Mr. Turpin Oucstlona the Truthfulness of Statement by Mr. Wnugh—Friend* lnt crvene to Prevent i«? ttxhllHtfou—Much Kxrltement.

A JSCENK IN CONGRESS.-

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.—The feature of the day in the house was a personal collision between Turpin (Ala.) and Waugh (Ind.) which, but for the bodily intervention of friends, might have resulted seriously.

The house resumed, in committoe of the whole, the consideration of the pension appropriation bill. The chairman, Mr. Wilson (\V. Va.), delivered his decision on the points of order raised against the various amendments recommended by the committee on appropriations, changing the pension laws. Those relative to the transfer of the pension bureau to tho war department, to rcrating upon tho basis of ability to earn a living, to the Limitation to persons receiving' an income of less than SOUO, and to soldiers' widows were overruled.

Mr. Iturrows (Mich.) appealed from the decision regarding the transfer of the pension bureau. The decision of the ehair was sustained—103 to (i:s.

After debate the amendment for the transfer was disagreed to—53 to U.r. The other amendments relative to requiring pensioners under the act of 1890 to show that they are disabled for manual labor and have not an auuual income of SS00 and providing that, no widow shall be granted a pension if she was not married within live years after the close of the war in which her husband served were also defeated without division.

Tarmivy Kut.cra Denial.

Mr. Tarsney (Mo.), in speaking to an amendment, referred to a speech made a few days ago by Mr. Morse (Mass.), in which that gentleman either in his open remarks or in his copy sent into the official reporters had stated that he (Tarsney) had referred to the pensioners on the rolls as "ItuOians, thieves and scoundrels." lie had never used such language, nor would he ever do so. lie was not in the habit of using harsh language towards anvone but if he were compelled to do so it would be not against the men who had fought for the union, but against the mcu who occupied seats on this iloor and willfully ami iriulicioii:Jy falsified the words of their o-l leagues.

Mr. Morse replied that he ha-.i not attributed to the gentleman any words that had not been uttered b.v him. as iar as he (Morse) had understood them.

A Scnniiliou AiiMWjmteil.

The committee by this time was expecting a sensation. The area in front of the speaker's desk was thronged by members who were, awaiting a further development between the gentleman from Missouri and the gentleman from Massachusetts.

The situation, however, took a new and more serious turn. Mr. Morse having yielded to Mr. Turpin (Ala.) to ask a question,*, the latter brought about a scene which has not been enacted ou the floor of the house feluce Mr. Sparks (111.) ami Ocn. Weaver (la.) took off their

coats and proceeded to settle their differences by tistieufTs. Mr. Turpin inquired of the gentleman from Massachusetts whether he was aware of the fact that there stood to-day upon the pension rolls an ex-soldier who was drawing a pension of 519 a month for total deafness, who was receiving a salary of 51,800 a year, and WIID was employed at the telephone. (Laughter.) Now if any gentleman wanted to know the name of this gentleman he could tell it. "Name him name him!" came in a chorus.

The Sensation Materializes.

Mr. Turpin: I do not know whether the soldier is a democrat or a republican but, in the light of present surroundings, I suppose that he is a democrat because he comes from the doubtful state of Indiana. "1 do not believe your statement, unless you prove it," shouted Mr. Waugh (Ind.) advancing into the area in front of the speaker's desk and then the interest became iutence. "The. gentleman's name is William E. Davis," said Mr. Turpin, leaving his position in the main aisle and advancing towards Mr. Waugh. "I do not believe the statement is true, whether you have the gentleman's name or not," retorted Mr. Waugh.

The gentleman can doubt the statement, bnt he cannot say that I am false," and with these words Mr. Turpin came down the aisle and gave indications of mailing an attack upon Mr. Waugh, who was prepared to receive him.

Tnc two men were not separated by a foot space, and had it not been for the intervention oi Mr. Hooper (Ind.) and other gentlemen there would have been a pugilistic encounter in front of the speaker's desk.

IVnee Koslored.

Speaker Crftsp seized the gavel from the hand of Chairman Wilson as quickly as his predecessor (.Speaker liandall) hail taken it from the hand of Chairman Springer during the. Sparks-Weav-er controversy. A touch of tho authoritative hand of the speaker procured comparative order, but. the cxcitement was intense.

The speaker appealed to members to put an end to this most unseemly scene and take their seats, but it was several minutes before his appeal proved of any avail.

When order was finally restored the house, finding it was in no temper to proceed with the consideration of the bill, adjourned

The Situation.

