SPEECH BY A CUCKOO

SK.VATOR 'PALMER DEFEXDS THE PRESIDENT'S HAWAIIAN POLICY. He rondrmo Anclnpholtln, nnd OppciHrn a ItcHoln tlon of Inquiry an to Withdrawal of Our "War Ships. ltULING AGAINST PLANTERS CARLISLE IPIIELD IX HIS REFUSAL TO PAY TUB SUGAR BOUNTY. Uncle Sam's Trouble witU Spain Over Dlftcrlmlnntlnm; Duties in Connie of Adjuxduent The Rleks Case. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Further debate on, Mr. Lodge's resolution askine for in formation why the American ships haJ been withdrawn from Hawaiian waters, took place in the Senate to-day. Mr. Palm er, in accordance with previous notice, de livered a speech aeainst the resolution, re yarding it as an invasion by the Senate of the powers of the President. He defended the acts of the present administration in Hawaiian affairs. His remarks provoked a number of interruptions by Republican Senators. Including Messrs. Lodge, Teller and Aldrich. Mr. Gray also opposed it3 adoption. At 2 o'clock the resolution again took its place on the calendar, and during the remainder of the day the Senate lis tened to eulogies on the late Alfred H. Colquitt, of Georgia, at the close of which the Senate adjourned. After the opening exercises Mr. Morgan ottered a resolution, which was adooted. calling on the President for reports, docu ments and other papers relating to the enforcement of regulations respecting the fur eeal fisheries' .adopted by Great Britain and the Lnited States to carry out the decision of the Paris tribunal of arbitration. Mr. Brice presented the conference re . port on tie Military Academy appropria tior; bill, and It was agreed to. Mr. Vilas, from the committee on public lands, reported favorably the House bill for relief of homestead settlers In Wlscon sin. Minnesota and Michigan, He asked for Its Immediate consideration, but Mr. Tel ler objected, and the bill went over until to-'morrow. The Lodge resolution calling for informa tlon as to why United States war shiDs iiad been withdrawn from Hawaiian waters was then considered, and Mr. Palmer ad dressed the Senate. When, he asked, did the Senate derive the power to call on the President for hi3 reasons for an executive act. If no Buch power existed, was It not impertinent for the Senate to make the demand. He maintained that it was ab eurd to say that the Senate may demand the reasons of the President without at the same time having the right In some way or other to compel an anstfer. Mr. Aldrich Interrupted with some questions as to the power of Congress to control the President as the commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and Mr. Palmer replied that he did believe that Congress, by the passage, of laws to which the approval of the President is necessary, may control the army and navy of the United States. CALLS IT ANGLOPHOBIA. After further discussion of this feature of the matter, Mr. Palmer referred to the epecles of anglophobia which permeated the discussion of so many public questions, and said it was a sense of absolute shame and humiliation to find that the American Senate could discuss no question without bringing into It the clangers with which we are constantly meanced by the overwhelming power of Great Britain. Then Mr. Palmer devoted some time to a discussion of the exciting conditions In the Hawaiian Islands, and the events that led up to and following the establishment of the provisional government. That government, he declared, had been formed without the slightest regard to the native inhabitants, and It was based on a total disregard of their rights. Natives held only 2 per cent of the lands of the island, and had been driven to the Inferior lands. Nothing could be more unfortunate than the annexation of these Islands, and the sympathetic recognition of existing government a government established by this commercial colony. Mr. Palmer paid a tribute to the work of Commissioner Blount, who had been sent to the Islands to inquire into the facts regarding the events -there. The national flag, the symbol of manhood and honor, had been perverted and madea symbol of oppression and outrage. It was placed again on board the United State ship, where it was honored, and there it remained. Mr, Palmer having said that the President had communicated the facts in the matter to the Senate as soon as they were ascertained. Mr. Teller Interrupted him to say that this was not the case and the Statement was not sustained by history. Mr. Teller sent to the clerk's desk and had read that portion of the President's statement published yesterday regarding the visit of th Hawaiian royalist commission, which begins with "Having failed in my plans." etc. Continuing. Mr. Palmer argued that the President had presented a most vigorous policy of non-Interference in the affairs of the Islands, and he asked if the President Intended not to interfere why should a ship be kept at Honolulu. If there was :io purpose to interfere, why should the government be present in force? Further debate provoked the question Of what was the policy of this government regarding the Hawaiian Islands, and Mr. Aldrich read from the resolution of the Senate on the subject, passed on May 31 last. This policy, said Mr. Palmer, was right. He should deplore any responsible connection on the part of the United States with the government of the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Gray argued against the adoption of the resolution. This inquiry asked the President, for reasons, to give the motives that actuated him in performing a strictly executive duty. Mr. Aldrich referred to his remarks, mar'e some days ago, respecting the visit to the city of the royalist commission from the Hawaiian Islands and said he had yesterday received confirmation of the coincidence of dates in this matter from unexpected quarters. He, therefore, sent to the clerk's desk and asked that the President's statement on the matter published vesterday be read. The clerk had finished only a portion of it when the hour of 2 o'clock arrived and the resolution again took its place on the calendar. The regular order was then laid aside nd the Senate listened to eulogies on the life of the late Senator Alfred H. Colquitt, or Georgia. Remarks were made by Senators Gordon. Hawley. Morgan. Turpie.

