i T AY NEED THE NAVY SOON Taking Account of Vessels Available for Duty in Hawaii, PHILADELPHIA READY TO START AT ONCE Grosham and Herboert Hold a Conference on the Question—State Department Ofii- clals Inclined to Make Light of the Disturbances. WASHINGTON, Jan, 10.—Early this morn- ing Secretary Gresham ived formal no- tice that there had been an attempt at revo- lution near Honolulu on the 6th of this month. This notice o the following dispatch from Minister Willis, telegraphed from San Francisco: “HONOLULU, Jan. 11, 189 Gresham, Secretary of State, Washington, D. « At Wakiki beach, five miles from executive building, night of January 6, up rising of Hawallans, reported several hun- dred, well supplied with arms and ammuni tion, commanded by Captain Nowlein and R. W. Wilcox. Hon, C. L. Carter, I commisgioner, killed first night. Desultory firing every day since without further loss of life or property to government. Three royalists Killed and fifty taken prisoners. Over fifty noncombatants, mostly whites, ar- rested, including three ex-attorney generals and many prominent citizens, Martial law déclared January 7. No vessels allowed to leave, All other islands reported quiet. Crisis thought to be over, but excitement still intense. President Dole expressed to me his gratification that no national ship has been In port during this disturbance. Arms reported to have been brought from Van- couver, B. C, WILLIS.” Soon after he reached the State department ho eent to the Navy department for Secre- tary Herbert, and the two cabinet officers engaged in a close consultation for half an hour relating to the advisability of sending a United Sta cruiser to the island. Mr. Herbert stated that the Philadelphia was at Mare island, California, and could start almost immediately, ‘delaying only long enough after rpceiving her sefling orders to take a few fredh slores and a little extra coal aboard. She carries a complement of nearly 400 officers and men, commanded by Captain Colton, and could make the run of 2,080 miles to Honolulu in about six days. After consulting some time the secretaries came to the conclusion that nothing should be done toward sending a ship to Hawail except by the direct word of the president, so they went directly to the white house to learn the president’s wishes in the matter. Before leaving the department Secretary Herbert conferred with Admiral Ramsey, chief of the navigation bureau, and everything was put in trim for the immediate dispatch of orders to Admiral Beardslee should the pres- ident decide to send a ship to Hawali. REVOLT NOT EXAGGERATED. There is a disposition on the part of the administration officials to regard the Im- portance of the revolution as exaggerated, and one prominent official declared that he #saw no reason for apprehension, for it ap- peared from the reports that mo American interests had been endangered by the revo- lution. Some officers, however, who have been stationed at Honolulu, and who are familiar with the conditions there, took a widely different view of the matter. They say that the character of the interior of the islands is such that even a small number of determined men might hold their own for many weeks against a much superior force, Just as did Geronimo and his Apaches when opposed by a military force. They recall the fact that a few lepers managed to resist all of the troops that the Hawalian govern- ment' could bring to bear against them for a long time, hiding sccurely in the fast- nesses on the mountains when hard pressed, and emerging in force when the pressure re- laxed, These officers fear that the bands of Wilcox and Nowlein will thus serve as a nucleus for disaffected natives, and gather strength. These leaders, it is feared, will also offer any terms to secure the support of the Japanese cnnl!efi numbering 20,000, Who have been much dissatisfled with the refusal of the government to give them the right of suffrage. According to the reports these Japanese already have shown a mu- tinous spirit, and_in his report on Hawaiian affairs, which excited much interest, Ad- miral Walker strongly urged that danger be looked for in the near future from this ele- ment, at once proud, brave and ignorant. OTHER SHIPS AT MARE ISLAND. Besides the Philadelphia, there is at Mare island, of our fast new crulsers, the Ben- nington, commanded by Captain Charles Adams, who defied the revolutlonists of Salvador in taking aboard Ezeta and his fellow refugees. She has just returned from a cruise off the coast looking for two missing steamers, and while the navy authorities report that three days work is required on her machinery, this undoubtedly could be much abbreviated if necessary. The Hoston and Maine are ready to go in commission at a moment’s notice, but owlng (o the refusal of congress to pro- vide for enough enlisted men to meet the absolute needs of the navy, there are no crews for them. The Olympla will not be turned over to the government until the 24th inst., and will be put in commission on the 5th of February for a cruise. The Ranger, Mohican and Alert, old Jow- powered ships, would scarcely be chosen for use In any emergency requiring speed, and the Monterey cannqt carry coal sufficlent for the cruize to Honolulu. “The news of the insurrection was a great surprise in diplomatic cirlces. Neither the Hawalian minister nor any members of the forelgn committees of the senate and house had any expectation of such an occurrence. ‘The general Impression seems to be that no revolution can be serious in its results un- less aided and abetted by some foreign power. The forces at the command of the government are said to be ablt to suppress any possible native rising or uprising of any disorderly forelgn element. Sccretary Gresham was absolutely dumbfounded by the new. “It is wholly unexpected. I am amazed. The dispatch seems to say the rebels had artillery. Where could they have BOt this? The dispatch does not speak of any being landed. Do you think there can be any doubt that the news is accurate?” THURSTON'S ADVICES MEAGER, Exceedingly meager officlal advices of the trouble in Hawali have been recelved by Mr. Thurston, the Hawailan minister here, It came in a telegram from President Dole, t via San Francisco, and reads as follows: ‘Rebellion broken. Leaders and remain- ing followers fugitives in the mountains, The telegram, the minister thinks, was written on the day the Alameda left Hono- lulu. Replying to questions as to his prob- able course of action the minister sald he did not expect at present to call on the secre- tary of state In connection with the trouble, nor did he intend to ask that a United States war ship be sent to Honolulu, “‘The government Is itself able to put down the rebelllon,” he said, *‘and needs no assist- ance. It Is for the gevernment to deter- mine whether there is a necessity for the government to send a ship there to guard the duterests of Americans.’ Another telegram that has been recelved by the minister was from Hawalian Consul General Wilder at San Franclsco, and an- nounces that the steamer Australla, whose regular sailing day Is today, would postpone Ler departure until Monday and that Mr. Hatcl, the Hawailan minister of foreign affairs, would return to Hawail aboard her. Mr. Hateh was visiting this country pre- sumably in a private capacity and Minister rston believes he had no intention of coming to Washington. The postponement of the departure of the Australia will give to Mr. Thurston an opportunity to send any dispatches he may desire to his govern- ment, although the change of date in salling :: the vessel was not made to accommodate ni. Do you think the rebels will recelve many accessions to their ranks and hold out very long agalnst the government forces?” the minister was asked today. *I do vol.” he replied. ““The piace they Are now rendexvoused 1s on & mountain about five miles from (he city.

Our government has all along expected a shipment of ammunition and our officials have been on the watch out for it.” ‘‘Does the government have any fear that tho Japanese will aid the rebels?" “So far as the Japanese government fs concerned, T have nothing to say. So far as the Japanese local officials on the island are concerned, they have shown themselves most zealous in behalf of good order. I have more or less apprehension as to the action the Japanese residents may take.'" In conclusion, the minister said he did not anticipate any forelgn Intervention in the present crisis, I it had not been on account of the death of Mr. Carter,” sald the minister,” the whole thing might ba considered a decided ad- vantage to the government, No greater aid is necessary to demonstrate that the govern- ment is able to stand on its own feet.” CARTER KNOWN IN SEATTLE. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 19.—Charles L. Carter was about 30 years old and was the eldest son of tne late H. A. P. Carter, ex- Hawallan minister to the United States. He was born in Honolulu and_finished his edu- cation at the Ann Arbor, Mich., law school Ho was married at Ann Arbor after his graduation and returned. to the islands. He took a leading part in the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani, and fncurred the bitter hostility of Wilcox and other royalists, He was one of the commissioners sent to Wash- Ington by the provisional government early in 1893, "He made a brief visit to Seattle and Puget Sound six weeks ago on busine: connectod with his father's estate. He was a member of the new legislature. He was a very handsome man, an athlete, a glant in stature and brave as a lion, He leaves a wife and three children. His brother, George R. Carter, is Hawailan consul at Seattle, and ho has a sister here. Carter was strongly in favor of hanging Wilcox and other royalist plotters, and his relatives think he' was specially ‘selected as a victim by these plotters, SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.—The risa and fall of the queen's supporters in Hawail has created a great deal of excitement among the sympathizers in this city. The Chamber of Commerce held a special meeting today and forwarded a telegram to Secretary Gresham, urging him to send a warship at once to Honolulu, This was be. fore it had been learned that Gresham had al- ready ordered the Philadelphia to the islands, Anticipating orders to sail, the officers of the Philadelphia commenced preparations for departure early this morning, They expect to get away tomorrow or by Monday at the latest. The Philadelphia can steam to Hono- lulu in five days, or even less If she is pressed. She carries enough of a crew to put down the biggest rebellion the Hawalian malcontents are capable of starting, and on her arrival at the islands she will imme- diately proceed to land troops for the pro- tection of Americans and the property of Americans. M'FARLAND CAME TO BUY ARMS, The mission of C. W. McFarland, who ar- rived here in the early yart of the month on the Arawa, is now believed to have been for the purpose of arranging for the shipment ot arms to Honolulu, McFarland did not make a lengthy stay in San Francisco, but hurried back on the 12th of the month by the same steamer t| he came up on. There is no way by which to prove pos- itively that the colonel dickered for guns and ammunition, but those persons who favor the provisional government are hinting that the wealthy merchant of Honolulu was in con- stant communication with parties in Vie- torfa. This circumstance is regarded as sus- picious. There scems to be an overdrawn story regarding the ex-Chilian cruiser Es- meralda. It is reported by the Hawaiian correspondent that it was feared by the pro- visionais that the vessel had been purchased by the rogalists. and that she would bombard Honolulu just as soon as the Alameda was out of sight of land, The Japanese have semi-officially announced the fact that their nation has purchased the Esmeralda, and nd ammunition they that the vessel will visit San Francisco before | she is dispatched to Yokohama. Even were it 50 that the cruiser had been turned over to the royalists and that the story of her sale to Japan was only @ blind, the Phil- adelphia is more than a match for the Es- meralda and could vanquish her in very short order. Though the first uprising may not have amounted to much, the revolt may spread to other islands than the Island of Oahu. Honolulu s well protected and can stand off the revolutionists, but the natives may be harder to suppress in other localities. Robert W. Wilcox, leader of the revolution- Ists, who, when captured, will undoubtedly