MORGAN REPORTS. Views of a Senate Committee on the Hawaiian Muddle. Ex-Minister Stevens Exonerated, Though He L>itli Wrong, It Says, Id Establishing a Protectorate— I The President's Course Commended. BLAMES NO ONE. Washington, Feb. 2S.—Senator Morgan, chairman of the senate committee n foreign relations, presented the report of the investigation of that committee made under the following resolution: “Resolved, That the committee on foreign relations shall inquire and report whether, any, and, if so, what, irregularities have occurred in the diplomatic or other intercourse between the United States and Hawaii in relation to the recent political revolution in Hawaii, and to this end said committee is authorized to send for persons anu papers and to administer oaths to witnesses.” The report prepared by Senator Morgan is concurred in by Senators Sherman, Frye, Dolph and Davis, the republican members of the committee, who also made a supplementary report, taking more positive grounds than the Morgan report, while Senators Butler, Turpie, Daniel and Gray (democrats) submit a minority report. A synopsis of the document is as follows: Scope of the Investigation. Senator Morg.yi in his report says that tho inquiry related, first, to the conduct of the government as shown in its officialacts and correspondence: and. second, to the conduct of the civil and military officers of the government in the discharge of- their public duties mrd functions. The report practically begins with a declaration against monarchism in the Hawaiian Islands, saying that we exercise at least a moral suzerainty over that country. Hawaii,it says, is?an American state and is embraced in the American commercial and military system. In this altitude of the two governments Hawaii must be entitled to demand of the United States an indulgent consideration if not an active sympathy. Stevens' Course Justified. Coming to the landing of the troops from the United States steamer Boston, Senator Morgan says that a condition of affairs oxi.v.cd in Honolulu which led naturally to the apprehension that violence or civil commotion would ensue,, in which the security of American citizens residing in that city would be put in peril, as had been done on three occasions. There was not in Honolulu at that time any efficient executive power through which Ihe rights of American citizens residing there could be protected. The authority oft the was not respected by the people.'* Ah interregnum existed. Vi as Virtually an Abdication. There G well-/* • t t'leda.u t hori ty for the position : hat at the ’moinetH when the queen made public her decision to absolve herself, from her wish and support -the 'constitution of lssT, her abdication was complete, if the people chose so to regard it Liliuokalani had only been kept on her throne by the tolerance of the white people, who, owned. 1 $50,00J.01X)- of- the property on the islands. It required nothing ■ out the determined action of wlmt was known us the missionary party to overthrow the queen, and that action , had been taken before the troops from the Boston landed. There was no executive head of the government of Hawaii It had perished. The report then Sails attention to the fact that .in landing the troops there was no demonstration and that' in parsing the palace they saluted' the queen, who was helpless. ’High! or Shelter Under the Flag. In view of this state o's facts the report lays down the following proposition: ‘ In a country were there is no power of the law to protect the citizens of the Unite I States . there can be no law of nations nor any rule of comity that can rightfully prevent our flag from giving shelter to them under the protection of our arms. ’’ The committee agrees that such was the condition of the Hawaiian government at the time the troops were-landed; and that it was the right of the United Slates to land troops upon those islands ;ttany place where it was necessary in .the opinion o: our minister to protect the. citizens'of bur country. Stevens and Wiitz Exonerated. Ccjrniza nee is taken of the charge that the landing of tne troops was intended to overthrow the queen with the purpose of procuring the ultimate annexation of the islands to the United States, but the report declares that •the purpose of Minister Stevens and Capt. Wiitz was legitimate and that they acted ill good faitn and with no interests except protecting American citizens and preserving, order. The intensity of the queen's opposition to the missionaries is referred to. The report speaks of the queen's desire for the banishment or death of those who had opposed her and says that America should not hesitate in the support of a government set up so oppose her. Willis Bid His Best. Continuing, the report says: “The president says that on the first intimation of these harsh declarations he at once laid them before -congress and abandoned the further exercise of his good offices to bring about a reconciliation. Mr. Willis, however, regarding his instructions as continuing to require, his intercession beyond the point where' the president considered that it should cease, held a second and third interview with Liliuokalani. Mr. Willis, in what he did, obeyed what he •conceived to be his instructions, and being •so distant from Washington it is a matter •of regret but not of surprise that there was an apparent want of harmony between his action in continuing his interviews with Liliuokalani after the president ; had determined that the full duty of the government had been performed. When a crown falls in any kingdom of the western hemisphere it is pulverized, and when a scepter departs it departs forever; and American opinion cannot sustain any American ruler in ’he attempt to restore them, no matter how virtuous and sincere the reasons may be that seem to Justify him.'' ■Stevens* Duty Was Plain. "Mr. Stevens' recognition of the new government is justified, the report making the point: "It was his duty at the .safest possible period to assist, by his recognition, the termination ■of the .interregnum; so that citizens of the united States might be safely remitted to the :ave of that government .