WITH GREAT CARE.

Tho President Cautious In Taokling the Hawaiian Question.

WAXTS TO BE SURE OF NO MISSTEP,

And Is, Therefore, Giving the AfTilr Most Car«ful Attention H« Confers wliii Hill AdvUcr* on the uo »4 Ion. -v

TALKED ABOUT HAWAII

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—President Harrison callcd together three of h!s cabinet advisers Monday to go over the Hawaiian question. They included Secretary of State Foster. Secretary of the Navy Tracy and Attorney General Miller. This and the transmission to the senate of tho negotiations of 1854 for the annexation of Hawaii were the most important developments of the day in the Hawaiian matter.

The conferences at the white house were preliminary to the general meeting of the cabinet to-day at 11 o'clock, when it is expected that a definite policy toward annexation will begin to shape itself. There will be, of course, cautionary measures to prevent committing this country to annexation until full information has been received from Hawaii. It is not believed, however, that this information will do much more than add details to what is already at hand. It will at least show, however, that the revolution accomplished some weeks ago has been followed by order and quiet, and that the provisional government is still in authority.

Legal .Mind* tit YPorlt.

The president was with his cabinet advisers three times during the day and the conference over the Hawaiian question covered nearly four hours. It was arranged that another conference prior to the regular cabinet meeting should be held this morning at which further details of a plan to be submitted to the cabinet would be settled. This iudicates that a comprehensive plan is under consideration and that Mr. Foster is furnishing the diplomatic advices, Mr. Miller the features of international law involved, while Gen. Tracy islending his legal abilities to the subject. Solicitor Partridge, of the state department, will Vie present at the conference this m6rning. The fact that so many legal minds are at work shows plainly that the various questions! involved in annexing territory are being discussed. Cooley on international law and Wharton's digest of international law were frequently con suited during tho conferences Monday. These volumes give detailed explanaions of the power which a de facto provisional government lias in treating for annexation. '0"%

Further News Expected.

Steamers from Honolulu are expected to arrive at Han Francisco by Wednesday, so that full information as to the condition of the islands since the revolution will be at hand by the middle of the week. In the meantime the administration will undoubtedly act on the theory that the condition of affairs as preseuted by the Hawaiian commissioners is still in actual existence on the island.

Favorable to Annexation.

While the general sentiment of the administration is believed to be favorable to the plan of annexation, it is understood that its representatives have been instructed to exercise the utmost caution in any action they may take in a matter fraught with so much importance to the future welfare of the two countries concerned. In other words, the president regards this as a case where it is necessary to "make haste slowly."

It will be incumbent on the president to recommend something more than annexation. He will have to outline the plan for annexation and the system of government which should prevail. It is not in his make-up to commit himself in a matter of great importance until he has thoroughly informed himself of all the details.

An Important Conference.

At to-day's meeting of the commission it is believed Mr. Foster will be able to state pretty definitely as a result of the deliberations over the proposition submitted by the provisional government on just what terms the administration will be willing to recommend annexation with the United States. It is hardly to be expectad that the terms proposed by the administration will be at once accepted, but as both sides are working for the one object of annexation it is not believed that there will be much delay in preparing the details. There may be several more conferences with the commissioners before an agreement is reached. Secretary Fostet is anxious, however, to have the matter closed up as soon as possibleju order that lie may carry out his engagements in Paris and the president, while believing there should be no undue haste, is anxious to have the question laid before congress in season for action this session in case his position meets with the approval of the people.

Action Postponed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The senate judiciary committee on Monday took up the nomination of Judge Jackson, but its consideration was postponed until next Monday on account of objections made by democratic members. It is understood that at the next meeting of the committee an effort will be made to cause the nomination to be favorably reported to the senate,

Another Ilaliiiu Hunk Scuiiilill. HOME, Feb. 7.—The Banca association of Florence has failed. Its liabilities amount to 2,000,000 lire. It is suspected that the bankruptcy of the concern is fraudulent, and the manager and cashier have been arrested.

Thurston Withdraws Again.

A LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 7.—At therepublican caucus Monday night John M. Thurston withdrew again, and Paddock will be given the solid vote of the republicans at to-day's ballot

its rules. It was suspension day and the large attendance of members was due to the hope on their part that at least three bills of national importance might be acted upon. Speaker Crisp had promised to (recognize th" friends of the anti-option bill and the Torrey bankruptcy bill. But Mr. Kilgore (Tex.), aided by less than a score of southern and western democrats, was enabled by dilatory motions, repeated roll-calls and other filibustering devices to fritter away the entire day.

The success of the filibusters at this session in repeatedly obstructing important legislation has shown the democrats of the house that the rules for the government of the Fifty-third congress must be very materially amended. In their view the proceedings emphasizes the fact that the filibusters have passed beyond the stage of "protecting the rights of the minority" and have it in their power to throw the house at any time into a state of disorder. Speaker Crisp was so disgusted at tho course of events that he said: "Tho next congress will adopt tho old Reed rules, or something like them, as they have come to be absolutely necessary in oi-ucr to couduet the business of the house."

WINTER HOLDS ON.

Another Bllrzard tn the Northwest He. markable Fall tn Temperature at Various Points.

CEDAR KAriDS, la., Feb. 7.—Tinstorm of Sunday night and Monday morning was by far the worst of the season. A heavy fall of snow, accompanied by a high north wind, filled the railroad cuts and blockaded all trains. Business of all kinds is practically at a standstill. Tiiero was a change of over 50 degrees in twelve hours. It is growing colder and most of the trains are still buried in snowdrifts.

Hunr.iNoxoN, la., Feb. 7.—A fierce blizzard of sleet and snow struck this locality early Monday morning. The mercury fell 30 degrees in eight hours. As a result the street railroad is completely blocked.

INDEPENDENCE, la., Feb. 7.—The mercury at this place took the biggest fall of the season Monday night, from 40 above to 10 below. There is a raging wind and all trains are delayed.

HUTCHINSON, Minn., Fob. 7.—During the last three days of last week the thermometer was not above 20 degrees below zero and from that at midday down to 44 degrees below. Nearly 3 feet of snow fell in the meantime and terrific winds from the northwest combined to make the worst blizzard of the winter. Roads are blocked and no farm teams have been on the streets for several days past. The public schools are closed on account of the weather. For ten days the streets have been deserted and many business places closed.

MBNOMINKE, Mich., Feb. 7.—Sturgeon Bay has had no mail communication with the outside world for four days because of the heavy snowstorms. The town is said to be almost covered with snow. Stage traffic across the bay is suspended. The weather is very cold and growing colder.

BKI.VIDERE, 111., Feb... 7.—By far the most severe snowstorm of the season prevailed here Monday, accompanied by a strong north wind. The snow has drifted badly, filling up roads and badly interfering with traffic of all kinds. The Northwestern railroad, which has very large yards here, is in bad shape. Between Helvidere and Janesville, Wis., several trains are stuck fast and all trains on that line have been abandoned. The supply of coal here is very low, and unless freights get to moving very soon a coal famine will result. The storm has proved the worst since 1SS2.

FARGO. N. D., Feb. 7.—The mercury still hovers in 'the vicinity of 40 below zero and the dispatches say the blizzard is coming upon us from the west. Trains are delayed.

Michael Lapazaewski, a Polander, was killed instantly Robert Biirgct, the Perham blacksmith, died Monday morning, and Jacob Kamiski, a brewer, is not expected to live.

MU8t Hnng Tor an Old Crime. KANSAS Crrv, Mo., Feb. 7.—Charles Carter seven years ago killed John Crockett, an aged man who accused him of moonshining in the Ozarks of this state.

Last week he was captured in Portland, Ore., and brought back to be hanged. He had married and has two children in Oregon.

A Hunk ltohber Guilty of Murder. BURLINHTON, Kan., Feb. 7.—The jury in the case of Frank Lewis, the Waverly bank robber, and the man who murdered A. I*.

IT WILL STAND.

The Senate Refuses to Consider tho Repeal of the Sherman Act.

MAJORITY AGAINST TAKING IT UP.

This Action Kudu the Clmnoo ol the Itepenl lllll for This !S»A«IOII—Senator 11 III Miike# a Speech HrlMllii|j with Sarcasm..

UF.FEATKl).

