SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Thirty-TwO Private Pension Bills
Passed-The Bank Measure.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-After the pas
sage of a large number of private pension
bills and listening to a carefully prepared
speech on the advantages of Republican
tariff legislation by Mr. Pritchard, the Sen
ate to-day resumed consideration of the in
ternational American bank bill. An amend
mert, was accepted by the committee and
adopted extending the privileges of the
measure to all citizens of the United States
instead of restricting them to those men
toned in the bill. When the Senate adj
journed consideration of the bill had not
been concluded.
During consideration of the pension calen-
dar thirty-two bills were passed in thirty
three minutes. A majority of the bills pro-
vide for increase of pensions already re-
ceived. Among those passed was one in
creasing the pension of Mrs. Margaret Love
Skerrett. widow of Rear Admiral Skerrett,
from $50 to $50 a month.
Mr.. Cocl6rell reported from the military
affairs committee a bill to promote the adj
mnistratioH of justice in the army and
asked for it's immediate consideration. The
bill provides for the administration of JUS
tice by summary court. 1t was passed.
Among other bills passed were: To amend
Section 549S of the Revised Statutes, and
to authorize the appointment of military
Storekeeper in the army.

FEATURES OF THE SPEECHES
HENRY U. JOHNSON APPLAUDED FOR
HIS FRUITLESS PROTEST..
Sarcasm Hurled Mt the Indianian by
MIR. DOlIiVer-PrOvisiOns of Res
OIutiOns as Adopted.

WASHINGTON June 15.-By a vote of 200
to 81 the House of Representatives this aft
ernoon adopted the NewIands resolutions
providing for the annexation of Hawaii.
The debate, which was continued without
interruption since Saturday, has been one
of the most notable of this Congress, the
proposed annexation being considered of
great commercial and strategic Importance
by its advocates, and being looked upon by
it's opponents as involving a radical de-
parture from the long established policy of
the country, and likely to be followed by
the Inauguration of a pronounced policy of
colonization, the abandonment of the Mon
roe doctrine and participating in interna-
tional wrangles. More than half a hundred
members participated in the debate.
From a party standpoint the result was
| awaited with the keenest interest. The Re-
publicans presented practically unanimous
support to the resolutions, but three Repub-
ican members voting in opposition. In the
Democratic ranks the division upon the
| question was more marked eighteen Demo-
cratic members voting for annexation. The
| vote in support Of the resolutions to-day
| was made up of 179 Republicans, IS Demo-
Gratis, Populists and fusonists; the vote
| against annexation comprised Y Democrats,
3 Republicans, Populists and fusionists.
To-day's session began at 10 o'clock and
debate continued seven hours. Notable
| speeches made by Messrs, Berry
| Oem.. Ky.), w. A. Smith Rep., Mlch.) and
| Hepburn (Rep., la for, and by Messrs.
Johnson Rep., Ind and Williams Dem.,
| Miss) against the pending measure. Few
members were upon the floor until late in
| the afternoon and the galleries had few oc-
cupants. AS the hour for voting drew near,
however, members began taking their
places and there were few more than a
score of absentees when the first roll call
on the passage of the resolutions was
.cheered on the floor and applauded general
ly by the spectators.
The resolutions adopted to-day in a pre-
amble relate the offer of the Hawaiian re-
public to cede all of its sovereignty and abb
solute title to the government and crown
lands, and then by resolution accepts the
| cession and declares the islands annexed.
| The resolutions provide for commission
| of five, at least two of whom shall be resi-
| dent Hawaiians, to recommend to Congress
| such legislation as they may deem advisa-
| BILE. The public debt of Hawaii, not to ex-
| coed $4O00,0O0, is assumed Chinese immigra-
ton is prohibited all treaties with other
| powers are declared NULL and it is provided
that, until Congress shall provide for the
government of the islands, all civil, judicial
and military powers now exercised by the
| officers of the existing government shall be
| exercised in such manner as the President
| shall direct, and he is given power to ap-
| point persons to put in effect provisional
| government for the islands

Nobody in Authority Has Asked For
eigners to Subscribe.