-for-the care of their rights. Afterward, on February I. 181):>, the American minister caused the flag of the United States to be raised and assumed aui £:•:*;tured.i* -protectorate over Hawaii. This <>ct Off the narl of out. uiiul.vlcv was without authority, and. ■ ' ’. .I:.' .•:> ■ /disavowed by Secretary Foster and rebuked by Secretary Gresham, and the order to abandon •ihe protectorate and haul down the flag was in accordance with the duty and honor of the United States. ,r The matter of annexation is discussed at *ome length, and while the whole tenor of the report relating to the subject is favorable to annexation no direct statement was made therein ■**>* Effect of Recognition. Next the report states that recognition of the provisional government was lawful and has contributed to the peace of Hawaii The report takes the side of the provisional government as respects the counter revolution which the queen provoked and it is exceedingly severe 4>n the ministers of the queen. Misnions of Blount anti Willis. "The right of the president to appoint Mr. "Blount is discussed, the report stating tho conclusions to be that such a right no doubt existed and that the authority given to Mr. Blount and which he exercised was proper. Then Mr Willis’ mission is taken up and the position of the president referred toimbe following: •‘lf, in this course of proceedings, the president of the United States had intended to compel obedience to what is termed bis‘decision’ In the matter, by using the force of the United

States to assist the queon in being enthroned, that would have been an act of war. entirely beyond his power. But such was not the intention of the president, as shown by contemporaneous acts, by his declarations and by his subsequent treatment of the subject." The report then goes on as follows: “In the public act by which the provisional government of Hawaii was established there was a distinct declaration that that government was to continue until Hawaii was annexed to the United Stales. That declaration, apart from every other consideration, would haVe justified the United States in an interference for the protection for the provisional government, which would not have been tolerated under other circumstances.” The document concludes with quotations of 1 official state papers and comments indorsing the actions of Minister Stevens. Views of the Republicans. Senators Sherman, Frye, Dolph and ..Davis, : the republican members, in their supplemental report say they are in entire accord with the essential findings of the report of the committed as a wfcdle, but add that it is their opinion that Abe . appointment of Commissioner Blount and his gift of authority, without the advice and consent of the senate, was an unconstitutional action; in the second place, the <3 orders by which the naval force at Honolulu was placed under the authority of Mr. Blount or Mr. Willis was without authority or warrant by law; thirdly, that Mr. Blount’s order to lower the United States ensign from the government building in Honolulu wps made without lawful authority; fourthly, that the right of the provisional government to exist had been settled conclusively by President Harrison’s recognition of It, and that the president of the United States had no au- 1 thority to reopen determined questions or by any means whatever to attempt to overthrow , the provisional governmeut or restore the ’monarchy which had been displaced, and, finally, the republican members say: “The avowed opinion- of the president of tho United States, in substance that it is the duty of the government to make reparation to tho queen by endeavoring to reinstate her upon her"throne by all constitutional methods, is a clear definition of the policy of the present ad- . ministration to that end. The Instructions to Messrs. Blount and Willis must be construed to be other and more ample forms of expression of that policy.” : The Minority. Report. The minority report denies the correctness of the declaration that the only substantial irregularity in the conductor Mr. Stevens was his declaration of a protectorate by the United States over Hawaii The „ right of the United States to interfere with the internal affairs of Hawaii is also questioned. . The commander of the Boston is exonerated, 1 but Stevens is criticised as having been corf- , trolled by “inopportune” zeal. In concluding, 1 with reference to Stevens, the report, which is sknod by M. C. Butler, David Turpie, John M.' • Daniel .and George Gray, says: “His Conduct as the public, representative of this government was directly conducive to ■ bring about the condition of affairs which resulted in the overthrow of the queen, the organization of the provisional .government, the landing of the United States troops and the attempted sehe me of annexation, a‘ud upon this conclusion his conduct is seriously reprehensible and'deservirig of public censure." Butler and Turpie for Annexation. In'an independent Tetter Senator .Butler says, and his utterance is indorsed by Senator Turpie: “I am heartily in favor of the acquisition of those islands by tin: government of the United States, and in a proper case and on an appropriate occasion I should earnestly advocate the same. But lam unwilling to take advantage of internal dissensions in those- Islands, for which I believe we are in—a measure re- ; sponsible, to consummate at thisYime so d' .sir- ; able an object.” The testimony covers 731) printed pages. The witnesses include Stevens, ■ Blount, many naval officers and resi- '. dents of Hawaii. Stevens’ testimony covers sixty payees and is similar to' his public explanations. Mr. Blount said 1 he had no intimation when he went to Hawaii that the ox-qneen was to be re- 1 stored. MORE OFFICIALS ARRAIGNED. !