Another Decinion AKaint the Itounly (lain. org of Louisiann. WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The District Court of Appeals to-day affirmed the decision of the District Supreme Court, refusing to grant the Miles Sugar Manufacturing and Planting Company, of Ixmislana, a man damus compelling Secretary Carlisla and Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller to proceed under the law awarding sugar bjunties, notwithstanding Us repeal by the new tariff law. The case was brought as a test suit. An appeal to the United States Su preme Court is yet open to the planters, the case having gone against them in all inferior tribunals. The court, in an opinion by Judge Shepard, held that the repeal of the sugar bounty provisions of the McKlnley act by the new tariff law was immediate and com plete and contained no exception or pro tection or any rue.neia at tne time or the passage of the law by virtue or the provisions of the McKlnley act. Consequently mere remains no auty mat tne respondents v--aiiioic auu itiici,f uiigui yi t;uuiu lawfully perform. The court then made the" following general remarks on the valiuity of the sugar bounty provisions of the McKmley law: "The fact that moneys have been paid out under acts of doubtful or questionable validity can have no great weight under a system wnere tne question is so hard to be raised in an effective manner. But if there had been a practice by Congress, uniform and generally acquiesced in, our opinion is j uieany against tne validity of this (the McKinley act) that we could nnt tie nntrolled by It in the performance of our uuLy. iiu time, no acquiescence, no estoppel runs against the people under the protection of our written Constitution. Form what has been said it follows that the judgment below, dismissim? the peti tion, must do in an tnings affirmed, and it is so ordered." On the language of the reference of the court to the validity of the sugar bounties, Chief Justice Alvey dissented, saying: "I do r.ot, however, deem It necessary to decide the constitutional question of the power of Congress to provide for the payment of bounties in such case as that proviueu xor oy tne tanit act or lSiW." TARIFF AVAR WANING. Spain Preparing to Surrender to the United States. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. As indicated in the cablegram from Madrid, last night, ne gotiations between the State Department and the government of Spain, looking to the restoration of the minimum tariff on American products entering Cuba and Porto Rico, have almost reached a satisfactory conclusion. It Is true some minor details remain to be adjusted, but little difficulty is- expected in securing their settlement. It aDDpars that 1n pnni,1lnD r tv, TTn ; f .ci States the benefits of the minimum tariff npain nas aiso secured a substantial advantage.

PENSION ACTS TO HE CODIFIED. Representative Martin AV'ill Endeavor to Pa mm a Much-Needed Hill. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Representatlve Martin, chairman of the House, committee on invalid pensions, will make an effort to push to enactment before the death of the Fifty-third Congress, the bill embodying the codification of the pension acts, which i3 the one project most desired bv th Ten. sion Bureau. The codification has been compiled by Messrs. T. F. Dennis and D. S. Parker, two experts who are directed by the Pensian Commissioner for special service with the House committee on invalid pen sions and pensions, respectively. It is the result of much work n,i rpsparrh anrl If tr ua.i-a v, authorization of Congress will materially lessen tne worK or pension cmeiais ana attnfnPVS Xinf 1K7"! u.-han th. ot . f .D n . large were combined with the Revised Statmer. me ypnsion laws nave oeen among the most difficult of any ciass on the statute bonks li Kifr nnJ i1trm!nn Hotxlan leKlslation has been enacted sinoe the revoiiiiiuiisry war, wun a constantly increasing record of enactments and ameiijmems and the code. To learn the final work on any icature or tne pension jaw it is necessary to search in the Revised Statutes, but the new codification gives the whole body of law In concise and conveniently arranged form. The sanction of Speaker Crisp has been secure! for the measure, and as its lMSdage Is earnestly dealred by Commis

sioner Lochren and Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds he has promised to recognize Mr. Martin to call it up in the near future. The bill is also on the Senate calendar, and members of the Senate committee on pensions are pledged to put forth every effort to secure its consideration.

