but the market again demonstrated its
latent ability to resist pressure even under
cover OF dizziness. Fractional declines in

While the days trading represented little

the fact that the line of least resistance is

There is no considerable volume of stock

desire to extend the short account.
The inquiry for high-grade dividend-pay-

bonds at a remunerative rate are factors
pointing very clearly to the enduring quail
ties OF the present market. Manipulation
Is relied upon to a considerable degree, but
unlike recent artificial efforts, there is merit
behind much of the present energy.

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY,

which was antagonized by Senator Davis,
Chairman of the committee on foreign rela-
ton. and others, the principal portion of
the debate for the first two hours of the
session being upon this motion.
1t was contended, on the one hand, that
there was no reason for observing secrecy
in presenting the question because as was
alleged, there was no point involved which
had not been thoroughly canvassed before
and which might not be discussed before
the world at large On the other hand 4,
was held that the Chinese question which
would necessarily enter into the discussion
might prove to be somewhat delicate The
opinion was also expressed that the debat-
ing OF treaty in open Senate would have
the effect OF prolonging the flnal determi-
nation Indefinitely.
A majority of those favoriEg open doors
are opposed to ratification, but not all or
them are on the side of the main contro-
versy.

FOR SUFFERING CUBANS.
Citizens Of Cleveland Send a Contri-
button Of SLIGO.

Several additional contributions to the
fund for the relief Of the suffering Cubans

Mr. Kennedy exhibited a certified check
for $1,000. which he said he would present
Commissioner Ross with letter. This
letter stated that the money was intended
as reward for the detective investigat-
ing the alleged shortage. One hundred dol
lars of this. Mr.. Kennedy says, will go for
each certificate he can show and prove
is forgery. He will also. he says, pay
the District government SO per ton for

proof to be short. The offer will hold good

PRESENT 4 BOLD FRONT.
Opponents of the Civil Service Law
Claim n Majority.

The republican members of the House
opposed TO the civil service law presented
bold front when efforts were made today
by members OF the committee on rules to
learn when the pending civil service debate
could be brought to a close
The statement was made In eply to these
inquiries that the debate could be closed
At once IL definite assurances were given
by the committee on rules that the bill
proposing material modification of the civil
service law would be given a hearing and
a vote at a reasonably early day and GER
tainly before April l.
With this assurance given, the opponents
OF the law were ready to withdraw the
present contest against the supplies for the
CIVIL service commission and reserve their
contest for the law itself. Without this
assurance, II was asserted that any rule
to close the debate would he voted down
by over fOu majority. Thirty names are on

THE GOVERNOR INDIGNANT
Denounoes the Burning Alive Of Two
Indian Youths.
Says There Are Grave Doubts Of
Wires for Details.

The Indian office has received information
of the burning at the stake of two Indian
youths, members Of the Seminole tribe,
within the borders of the nation. These
youths were burned at the stake by an in
furiated mob from Oklahoma for the sup
posed murder of Mrs James Simmons.
Indian Commissioner Jones Immediately
telegraphed to Indian Agent Wisdom for
full particulars of the affair
Shortly after the telegram was sent off
Governor John F. Brown of the Seminole
nation, accompanied by Thomas McGeisey
and X. N. Kinkehe, visited the commits
sioner for the purpose of discussing the
pending treaty, and asked that he obtain
an audience with the Secretary of the In
terror for the purpose of discussing affairs
in the territory. N. B. Ainsworth and Wes-
ley Anderson from the Choctaw tribe also
Jones, both delegations visited the Interior
Department and had a conference with Sec
rotary Bliss.
Gov. Browns Statement.
Governor Brown was interviewed by re-
porter of The Star upon the burning of the
two Seminole youths. He said:
DAY before yesterday 1 left my nation
for visit to the capital for the purpose of
discussing certain affairs relating to the
treaty, portions of which have already been
ratified. Before left 1 heard of the muir
der of Mrs. Simmons. At that time the
entire nation was in a reign of terror.
Bands of outlaws were coming into the ma
ton and grabbing everybody they liked and
hauling them off.
''As governor of the tribe was not even
asked to make an investigation of the muir
der. I knew our people were suspected,
and if appealed to would gladly have rem
dered any assistance in my power. The
murderers of this defenseless woman
should have been sunmarily dealt with,
and their necks broken When l arrived
here last night l received a telegram from
Dr.. G; P. Linn. chief physician of the ma
ton. informing me of the outrage upon
two Of our people. 1 know both of these
boys well, and as far as l have any knowl-
edge, they were good, law-abidinS citizens
The burning Of these two boys was an out
rage on justice. The father of one of the
pointed to short, stout Indian, who sat
with head bowed.
IF these boys were guilty. they should
have been given a trial. and their guilt es-
tablished. But no one understands a mob
better than 1 do. They go wild for the
thirst of blood, and nothing else will sati-
ate them. There is grave doubt in my
mind that the murder was committed by
these boys. Our nation is a small one, only
twelve miles wide and people are crossing
it all the time. On the border, where Ok
lahoma JOINS there is a long line Of dog
gerel saloons patroniZed by the worst ee-
ment. 1t is my opinion that one of these
gangs is responsible for the murder, but, Of
course, that Is only surmise. Our nation
is the most peaceable Of all the Indian
tribes-the commissioner will corroborate
me in this-and the congressman who have
Investigated the subject give US good
name. l cannot tell what the result of
this outrage will be-

