HIT ON HAWAII.
House Chairman of Foreign Relations
Voices An Opinion.

Chicago. Jan. 29-The Posts Wash
ington correspondent sends the follow
ing exclusive interview with Chairman
Hit of the house committee on for
eign relations:
1.-The gist, in my opinion, of the whole
Hawaiian situation lies in the strate-
getic situation OF the little group of is
lands as a basis of operations for NOV
ina on our west coast. There is a strong
resemblance in this case to the Ber-
mudas. except that the Bermudas are
not so commanding. That is, there are
other islands to the south OF them
which would, in case of conflict, TO some
extent. take their place with European
powers. even which possessed the Ber-
Inudas. In the possession of the Hawai-
ian Islands we would have what might
be considered safety for our western
coast against naval powers, except
Great Britain, which could still get
coal for her ships from the British
Columbian ports, and use that base Tor
naval operations.
-9The subordinate features of the
question much discussed, the question
of sugar, the character OF the popula-
ton the mode of government, etc, are
obligations and solutions OF objections
that take up a gOod deal of attention,
but / think are of minor Importance.
manently held half way. We have now
nv treaty certain exclusive rights, but
that is a terminal treaty, and the
Hawaiian republic is theoretically an
independent nation. but is wholly in
capable of defending itself and preserv-
ing its independence the moment that
we come into conflict. and any naval
power presenting itself win take pos
session. Once it was possessed by a
power like Japan, England or Germany,
it would be the story of the Bermudas
over again. only a stronger and more
effective Bermuda on our western
coast. With a coaling station 1000 miles
out we double the time and length of
effective cruises of warships going out
from San Francisco, and proportionate-
" increase the effective result of the
expenditure of setting up a ship. Hav-
ing no neighboring islands, it leaves the
Immense eXpanse of the northern Pa
cidc utterly inhOspitable to our oppo-
nent if we hold il. It is thus of great
value as a base for defense or for an
enemy to operate against US.
Il have thought for many years that
these islands were Of essential impOr-
lance to US. The impression that l got
when in the state department in 1881
remains with me. When the question of
extending the reciprocity treaty was
then under consideration 1 was i'm
pressed with these facts. The sugar
question and its branches is a matter
of competing interests. Once incorpo-
rated they all go into the hopper to-
esether as completely as are today the
beet root Of Nebraska and the cane of
Totlisiaua"

A SWORN STATEMENT.

When my little daughter, May, was eigh-

out in one solid mass of bleeding sores, and
one of her ears was so affected, that the doc
tor thought at one time that IL would slough
off. Her suffering was intense, getting no
rest at all, unless under the influence of OpI-
ates. The physician tried every known rem
edy, but seemed TO be b3ffied, and instead of
getting better, her head, face, and ear seemed
TO get worse all the time. Distracted with
her condition, did not know what 70 do,
until one day was advised TO try CUTICURA
REMEDIES. l purchased the CUTICURA RE

emily used the remedies.

LAW AND THE CLOCK.
Validity of Legislation After Day Set
For Adjournment.

Atlanta, Ca. Jan 29.-Attorneys rep
resenting 25 of the strongest banking
institutions in Georgia have filed suit
attacking the constitutionality of the
Borner act, which requires the state
treasurer to examine private banks,
asking the courts to restrain the treas
urer from making such examination.
The Borner act, together with the
convict reform bill and appropriation
bills, was passed during the closing
hours of the legislative session, and the
day was prolonged by turning the
hands of the clock back and so prOlOng-
ing the day within which the law re-
quireS legislation to be completed.
The petition of the bankers sets up
that the hour for final adjournment of
the legislature had actually passed be-
fore the act complained of had become
a completed law, and the ancient fiction
so frequently practiced by legislative
bodies could not give effect to the new
law.
If this contention is sustained, a great
mass of important legislation, including
the appropriations and convict reform
bills will be invalidated.

washington, Jan. 29.-The Republican
senators who voted in opposition 10
their party on the Teller bond resolu-
ton will probably seek an opportunity
next week to explain their position at
length, and in doing so they will seek
to have the further consideration OF
the Hawaiian treaty postponed. Very
few of them made speeches While the
resolution was before the senate, Dut
some of them now feel that there was
an effort made to put them in faise
position, and that they owe it to them
selves to have their position thorough
ly understood.
AGAINST GAGE.
While these senators are all favor
able to the treaty, some of them speak
quite indifferently as TO its present fate,
and il is even intimated that they
would like to hold ii up temporarily in
order to emphasize their antagonlsm to
Secretary Cages financial position, at
the expense of the treaty. This, 1t is
argued, would serve to make it clear
TO the country where they stand. One
OF the leaders of this coterie said to-
day:
DELAY OF A MONTH.
There is no intention even on the
part of the WarmeSt TRENDS OF the
treaty tc vote on it for a month yet,
and we see no reason for pressing the
debate upon il. We shall for the pres
ent claim all the time of the senate not
devoted to the appropriation bill
He said that resolution would be in
troduced and this made the basis Of