be executed, is well recoliccted by clvil en- glneers in this city, he having been employed here in the work of water works construce tion. TRACING UP THE ARMS. At the headquarters of the Hawailan con- sul there was little information to be gained concerning the uprising further than has al- ready been published in the. correspondence from Honolulu, but from another and most rellable course It was learned that the gov- crnment officials at the islands had com- municated a number of facts to its represent- atives In this city by-which it is expected to trace up the source of the supply of the arms which were obtalned by the natives. In fact, it s said that the -representatives here have already considerable proof against certaln persons who are known to be friendly to the royalists, and who are even now planning to send additional arms to the Isl- ands, An effort is belng made to locate the schooner Norma, which, it will be remem- bered, left Victoria nearly two months ago, supposedly for the {slands, with a lot of con- traband opium. Another vessel is supposed to have left Victoria on a simflar mission shortly after the Norma and Deputy Collector of Port McStoker, who was here investigat- ing oplum smuggling, hurried back to the lsl- ands, hoping to anticipate the plans of the smugglers, By the mail which arrived here previous to that of the Alemeda there came a letter from Deputy Collector McStoker to the customs officers here stating that a vessel answering to the description of the Norma had been hovering off a neighboring island but could not be overhauled because of the government's lack of a proper boat. It Is now belleved that the vessel was the Norma, but that instead of having opium aboard she in reality was loaded with arms, The arrival here three weeks ago of Colonel McFarland on the steamer Arawa and his sudden departure the same day on the steamer Australia is also regarded as having had something to do with the preparations of the royalists. The colonel said his visit was purely a personal one, but shortly after he arrived here it was learned that he had recelved several telegrams from Victoria, It is now belleved that he eame to learn something about the Norma and being ad- vited that she was already on her way to the fslands he hurried back home that same afternoon. TERRITORIAL ADM(SSION CHANCES. Delegato Joseph of New Mexloo Thinks Thelr Ohances Ars Good. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The admission of New Mexico and Arizona to statehood is expected to come before the senate next week. Theso measures passed the house some months ago, but they have not advanced rapidly in the senate. Senator Faulkner is anxious to have them acted upon before the session closesy and he will, therefore, call them up during the morning hour next week. Aside from the interest the bills have to the two territories, there is wide, general inter- est in the effect thelr passage will have in assuring four additional senators to the upper branch of congress, Delegate Joseph of New Mexico, who has given most of his time in cougress to advancing the New Mexico bill, says he has little doubt of favorable action by the scnate, as the only uctive opposition belng made is by the A. P. A. organization, which argues that the old Spanish and Mex can population of New Mexico is almost exclu- sively Catholle, Mr. Joseph is not apprehen- slve, however, that this will aftect the final passage of tho bill etaliation.

FRYE CAUSES A COMMOTION Introduced a Resolution Ex;ressing In- dignation at Events in Hawaii, DEMOCRATIC EFFORTS TO TONE IT DOWN Finally on Motion of George the Resolution Went Over—Lodge Will Bring the Question Up Again Monday. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The death of Miss Mary Stevenson, daughter of the vice president, was feelingly preferred to in the prayer of the chaplain of the senate at the opening of the session today. Mr. Manderson, republican of Nebraska, presented the credentials of John M. Thurs- ton, elected as a United States senator from Nebraska for the term beginning March 4, nex With this brief routine prelude, Mr. Frye of the committes on forelgn affairs, gave a dramatic turn to the proceedings by offering a resolution expressing the profound indigna- tion with which the senate heard of the ef- forts to restore the deposed queen to the throne of Hawail and expressing it as the sense of the senate that the United States government should at once dispatch war- ships to the Islands. Senator Frye's resolution is as follows: “‘Resolved, That the senate learns with pro- found indignation of the attempt to restore a deposed queen to power in the Hawailan Islands and extends to the young republic the warmest sympathy in her efforts to suppress rebellion,” Senators gave the closest attention to the reading of the resolution, and the galleries filled rapidly as word was passed that the Hawailan question had been taken up. Mr. I'rye asked that the resolution be given im- mediate consideration. “I suggest,” said Mr. Hill, New York, “‘that the language ‘profound in- dignation’ ‘is rather extreme, and it might be desirable to modify it by the words ‘pro- found regret.’ " “'On the contrary,” declared Mr. with great earnestness, “I do not profound indignation sufficiently expresses my own feelings or the feelings of the Amer- ican _people.” “Nor the feelings of the senator from New York," dnterjected Mr. Chandler sarcas- tically. Mr. Hill hesitated only a moment at the in- terruption and then added: “I at least hope that the senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Chandler) will concede me the guardianship of my own feelings. 