resignation of John Sherman as senator for
the term ending March 8, 1893, and of the
appointment OF Marcus A. Hanna to fill
the vacancy.
IRIS message said: Although the unex-
pfred senatorial term of Sherman ended
March 4. 1sEh. Senator Hanna was APP
pointed last March to serve only tih the
legislature met in aJnuary, 1895. as the
governors appointee under the law can
serve only until the legislature meets 1t
is therefore that OHIO has only one SEN
ator the past week and Will nave oniy one
till there is an election for the snort term
from January, 1s2s. till March, 1889.
Charges of Bribery.
There has been much more talk today
about bribery Mr.. f. C. Rathbone, for
rnerIy assistant postmaster general under
Harrison. and one of Hanna's managers,
has the stenographic notes of his secretary
who was concealed, and reports that he
heard enc of the opposition make an offer
Of $500 to one of the members.
Today the opposition say they have a
member who will. when his name is called
on the ballot tomorrow, announce that dou-
bIe that amount was offered him. Ana II
is further stated that one of the boltlng
republicans will produce the money in the
session. and with il piled on his desk, make
a sensational speech on the manner in
which he was approached, and on his rejec-
ton Of the proposition and Of the money,
which viii be sent back, and which it is
claimed was taken as part of preconcert-
ed plan.
The opposition clair that their case OF
bribery against one OF the Hanna workers
will be sprung in the open session of the
legislature tomorrow for the purpose OF
having an immediate investigation 1t Is
claimed that a certain emissary went to
Cincinnati over Sunday to see Representa-
tive Otis and that he carried $1,000 with
him. and that every word of the CONVERSE
ton between Otis and the emissary has
been taken down and will be submitted in
evidence.
There are many reports about the use of
money, but only two charges, one on each
side. are made specifically and with any
particulars as to the parties involved or
the amounts offered or the documentary
evidence. These charges have no apparent
effect on the result. but they are having
great effect in intensifying the feeling be-
tween the workers of the contending fac
tiCns.

LOOKS LIKE 4 DEADLOCK.
Mr. Hanna Needs Two More Votes to
Be Elected.

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 1O.-The out
look here now is for a deadlock in the
election for United States senator. Senator
Hanna lacks two votes of enough to elect,
and it seems that he has reached the
sticking point in the fight. No one can
point 10 a weak place in the opposition
where those necessary votes can be secured
The best that the Hanna mana gers can
hope for tomorrow as the case stands is
to prevent the opposition from electing
In this they are said to be receiving
aid from ex-senator Calvin S. Brice.
Men here are claiming that there are
fourteen democrats in the legislature who
will never vote for republican for United
States senator.
The efforts of the Hanna men are now
being concentrated the democratic ele-
ment Of the kurtz organization. They
evidently believe that the republican anti
Hanna men now holding out cannot be
moved for the present The next best
move is to pay for time There are nine
republicans still in the kurtZ combination.
They are Burke Bramley Mason, Rutan,
Jones. Scott, Otis, Lane and Droste. That
reduces the republican vote to seyenty-one
two less than majority
For Gerard and Kurtz.
1t is understood that the anti-Hanna
combine will vote for Jeptha Gerard of
Cincinnati. a free silver republican, for the
short term, and Kurtz for the long term.
The who'll. question now seems to turn
upon the ability of the anti-Hanna man
ayers to hold all the democrats in line.
They caucus tonight 1t now looks as
though they would hardly be able TO do
this If not, there will be a deadlock.
Cramer. q democratic representative, is ill
and may not be able to be in his seat when
the vote is taken tomorrow.
Senators who nave examined the prece-
dents say that the appointment of a SEN
ator by the governor. as in the case of
Senator Hanna, holds until the legislature
elects or -adjouIns. Congress having pro-
vided by law that legislature cannot
elect until after il has been in session two
weeks, would provide for a vacancy II
the apDointee of the governor held only
until the legislature met.
In the past senators appointed by the
governor have held their offices until the
legislatures have chosen their successors
In one case senator held through en-
tire deadlock in the legislature and tried
to retain his seat when the legislature adj
jouTned. but after the matter was dis
cussed in the Senate the seat was declared
vacant on the adjournment of the legisla-
ture.
