2 THE SCU ANTON TKIBTTNE-MOXDAY MORNING. JANUARY 2S, 1895. PROCRME OF THE WEEK Forecast of the Kork Tbat Will Come before Congress. THE STRUGGLE OVER HAWAII Will Probably Dud in tho Passage of a Resolution Condemning the Adminis tration's Part in the Kuuipus In theSugurCuno Land. By tho United Press. Wnshlng'ton, Jan. 20. The adoption by the senate yesterday by a majority of two votes of Vest's substitute for Mr. Allen's Hawaiian resolution Is but ithe bpftliinlrig of a struwfle that will probably continue during this week, und as Republicans confidently predict, will end In the passage of a resolution condemning the administration for the jjart it has taken in Hawaiian affairs. Ulr. Vest's substitute, which now forms the basis of the discussion in .the sen ate, but which lias not yet received llnal atllrmutlve action, will not be permitted to come to a vote for some days. It prevailed yesterday by the aid of two .Republican votes Messrs. Powers and I'ettlgrew. The former, It ia said, will not support the resolution when it comes up In the senate fur formal disposition. The Vest substitute endorses the policy of non-intervention nnd tin- Allen resolution declares for annexation and the statloaiing of ships of war at Honolulu. All the I'opullsts are In favor of Mr. Allen's resolution, which has been tem porarily displaced by the Vest substi tute, and the Republicans are said to tie of the same mind with the single exception of Mr. I'ettlgrew. There will ll two accessions to the Republican vote before ithe week Is over in the per sons or Mr. Mantle and Mr. Clark to till the Wyoming vacancy. Mr. Mantle is expected to reach Washington early In llie week. Mr. Clark is on his way here. This will give the opponents of -Mr. Vest's substitute the majority vote and will enable them to pass such a resolu tion as they may desire. The Republicans declare ithey will not permit any llnal vote to be taken until .they have their lull strength In the senate, and will consume the morning hour each day on the Hawaiian matter. Mr. Teller, In line with this policy, will continue his speech Monday, and will probably be followed by other Republi cans until such time as they see lit to allow the vote to be taken. linsincss ill the House. The house will begin the week's busi ness tomorrow under some uncertainty vt the order in which It will be prosecut ed. Although the consideration of the bill repealing the differential duty on pugar wis begun yesterday and is a privilege d matter, no certain assurance can be given s to when its considera tion will be concluded. Mr. Wilson has said that ho would not at present ask for a rule to close debate and members of the committee on rules have not been advised by him as to his wishes In this matter. Tomorrow will be open for a continuance of the discussion, but judging from the manner In which it started Saturday one day will by no means afford sutlicleiit time for all who wish to speak to be heard. The com mittee on rules have agreed to give the Pari He Railroad company Tuesday and Wednesday for consideration of the funding bill, but it Is intimated that if Mr. Wilson insists on keeping the sugar duty 'bill before the house until dlcposal of the Pacific Railroad bill will be postponed. The committee on naval affairs have i'ven notice that their ap propriation i 111 be called up Fri day. Should the K.cilie Railroad bill get the floor It will be the first time, with one exception, in seventeen years that a bill directly affecting the Union and Central Pacific Railway companies has come before the house. The last Pacillc railroad legislation was the Thurman Mil, which provided that both roads should pay into the sinking fund 2."i per cent, of their net earnings for the extinguishment of their debts. The law has been faithfully complied with, but the sums received from the companies have not been sufficient to pay the in terest, t say nothing of the principal. The JtelHy bill, which Is the one to be considered next week, provides for the adjustment of the d'bt by applying the moneys In the sinking fund to the pay ment of the first mortgage bonds and at'iiulrlng the directors and stockhold ers to furnish whatever additional amount may be necessary. The obligation to the government will then be continued for a period of fifty years, the companies paying the Inter est at the rate of I! per cent, per on num with semi-annual payments on the principal until the debt has been, fully liquidated. Messrs. Itoatner, of