The Chnlrmftn of Cnmtnltt on For. iKn KlsMonl Openfl the febto ftnd CJlTfia Rckiod Why We Should Hmn the llnad. Washington, Jan. 12. Excppt for a few minutes Riven to a controversy over pome minor pnstofflce confirma tion the entire time of the executlv ppshI n of the senate was consumed by Senator Davis of Minnesota In a speech In support of Hawaiian annexation. Mr. Davis Is chairman of the senate com mittee on foreign relations, and his speech was generally accepted as the semiofficial utterance of the majority of the committee. He spoke for about two hours and when the senate adjourned had not milBhed. The speech was the first upon the merits of the treaty, and on this account and because of the known fact that Senator Davis had made a very careful Invest pratlon of the subject he received the undivided atten tion of the members of the senate re gardless of Individual views. The portion of the speech delivered consisted of a review of the relations between this country and Hawaii dur Iiir the history of these islands and was Intended to show that the United States had exercised a fostering and protect ing care over them from the thinning, with many evidences of the "Tntentlon ultimately of making them an Integral portion of the American domain. "I ap proach this question," the senator be gan, "with, I hope, a due senBe of the responsibility Imposed upon me In be ginning a debate the result of which may be of momentous consequence to the future welfare of both this country and the Hawaiian islands. The ques tion," he continued, "is one of impor tance so vast that one must of necessi ty approach it with a certain degree of tfhildlty, because It is very difficult to present all the points Involved as they should properly lie presented, however much care and attention one may have given to the subject." One strong point which Mr. Davis dwelt upon at considerable length was the desirability of these islands, not only to this country but to all the lead ing powers of the woild. "We," he Bald, "should take the Islands while we have the opportunity, and If we do not want them it will be a very easy matter for us to get rid of them on our own terms." He showed that they would be a very Important territorial acquisition to ei ther Japan, England or Russia and ex pressed the opinion that either of those powers would take the islands off our hands at any time we might make knowi our desire to he rid of them. It would be easy, enough, he said, to turn them over to some other country in case we find them to be an undesirable acquisition. Put who will say that it will be so easy for us to take them at some future time In case we voluntarily deprive ourselves of the present oppor tunity? Civil Service Debate Knded. The civil service debate which was Inaugurated In the house a week agj ended yesterday. It opened with a row, but ended very tamely. There was not even a vote on the appropriation In th3 legislative, executive and Judicial ap propriation bill. The Republicans whu are seeking to modify or repeal the law decided to let the debate come to a close, but It required the casting vote o the speaker to accomplish this. There are conflicting statements as to the situation in which the future con duct of the war against the civil service law Is left. All the Republican oppo nents of the law agree that the fight 1 to be kept up, and it Is positively stated by Mr. Pearson (Rep.) of NorthCarollna that assurances have been received from those In authority in the house that an opportunity will be given in the future for the consideration of a bill to modify the law. Hut from other sources the statement cannot be confirmed. The debate yesterday was quite dull until the closing hour, when Mr. Simp son, the Kansas Populist, enlivened it with some references to the Ohio sena torial election. Mr. Bailey, the Demo cratic leader, made a clear statement of the minority position, which Indi cates that the minority will vote to re peal but not to modify the law. Tha principal speech of the day was mr.iil by Mr. Brossius, chairman of the civil service eommlttee, who defended thJ law in a two hour speech. Mr. Davidson of Wisconsin Introduce! a bill to Incorporate the Maritime Canal company of North America, to be sub ject to the control of the Interstate commerce commission and to begin op erations within five years. The compa ny Is authorized to construct and op erate a navigable channel, channels of canals connecting the great American lakes and navigable waters tributary to the Atlantic ocean, of a depth of 2J feet, and the locks, which are not tt exceed ten in number between the great lakes and the Atlantic tidewater, arii required to be large enough to admit craft 550 feet long, 65 feet wide and 21 feet draft. The Put Week'a Proceedings. Washington, Jan. 6. Congress reas sembled yesterday after the holiday re cess, and both branches were absorbed In civil service discussions. In the house the debate was based on the pro posed appropriation for the civil service commission. In the senate the discus sion arose In connection with the census bill and the report of Secretary Sher man as to the working of the civil serv ice rules In the state department. Washington. Jan. 7. In the senate a few minor bills were passed. In the house the discussion of the civil service question was continued, the principal speakers being Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio and Mr. Johnson of Indiana, the formef being in favor of the proposed modifi cations and the latter defending the ex isting law. Washington, Jan. 8. The house yes terday continued Its debate on the civil service law. Amos Cummlngs made a speech condemning the merit system ami eulogizing Tammany Hall. In the senate Mr. Teller made a speech on the silver question, in which he de nounced the Republican party and said he would do all he could to defeat it in, lsoo. Washington, Jan. 11, The senate yes terday In executive session began Its consideration of the Hawaiian annexa tion treaty. A motion for an open de bate was defeated. The house continued to discuss the civil service law. Oppo nents of the merit system expect event ually to secure a madincatlou of th IHtjtent law. Uurre.ni Ueuged ml Leal. San Quentln, Cal., Jan. 8.

