The secretary com- municated the facts to the president und sub- sequently replied to Minister Carter, express- ing for the president deep regret that Hawaii has losta wise and good sovereign, under whose beneficient rule the people of Hawaii have prospered and whose efforts have been 8o constantly and signally put forth to strengthen the ties ot mutual advantage between that kingdom and the United States. He further requested the minister to convey to the royal family the heartfelt sympathy the resident feels “for their great afiction. 'here will be no further action by the execu- tive until ofticlal notice shall have been re- ceived of the formal installation of Queen Lilmokalani. Iustructions, however, have been sent the general commanding the naval 1orces on the Pacific to pay full military and naval honors to thedead king. Acting under these instructions the armyand nay thorities of San Francisco have assumed charge of the funeral arrangements and the transfer of the remains to the fiag ship Charleston will be marked by the highest military honors authorized by the regula- tions. The Charleston will make the trip to Honolulu us rapidly as possible and will re- main at that port to participate in the cere- monies attending the burial of the king and the coronation of his successor, and will at the same time see that the interests of this country are fully proteeted.

Dr. W. J. Holtzsclaw was today n‘i,poiutcfl on the pension board at Impevial, Neb. Penny S. Hean, today what the parpose of his resolution was. “Of course the interstate commerce com- mission was created to deal with such abuses,” said he, *“but the fact thatthey will not attempt to interfere with that huge pool gives me as a member of congress aright to have that pool investigated and to show up the methods of the thieves and robbers who are parties to it. Inside of the next five years somo of them will be inside the peni- tentiary., Underthis pooling reement if an agent comas tome and says he is with the Chicago & Rock Island road he misrepre- sents the fact, for under this pooling agree- ment the agents represent the pool instead of the companies, It is morely a plan for cut- ting off competition.’” Mr., Anderson’s attention was directed to the recent report of Senator Cullom of tho interstate commerce commission, which au- thorized the pooling of business, but not of carnings. It has been contended for this that the most vicious features of pooling were avoided by limiting the pool to traffic and not to earnings, “Butitisall the same thing," sail Mr. Anderson, “for if two people go into partner ship and divide on part of the business they must eventually divide on the whole, ‘I'raftic and earnings ar so intimately counccted that the line cannot be drawn between a pool on one and an anti-pool on the other, A pooling of one will result ina pooling of both. Tam not familiar with the é) iom amend- ment, but as to the general principle that o pool in one branch of the business means a pool throughout there 15 no doubt.” Mr. Anderson’s assault on the clation comes at the very tin most anxious that congr v amending and rel s of the interstate law.

WasniNeroy, Jan, 21.—~The silver pool in- vestigating committeo resumed its session this morning. Dockery of Missour: said he had no personal knotvledge of speculation by senators or representatives. Had heard no congressman say he as interested in any silver pool, but heard Senator Vest say that a senator or member—he could not remem- ber what—was implicated. * ! Francis G. Newland of Neyada testified that he had made a little mouey out of silyer speculation. No senator, representative or officer of the government was interested with him directly or indirectly. i Joseph Krickey of Fuiton, Mo.. testified that he was a banker and last spring pur- chused silver for speculation. No one was interested with him and ho kuew nothing of speculation by others, Senator Vest said in part that neither di- vectly nor indirectly did he everat any time have any interest in silver, and’ knew noth- g whatever about it of his knowledge.

This resolution of course excited some comment among Missourians, it being suid -that a Mis- souri senator or Tepresentative was con- ned, aud in connection with that matter Senator Cameron said he had bought silyer— ‘I am pretty positive he saydi®was after the bill was voted on. He mot think ‘he had done an: make that statement before 8 committee. He thought he had as much vigat to do that as to buy corn and wheat or any other com- modity. His action had not been influenced by his interests because it was arter the thing was over. Cameror. said he bought it after legislation was passed in the senate; that David T. Littler managed the matter for him. Cameron swid Littler came to him and told him he could make money buying silver; that he (Littler) was going to buo some. Cameron said he told Littler w buy some for him and Littler bought and sold it for him.” extremely bitter, as the hard words used in debate will show. The cause of all the trou- ble is the election bill, which Messrs, Hoar and Spooner are determined to pass. They have no expectation of seeing the bill upon the statute books because the measure now gvndlng in the senate must go back to the ouse again, and there are only six weeks left of this session of congress. ~ It is per- fectly apparent that the bill must fail, but the republican leaders insist upon foveing it to the front to establish a principle, The democrats in the senate feel that they are fighting for free speech. They will resist to the last degree the enforcement of the rules that Mr. Reed has introduced in the house of representatives, and the republicaus cannot overcome thom without they resort to the most arbitrary rulings on the part of the presiding offic Mr. Morton will not make these rulings. He intends to be fair, and he will give the minority all the chances that they are entitled to. It is impossible, there- fore, for the republicans to win, and most of the senators on that side roalize it. Three- fourths of them are very impatient undcr the preseut conditions, and it 18- not probable that they will sustain Mr, Hoar and Mr. Spooner for a great while longer, particularly as each one has some pending legislation that he wants disposed of before congress ad- Littler Whispors, Curcado, Jan. 21.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—D.