1 had not moved an amendment to the language, but had merely offered a suggestion.” “In order to facilitate the passage of the resolution,” continued Mr. Frye, “and in order that it may at once be cabled to the Hawailan islands, I will accept the proposed change.” GRAY HAS AN OBJECTION. The presiding officer was about to put the question and it seemed as though the resolu- tion would pass without a word of protest, when Mr. Gray, democrat of Delaware, inter- pozed an objection. “I do not object to the first part of the resolution,” said he, “but the last part seems inappropriate at this time.” “Then,” said Mr. Frye, “let us procced to the consideration of the first. I will modify the resolution accordingly.” Mr. Caffery, democrat of Louisiana, rose at this point. “Is this mot rather prema- ture?” he asked. ‘““Wo are not yet informed as to the facts on which the resolution Is predicated. The press reports this morning tell us there has been an emute in the Ha- walian islands. But whether there has been an_effort to restore the queen to her throne I do not know. I ask the senator from Maine to tell us if he has any information on that point.”” Mr. Frye was again on his feet. “I must say,” he proceeded, “that since I have read {n the morning papers that the secretary of state says that he can take no action untll he receives an official communication as to tho outbreak, that while the sccretary of the navy can order warships to these isiands he would not act until so requested by the secretary of state, I can consent to no further change or modification in tho resolution.” Again the presiding officer was about to put the question, when Mr. George, democrat of Mississippi, interfered. “I object.” Mr. Frye faced about to the democratic side, and looked steadily at Mr. George. “God may forgive the semator who makes that objection,” sald Mr. Frye, each word coming with measured deliberation, “but I do mot believe the American people will for- give him.” There was an impressive pause of a mo- ment. Senators looked at each other om- inously as Mr. Frye's words eachoed through the chamber, Mr. George had risen slowly, flushed and showing intense feeling. “‘Such a remark is improper and unworthy of the senator,” sald Mr. George. “My right to offer an objection Is not influenced in the least by what the senator may think on the subject. T am not responsible to the senator from Maine as to my conduct.” Mr. George insisted on his objection, and under the rules the resolution was laid aside. LODGE TAKES ANOTHER TACK. Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts then gave no- tica of an intention to call up the resolution offered by Mr. Aldrich on the 9th inst., say- ing that such a course might overcome the objection to the present consideration of the resolution. The resolution is as follows: “Resolved, That the senate, in view of the public interest and those of the American citizens residing in the Hawallan islands, is of the opinion that our government should b2 represented in Hawalian waters by one or mora ships of our navy."” The discussion of the Hawalian matter was brought to a close by Mr. Cockrell of the committee on appropriations, by the in- troduction of a_report on the urgency de- ficlency bill. W Finally Mr. Chandler moved a postpone- ment of the confarence report until 2 o'clock. Mr. Lodge contended the Hawaiian business was of more Importance than the infliction of the income tax on the country. He sald the news furnished of the uprising reported in today’s papers was a verification of the predictions that had been made by Admiral Walker in his report, and by himself in his remarks made in the senate, based upon that report. The admiral had made the point that the withdrawal of the American ships from Hawallan waters would make the impression upon the native mind that this government was in sympathy with the royal- lsts and in favor of the restoration of the queen. In his comments Mr. Lodge pointed out that, so far as the result imd been effected, it would not matter whether they were right or wrong In reaching this conclu- slon. It would in either case be liable to encourage an uprising. Admiral Walker had also expressed the opinion that in case of an uprising, the present government would be able to maintain itself, and this prediction had also been happily verified. Mr. Lodge referred to the portion of the president's message bearing upon the landing of a British cable on the Hawailan islands as a covert reference to Admiral Walker, Who was his own witness, and proceeded to comment upon the fact that “the intelligent diplomatic agent” to whom the president had referred had been so prompt to disavow the views of the admiral. " He also called atten- tion to statements in the day's dispatches concerning the alleged readiness of the Brit- ish consul to recognize the revolutionary government in case of its being able to hold the palace for three hours. He did not mean to lmply that the British were doing more than secking, by the aggressiveness which Great Britain shows in all such matters, to extend the commerclal supremacy of that country to Hawail. CRITICISED THE ADMINISTRATION. He critisised the administration, not only for the withdrawal of the American ships, but for its efforts to sustain the royalists, and also complained of what he considered the efforts of the democratic senators to pre- veat immediate consideration of the question by techuical objections and privileged re- democrat of Frye, believe his face ports. In view of the facts developed in teday’s dizpatches the senate should no longe delay in the expression of sympatbhy with the republican cause in Mawall in extending its congratulations oo the strength which the extsting gevernment had shown and In declaring for amAmerican policy of admini: tration, by g Mr. George satd b had based his objection on the ground thatsthe information furnished was Insufficient 4o proceed on in the manner indicated by thaigegolutions. He character- ized the Hawallan affair as “a little riot In which two or three people were killed,” and sald that noyAmerican had lost his life nor had any Amarjoan property been de- stroyed. Hence he {hought It wise that the senate should dy u( action for further in- formation. Ho #Afd Jn reply to questions by Mr. Teller that the' senate had nothing to dd with the rights 'of the president as com- mander-in-chief of the army and navy in his disposal of tHea# forces, and were not, he sald, called upon®with all cur powers to give any advice in tNe'premises. Mr. George safd the present Hawalian gov- ernment was one of force. It had secured 1ts place by force, and it was bound to main- tain itself by force. There was no obligation on the United States to maintain that gov- ernment. We might maintain the security of the lives and property of American oiti- zens in Hawall, but the lives and property of American citizens were not assailed, “How will we protect American citizens to Hawaii when our war ships are in San Francisco?” interposed Mr. Kyle. Mr. George answered that there was no occasion for the ships to go to Hawall. “We are sending them to Madagascar,” suggested Mr, Allison, derisively. Mr. George urged that there was no war- rant in international or constitutional law for Interference by the United States. Mr. Kyle urged briefly that the situation demanded immediate action by the senate, The United States navy was being distributed everywhero but in Hawaii Mr. Caffery of Loulsiana sald that from the published report the uprising was a fizzle, a flasco. 