A Strict Party Vote Disposes of the Hawaiian Question. Washington, Jan. 26. The Vest sub stitute on the Hawaiian question in dorsing the course of the administra tion and advising non-interference was adopted in the senate by a vote of 24 to 22. The resolution was of fered by Vest as an amendment to a previous resolution on the subject by Allen," pop., and is as follows: Re solved, that while the people of the UniHed States earnesifly sympathize with the effort to establish republican institutions whereever that effort is made, they reaffirm the policy of non interference unless by agreement with the affairs of other nations and recognize to the fullest extent the right of every people to adopt and maln tanin their own form of government, unawed and uninfluenced by foreign dictation. That the administration of President Cleveland in maintaining this policy as to our foreign relations deserves the approval and support of the American people. The vote was on party lines with the exception of Pettigrew, rep., of South Dakota, who voted with the democrats. By a sin gular coincidence this one vote carried the resolution, as it would have failed on a tie had the vote been on strictly party lines. This action today prac tically disposes of the Hawaiian ques tion in the senate. Senator Brice, chairman .of the sen ate committee on railroads, today pre sented a report from that committee concerning the Pacific railroads. The report ia not based on any bill before congress and makes no direct recom mendations, but urges the importance of taking up the question of Pacific raod of indebtednesa It says: "The United States may at maturity of the debt proceed to forfeit the charter of the company and wind up its business, and take its chances of recovery of whatever portion of debts it may be able to obtain. From what we have said above we think it sure that the amount would be very small indeed. It is a question, however, on the whole, if it might not be the best thing under the circumstances to do. We think it clear beyond question that as a finan cial investment operation of the bond ed Pacific roads by the government would be a flat failure. ' In ease of the failure of these plana they suggest that the only alternative would seem to be to refund the Union Pacific debt ior a considerable period of time at a rate of interest commensurate with .the earning capacity of the road. This." says the report, "is the plan which has the most favor with finan ciers and those who have given . this subject much attention." In this arrangement two plans have been suggested: First The continu ance of the sinking fund and the pay ment into it of a larger share of the net earnings than are at present paid to it Second Periodical payments of ! a fixed amount into the United States JL-iS- "'""r , -IBB commiLie uuw. uw.

Of the Port Arthur Atroc ities, t This Must Hail From the French man So Bitterly Scored by Villiers and Creelman. VICTORIA, B. O., Jan. 26. The Northern Pacific liner "Sikh" arrived this evening with Yokohama advices up to January 13th as follows: The missconduct of the Japanese sol diers at Port Arthur is Tstill the sub ject of earnest discussion among na tives and foreigners.

So far as his observation went, there was no repetition of the murders ; on succeeding days. "f Until last week an American officer, who was on the field after the others had returned to Tokio, had yet to; be heard from. His view . of the affair, as now clearly set forth in private tet ters, entirely fails to substantiate Ithe accusation that an unrestrained reign. of terror continued three days.
