Thirty-nine Deaths at Honolulu, Ono q
White Woman of Good Glass.
VICTORIA, B. O., Jan. 27.-The steam
er Miowera, which arrived during the
day from Australia, reports that 80
deaths have thus far occurred at Homo
lulu from bubonic plague. One white
woman was among the victims. The
Miowera brought neither mail nor pas
sengers from Honolulu, off which port
she anchored for short time. The
Honolulu harbor officials reported inter-
island trade paralyzed. Hilo has SO ef-
fectually barricaded its doors against
the introduction Of the disease that it's
protective force has orders to shoot any
one attempting to dock steamers from
Honolulu. Immigrant steamers con-
tinue to arrive at Honolulu from Japan
and the quarantine accommodations are
taxed to more than their capacity. In
Honolulu panic prevails and the danger
is vastly intensified by the popular
terror, =

GOES BACK TO UTAH.

Final Act IL the Unseating of Congress
msn-Elect Roberts.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The case Of
Brigham H. Roberts, the Mormon rep
sesentative-elect from Utah, which has
occupied SO, muchof the time Of the
house since the assembling Of congress,
was decided during the day by the adop-
ton Of resolution to exclude him by
vote of 1858 to so. The exact language
Of the resolution was as follows:
"That from the facts and conditions
of the case, Brigham Fl. Roberts, repre-
sentative-elect from the state Of Utah,
ought not to hold seat in the house of
representatives and the seat to which
he was elected is hereby declared va
can't
The Vote on the Two Reports.
The amendment to expel Roberts after
seating him was ruled out on point Of
order and the house voted upon the res
olutions Of the minority and majority Of
the committee. The former-to seat
and then expel Mr.. Roberts-was de-
feated, 81 to 244. An analysis Of this
vote shows that ITO Republicans, 70
Democrats and Populists voted against
it, and II Democrats, Republicans,
Populists and Silver Republicans for
it. The majority resolutions-to ex-
clude Mr.. Roberts and declare the seat
vacant-were adopted, 269 to so. The
affirmative vote was cast by 1853 Repub-
icans, SO Democrats, 4 Populists, and
the negative vote by Al Democrats, 2
Silver Republicans, Populist.
There were over score OF speeches
during the day and the closing speeches
on each side We're peaceable.
Statement Justifying His Course.
MIR. Lanham of Texas closed for the
majority and Mr.. De Almond of Mis-
souri, for the minority Mr.. Roberts
was present throughout the day and left
the hall after the result of the last vote
had been announced. As he did so he
gave out q statement justifying his re-
tention of his plural wives on the ground
that his moral obligations were more
binding upon his conscience than the
obedience to statutory law and saying
there was little excuse for the extraordi-
nary efforts to crush a system already
abandoned and practically dead. He
said he was martyr to ''spasm of
prejudice" He would not, he said, at
tempt to run for congress again, al
though he would go back home with a
light heart, confident of the future.

SLIGHT CHANGE
Nicaragua Canal Bill Reconsid-
cred by the House Com
mittee.
Cost Limited to $4,000, ,000-
Ten Millions Immediately
Available.
Mr.. Morgan Has No Doubt Con-
gress Will Take Favorable
Action.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce reconsidered the Nicaragua
canal bill, which had been reported with
an appropriation of $14O, 100000 and
changed the appropriation section SO as
to make SIC, ,0O0, 900 available, with au-
thority to contract for the entire excava-
ton, construction, defense and compile
ton of the canal, at total cost not ex-
ceeding $140, ,000,0 900. Before this action
was taken Mr.. Hepburn, chairman Of
the committee, stated that as all the
members of the committee were anxious
for the success of the bill, it was well to
consider some objections which had been
raised. He had heard several objections
on the ground that the whole $140, ,000,-
600 was appropriated now, and three or
four gentlemen had said they would not
support the hill if the entire sum was
appropriated now, but would support it
if only portion was made available at
once to begin work. ."
Mr.. Corliss of Michigan, thereupon
offered the following new section, which
was adopted: ~
''Section 6. That the sum of $1O, O,0oO,-
600 is hereby appropriated out of any
money in the treasury not otherwise ap-
propriated toward the project herein
contemplated, and the secretary Of war
is further hereby authorized to enter
into contract or contracts for mate
rials and work that may be deemed nee
essary for the proper excavation, con-
struction, defense and completion of
said canal, to be paid for as appropria-
tons from time to time be hereafter
made, not to exceed in the aggregate
$40, 0,000, ,000."
Mr.. Fletcher Of Minnesota asked:
"When you get that canal half built
for $40, ,0o0,0 900 what will you do for the
other half?'
Mr.. Coriss answered that the highest
estimate of cost thus far was $780,
100000.
Mr.. Hepburn added thatin the amend
ed form the bill simply applied the con-
tract system and limited the aggregate
to $4,000, 900.
In the amended form the bill was or
dered reported. The Pacific cable ques-
tion was then taken UP, and General
Wager Swayne of New York spoke in
favor Of private construction and opera
ton of the cable line, as against govern
ment ownership.

Senator Morgan Predicts Speedy Action on
Canal Bills.
MOBILE, Jan. 27.-In opening his SEN
atorial campaign here Senator John T.
Morgan discussed the criticism of his:
work in behalf of the Nicaragua canal.
The problem of the modern era, he
said, has been to provide second outlet
so that the gulf should be thorough
fare. The Nicaraguan canal would be
such an outlet. It was an engineering
work presenting no insuperable difficult
ties. Congress is favorably disposed,
the senator continued, the Hepburn
Morgan bill has a majority in both
houses and it will soon be passed.

There is, perhaps. no other great in
dustry in the world that has experienced
in recent years so far-reaching and re-
markable a revolution in methods OF
manufacture as the making of steel in
all It's forms. The elimination Of hand
labor by the substitution OF most pow
erful electrical and other forms Of labor
saving machines has been more appar-
ent In this than In any other manufac-
turing industry. Would 1t not seen
probable, therefore that a plethora Of
unemployed labor should exist in the
