The Hawaiian Resolution Voted Through
Administration Force.
Two- thirds of the gold now in use in
the world has been produced in the last
fifty years. There will be more gold
thrown into commerce in the next ten
years than has been brought out ot the
earth in the last century.
"Your salary has been $4,200 hereto
fore, Mr. Penns," said the employer,
"Yes," assented the head clerk. "Well,
we will iaat knock two hundred off from
now on. That will enable you to escape
the income tax." Indianapolis Journal.
The free-trade crank is about the cra
ziest of the lot. He wants us to send
about four hundred million dollars of
our hard-earned cash over to England
for woolen goods instead of paying it for
home-made goods. He would send all
this cash out of circulation here, turn
hundreds and thousands of American
workmen out of employment and thus
create good times out of cheap pauper
labor goods. Klamath Star.
Oregon's representatives in congress
have Ions been recognized as men of
might, but our people must not be dis
appointed it appropriations for rivers
and harbors come out at the little end of
the cornucopia this year. With so great
a deficit already, the gold reserve
propped up only by an issue of bonds, a
tariff bill inadequate even for revenue,
and a business depression so widespread,
the outlook for appropriations of 'any
kind is decidedly slim.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
l Washington, Feb. 9, 1894.
It required all the power of the ad
ministration to .force the cuckoo .Ha
waiian resolution, condemning ex-Min-ister
Stevens and approving the Cleve
land policy, down the throats of the
democrats of the house. Objectors were
plainly told that unless they voted for
the resolution it would be a waste of
time for them to ask the smallest favor
from the administration, and even then
it took two days to get a fquorum of
democrats willing to vote for it on the
floor of the bouse. It was finally passed,
but there is not a single man who voted
for it who can honestly say that he is
proud of his vote.
tee has completed its investigation and
it is expected that the resolution which
good people of the city fear that it
will have a demoralizing effect upon the
police and that it will result in a large
increase of unlicensed liquor dives.

SHIPS AND WHALES.
Vessels and Cetaceans Collide Sometimes
with Disastrous Effects.
The steamship Petersburg, of the
Russian volunteer fleet, had 'a unique
experience near Minicoy, xnvthe South
Indian ocean, says Chambers' Journal.
A sharp shock was felt by all on board
and she stopped as though gripped in a
vise. The sea was found to be colored
with the life-blood of two huge whales,
which lay floating in their last agony.
One was cut through by the steamer's
sharp stem and the other killed by re
peated blows of the screw propeller.1 -
The German steamship YVaesland,
bound from Antwerp to New York,
ran into and killed a sleeping whale.

