THREE GREAT QUESTIONS.
The Pivotal Point in Our Na-
tional Destiny.
We Must Either Go Back or
Move Forward.
American Pluck the Prime Necessity
of the Present Hour.
Uncle Bam Should Acquire Control of
Hawaii, the tiering flea and the
Nicaragua Canal. Say*
Senator Morgan.
By the Associated Press.)
Nrw York, Feb. 26.—1n honor of
Senator Morgan, who sailed on the New
York yesterday, a committee of well
known merchants and others gathered
upon the deck of the American liner to
wish the eenator Godspeed. Replying
to an addrssra made by the chairman of
the committee, Mr. Morgan spoke, in
part, as follows :
"It is singular that at this time there
are grouped together three immense
propositions relating to that great body
of water, the Pacific —the Bering sea ar
bitration, which also may be said to in
volve the whole North Pacific; the Nic
aragua canal, and then the Hawaiian
proposition. The three together must
convince all thinking men that
there never was a moment in
the history of this government
saving the period of our civil war, when
so much wisdom, courage, manhood and
intrepidity, foresight and determined
American pluck were necessary as just
now. We have come to our pivotal
point in Ametiean destiny—the moment
when we must go back or forward. We
cannot take middle ground.
"In thinking of the Pacific ocean and
our'duty in connection with it, I don't
want to see repeated what waß perps
trated upon ua at the time we acquired
our independence. Though France waa
at our back we did not have the fore
eight to acquire all that belonged to us.
We did not take New Foundland, the
Bahamas, the Berniadac, the Windward
island), Jamaica and ail tho territory
east of Yucatan. Why should a people
of 35,000,000 hold against a people o<
65,000,000 all those islanda? I am not
criticiaing them; I admire them. I
wish Amerioana would be aa much like
them as possible—only more ao.
"Great, Britain has already plant"!
herself m Australia and New Zsalan i,
and is now approaching the Sandwich
islands —that Gibraltar of the Pacific.
Only recently she raised her flag on one
of the islands, and at the present time
the Hawaiian government and ours are
protesting against that occupation
Let me s«k you, when they get
there and complete the chain,
including Vancouver, Victoria, Ha
waii, Hong Kong, New Zealand
and Australia, will we not then see re
peated in the Pacific that miserable,
despicable policy which waa perpetrated
in the Atlantic when there waa nothing
left but for ua to put the eastern ialanda
into the bill of aale or treaty?
"With theee three great questions
confronting ui—tbe Nicaragua canal,
the Bering sea arbitration and Hawaii,
the last ready to drop into our laps like
a ripe pear—we have need of tbat spirit
of manhood, energy and endurance
which waa superbly developed when
we were fighting one another, with a
million men in the field. Then we
shall see the outcome of the power and
spirit of a great people on a great oc
caaion.
"Let us move to the front 1"
ANNEXATION DEFEATED.
A Senatorial Committee to Be Sent to
Hawaii.
Washington, Feb. 26. — Paul Neu
mann, envoy of Queen Liliuokalani to
Washington, today expressed confidence
in tbe conviction that the treaty of an
nexation made with the commisaioners
of the provisional government of Hawaii
was practically defeated. He said tbe
senate would be asked next week to ap
point a commission to visit the ielandß
and investigate tho condition of affairs
there. If this was done, he Baid, the
senate and country would learn a condi
tion under which the people of Hawaii
would ulmoßt unanimously Btipport the
movemeut for the annexation of the
islands, if it was then determined that
it would be the beat thing for both
co« ntries.
He asserted thnt the queen was not
deposed, but simpiy retired to her pri
vate residence, in order to avoid a con
flict with the United States troops. II
asserted that Minister Stevens was cum
pelled to raise the United States flag
over tho government buildings in Hono
lulu to protect the provisional govern
ment from its own partisans. Having
established a protectorate, however,
Neumann said Minister Stevens should
have been amply supported by his gov
ernment. Personally, he hoped the
protectorate would be maintained until
the sure course of the islands was set
tled.
Neumann criticised the action of
Davis in starting to the United States
with Princesß Kaiulani, and also his re
ported proposition to Minister Lincoln
in London to accept a United States
protectorate over the islands with tbe
princess on the throne with a regency
for three years.
TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.
Its Grow ih In America Retarded by a
Lack of Raw Materiel.
Washington, Feb. 26.—Special Agent
Ayer bas submitted another report to
the treasury department on the develop
ment of the American tin plate in
dustry. The report shows a total pro
duction of tin and terns plates for the
six months ended December 31, 1802, nf
30,709,116 pounds, against 2,236,743
pounds produced during the correspond
ing period the previous year. The
report mates that the Temeacal tin
mine in Southern California and
the Harney Peak mine in South Dakota
have suspended operations, and suggests
that inasmuch as it now seems probable
that the tin mines of thie country will
not be developed in the near future to
the extent that will afford an adequate
product of metal, it ia worthy of consid
eration whether, in the intereet of tin
plate manufacturers, that the law which
impoßßß a duty of 4 cente a pound, on
nnd after July 1, 1893, on cassiterite and
bar, block and pig tin, might not be ad
vantageously repealed.
NO DANGER OF IMBROGLIO.
France Will Not Raise a Row Over the
Castroee Incident.
Washington, Feb. 26 — There ie no
danger of an international complication
between thia country and France arising
out of the complaint of Abbe de la Croix
de Oaatroea, referred to in the diapatch
from Seattle, Wash. The matter was
laid before the state department by
Patenotre, tbe French minister. It was
presented verbally and he waa told that
investigation into the action of the cua
toma olhcera complained of would
be made. This investigation ie
new in progreaa and the result
will be communicated, to Patenotre.
The Frencli miniater says while it ia
doubtleea true that the abbe wae badly
treated, he thought the flattie telegram
exaggerated matters. No demand will
be made on tho United States govern
ment until the reault of the investiga
tion is made known. It may be that
none will be necep->oiy. Patenotre ie
informed by the French consul at San
Franc!«co, where Abbe do la Cro'x rle
Castrnea formerly resided, that the abbe
there, bore an excellent, reputation, be
ing a man of large benevolence.
CANADIAN RELATIONS.
President Harrison's Views Embodied in
a House Hill,
Washington, Feb. 26.—The meaaoge
of Preeident Harrison on Canadian re
lations sent to congress on the 3rd inst.,
in reßponae to Hitt's resolution of July
last, had a repponee in a bill introduced
in the house yesterday by Representa
tive Hi it. The measure in voluminous.
It provides for revieiug and amending
the lawa establishing intercourse and
relatione with the provincee of British
North America and the Republic of
Mexico, nnd Carrie's out the suggestions
propoaed by the president in hia mee
68ge t*> reunsdy the present inequalities.
A RDSIToF LEGISLATION.
THE CLOSING DIVS OF CONGRESS
WILI. BE EVENTFUL.
Many UnlmporKnt Bills Will Be Reck
lessly Fussed—.appropriation Bills
Will Havo a Hurd Fight
for Precedence.
Washington, Feb. 26. —The closing
hours ol the Fifty-second congress will
be characterized by a rush of legislation
that has seldom been equaled. As there
is not time enough for many private
measures near completion to pass, they
must antagonize each other, and opposed
to them all in both houses wili stand
the appropriation committees urging
immediato action on the great meaßures
in their charge.
In the senate the naval bill will prob
ably come up Monday; the agricultural
and poßtoffice bills are expected to be
reported by Tuesday, and the deficiency
bill about the middle of the week. They
will be taken up for action as fast as re
ported. Meantime conaideration of
iheße bills and other pending measures
will be suspended from time to time to
allow the dispos'tion of conference re
ports.
There seems to be a set purpose to
prevent any further executive session oi
the senate if possible. Thia will serve
a three fold purpose—to defeat action
on the nomination of Judge Hanchette ;
prevent reconsideration of the vote by
which the nomination of Congressman
Finlay ot Maryland as Chilean arbitra
tor waa rejected, and shelve the Hawai
ian treaty ot annexation for the session.
In the house advantage will be taken
of tho rule permitting action during the
last six days of the session, under sus
pension of the rules, to rush foiward
business of au urgent nature. A num
ber of measures of comparatively little
interest may be thus passed, but
the indications now are that it
will be necesearv to give most
of the time to the appropriation
bills; uniesn an amicable underatanding
can 'jo privately reached with reference
to the course to be taken with the Sher
man bond amendment to the sundry
civil bill it will be moved under suspen
sion of the rules to send all the amend
ments to conference with a formal non
ooncurrence recommended. It is not
anticipated that any serious trouble will
occur in conference sufficient to en
danger the passage of the appropriation
bills and compel an extra session of con
gress.