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Senator Ilill made his promised motion to call up tho Sherman act repeal bill. He preceded it by an interesting speech which was listened to by an almost full senate and many representatives, besides crowded galleries. A vote was then taken, resulting in the motion being defeated by 42 nays to 23 yeas, and this ends the chances of the bill for this session.

Hill Spoke with SHrcn.m.

After some preliminary fencing as to tho status of the bill and as to the right of other senators to make speeches, Senator Hill delivered himself of a remarkable oration. Many passages were extremely bitter, delighted the crowded galleries and caused ill-concealed amusement on the floor. Here is one of Senator Hill's gems:

I cannot offer to the senate on belmir of the state of New i'ork every argument for repeal which Is thought good enough for the instruction of her senators by the gods, half-gods and Godkln who assume our morning and evenine tutorage. Oftacouring of the earth myself, and a most miserable sinner, I would not for the world in these times Bpeak profanely of these divinities. I merely say that In presertbln* repeal they have not thought fit to be cogent. But the senate will kindly consider how busy they are,"

Said lie Had Ueen Shocked. Senator Hill said that when the Sherman act was passed two and a half years ago he had been exceedingly shocked and alarmed and that four months before his election to the senate lie had gone to the city of New York arm there publicly taken issue against the principle of the policy embodied in the law, endeavoring to arouse it puljlie sentiment that would demand its repeal. So that instead of silence and apathy there was now in Now York entire unanimity in favor of the repeal of the Sherman act,. Senator Hill quoted from the platforms of the two great national parties at Chicago and Minneapolis, both of which he said demanded the use of both gold and silver money. It was his duty, he said, to the city and state of New York'to ask in their behalf the. immediate unconditional repeal of tho Sherman law, which repeal would bring season of financial calm instead of widespread fear of a monetary panic. The one controlling reason for the repeal of the Sherman aet was that it was a necessary. safe and (for the duy) sufficient step toward free bimetallic coinage It was in his opinion the only action needed to test and fulfill the endeavor to free bimetallic coinage by the route of an international agreement. That was the point which all his remarks were meant to eouvey.

I'arty i'loil^pd to Kepenl.

The democratic party, he said, was pledged to the repeal of the Sherman law and the party should live up to its pledges. He knew that there would be some revulsion, some discontent. He knew that tho interest of silver miners might be disturbed, but that price would have to be paid.

In closing his speech Senator Hill said that in compliance with the numerous requests made to him he desired to have the bill made a special order for some day that might suit the convenience of the senate.

Senator Vest's Amendment.

Senator Vest (Mo.) gave notice of an amendment providing that silver dollars, 412'i grains in weight, shall be minted in the separate miuts of the United States as provided in the act of 1S37. which coins, and all silver dollars heretofore coined, of like weight and fineness, shall be a legal tender for all debts, public and private, except where otherwise stipulated in the contract and it authorizes and directs the secretary of the treasury to purchase, from time to time, silver bullion (not less than 2.000,000 nor more than 4,000,000 ounces a month) and cause it to be coined monthly as fast as purchased.

Htir* Silver Attitude In Doubt. The veteran Senator Morrill (VI.) made clear the doubtful attitude of Senator Hill by rising at the close of the latters' speech and asking the NewYork senator whether he Was in favor of bimetallism or not. Before Senator ilill had an opportunity to answer several of the democratic senators took up the cudgel against him. Senator Voorhees (Ind.) declared that Senator Hill had "monopolized" the time of the senate to an unwarrantable extent. Senator Morgan (Ala.) followed with a suggestion that Senator Hill's action had presented a "spectacle" such as the senate had seldom seen. Senator Morgan said that Senator Ilill had made his pretense of securing a vote on the Sherman act, but the NeW York senator had arranged to "choke off" other senators from speaking on the subject. For half an hour Senator Hill was made the target for acror.s-fireof criticism.

The Motion lOHt«

After a good deal of confusion and parliamentary wrangling the question was brought to a direct vote on Senator Hill's motion to take up the bill to repeal the Sherman act, and tho motion was defeated—yeas, 23 nays, 42.

Quarantine Ilill Passed.

The house bill granting additional quarantine powers and imposing additional duties upon the marine hospital service was taken up, the Jhcstion being on the substitute reported from the senate committee on epidemic diseases. Also the Benate substitute was agreed to, and the bill as so amended was passed.
