WAR OF WORDS ON PROSPERITY

Washington, Feb. "A communication was received by the senate from the sec | retary of war today presenting the urgent
 necessity for immediate action to control
 the disorderly clements that are assembling l in Alaska.
 l Mr. Chandler presented memorial which
 called to the attention of the senate of one
 of the most thrilling events of the civil
 war. The memorial was prepared in 1874 l by the late Admiral Worden, who, as a
 lieutenant in the navy, commanded the | Monitor in the historic fight in Hampton
 Roads between that vessel and the iron
 clad Merrimac. MT. Chandler said that | Admiral Worden conceived the idea that it | would be proper for the government of the l United States to pay to the officers and | crew of the Monitor the sum of $200 each in the nature of prize money, but after having prepared the memorial concluded not to present 1t to congress lest his mo- tives might be misconstrued. Mir Chandler said that he now took occasion to present the memorial himself and he hoped that congress might see its way clear in view of the wonderful victory achieved by Lieu l tenant Worden to do something substantial for the survivig members of his family who | are not in good financial circumstances. Deserved Special Consideration | MT Chandler was of the opinion that this was not case simply for pension | the extraordinary services rendered by the Monitors commander and crew rendering 1t deserving of special consideration. He asked that the memorial be referred to the naval affairs committee, his idea being he said that the committee and the secre- tary of the navy could evolve some plan whereby suitable recognition by the gov errynent could be made of the great ser ] vices rendered this country by Admiral | Worden.
 A house bill authorizing the secretary | of the treasury either to purchase or have constructed a suitable revenue cutter for
 use on the Yukon river, Alaska, at a cost
 not to exceed $4O,OOO, was passed. 1 MT. Chandler secured the adoption of a resolution directing the interstate commerce | commission to transmit to the senate
 much of the testimony taken by the com mission in the proceedings known the New York Produce Exchange case, and the grain investigation eases of 1897 relates to the Joint Traffic association agreement, and any action hereunder in the pooling of traffic or otherwise.
 Hawaiian Resolution MT. Morgan of Alabama called attention to the resolution introduced few days ago by MT. White of California concerning this countrys attitude toward Hawaii.
 That the republic of Hawaii, established 
 ton, is a rightful government and has been and is still recognized as such by the United States of America and by other great powers, without any question by any nation, is the rightful and sovereign inde- pendence; and said constitution is the true and recognized authority that fixes the measure and the distribution of the rights and powers of government in that repub- tsc. while said constitution remains in Gorae.
 .efhat in conformity with the existing | et she present constitution of the republic | Of Hawaii, and so long as the same is in | force the powers of government reside in | and are to be exercised by the incumbents | of the departments, tribunals and offices, l created by said constitution and filled in 1 pursuance of law and the lawful electors under said constitution who qualify as such by taking the oath of allegiance pre- | scribed therein, are entitled to share in the | goevrnment of Hawaii according to the l rights secured to them in said constitution | and to the extent and in the manner there-
 in provided, so long as the same is in | force.
 Signifies Its Consent
 And said government of the republic
 of Hawaii, having. in due form, signifed | its consent in the manner provided in its
 constitution that the Hawaiian Islands, with all the territory appurtenant thereto,
 over which said government now claims 10 exercise sovereign jurisdiction shall be | annexed to and become a part of the ter ritory of the United States of America,
 and shall be subject to the national power and sovereign Jurisdiction thereof. "It is hereby enacted and declared that
 said cession is accepted. ratified and con-
 frmed and that said Hawaiian Islands are
 annexed as part of the territory of the
 United States of America, and are subject
 to the sovereign dominion thereof"
 MT. Davis, Gep. Minn.), chairman of the
 committee on foreign relations moved that
 the resolution of Mr. White and the amend
 ment thereto proposed by Mr. Morgan, be | referred to the foreign relations commit
 tee, and after brief colloquy between MT. White and MT. Morgan the resolution and
 amendment were so referred.
 1 On motion of MT. Davis the senate then went into executive session, and at p. m.