Hill to Iarreuxe Penxlou. WASHINGTON. Jan. S. The House committee on invalid pensions to-day reported favorably a bill increasing from $30 to $50 per month the pension of the widow of the late Gen. J. C. Kelton, United States army; also a bill granting a pension of $100 per month to Gen. J. A. McCleernand, of Springfield. 111.; also a bill granting a pension of $50 per month to Gen. W. H. Morris, of New York. The House committee on pensions reported a bill increasing the pension of the widow of Lieutenant-commander Rhodes from $30 to $30 peT month. MONEY" TO COLLECT INCOME TAXES. Senate Committee AVill Make a Favorable Report on an Appropriation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The Senate committee on appropriations to-day authorized a favorable report on the urgent deficiency bill, which has been held in the committee since Dec. 17. The bill, as it will be reported to-morrow, will carry .the provision for the collection of the income tax and it wU not contain any amendments for the alteration of the present tariff law as at one time seemed probable it would. It will be a plain appropriation bill and if it is antagonized at all it will be because of the income tax appropriation. The total aDDropriation made Is $1,863,000, which is a reauction of $l43,59o from the total of the House bill. This reduction is due to the fact that separate bills were passed before the holidays to meet the urgency ttt the printing and census offices. The passage of these bills reduc3d the total to the extent of $400,000. The committee added appropriations amounting to $256,405. The principal of these increases is $200,000 for the improvement of the harbor at Galveston. lex., which was inserted at the reauest of the House committee. There is also an addition of $25,000 for the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act. The bill also reenacts the provision which, by error, was left out of the sundry civil bill last vear allowing $25 per mile for the survey of mountainous and heavy timebered lands in the public land States. The Senate appropriations committee also completed consider ition of the army appropriation bill and authorized a favorable report upon it. There are several minor changes in the bill, but the total is the same as provided by the bill as it passed the House, $23,259,808. This is a reduction from the present appropriation which is $23,592,884, and from the estimates for the present year, which were $24,605,682. SENATE REORGANIZATION. Argument for Ilnrmonioun Action by Republicans mid Populists. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. There is one consideration which has not, so far, been taken into account which may influence the Republican and Populist Senators to come together at the first meeting of the Senate after the 4th of March for the reorganization of that body, and that is the effect that such a combination, or the failure to make it, the opportunity being pre sented, would have on the two parties in the Southern States. It is understood that Southern representatives of both parties are bringing this phase of the question to the attention of benators and urging that an organization in which both parties would have representation in the distribution of the patronage and the arrangement or tne committees would be the best evi dence possible to give the Southern voters of the effectiveness of this joint wcrk in tne late campaign and the strongest assur ance possible to give them that the combi nation had not been made before the people for the purpose of hoodwinking them. The Populists claim that, in addition to Sena tors Peffer, Allen, Kyle and Stewart, the avowed Populists now sitting in the Sen ate, Senator Jones, of Nevada, will cer tainly act with them, as will Senators Irby and Tillman, of South Carolina, and Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, giving them a representation of eight Senators after March 4. A great many Republican Sena tors disparage the idea of any reorganiza tion, and many who are not averse to it contend that an agreement between the Re publicans and Democrats is more natural than a combination of Republicans and Populists. Large Catch of Seal. WASHINGTON. Jan. 8. The State De partment has published an official report from- United States Consul Roberts, at Victoria, on the seal catch of the British Columbian sealing fleet last year. The figures were compiled by Collector Milne. The consul says they show the catch to be th largest ever made in a single year and that the fear once entertained that the hunters would be seriously handicapped from the compulsory use of the soear has been overcome. The total Canadian catch was 94,4i4 and of those taken in Behring sea, h.iiio were maies ana I4.tvt temaies. The catch in 1893 was 70,332. In addition this year 573 skins taken by American schooners were landed at Victoria, bringing up to 95,048 the total number of skins landed there. The sealer3 took 48.993 skins off the Japanese coast, 26,341 in Behring it rvvi nw i i . : . i i , i . , . nirti. 