1t had shown only one thing—that tho existing government was amply able to sustaln itself, The senator spoke against the annexation of the heterogeneous population of Hawall. It would be against the best in- terests of this country to take such a people under our flag. “The policy of the president of the United States toward the Hawallan islands has been marked by the utmost wis- dom and sagacity,” said Mr. Caffe Mr. Frye then secured the passage of a resolution asking the secretary of the navy for information as to the surveys made of Pearl harbor, Hawallan islands, by Admiral Walker. At this point, the hour of 2 oclock having . arrived, - and as the senate had previously fixed this time for hearing eulogies on the late Senator Vance of North olina, the Hawalian resolution was laid aside. The tributes were heartfelt and eloquent. When they were concluded the senate, as a further mark of respect to the deceased, ad- Journed, CLEVELAND BLAMED FOR 1T ALL. Boutelle Up the Hawallan Rebelllon in the Houso. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—There was an exciting Incident due today when Mr. Bou- telle of Maine tried to secure the considera- tion of a resolution of sympathy for the Hawalian government and expressing it to be the sense of the house that a United States warship should be stationed at Honolulu to protect American interests. He made a characteristic although impulsive speech, denouncing the policy of the present administration toward Hawaii and charged thio rebellion against the re- public, fomented; by,.the royalists and ad- herents of the discredited monarchy, directly to that policy. The dour of 2 o'clock, which arrived shortly after Boutelle began his speech, cut him, ‘off and a scene of excite- ment followed when Mr. Boutelle attempted to bave the special onder (eulogizing the late Representative Lyle of Kentucky) set aside. Boutelle tontinupd his appeal until the speaker was forged: to rebuke him and order him to take his geat, The early part of the day was devoted o tho further consideration of the Indian apifropriation bill and the day after 2 o'clock 1o ‘etlogies on the life and character of the. lateliRepresentative Lyle. When Mr. Burrews,of Michigan entered the house shortly aften the opening of the ses- sion he was greeted. with a round of applause. It was his first ippeagance since his election as United States, senator. The speaker an- nounced Mr. Burorw’s retirement at his re- quest, as a member of , the committees on rules and ways and means, and apopinted to the vacancy on rules Mr. Cannon of Illinols, and to the vacancy on ways and means Mr. Gros- venor of Ohio. The senate amendments to the pension bill were disagreed to and the bill sent to conference. Mr. Hartman of Montana asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a resolution directing the secretary of the Interior to suspend all action looking to the approval of selections and patenting to rallroads of any lands selected under the rules issued July 9, 1894, until congress may dispose of the bill now pending in the senate and finally settle the question of the classifica- tion of granted lands. Mr. Hartman claimed that 1,092,000 acres of land were involved. Mr. Maddox of Georgia objected, but finally withdrew his objection. Later the objection was, however, renewed by Mr. Tracy of New York. A bill was passed on motion of Mr. Lynch of Wisconsin to authorize the secretary of tho Interior to correct errors where double allotments of land has been made to In- dians, The house then went into committee of the whole and resumed the consideration of the Indian appropriations bill. After some debate Mr. Boutelle got the floor to offer a resolution on the Hawailan incident. He made an impassioned speech which Mr. - McCreary of Kentucky vainly tried to Interrupt. Mr. Boutelle, whose words gushed like a torrent, said: “I am not going into details on this, It Is not necessary. I am not going to say a word that I do not know wi]l carry with " it, the sympathy of nine-tenths of this house on both sides of the chamber. I know thero is no sympathy In the American peo- ple or in the hearts of the American con- gress, on either side, outside a small coterie that could be counted on the .fingers of my hand, for the policy which has led directly up to this tragedy In Hawall. Today I learned that one of my dearest friends, a young man of American lineage with blood that runs back to Boston on the one hand and through the missionary stock that went to Hawail and redeemed those islands from barbarism upon the other, has fallen, fight- ing to defend his home and fireside against an insurrection stimulated by the adherents of a discredited monarchy, and encouraged, 1 regret to say, by the action of the executlye government of the United States in removing from the harbor of Honolulu the last vestigo of the moral support and sympathy of the people of the United Sfates.’' At this point the spedker said that under a special order the remainder of the day would be devoted to eulogles on the late Rep- resentative Lyle of Kentucky. Mr. Boutelle vainly sought to have the order set aside teriporarily until a resolution he desired to offer could be considered. When the speaker irapped for order, he con- tinued his appeal until, amid great confusion, the speaker was obliged to order him to be ted and to Instryet he sergeant-at-arms to orce the order OF the chalr, The Lyle eulogles’ were then delivered. Those who paid tribute to their late col- league were Messrs. McCreary of Kentucky, Berry of Kentucky! Dfaper of Mas:achusetts, Caruth of Kentueky, Martin of Indiana, Breckinridge of Kentudky, Pence of Colorado, and