LONDON, June 15.-The st. James Ga
zette, this afternoon. in its financial article
says: THE city was surprised at the an
nouncement that Messrs Seligman were to
receive applications for subscriptions to the
United States war loan and it also caused
surprise to learn that an appeal is being
made at this moment in Paris, Berlin and
other continental centers, in identical terms
to the appeal made in London. 1t was Sc
verely questioned in certain quarters
whether it was necessary to issue the loan
on the continent. particularly in France
where it was thought the pro-Spanish feel
ing was so strong as TO make the issue ILL
advised. 1t is opined by competent f1nanciers
that had the issue been properly placed be-
fore the British investors there would have
been no necessity to seek assistance on the
continent This action on the part of the
United States is not liked in the city,
though sentiment would not have been al
lowed to enter into the financial aspects
had not the United States government pub
lcy announced that the loan was a popular
issue, appealing to the sympathies of the
Anglo-Saxon race. There is no doubt what
ever that the issue will be oversubscribed
in the United States itself. but certain
portion is reserved for European applica-
tons although the exact amount is not
known to Messrs. Seligman.
The Westminster Gazette remarks: The
loan is no great catch. The unsatisfactory
feature is its possible redemption in silver.
We think ii can be advantageously left to
America where a large oversubscription is
assured"

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.
Differences of the Two Houses
Patched Up by a Compromises.

Differences of the Two Houses
Patched Up by a Compromise.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The conferees
of the two houses of Congress reached an
agreement to-day on the bankruptcy bill.
The measure as agreed upon is compro-
mise between the respective positions of
the Senate and the House. All the House
provisions in regard to the administration
OF the law and judicial procedure under
it were retained The principal changes
made were in the provisions relating to in
voluntary bankruptcy, the grounds on
which a discharge in bankruptcy may be
denied and to the matter of punishment for
offenses under the proposed law. The House
bill carried a multitude of provisions under
which a man could be thrown into bank
ruptcy contrary to his will. These were
enumerated under eight heads The con-
ference reduced the headings to five and
of these five two provide practically for
voluntary bankruptcy. The first three are
as follows:
property with intent to defraud.
| Second-Where he has disposed of his
property to one or more creditors with in
tent to give preference to them.
Third-Where he has given a preference
through legal proceedings.
The other two grounus which it is claimed
by the Senate conferees are practically vol
untary proceedings, are the following:
Fourth-Where a man has made a volun-
tary assignment for the benefit of his cred
ttorS generally.
Fifth-Where man admits in writing
that he is bankrupt.
1t is specifically provided that no one can
be thrown into bankruptcy unless he is in
solvent, and the bill agreed upon carries
new definition of insolvency. Under the
common law a man is insolvent when he
cannot pay his debts when they fall due ;
under this bill he is to be regarded as in
solvent only when his property under fair
valuation is insufficient to pay his debts.
Offenses under the proposed law are limited
to two in number. The first of these is in
cases where property is concealed from the
trustee after bankruptcy proceedings have
been begun and the second covers cases of
perjury in the proceedings. Discharges
under the agreement are to be denied only
| in two cases, the first being cases in which
| one of the offenSeS enumerated has been
| committed and the second those in which it
| is shown that fraudulent books have been
| kept. The imprisonment for either of the
offenses is limited to two years.
The conferees were: On the part of the
| Senate, Messrs. Hoar. Nelson and Lindsay,
and on the part of the House, Messrs. Hen
| derson, Ray and Terry. Mr.. Terry refused
| to sign the report because he objected to
any involuntary provision whatever in the
| bill.

DEBATE AND VOTE.
Features of the Closing Speeches-Mi-
nOrity Resolutions Rejected.

