the Queens advisers are also
under arrest.

AP0UT STATE PENSIONS.
VIII Take Nearly Two Month o
ITO Distribute Them to 3 en-
eficiaries.

Jlarion-Ledgeg, Feb. 4lh.
The Auditors Office began toe sy
the issuance Of pension warrants
to Confederate veterans.
The State appropriates $67 800
for this purpose and it is divided
among 2, 2,400 pensioners, the pro
rata share Of each being $2S.
To the individual this is a pal
try sum, but when considered as a
whole the State must be accredited
with great generosity.
No doubt even this small sum OF
s29 brings good cheer to hundreds
of homes, and assists the really in
digent in tiding over the hard
times. Twenty-eight dollars is
truly a small sum, but it is sntfi-
cient to pay taxes and buy flour.

or his widow to secure few pleas.

This distribution of these war.

DEBATE 0fEk1D5 RI
SPRINGER.
The Administration Bitterly Attacked
by swanson Of Virginio---Tsl Reed
Advocates H!s. .8ill

Washington, B. c., Fob. s.
The administrators financial bill
is now before the House and was
discussed at considerable length
today by several mcmbers. Mr..
Springer made the opening speech
and again demonstrated to the
House his familiarity with the
subject and the great fund Of in
formation always at his disposal.
Mr.. Springer pleaded sloqueatly
for a dispassionats and noapsrtion
consideration Of the measure, and
appealed for a display Of patriot
ism instead Of partisanship, when
members came to vote upen it.
The finance and currency ques-
tisns have bsen discussed SO much
however, during the past @oath or
six week. that it is difficult for
members who have discussed Ia o
questisa heretofore to say any
thing new or'original regarding it q.
Mr.. Swanson Of Virginia, yeung
member, made an eloquent and
forceful speech in opposition as did
later in the day Jerry Simpson Of
Kansas, and Late Peace of Colo
rado.
Mr.. Reed Of Asias, msde a 90
minute speech, the most moderate,
perhaps he ever delivered in the
House. 1t was free from jibas,
sarcasm and the usual rsillsry that
the ex-Speaksr lndulgas in at the
expense of his political opponents,
1t is plain that Mr. Reed is not
anxious for an extra session and
that he would like to have some
thing done at this time 10 remove
the necessity for the President
calling the Republicans together
early next summer. Mr.. Reed 6
proposition was fog short term,
low-interest bond to recruit the
gold reserve and 9 Treasury Ger.
tifcate bearing a moderate amount
of interest to meet q d9licit in tht
revenue when necessary. Mr.
Reed thought that this would GOV
er The emergency and was sulfi
GENTLY colorless to suit al
factions in the House except th'
thick and thin free coinage men.
AS far as the Republic CORES
pondent can learn, however, Mr
Reeds proposition is almost solid
ly rejected on the Democratic sid'
and meets with but little suppor
on the Republican side.
Reeds forte is not that OF a con
structive statesman, and he is b,
no means fnancier. When h
emcrges from the rough and tum
ble of a party set-to, he is out
his cloment. 1t is evident from
the general tenor of the Hous
opinions that the administration
bill is in a prscarious condition
SO to speak. 1t is barely possibl
that it may pass the House, as tn
chances at this time are against it
1t will require an almost solid Re
publican vote joined with tn
friends of the administration O.
the Democratic side to make
majority. No such complete un
ion seems probable at this time.