Lucas of South Dakota. Then, at 3:15 p. m., as a further mark of respect, the house ‘adjourned. The resolution which' Mr. Boutelle intended to offer in the houe'téday was as follows: Resolved, That the house of representa- fves learis with profound regret and. in dignation of ~the:bbleody attempt of the adherents of a , dis dited and (‘v-‘l!ll)i!"l monarchy to overthrow the republic of Hawali, In which a distinguished young officer 'of that gavernment, of American lincage, has been killed while acting In its defense, and extends to that republic as- surances of the earvest sympathy of the representatives of the American people in its successful efforts to maintain its au- thority and o protect the lives and prop- erty of the people of those islands. Tesolved, That i view of the iraditional policy of the Usited States to afford moral support to the people of our own blood and kindred ‘in establishing enlightened gov- ernment in the Hawalfan islands and for the protection of the lives and lmportant business inferests of American citizens there, it is' the sense of this house that one or more suitable ships of the American navy should be stationed at the Hawalian ands and retained there 5o long s there may be any apprehension of domestic in- surrection or foreign dnterference, Walker Will Be Given a Hearing. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The committee on ways and means has agreed to give Mr. Walker of Massachusetts a hearing on his bond bill, introduced yesterday in the house. MILITIA CHARGED STRIKERS Two Men Slightly Injured by Contact with the Boldiers' Bayonets, SITUATION' SHOWS NO INPROVEMENT ©ars Run with Great Ircegularity and Men Constantly Belng Interfered with by Strikers—Pollce Make tFew Arrosts, DROOKLYN, Jan. 10.—Three thousand men are under arms in Brooklyn tonight. Rioting has been the order of the day, and the strikers had some serious clashes with the militia this evening, The presence of the militia did not tend to prevent the mob from making numerous assaults on con- ductors and motormen who had taken pos tons with tho tled up roads. In many in- stances nonunion men were badly hurt, and 50 flerce were the attacks of the strikers tonight that the soldiers had to resort to the bayonet. Several strikers or sympa- thizers were bayoneted, and the situation Is considered the gravest that has confronted the authorities for many years. So threaten- ing, too, had become the attitude of the mobs that 200 men who had been secured by the Brooklyn Heights Railroad company abandoned their work in a body tonight, The strikers threatened them with violence or death, and the newly engaged men not only left work, but departed from the city as well. Even the Board of Mediation and Art tration has given up its attempt at recon- ciling the two factions. Commissioners Robertson and Purcell have apparently abandoned any hope of affecting a compro. miso for the present at least, for after the board adjourned this evening they left town, declaring that the board had been able to accomplish nothing. The most serious side of the matter is the probability of a general strike being ordered. Rumors were abroad through the day that the elevated men would go out in sympath with the surface men. These rumors were denied as frequently as they were made. Despite all contradictions, howe several of the deaders of the “L™ informed a repre- sentative of the Associated press that the probability of a sympathetic strike was good. Conferences on the subject had been held and it had been decided to give the surface men all the ald possible. It was sald by the “L" leaders that it was not at all unlikely that a strike would be ordered on Monday morning. GRAND MASTER SOVEREIGN COMING. Grand Master Soverelgn s expected in Brooklyn tomorrow and he will attempt to do what the Board of Arbitration has failed to do, conciliate the presidents of the various roads. Master Workman Connely, however, said that ho did not know of Sovereign's ru- mored intention of taking a hand in the ques- tion. There was a_conference of police captains tonight and it was decided to rigidly enforce the excise law tomorrow. It was regarded by the authorities as extremely necessary that no liquor be sold to the strikers during tho present troubles, and hercafter a sharp outlook will be kept on the saloons in the vi- cinity of the car stables. Superintendent of Police Campbell tonight issucd a statement that he had been notified that the Brooklyn. Railway company will put their lines in oper- ation at 8 o'clock. The lines are the Green Point, Third and Hamilton avenues and some other lines. The chief of police, in conjunc- tion with the militia, will make a special preparation for the opening of these lines. Notlce is given that a further force of militia will be ordered out, the impression having been obtained late tonight that the strikers had made special arrangements to meet the railroad officials on their grounds. SUBSISTENCE FOR THE MILITIAMEN. Twenty-five thousand sandwiches and 100 gallons of coffeo have been ordered for the militiamen now on duty. The Prospect Park ~reservolr station is guarded by 100 men under command of Cap- tain Toblas, while Captain Stokes has 150 men at he car sheds at Flatbush. Privates do not enter upon the campaign with any degree of enthusiasm. In the strike of 1892 they had a long slege of service at Bluft protecting railroad property, and they profess to fear that if they should be kept on duty now for more than thirty-six hours their _employers will come to the conclu- sion that membership in the National guard is not compatible with efficiency in busines. Many are talking of resigning from thelr companies, A car of the Putnam avenue line was at- tacked by a mob of strikers this morning near the vacant lots on Halsey strect be- tween Ralph and Howard avenues. Motor- man Kelly and Conductor Hawkins were badly beaten and the latter had to be re- moved to a hospital. The police charged the mob and arrested one man. Another car of the same line was also attacked and the motorman beaten, A car on the Halsey street line In charge of Conductor Joseph Whalen was held up at the corner of Ralph avenue and Halsey street by a large crowd of strikers who tried to induce the motorman and conductor to quit. Faillng in