T
Washington, Jan, 23.
HE attendance of senators at the
opening of today' station was
larger than usual, both political
parties being pretty equally rep
resented.
Mr. Turpie (Detn., Ind.) reported
from the committee on foreign rela
tions the following:
Resolved, That from thefact9 and paper
lntd before the senate, it is unwise and
Inexpedient uuder existing conditions to
cousider at this timo any project of an
nexation of the Hawaiian territory to the
United States: that the provisional gov
ernment therein, having been duly recog
nized, the highest iuternational interests
require that it shall pursue its owu line of
policy: foreigu intervention in the political
aflairsor the islands win D i regained as
an net unfriendly to the government of
the United States.
MET WITH COMMITTEE'S FAVOR
Mr. Turpi said that the resolution
complied with the unanimous position
of the committee, save a dissent from
the senator from Oregon (Mr. Dolpb),
as to the tirst section. He had been
also directed by the committee to say
that the resolution had no relation to
the special investigation now pjudiug
before the committee. That was a sep
arate matter.
The resolution went over till tomor
row and was ordered to be printed.
The resolution offered bv Mr. Peffer
(Pop., Kan.), Jan. IS, declaring that
in the opinion of the senate
the secretary of the treasury
Inn no lawful authority for issuing and
selling bonds as proposed in his recent
notice, was laid before the senate an 1
Mr. Stewart (Rep , Neb.) spoke in sup
port of it. Much of his speech was
given to a rehearsal of the machina
tions of the "inner ring of the gold
combination." He denied the right of
the secretary to issue the proposed
bonds. At the close of Mr. Stewart's
remarks the resolution was referred to
the committee on finance.
The senate then resumed considera
tion of the house bill to repeal the
federal election laws, and was ad
dressed by Mr. Wilson (R9p., Iowa) in
opposition to it.
The election bill was laid aside in
formally and Mr. Cullom (Rep., III.)
addressed the senate in favor of the res
olution offered by Mr. Frye (Rep , Me. f
Jan. 8, declaring that pending the
investigation by the committee of for
eign relations, there should be no in
terference on the part of the United
States government by moral influence
or phvsic.il force, for the restoration of
the queen or the maintenance of the
provisional government in the Ha
waiian islands, The bill for the repeal
of the election laws was agaiu taken
tip and Mr. Chandler (Rap., N. H.) ad
dressed the senate in opposition to the
bill.
chandler's pointed ALLUSION.
In the course of Mr. Chandler's ar
gument he made a pointed allusion to
Senator Hill s knowledge of the alleged
fraud by which the last state senate of
New York had been made Democratic
and to Judge Maynard's part in that
npposed fraud; and he expressed the
hope that the present Republican leg
islature of New York would undo the
legislation resulting from that ''lar
ceny,'' andjthat the Democratic gover
nor of New York would have the good
sense aud patriotism to approve its ac
tion. At this point Mr. Chandler,
without concluding his argument,
yielded to a motion to proceed to exec
utive business, and afterward, at 5 p.
m., the senate adjourned until tomor
row. The sense of the hones in the matter
of free sugar was again ma le manifest
. when the smendiuent offered by Mr.
Warner (Dam., N. Y ) putting refined
sugar on the free lttt was reaffirmed,
while that of Mr. Robertson's (Dam.,
La.) amendment putting a tax on su
gar was defeated, thus leaving all
sugar sftee. The greater part of the
day was given up to a consider
ation of the free coal schedule,
but the only result achieved was to
show the existence in the Democratic
ranks of a number of members with
protectionist .proclivities. The iron
ore schedule was then taken up. but
the house wae unable to dispose of It in
the time that remained before recess,
so it went over until tomorrow.
During the debate on the coil sohed
nle Mr. Oatee (Dera., Ala. ) offered an
amendment striking ont coal from the
free list and putting a duty of 40 cents
a ton on it. and 20 cents a ton on stack.
Mr. Wise (Dern . Vn ) offered an amend
ment to this amendment, placing the
duty at 50 cents per ton. Mr. McKaig
(Dem . Md.) submitted a substitute
Urovidiug for- the retention of the
present law of 75 cents per ton on coal
and 80 cents per ton on stack. Mr.
McKaig gave as his reasons for asking
for protection on coal the fact
that tbe occupation of coal mining was
extra hazardous, and that the extra
men employed in it had to pay a tax
on the tools they used.
He was interrupted by Mr. Dalzell
(Republican, Pennsylvania,) who asked
if he had not voted the other day for
free rails.
"I did," replied Mr. McKaig. "but I
gave my reasons for it."
"I thought so," said Mr. Dalzell In a
self satisfied way.
Mr. McKaig -"s followed by Mr.
Raynor (DemocT.it, Maryland) who de
lirered an earnest and eloquent plea
for free coal.
DEMOCRATS OPPOSED,
Mr. Tnckur(Dem , Va,,) said he ad
vocated the amendment substituting
the coal schedule of the McKinley law
lor the corresponding provision of the
Wilson bill. Mr. Anderson (Dem., W.
Va.,) earnestly advocated the retention
of tue present duty. Mr. Oates (Dem ,
Ala.,) sid he did not come under the
classification of a protectionist for his
owu district and u free trader In every
other, for ttiere was not a particle of
coal In tbe district which lie rpre
sented, but he advocated a tariff on
coal iu the interest of the people,
Mr. Hicks (Ben., Pit ) spoke for Penn
sylvania in behalf of a tariff on coal.
Why coal should bo struck from the
duitable list had never been satisfac
torily explained He thought Penn
sylvania, Virginia, West Virginia,
Tennessee and Alabama and the other
coal producing states should stand
firmly for a tariff on coal.
Mr. Dalzell (Rep., Pa.,) said there
was no sectionalism in the production
of coal, and lioth Pennsylvania and the
south were equally interested. Destroy
the coal industry, said Mr. Dalzell, and
you strike a blow ut two classes of la
borers, the miners themselves, and the
vast army of oinplnyes engaged in the
transportation of coal. Wages of coal
miners iu Pennsylvania were double
the wages received by English eoal
miners. The employes of the trans
portation companies engaged ID carry
iug coal received (50 per cent, more
than tbeir English prototypes.
ALL AMENDMENTS REJECTED.
Mr. Turpiu (Dim.. Ala.), offend an
amendment to the substitute provi ling
than the tax of 70 cents per ton should
be decreased VH ueuts a year aud cease
altogether after tbe sixth years.
A vote was then taken on the amend
ment offered by Mr. Wise, raising the
tariff to 80 cents and it was defeated by
a viva voce vote. The vote was then
taken on the amendment offered by
Mr. Turpiu, and it was lost lyes, 2;
nays, 172. The substitute offered by
air. JlcK'iig to insert the provisions o'
the McKiulev law in place of the
clause iu the Wilson bill was defeated