Moody's Chances for the Senatorship More Favorable. Pienng, S, D., Jan. 21.—|Special Telegram to T Ber.]—Both houses met in joint ses- sion at noon with the speaker in the chair. A balot for United States senator was taken, which resulted as follows: Moody 76, Pres- ton 3, Melville 1, Lovel, Norton 1, Pickler 1, Tripp 24, Harden 20, Wardall 10, Crose 15, Cosand 9, Campbell 5, Scott 2, Dye 1. God- dard (dem.) cast his vote for Moody, Of the scattering republican votes, Bachs, Davis and Raymond voted for Preston and Donohue for Melville. Tux Brg correspondent has in- terviewed the four republicans and finds that while they are much™ opposed to voting for Moody, they will do so when their votes will_securo his election. ~ Where sufficient other votes to gve Moody a majority are coming from it is difficult tosurmise. The friends of the other candidates are pressing their claims to be tried in Moody’s place as the party's candidate. It is probable that Moody will ut least stand for some time vet. The indications tonight being favorable to seating the members from Lawrence county, makes Moody’s chances more favora- ble than for several duys, There was little business transacted in the legislature today. The senate only met to take o jomnt ballot on senator. The house met for consideration of the Lawrence county contest cases, but the journal not being ready and adjournment was “taken, The house met at 3 o'clock this afterncon and took up con- test cases in_committee of the whole. Ad- journment was finally taken. without any ac- tion, until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't Like the Forea Bill, Gresham. When asked by Tue Bee cor- respondent if he bad anything to say about the pool's enistence, of which a member of congress had declared he could tell a groat deal, the commissioner pushed his big slonch hat back on his head and looking the ques- tioner in the eye, said: *‘Nota — thin “Have you been subpauaed to testify fore the committee !’ With one of those whispers for which Mr. Littler is famous he replied: * “No, but I am going to Washington tonight. When T get there the first thing Isha'l do will be to go before the committee and rip some of those —— —— rascals up the back.” Pulling his slouch hat over his eyes, he re: sumed ; “Dockery says Tknow alof. DIl tell just what I know and Ili do it under oath.” journs, The performunces now going on in the house are the rosultof sympathy witn the senate. The democratic representatives have agreed and are_determined o keop upa five in the rear as long as the republicans force the election bill upon the attention of the sen- ate. This rear fire is quite as damaging as any other, as there are pending in the house & large number of senate bills which ought to be passed_before adjournment. The appro- priation bills are all behind. They were never so much so, and if both houses knuckled down_to honest work they conid not do more than dispose of them before March 4, which s so near at hand. Itis the intention of the republicans to pass a bill extending existing appropriations for six months, which will provide for the government up to January 1 next, but thedemocrats will oppose any such legislation so asto make an extra ses- sion of the next congress necessary. Alto- gether the situation is very discouraging to one who is interested in pending legislation, and is more like f to grow worse than better unless the republicans should drop the elec- tion bill and attena to necessary business, LINDSAY NOMINATED REGISTER AT M'COOK.

Toreka, Kan, Jan. 21.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bre.)—The house of represen- tatives spent the entire afternoon today de- ciding important measures for congress.

Mr. Warner is needed here immediately, as the appropriations for charitable instit tions of the District are hanging fire in con- gross and there1s no one to allot the appro- priations when thoy are mado and look after the details of the management.

Inamoment Mr. McKinloy was on his feet with a demand for the previous duestion on the approval of the journal and he was recognized by the speaker. The previous question was ordered and Mr. Mills claimed the floorjand his claim was recognized by the speaker. Thercupon Mr. Mills yielded the floor to Mr. Bland, who suidl he understood that a resolution was to be reported from the committee on rules to limit debate upon appropriation bills, Ho wished to offer an amendment that a certain day should be fixed for consideration of the senate silver bill, The speaker said the pending question was pon the approval of the journal, Mr. Bland—I suppose the speaker intends to chrottle this bill either in committee or in the house. [Cheers on the democrutic side.| Mr. Bland then read his proposed subsitute, making the free coinage bill the continual order from and after Janual Mr. Rogers of Arkansas said the demo- crats wanted a fair administration of the rules which the speaker had himself made. “Whenever,” he said, indicatingthe speaker, “you or any other gentleman—and you cially, because you hold the third highest fon in the gift of the people—violate the rules you are a revolutio and you de- stroy the dignity of the high station You are called upon to fill.” Mr, Henderson of Illinois—How long is the house to be subjected to this disorder! How wuch longer is the house to sit and hear its speakeri nsulted day by day? The speaker—The chair desires to sa the house that ono reason why ho expects in due time his services to this country will be appreciated is because of the virulent attacks made upon him, the perscnal nature and character of which the house can understand. The chair has endeavored at all times to ad- minister the rules of the bouse as under- ood them and as the house sustained his de- cisions. The chair will continueso to do as long us he occupies the exalted position to which he was elected. Mr. Mills of Texas said the chair had not given the house or the country any reason or authority for his decision yesterday (velative to the approval of the journal), but he simply informed the house, “Iam Sir Oracte, and when I open my mouth let no dog bark.” The Speaker—The gentleman’s time has expired.