W I.RWELI.IXQ SUHRKNDERS. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 17.—The re­

publicans have won the battle at Topeka. Gov. Lewelling at 1 o'clock a. in. gave them possession of the hall, withdrawing the militia and sending the populists to anolner room. The deputy marshals have also been withdrawn. This proposition of the governor is to afford a temporary settlement of the difficulty or until the courts can decide it.

A Warlike Appearance.

Tho whole city of Topeka appeared during the day to be under martial law. Iilue-coated troops were marching and countermarching through the broad avenues of the city men wearing fluttering yellow badges bearing the inscription "Dep. Sheriff" and armed with guns and clubs were visible everywhere hurrying to and fro. Cannons were being dragged through the streets and here and there a company of militia or a squad of deputy sheriffs could be seen drilling. Hundreds of civilians arrived during the day from all over the state. Many carried guns in cases, a few carried them under their overcoats, but more marched boldly from the stations to their hotels with rifles or shotguns llung nonchalantly over their shoulders.

Troops Refuse to Obey the Governor.

The real sensation of the day was the disloyalty of the state troops to their commander in chief. It was of course upon that that the governor and liis fellow-populists depended to carry the day. The governor had planned the dislodging oi the republicans from representative hall at the point of the bayonet In fact, he twice ordered Col. Hughes, commandant of the forces, to attack the republican stronghold. The colonel, who is a ..Irong republican, declined to obey the orders and was relieved of his command. Then the governor took personal command of the troops. He ordered that no provisions be allowed to pass the lines. 11 is order was disregarded and provisions were taken into the republican fort without the slightest attempt to keep them out on the part of the guards. Then Lieut. Col. Barker, of the Third regiment, was given command of the troops, but still the governor's orders were disobeyed in slight particulars.

Finally Brig. Gen. Hellinger, whose appointment lias just been confirmed by the senate, arrived from Wichita and took command of the forces. While making no public statement to that effect Gen. Hellinger gave it to be understood that the republicans had nothing to fear from him. It was net until then that the governor became impressed with the fact that he could not rely upon the militia to support the government. This caused him great uneasiness, and all the leaders were summoned to give counsel. Tho result of the conference was a compromise proposition offered to the republican house. The proposition was presenter! to the republican house by Private Secretary Clo^p, and was as follows:

First, that all proceedings commenced in the courts the republicans bo slopped and actions canceled: second, that tlio republicans withdraw ttieir guards and no longer obstruct the populist house third, that the sheriff discliur all his duputies, and in return the trovernor would disband aud send home the militia.

The Overture Rejected.

Mr. Close read the proposition and told the members that if it was not accepted in one hour "the blood that will be sheil will be upon your heads, and the people, of Kansas will hold the survivors responsible." The proposition was instantly rejected and the following substitute prepared, unauimously adopted and sent to the governor in about two hours after the receipt of the executive proposition:

Tho Republican Proposition. "First, to dismiss the contempt proceedings heretofore commenced: "second, the body presided over by J. M. Dunsmore to arrest- Frank L. Brown, chief clerk of this house, and the body presided over by George L. Douglas to arrest lieu C. Rich, chief clerk of tbe body presided over ly J. M. Dunsmore, both said arrests to be put on tbe charge of contempt and to be made immediately, aud the respective parties to apply to the supreme court of the state of Kansas for their release by habeas corpus proceedings on the solo question of the legality of both houses third, tbe governor to discharge and dismiss the state militia and personal guards fourth, the sheriff of Shawnee county to discharge aud dismiss all deputies: fifth, the houso of representatives presided over by Cleorge L. Douglas to have exclusive, free and undisputed possession of representatives1 hall, with all the appurtenances. rooms and approaches: sixth, this agreement to remain in force until the supreme court shall decide the issue in controversy: seventh, in order to prevent a misunderstanding In the future this agreement or plan of action shall be rati lied by the presiding officers of both houses and the governor."

Wouldn't Accept It.

The committee waited upon tho jroveroor with the answer of the republican house. The governor dissented from the proposition looking to a case in the court, because the cojurt is republican. He also declared he would not consent Lo leave the republicans in possession of representatives' hall, but at tho same time he desired until 9 o'clock to-day to consult the attorney general upon the first proposition.

To Movo tho Capital from Topeka.

A concurrent resolution was offered in the populist senate by Senator Helm providing for the removal of'thc capiital from Topeka to Kanopolis, Ellsworth county. The preamble recites lliatcxSpeaker Keifer, of Ohio, has agreed to donirte 55500,000 in cash and all the land necessary if tho capital is removed to his town. There is great alarm lest the populist members will pass this I resolution. I

city was filling up with thugs and toughs from the western cities in anticipation of a riot, when pillaging can be begun. The authorities have becomo alarmed, and are taking every precaution to protect the citizens against them.

