rency problem as between the ways and

sharply raised
Before the debate which lasted over an
hour, had been concluded the House was
plunged into debate on the currency prob
lem. Mr.. Walker, after the re-readin- Of
the resolution, asked with some heat what
was left to his committee.
Mr.. Dingley replied that all matters re-
lating 10 banking and currency under the
resolution would go to the banking and
currency committee
There seems to be a decided conllct Of
opinion to what matters refer to bank

former resolutions on the same subject but

Mr.. Johnson Und) wanted the Jurisdiction

Mr.. Dingley said the real question Of
Jurisdiction would depend on the interpre-
tation of the phrase national finances,

resolutions. Certainly by specific terms all
questions relating to banking and cur
rency would go to the banking and cur
rency committee. With this explanation
Mr.. johnson appe ared content for the time.

URGED BY THE PRESIDENT.
Liberal Appropriation for Repre-
SentntiOn at Paris ExDOsitiOn

SentNt1On at PurlS Exposition.
The President today submitted a message
to Congress in regard to the international
exposition to be held at Paris in 1900 1t is.
as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
The act of Congress approved July 10,
1887, entitled An act making appropr.a-
tions to supply deficiencies in the appro-
priations for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1897, and for prior years, and for other pur-
poses,' provided for the acceptance by the
government Of the United States of the in
vItatlon extended by the republic of France
TO participate in an interna donal exposition
to be he'd at Paris from April 10 to Novem-
Der ., 1900, and authorized the President 10
appoint SPECIAL commissioner with a
view to securing all auainable Information
necessary to a full aud complete Under
Standing by Congress in regard to the par
tcpatlon of this government in that expo
Sltion.
Maj. Moses P, Handy ofsChicago was ap-
pointed such special commissioner. and
new lnclose his report giving the details of
MS mission. 1t is d comprehensive ana Gear
pi iesentatlon of The situation. He recon-
nlends that an appropriation of $319,ouO be
gran ed, SO that d creuita Die exhibit on be-
MALT of the United States may be made.
The details of this report will show how
tins appropriation may be protitably eX-
pended.
of space than had been reserved, Maj.
Handy obtained the gratifying assurance
that the United States Will be placed on a
footing with the most favored nations ard
that IN the Installation of every important
department the United States will have d
location commensurate with the dignity
and importance of the country, and adjoin-
ing in every case countries Of the first
rank"
In view OF the magnitude and Importance
or the approaching exposition ana Of our
standing among the nations which VIII be
there represented, and in view of our in
S"ess in arts, sciences and manufactures, l
earnestly commend the report of Maj. Han
dy to your consideration and trust that a
HE raj appropriation may be made.
Moreover, the magnificent exhibit of the
French republic at Chicago in 1893.
which a million dollars were expended,
should be a strong incentive to the recIpro-
cal llberaHty on the part of the govern
rent Of the United States and suggest to
our citizens the necessity as well as the
propriety Of installing at the Paris exposi-
tlon an exhibit on a par with that of the
government and people of France at Chi
cago, in keeping with the scope and extent
of the preparations which are being made
by nearly all the important nations of the
earth for their proposed exhibits in that ex-
position.
l suggest that the subject be given timely
and favorable consideration.

In turn, the islands would be Of absolutely
no expense to this country.
Capital Waits on Stability,

All that remains necessary for the full
development of the multitude of almost in
exhaustible resources of Hawaii is the in
vestment of foreign capital. Millions of
American and English money stand ready
to be shipped to Hawaii if the investors
can only be assured that their interests
will be protected. The only invitation that
Is required for these investments is a guar
antee that a stable government will be es-
tablished. OF course, no financier will trust
his money In country where a revolution
or a seizure Is likely to occur at any llme
and until some form of government which
shall be permanent In its character Is es-
tablished capital will hold aloof from Ha-
waii. The moment, however, that tie
United States assumed control of the ISL
ands money would be sure to go there.
The mere fact that this government had
taken possession of the islands and that
Hawaii would be q part of the United
States would be sufficient to guarantee to
the moneyed interests of the world, who
are waiting to invest, that their rights and
manner in which the country would de-
velop, I predict, would be remarkable.

''The Hawaiian people are not particular

preston has got abroad that If the islands
are acquired 1t would necessarily follow
that the people would demand full repre-
sentation in Congress. The people would
not clamor for representative in the
House and two Senators. They would be
satisfied even if they had no representation
at all and would be content to place their
destiny in the hands of Congress. when
could legislate for them just as it does for
the people of the District of Columbia. "A
governor or board of commissioners to
serve as executive officers could be ap-
pointed by the President, their duties to be
defined by Congress. All the general laws
of the United States could apply to the ISL
ands and local ones especially adapted to
Hawaii could be enacted by Congress just
as laws are now put on the statute books
of the District. There would be no need of
elections in Hawaii and the people there
would be satisfied with such a form of
government as | have outlined

EFFECT OK THE DINGLEY LAW.
A Statement Prepared by Assistant
Secretary Howell.

Assistant Secretary Howell has prepared
| an Important oflicia! prognostcation of the
future workings of the Dingley tariff law
The stories which have gone out from
Washington of an increasing treasury
deficit have alarmed protective tariff asso-
Citations. Yesterday Secl etary Gage receiv-
ed a telegram from the American Pro-
tective Tariff Association of New York
asking about these reports of increasing
deficit, and whether it is true that the
Dingley law will not produce sufficient rev.
enue. The telegram was turned over to
Mr.. Howell, under whose direction is the
customs division. Mr.. Howell today mailed
the following answer:
In reply to your inquiry concerning the
excess of expenditures over receipts during
the present fiscal year, l have to advise you
that the actual receipts from customs dur
ing the four months that the act of 1897 has
been in operation, namely, August Septem
ber, October and November. amounted to
S54, ,474, ,322. AS is we'll known. the impor-
tations during the past four months have
not been normal, owing to the large impor
tations in anticipation Of the passage of
the present tariff.
Had the impOrtations been large dur
ing the period stated as they were for the
same period of 1892, the revenue which we
would have received under the rates of
the present law would amount to $lO2 TO-
60, or StS.2 .236, 2IS more than the actual re-
celptS. 1t may De urged. however, that this
is not fair comparison, as the year 1852
was a very prosperous year, and the i'm
pcrtations were accordingly larger than the
average.
Take, therefore, the year 1896, when bust
ness, and notably our foreign trade, was
suffering from depression. Had the i'm
portations during the past four months
been as large as they were during the same
four months of 1896 the receipts under the
present law would have amounted to ST.
O'2,2s3 or SD, 591 .!61 in excess of the actual
receipts. Taking the average of the impor-
tations for the same four months of 1892
and 1896 and applying the rates Of the act
OF 1897, the estimated receipts amount to
SG?,5I4,152 or an increase of So, ,O99, $50 over
the actual receipts.
The total excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts during the four months of 1897 above
named amounted to s35OS4 17723 1t will
be seen, therefore, that had the importa-
tons been as large during the past four
months as the average of the imDorta atjons
Tor the corresponding period of 1892 and
1896, the receipts would have been s15 f5a
IN excess of expenditures: and had the i'm
portations been as large as they were in
1sJ2 the receipts would have exceeded the
expenditures by So $50 254
Your attention is also called to the fact
that the collections, under the present law
show gradual increase each month as
