TALKED OF HAWAII The Administration Will Not For- get Its Late Mistake. bOME SHARP CRITICISMS MADE Chicago rostoItice Building Bill, Appro- priating Four Million Dollars, Ihits•es the House. Washington, Jan. 21. -In the senate today Senator Lodge offered a resolu- tion declaring that the United States should keep a warship at the Sandwich Islands, that measures should be taken for the construction of a cable from San Francisco to Honolulu, and for the annexation of the Sandwich Islands tO the United States. Senator Blackburn objected to pres- ent consideration and the resolution went over. At 2 o'clock the Nicaragua canal bill came up, but was also set aside for consideration of the urgent dificiency bill. Senator Hill discussed the elimination of his amendment relative to the Income tax questions. The Hawaiian subject was again brought to the front by Senator Frye. who called up his resolution presented Saturday, expressing the profound re- gret of the senate at the latest effort to restore the queen. Senator Gray hawed that the senate was not a mis- sionary meeting to express sentimental feeling on the aspirations of well -intend. He regarded Ifie - reneeftit or the last revolution as long-winded. He regarded_the.event as far lent, Invert-. ant than the Brooklyn car strike. Sen- ator Gray commented on the unwar- ranted course of Admiral Walker. in re- porting at legnth on the political phases in Hawaii. \It is a serious thing for a senator to make a statement implying that the president of the United States is a sort of Nero, fiddling while Rome burns,\ declared Senator Gray. Senator Frye asked if the United States minister at Hawaii requested the presence of a warship at Honolulu. Senator Gray, said he had no Odor - mitten on this point, but he read from Minfitter Willis' official dispatch to Sec - stating that President Dole had ex- pressed satisfaction that afternoon that no warship was present at the recent revolution. SenatOr Frye -interposed a statement that President Doles re- marks were evidently designed to ex- press his satisfaction at being able to maintain the present government with- out any foreign forces being in the Is- lands. Senator dray urged a eleal „ a aettpairal Walker. \who was certainireillftit wit- ness for this oligarchy,\ had himself re- ported that the present government could sustain Itself without outside help. Senator Gray criticised the state- ments of Senator Lodge that the pres- ence of the Japanese cruiser Esmeralda in Hawaii should create apprehension. These critics of the administration had been compelled to give up the fear of Great Britain and turn to Japan. They had found that Great Britain had no concern in the subject. The senator from Massachusetts had evidently lost great opportunities to twist the tail of the British lion, and was now compelled to turn to Japan. Senator Chandler ank,•4 as to the movements of the Philadelphia and Charleston. tie remarked that Senator Gray was generally regarded as fully qualified to speak for the administra- tion. This evidently nettled Senator Gray, who suggested that If the sena- tor would call at the executive mansion he would undoubtedly receive such in- formation as he desired. He, (Gray) made no claims to executive informa- tion. The senator erom New Hampshire haling once been secretary of the navy perhaps shared In this spirit for con- quests and aggrandizement. Senator Chandler! continued to ques- tion Senator Gray as to the inferences to be drawn from his remarks that the withdrawal of American warships was in order to give the queen's adherents an opportunity to restore her to the throne. Senator Gray immediately de- nied that his remarks could he given any such construction. He urged that the pressnt Hawaiian government was not in reality a government It use a native factionalorganization. This brought Senater Hawley to his feet with the remark that it might account for President Cleveland's action last August in dealing with the delegation of royalists who came to Washington. \It is a misrepresentation of the pres- ident of the United States to say that he dealt with the royalists,\ responded Senator Gray The president had not conferred with the royalist delegation. He had refused to son thern Senator Frye said he desired action. LW bad hoped on Saturday to cable the young Hawaiian republic that the American people, who made and un- made presidents, who made ahd unmade secretaries of state, were profoundly in sympathy with its struggles. He had hoped that something would g0 by the vessel leaving San Francisco today. He asked an immediate vote o-nator Mills objected to such speedy ,tassion the request was agreed to with reservation that the order shall not deprive Senator Turple of an opportuni- ty to debate at length the bill and pend- ing amendment. The bill was then temporarily laid aside and Senator Call called up the fortifications appropria- tion bill. It carries an appropriation of $1,930,557, an increase of $56,500 over the amount appropriated by the house. The amount provided for the current fis- cal year was $2,347,000. The committee amendments were agreed to and the bills pealed. Then the senate went into executive session and shortly after- wards adjourned. TO BUILD CHICAGO'S PO- STOIFICE- The House Agrees to Appropriate Four Million for That Parpose. Washington, Jan. 21. -.In the house today Mr. J. Richardson of Tenamsee was elected speaker pro tern, Speaker Crisp being absent. Mr. Catching, pre- sented a special order for the considera- tion of bills for public buildings, in- cluding one for Chicago. On a rising vote it was ordered. 