The populist senators and some of the members telegraphed over tho state lo their friends for recruits, while the republicans inside the garrison and outside telegraphed acceptance to proffered aid, and urged their friends to give them an army of 10,000 men and for them to come well armed.

The governor called out thirteen companies of tho state militia, of which eight responded, but his excellency has had no faith at any time that they would obey his orders in ease of trouble, but would take their orders from the sheriff.

On the other hand, the self-impris-oned members of the legislature and their guards, the latter numbering some 200, rapidly gained recruits, inside and out. The sheriff of Shawnee county, who is recognized as the ally of the republican garrison, has sworn in 1,000 republican deputies.

WASHINGTON. Feb. IT.)— President Harrison's message to the senate relative to the annexation of the Hawaiian islands to the United States has been nu.de public. With it is published the letter-of Secretary of State Foster reviewing the circumstances of the late revolution and submitting the points jf the treaty signed on February 14 by the seeietary of state, and.the commissions from the provisional 11 a waii an govern ment.

Tile M.-ssage ItrlW.

The message of the president was brief. It states that it was deemed more desirable to fully annex the islands than to establish a protectorate. The president says the overthrow of the monarchy was not in any way promoted by this government: that the restoration of I-iiiuokalani is undesirable if not impossible, and that the active support by the United States would prevent serious disaster and the disorganization of all business interests. He continues:

Auiie.xntion Uracil-

"Only two i-.oui'-3 are now open—one tho establishment of protcctoratc by the United States and the oilier annexation full and,complete. I think the latter course, which lias been adopted tu the treaty, will be highly promotive of the best imprests ot tho Hawaiian people and is the only one that will adequately securo tho interests of thu Uniti-d States. These interests aro not wholly selfish. It Is essential Ibat iiono ot the other great powers shall secure tlieeo islands. Sueh a possession would not eomport with our safety and with tho peace of the world. TM.^ view of tho situaliou is so apparent and conclusive that 110 protest has been heard from any government against proceedings looking to annexation. Kvery foreign representative at Honolulu promiittyacknowledjjed lhe provisional government, and think there is a general concurrence in the opinion that tho deposed queen ought not to he restored

Prompt Action Desired.

"Prompt action upon This treaty is very desirable. If it meets the approval of the senate peace and good order will be secured in the islands under existing laws until such time as congress can provide by legislation permanent form of government for the islands. This legislation should be. and 1 do not doubt will be. not only just to tho natives anil all other residents and citizens of the islands, but should be charnotorized by great liberality and a high regard fortlie rights of all tho people and of all foreigners duni.'iic there.'1

Term, of the Treuly.

A synopsis of the principal points contuiucd in the treaty has already been published in these dispatches. Under its provisions the sugar producers of lla-waii will not patiicipate in the bounty provided by tiic McKitilev law unless congress should extend it to tlie islands.

WANATAH, Ind., Feb. 17. Miss Gertie Mack, of this place, has disappeared. Her friends arc divided as to whether she has eloped or been foully dealt with.

Opposition to itul ideation.

A decided opposition to the ratification of the Hawaiian treaty has sprung up in the senate and it is of sueh proportions as to waivant a senator in predicting that il would not, be ratified this session. Senators Vest. 1'aliner, JJriee. I'eltigrew, White, Gray. Illaekburn, Daniel and Wolcott. are known to oppose it, and though a canvass of the senate has discovered two-thirds in favor of ratification it is feared bv lts advocates that tlie opponents will filibuster against it. Of the treaty's ultimate ratification, however, ihere seems to be but little doubt. Some fault is found with the apparent haste of President. Harrison iu sending the treaty to the senate before the representatives of tlie queen had sin opportunity to present their side of the case. Then there is fault found because annexation would work to the financial benefit of some sugar men. Hut these objections will not avail with sueh

men

as Sherman and Morgan, who look upon tlie question from a, different plane. They believe that the islands are indispensable to this country for purposes of defense, and as it is piatty well understood that unless the United States annexes the islands Great Britain will try to do so. The belief is that the treaty will lie ratified before March 4.

One Cuuse ol Opposition.

The article to which most opposition exists is that which provides for an annuity to tlie deposed (jure: and for a compensation jin gross for the princess. They may seek lo have I,he. amounts in both cases reduced, but an examination of the precedents will show that tho provision therein made is a very moderate one. And it is the usual provision in treaties of this kind. The provisional goveriime:/ itself would not be a sufferer if this article were dropped, but in the interest of the acquiescence of all factions it is believed that the article should Vie inserted so us to show that the provisional government and the United States can deal fairly with weaker parties. The assumption of the Hawaiian debt by this country is a necessary consequence of annexation. but the cession of the Brown lands and of all public property is an offset to this liability.