liaea wnn a, wusw near oea-

Does this Apply to Ton?
Another story of the great strength of
the czar of Russia is told. While on a
return journey to St. Petersburg a few
days ago, the train bearing the czar and
czarina stopped at a Email station to
allow the imperial party to take luncheon .
The daughter of the mayor of the village
presented a bouquet of flowers to the
empress, but forgot to dry the stems.
The empress, not wishing to soil her
white gloves, hesitated a moment about
taking the flowers, and the situation be
came embarrassing. The czar, however,
saw a heavy pewter plate on the table,
picked it up, twisted it into a holder,
placed the bouquet in it and handed it
to his wife. The czar is said to be one
of the strongest men in Europe.
The East Oregonian classed Hon. T. T.
Geer is a " staunch gold advocate " and
the man from Marion acknowledges the
corn after this fashion : " Why yes, I
am a 'staunch advocate of gold' and have
always been likewise ot silver. I also
frequently advocate bread and meat, in
judicious quantities ; but I protest against
the inference that because I sometimes
advocate bread and meat that I am con
sequently and nesscearily opposed to
pork and beans. In fact, I find it quite
possible for men in their normal condi
tion to advocate two or more good things
at the same time, but you will find quile
a sprinkling of men in the country upon
whom the mention of the word ' gold
produces much the same mental effect
that seizes a mad dog when placed with
in sight of water.
will be adopted by the senate after the iv avoided collision with a dead ceta
report of the committee is made will be cean during the jubilee race around
free of cuckooism.
A bill was this week passed by the
senate that repealing the federal elec
tion laws which the democrats believe
will, through the solid south and the
crookedness of such organizations as
Tammanv hall in the large cities, per
petuate the power of the democratic
party.
The administration is alarmed at the
probability of a renewal of the silver
fight over the Bland bill for the coinage
of the seigniorage in the treasury, now
before the house, and the proposal to
attach a free coinage amendment to the
tariff bill in the senate. Secretary Car
lisle attempted to get the Bland bill
changed so as to make the coinage of the
seigniorage optional instead of compul
sory, but Mr. Bland and the silver dem
ocrats wouid not agree to the change,
and now the administration and anti-
silver men are trying to prevent action
on the bill by breaking a quorum.
There were a lot of very mad men in
Washington when the announcement
was made that the democrats on the
senate finance committee had finally de-
cided not to grant hearings on the tariff
bill. The republican senators were an
gry because they had been assured by
the democrats on the committee that
hearings would be granted to all repre
sentatives of important industries who
might desire to be heard and they had
so informed their constituents. The
men who expected to be granted hear
ings were angry because they had been
deceived into going to the expense'of
coming to Washington. Senator Voor
hees and several other democratic mem
bers of the committee have tried very
hard to give a rational explanation for
their sudden change of front on the
question of hearings, but they have not
succeeded. The - reason, however, is not
difficult to locate. The autocrat of the
white house has ordered that the tariff
be railroaded through the senate and
the democrats on the finance committee
are bent on" obeying orders, even if it
does place them in a ridiculous attitude
Republicans are not expecting the bill
to be rushed through the senate no mat
ter how soon it may be reported from
the committee. There are enough dem
ocratic senators who oppose the Cleve
land program to prevent it being carried
out, although they may in the end be
whipped into the support of the bill or
persuaded to do so bv slight amend
ments in the interest of their constitu
ents. '
our island, in loaa a shields steam
ship, the James Turpie, nearly cut a
whale in two one starlight night. The
schooner O. M. Marrett was almost
wrecked by passing whales in the
north Atlantic. Many of the school
struck her repeatedly with such vio
lence that her whole hull shook and
articles in the officers' rooms were
thrown to the floor.
In 1890 a small sailing vessel, the
Ocean Spray, bound from Galveston to
England, struck a sleeping whale and
received damage. On the morning of
the 17th of July, a whale fifty feet long
made its appearance close alongside
the steamship Port Adelaide, Capt. C.
M. Hepworth, R. N. R., in 42 degrees
south, 75 degrees east. - He followed
the vessel for four days, never more
than seventy yards away, and general
ly close astern, much to the edification
of numerous passengers. He threw up
the sponge in 41 degrees south, 97 de
grees east, after traveling nine hun
dred and eighty statute miles, cer
tainly without resting and apparently
fasting,
In November the ship Earnock, Capt.
Parson, was under sail in 29 degrees
south, 21 degrees west, when a large
whale lashed the sea into foam with
his tail so near the ship that the chief
officer, who happened to.be below for
ward, came quicmy on deck to see
what had happened. He actually felt
the impact of the water against her
bows. ' i '
In June, 1891, while her majesty's
ship Immortalite was steaming from
Arosa bay to Gibraltar at the rate of
twelve knots an hour, she stopped
short as though a submerged danger
had been located. It was presently
found that she had cut deeply into a
whale, and it became necessary to go
astern in order to get rid of the incum
brance. Four months later the Anchor
line steamship Ethiopia collided with
a whale when about .eight hundred
miles from New York.
- There are many families in this sec
tion who do not take The Chronicle, j
some in fact who do not read any paper
regularly. To all such who may chance
to see this, we desire to eay that one of
the first duties' & man owes to his family
is to provide them with instructive and
entertaining reading matter. It is
knowledge alone, intelligence gained by
the exchange of ideas, by contact of
mind with mind, which : raises man
above the grade of an animal. There is
ns better, no cheaper, medium of instruc
tion than the modern newspaper, hence
the newspaper should find a place' at
every fireside. It is one of the things
which makes life worth living. For the
trifling sum of three cents a week we
offer all an opportunity to procure two
of the- best papers of their class in
America. -
The Chronicle is a family newspaper
which makes every effort to give all the
general and local news. It will keep
you informed of the world's doings, of
the projects of government, of the trend
of politics, and of what is going on among
your neighbors. You cannot keep posted
on home affairs without The Chronicle.
It is as necessary to your well-being as
food and drink. ,