this a rush was made for the motorman, but he held on with all his might. Conductor Whalen was also at- tacked, but before the strikers could do any damage they were dispersed by the police, POLICE CHARGED THE MOB, . Companies F and G of the Seventh regi- ment were sent to the East New York depot. A crowd of strikers had collected there to prevent cars being started. The police charged the mob and used their clubs freely. Two strikers were badly hurt. Nearly 1,600 strikers and sympathizers waylaid two Broad- way cars near Flushing avenue and carried off ‘the motorman and conductor as prisoners, The police were powerless to prevent the act. The calling out of the troops seems to have aggravated instead of alleviated the situation, It has caused indignation among the labor organizations and there is a prospect that other trades will be called upon to strike in sympathy, Master Workman Connelly sald to a re- porter that a general strike may be expected before Sunday. Two cars of the Fulton street line, one flying a United States mail flag, reached Williams place and Fulton street at 1:40 p. m. This {s two blocks from the Fulton street statlon. A crowd of about 1,400 strikers surrounded the cars and chased the four policemen from them, FPassengers and & number of nonunion men were also driven off. Police reinforcements are on the way to the scene. The motormen deserted their posts and the cars are now at the mercy of the mob. The trolley wires were cut at Manhattan crossing and Stone avenue In two places. The mob is constantly increasing and serlous trouble fs expected. Two more Fulton strect cars were held up at Williame place and Fulton street. The crews deserted their posts. The Sumner avenue line s blooked, the circuit having been burned out by inexper- fenced hands, The trolley wires were cut by the strikers at Fulton street and Nostrand avenue, They were repaircd, however, by the company, but less than an hour later were again cut further down the street. About thirty-five nonuniontsts who were in the cars on thelr way to the Fulton street station were induced by the strikers to join thelr ranks, President M. J, Connelly of the executive board of district assembly 75, Knights of Labor, gald at noon: 10 situation is a very serious one. The calling out of the militia has intensified the struggle between the raflroad corporaticn and the men, I favor the calling out of all the labor unions as the best means of ending the present difficulty.” MAY CALL OUT THE RAILROADERS. It was rumored that all rallroad employes in Brooklyn would be called out tomorrow. Mr, Connelly, however, would neither afirm nor deny the report. KFrom the nature of his replies to questions it was gathered that the matter was under consideration by the ex- ecutive board. s The Bergen street line sent out three cars this morning. They proceeded as far as Van- derbilt avenue, where they became stalled and were compelled 10 return to the depot. The officlals dispatched three other cars, the first of which was a sweeper, the next a salt car and the remalning cne 4 passenger car, over the Sumner line. When the train reached Sumner avenue and Dean sireet angry mobs of women aud boys surrounded the cars end suowballed the men vigorousty. Alderman J. McGaun has contributed $1,000 to ald the strikers. Tbe railroad companies have not fulfilled their agreement with Mayor Schieren to open up all their lines. But fow cars are ranning, and they are in charge of inexperienced men, The militia at the Jamalca car stables wero forced to charge a big mob three times sinco 6 o'clock. The first time the strikers gath- ered at the stable and jeered the soldiers. The officer In command drew his men up in line and gave an order to charge. The mob was driven back to the houses on the oppo- site side of the street and fell pell mell through the doorways and down cellars, and in fact, wherever they could find a place of escape. One person, Charles Wilson, was Injured by being stabbed in the back with a bayonet. He was taken to a temporary hospital establishment by Assistant Surgeon Belcher, in ono of the empty car hous where his wound was dressed. It was only a slight flesh wound. At 7:10 and again at 7:30 the militia charged the mob, which had become once again threatening. The strikers and their friends had begun to gather in front of the car house and jeered the soldiers. There were several personal encounters between the guards and the mob which began to close around the car house. Colonel ¥ called out his geserves in the barps, formed them Into line, stretching them along the strect for a distance of feet and then gave the order to advance. Some of the strikers and their sympathizers took fssue with the militia and stopped to argue the point. The temper of the crowd necessitated a third charge. Again the soldiers advanced on the mob and drove it trom the street at the point of the bayonet A second man was wounded. His name Is Thomas Nolan, a compositor. He fell and was struck on the left kneo with a bayonet in the hands of some unknown guardsman He was removed to his home. STRIKERS RIOTING. 10:45 p. strikers have been rioting for three-quarters of an hour in the vicinity of the car stables, on Jamaica avenue. In tho Twenty-sixth ward they are hurling bricks and stones in every direction. The military scattered the crowd time and time again. Several men and wo- men were wounded. Bugeno Williams was stabbed in the back by a bayonet. Phillp Tighe was also stabbed by a bayonet. A wo- man whoss name could not b learned, while attempting to pass through the line, received a similar wound by a guardsman, whose bay- onet was pointed in the direction of the fleeing crowd. The militia drove the rioters down Alabama and Georgia avenues severai times, chasing them from the &tables as far as four blocks. The situation at this place Is a serious one. Several ambulances have been sent to the scene of the riot. 11 p. m.