11,1 ull me onusn oiumuian coast and 7,407 oif Copper island. An Intimation or turtner claims against the United States is found in the release of the seized schooners Favorite and Wanderer without any formal investigation and the prompt filing by their masters with Collector Milne or claims tor damages. t Marine Rand AVill Play ''Dixie." WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Secertary Her bert has given his consent to the departure of the full Marine band, under the leader ship of Professor Fancuilli, on a tour of the principal cities of the South next March. The application of the band for this permission has been pending for many weeks, and although reindorsed bv personal appeals from many prominent Southern men. Secretary Herbert did not decide to accord it until he was thoroughly satisfied that in its series of concerts the band in no possible manner would come in conflict with the interest of local musical organizations, but on the contrary would rather tend to help them by sti "dating the local music loveis. The band will leave Washington about March 15, in the Lenten season, when there will be no demand for its serv ices at the White House. Travelers Bill Favorably Reported. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The Senate com mittee on interstate-commerce to-day authorized a favorable report on the bill amending the interstate-commerce act so as to permit the issuance of joint interchange able five-thousand mile tickets with special privileges as to the amount of free baggage that may be carried under mileatre tickets of 1.000 miles or mere. This is a bill in which me -commercial travelers are especially Interested and for which they have worked hard. It. has passed the House. The committee had the House Doolincbill un-der consideration to-dav and post poned final action until next Tuesday, when the committee will meet again. The ex pressions to-day were generally favorable to the bill and the belief was expressed, after adjournment, that the bill would be reported, practically, without amendment. at the next meeting. Coxey Rebuffed by VoorUeci. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Jacob S. Coxev will not be heard by the Senate committee on finance in advocacy of his eood roads and bond bills. Chairman Voorhees so de clared to Mr. Coxey, after the adjournment of the finance committee to-dav. . Representatives Bryan, McMillin, Dalzell and Whiting, of the House ways and means committee, listened to Coxey, today, while he explained his noninterest bearing bond plan. General Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The Continental National Bank, of St. Louis, has been ap proved by the Controller of the Currency as reserve agent for the Indiana National Bank, of Indianapolis. Representative Reed, of Maine, was in the House to-day for the first time since his recent accident by which he soraJnpd hi ankle. The injured ankle gives him some annoyance, but not enough to prevent his moving atKut. The flagship Baltimore has arrived at Chemulpo, Corea. The Senate committee on Pacific rail roads to-day heard a statement by E. Eilery Anderson, one of the srovernment directors of the Union Pacific railroad, with especial reference to the possible fore closure of the first mortgage and its effect upon the government's interest. The committee decided to take no action until after tne House Khali act. but will then be prepared to deal with the question. i he case of John tj. Moore against Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miiler to contest the constitutionality of income tax features of the new tariff law came up to-day in the District Supreme Court anS was set for a hearing on the 15th insU in the equity branch of the court.

NOT CONSTITUTIONAL

SECTIONS 34GO AND 301, REVISED STATUTES, DECLARED INA ALID. Decinion by Judge Kirkpatrick In Favor of Foreign Corporations Doing: Business in Indiana. P. J. CLAKK SURRENDERS AND RECEIVES A SENTENCE OF FOUR YEARS IN STATE'S PRISON. Convicted of Assaulting Ex-Priest Rudolph, but Fled to Mexico General News of the State. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Jan. 8. In the Circuit Court here to-day Judge Kirkpatrick held Sections 3460 and 3461 of the Revised Statutes of 1891 unconstitutional. They provide that any foreign corporation doing business in the State which shall transfer any cause from the courts of the State to the United States Court shall thereafter be prohibited from doing business in the State. The statutes relate particularly to the enforcement of contracts and the question i3 passed upon for the first time. The Lake Erie & Western railway, an Illinois company, had attempted to enforce a contract with Bernard & Son, local junk dealers, and as a defense it was set up that the company had removed causes from the Hamilton county court and other courts of the State to the federal courts. Judge Kirkpatrick, held that the statutes conflicted with the federal laws. The case will be carried to the Supreme Court. AFTER TAVENTY 3IONTHS. An Ex-Priest's Assailant AVho Fled Returns and Receives Sentence. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 8. There was a revival of the old riot cases in the Circuit Court this morning when Peter J. Clark. who was, la May, 1893, convicted of assault and battery with intent to murder ex-priest George P. Rudolph, appeared before Judge Taylor and asked that the judgment of the jury, rendered on the 2d of May, 1893, 'be pronounced upon him. At the time of the visit of Rudolph to this city he spoke at the opera house. Soon after beginning his remarks a tumult arose, pistols were fired, and men with poles and clubs rushed on the stage and broke up the meeting. Peter J. Clark was indicted for participating In that riot, it having been proven that he was in the house and took a prominent part in the disturbance. Rudolph was shot in the abdomen during the riot. Clark's trial lasted several days. The jury adjudged him guilty, fixed his punishment at four years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $2,000. A motion was