INDICTED FOR FRAUD. Lansing, Mich., Feb. 26.—Indictments were found by the grand jury Friday in the election frauds case against Attorney General Ellis, Secretary of State Jochim, Treasurer Hambitzer, Land Commissioner Berry, and Clerks Warren, Potter and Bussey.

D. ‘Wheaton, of the state department, G. L. Sumner, of the auditor general’s office, and ex-Clerk Frank A. Potter, who had charge of ttfo canvass of 1898. The latter was in the room but a short time and made no confession. These witnesses completed their testimony before noon, and in tho afternoon State Senator Joseph Weiss, of Detroit, was questioned as to his relations to SeKgeant-at-Arms Bussey • and his knowledge of the latter's movements about the time the Wayne county returns were falsified last spring. Weiss was also questioned j about the conspiracy entered into by ■ numerous state officers and clerks tc carry the amendment of 1893. The last j witness examined was Postmaster Healey, of Iron wood, who explained ; how he was induced by Attor- j ney General Ellis to alter tho Gogebic returns of 1891, and he 1 acquitted himself so creditably that he escaped being indicted. As he several days ago conceded that lie j would be indicted, he is the happiest j man in Michigan. The examination of Ilealey was concluded at 2 o’clock, and j the jury at once commenced itsdeliber- j aliens, which continued for two hours, 1 at the end of which time the work of signing the indictments was commenced. BOLD THIEF CAUGHT. Henry Guy Fernald, Supposed to Have Robbed a ’Frisco Pawnbroker, Arrested. San Francisco, Feb. 26.—Henry Guy Fernald, alias Wentworth, who claimed to be the son of a wealthy Boston banker when he came here from Chicago a few months ago, has finally come to grief. He was arrested in Los Angeles Thursday night, in company with a woman known as Mrs. Garnier and her son, Harry Earl. The police here expect to prove that Fernald and Earl robbed Simon Jacobson, the pawnbroker, last Saturday and made away with a trunk containing $1,000 in coin and pledged diamonds worth $11,000. The Jacobson family gave a party Friday night, and it appears that Fernald, : who was known to the family as J. W. Spence, and Earl were among the guests. Fernald, Earl and the woman left the city the next day, all having plenty of money, whereas they had previously been unable to pay their hotel bills. Diamond robberies have also occurred here in the St. Nicholas and Langham hotels, fashionable family houses, while Fernald and the woman were guests there. Fernald was once arrested for a big diamond robbery in Chicago. GIVEN TO THEIR STOCK Illinois Farmers Are Feeding Wheat to Cattle and Hogs. Mascoutah, Ill., Feb. 26. —The low price of wheat during the last few years has caused many farmers in this section of the state to hold their grain ■ in the vain hope that prices would go I higher in the course of time.