Loulslnana; Cooper, of Wisconsin, and Harris, of Kansas, will oppose the measure. These gentlemen, Mr. Reilly says, prefer a different method of settlement, but the other twelve members of the committee are agreed that the Reilly bill provides the best means of settlement. The rep resentatives from the Pacific coast will oppose the .measure because of their objection to any extension of time for the payment of the Central Pacllllc in debtedness. x FOIt SEW BATTLE SHIPS. Representative Tnlbott Introduces on Addition to Nuvul Appropriation 1)111 Relating to Torpedo Boats. Ey the 1'nlted Press. Washington, Jan. 27. Representative Talbott has prepared an addition to the committee report recommending the passage of the naval ppropriatlon bill relating to the provision for the construction of three battleships and twelve torpedo boats. He onys this Is substantially the last payment on ac mm trla MAKES' p j3UHUfej7lbaSilQ AND count of the vessels provided for by law. Unless new constructions are au thorized expenditures under this head will fall with great rapldlfy after the next fiscal' year and thereafter entirely disappear from the annual appropria tions. It is estimated that with the ex penditure of not more than $750,000 for the fiscal year ending June, 30, 18H7. tho existing new navy will have been entirely paid for and that the expendi tures under "Increase navy'" will de crease at one bound from the amount asked far this year, $13,259,292, to $750,000 us stated. Without considering the effect of the cessation of this work on industrial conditions, thereportcontlnucd.and dis claiming all obligation of the govern ment to engage in public works for the purpose of giving employment to any class, however deserving, the commit tee urge that from the standpoint of national defence it will be unwise to stop entirely the work of naval upbuild ing; that wisdom and fxperieuce de mand that the present weili-organlzcd, highly-trained and exceedingly elilelent body of mechanics and skilled laborers engaged in the work of na val fhip build ing shall not, at least, be entirely dis banded. With .the stoppage of tills work many large plants now at work for the navy will have to shut down either completely or In part, and their corps of skilled workmen employed in the various phases of naval construc tion anil development be dlschaigi-d and scattered, while the plant and ma chinery for the production of vessels of war must of necessity become idle and be allowed to deteriorate.

The detailed report of .the op"i'ation and output lot' tho ConiK llsville coke re gion for the week ended on Saturday, Jan. 19, shows 11,270 ietive, and :i,5til idle ovens with ia tutu! estimated pro duction of 1 10.MS tons. Compared with the production of the previous week this was a decrease of 3,222 'tons. In the active list of ovens there was a de crease, of 451. Philadelphia. Inquirer: "The annual xtport f the 1 lxware, Lackawanna and Wiistern ml I road affords cumula tive evidence of the distress of the uu thcucite carriers. Although the road transported 7,S--,!7li tons of coal as ugiir.ot 7,934, Snj ilons In ISM, when the maximum tonnage was reached, yet the road failed ti?H.rn its dividend for the time since the great co.il war of 1873. The company reports a deficit of $196,656, aind its .net earnings on the. stock 'were Junt 6.21 per cent. The iv.-t earnings re.pairUd for 1S91 wire tho Muallef a of any year since 182 tlvat is since the bu'lncsns of the road attained Its present proportions. The significant feature of the eta'tement is not the loss in profits, for nil roads through out the country are making kiss money than a yp.ur ago, but it is that the re duced profits ww made on practically the same caail tonnage. In only two y?a.rs prior to 1S91 did the Lacka wanna carry more caai than it did last ye .ir, and the difference In either year wa.j not important. The reason for the .bad statement is cus'.ly found: it Is the same r.sisun that cut down the Lehigh Valley until it earned only its llxed charges, that cut dawn the Read ing until lit did mot earn its full inter est prior to the gvnei'al mortgage bonds, and that cut down the New Jersey Central until it Is qucsticma.ble whether it has really earned anything for lt3 stockholders. That reason Is the re duction in tidewater freight rates. Thirty cents a ton has been thrown away and it 4s 30 e: nts in net profits. It mwins neo.riy $12,000,000 a ymr to the holders of securities