Steamer Normannia Forced to Return to
New York ft Repairs.
New York, Jan. 23. The Hamburg
American line steamer Normunuia,
which sailed from this port for Genoa
last Thursday, returned today with her
forward deck house stove in. Captain
Hebich says that Sunday morning dur
ing a heavy easterly gale a tremendous
sea boarded the vessel over the bows,
smashing in forward rails and stanch
ions and staving in forward house and
flooding cabin.
Captain Hebich's story of the acci
dent is a vivid one. ''It was exactly
10 o'clock iu the morning," said he,
"when the lookout passed word aft
that three immense seas were dead
ahead of us. We had no sooner heard
of them than we felt them in all their
fury. The first was like a roaring cat
aract and it Doarded us, falling on the
foredeck with the roar of a cannon. It
seemed fully a minute before it cleared
away, and we had scarcely recovered
from the shock beforo tbe other two
were on us with a force tqual, if not
greater than the first.
"When they had gone we found that
the forward, deckhouse was smashed in
for twenty feet, the rails carried aw ay
end the stannhions demolished. The
cabins wore flooded." Those injured
by the mountainons masses of water
were seven m-uibers of the crew.

BISMARCK TO VISIT THE EMPEROR.
But There Is No Likdihood of His Tak
Intr Caprivl'a Place.
Berlin, Jan. 88 Tbe announcement
that Prince Bismarck has promised to
visit Emperor William has caused a
sensation here. Bismarck's friends in
the Reichstns assert that the emperor
was led to invite Bismarck to Berlin by
the recent midnight incident iu
the Reichstag. The emperor's
sense of uprightness, according to Bis
marck's friends, was shocked by the
public declarations that Prussia had
broken faith with Wurtomhiirg.

marck returned to power. O itsid of
tbe circle of enemies of Chancellor Von

GOV. WERTS' P. AN OF COMPROMISE
It Suits the Democrat!, but Republicans
Don't Like It.
Trenton, Jan. 23. Governor Werts,
it is reported, has asked Attorney Gen
ernl Stockton to file an Information
before Chief Justice Beasley, as a basis

Treasurer Zdl, of the Lehigh and
Wllkei-Brre Company, a Defaulter.
New York, Jan. 88. All doubts as
to why William Zell, treasurer of the
Lehigh nnd Wilkes-Barre Coal com
pany, and treasurer of the New York
Athletic club, disappeared mysterious
ly ou Friday last, have been removed.
He is a defaulter. His stealings were
from the petty oash account of the
company, of which he was an ofti :er.
But the company will not loso any
thing, us the bond given by Zdl covers
the amount stolen by him.
Z dl had been stealing from the com!
pauy for about two years. What he
has MKen iu all will not amount .to
$35,000 and perhaps not more than half
that. So far as the examination of Ihe
books have gone it shows that Zdl has
stolen 10.000 Detectives nr. n w
hunting for Zetl and it is expected that
they know where he is. It is not likely
the company will prosecute Zdl, unless
compelled to by the Fidelity aud Cas
ualty company.
Z 11 was 3(1 years of age nnd had been
in the employ or the Lehigh and
Wilkes-Birro Coal company for many
years. None ot the funds ot the New
York Athletic club had beeu touched
by Zell.

A stout defence was made of the
house by its occupants aud the bandits
were kept at a distance by tbe male
members of the farmer's family and a
number of servants, most of whom
had guns. The noise of the firing drew
a large number of the residents of the
town to the scene, and a combined at
tack was made on the bsuditf, who
were finally driven off During the at

HILL WILL FIGHT PECKHAM.
The Latter Said to Stand a Poorer
Chance Than Kornblower and
Cleveland Is Angry.
Washington, Jan. 23 There appears
to be very little room to doubt that the
New lork senators will be able to de
feat the confirmation of Peckhain The
indications are that they will have the
support of as many, if not more, Re-
publicaus than they had in the light
against Hnrnblower, and it is claimed
that a number of Domncrats who voted
for Horublower will vote against Peek-
hum.
Senator Hill will antagonize tbe
nomination in every possible logitimute
way, but he realizes the importance of
uction in the public interest and doubt
less will be willing to allow the tioui
inati ju to come to a voting test after
he shall have opportunity to place the
committee in possession of all the facts
and urguments in his possession against
the confirmation.
In the meantime Mr. Cleveland's
friends energetically back him up in
his course und claim to be glad to it he
has taken the linn Btaud. To those
who express surprise that Mr. Cleve-
and, after the Uornblower episode,
should not have choseu a machine
Democrat for the place, they say that
had Mr. Cleveland done any differently
Hill and Murphy would have believed
bim beaten and would have made his