r ~ ARRAIGNED. — Michigan's Indicted Officials Before the Bar—All Give Bail. Lansing, Mich., Feb. 27.—The most remarkable scene ever witnessed in a Michigan courtroom was enacted in the little courthouse at Mason Saturday when three state officials were called upon to plead to indictments charging ihero with felonious crimes against the laws of the state. Most of tho persons against whom indictments were voted were notified by their counsel Friday night, and five of them— State Treasurer Hambitzer, Land Commissioner Berry, Attorney General Ellis, Sergeant-at-Arms Bussey and Frank A. Potter—went to Mason Saturday morning, accompanied by friends, who were prepared to beeome sureties on their bonds. After the usual formalities attendant upon the return of bills by a grand Jury Attorney General Ellis was arraigned on three indictments for forgery, conspiracy and destroying the Wayne county records. He waived the reading of the indictments, as did all of the others save Potter, who pleaded not guilty. In each case where the accused refused to plead a plea of not guilty was entered by the court Stato Treasurer Hambitzer and Land Commissioner Berry were arraigned on indictments for felony in making a false public record, conspiracy and willful neglect of duty. Ex-Clerks Potter and Warren answered to indictments charging the making of a false public record and corspiracy, and Seargeant-at-Arms Bussey to a charge of conspiracy. Bail was fixed as follows: Ellis, for forcing, £5,090; Ellis and May, for destroying the Wayne county records; ~IT,0C0; Potter ami Warren, for making a false publio record, £2,010; each of the persons charged with conspiracy, il.OJO; Jochiin.

Dobbeiaire, of Lansing, and Henry L. Henderson, of Mason. Potter gave two bonds, with Lester IS. Hudson bnd Alexander Blair, of Lansing, as sureties. Warren's sureties are his father, W. G. Warren, and Horace Wilcox, of Charlotte. James B. .1 udson and Washington (J. Wiley, of Lansing, signed the bond required of Bussey. All of the defendants announce their intention of making - a vigorous defense and have counsel of more than ordinary ability retained. j Another life-sized sensation lias developed in connected, with the official actions of Secretary of State Joachim, Treasurer Hambitzer and Land Com- j inissioner Berry. An examination of the books of the board of state auditors, of which they are the members, shows that they have been making illegal charges and allowing their own bills therefor ever since they were inducted ; into office. ; .

HISSED MR. BLAND. Members of the House Dislike the Missourian’s Bitter Words. Washington, Feb 26.—The members of the house under arrest were finally discharged from custody Friday by dispensing with further proceedings under the call. It required four : hours to accomplish this and although the scenes of disorderly turbulence which characterized Thursday’s proceedings were not repeated Friday the proceedings were fully as interesting. After the arrested members had been discharged Mr. Bland returned to the silver bill, but his motion failed again for lack of a quorum. He lacked only two votes, however,\nd this is the highwater mark. After some preliminary skirmishing 1 the speaker pro tem, declared the pending question to be the motion to discharge Mr. Adams from the custody of the sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Reed called attention to the fact that the question had not been properly stated. It was to discharge Mr. Adams because the warrant under which he was arrested was unauthorized. Mr. Springer attempted to interpose an amendment, which had for its I purpose the discharge of all members | under arrest, as the most expeditious | way out of the tangle, but Mr. Reed j demanded the previous question and he I was cut off. The previous question was vo£ed down—9s to 159. Mr. Bland then of- ! sered as a substitute for Mr. Reed’s mo- j tion a motion to discharge all members : arrested by authority of the resolution passed by the house on the 19th inst. i Mr. Reed made the point of order that ■ Mr. Bland’s amendment was not ger- 1 mane, and the point was argued at some length. Mr. Bland decided to withdraw his substitute and confine it to the discharge from custody of Mr. Adams. On this modification of his motion he demanded to be heard. lie got the lloor and delivered a scathing arraignment of his side of the house. Mr. Bland’s speech was sensational in its criticism of the disorder which reigned in the house on Thursday, lie declared that the men who are obstructing legislation and defying the house .were anarchists and revolutionists. They were worse than the criminal who would throw-dynamite bombs from the galleries.. There were hisses at this statement which grew louder and