NEW JERSEY LAWMAKER3. nof Toorheea Chon President of the Senate and Will Be Acting Governor. Trenton, Jan. 12. The legislature Is now fully organised and ready for busi ness. Senator Voorhees, upon being elected president of the senate, made an ad dress In which he thanked his colleagues for the honor conferred upon him, which, having In mind that the election as president of the senate enade him acting governor, he said was a great one. Senator Francis Introduced a bill pro viding for an assistant prosecutor In counties of from 76.000 to 100.000 popu lation which now have no such offi cial. Senator Reed introduced, a bill pro viding that telegraph poles and wires SENATOR VOORHEES. shall constitute personal property for taxing purposes In the district In which they are located. After the organization of the house by the formal election of the Republic an caucus nominations Assemblyman Gledhlll introduced a resolution that a committee of five, Including the speak er, be appointed to Investigate the al leged maladministration of Justice In Hudson county, as recommended by the governor's message. The resolution gave the committee power to supbeeno witnesses and to send for papers; also to meet during the legislative recess if necessary. Assemblyman Allen of Hud son, the Democratic lender of the house, offered an amendment that the Investi gation also extend to Camden, Mercer and Atlantic counties. He said that Hudson county welcomed an lnvestfga tlon, but unless the house Intended to extend the Investigation to other coun ties he was constrained to believe that the resolution was not prompted by a desire to learn the truth, but as a mat ter of political buncombe. Mr. Allen'a amendment was voted down by a strict party vote, and the original resolution Introduced by Mr. Gledhlll was then adopted. Nominated by Governor Grfgga. Trenton, Jan. 12.

SUES FOIL MILLIONS. DR. HERZ'S CLAIM FOR DAMAGES AGAINST FRANCE. He Lays His Complaint Itefore the Stat Department at Waolilnttnn, by Whom It la Taken Under Advlieinent He De mands 000,000 Prom Prance. Washington. Jan. 11. Messrs. Dltten hoefer, Lauterbach and Llmburger, counsel for Dr. Cornelius Hers, have appeared before Solicitor Penfield at the state department and presented a claim for Indemnity in the strm of 85, 000,000 against the French government for an alleged attempt to persecute Dr. Hers. The case Is remarkable In many ways and it Is said at the depart ment Is without a precedent. The facts in brief are that Dr. Hers, whose name stands very high in scien tific circles as an electrician and phys icist, although born In France of French parents, Is an American citizen. When he was about 3 years of age, his parents came to New York and acquired Amer ican citizenship. Young Hers was educated In the New York Free academy, now the College of the City of New York, and received two degrees. He rounded this out by courses In Heidelberg and other great European universities. At the age of 18 years he was a lieutenant In the United States army. In 1871 he was charged by the municipal authorities of Chicago with a mission In connection with the recon struction of that city after the fire. He afterward held posts of responsibility end honor In San Francisco and New York. Meanwhile his fame as an elec trician had spread, and he did much tn extend the study of this branch of sci ence besides establishing, as his brief claims, the forerunner of one of the largest of the great electrical corpora tions now in existence In this country. Harried an Amerloan Woman. He married an American woman, and when his children were born In Paris he caused them to be registered as Amer ican citizens at the consulate. His troubles began on Jan. 10, 1S08. He was stopping at Bournemouth, England, with his wife, In bad health, when he was arrested under extradi tion proceedings on a warrant from lis DR. CORNELIUS HERZ. French government charging him with fraud and embezzlement growing out of the Panama scandal. Under the lew a prisoner wanted for extradition must appear at the Bow street police court- Hers was confined to his bed and so unable to appear. The case was kept open, and he wai continued under arrest In his bed fouf years, during 1893-4-5-6. Then the Brit, lsh parliament came to his relief and passed a special act that permitted the magistrate to attend Hers's bedside and take his testimony. This was done, and the magistrate promptly declared that the charges were utterly Invalid and scarcely deserving of notice. That was on May 2, 1896, and Hera was released from arrest. Meanwhile the " French government had Instituted numerous proceeding against him In France and confiscated all of the property of himself and of his wife. Dr. Hera alleges that this wai persecution, pure and simple, and that the French government knew that thi charges against him were baseless be. fore his trial. Therefore, claiming to have been In jured In name and health and In other ways, he demands that the state de partment shall prefer a claim against the French government In full. Al though he names no special sum, the brief shows that he demanded the sum of $5,000,000 In a letter he sent to the president of the French republic, but which was never answered. The Stat I department has taken the case undef advisement. VICTORY FOR HANNA. Carries tha Ohio Leglalatnre on Separatj Ballots by One Majority. Columbus, O., Jan. 12.
