ALL MIXED TIP.
The Election Haa Ita Effect on tho
Ways and Moans Committee.
A Htormy M?otln? of Fonr of th9 Member*
ftt the Arllnffton-l'oor Prospects of a
151X1 JlelDn Reported Bwforv the
First Day of Janoary Next.
Wasiuxoton, Nov. l?.?The big four
of the- democratic majority on tho way*
and means committee held a long an-:.
exciting- session Friday night at the
Arlington hotel in the room of one 01
the quartot. Chairman Wilson, of Wear
Virginia; Clifton R. Breckinridgo, o:
Arkansas, Wm. D. Bynum, of Indiana
and Moses T. Stevens, of Massachu?
setts were the four to put their head
together and try to straighten out ttv
difficult ies that havo arisen in the path- ?
way of tlie committee in the prcparo
tion of their new tariff bill.
'ihe four members remained att!v
Arlington until a late hour Saturda;
morning-, and so great were the proc
lems they tried to solve that thee wer
finally obliged to give them up and ar.
journ unti] another dato.
'1 he trouble is that the elections hav
had their effect upon the democrati
mcmbors of the ways and means coir
mittce, nud they arc all torn up and a
wor u ith each other In regard to th
revision of tho tariff.
It or.a b< stated on the authority c !
one of tho Id;; four that the committa
will not have the tariff bill read
by the 1st of December, as ex
pected, and that congress will be i:
session many days again before tho
ways and means committee will b
ready to report. In fact, it Is Raid tha .
January l will come and jro before tb/i
dcaocr.it ic tariff bill is in shape to b
prvst ntcd to the country. Chairma:.
Wilson before the elections thought,
his committee in full accord with hii
and the bi<l drawn up and presented b
the administration.
Jndccd: so groat was the disoonten .
and positive rofusal to aoeept the ultr .
bill that the big four oame together L
great hasie Friday night to try an I
smooth out thing's, but oven In th ?
quartet there was difference of opinio .
und little progress was made. It seem-,
to be the i a ten tion of Chairman Wilson
now to prepare an ultra bill which wi)\
be forced through the house if pos
siblo and go to the Monate forfbanl re?
vision. It is acknowledged that who:,
the tariff bill reaches the senate i".
will be so changed and altered tin ?
no one o,f U.s creators in the bouse wii*
recognize it. Thin point is being- us*vi
by the free trade members of the com?
mittee to placate their opponents ano.
prot them to agree to the administra?
tion bill.
There is a great doubt in tho mind
of thy democratic members of the way
and moans committee as to the fate o
the bill in the house. A few member-,
of congress who have returned to Wash ?
ington arc talking in an entirely differ?
ent strain in regard to the tariff from
\\}\&\ they did before the election*
i The revolt, of Home of the strongest
tariff rc visors is making the commlttcn
! exceedingly uneasy, and what Is fur
I thermore strengthening the kickers is
the appearance here just now of large
delegations representing interests af
; fectcd by thn proposed bill. They an1
here protesting and fighting agnins:
any reduction whatever. Bach day
brings new delegations and new com
plications. Senator Frye, of Maine
who is one of the oldest and astutes:
statesmen in congress, dees not be?
lieve that the repeal of the sil?
ver-purchasing law will lastingly
benefit the financial conditions of
the country. He says the silver lav.
was a scarecrow and only frightence
people, while in fact the commercial
disturbances lie deeper and are. imbed
ded iii our economic policies. The sen
ator believes that within a very fev
years England will be driven to negc
tiatc with us for universal free coinag?
<if silver upon a ratio which will insur*
a parity between the 'wo metal-. I>
says we have now put England on th<
defensive cud that she must take tlu
initiative in self-preservation.
Tho senator declares that it alxrn
the time President Cleveland was lnau
gurated he had announced his deter
ruination to maintain the purity be
twee.u all moneys and fulfill our ro
demption pledges, even if It becanv
necessary to sell bonds authority fo
which he possesses, there would hav?
beeu no panic. The Maine statesman
believes that Secretary Carlisle's vacil?
lating p->!u-less will prove hi:u to lx> ax.
ofilcial disappointment to the country.
The senator says there will undoubtfoji
ly be seme financial legislation at the
approaching session of congress inu-hti?
ed ;o guard against a stringency and u
meet the treasury deficiency, but he
will not venture to describe it.
QUEE OP OUR NAVY,
The Olympia shows Hertleif tho Swlftes
Cruiser Afloat.
San Ifr.AXCisco, Nov. 18.?The nev
cruiser Olympia, on her first trip, ha
established her position nsqueen of tlu
United States navy. The ship made i
maximum speed or' tweuty-rone niu
twentyrsix hund'vedths kncts,,and aver
aged slightly under tweuty-om knots
on a run of sixty-tight knots, with 1
heavy sea und a Mtroug head wind.
Tho Olympia was only expected \<>
make twenty knots. Kcr buildcr3 an
vorv hanpy over the trial, and think
that when" the official government tritt
is made, she can be forced up tr
twenty-two knots. This would givt
the t'/ron Iron works a bonus of 1400,
1)00 for exceeding tho speed require?
ment. _