of the anthracite coa.1 roads. And the companli s ore be ginning the yeirr with no prospect of remedying the situation. The contest is still gi!ng on between the companies, coal is selling lower than dt ever fold in 1S94, and the prospects are for slill lower ccuil prices and still lower freight ii j :rs before this war is ended, and the anthracite companies are once more placed on a proper basis." Philadelphia Stockholder: "The an thraelte trade situation, .in so far its it refers to the effort to readjust per centages, J without change, and is likely to continue, so for the next week or ten days. Thi-re is no doubt that the several interests are endeavoring in every way possible to better the situa tion. The Lackawanna, of the more prominent Interests, and a number of the smaller operators, form the stumbling-block to an early adju-tlmntit of present difllculties. At the first meet ing of presidents of the coal roads Vice-President Fahncstock, of (lie Jer sey Central, informed the meeting that If something were not done, und done oon, the l.ckn.wanna would not earn dividends nor the Jersey Central Inter nal charges. The latter company i3 earnest in its desire to improve the con dition of the trade, and is understood to be willing to make certii.in conevs slu.nn. Several other large producers are In harmony wlt'h the Jersey Central on this point, but their efforts s-o far have been handiompped by the Indiffer ent .attitude assume:! by the Iacka winna, and the smaller operators re ferred to. ..A gentleman well informiil on coal matters, ppeaklng of the situa tion yesterday, ci'id he thought the various stetckholdi is should take the matter in hand themselves and tuach representatives that the time feir squandering their money In useless nnd profitless competition had passed. Not one of the presidents of 'the coal roads, 110 said, would take the position they have and display as much indifferences to the Interests they represent If losses came from their pockets, Instead of from stockholders. As the latter's rep resentalvea no longer seem nble to handle the coal business successfully, the gentilenran argued that the stock holders Interested should see to It that ofllolals were elected who would do Justice to their Intcirests, Instead of en dangering them, as now." MISTON SCOTS BANQUET Caledonians Honor the Anniversary of Hubert Hums. liKl'TAL ACT 01' AN ENGINEER A Tiro in the Sinclair House-Traffic oitt the l.chigh Valley KullroaJ Delayed by a Wreck at l.ackuwuuna Junction. Special to the Seranton Tribune Pittston, Pa., Jan. 27. Nearly 200 peo ple gathered at Kagle hall on Friday night to celebrate the one hundred and thirty-sixth anniversary of the birth ot Itobert Iiurns, giveu.under the auspices of the Pittston Caledonian club. The celebration was the largest nnd most enthusiastic given in many years by the ever jovial Pittston clan, and will be long remembered by all who partici pated in It. At S.30 Chief Andrew C. CampbMl called the assemblage to or der and congratulated the club on their efforts to exced all preceding celebra tions, lie then invited all present to partake of the sumptuous feast the. committee had prepared. C. 1. A. Chapman Invoked Divine blessing, af ter which all proceeded to gorge them selves with elaborate and bountiful upri'ad of "gulel oaten meal" and an array of "auld countra," as well as new land viands. After the repast was an interesting and highly educational programme which produced an elevated and sympa thetic feeling to all, and especially to the veteran Scots as their minds re turned to the land of their birth and the many pleasantries of their boyhood. Toast-master Andrew Campbell arose, and called upon A. J. Colborn, of Scran ton, for the first toast, "itobert Hums." Jlr. Colborn hold his attentive audience spellbound fully .thirty minutes by his Interesting address, from which we quote a few sentences: "Tonight go. back and pay our tribute to the greatest poet the world has ever known." "The world bows its head to elo honor to Hubert P.urns." "The poet for the people, of the people and by the people." Mr. Colborn concluded his ad dress with references to one of Burn's greatest works, "The Cotter's Saturday Night." Aaron Mitchell next Interested the listeners with a song entitled "llonnle Jean," which he rendered In a Scotch dialect. ToastmastiT Campbell called on C. I. A. Chapman to respond to the toast ' Industries tr Wyoming Valley." .Mr. Chapman, being an old