Mr.. Vest turned from this point to aim
more shafts of contempt and r!dicule at the
Secretary of Agriculture, who, he said,
acted as if he were also the Secretary of
War and Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..
Morton, be said, was monomaniac on the
subject OF gold. He saw nothing but god,
red god, and believed that everybody who
did not understand the question as he did
was lunatic and ought to be regarded
as a public enemy. He could not confine
himself within the limited functions of his
vegetable kingdom, but was filling the
country with attac upon those who
could not see the money question in the
same light with himself.
Mr.. Vest told how he had received gold
for silver certificates in an Austrian bank,
and declared that the silver money of the
United States was coed over the whole
world-as good as gold so long as the
country produced enough to feed its own
people and to expert such an enormous
amount of provisions for the rest of the
world. He concluded his speech by saying:
HIS LAST WORDS.
''Mr. President, the Secretary of A Agri-
culture attacks the distribution of seed,
but there is one seed which he is now
propagating and distributing most indus
triously through this country. The Senator
from Mississippi, Mr.. George. was grimIy
facetious over the name of some of the
botanical products which were offered for
sale to the Department. 1 take the liberty
of sayingsthat this Seed has been known
by botanists as the aurifer fenicnlum canis
Mortonl, in other words, Morton's golden
dog fennel. Under the shadow of this
noxious plant he reposes by day and almost
dreams by night, occa sionally seeking adj
ditional recreation by swinging his golden
ccnser filled with incense at the Executive
Mansion and shouting Holy, holy art thou,
oh Grover, king of kings and lord OF lords "
The resolution for the distribution OF the
appropriation bills among the various COM
mittees having charge of the subject mat
ter was then taken up. 1t was discussed
until 4::35, when the resolution went over
without action, and the Senate proceeded
to the consideration of executive business,

inst what was intended. Captain
Victor Backe was to be found in a
cottage in the rear.
He was found there yesterday
between daylight and dark making
preparations for his entire into the
American League, which institution
he was to join in an hour or two.
Captain Backe is one of the men
one meets who has a history, but
who declines to talk for the press.
He has an arm full of credentials,
certificates, passports, naturallza-
ton papers and what not which he
holds on to with tenacity born of
experience in countries and among
people who use as a motto CAL
ways cut your brothers cards, "
which is supposed to mean !" Do
not put your faith in anything
that can talk"
A reporter for the ADVERTISER
learned that the captains mission
to Hawaii was in connection with
the Chinese, connected, too, in a
way that might mean wars on sea
and land, because Captain Backe
is, or was, a follower of the sea,
and a recommendation he proudly
possesses reads:
According to the knowled dge !
have of Captain Victor Backe,
can recommend him as an honest
and industrious man with prac.
tical ability, who, am sure, viii

which he may offer his services.

The Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association realizing the excellent
work performed by Professor Koe-
BILE in his efforts at discovering
enemies to the various pests which
infict the foliage of the islands,
has signifed its intention to con-

fessor's salary until December 81,
1897.
This is entirely voluntary on the
part of the association and without
intimation on the part of the gov
ernment that such action would be
acceptable. This act assures the
services of Professor Koeble for
nearly two years longer. In that
time it is expected that he will
have found an enemy to the Japan

"You say, captain, that your
plans for giving instruction to the
Chinese have not matured. What
am to understand by that?"

matured. You probably inferred
that. What l said was that it was

fun, please bear that in mind! The
Chinese are loyal to the existing
Government, and if their knowl-
edge in this respect is ever to be
put to any practical use here l am

the Government. / would not
teach them else"
"Have you any commission from
the Chinese government regarding
this new enterprise?"
"None whateverl 1t IS private
matter entirely just as class In
the kindergarten would be and has
no political significance either here
or in China"
"While you were in the service
of the Chinese government did you
meet Ed Crick who was deported
from here2"
"Nol did not meet him. You
see my duties were on ship board
and l seldom went ashore at
Shanghai except when / needed a
little recreation. / did not even
hear of his being there"
"When did you reach Honolulu
, this last timer"
"I arrived here in December and
made my proposition to instruct
the Chinese a few weeks ago."
"When will you begin with your
class ?"

Monday"
"And how large class will you
have ?"
"Only twenty-five but as soon
as they realize what pleasant oc-
: cupation it is, | expect large in

From whom do you receive
your compensation ?"
"From the Chinese Society. It's
only small monthly salary,
you know-hardly worth mention
, ing now but [ am quite sure, as
the class grows, the salary will be
| increased"
With this Captain Backe picked
up his hat from the table, where it
r had been lying, as if intimating to
the reporter that the interview was
at an end. And it was.

