Oongress Wants to Know About the Fay- ment of the First Mortgage. HAWAAIAN ~ CHESTNUT BROUGHT OUT ingor Comes to the Front Grosham's Congressman to Defend moeracy iand State Secrotary De- WASHINGTON, April 19.—The house is making very slow progress with the diplo- matic and consular appropriation bill. Al- most the entire day was devoted to thresh- ing over the old straw In the Hawalian con- troversy, The text used as a basis for the debate—a motion to cut off the salary of the Hawailan minister—was defeated when the vote was taken without division. About 4 —s g'clock half the membership of the house suddenly faded away to attend the opening ball game of the season, and when this fact was observed erats were unable to produce a quorum, and, after a roll call, the house adjourned. PRODDING THE PACIFIC ROADS On motlon of Mr. Rellly, chalrman of the committee on Pacific railroads, the following resolution was adopted Resolved, That the secretary of the in- terlor be directed to communicate to the house all information In his possession as to what provision (other than the sinking fund maintained in the treasury under the act of 1878) the rallroad corporations to whom bonds were issued by the United States under the acts of 1862-1873 to ald In the construc- tion of raflroads and telegraph lines from the Missourl river to the Pacific const have made or proposed to make for the payment at maturity of she bonds issued by said cor- porations, respectively, which are a prior lien to the bonds Issued by the United States under the acts before sald, and whether any of such bonds are held or owned by either of the said companies. The house then went into committee of the whole and the «_ consideration of the diplomatic and consular * appropriation bill was resumed. Mr. Ding- ley of Maine replied to some of yesterday’s democratic strictures upon ex-Minister Ste vens and pald a high tribute to his per- sonal character and ability. Mr. McCreary of Kentucky closed the general debate on the bill. The clerk then began to read the bill by paragraphs for amendment. Mr. Lacey of- fered the amendment of which he had given notice, striking out the appropriation for a minister to Hawail. The amendment re- opened the Hawallan controversy, which was participated in by Messrs. Grosvenor, Dinsmore, Van Vorhis, Milliken, Springer and Hitt, The latter, the head of the foreign affairs minority, declared that ordi- narily he would oppose the withdrawal of a minister, but the current business with Hawali could be transacted with the consul general. The withdrawal would not be per- manent. The irresistible force of public opinjon would constrain the aministration to change its policy and 1f the amendment were adopted it would be construed as an expression of the disapprobation of the rep- resentatives of the American people. CANNON GROWS SARCASTIC. Mr. Cannon was opposed to cutting off Mr. Willis' salary. He thought Instead of taking his salary away, Mr. Willis ought to be given a bonus of ,000 for the wear ) and tear on his consience and his Ken- tucky chivalry. Mr. Grosvenor replied rather sarcastic- ally to Mr. Springer's reference to Secre- tary Gresham as a ‘‘great statesman.’ Mr. Grosvenor said Mr. Gresham had held office under the republican party ever since the war. He had had a fleeting career as secretary of the treasury and general, but he demanded a bill of partic- ulars of Mr. Gresham’s claim to being a great statesman. Mr. Springer, In respons skatched Secretary Gresham's career from his services in the army, hils successive appointments as district judge, secretary of the treasury, postmaster general, circuit judge, until the republican national conven- tion of 1888, when he was nomin- ated and presented by the Tllinols as their candidate for president. This certificate of his brilliant, like qualitics, Mr. Springer thought, ought to be as good an endorsement as the re- publicans on the other side could ask. To their minds he ceased to be a great states- man he abandoned party. “How do you know he has abandoned the republican party?” asked Mr. Morgan of Missourl. SPRINGER STANDS UP FOR GRESHAM. “On!" replied Mr. Springer, amid laughter, know that certain men on this side sus- pect Judgo Gresham, but 1, for one, rejoiced in his selection as secretary of state.” Mr. Boutelle held Secretary Gresham up to sblle scorn in his vehement and impulsive manner, “What government is Willis ac- credited to?” he asked, addressing Mr. Me- Creary. “The de facto government,” MeCreary. “I thank the chairman of the foreign af- fairs_committee for this ray of light,” said Mr. Boutelle. “I am glad to learn that the administration recognized the government which John L. Stevens recognized when the revolution occurred.” (Republcan applause). “Does the gentleman not know ministers are al aceredited to the de facto gov- ernm asked Mr. McCreary “Presumably 0, retorted Mr. Boutelle, “but if I undertsand the English language in - this case, Mr. Willis was instructed by Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gresham to sing sweet songs in the ears of the de facto govern- ment, but to sccretly rdcognize her maesty the queen.” (Laughter and applause). The vote wa then taken on the Lacey amendment, and it was lost without division. The commiitee then arose. Mr. Sayers pre- nted the conference report on the urgency ‘ deflciency bill. It was agreed to and the house, at 4:50 p. m., adjourned. when the republican replied Mr. nt 4‘ NEWS FOR THE ARMY, List of Changes | noung WASHINGTON, gram to The Bee.)