pioneer, re; c.'iilled many Interesting reminiscences of his early days In the valley and ex pressed himself as delighted with its extensive and rapid growth. Mr. Chap man cjiicluded w ith an article prepared by himself on Burns, and by reciting the poem, "Highland Mary." John Cov.vn next brought back the thoughts of the old days in Scotland by the song, "How Ye O'er the Clyde." Charles Law was culled upon to re spond to the toast "Our Native and Our Adopted Country." Mr. Law interest ed the -audience with many outbursts of wit a ml expressed a desire that more of th. Scottish nation would come to this country and replace our present alien population. James Rich ardson then sang a song, entitled "Cale donia." all Joining in the refrain. Wal ter Watson next recited In beautiful style "Man's Inhumanity to Man." Archie Lindsay, of Plains, enter tained the club with a song, entiltled "Afton Water," ami Thomas Nelson re.'ited (.he poem, entitled "The Faith ful Leg." David Dick amused the au dience with a comic song, entitled "Susan's Sunday Out." Andrew Muir wis requested to enter tain the ..lull with a concertina sele'C tion. He was recalled and replied with the "Blue Hells of Scotland." Dr. D. L. Husa responded to the toast "The Army and Navy" with very interesting re marks. With a few promisclous selections the literary entertainment closed, and the Moor w;is 1 ared for the old-time dance which all enjoyed until the wee hours of the morning. .Miscellaneous News Notes. Justice committed J mini McDormett to the Luzerne county Jail on Saturday on the charge of assault and battery. Mi-Dormett was a participant in a gen eral fight on Friday night t Captain Burns' hotel, Jjuryeu. A fire was l. i.-atrd in the kitchen of the Sinclair House at midnight Sat urday. The dining room. Kitchen and contents of the cellar were much dam aired.

Admission, childivn, 1.1 cents; adults, 35 and !iU cents. Traflle on the Lehigh Valley, near Lehigh and Bloomsburg station, was delayed nearly two hours early Satur day morning by the derailing of four cars. The wreck was caused by the bieaklng of an axle on a coul jimmy. The Coxton wrecking crew were or dered out and cleared the tracks with their usual rapidity. Knglneer Pulver, of the Coxton yard, and his flreninn, a Hungarian, failed to agree In the discharge of their duties on Saturday morning last. After some words they engaged In manual contest In which Pulver se-lzed a break stick and struck his antagonist on the head, causing u contusion of the skull. The fire-man regained consciousness after about twenty minutes. It Is reported that Pulver Fins been somewhat tyran nical and exacting In .the duties Im posed upon his fireman, who bore the misuse so long an his temper would allow.

Pa. . . 1XT0 A HXE SUMMER RESORT. Scovlllc's Islund Will lie Transformed by the building of a Hold and a llridge to Klvcr Street, West Pittslon. Spuclal to tho Seranton Tribune. Pittston, Jan. 27. Since 186S the own ership of the valuable tract of land known as Scoville's Island, which is situated in the Susquehanna, river Just apposite the West Pittston cemetery, had been a matter of uncertainty, and during the past nine years a matter of litigation until last week, when these liiflie-.ultles were adjusted through the Island's purchase by W. S. Tompkins. The .Inland contains fifty acres, is sit uated a.love sulphur water, has a fine, fihuded circumference driveway ulmost a mile in length, Is .high and dry In all kinds of weather and offers exceptiemal facilities for a pleasure park, a state fair ground or a summer resort. The rivor on cither side is well Btocked with line bass; a number of excellent lakes ure within easy access and If the sum med hotel which Is projected by Seran ton and Wilkcs-liurre capitalists upon this Island should be built as planned, Pittston would undertibtcdly gain a lib eral sliare of the summer tourist trade. It luiis already been decided to erect a bridge from lilver street, West Pitts ton, to the island, and the company for this purpose will on Monday or Tues day make application for a charter. Several years ago the island was sought by the state fair authorities as a site for that lan'ge exhibit, but Ina bility to give a clear deed Interrupted the lie-gotlatlons. Now that the Island's ownership Is fixed, It Is safe to predict important developments in the near future, developments which will be of general Interest In the twin valleys. - IT WILL PAY you to take Hood's Sar sapurlllu.