In day or two more the suspense over the issue of national bonds will
 be over. The possibility Of tight
 money" and a gold furry which hang as a bugbear over financial operations may or may not materialize. Probably,
 however, there will be no trouble and
 the country will have spell of com-
 paratively plain sailing financially for a few months, and in consequence a lively spring business. Thanks to the barriers in the way, the free silver bill, passed by the Senate late Saturday af- ternoon, and by a vote unexpectedly large, amounts only to a flash in the
 pan, although the spectacle of body,
 which once indeed as a whole was
 an august and imposing assembly of able. brainy men, committing itself to
 the ridiculous and ruinous policy of the free coinage of silver, seignorage and all, in behalf of a wild theory, must have a nleasly look to European financiers.
 Europe will more than ever look Ito America for gold. The crowd in the
 Senate that pushes everything to one side the countrys welfare. it's imme-
 diate and pressing needs, in order to
 glorify silver and receive the plaudits
 of rich silver mine owners, will get no
 niche in the country's temple of fame,
 unless indeed they turn speedily from the error of their way. Our senators from
 Connecticut, two of the few strong, able and sound men in the Senate voted, of course, for sound money. Connecticut always has reason ito be proud of them. That there is trouble ahead for the democratic party, in fact a cloud ex- ceedingly large and ominous is appar- enyt. The New York Times of yesterday remarks on this point:
 The final vote on the bill was 42 to S5, a stronger majority than the sound
 money men had expected. They had hoped yesterday morning to keep it
 down to four. It is wretched piece of business in every way. But we are
 mot sorry that the bill has passed. It will serve--to open lthe eyes of the sen sible men in the Democratic Party to
 the grave danger that lies directly in front of them. A large majority of the Senators of that party openly sustain a. policy absolutely opposed by a majority
 Of the people of the United States, and
 as we believe, by a majority of the Democratic Party. If such action can not be completely repudiated and re- versed by the Democratic National Con- vention, the party will be certainly, hopelessly, and deservedly defeated next November

Dunraven's apology to the New York finding of the committee is recognized as fair, just, impartial and extremely courteous on both sides of the big pond; even the English press, with rare ex- captions, thus pronouncing it. Dunra- ven "sulks in his tent" He must feel exceedingly cheap just now, but he has still an opportunity to make the amende honorable. In fact, it has been said it is never too late to mend. The only consolation of importance he has is in the comments of the London Times The "Thunderer's" remarks, which are in striking contrast to the way in which the rest of the British papers, almost without exception, "can down. Dunra- ven, are notably absurd, although its dissent is only partial. The Times re- grets that the committee did not feel empowered Ito judge of the case on it's merits," and to deal with the real ma l. ter at issue" It would be exceedingly condescending and delightful if the Times would point out what other issue was at stake than the one which was so the Defender was fraudulently ballast ed and fraudulently frightened. The Times is the only paper that endeavors to let Dunraven down easy. The rest of the British papers treat the matter in the fairest spirit, as indeed they should after reading the committees report, which is couched in the most courteous language, free from filings" of any sort; and, in short, is a docu- ment calculated to disarm resentment from bitter adversary. The thanks of the country are due Messrs. Phelps, Morgan, Whitney, Mahan and Rives for their admirable report and it's notably courteous language.

A reason has been found beyond that of social elevation which makes first floor apartments superior to other quar- ters of the same house. A Hungarian professor has been giving his attention to the degrees of health enjoyed by the various classes of lodgers and gives the palm to the first and second floors, The cellars are the least wholesome for a dwelling place; then the third floors and then the ground floors. The ten ants of the first and second floors live longest. The advantages of the purer air of the upper stories is overbalanced by the exertion of climbing the stairs. It would appear that a fifth or sixth floor with lit would be, from sani- tary as from a practical point of view, nearest perfection.

EMERGING.

'"The coal roads" seem to be emerg- ing from their protracted financial de- precision, which was simply owing to their mining far more coal than the country required. and the consequent poor prices received for the black dia- mcnds. Over production compelled the companies to sell their coal at either a
 trifling proit'or at loss. The Reading and Lehigh Valley companies it is stat ed, lost money on every ton of coal they mined last year. With restricted production and small advance in prices all the companies will now mine coal at fair profit,if they maintain the agreement they have entered into and have ratified which they will prob ably do. The stumbling block in the way of effecting an agreemnt was the attitude of the Reading road, which being in the hands of receivers was the ''dog in the manager" Moreover, Read ing wanted an increased share in the apportionment, and has fought for it tooth and nail," and being in the hands of receiver it didn't matter much whether it paid dollar for dollar or not. Now, being reorganized, the case is changed, and the long looked for opportunity of readjusting the coal and carrying business on a paying basis came. A review of the situation is thus given: Until last week the coal presidents have been meeting for near ly two years and failing to agree. It was predicted that they would never agree until the Reading reorganization plan had been brought out and was as- sured of success. The prediction has been verified. The agreement would have been reached some weeks ago, only just as things were being put in shape for it the Venezuela thunderbolt knocked everything into confusion. The companies, as a result of their long warfare, have had two years of slim profits or actual loss. One of the strong est of them, the Lackawanna, earned over il per cent. on its stock in 1896; but in 1894 earnings dropped to 624 per cent, and last year to 5.17 per cent. The individual coal operators, who have been ground between the upper and neither millstone these last two years feel pretty bitter. They have re peatedly during this period proposed to the presidents of the companies just such a plan as the, latter have now adopted. The Reading receivers, it is claimed, could have settled the matter a year ago if they would have yielded the little they now have. Their un- yielding attitude has given all the com~ panies a years expensive object lesson, and one as useless as expensive. There may have ben some underlying motive, but it is not discoverable on the sur face. However, everything is now har- monious, and Reading securities have been booming. On one or two days they largely monopolized the trading"