Uatti.k Crkek, Mich.', Nov. 13.?A
curious question has arisen with re?
gard to the death of Charles 8. Saxe
and hi* wife, two New York victims of
the Grand Trun^ collision. They left
two children. If Saxo died finst the
wife's- relatives will get tho property,
which is very large, but it Mrs. Saxe
diod first the husband's heirs will be ic
luck. The supposition is that both
died instantly, although tho husband??
heirs will urge that the wife, being
suuposedly the weaker of the two, wat
first to succumb. A long drawn out
contest In the New York courts is the
Vrcspect.

Augusta, Me., Kov. i&?Hon. J. L
Ktt'vt'iis, lute minister to Hawaii, wil;
j make t}ie following reply to Ooshain'*
I announcement:
According to the announcement v.
public.crime of startling importance in
about to be committed, under tho au?
thority of the American government
; A public crime of Ik.-* proportions, bat
! in its moral type similar to tho
j stifling of nation with life and
the reform aspirations of Poland
and Hungary, r few years ago,
i by the imperial despots, and to th*<
crushing out ol the new-formed repub?
lic of Home by the usurped powers o^
Louis Napoleon. All that American
j piety, American bene\<olence, American
tehoolc und American patriotism havo
accomplished in Hawaii in the pas*.
! seventy years are now centralized in
the provisional government, and stand
in ita support it i? a government ho7H
c-stly nnd ably administered, and tho
beat government that Hawaii ever had.
I know not the influences which in?
duced Secretary trresham to become nr.
active agent in attempting such on
offense against civilisation, justice rim"'
law.
H!k hostility to ex-lYeaident Hani- ;
son and to toe illustrious ex-5ecretary
Of state, who passed to bin grsve ir<
January last, in well knevu. It wa.- j
that which caused him to betray am!
desert the tfr<?.at political party who**-)
honor* he had shared ana brought
to his present attitv.de- and thot*
works. So far as bis recent tnarii- J
feLto on Hawaiian affairs oasts reflec- J
tion upon my official action 1 can '
little, except to the d?groe that hi* |
cruel and untruthful words .strike at
the noble band ofir.cn and women wlio
have for ton month* stood to devotedly '
and u?itedlj* in defence of American
civilization. The remarks made by mo
before the chamber of commerce in Sa:i
Francisco on Juno 1 and before the eiti- !
zensof Augusta, published in the Kea
nebec Journal, ar.? answers to most of;
the unjust imputations of my unofficial
action. '
Perliapa nothing hotter shows the
character of the secretary's assault j
than what he Sayn about the hell j
which the men occupied a few days and 1
until better quarters could be sccurei.
After 1 had- made my request to t apt.
"VVi 1 to land kis'men as a precaution
ary safeguard to American life and
property, he and his of?cors informed
me that their men must have sholtcr !
for the night. Without special informa :
tion in that regard 1 had supposed th/ii j
the ship's marines had tents of then 1
own for their temporary use in case o:
emergency on shore. I wrote a note arc"
sent it oya messenger to secure a larg<* j
hail which was supposed to be avail j
able. The man in charge of th. j
hall w as severaJ miles away and I hud ?
not known of the existence of the Arioc
hall until that evening, when a ues- i
scnger with my note was sent to the |
supposed agent of the Ar ion halt who J
was a royalist, lie returned me s j
courteous answer, saying he would be
pleased to let the hull for the specified
purpose, but he had coased to be tL?
agent informing me who then hoe
charge of the hall. This required i j
third note and a third effort of a mes- j
sengcr, which proved successful. Sc |
much time had thus boon consumed
that the Ho<.ton's marines and sailor- j
were obliged to stand weary hours in \
the street before they were able to fv j
to their night quarters. All of the::' :
would lm\'e been held at the legation
and consulate but for want of room, j
whereas as many a? possible were re?
ceived, thee localities being severa1 \
streets and squares from tho palac? '
and government building.