culminated in the'cries of “shame.” Mr. Bland proceeded in his impassioned utterance. He .said moboeracy had. taken possession of tho house. The mobism of anarchy was being given an object lesson. The anarchist was being invited to parade* the streets and commit his deeds of violence. Mr. Bland proceeded with I frequent characterization of those members who had obstructed legislation as “anarchists,” and “revolutionists.” Mr. Bland said that since the deadlock the suggestion that the speaker should count a quorum had been advanced on the democratic side of the house. Quorum counting,he maintained, j was an invitation to absenteeism. It ; was an invitation,to members logo fish- | ing and wandering up and down the j earth. He insisted that it was the duty 1 of the house to keep members in their ! seats. The democratic party had a majority of eighty in the house aud ought to do business. “I don’t think it is the duty of the gentleman from Missouri,” interjected Mr. Dunn (dem., N. J.) “to lecture the democratic party.” j “If that is a lecture,” retorted Mr. Bland, “the people will read it to the gentleman and every other man who is now obstructing business to his heart’s content. [Deraocraticapplau.se.] While , the opposition has a perfect right to break the quorum, what a spectacle j we present to the country, with eighty j majority, rising in our congressional dignity and defying the authority of | the house! We should proceed to do I business or acknoweledge our incompetency. If we don’t the people will read the riot act to us.” Mr. Bland then drifted into a discussion of the merits of the silver seigniorage bill, which was being opposed by a portion of the democratic majority, in the course of which he was three times called to order by Mr. Coombs (dem., N. Y.). “I thought tho gentlemen on this side,” said Mr. Bland, “would realize that they could not afford to be revolutionists and anarchists. I say we Bhould either do business or surrender.” [Republican applause and shouts of: “Give it to themi”J “It will be no outrage for the people to rise up in a mob and cast 11s down, for we are exercising moboeracy here. If this is a bad bill vote it down. If you want more debate we will give it to you, but to stTiy here and not vote is 6imply political 6uicide.” MILLIONS AWAIT GIBBS HEIRS.

AN AUBURN MIRACLE. An Act of Heroism Is Followed by* Dire Results. Edward Donnelly Saves a Life Almost at| the Cost of His Own—After Tears of Suffering He Is Restored to Health 1 —His Story as Told to a Reporter of the Auburn Bulletin. [Auburn, N. Y., Bulletin.! It is on record that upon a chilly April day, a few years ago, an eight-year-old boy fell into the East river at tho foot of East Eighth street, New York, and when all efforts to rescue him had failed, Edward Don. nelly, at risk of his own life, plunged into, tho water and, when himself nearly exhausted, saved tho boy from drowning. It was a humane and self-sacrificing deed, and received deserved commendation in all the newspapers. There is a . sequel to this accident, however, which thus far has not been published. It is to the effect that Donnelly was paralyzed as a result of tho cold plunge and came near dying. Auburn people havo known, tho family since his wife was Amanda Grantman and his sister Mrs. D. Corry, of 21 Moravia street. Donnelly himself describes the rescue and the result:— “I was general foreman of the F. A. Mulgrew Saw Mills, foot of Eighth street, N. Y., on tho East river. It was on the 20th of April, 1889, that the boy fell into tho river and I rescued him from drowning. At that time I was in the water so long that I was takep with a deathly chill, and soon became so stiffened up and weak that I could neither work nor walk. For some time I was under treatment of Dr. George McDonald, who said I had Locomotor Ataxia. Ho finally gave me up, and on the Ist of June, 1892, my wife and I came up Auburn. “When the disease first came upon me the numbness began in my heels, and soon tho whole of both my feet became affected.

Weaving for the time of bloom: For the trees, a bright green awning, For tho time Os vernal dawning; With a warp of living.groen, With a weft of flowery sheen, Bright the wreaths to deck her pillow— Hanging from the oak and willow— Soon her of living green In their beauty will bo seen. Watch tho swiftness of her fingers Weaving, where the sunlight lingers In the mossy meadow nook. By the gently purling brook. Soon we’ll see the sweet unveiling Os the pink arbutus trailing; Then the snowdrops will peep up And the yellow buttercup— When the soft and hazy— Smile beside Tnii nodding daisy, And ber shuttle she will ply ’Neath a sunny, azure sky, ’Till her weft and warp she doses With the blooming of the roses. —Bbs ton Globe Up to Date.