159 to 19, but Mr. Curtis, republican, of Kansas, made a point of no quorum. Later, when he attempted to withdraw the point, it was renewed by Mr. Xnglieh. The pre- vious question was ordered, and the spe- cial order adopted without division. The house then went into committee of the whole, and, under the terms of the order, took up the Chicago bill. It authorizes the erection of -a public build- ing at Chicago to cost $4,000,000, but the appropriating clause at the session, on August 8, had been stricken from the bill. Mr. Blankhead of Alabama, chairman of the committee on public buildings explained the necessity of the building. He described the deplorahle . conditIon of the present building, and urged the immediate necessity for the construe - non of the new building. Mr. Sayres of Texas opposed the pas - ea ge - Or tiii - VIEWIITErh - e - dea siFT•edeb - u not be passed in the public interest. If the hill was aesed it. i1,0 1 •00, e _feree ai extra appropriation of $3,000,uuo at this session, a sum the treasury could not afford to lose. Mr. Sayres denounced the postmaster at Chicago for being irt Washington lobbying in favor of this bill, Instead of remaining at Chicago attending to his business. If such bills as these were passed, Mr. Sayres warn- ed his colleagues that this would be classed with the \billion -dollar\ con- , gress. The bill was amended so as to provide for the objections raised, though still provklingefter e epeedy work, and to cost $4,000,000. At 4:30 p. m. the committee arose and reported the bill DON'T FEAR MILITIA Brooklyn Rioters Continue to Throw Stones. NEW MEN HAVE GONE OUT Presence of Right Th aaaaa d Troops Al- lowed a Few Cars to Move During the Dilly• Brooklyn, Jan. 21. -The depot on Third avenue end Fifteeeighth street was garrisoned today by three com- panies of the Twenty-third regiment. Captain Thorne, of Company F was in command. Companies El -and I were quartered in the power house at Sec- ond avenue and Fifty-second street. Rioting had been expected at. the. ins- tates of the Atlantic road at Fortieth av- enue and Forty-sixth street but quiet prevailed during the day. The scene presented a more animated appearance at the Third avenue depot, a large erowd being present during the day, but no disturbance took place. The company ran 28 cars, the service be- ing fair. In addition to 230 militiamen there was on duty a strong force of po- licemen. East New York was quiet all day. It had put on a military appearance by the addition of a battery of artillery to the infantry forces stationed at the Alabama street depot and the old in- habitants were put in mind of the times the recruiting camp was stationed there The officials of the Brooklyn, Queens County and Suburban railway rein - formed 'Captain' Germen that MI soon as the men they had engaged had arrived, they would open up the route. One car was Own brawisht out and sent down Fulton avenue as far as Tompkins and returned about 4:30 loaded with men, a few of whom were experienced mo- tormen. They were. soon ready for work and at 4 o'clock the first car for a full week or more was started down Broadway. It was unmolested, but 'at every switch had much difficulty in progressing, as the switches were all frozen. Large crowds assembled at these places and there was much ver- hanging about the stations where the military are posted and annoy the mol- dier. by Jeering and pelting them with stones. All night lung the pickets were subjected to these attacks. Missiles flew around them In the darkness and they could not retaliate. The mob at the Halsey street depot threw a volley of stones at the militia and many of the soldiers received bad bruises, but before they could charge on the mob it dispersed. Men hanging about the depots theeaten to burn all the barns simultaneously if the alleged wrongs of the strikers are not remedied today. In disposing of the First battalion, Thirteenth regiment, Major Cochran met with an obstruction from the crowd In front of the -strikers' headquarters at Fitt avenue and Twenty-fourth street. Major Cochran ordered a charge before which the greater part of the crowd, numbering about 600, fled inside the building. Colonel Appleton of the Seventh regiment at Halsey street, with three companies, sent men out to the neighboring store to purchase provi- sions, but the shop keepers refused to sell to the soldiers, who then charged the mob scattering them in all direc- tions. TROUBLE WITH SOLDIERS. A guard upon an elevated train, car- rying a company of soldiers seized a soldier who was smoking to put him off the train, when the other militiamen went to their comrade's assietance and beat the guard severely. Captain Ly- ons, commanding the company, placed the guard under arrest but released him when the company reached their destination. . Several cars on the Sumner avenue line were stalled at the corner of Green and Sumner avenues. Six hundred men surrounded the cars and tried to induce the motorman to join the ranks, they became angry and boisterotts, and Atie-peiloe -okayed-ahem seat tariew the mob. Master Workman M. J.