nOr1ty Resolutions Rejected.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-At the opening
of the session this morning the House
passed the Senate bills granting American
register to the ships Specialist and Unionist
Mr.. Fitzgerald spoke against the New
lands resolutions. In the course of his
speech he emphasized the failure of the
majority of Hawaiians to express their de-
sire relative to annexation.
Supporting the resolution, Mr. Berry
(Dem., Ky.) devoted much of his time to
show that annexation was in line with
Democratic policy. He reviewed the terri
torial additions to the original States to
show that practically all had been made by
Democrats. He quoted Jefferson. Pierce,
Marcy, Buchanan. Bayard and other Demo-
Gratis to support his contention that Demo-
cratic history warranted present Democratic
support of annexation. Mr.. Berry depressed
to speak of the Philippines situation, and
while not advocating the retention of the
islands, he declared the United States should
brook no interference on the part of Ger
many, as was intimated as being likely
and said If Germany should attempt to in
fringe any rights belonging to America, then
this country, with 1853 ships in commission
and 75000,O00 people, would be ready to re-
spond to the demands for reSenting any in
reference. Mr.. Berrys remarks in this con-
nection were applauded generally. Proceed
ing he advocated the early construction of
the Nicaragua canal and added the import
ance of its control an additional argu-
ment for annexation. During his speech he
referred to the Democratic caucus action
and declared his independence of any at
tempt to control his action upon the pending
question. This brought several protests
from Democrats denying that any such at
tempt had been made.
IMMORAL DANCES.
Another incident out of the ordinary oc-
CURED when, in replying to remark of Mr..
Clark Dem, MOI relative to the national
immoral dance of Hawaii and statesmen
who have seen it, Mr.. Berry said he had
witnessed the dance while in Hawaii and
more immoral performances could be seen
nightly in Washington theaters.
Later when Mr.. Rhea Dem., Ky) was
speaking upon the immortality of the Ha-
waiians, Mr.. Berry interrupted to assert
vigorously: There is more immortality in
this city south Of Pennsylvania than in all
Honolulu"
Were / an American representative, re-
sponded Mr. Rhea, land knew that to be
true / would blush to say it.
Mr.. Rhea argued chiefly the sin, idolatry
and disease in Hawaii in opposition to the
pending resolutions.
While Mr.. Meyer Dem. La was speak
ing in opposition to the resolution he was
interrupted by Mr.. SulZer, who asserted the
agent of the Sugar Trust was at the Cap
itol working against annexation.

THE CURRENCY BILL.
Synopsis of the Measure That May Be
Passed by the House.


Passed by the House.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The commit
tee canvassng the outlook for passing the
general banking and currency bill in the
House announced to-day that about 40
members had signed the canvass and that
all the members in New England, save Mas
sachusetts and Maine delegations, were
solid for it. The bill was reported to the
House by the committee on banking and
currency to-day. The features of the bill
already have been published. The report
made by the committee is mainly the work
of Representative McCleary, of Minnesota,
chairman of the special subcommittee that
framed the bill. 1t summarizes the ultimate
operation of the bill, as follows
1.-The bill looks ultimately to the elimina-
ton of government paper money from cir
culation. With the withdrawal of bonded
security, Also the ultimate currency of the
country will consist of gold and silver coin
of full legal-tender power and of notes is
sued by the banks under the provisions OF
the proposed bill The growth in the wealth
of the country and its ability to retain at
home large portion ton Of the great eat gold
to swell the gold resources of the country
until gold coin is likely to become com
mon factor in daily exchanges among the
people. This condition of affairs will oper-
ate at once to simplify and strengthen the
holders of bank notes. The banks, will be
required, when reserve notes and legal
tender notes have alike disappeared, to full
fill all requirements of law calling for law
full money by keeping gold and silver coin,
and the present quantity of silver is likely
to be so completely absorbed for retail ex-
changes that the bank reserves will consist
almost entirely Of gold. This being the
case, it is obvious that the issue of a bank
ing currency based purely upon assets
without either bonds or reserve notes. Will
involve no risk of undue imitation or Of loss
to the note holder.
1.-The purpose of this bill is the strength
ening of the public credit, the relief of the
United States treasury and the amendment
of the laws relating to national banking
associations. The bill is framed to accom-
plish the first two of these results without
contracting the currency without the issue
of Understanding bonds and without cost
to the treasury of the United States. The
protection of the treasury from demands
for gold and from the necessity for issuing
bonds is accomplished by imposing upon the
national banks the current redemption or
the government notes. The amendment or
the national banking laws is intended to
afford test in a conservative and limited
manner, of the system of basing note issues
upon the commercial business of the coun-
try with the purpose of affording in the
near future a sufficient supply of currency
in every part of the country at all seasons
of the year extending credit accommoda-
tions and thereby reducing the rate of in
tereSt to borrowers.

WASHINGTON, June ia New York

the bond issue at par, or so much of the

CARDS the spirit shown in the proposition
as particularly praiseworthy. 1t is set forth
in a preamble to the proposition and says:

ends, syndicate should be formed who

such syndicate to the extent of the amounts
set against our names.

to interfere in any way with the popular
character of the loan desired by Con-
gress and the administration; their only de-
sire is that, without any delay whatever
the government should be assured Of the
full amount asked for.