HIGH WATER MARK.
Chicago, Jan. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
F'ifty-seven votes is said to be the
high-water mark of the Hawaiian
strength in the senate. The opponents
of annexation say the treaty will re-
ceive only between As and 80 votes. If
Senator Morrill, adheres to his inten-
ton. the voting strength will be IS, of
which two-thirds would be SO votes. or
one less than the number required if
he voted. The vote today on annexa-
ton admittedly would be adverse. but
as the Republicans have lined up their
strength, il is expected that German
and Teller viii solidify the waveFing
Democrats and Silver Republicans On
these two senators the fate of the
treaty is said to rest. It is the opinion
In the senate on both sides that Ha-
waii is gaining rather than losing by
the delay in coming to a vote.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW
STATEMENT OF THE NEW YORK
ASSOCIATED BANKS.
Money Still Flowing Heavily to Goth
ham - Condition Favors Easy
Terms For Cash.

New York, Jan. 29.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following
changes:
Surplus reserve, increase, s4,oS4, 250;
loans, increase, $685., 500; specie, in
crease, 81, AS, 200; legal tender, increase,
So, S91, 800; deposits, increase, SOL, 400;
circulation, decrease, $124, 800.
The banks now hold 5,609, $50 in ex-
cess of the requirements of the % per
cent rule.
The Financier says: The statement
of the associated banks for the week
ending Jan. 20, while it does not show
the enormous increases of the previous
week indicates that money is still
flowing heavily to this center. The gain
in cash for the week was $685., 100, of
which nearly $500, 900 was specie. The
latter represents western receipts to a
large extent, following Australian re-
mittances.
WHAT INCREASE REFLECTS.
The increase in deposits, amounting
to SS,0l1, 400, tied up over 100000 Of
the cash received, so that the surplus
reserve is only S4,334, $50 heavier than
one week ago. There is no doubt that
the expansion of S2,5e5,00 in loans re-
fleets legitimate mercantile and stock
ial operations and technical manipula-
lions, such as have been in evidence
since the Union Pacific sale. The loan
increase is scattered through a larger
list of banks than usual. 1t is worthy
of note that the bank which has been
most prominent in financing the Union
Pacific deal reduces its loans $4,000, 600
following the retirement of overdue
currency skies held by the treasury on
its account against deposits. All the
special depository banks paid to the
treasury 10 per cent of their holdings
last week: otherwise the gain in cash
wound have been heavier. AS it is,
the depositors of the banks doing the
largest business with interior banks,
show the highest percentage of gains.
EASIER MONEY.
The future, in view of the continued
piling up of idle money in New York,
appears TO favor easier money. It
should not be forgotten, however, that
considerable of the surplus cash in
banks belongs to the treasury and is
subject to its withdrawal. The COM
mercial demands are also heavier, and
whereas the loans of the banks during
January, 1897, remained stationary
while the surplus reserve increased $685.
GOO, the loans in the same period
this year have expanded SIS, 1000 600,
while the excess cash shows a gain of
$40, 1000 600. Thus, while the supply is
in excess of demand, the latter is i'm
measurably more pronounced than at
the beginning of last year. 1t is diff
dcult to see, however, where the hope
OF much firmer money markets this
season finds foundation.
If the rates go beyond a defined
line, gold imports must follow. The
exchange situation is now under strong
control, but some interesting develop
ments in the way of unreasonable in
ternational transformers might be
possible.

What Canada Thinks of the Alaska
Bill Just Passed.

Toronto. Ont, March THE Ottawa
correspondent of the Globe (the Lib

ring TO the passage of the Alaskan
homestead law by the United States,
and the concessions to be asked from
Canada in return for the privilege of
bonding goods at Fort Wrangel, says:
THE answer of our government to
the, remarkable legislation passed by
the senate at Washington on Friday,
should it receive the presidents sane
ton, will be courteous reminder that
we intend to navigate the Stickeen IN
der the. treaty rights which give us
this privilege forever.
There is not a petty South American
state that would allow itself to be held
up in this manner, and there is a good
deal of scornful amusement among
members of parliament over the de-
mands of the United States senate.
1T will be probably intimated to the
authorities at Washington as plainly
as diplomatic words can intimate it,
that Canada will shut up the Yukon
as tight as a bottle, turn back all the
American miners and keep the gold
fields as they are, undeveloped, until