Meeting of the Hotise Appropriation Committee Considering It. Washington, Jan. 21. -An important meeting of the house appropriation committee was held today in which Secretary Carlisle took part at the re- quest of Chairman Sayers. The con- ference wal over the adoption of a policy by which the secretary hopes to put into circulation an Increased vol- ume of silver certificates of small de- nominations in place of treasury notes. The committee decided to strike from the sunder, civil bill the stipulation that for several years has been added to the item providing for printing treas- ury notes to replace those received at the treasury. The secretary stated that It was his desire to get more silver certificates of small denominations into the hands of the people, but explained that other ,ten occupied the field and crowded then) out. Several members of the committee led the discussion into the by -ways of finance. Once Representative Sibley asked the secretary what objection there would be to a system of redeem- ing notes in gold and silver at the op- tion of the secretary of the treasury instead of the holder. \If that policy had been inaugurated at the beginning of the resumption,\ answered the sec- retary, \it would have worked bene- ficially and no trouble would have arts-. en from it. But my predecessors have followed the policy of redeeming in gold or silver at the option of the holder of paper and any secretary who tried to change this policy and force silver on a man who wanted gold or vice versa would have precipitated disastrous re - twee •• DICK BURGE WON HIS BATTLE. knocked Out Pugilist Williams-Neus of tither Bruisers.

Pickets of the Seventh regiment made charges and generally drove the, crowd back. The ranks of the strikers In Brooklyn today were swelled by the addition of gangs of tramps and loafers of New York, POLICEMEN SHOT. While three care on the Gates avenue line were on' their way down town this evening they were surrounded by a howling mob at Stuyvesant avenue. Missiles of every description were hurled at the men in charge. The men preened forward and a number of shots were fired, several of which took effect on Policeman Patrick Callahan and James Degan, who formed a portion of the guard. Degan was shot through the arm and Callahan through the hand. The mob after this succeeded in wreck- ing three cars which were opposite the precinct station. Superintendent Kitzer learned that the *hots came from a haunt in the neighborhood. He forced his way up stainewith two of his men and arrested a worannrersirmederearney, who It is be- lieved either did the -hooting or is aware who did it.

The First brigade of the National Guards of New York, composed of the New York city troops, has been ore, dered to this city. The total number of troops now under arms in Brooklyn is 8,000. The refusal of the companies topromise reinstatement to the strikers when they indicated a willingness to call the fight off, has made many who were hitherto peaceably disposed, des- perate, and ready to participate In acts of violence directed against the proper- ty of the corporationa It is possible the only fine not hither- to involved in the strike, known as the Coney Island line, will now be brought Into the trouble. The men on the De Kalb street line, who resumed work Fri- day. under compromise with the com- pany, may be called out also. Acts of violence in the supposed in- terests of the striker' have been almost continuous In one part or another of the city during the laht 48 hours. During last night trolley wires were cut in all directions, those who performed the work escaping detection. Early In the day a mob blocked the Seventh avenue Use from Twelfth to Twenty-fourth streets, moving off from one place as the militia Or police approached and congre- gating a short diftlinee getay • raw mo- menta later, thus avoiding collision with the representatives of the law, while effeettially stopping traffic more than an hour.