To the Assoclated press the senator has given for the first time the reasons for his attitude on this subject. ““The treaty recognizes,”” he said, ‘‘the validity of the Geary and McCreary acts, and explicitly declares that the Chinese govern- ment will not object to thelr enforcement. This Is a substantial gain, because the su- preme court sustained the validity of the ary law by a mere majority, and one of Justices whose votes determined the case has died, so that all recognize the uncer- tainty of a second presentation to that tri- bunal." The provision whereby the United States agrees to furnish annually to China the names of our citizens, including mission- aries who reside there, 1s in effect a guar- antee by the Chinese empire that the Amer- fcans will not be disturbed. Missionaries need have no solicitude hereafter. While the Chineso government is not friendly to American residents, the effect of the pro- vision is to make it liable, pecunfarily and otherwise, to our people there. The Chinese do not. enjoy paying damages. As to the criticism against the privilege to Chinese laborers having a wife, child or parent in the United States, property or debts, he says: “The provision only applies to laborers who are registered. If we agree, as in the Geary and McCreary acts, that they may remain permanently, if they regis- ter, 1 e no objection to their temporary absence. 1 admit that a Chinaman will swear to anything, but in this case his verac- ity is passed upon by an American official. Individuals professing to be interested have announced that the proposed treaty will open tho door to a Chinese invasion. No laborer can enter without a return certifi- cate, and it we admit that there may be substitution (which I do not concede), the number of laborers cannot be increased, as one certificate represents one man. “The right to return was explicitly reco nized by congress in the Morrow act of 18! and the legislation was at that time con- sidered by anti-Chinese advocates as pro- gressive. The present treaty is drawn up on the lines of the Morrow bill, and as soon as it becomes evident that the Chinese gov- ernment intends to ratify it a bill can be passed providing for the enforcement of the treaty provisions and containing proper and stringent regulations and penalties. The Morrow bill contained no provision for photo- graphs, which is now suppliedsby the Geary and McCreary laws. “The Chinese government refused to agree to the treaty of 1888 upon the ground that certificates issued to a departing Chinese laborer should be granted by a Chinese con- sul. Mr. Cleveland said in his message to congress, dated October 1, 1888, approving the Scott exclusion act, that the obvious and neccssary effect of this contention would be practicaily to place the execution of the treaty beyond the control of the United States.” TREATY, Sena lifornin Gives His refor. new PERKINS TALKS ON TARIFF. Speaks on Resolution, WASHINGTON, April 19.—The day in the senate was almost entirely consumed by a speech against. the pending tarift bill by Senator Perkins of California. The speech was mainly devoted to a discussion of the articles which directly affected California, wool and fruits, silver, beet sugar, etc., al- though he considered other features in the bill in which his state was not interested, but which were opposed to republican prin- ciples, and which he accordingly arraigned. But' little business was transacted during Senator Allen Peffer's Coxey the morning hour, the agreement of the senate to the report of the conference committes on the urgent deficlency bill by ng the most important. nator Peffer stirred up quite a hornet's nest by calling up his resolution for the appointment of a committee on communica- tions to receive the petition of - Coxey's army. He explained the object of the res- olution as being a preparation for the proper reception of this body of men and to give them every facility to present their grievances to con- gress. The senate, regarded by many as the American house of lords, would have an opportunity to show that it was not out of touch with the people by appointing this committee. The country, he said, was on the verge of trouble. and unless we were wise and managed our affairs with discretion, we would regret it in the near future. Tho times were ripe for such movements, but this was a peaceful body of men, coming here to personally lay their grievances before congross. Mr. Peffer was followed by Senator Al- len, populist, of Nebraska, who, while not entirely approving of Coxey's action, as- serted the perfect right of ‘Coxey and his followers to come to Washington if they chose. And not only that, but they had a right to come into the capitol and occupy the galleries of the senate, and it would be as wise on the part of the senate to refuse them this privilege. They had also a right to be heard, and no man, whether he be a senator or a citizen, had a right to deny them that right. He bitterly de- nounced the report that General Ordway of the National guard of the District of Co- lumbia was preparing to mobilize the mil- itia at the confines of the District of Colum- b This man s coming here with perfect right,” continued Mr. Allen, “with rights which under the constitution’ are as sacred as those of any other man, woman or child, and yet we witness the spectacle of this city being thrown Into convulsions over the ex- pectation of seeing this peaceful body of men come Into the city.* At 5 o'clock eulogies were pronounced on the late Representative W.

Secretary Carlisle sent the following tele- gram to the collectors of customs at all of the ports at which Chinese usually enter the United States: “Chinese merchants domi- clled in the United States and who departed prior to November 3 last may be permitted to land upon evidence sufficient to satisty you of their identity as returning merchants.
