Hawaiian Company to List It on
Change in San Francisco.

HONOLULU, Feb. 21.-Advices from
San Francisco are that Edward POLITE
has not yet disposed of the Onomea
stock he purchased while here g. short
time ago. He is waiting until permits
sion is given by the government to the
company to reduce the par value of its
shares from $100 to 500 and increase the
number of shares from 10000 to $4,000
The application of the Onomea Sugar
Company to the government is for leave
to reissue it's stock at the par value Of
$50 share instead of 800. and to have
five times as many shares. The propo-
sition is not to increase the capital
stock, the owners believing it is cap
italized for about the right amount.
The proposition is simply TO decrease
the size of each share and to CORE
spondingly increase the number of the
shares. ssr,
1t is the intention to list Onomea on
the San Francisco Stock Exchange. -

BILLS RUSHED THROUGH.
Action of the Senate Initiated in the
House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The House
spent practically the entire time of the
seven hours session to-day passing the
public building bills favorably acted
upon by the committee of the whole ten
days ago. The opposition sought in vain
to consume time by rollcalls and other
filibustering tactics, but their numbers
were so slim that in no case could they
secure a rollcall. AT last their efforts to
impede the passage of the bills was aban-
doned and the bills were passed with
great rapidity. Sixty5one in all were
passed, carrying ss;Sooooo' @oO,OuI % %

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON. Feb 2S.-A frenzy of
bill-passing was on in the Senate to-
day The bills passed were principally
public building measures and at times
during the day and night the scenes
in the Senate were remarkable. Sena-
tors usually staid and dignifed, stick
lers for order and decorum in the cham
Der, clamored for consideration Of bills
providing for the erection of Govern
ment buildings in which they were in
terested.
Bills carrying an aggregate of eight
or ten millions of dollars were passed,
and many more that had not been
passed by both houses of Congress
were placed as amendments in the sun
dry civil appropriation bill. Finally.
at a late hour tonight, an amendment
to the sundry civil bill was adopted
appropriating nearly 100000 for the
preliminary work on the buildings
which had been authorized.
The sundry civil bill was passed at
Ills tonight, having been technically
under consideration throughout the
day and evening.
The House bill increasing the limit of
cost Of the public building at Stockton,
Cal, to S156, 900 was passed with an
amendment providing for the erection
of a public building at Los Angeles at
a cost of $3.50, 900, 100000 of which is
carried by the bill.
Morgan secured the adoption Of
resolution continuing the select COM
mittee on the Nicaragua canal and au-
thorizing it to hold sessions during the
recess of Congress.
A partial conference report on the
postoffice appropriation bill was agreed
to. The matter remaining in disagree
ment is the subject of a special appro-
priation for fast mail service for the
South and between Kansas City and
Newton, Kans. The Senate further in
sisted upon it's amendments and an
other conference was ordered.

and when Bonner landed on "Tommy's"
face the latter shouted:
Hes got some stuff on his gloves
that is binding me-
By this time Referee Charley White
was similarly affected, and he began
rubbing his eyes, at the same time
shouting to the men to go to their
corners.
Meanwhile West was jumping fran
tically in his corner with pain, and his
seconds got through the ropes to help
him. Bonner's seconds also clambered
through the ropes and began taking
the gloves off the big fellow.
The police took a hand in the game
at this moment. Captain Brown with
couple of sergeants and a dozen pat
rolmen got over the ropes. Referee
White called on the police to arrest
Bonner's seconds, but Jacks" hand
lers protested, and said Bonner's man
ager, Fred Miller. had handed the bot
tie of oil to them after the seventh
round and said it was a good thinS
to use.
When White heard this he made a
dash for the principal second. but the
police prevented him from striking the
fellow.
White then declared West the win
ner. There was a howl from Bonner's
hackers, but the bets went with the
referees decision, and those who laid
money on the big fellow felt that they
had been wronged
During all this time the spectators
were standing on the chairs and
benches clamoring to know what it was
all about. The master of ceremonies.
as soon as he could make himself
heard, explained the matter fully, and
when he announced the decision of the
referee there were loud and prolonged
cheers.
Just what prompted the handlers to
use the stuff was not made clear. but 1t
was evidently done to place West at a
disadvantage, as up to the close Of the
preceding round the New Yorker had
more than held his own.
Bonners seconds were Johnny" Cor
man, Billy Needham, Charley"
O'Brien and Jack" Neville. Bonner
was the favorite in the betting, 2 to
/ being freely laid on him.
One man who had box seat at the
ringside had an alteration with man
ager Tom O'Rourke and some blows
were struck, but the men were separ-
ated Immediately and the building was
soon vacated. No arrests were made.

WAS NOT PROVED
The Case Against Hanna
Falls Flat.
SENATE COMMITTEE REPORT
RECOMMENDS THAT NO ACTION
BE TAKEN.
Democratic Members Submit Minor
ity Report Asking That Fur
Their Investigation
Be Had.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
Chandler from the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections to-day presented to
the Senate the report of that commit
tee on the charges of bribery in the
election TO the Senate of NJ. "A. Hanna.
as made by the Ohio Senate. The re-
port states that no direct remonstrance
setting out that Mr. Hanna was elect
ed through bribery or ought to be ex-
PEELED from the Senate had been re-
ceived by the Senate. 1t also shows
that no one had appeared before the
committee and that no papers have
been received beyond the formal report
of the action of the State Senate.
Notwithstanding these failures the
committee has investigated the
charges. It finds that there is no
proof submitted either that % Mr..
Hanna was elected Senator through
bribery; or ~ that he had any agents
engaged in carrying on his canvass for
the Senate who were directly or i'm
pliedly authorized by him to resort to
corrupt methods or to any form of
wrong-doing; or 60 that he had any
personal knowledge of the facts of this
case. 1t may be said that there is no
evidence Which fairly tGnQS 10 prove
either of the foregoing three PROPOSE
tons
In view of these facts the Committee
on Privileges and Elections has reached
the conclusion that the United States
Senate is not called upon to take any
action in the premises"
A minority report signed by Senators
Turley, Pettus and Caffery was pre-
sented by Senator Turley This report
takes the position that further inves-
tigation should be made and enters
quite fully into the statement of the
case presented by the Ohio Senate.
The minority then says
We think the evidence to which we
have already referred, standing as it does
uncontradcted and unexplained, shows
that certain of Mr.. Hanna's managers
at Columbus not only knew the purpose
which Boyce had in view in Cincinnati,
but also that they aided. abetted and adj
vised him in carrying out these purposes,
and that this state of affairs existed while
tiers. This view is strengthened by two
facts. First, that many of the witnesses
whose testimony apparently would have
thrown much light upon the subject. I'M
der inquiry denied the jurisdiction of the
committee and refused to testify under
the advice of counsel. who stated that
they represented the interests of Rath-
bone and Dick and Senator Hanna; and
second that Mr. Hanna and his repre-
sentatives had subpenas sent them by
mail which seem 10 have reached them,
calling upon them TO appear before the
State Senate Committee, to which they
made no RESPONSE

FORT SMITH, Ark, Feb. 28.-Re-
ports from the coal mining district of
Indian Territory and Western Arkan-
sas indicate that the wholesale walkout
of the miners has begun and that the
biggest strike of recent years in the