It is to be hoped the tariff bill will be
disposed of as soon as possible, so as to
give business a chance to adjust itself to
the new lines. Summer is coming on
with its harvest of early fruits, grain and
vegetables, and at the market prices
which would prevail the effect would be
ruinous. Out first" crop will be straw
berries, which is scarcely three months
distant. Our most profitable market
has heretofore been in Eastern Washing
ton and Montana. Today this -region is
practically dead. Three months is short
time to revive from a general business
depression, and it may confidently be
asserted that prices will rule even lower
than last year, with the possible excep
tion o the first week or two of supply,
which is always limited. After this
comes the peach crop, small frnits,
summer apples and green goods. All of
these will undoubtedly suffer from the
prevailing ailment. - We may congratu
late ourselves if the fall harvest realizes
prices paralleled by those of previous
years. Everything awaits the tariff bill.

bad or indifferent.

The senate judiciary committee has
postponed the decision on the nomina
tion of Peckham.to the supreme court
until next Monday. It is believed that
the committee will make an unfavora
ble report and that the nomination will
be rejected by a vote as large as was
cast against Hornblower. Indeed, un
less Borae of the charges, particularly
that of being violently intolerant of the
opinion of others, are false, and they
have not been disproven, he is so un
fitted for a seat on the bench of any
court that he should be rejected, even if
Mr. Cleveland's open use of patronage
to buy democratic votes for confirmation
were not a sufficient excuse for rejection.
The administration added insult to
the injury it this week inflicted upon
thirty republican cierks a number of
them Union veterans in dismissing
them from the pension office, by caus
ing the statement to be published that
the clerks were discharged for drunken
ness and general incompetency. It
would seem the democrats might have
been satisfied with depriving these men
of their places without trying to prevent
their securing places in private employ
by giving such reasons for their dismissal.
Mr. Cleveland has never been person
ally popular with the people of Wash
ington, wfeo are as a rule law abiding
folk. Bat if he had been ever so popu
lar his act in pardoning the most noto
rious dive keeper in the city who was
serving a term in . the work house for
selling 'whisky without a license, would
have made him unpopular. The man
who was pardoned is the . head of a
family which ' has had one hundred and
fifty-odd trials in Washington courts for
crimes ranging from murder and bur
glary down to petty vioiations of law.
The pardon was granted in the face of
the objection of every local official to
whom the papers were referred. The

A vast but fascinating problem con
fronts Russia on her Chinese frontier
a problem which cannot be disposed of
in one or even two generations. No
power, however, knows better how to
wait than Russia. Time is on her side,
and as the necessary preliminary to all
wise action is knowledge, the Russian
general staff has been making the full
est use of the opportunities which
treaties afforded to gain accurate in
formation concerning the Chinese ter
ritories and everything appertaining
thereto. !
Not a corner of the whole empire,
save what comes within the "sphere of
influence" of the French, but has been
intersected by Russian government ex-
lorers and armed expeditions during
the past thirty years.
These explorers, include botanists
and geologists, of course, but the mili
tary expert and the skilled topographer
are the animating soul of these expe
ditions.
Occasional glimpses into their pro
ceedings are allowed to the world, but
every fact of military or political sig
nificance is carefully conserved in the
archives of the Russian intelligence
department. '
lne minute information concerning
all the northern and western territo
ries of China, which is now in the pos
session of the Russian staff, is not only
such as no other power possesses, but
is incomparably superior to anything
in the hands of the Chinese govern
ment itself. '
Henee it is that whenever a question
of boundaries arises Russia is. prepared
with elaborate maps of the regions, to
which Cuba has not only nothing to
oppose, out which she is not even able
to criticise.