made for a new trial. Clark giving bond foi his appearance during the interim. Instead of waiting for the outcome of a new trial, Clark left during the night and his whereabouts have since been unknown, save perhaps to a few intimate friends. The bondsmen were interested, for the court had forfeited their bonds, though the money had not yet been paid over. This morning Clark, after being a fugitive for twenty months, afraid of his shadow, and -rearing to look on a strange face lest its owner should be an officer in search of him, returned to the county, came into court this morning, asked! to withdraw his request for a new trial and signified a willingness to receive the sentence of the court Judge Taylor asked him if he had any reason to assign why the sentence should not be pronounced and he replied, that he had not. The state's attorney demanded that the court record show that Clark, after the finding of thts jury, had fled from the Jurisdiction of the court, remaining outside thereof until tViic ,un v. : - sentence -should date' frcrtrf Jari. 8, 1895, for four years. This was -done, and the court sentenced Clark to pay $2,000 fine and to be imprisoned for four years. In answer to a question from your correspondent, Clark said he had "been engaged in railroading ever since he left Lafayette, and had been in Mex'co. He met but one person from this city that he knew while he was gone, though he was kept posted of the efforts to find him. Once a detective from this city stopped at the same boarding house where Clark) was, but his friends got him word in time and he evaded arrest. His friends say that an effort will 'be made to induce the Governor to intercede in Clark's ; behalf, and they hope to have him pardoned within a short time. A MURDEROUS ASSAULT. A Second Attempt to Take the Life of a .Mo no n Depot Employe. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind., Jan. 8.-There was another attempt made this morning to kill Will Schleirtmer, the night man at the Monon depot. About 4 o'clock a man entered the waiting room and asked Schlemmer's permission to remain until morning. Schlemmer said he was going to ehut up. The man remained, looking at Schlemmer who was using a pair of-dumb bells. Suddenly the man drew a long knife and rushed upon Schlemmer, who stepped (back and received the knife thrust tipon his arm, cutting his coat sleeve and shirt, but not injuring his person. Schlemmer threw the dumb bells at the man and then drew a revolver and commenced shooting. The man ran from the depot and escaped. He had been hanging around all night, and was at the electric-light works part of the time. Scott Terry was placed under arrest at Ladoga, but Schlemmer could not identify him, and he was released. There is no clew as to who the assailant was. On the 1st of December some person entered the MDnon depot, near the same hour and shot Schlemmer in the back of the head. Schlemmea laid on for about a month and had only returned to work about a week ago. Awarded fti.OOO DamngN. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Jan. 8. After a trial consuming almost an entire week the jury in the suit for $20,000 damages brought by Charle3 Webb, son of Marion Webb, of this city, against the Wabash Paper Company, this morning, in the Grant county court, returned a finding for $6,000 for the plaintiff! In August, 1893, young Webb, who was employed at a paper machine, attempted to step over a shafting, and was caught by the rapidly revolving thumb screw in a wheel and drawn down to the floor one leg being so 'bruised and lacerated that he is badly crippled for life. The company proposed to pay all the expenses of his medical treatment and to educate him so he could take care of himself, though denying its liability for the accident, but the offer was refused, and the father brought suit for $10,000 in the Wabash Circuit Court the jury giving a verdict for $1,000, which was set aside by Judge Shively. Then suit was commenced by the boy himself for $20 000 and the case went to Marion on change of venue. The case was hotly contested and the defendant's attorneys looked for a verdict for $2,000 or $3,000, and were greatlv surprised at the verdict for $6,000. They declare that the finding cannot b- upheld as it is excessive, inasmuch as young Webb knew Its dangerous character, and had been naimrj iiui in jump uver it. The case will be appealed.

MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. 8. To-day Coroner Bewers made public his verdict ast to the death of engineer Schull, who was killed in the Big Four collision at Yorktown, last week. He finds that death was purely acci dental, and will not cause any arrests. The evidence also gives another version of the accident. It is to the effect that en gineer Sutlar, of east-bound train No. 72, did not misunderstand or forget his or ders, but the switchlight was out and he could not locate the switch until he was upon it. He then reversed the engine arid called for brakes, but the rails were so slippery that the brakes had little effect upon the momentum. The evidence was to the effect that the west-bound tram was standing upon the main track with the headlight darkened, and that the train could not be seen. Engineer Schull saw the east-bound train had made a mistake and he was trying to back his train away from the approaching train, and remained in the engine too late. If this is a true statement, the main cause of the wreck was the failure upon the part of the man in charge to keep the switchlight burning. Fort AVayne's Moral Spasm.