Mr. MeMillan of Tennessce attacked the comniitteo on rules for bringing in the resolu- tion and Mr. Cannon defended its action. Mr, McComas of Maryland said the major- ity of the house would rule and in the face of all obstruction would support the brave and manly administration which had stood by the banner of the republican rule. Mr. McKinley suid it was manifest to the house and to the country that the minority intended toresort to every obstructive tactic 1n order to stop all legislation until it should be settied that a certain bill now pending in the senate shou!d be laid aside or defeated. These tactics were not new. He gave tho gentlemen notice that so foras the republican majority was concerned it did not propose to turn its baek upon alaw providing for an honest vote. ‘The majority would stay here until the clock struck 12 on the 4th of March in order to put upon the statute books a law preserve the integrity of elections, Mr. Bland moved to recommit the resolu- tion with instructions to the committee on rules to report a resolution discharging the committee on coinage, weights and measures from any further consideration of the silver bill, and further providing that the bill shall be rade a special order for January 27. A pomnt of order against the resolution was sustained by the chai Messrs. McMillan, Springer and others pro- tested against the ruling, but the speaker ro- fused to entertain their appeal, and also ruled out of order a motion by Mr. Springer to adjourn, "The clerk proceeded to call the roll on the adoption of the resolution reported by Mr. Cannon, and it resulted—yeas, 153; nays, 124, Tho house finally went into committe of the whole on the District of Columbia ap- propriation bill. “After debate the committee rose and reported the bill to the house, Vhile the roll was being called onan amendment a body of democrats lett the hall, leaving a bare half dozen of their members The result was that no quorum voted and th speaker, being unable to note a quorum, the house adjourned. Senate. WasnINGToN, Jan. 21.—In the senate today, assoon as the journal of yesterday was read, it was moved to correct it by striking out the words stating that Mr. Aldrich’s motion to proceed to consideration of the resolution as to the closure was determined in the affirma- tive. He asserted that this had not occurred and the result of the vote was never an- nounced. Heread from the record to sustain his position and expressed his belief that the senate would not permit a journal to stand which declares a falsehood. Mr. Aldrich was willing to concede that the yice president had not declared the motion carried and had no objection to a motion to amend the journal. The vice president said that from his own recollection he was of the opinion that he did not formally declare the vote as carried, though he stated that the ayes appeared to have it, aud he would therefore again submit the question, After a long discussion Mr. Eustis took the floor and spoke against the elections bill. The bill, he said, was aimed at southern com- munities and southern states, It was intended to revive, reorganize and rebabilitate the republican part~ in the south, It was intended as & second reconstruction measure and it deserved the failure of the tirst reconstruc- tion measure. Mr. Eustis referred to the Boston riot against the execution of the fugitive slave law, und said that never in lnf’ southern state had there been such an exhi- bition of flerce, determined and relentless opposition to a federal law as that in Massa- r}m\(‘\u, and that riot, he said, was headed by the first aud leading citizens of Boston, and in the. faco of thut record the senator from Massachusetts was constantly arraign- ingand condemning southern communities und southern states, Mr, Hoar replied to what he termea the diatribe and pbilippic of the sen- ator from Louisiana, and thought it the most extraordinary spectacle of colossal assurance he had ever switnessed. General Sheridan, when in commund of the depart- ment of the south, declared that more men bad been murdered in the state of Louisiana 2 for theie political opinions than hal = ®n on both sides during the Mexican wat % was a state whoso annals wore known by 2 orri- ble and bloody history. z Mr, Carlisl d himself dl % ' to the question of the proceedings of ye. .= ‘ay and of the motiok. tocorrect the journa Mr. Vest gave as o justification for 1 dressing the senate now the fact th o hadow of the closure rule rested on i ) senators might do and say now. He we to give a review of the proceel in the senato at the time nat the closure rule was proposed and when it was opposed by the leading republicans, and he also quoted from Mr. Hoar's article in the Youth's Companion, in which e says: “In that assembly—the sen- ate of the United States--speech 13 absolutely unfettered.” He also roferred to_ artic republican newspapers all over the count in condemnation of the clections bill. He said that if the republican senators passed the bill, and especially ns they propose to piss it—by trampling on the rules of the senatc, mot live states in the union would give them tNMr clectoral votes, He warned the republican senators that they were playing with edged toolsand they might tnflict a mortal wound on the south and on the whole country, At 6 'clock a motion to adjourn was lost, The absence of a quornm was noted and the sergeant-at-arms was dirceted to request the attendance of absent senntor The time of the sonate was taken up in roll calls and in the delivery of Mr. Vest's speech in sections, and at midnight the senate ad- journed. leaving the subjectof approval of Tuesday’s journal to come up again to- mOrrow.
