Washington, Jan. 22.—The senate again gave its attention to the Hawaiian question yesterday, there being added interest in »he subject owing to the president’s eonrso in dispatching a warship to Hawaii and in making a semiofficial announcement of his views. Mr. Lodge added one more to the large number of Hawaiian resolutions already piled up on the presiding officer’s desk. It was less critical than those preceding it, and after congratulating the administration on sending a ship to Honolulu, breathed the spirit of annexation and of opposition to any British occupation of Hawaiian soil. Mr. Frye sought to secure action on his resolution, expressing profound regret at the renewed

efforts to restore the queen. Adinlnlrttrat Ion Policy Upheld.

All this brought on a sharp debate, in which Mr. Gray uphold the policy of the administration. He was frequently interrupted and at times the discussion became somewhat personal. Failing to secure a vote Mr. Frye gave notice that he would keep the Hawaiian question to

the front until disposed of.

The rest of the day was devoted mainly to the appropriation bills, the fortification, carrying $2,000,000 approximately, being passed, and the deficiency bill, including the income tax appropriation, being finally agreed to as it came from the conference of the two houses.

Washington, Jan. 22.—The house, operating under a special order, was enai led io vote on seven public building bills which wore considered in committee ol' the whole Aug. 8, 1894, and they were passed.

The appropriating clause in each bill was stricken out and the appropriations must be in future sundry civil bills. The success of the Chicago building bill was largely due to a delegation headed by Postmaster Hesing, which came here in the bill's interest, supplemented by active and intelligent efforts of the Illinois congressional delegation. .Mr. Bontelle was prevented from gaining consideration for his Hawaiian reso ution. “1 hope,” Mr. Boutelle said io the house after the privilege had lieen refused, “that the blood which rests on tho threshold of the white house will not be spattered on the lintels of the house of representatives.” Mr. Richardson (Dem., Tenn.) was elected speaker pro tein to act during the absence of Speaker Crisp.

It provides that the business of selling liquor shall be conducted in a room devoted to that business and no other: that it shall have no other door leading from any other room in the building; that no pool tables, music or screens shall be allowed iu the room; that the presouce of persons in the room at unlawful hours for selling shall be prima facie evidence of guilt on the part of tho saloon keeper. It provides for the forfeiture of license upon the second violation of the law, a penalty of *100 for selling liquor in a room used for any other business, and a fine of *100 and six months in jail for selling to a minor or a habitual drunkard.

pr&vidfa: f,.r a’jaard of three composed of the secretary of the state board of charities, the chief of the bureau of statistics and the state mine inspector, all of whom are required to serve without additional pay except their expenses. The bill authorizes this board to step into a labor dispute upon notification by the mayor, the judge of tlie circuit court, or upon petition oi 25 persons interested and to settle the mattor. There is small chance that this bill will bo passed, though it is probable that a measure now iu the course of preparation somewhat upon the lines of tin bill pro ,ntcd to congress by Attorney General Olney will go through. The state board of tax commissioners issued their report today containing a number of recommendations to the legislature. They ask that the date of assessment be fixed on March 1 instead of April 1; that county boards of review sit 30 instead of 18 days and that two freeholders be added to the board. That a uniform date be fixed on tho first Mondays in April and November ils the last days for the payment of taxes. Some changes in the definition of indebtedness as a setoff to credits. The board also argues at length that paid up and prepaid building association stock should be taxed. The report shows that tlie total tax collections for all purposes during the last year amounted to *18,828,049.87.

Tlie two policemen on tin' car got off and fired their revolvers at the mob, but so far as could be learned no one was injured. Pickets ef the Seventh regiment stationed there made repeated charges and drove tho crowd back. Position of Civil Autlioritie*. Tin' attitude of the civil authorities is a factor of considerable importance. Mayor Schieren Ills consistently exerted all the powers of his office for the maintenance of order. By his direction the police foree Ills been practically at the disposal of the street railway companies for the past eight days. The men have been called upon to do extra duty during all that time and the arduousness of their service has told heavily upon them, a considerable number having been temporarily incapacitated for duty. A committee of citizens appointed last night waited on all the storekeepers in the vicinity to ask for donations for the strikers. At 6 o’eloek last evening *350 in cash had been subscribed besides barrels of potatoes, sacks of flour, tea, coffee, bread, tomatoes, meat and all kinds of groceries. The Pequod club resembled a large grocery store, and the citizens’ committee were kept busily engaged (li--tributing the supplies to the men and their families. The men claim that they are in a position to hold out

for six months.

A Clark county farmer while hauling fodder became entangled in a rope. His horse ran away, dragging him for aiioul a mile, causing fatal injuries. Henry Swango, a wealthy Fulton county farmer, advertised for a wife about two weeks since and lias been receiving replies at the rate of about T. letters daily. John MeHfide. president of the .American Federal.ou of Labor, has taken up his residence in iiidiiinnpolis, where the headquarters of the Federation has been lo-

At a largely attended temperance meeting at Crawfordsville the .Vieliolsun bill now pending iu the legislature was indorsed, the local option feature being es pecially commended. A petition will be presented to the legislature urging more stringent liquor laws. Frank Horning, a prominent farmer near Illwood, has gone insane. A few days ago lie penned his family in a room and was iu tlie act of tiring upon them witli a doilhleliiirreled shotgun w lieu lie was prevented by a neighbor. He will lie removed to the hospital. Charles Shirk of Warsaw, convicted of arson and sentenced to tlie penitentiary for seven years, induced the sheriff to enter his cell on the pretense of sickness. When the sheriff stepped inside he was knocked senseless with a piece of lead pi fn*. which the prisoner had secured. Shirk then put on a false beard and escaped, leaving the sheriff locked in the cell.