Washington, Jan. 21.—The supreme court rendered an opinion in the sugar trust compaitiee of the United states vs. R. C. Knight and others involving the validity and constitutionality of the Sherman anti-trust law. The decision holds the lave to be applicable to the case in of the circuit court. In his opinion, Chief Justice Fuller said the fundamental question involves whether, conceding that the existence of a monopoly in manufactures Is estab, !tithed by evidence, that a monopoly can be directly suppressed under an act of congress in the mode attempted. H i e says the supreme court has uniformly held thei under the constitutiod that in procedures for the relief Or citizens of each state from the burden of mo- nopoly and the evil arising from re- straint of trade was for states to deal with them when confined to the limit of any of the states. Hence it becomes a Aplestion in the present instance whether there has been Interference with the Interstate or foreign commerce. The `opinion then asserts that while commerce succeeds manufacture, it is not a part of it and says that while the exercise of powee•••to control the manu- facture of an article may result in bringing the direct operation of corn. merce into play, it does not control commerce, in that article and realty affects it only incidentally and indi- rectly. It is laid down that \that the fact that an article is manufactured for export to another state, does not of itself make it an article of Inter- state commerce and the intereerof the manufacturer does not determine the time when the article passes the control of the state and belongs to commerce.\ And further on, \it was in the light of well settled principle, that the act of July, 1890. Waal arranged. Congress did not attempt thereby to assert the power to deal with a monopoly directly as such, or to limit or to restrict the rights of corporations created by states, or ritizene of states, in the acquisition, control or disposition of property; or to regulate or prescribe the price or prices at which property or the products there- of should be sold, so as to make edits- Mai the acts not persons in the acquisi- tion and control of property which the states of their residencei 'sanctioned or permitted.\ \The subject matter of the sale,\ nays the opinion,\was that the shares of ritanufacturing stock on which relief was sought was surrendered property which had already passed the province of suppression of alleged monopoly, yet the act of congress only authorised cir- cuit courts to proceed by way of pre- venting and restraining violations of the act in respect to contracts, combi- nations or conspiracies In restraint of interstate and international trade err commerce.\ 'Justice Harlan, In a dissenting oPin- ion, said the supreme court heretofore held that interstate commerce meant more than mere traffic between states and included the buying and wiling of commodities and in view of the fact that the court of appeals had stated that the object of the combination of the sugar companies was not only for the control of manufacturers of sugar, but also for Its sale, he thought the case was one Which came within the scope of interstate commerce and wis amen- able to congressional action.

Four passen- gers on the City of Owensboro, passing here this evening, were picked up near the Kentucky shore. They riveam for their lives on planks and reached the willows. One reached the shore and the others remained in the trees until res- cued. They were W. C. Leathers, from Hopkins county, Kentucky, and a man named Gregory of Cave -in -Rock, Ill. The names of the other two could not be learned. . These passengers say that the steam- er hit a rock near her stern and gave a sudden lurch. A yawl was launched, but so many people crowded into it that it was soon sunk.

The surviving passengers think that at least 34 Were lost. The cabin and upper works of the boat floated away. The pilot house was towed ashore at Rock - to the hurricane deck. All the racers, the white members of the crew and pas- sengers huddled together, nervous but cool. The negro roustabouts began jumping into the water. I saw five or six of them drawn under the bow and I saw at least ten negroes drowned. \James Bell, Jr._ was at the wheel when she struck. He tried to run her nose against the banks. Her stages were, run out and the negroee tried to fasten a line to a young tree partly submerged but the tow snapped and the boat seemed to glide. einkingly rapidly all the while, about 40 yards out in the river. The fire burned so fiercely that a number of us jumped from the hur- ricane deck, a distance of about 40 feet, into the cold water. I must have been under the water fully five minutes fighting against being drawn under the boat. I finally came to the surface and made for the \Clump of trees we had endeavored to tie up to. We hung on to these trees until •a farmer took us off in a yawl. While ln the tree I saw the roof part from the hull and float down the river. Those on it were stand- ing about two feet in the water. The captain and head engineer were the last to leave after seeing everybody else off safely.\ FIVE WERE DROWNED, Louisville, Jan. 21. -The loss of life occasioned by the sinking of the Mem- phii and Cincinnati line steamer State of Missouri, near Harding's landing is smaller than at first supported.