San Francisco, Feb. 20. —An im
portant mining deal waß consummated
yesterday which will have the effect of
bringing into prominence the Southern
California mining district. In April,
1801, J. P. Taggart, a wholesa'e liquor
man of Loa Angeles, was prospecting in
San Bernardino county and had about
given up hopes of striking a claim that
would pay, when he found a ledge of
gravel that rah $200 to the
ton and Waa seemingly inex
haustible. He filed his claim
and went batik to Los Angelea, and two
friends of hia, J. K. Totter and R. C.
Hall, went with him to the mine and
worked it, Taggerl furniahing the money.
Six months ago John W. Muckey and
James L. Flood heard of the mine, and
after investigating it, entered into nego
tiations for its purchase. They bought
Taggart nnd his partners out for $40,000,
and after having the property under
bond for five mouths they paid up last
week and will work it themaelveß.
The mine ia in the Vanderbilt district,
about 35 miles northeaßt of Gough Bta
tion on the Atlantic and Pacific railway.
A branch line is being built to the camp.
Associated with Flood and Mackey in
the purchase of the property are W. ti.
Lyle and George Wells of this city.
Tlieae men have already deposited
to carry on the work.

harass her, and that ehe owes them no

By the Associated Press.
New York, Feb. 23.—The Herald's
Lakewood (N.J.) dispatch says: "I am
informed that there will be a deter
mined effort this week to secnre the
adoption of the proposed compromise
bill drawn up at the recent meeting in
Carlisle's Washington house, which ia
designed to please both the friends and
opponents oi silver coinage. Cleve
land believes that it will be pos
sible in the closing week of the
Bession to pass the measure, relieve the
gold market and supersede the Sherman
silver law. Carlisle goes from here
equipped with arguments from the
preßident-olect for use among the silver
men and they have strong hopes of re
moving this stumbling block in the way
of the incoming administration. I can
aay from an authoritative source that if
the hopes of the president-eiect and hia
advisers are not realized there is every
prospect that Cleveland will call an ex
tra session of congress at an early date to
deal with the silver question. Mr. Cleve
land does not want to call an extra ses
sion if he can by any means avoid it.
He will endeavor to persuade the Demo
cratic members of the present congress
to push the repeal of the Sherman act
and secure the adoption of a compromise
measure. Thia failing, it is almost cer
tain that an extra session will be held."