the men c-f the Boston tho committee o.. ;

Queen Liliudkalani inaugurated the j
revolution by iiilomptiug- to destroy j
the legislature by revolutionary j
means. Prom Saturday afternoon.
January 14, to January ltf, there was j
no government in Honolulu except in j
the self-poseessod attitude of citizens :
who assemb ed in a great mass-meetinf :
January 10 and consummated their
efforts for law and order by the ca
tablishinent of the provisional govern- .
ment on tho 17th, which was promptly :
acknowledged by all the foreign repre- j
sentatives.
Liliuokalani and hor favorites had
destroyed her throne by a revolution?
arj outbreak when the men of the
Ho.ston lauded. In the cxeitiu? houro
preceding and following her fall, her
representatives, as well as tho.-ie who .
formed the provisional government,
had equal access to the l^alioa. Tt
all proper inquiries my answer was
tiiat the United Statea mariuis could
not take side, but whatever de facie
government might exist would have to ,
be recognized.
When I lid recognize it, late in tha '
afternoon of the 17-th, the provisional j
government was complete master of j
the situation, had full control cf the
city and of tho government archive.""., 1
the police station being surrendered j
und at the niercjfoi the provisional gov- |
eminent
It was a small building in which the j
pewcriess followers of the Queen, Maiv ?
shall took refuge, end they must have ;
surrendered m a few hours by tlie mere j
force of hunger.
The provisional government knev? j
its power to possess the station at
or.ee. but wished not to take a life cf
its occupants. It deemed it wiser to
await their surrender. Had the queen's j
supporters dare to resist the organiza?
tion of the new government, then the
only possible time to do so was during
Sunday and Monday, tho 15th and lUth,
while the citizens were attending the
mass meetings. They did not dare to
attempt to arrest or interfere with the
aroused white citizens It was a united
vn4 irresistible moveewn* of th? flame
men, [with now increased nnmbcrv
who took'away (he despotic powers ( t
King Kalakaua in 1887 and crush el
the Wilcox revolt in 1889.

j was made to damage my recognition ol
j the provisional government by a dis
! puto as to tho honr of tho clock with
j which I gave recognition,
j This is of no essential importance, fcr
j in fact all resistance to the formatier,
j of a new government practically ceased
j more than two days before. The coin
: mittoe on public safety and the pro?
visional-government constituted tho

Parkkrsbuho.W. Va., Nov. 13.? Judge j
Boreman's decision in the Wirt county '.
court "that there 1? no law against a j
perivjn giving a bribe for a \oto, al?
though the person receiving the same
is liai le to indictment," 1h a revelatloi
Hnd has created considerable excite?
ment, as it proves that the bribery lair,
is very loosely drawn.
The ease that brought forth this de?
cision Lathe indictment of R. It Gra?

was charged with conveying certain
real estate to about twenty different
persons on condition that they would
vote for Stephen Merrill for mayor an
E. P. Dotson, T. ii. Clinton "and Ed?
ward Sei filet for the city council. Tlie
indictment was found under section
6. chapter ? of tho code, and,
the decision was made on a. raotite
by tlie defendant's counsel moving
to quash tho indictment. Judgi
foreman held that while the indict?
ment itself was in good form ti e soc
tion under which it wni drawn dir' not:
make it an offence to Rfive a bribe
although it did make it an offens? t<
receive one, and ou this ground Ik
granted the motion. Ho added thai
there was a casus omissr.s in the law In
not providing a punishment for tho
bribor as well a-t the one bribed. ,Iu?-;<
Boreman is ono of the most careful
painstaking judges in tie state, and a
decision from him carries great weight.

Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The {
turn of the tide has come. Since the j
elections there has been a distinct im
provement iu business, and particularly j
in manufacturing. There is some la
crease, in actual tvansav-.tions, and mucL
more in the tone irf business. Men ol
all parties feel that there is ground foi
greater confidence, the siivur questior
being put definitely out of the way
uu-t the chance oi disturbing action m
other respects being lessened, wh!h
the right of the paopie to rule the:
rulers has been vindicated. While It L
yet too early to look for groat changes
there is already a distinct improveraon*
in the demand for manfaetured pre
ducts since the action on the silre:
bil'., some increase in tho output of p'(
iron and in -.riles of wool, in the buiii

of Pensions Lochren Friday morniu|'
filed bis answer in the mandamus pro
ceodings instituted by Judge Charle?
D. Long, of Michigan. The latter wan
receiving a pension of S7*2 per icomth,
which Commissioner Lochren suspend?
ed on the ground that Judge Long was !
not entitled to a total dlsabiiiuy pension, j
The case was brought to the dis? i
trict court of the District of Columbia,
tho last proceeding being an order rc
Commissioner Lochron to show cau-.e
why he should uot restjre Judpe Long
to the pension roilx Commisstonei
Lochren admits that Judjfe Loti** was
legally placed on tb?> pension rolls, but
denies that tlie certificate increasing
the pension to $72 was regular and Uw- j
faL
In defending the right of the com- j
?missionor to suspend pensions, he as-1
sens that it has been the practice since :
1S19, when John C. Calboun, as necr*v j
tary of war, in charge of pension:., o :- j
erclscd the right; also, that Secretary '
Zach Chandler suspended pensions :n 1
Pennsylvania and Xew Jersey in l>*3,
on account of irregularities by claim
agents, ami that the same 3 ear a stand-1
ing order was adopted regulating susv ?
pensions, reductions and dropping from
the rolls, and that such action is a d**- j
partrneutal construction of legi.-dati< n
.whien in conclusive. The commissioner i
SSberts th.at 6uch construction is r-v |
visable only by the secretary of the:
interior, and can not be restrained or j
controlled by any court.
Judge Long's only remedy is an ap-1
peal to thu secretary. Having- one's
name on the ptmoLon roll, says the com- 1
missiouu*, does not constitute n pro;r
erty right, but comprises the privilege
of receiving a bounty from the govern?
ment so iontf au thnt person, in ti-.e
judgment of the commissioner, balon?*s
to tlm class o: pcreons designs ted by
congress r.s the proper recipient --f
United States bouuty. The issuance
otf a pension certificate is not a conclu?
sive adjudication, but subject to review
and investigation. Ruch investigations
must be executive, and no; judicial.
The commissioner inaista that Iiis right
to rule his own or predecessor's act.< n
has been conceded by Judge Long, and
had been invoked by htm frequently,
with final Hitcceas.
He then given in detail the appropria?
tions and act* of the pension bureau iu !
tb? pension of Judge Long, com mono- I
Ing in lr>?'2 r.nd ending in ISoO, when ha
received ?72 per month with arrearages, j
Tho ecenmissionor nays this decision of :
Commhislonor Tanner "'was induced by |
error of fact as well an of law." For j
the reasons, the commissioner claims, j
that Judge Long Is estopped from
claiming that the commissioner baa no:
power to reconsider the action of h:s
predecessors, as the rehearing? and In
creascs given him were reconsiderations
of former commissioners.
The commissioner says that the pen?
sion paid Judge Long is for total disa?
bility, and that Judgo Long is not c -
abled but le drawing a lar^e sal,,) i
from the *tate of Michigan. The fu"t
that Judge Long did not ?ny>ear taforj
a pension examining board m that ii *
esis.; might be settled by the commis?
sioner i* given a.i a reason wb) tho .
mandamus should be denied.
Further, this court hxs no jurisdic?
tion to grant a. ontndamua, except to
perform a statutory act If the order
of tlie conimiaslonor In illegal JuJiro
Long's remedy b* a suit for injunction. !
The commissioner asks thut tho pro- ?
ceedings be dissmissod.