—It is rumored that a man had been killed by the militia in eastern New York. The rioters are still rioting. The militia, under Major Cochran of the Thir- teenth regiment, charged the strikers several times. One hundred mounted police have been sent to the scene of the riot. Soldiers are charglng the mob in all directions. Fif- teen ambulance calls have ,been sent out. A squad of 100 policemen has also been sent. During the rioting in the vicinity of the Alabama avenue barns some of the strikers retreated to the rcofs of the houses and heaved down stones onto the troops. Some idea of the violence of the fighting may be gathered when it is known that from the Immediate neighborhood fifteen ambulance calls were sent to St. Mary's hospital. The battle waged fiercely up and down the short block on Alabama avenue, between the railroad depot and Atlantic avenue, The sol- diers drove many of the strikers into the saloons which lined both sides of the street, and kept them prisoners in thers. Afded by 4 reserve and a mounted squad, they then drove the remainedr of the rioters across At- lantic avenue and down a side street. In the meantime additions to the strikers' force :N,\rn being made from the surrounding dis- rlcts. Scores of sympathizers from this ever in- creasing mob mounted to the elevated rail- road tracks and from this point of vantage hurled missiles of ervery conceivable kind at the members of the national guard, nearly half of whom were struck and more or less wounded. So serious indeed had the state of affairs become that as soon as the strikers had been driven from their vantage ground Major Cochran, in command ‘of the guards- o men, sent an emphatic request to headquar- ters for: reinforcements. Two companies wero soon upon the scene. By this time, however, hostilities had ended and at mid- night all was quiet ou the battlefield. — WASHINGTON NOTES, Senator Mandorson's Busy Day.

LOUIS, Jan. 19.—RBeforo Judge Walter M. Sanborn of the United States clrcult court today Attorneys Winslow S. Plerce and R. 8. Hall of Omaha, representing F% Gordon Dexter and Oliver Ames, sccond, trustees for first mortgage bondholders of the Union Pacific Rallway company, filed & Dill of complaint setting forth that the in- terest on the $27,000,000 of first bends had been defaulted Januar and asking the foreclosure of the mortgage and appointment of separate recelvers for that division of the Union Pacific covered by the mortgage and known as the main line. John M. Thurston represented the Union Pa- cific receivers, and W. R. Kelly represented the road. Mr. Pierce, for the trustees, also presented a form of order closely following that In the Denver Pacific case, and asked that it be made the order of the court. After considerable general discussion by counsel of the proper verbiage of the order, the court took the matter under advisement and will render a decision later, probably. the first of next week, The discussion between the attorneys and Judge Sanborn partook of the nature of a friendly interchange of opinion, and while nothing was definitely stated it scemed to be generally accepted by the counsel for both sides that the order asked would issue, though the exact terms, of course, remained with the judge for final dotermination. The principal subject of discussion was the pro- tection of the present receivership creditors, and as a result of the exchange of views it was practically agreed that tho order to issue should protect in every way the claims of creditors under the so-called Ames sult. Not only the funds in the hands of the ro- celvers at present, but any further carnings necessary to meet said clalm would be set aside for that purpose after due process of law. As explained by Mr. Plerce, the main purpose of the application was to place ~ the old main lne of the Union Pacific, that portion specifically cove cred by the terms of the first mortgage, under separate management, though it is ex- pected that the same individuals will act as receivers, Most of the argument indulged in was as to detalls of management, the idea being to so arrange as to permit the carnings of the main line to stand by themselves and, therefore, in a position to be subject to the equities of the first mortgage. At the same time the representatives of the bondholders desired the operation of the branches as well as the main line in such manner as to care- fully guard all sources of income-ralsing of both. The bill of complaint, as filed, Is a purely formal statement of the terms of the mort- gage, the default in interest, the relation of the first mortgage to the others and the posi- tion of the main line and the branches to- ward each other. The order asked for is, as stated, practically the same as that issued in the case of the Denver Pacific. Prior to bringing his bill of complaint, Mr, Plerce stated that the matter of asking an order of foreclousre and the appointment of recelvers was purely one of form. He sald that it was being done on all of the Union Pacific lines when the interest was defaulted, and denied that it was done for the purpose of stirring up congress. He said the first mortgage bondholders wanted protection, and were taking the customary course. . He further stated that the present receivers, known as the Ames receivers, would doubt- less be reappointed. Mr. Pierce says that 80 many limbs have been lopped off the Union Pacific system under the present re- celvership that it has been pretty well stripped. The new receivership, if directed, will take the place of the old receiverships on all lines affected by the first mortgage. Foreclosure suits similar to this have been instituted in the case of the Oregon Short Line, the Utah Southern, the Utah & North- ern, and in fact in many places on the system where the coupons are in default. The same procedure will doubtless follow everywhere on the system. United States Circuit Judge Caldwell, in conversation with a reporter, made a Sug- gestion in regard to the cast He said: * am not now speaking as a judge nor as a lawyer, but, if I were a politiclan in con- gress, I would propose a scheme which, it it could be made to pass the senate, would settle the whole matter. I would introduce a bill to have the government buy up the first mortgage and run the road itself. That would settle the transcontinental rate ques- tion and would straighten the whole matter out.” ADVANCING WESTERN RATE! Rato Sheet Will Bo Ready to Make the Ralse Effective February 15. CHICAGO, Jan, 19.—The western lines have agreed on a date on which to advance the rates to Colorado, Utah and Paclfio coast points to the tariff published some weeks since.
